Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Farming! Survival Capital Plus One More! ...

"Not yet," Zhong Yuan shook her head shyly. If the seeds had borne fruit, they wouldn't have had to wait until the end of the meeting.

"However, after the unremitting efforts of Brother Yu and I, the seeds you gave me have begun to sprout."

That’s fine! Lu Baian’s face was filled with surprise.

He gave full authority to Zhong Yuan and Yu Jianyi to handle this matter. Now that they have handed this matter to him as a research result, either they have found a fixed trader for sea soil, or they have found a way to grow crops without using soil.

It is an amazing surprise that we can find a suitable way to water the seeds and make them grow into leaf seedlings at a time when even drinking water is in short supply.

For the Chinese people who have been trying to find ways to farm all their lives, the discovery of conditions for farming at sea is a real hit on their minds.

Chang Ruijia, who was waiting for Lu Baian on the side, did not expect that Zhong Yuan and Yu Jianyi, who had never had much active presence in this team, could actually accomplish such a big thing.

If their method can be continuously verified and promoted, then no matter how miserable they are in this disaster, they will have the confidence to survive.

Food is the most important thing for survival.

"This is really great," After they fixed themselves briefly, Lu Baian couldn't wait to board the two people's floating object to see the plants being planted on it.

It has been a long time since I have seen such tender green plant seedlings. At this moment, they are being planted in rows of vibrant plants on floating objects. The two people each have the loose soil they have worked so hard to obtain, as well as a hydroponic nutrient tank built using various items at hand.

But all of them showed their care for these young seedlings. Seeing them growing with difficulty but still standing upright pointing towards the dark sky above, Lu Baian's confidence in surviving this disaster increased a little more.

"By the way, besides telling me this wonderful news, is there anything else you need my help with?"

Lu Baian stretched out his hand to touch the little seedling of hope in front of him, but was afraid that he would break it with his clumsy hands. In the end, he could only regretfully retract his hand and suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

Zhong Yuan and Yu Jianyi looked at each other and shook their heads like Lu Baian. They had failed again and again before, and they didn't ask him for help when they needed supplies to cut the soil and nutrient troughs. Now that they have grown, there is no problem anymore.

"Do you need any help with this evacuation?" Chang Ruijia, who was still staring at the seedlings with tears in her eyes, couldn't help but remind them.

Lu Baian's mind and eyes were now completely focused on planting the seedlings, and he had almost no time to think about anything else. He had obviously forgotten the context in which the two of them brought up these issues.

"Oh, right," Lu Baian slapped his head, "Just tell us if you have any problems. Even if one or two of us can't figure it out, we're all here. We're sure we can come up with a solution."

Zhong Yuan and Yu Jianyi looked at each other. Originally, they had not planned to talk about this matter before attending the factory meeting. After all, it was still in the seedling stage, and they were not sure about the final results.

However, they are now faced with the problem of emergency evacuation, and some things have to be brought to the surface. Otherwise, if any accidents happen to the seedlings that have been so hard to grow, they will not be able to bear it.

"We have no problem with emergency evacuation, but the seedlings are now at a critical stage of growth. In addition to soil-grown crops, we also have hydroponic crops, so we must ensure stability to prevent the hydroponic nutrient solution from spilling and affecting crop growth."

Yu Jianyi built the hydroponic nutrient tank himself and knows best what problems may arise if the floating objects are unstable.

"So we both want to ask," Zhong Yuan continued, "when evacuating, was it planned in advance or did it happen suddenly? Is it possible to evacuate at a more stable speed?"

As Zhong Yuan spoke, he glanced at the expressions of Lu Baian and Chang Ruijia, and quickly added, "Of course, we're not asking the entire team to accommodate our speed. After all, the team's lives are more important. But if the speed is truly uncontrollable, then we can make corresponding preparations in advance."

There was no way to make a promise on this matter, and Lu Baian looked at Chang Ruijia in embarrassment.

Now their speculation still revolves around her engine and propeller, and they don't know what will happen.

He had said before that he and Chang Ruijia would go outside to deal with some things, and that was also to look around for possible situations on the sea so as to make better guesses.

"It's better to prepare in advance," Chang Ruijia said, sensing Lu Baian's gaze. "Since we're trying to escape, we can't afford to take our time." "Yes," Lu Baian echoed, "Only by making all the necessary preparations in advance can we avoid letting down our guard at the critical moment."

Okay, Zhong Yuan and Yu Jianyi looked at each other, nodded, and left the sea with serious expressions.

If there is really no way to ensure a smooth journey, then they still have a lot of work to do.

Pull out the sprouted seedlings, wrap them with a moisture-retaining cloth, drain the nutrient solution from the sink, and proceed with the same careful steps...

Although this may cause a lot of seedlings to die at any time, it is the only way to preserve the seedlings under these conditions. Otherwise, storms, strong sun, and rough seas...all of these things can cause a large number of seedlings to die.

…

As the two people left, Lu Baian's heart, which had been beating back and forth between pressure and surprise, finally calmed down a little.

Ever since I learned about this from Chang Ruijia last night, the breath that had been hanging in my chest finally relaxed a little as everyone started to get busy with their duties, not to mention the unexpected good news.

Sometimes, we are not afraid of things happening suddenly, but we are afraid of not making any preparations in advance and facing a group of stupid teammates.

It is his honor to have such a group of teammates in this strange world.

"Let's go, it's time for us to do our own things." Chang Ruijia slowly paddled the float closer and said to Lu Baian who was looking into the distance and sighing.

Others will make timely and accurate arrangements for the market, which allows them to feel at ease even if they are far away. Now it is time to do the things they need to worry about.

In addition to the news of an impending disaster last night, Chang Ruijia also revealed another thing to Lu Baian.

The monster fish under the sea will bring more clues, so they need to walk around on the sea while others are gathering manpower and organizing supplies.

Also check to see if there are any small signs of disaster that could be caused by propeller and engine warnings.

…

If this possibility had not been mentioned in advance, just by looking at the sea in front of them, who would have guessed that a crisis that could kill many people was brewing here?

Looking at the calm sea in front of him, Lu Baian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Since leaving the market, Lu Baian boarded Chang Ruijia's floating object.

On the one hand, there are always risks in the unknown sea, and on the other hand, it is also to improve the mobility of the two-person team.

There was no way to integrate them in the past, so we could only find ways to narrow the distance. Now that we can merge the two into one, why not choose a method with less risk?

Besides, Lu Baian was eager to stay closer to Chang Ruijia.

It's not just because her float is obviously of a higher level, but also because he can be close to the person he likes, even if it's just on a float, which makes him happier.

"Which direction do you want to go?" As the helmsman of the floating object, Chang Ruijia looked at the vast ocean in front of her and turned her head to ask.

"Huh?" Lu Baian, startled by the sound, suddenly came to his senses, "Why should I choose which direction to go? This is so vast, there's no clear direction."

Seeing Lu Baian's silly question, Chang Ruijia turned around and smiled helplessly, "It doesn't matter. Didn't we come out together? We don't have a final destination, so I just wanted you to choose a direction to move forward."

"Since we're coming from the north, why don't we head east?" Lu Baian coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "I remember Wu Jin and the others mentioned when they came here that they seemed to have seen some official-looking people in the east. Although we won't be rowing far, what if we run into people from other teams?"

"That's fine." Chang Ruijia nodded. It didn't matter to her which direction to go or what the opinions were.

As the two men finished talking about deciding their direction, silence fell on the floating object again, and only the sound of gently cutting through the waves could be heard.

But Lu Baian, who was sitting at the back on the other side, was secretly delighted by what he had just said.

we.

It was clearly just two words that Chang Ruijia said casually, but for some reason, the more Lu Baian chewed on these two words in his mind, the more uncontrollable waves of joy surged in his heart.

Is this the first time he and Chang Ruijia have mentioned the word "we"? Only "we", no one else.

Although they were just on a mission together at sea, these two words were enough to make him happy for a long time.

However, no matter how happy Lu Baian was in the back, Chang Ruijia, who was sitting in the front controlling the direction, never had any romantic thoughts in her mind.

Looking at the deep blue sea at this time, the only thought in Chang Ruijia's mind was where to find more and higher-level monster fish.

That’s right, another thing Chang Ruijia revealed to Lu Baian was that perhaps she could obtain more engines and propellers by hunting higher-level monster fish.

No matter what kind of disaster will happen in the future, the current escape equipment with only one set of engines and propellers will definitely not be enough.

Since they had agreed to move together with the team, Chang Ruijia would definitely not run away halfway. But even if they didn't equip every member of the team, they should at least have a few sets of equipment in case of emergency.

Otherwise, when disaster strikes, the slower the team moves and the longer it stretches, the more difficult it will be to escape the crisis.
