After grinding the flour, Fang Qingdai added salt and kneaded it into dough. She then quickly rolled it into noodles, ready to let everyone taste the pure wheat-flavored noodles made from freshly ground flour.

The problem is that there are limited ingredients and nothing that can be used for fermentation, making it inconvenient to make steamed buns and mantou.

In addition, Fang Qingdai hadn't eaten staple food for a long time and was craving it, so she chose the quickest option: noodles.

But she didn't take it easy either; she took a piece of meat from the red fox's food supply and stir-fried it with chili peppers as a topping.

Once the noodles were cooked, Fang Qingdai had Xiao Mao quickly make some stone bowls and serve each team member a large bowl of noodles!

The noodles with toppings smelled wonderful, a blend of meat, seasoning, and wheat aromas, all wafting out in the rising steam, making all the team members' eyes light up!

Fang Qingdai served herself the last bowl, and seeing everyone staring at her expectantly, she quickly said, "Eat up, what are you standing there for?"

After saying that, she took two pieces of wood to make chopsticks, picked up a noodle, blew on it, and then slurped it into her mouth.

"Slurp~"

The moment the noodles touched her lips, Fang Qingdai's eyes lit up!

She was initially worried that the wheat might not be of good quality after it recovered because the seeds had been "dead" for too long.

I'm also worried that plants grown in the open space, which haven't seen sunlight, might not be of good quality.

In short, all my worries have been swallowed up at this moment!

The sweet aroma of wheat filled her mouth, and the rich wheat-scented carbohydrates she swallowed brought great pleasure to Fang Qingdai's body, which had never eaten carbohydrates before!

She couldn't help but tremble slightly, which fueled her even greater enthusiasm for this trip to find books that could help Zhang Xin enrich her agricultural knowledge!

Wheat! A staple food!

Not planting it on a large scale would be a loss for the wasteland, a loss for all of humanity!

Seeing this, the other team members immediately grabbed sticks and started shoveling noodles into their mouths.

Although the flavor wasn't as varied as the snacks we had just eaten, the delicate aroma of wheat still easily won everyone's hearts.

In particular, the warm and comforting feeling that rises in the stomach after eating this hot and hearty staple food makes everyone think of one word without prior agreement—happiness!

In that instant, everyone felt that they had wasted the previous ten or even several decades of their lives; this was the food that people should eat!

While eating, Xiao Mao exaggeratedly wiped away tears: "Sister, is this what 'ancient people' ate?"

Fang Qingdai nodded.

"Yes, people in ancient times ate these almost every day. In some places, people ate these powdered noodles three times a day, while in other regions, people preferred to eat another staple food called rice."

Upon hearing this, everyone was envious!

Eating every day, three meals a day, this must be the life of a god!

After finishing the last noodle and the soup, Fang Qingdai put down her bowl and said to everyone, "Our main purpose this time is to find books on crop cultivation."

"The thing we just ate is called wheat. It's a crop and a staple food for 'ancient people'."

By chance, I obtained some wheat and successfully cultivated it. Now, our new base has begun to expand its wheat planting area. If all goes well, wheat will become our staple food, feeding our entire base!

Even the entire wasteland!

Fang Qingdai didn't express such lofty expectations, but only reminded them: "Our base's crop cultivation staff lack knowledge about cultivating these 'ancient' crops, so we must make every effort to find and bring back the books that the cultivation staff need!"

Only then did everyone realize the purpose of their trip, and instantly everyone became incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline!

"What are we waiting for? Let's rush! Even if I get infected by the contaminant, I must find the books the planters need!"

"I can do it too, let me go!"

Everyone was very enthusiastic. The thought of having the opportunity to eat such sweet and filling food every day like the ancients made them feel hopeful about life.

Therefore, even if they are infected by the source of pollution, there is nothing to be afraid of. They may not live to enjoy it, but their descendants can.

Their efforts today could very well allow their descendants to live a peaceful and prosperous life with plenty of food. Just thinking about it is exhilarating!

Fang Qingdai was speechless for a moment: "We have space, we don't need everyone to risk their lives to fill it!"

Everyone then calmed down: "Oh right, the captain has a spatial ability!"

Some people felt a sense of awe, and their gazes toward Fang Qingdai were now tinged with reverence.

Fortunately, the wheat seeds were discovered by Fang Qingdai. She had the ability to build a new force, was willing to put a lot of effort into cultivating the seeds, and also had the ability to enter polluted areas that even the authorities couldn't access to find information on crop cultivation.

No one else would likely be able to grow wheat in the wasteland.

What else could this be but the chosen one?

However, what people don't know is that, in addition to those, Fang Qingdai also has a space, the ability of the paulownia wood in the space to nourish living beings, and the pure water in the space for irrigation.

If the first batch of seeds cultivated in space hadn't been improved, they wouldn't have been able to survive in the wasteland after being taken out.

Furthermore, Fang Qingdai's new base was chosen in the lush and fertile Xianzang Oasis.

Wheat may not be able to be grown in other places!

The right timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships are a gift from heaven to this barren land.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they perked up and stared intently at the outside of the space, searching for a building that might be a library.

Fang Qingdai manipulated the space around and around for a long time until she saw an arc-shaped protrusion.

In a flash, Fang Qingdai remembered that she had accidentally come across an introduction to the largest library in China when she was in modern times.

The building in the video has a simple, half-open eggshell shape, with an arched top!

Fang Qingdai immediately manipulated space to go there and looked around the protrusion exposed outside the sand for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Jing Yi asked upon seeing this.

Fang Qingdai couldn't say that she had "seen" what the library looked like, so she could only vaguely say, "I was reading some miscellaneous books before, and it seemed to mention that the largest library in ancient China was shaped like an eggshell."

"Look at the shape of this building, doesn't it look like an eggshell?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi's gaze sharpened, and he hurriedly called to Xiao Mao, "Use your special ability to probe downwards and see if you can find any useful information."

Xiao Mao immediately used his superpower, and after a while, his eyes sparkled as he said, "My superpower detected that the interior of the building is empty and has not been filled with sand!"

In other words, the items inside the building should be in very good condition!

Fang Qingdai was pleasantly surprised. She just remembered that the video introduction mentioned that the library used top-quality building materials and was equipped with the most advanced earthquake-proof, fire-proof and flood-proof technology at the time.

The purpose is to preserve the treasures of human civilization here in the event of a natural disaster!

Fang Qingdai immediately summoned the four earth-elemental ability users in the team: "You guys work together with Xiao Mao to create a downward passage!"
