Since this wasn't the first time clean water had flowed freely from the tap during a live stream, most of the comments weren't filled with amazement at how clean the water was. Instead, many people expressed doubts about the tender, juicy sweet potatoes.

Will eating undried sweet potatoes cause poisoning?

Didn't you see the streamer washing this sweet potato with Class III water? Class III water definitely has a disinfecting effect; rinsing it will eliminate any toxins.

No! According to the 79,655th entry in "Ten Trillion Whys," sweet potatoes in ancient times were grown in the ground and were the tubers of an annual herbaceous plant that could be eaten directly; they were classified as a grain crop.

[Aren't green workshops incapable of growing food crops?]

Can we completely trust what the rich people in the safe zone say? They definitely won't supply such low-quality food crops to the quarantine zone anymore. If the safe zone doesn't even have any left, where will the master prints for the 7D printer come from? Don't they sell dried sweet potatoes in the store? Besides, this is the streamer's exclusive zone. So I'm certain that the sweet potatoes in the exclusive zone are grown.

[It was indeed grown; the smart assistant just confirmed it.]

[Smart assistants are even less reliable. If you ask them how many Suncoins it costs to live in a safe zone, they'll reply, "Can you even go to a safe zone in your lifetime?"... Damn it!]

The AI ​​assistant's answers seem fine; whenever I ask it a question, it always replies, "You'll find out when you get there."

[Damn it, they look down on me for even being able to go to the safe zone! I can always go mining diamonds!]

I really want to check out the exclusive area.

[If you don't even have a chance to go to the safe zone, what right do you have to dream of the exclusive zone?]

[Sorry to the person upstairs, I just immigrated to the safe zone yesterday, so I do have the right to think about moving to the exclusive zone.]

Upon hearing someone reveal that they were a resident of the newly safe zone who had immigrated yesterday, most of the spectators in the quarantine area became interested.

It's important to know that, aside from regular live streams, the long-time residents of the safe zone are usually tight-lipped about all the rules and regulations of the safe zone. Whether they know anything special depends on the newcomers.

So everyone quickly asked how life was in the safe zone, especially how much the daily rent was.

Haha, you'd never guess what the safe zone actually is...

The guy, who had just immigrated to the safe zone yesterday, received a warning from the livestreaming platform before he could even type and send the message: "Safe Zone Rule Number One: It is strictly forbidden to disclose any specific information about the safe zone outside of this zone. Violators will have their assets confiscated and be expelled from the safe zone."

Uh! I finally immigrated to a safe zone, and I don't want to lose a connection because of talking too much. Besides, even if I wanted to, the platform wouldn't allow it and cut me off directly.

So everyone was eager for this resident, who had just immigrated to the safe zone yesterday, to reveal something, but they never got to hear it.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the camera, Li Lechen had already washed the sweet potatoes and continued, "Next, we need to peel them and then cut them into chunks."

At the same time, he opened the rice jar.

Sweet potatoes are nothing special. After all, in the future world, 7D printers can replicate many kinds of fruits and vegetables, including sweet potatoes. After dehydration, they can be made into dried fruit or canned goods. A can can be bought for a few or a dozen Sunshine Coins, so they are not very precious.

However, rice is a rarity, as are other grains.

Because rice contains more than 75% carbohydrates, although it is our staple food, its nutritional value is relatively low.

Moreover, the rice cultivation process has particularly high environmental requirements. Ever since rice was on the verge of extinction due to environmental reasons, the Green Workshop family has been working hard to maintain the biological vitality of rice varieties.

However, time is a cruel mistress.

It's also very sharp.

The environment suddenly deteriorated; almost overnight, monitoring data showed that ozone production capacity plummeted from 40 billion tons per year to less than 500 million tons.

This value almost signifies the complete paralysis of the planet's self-protective mechanisms.

At this point, the production of artificial ozone was capped at just 10 billion tons. Furthermore, due to transportation issues and the highly unstable nature of ozone, this figure cannot be increased in the short term.

Therefore, building safe cabins that could withstand ultraviolet radiation as quickly as possible for as many people as possible became the government's top priority at the time.

Selecting plants and animals with the greatest conservation value became the primary task for zoologists and botanists at the time.

Rice cannot be abandoned; however, under the influence of big data, its cost-effectiveness is so low that it is simply ignored.

When the experts met, they discovered that everyone assumed rice would definitely be included, but no one actually did it.

Today, the World Plant Bank has fewer than one hundred grains of rice remaining, preserved in a sealed, low-temperature, and dry environment. Although these grains have been preserved in this way, they can no longer be grown, and there is no point in consuming them.

The process of removing toxins from food printed completely dehydrated by 7D printers is still under investigation. Therefore, even among the permanent residents of the safe zone, apart from those over 400 years old who may have eaten rice before, most have never eaten it before.

If there were even a single grain of rice that still possesses biological activity, the Green Workshop could completely re-cultivate the rice species using its current planting technology.

Unfortunately, we weren't aware of this at the time, thinking that environmental degradation wouldn't happen so quickly...

But now—through Li Lechen's live stream, what everyone sees is not just one or two grains of rice, but a whole vat of rice!

Although it has no biological activity, there's still so much rice!
