No matter whether it was the battle-hardened Hellagur, or W who had walked through hail of bullets, even if they had killed many people, this scene still made them shudder.

But with this kind of high-yield crop, wouldn’t there be fewer people starving to death in the world?

Su Xing didn't know what the two were thinking. If he knew, he would only think that they were dreaming too much. Even if there was a high yield, it didn't mean that no one would starve to death. However, it would be no problem if it could prevent many people from starving to death.

Soon, all the potatoes in an acre of land were dug out. Then Helag had people clear the dirt off the potatoes and start weighing them.

After weighing, the potatoes harvested from one acre of land weigh about 5500 kilograms.

This output is already a lot, and Herag and others had obvious smiles on their faces.

However, Su Xing shook his head and said that this yield was inaccurate, because Su Xing used a lot of external forces in this planting, such as specially configured nutrient solution, special care and an environment with sufficient light, so the yield was so high.

Helag and others didn't care. Even if the yield was reduced by 1000 kilograms, the output would still be 4500 kilograms. The yield of one acre of land could feed many people.

In addition to potatoes, sweet potatoes have also begun to be harvested. The yield of sweet potatoes is even greater than that of potatoes, with a yield of more than 5900 kilograms.

The high yields of the two crops made Herag very happy. With these two crops, he no longer had to worry about food problems.

Su Xing took a few potatoes and prepared to cook.

Su Xing has been eating Ursus food since he woke up, which is too much torture for him. He really can't get used to Ursus black bread.

Although he knew that he should respect the food of every country, is this stuff really for human consumption?

No matter whether it was staple food or other food, Su Xing had only one thought when he ate: when could he stop eating this stuff.

Fortunately, the potatoes were finally ripe, and he was finally able to eat the meal he remembered.

Taking the potatoes to the kitchen, Su Xing prepared the ingredients and seasonings needed for spicy and sour potato shreds, then washed the potatoes, sliced ​​them and cut them into shreds.

Next, Su Xing used water to wash off the starch on the shredded potatoes, then heated oil in a pan and stir-fried chili peppers. He then added the shredded potatoes over high heat and added the seasonings one by one. After stir-frying evenly, Su Xing picked up a shredded potato and tasted it. It was neither salty nor bland, and tasted great.

After making sure the shredded potatoes are cooked, Su Xing removes them from the pan and places them on a plate, and then they can be eaten.

Chapter 57 The Problem of the Infected

Su Xing came to the dining table with a plate and a happy smile on his face. Damn, he could finally have a normal meal.

Do you know how he spent this period of time? Perhaps only friends who have been abroad can understand this kind of pain.

Because the food was not to my appetite, I lost more than ten pounds, and my already thin body became even thinner.

Su Xing picked up the shredded potatoes, put them into his mouth and tasted them.

How should I put it? The taste is not as good as what I eat on Earth. It’s not that the potatoes are bad, but the seasoning is not good.

The light industry in Terra is still quite poor. Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and the like are still relatively scarce, and the same goes for vegetables.

In addition, this is a snowy field, vegetables cannot grow at all, and the price of peppers is more expensive than meat.

Su Xing burped after wolfing down the food. It had been a long time since he had eaten so well. Thinking about what he had eaten during this period made Su Xing want to vomit. Now he was finally eating the food he was familiar with.

Next, Su Xing taught the cafeteria chef how to cook shredded potatoes. In addition to this, he also taught a lot of other methods. From then on, Su Xing could eat the meals he wanted every day.

The chefs here are very interested in the method of cooking shredded potatoes. After all, the food of most people in Chernobyl is basically bread and baked potatoes, and luxury things like stir-frying have nothing to do with them.

As for the taste? For ordinary people, cooking with oil and salt is already a luxury, so who would care about such an insignificant issue as taste?

The method of making shredded potatoes is very simple and it is not difficult to popularize it.

However, the seasonings in Chernobyl are still very expensive, not to mention vegetables.

As for vegetables, the price may not come down until Su Xing develops high-yield and cold-resistant vegetable seeds.

Fortunately, Su Xing has improved the taste of potatoes a lot, and even the baked potatoes are better than before.

In addition to potatoes, there is also a high-yield crop called sweet potato. Compared to potatoes, which require adding seasoning to make them tasty, sweet potatoes are easy to make delicious; just roast them.

Although it is okay to eat it raw, it will definitely not taste as good as roasted ones, because roasted sweet potatoes are very sweet. For ordinary people in Chernobyl, sugar is something that only nobles can eat, and ordinary people can forget about it.

In addition to being a staple food, sweet potato is also an important raw material for food processing, starch and alcohol manufacturing industries.

Sweet potatoes can also be used as raw materials for making sugar. Although the output is not as high as that of white sugar made from sugarcane and beets, sweet potatoes can also be used to make sugars such as maltose, syrup, and glucose. The only difference is that the process is more complicated and the output is relatively scarce.

Su Xing thought about it and rejected the idea of ​​using sweet potatoes to make sugar. It was not cost-effective at all. How many people could be fed with so many sweet potatoes?

Let’s forget about making sugar and wait until Su Xing finds other plants for making sugar.

The harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes made Hellagur and others more confident. With enough food, they didn't have to worry even if they had to fight Ursus.

Next, Su Xing began to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the crop area. The method of planting potatoes is not difficult and they can learn it after demonstrating it once.

The same goes for planting sweet potato seedlings. After being taught a few times, I basically learned it.

Su Xing assigned the second-generation potatoes and sweet potatoes to the farmers to grow. The first-generation potatoes and sweet potatoes were protected by him in the deepest laboratory. No one except him and specific people could enter, thus eliminating the possibility of theft.

You know, after the war with Ursus, the news about potatoes and sweet potatoes will definitely be exposed. By then, we don't know how many people will want to come and steal the potatoes and sweet potatoes. We have to protect them well.

As for those grown outside, there is no need to worry even if they are stolen, because after the potatoes and sweet potatoes are mature, their next generation will not have such a large yield and taste.

Instead, it will degenerate back to its original appearance, so there is no need to worry even if the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown here are stolen.

After the potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted, Su Xing began to recall troops from other places, because after this period of study, most people in Chernobyl were able to take on some management positions.

Moreover, the military is not suitable for politics. Separation of military and politics is necessary, and the military only needs to be responsible for fighting.

After the army was recalled, Su Xing let these people enter the army for retraining. Through his own abilities, Su Xing found that some people with weak wills had begun to enjoy it.

As for these people, Su Xing directly threw them into the military for training. It would be best if this mentality could be suppressed. If not, these people would basically have no chance of becoming high-ranking officials in the military.

In an organization like the military, Su Xing would never allow people with weak wills to reach high-level positions.

Next, Su Xing began to let some young people who had received training enter various management levels. Their positions would definitely not be high at the beginning, but as long as these people worked hard, everyone would have the opportunity to be promoted.

Moreover, young people have a strong ability to accept new ideas and can accept various new ideas more quickly. The Communist Manifesto written by Su Xing is basically read by young people.

Moreover, young people are full of creativity, have wild ideas, and are not lacking in courage and passion. Everyone has the idea of ​​making a career.

People who have risen from the bottom have stronger ideas. After all, they know that whether they can break through their original class depends on whether they can make a career.

Su Xing thought these people’s ideas were great. After all, competition was motivation, and healthy competition would bring good results, as long as it was not vicious competition.

And there is no need to worry about encountering any obstacles. As long as what they want to do is beneficial to the people, Su Xing will support it.

However, Su Xing would not support all of them. He would strictly review the submitted plans to make sure there were no problems. If the plans were all false, empty or fantastic, Su Xing would never agree to them.

After these issues were resolved, Su Xing began to look through the submitted documents. These were all matters that required his final decision.

For example, during this period, some infected people are close to death. In order to prevent these infected people from crystallizing into dust and spreading to other people, the people below suggested building isolation rooms in various places in Chernobyl.

Let the dying infected people enter it to prevent the Originium dust that erupts after their death from infecting ordinary people.

Su Xing frowned. Although he thought this practice was a bit cruel, the infected people who were about to die were really like time bombs.

If ordinary people inhale the Originium dust that erupts after their death, there is a high probability that they will be infected with Ore Disease. If a patient with Ore Disease inhales it, it is likely to make the Ore Disease worse. Mild to moderate, and moderate to severe is a real thing.

Chapter 58 Inhibitors

It is precisely because patients with oripathy are in such great danger when they are about to die that countries dare to persecute the infected so blatantly.

Even countries like Yan and Lateran, which have a lot of goodwill towards the infected, will expel them if they find them infected. But even so, it is still much better than countries like Ursus, which treat the infected as completely non-human.

There is currently no good way to deal with the infected, and building isolation rooms is the best solution at the moment.

And there are quite a few infected people who agree with this. After all, the treatment of infected people in Chernobyl is much better than before. They are provided with professional isolation suits when entering dangerous places, and their salary is the same as that of normal people.

There are also subsidies for injuries, and the infected people all agree to the construction of isolation rooms. After all, they don’t want the Originium crystals in their bodies to spread after their death and infect others with the Ore Disease.

You know, there are still many infected people who have relatives and loved ones. They certainly don’t want their deaths to affect their families and loved ones.

Su Xing thought about it and agreed to this idea. However, the infected people who want to enter the isolation room must undergo strict review. No one is allowed to force the infected people to enter. Even if the infected people themselves are willing, they must be reviewed first.

This is also done to prevent some bad things, and Su Xing plans to secretly let Lev's intelligence personnel investigate it first, and will start the review after confirming that there is no problem.

After reviewing the documents, Su Xing was also thinking about how to solve the problem of oripathy.

It will take time to develop an antidote for oripathy, so we can only develop an inhibitor of oripathy first.

For the time being, Su Xing had no idea about this. After all, he had done very little research on Originium, and had not observed or studied the physical conditions of the infected. In addition, the equipment in the laboratory in Chernobog was relatively low-level, making it difficult to conduct research.

Su Xing thought about it and decided to make the painkillers first. After all, medicine is an indispensable thing no matter where it is.

Chernobyl also has a regular hospital, but the doctors there don't do much research on oripathy.

Su Xing also took some painkillers from the hospital for research. Whether they were effective or not is another matter, but the side effects were quite severe.

Su Xing set up a research team and asked these people to be responsible for drug research and development. In addition to ordinary drugs, they will also conduct research on important drugs.

Drugs such as anesthetics and painkillers are the focus of research. Su Xing will also take time to study in the research group to enrich his experience in medicine.

With a large amount of financial investment, the research team progressed rapidly. Su Xing also learned a lot of medical knowledge and brought forth a lot of new knowledge.

Using this knowledge, Su Xing has developed many new drugs.

New varieties of painkillers have also been developed. They are much cheaper than the original painkillers and have fewer side effects. The addictiveness of this type of painkiller has also been eliminated by Su Xing. The improved painkillers are not expensive and even ordinary people can afford them.

However, in order to prevent painkillers from being abused, Su Xing also made some restrictions, and only certain groups of people can buy them.

For example, people infected with oripathy, or people recovering from surgery.

Some injured people can also purchase it, or in other special circumstances, and you must have a certificate to buy painkillers, and you cannot buy them without a certificate.

Su Xing didn't want painkillers to become a must-have medicine. It is better to control the use of such things. If you want to buy painkillers, go to the hospital for a check-up and make sure that you are the one who needs them before you can buy them.

Although the new painkillers have eliminated addiction and reduced many side effects, the side effects have not completely disappeared and some still remain.

Fortunately, the more serious side effects on the body have been eliminated. Although there are remaining side effects, their impact on the body is relatively small, so there is no need to worry.

Moreover, Su Xing also strictly regulated the price of painkillers and prohibited selling them at high prices. If the purchase price exceeded the limit, the person responsible for selling would be in trouble.

Su Xing would also ask intelligence personnel to conduct checks from time to time to prevent anyone from making a profit from it.

However, there is no need to worry in the short term. After all, there are only two or three hospitals that can sell painkillers, and any problems will be easily discovered.

In addition to painkillers, mineralogy inhibitors are also under research, but it will take some time to develop them. In fact, mineralogy inhibitors already exist, but they are too expensive.

Only nobles and rich people can afford this kind of thing, ordinary people can forget about it.

Su Xing was not surprised by this. After all, every country has inhibitors. As for why they have not been circulated, it is just a matter of price.

You should know that people infected with oripathy are not only ordinary people, even nobles can suffer from it. Compared with ordinary people who have no way to treat it, nobles with oripathy can go to the hospital and use various advanced equipment and medicines for treatment.

Therefore, there must be nobles suffering from oripathy who would ask their hospitals to conduct research on inhibitors.

Moreover, this inhibitor has few side effects and takes effect quickly. The only price is that it is expensive. It is extremely expensive.

Chernobyl's hospital also has inhibitors, which are prepared for the nobles.

After obtaining the information, Su Xing asked the research team to start studying the inhibitors, and strive to reduce the price of the inhibitors to a level that ordinary people can afford.

...............

After improvements made by Su Xing and his research team, they successfully produced a mineral disease inhibitor. The price of the new inhibitor is affordable even for ordinary people. Although its effect is not as good as that used by nobles, its price has been reduced a lot.

While conducting the inhibitor experiment, Su Xing had been observing that it had a good suppressive effect on oripathy. Patients with mild to moderate oripathy all showed obvious inhibitory effects after taking the inhibitor.

The mineralogy in the body of an infected person who takes inhibitors will be suppressed to a relatively low level by the drugs. Even if the mineralogy breaks out, the damage it causes to the body can be reduced a lot.

However, the inhibitors have little effect on those with severe infections. Currently, Su Xing and his research team are still in the process of making modifications, striving to develop inhibitors that can also work on those with severe infections.

Su Xing didn't have any good solution for this, he could only take it slow. It was difficult to solve this kind of problem in a short period of time, and it was already good enough to be able to develop a popular inhibitor.

After confirming that the inhibitor had no problems after passing human experiments, Su Xing began to put the mineralopathy inhibitor on the shelves for sale. The price was not expensive. A worker could buy an inhibitor that could be taken continuously for a month with the salary of a dozen days' work.

However, Su Xing feels that it is still a bit expensive, but there is nothing he can do. This is the best price he can offer for now. He can only wait and see if a lower-priced inhibitor can be developed in the future.

Su Xing remembered that Rhodes Island seemed to have low-priced inhibitors, and the effect was not bad. If he had time, he could contact Rhodes Island and discuss the purchase of the inhibitors with them.

While Su Xing was thinking about the problem, W walked in. When he saw Su Xing, he said directly: "The Ursus army is coming."

Chapter 59: The Basics in the Snowfield

Su Xing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Ursus army would arrive so quickly?

It seems that the duke's army has returned to the duke's territory. He should report what happened here.
