Traveling Trader of the Apocalypse

While others struggle to survive in the wasteland, Wei Lun, a modern man, enjoys fresh vegetables, an endless supply of beef and mutton, and piles of snacks.

He can freely travel back and for...

Chapter 255 Seed Project?

Although they possess the capability to produce and launch satellites, their technological level is still far from what it was before the disaster.

Before the disaster, sending people on Earth orbit was possible; now it's just a matter of basic scientific understanding!

“Honey, look at the settlement we built. It’s already home to 20,000 people.”

"Step by step, we have reached this year, and almost three years have passed without us realizing it."

Qin Mutong looked at Wei Lun's handsome face with tenderness and admiration.

"Yes, but we also need to transform now."

Wei Lun pondered, saying, "The population of the settlement has increased significantly, but most people are still on the verge of survival, living in constant fear of starvation or being killed by zombies."

Even the Guardian Group cannot support more than 20,000 people indefinitely.

They had to work hard to obtain food, but in this apocalyptic world, all food was gone; apart from the meat of strange beasts, there was simply no other food source.

Alternatively, they could do manual labor for the rich to obtain food, using a small number of zombie cores to buy food from the market.

"Transformation?"

Qin Mutong became even more curious, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Honey, what do you want to do now?"

Qin Mutong said with great anticipation, "Every time Wei Lun does something, it completely changes this apocalypse."

Now that Wei Lun has announced a transformation, it means there is hope for those struggling to survive.

"Yes, we can't just stand by and watch people starve to death."

"Didn't I bring over a hundred pounds of seeds last time? Let's test it out."

Wei Lun smiled and said, his face still very calm, exuding confidence.

The land in the apocalypse is definitely not suitable for growing vegetables, but hydroponics technology is very advanced there.

However, what's needed now is testing. If vegetables can be grown hydroponically, then we can try raising mutated beasts.

This would ensure a much greater food supply for humans, preventing people from starving to death.

This is also why Wei Lun wanted to unite the entire nation. Wei Lun possessed the seeds, and once the technology matured, all cooperating forces across the country could cultivate food without soil.

Then all the people in the country can unite and survive!

"Honey, that's easy. We definitely have some agricultural talent in our Guardian Group!"

"As long as we gather these agricultural talents, hydroponics will surely be very successful, and the AI ​​also has the technical data."

"We just need to try it and we'll know the result."

Qin Mutong was extremely excited. She had originally thought those seeds were for hydroponics, but she hadn't expected Wei Lun to have such far-reaching intentions.

They even wanted to use the hydroponics technology and the seeds he could bring to directly feed the entire post-apocalyptic world.

Such a grand vision is beyond Qin Mutong's reach; she can only admire it. This is something that benefits all of humanity and is a way to completely change humanity's passive situation.

"Let's go, honey, I can't wait any longer, let's go home!"

Qin Mutong said with a smile, eager to put it into action, as it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

We can still recruit a wave of agricultural talent. Most of the people who went out hunting have returned. We just need to make a announcement over the loudspeaker at the Guardian Group, and countless talented people will come for interviews.

So, led by Qin Mutong, Wei Lun and she returned to headquarters to arrange the next agricultural plan.

This is a brand new seed project, a hope for humanity!

At the intersection of Zhengjie Street and the Weishi Group, Qin Mutong's assistant recruitment has already begun.

Speaking of agricultural talent, out of a population of over 20,000, there are at least several hundred.

After discussion and selection, at least one hundred highly skilled agricultural professionals can be chosen. This number is more than enough to test the seed project.

...

One week later,

All the talented individuals have been recruited into the guard, and they have been placed in a separate agricultural category. This category will likely become the largest guard unit in the future.

Because they do not participate in combat, but are combat reserves, their main task is agricultural production.

Wei Lun returned to the modern world midway, bringing back a staggering ten thousand catties of seeds. Such a quantity was far too much for a hundred-plus people to handle.

However, the actual test still used the same 100 jin (50 kg) of seeds, with one person responsible for testing one jin (500 kg) of seeds.

As for these 10,000 jin of seeds, they're for later use; actually, the quantity isn't quite enough.

After all, some of it is grown by themselves, and some is used for trading with other forces.

"Mu Tong, let them handle the seed project. Don't overwork yourself."

Wei Lun watched as Qin Mutong personally oversaw the seed growth in the nearest production warehouse, her hands gloved.

"Honey, you don't know how satisfying it is to watch the seeds you plant sprout."

Qin Mutong actually quite enjoyed this kind of work; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she found it enjoyable. After all, in the apocalypse, food was everyone's hope.

Watching the seeds you planted sprout is a very exciting and joyful thing.

"Honey, do you want to give it a try?"

Qin Mutong said with a smile, as if she were a child, very curious about the growth of seeds.

"Hehe, I'll just stay with you."

Wei Lun stood beside Qin Mutong, occasionally helping her comb her hair to prevent it from falling everywhere.

After all, wet hair would affect her mood, so the beautiful woman planting seeds was just a matter of curiosity and playfulness.

If all the seeds were truly entrusted to Qin Mutong, there was a fear she would quickly run away. However, all the agricultural experts here were determined to succeed.

If everyone else's seeds grow strong and healthy, but yours fail to sprout and turn out small and unsightly, you'll naturally lose face. Therefore, these experts don't waste any time; they basically spend all their time in the seed cultivation facility, except for eating and sleeping.

This very tight process took about a month.

One hundred kilograms of seeds have all been cultivated, and various kinds of fresh vegetables are in the factory.

The entire Guardian Group was filled with a joyous atmosphere; the seed project was a success!

This means that in the future apocalypse, as long as there are seeds, there will be a continuous supply of food. As for the nutrients in the petri dishes, they can be obtained entirely from the beasts, and there are many wild plants that can be used. Trace resources can also be extracted from the soil.

Although it's quite troublesome, being able to grow vegetables is a great joy.

So, the first batch of vegetables was all put on the market and sold. The entire Weishi Group was in a frenzy of buying them. Although everyone knew they were hydroponically grown, the important thing was that these were fresh vegetables that everyone wanted.

The success of soilless culture technology immediately became a hot topic on the smart brain!
