Seeing their eager expressions, Jiang Mi quickly coughed to stop some people from getting too excited, "Stop looking, put the boxes on the shelves quickly, and those who know how to grow vegetables can come to me to get seeds!"
These words immediately dispelled the fanatical thoughts in some people's minds, and several people immediately stood up and came to Jiang Mi, "Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, I can!"
"Me too! I'm from the countryside, and I used to work in the fields with my family!"
"Me, me, me! I grew tomatoes and other vegetables on my balcony!"
Looking at the five or six people in front of her, Jiang Mi raised her hand and signaled them to be quiet. When they were silent and looked at her eagerly, she took out a box of seeds that she had prepared earlier and placed it in front of them. "These are basically some seasonal vegetable seeds, and some fruit seeds. Pick some that you can plant and plant them first."
Several people who knew how to grow vegetables immediately came forward excitedly and surrounded the small box to pick and choose. Soon everyone had five or six packets of seeds in their hands.
Seeing that they had all made their selections, Jiang Mi continued, "These soils are all modified high-efficiency composite soils. They can effectively shorten the growth time of crops by about half without affecting the nutritional value of the crops. However, the time required for different crops is different, so everyone needs to explore and record it on their own."
When these words were spoken, not only the people who were growing vegetables, but even the people who were placing the incubators nearby were so shocked that they almost dropped the boxes.
"Ms. Jiang, are you telling the truth?" An old man in his fifties with black-framed glasses and a slightly hunched figure said excitedly.
Jiang Mi recognized him. He was Deng Jing, an expert from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and also an academician. He was once a classmate and a good friend of Mr. Zhang.
"Of course it's true, but the time may not be accurate. After all, we don't have many people who are good at farming here, so professional planting techniques may bring higher efficiency." Jiang Mi said with a smile.
The test results from her own space showed that the time could be shortened by nearly two-thirds. When she was in City R, she asked Miao Xi and others to plant crops outside the space and verified that the planting time could only be shortened by one-half at most. However, the conditions there were limited. Now that there were so many experts here, she still wanted to try to shorten the growth cycle of crops a little more by manpower. She didn't expect to catch up with the time in the space, but the shorter the time, the better.
Only sufficient food can bring sufficient sense of security.
The supplies in her space are all reserve food. If it is just for her family, they will never have to worry about finishing them in a lifetime. However, now that the base has been established, there will be more and more people in the future. Her food can provide for ten people or a hundred people, but what about thousands or tens of thousands of people?
Just according to the lowest standard, if an adult consumes one kilogram of food a day, that would be one thousand kilograms for one thousand people, and thirty thousand kilograms a month!
And this is just to ensure that they can stay alive, not including vegetables, fruits, etc.
The consumption is huge, so it is very important to enable them to be self-sufficient in food as soon as possible!
As for meat, Jiang Mi considered it carefully. Originally, it was because the space could not store living things from the real world, so she bought all kinds of meat. However, that meat was enough for a family of three to eat for hundreds of years, but for a large population, it probably would not last more than a year.
As for the source of meat, she remembered that the fertilized eggs she had soaked in the space lake water before leaving seemed to have signs of hatching, but she didn't know whether they actually hatched.
It would be best if they could be hatched, so that she could provide a steady supply of more meat such as chickens, ducks, and geese. As for other meat and fish, she could catch some from the lake in the space. In addition, she had also made up her mind to continue to go to the forest in the space to have a look. If she encountered any wild beasts that could be tamed and raised, she would get them and raise them!
She had these ideas a long time ago, so when facing Elder Deng, she specifically reminded him: "Elder Deng, these are all temporary now. When we have enough manpower, we will need your leadership to open up areas where we can grow rice and wheat. By then, perhaps the one-season rice crop can be easily achieved as a three-season rice crop, and we will never lack food again."
Mr. Deng's eyes were red with excitement. He took off his glasses and wiped the tears from his eyes. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely work hard to realize this plan! Don't worry, Miss Jiang!"
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Deng to take care of it. This place will be handed over to you to manage from now on." Jiang Mi said with a smile.
Mr. Deng nodded repeatedly. He was so excited that he was choked with sobs. He could not say anything except the word "good".
"Okay, everyone, work hard. We'll give you an extra meal tonight!" Jiang Mi clapped her hands, said hello, and left. She had to go see how Mr. Zhang and Yuan Fuxiang were doing.
When I reached the fifth floor and found the room where Mr. Zhang and the others were, I pushed the door open and saw Jiang Xun sitting by the window, while Mr. Zhang and Yuan Fuxiang were still sleeping.
"Brother, how are you? Still no signs of waking up?"
Jiang Xun put down the book in his hand and looked at Yuan Fuxiang, "He should be close, but Mr. Zhang is not sure yet."
Jiang Mi walked to Yuan Fuxiang's bed and observed him carefully. She found that although his eyes were closed, his eyeballs under his eyelids were unusually active and kept moving, and his skin color was also normal.
"Brother, can you operate an excavator?" Jiang Mi stood up and stopped looking at him, and turned to ask Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
Jiang Mi had a headache. The soil she dug could only fill half of the space, and there was still half left.
"Hey, brother, you continue to watch here. I'm going back to the space to dig the soil." Jiang Mi pursed his lips and said softly, then flashed into the space.
Why can I only go in by myself?
Jiang Mi was swinging the hoe vigorously while thinking about how to let other people in, but he couldn't think of anything.
Because her understanding of the space was very limited. She obtained the space in her previous life three months before her death. Apart from getting water from the space, she had never explored it much. Occasionally, she would catch one or two wild beasts wandering near the space lake, but it took a lot of effort to catch one and bring it out to improve everyone's food.
In addition, I have to run around with the team every day, so I don’t have time to explore the space.
When the digging was almost done, Jiang Mi stood up and wiped the sweat off her face. She had only worn a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts when working in the space, which was convenient and practical. Now her upper body was soaked with sweat and sticking to her body, which was very uncomfortable. Jiang Mi fetched a basin of water and simply washed herself, then changed into a close-fitting tactical suit. Just as she zipped up her clothes, her fingers accidentally touched the pendant hanging around her neck, and her heart suddenly moved.
She had dripped blood on it to gain the right to use the space. Obviously, she could not dominate this space. What if she let her brother try to drip blood on it as well? (End of this chapter)
