Chapter 159 Her clever little brain
Mu Jiu smiled, approached the two mysteriously, and whispered:
“Let them farm together.”
Fu Hengyuan almost choked, "Are you planning to expand the farm? Recruit a million people to play Jenga on the farm?"
Mu Jiu looked at him quietly without saying a word. After Fu Hengyuan finished laughing, he immediately came to his senses.
"Wait, you mean to let them reclaim land and cultivate crops outside the base!"
After Fu Hengyuan said this, he looked at Duan Ran, and then they looked at Mu Jiu together.
Mu Jiu nodded, “The temperature is rising, and the snow outside has begun to melt.
In this way, we can cultivate land and grow crops without the need for greenhouses for insulation.
No matter how well the farm is run, more than 200 acres of land is limited after all. If the land is damaged, it will not be able to feed a million people.
But if a population of one million is mobilized, even if ten people can revitalize one acre of land, it can solve big problems for the base.
If the refugees can earn points through employment, the riots at the base can also be initially resolved."
What's more, the extremely hot light will accelerate the growth of plants. Plants that originally took three or four months to bear fruit can shorten the time by half at that time.
In the end times, we have to take one step at a time; no one can hold on to everything.
If we can harvest two crops quickly before the extreme heat and water shortage.
The problem of food for refugees in the third-level resettlement areas can be greatly improved in a short period of time.
As for what happens next, we’ll talk about it later.
After all, even she herself did not live to see the end of the world until her death in her previous life, so she had to make preparations for the present now.
"So, you don't know about this doomsday notice yet."
Duan Ran took out a neatly folded piece of white paper from his pocket and placed it in front of Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu picked up the extremely arrogant notice in front of him.
Every word here came from her clever little brain, how could she not know that?
Mu Jiu glanced at Fu Hengyuan and Duan Ran's faces, but did not speak immediately.
Fu Hengyuan returned an inquiring look, seemingly thinking about something.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Duan Ran continued:
“We are here together today because of what is written on this piece of paper.
The farm is a very important part of this, so I wanted to ask you what you think about this matter.
It says here that after the extreme cold of the end of the world, there will be extreme heat.
Sunlight can produce some kind of unknown radiation to the human body, causing the skin to turn black and ulcerate, and even lead to death.
In addition, long-term extremely hot conditions will cause global water shortages and dry land, requiring base officials to prepare in advance.
If this is true, then it may not be appropriate to organize everyone to go out under the scorching sun.
Today, Hengyuan went against all odds and asked the top management of the base to provide funds and materials to improve the overall hardware facilities of the base based on the contents of this paper in preparation for the extreme heat.
This matter concerns the stability of the base's top management and the safety of the Fu family, and even more so the lives of more than one million people in the base.
But if we were to organize refugees in the third-level resettlement areas to cultivate large areas of land, that would be contrary to what we are going to do.”
Mu Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Fu Hengyuan again. Duan Ran just said that he believed and fully supported the warning information she gave against all odds.
As expected of Fu Hengyuan, facing such unfounded preview, he is the only one who dares to speak out.
Mu Jiu smiled and explained:
“In fact, there is no conflict, based on our experience in greenhouse cultivation over the past few years.
Whether it is tilling the soil, sowing, watering, fertilizing, etc., all tasks can be completed at night.
Except in the beginning when there was no base support, fires were lit every day to maintain the temperature of the greenhouse, and farmers were required to stay in the greenhouse at all times.
Later, the greenhouses that were improved with technological advances became much less troublesome.
This piece of paper says that sunlight is poisonous, but it's okay to go out when there's no sunlight.
This does not conflict with your efforts to upgrade hardware facilities in response to extreme heat disasters."
Fu Hengyuan became excited and would not miss anything that was good for the base.
“What about technology and seeds, can the farm provide them?
This is a large project involving millions of people, and it is not as easy to operate as imagined.
Most of the people in the base are city dwellers who have no experience in farming and may not even be able to tell the difference between leeks and wheat.
Let them farm, I’m afraid…”
When Fu Hengyuan asked this question, his brows were slightly frowned. At least he himself really didn't understand this matter.
However, centralized planting is indeed a good idea, and if successful it will be of great help to the base.
Because all problems become more serious as time goes by in the end times, and they become more difficult to solve.
“You said it’s the majority, but there are still a few people who know how to grow plants. Even if they grew flowers and plants before the end of the world, it’s good.
If I gather all these people together, I can ask Lou Nan to spend half a day giving them a lesson.
The remuneration for the lectures is not much, but it’s acceptable. Just don’t mistreat our farm’s planting experts.
Lou Nan has rich experience in teaching. Before each planting season, she will give everyone a lesson.
These people have a foundation and will learn faster.
In addition, since everyone grows the same or two crops, there are not many knowledge points and it is not difficult to learn.
After teaching them, we hired them as small leaders in planting, responsible for teaching and managing planting matters.
Please ask each of them to bring a team of people with strong learning and communication skills, and spend double the time teaching the team members the corresponding knowledge points.
By analogy, the planting personnel are divided into three levels.
The experienced ones serve as guides, the less experienced ones serve as managers and patrollers, and the rest farm the land.
Farming is related to their own survival. Knowing this, I believe that anyone with a normal mind will do their job seriously.
As for seeds, there are as many as you need in the underground warehouse of this building.
But remember to transfer your points to the base for exchange! Our farm won’t give them away for free!”
When Mu Jiu said this, the two men stared at her, and every time she came up with some unexpected opinions.
For example, this time, they were only thinking about how to avoid risks, but Mu Jiu was thinking about how to take the initiative to attack.
It was similar to her clever look when she carried a cannon to bombard polar wolves and burned polar bears with fire during the northward movement.
"Okay." The two men spoke at the same time, and then they looked at each other.
Duan Ran was the executive officer of this matter. He said solemnly:
“When I get back later, I’ll have someone draw up a recruitment plan and publish it to find people with planting experience.
I will also transfer the remuneration for inviting the expert and the cost of seeds to the farm account as soon as possible.
Do you have any different ideas about base construction?"
Mu Jiu wanted to laugh. If she had so many thoughts and ideas, this base would be hers.
However, she would not be vague about what she had to say. After all, the construction of the base was inextricably linked to her, and she had to live here. A better environment would be beneficial to her.
“To be honest, I think if the situation becomes extremely hot as described in the trailer,
The base could consider moving into the mountains, where it would be cooler.
After all, when the weather is cold, you can keep warm by roasting a fire and stay in the small house at the base.
But it won’t work in hot weather. Without cooling equipment, the small house will probably be as hot as an oven.”
Mu Jiu sighed casually.
What she said was true. In her previous life, she lived in a third-level resettlement area.
The small steamer that holds dozens of people in one room is filled with steam and stinking smell all day long.
It's as uncomfortable as falling into a fermenting pit of manure.
As a result, the crime rate is exceptionally high, and everyone has extremely hot tempers and can be easily ignited.
The key is that I can't go out during the day, and I dare not even open the tiny windows for ventilation and heat dissipation, for fear that a little light will come in and give me black blisters.
Therefore, many people died from the sun and rot, and many died from the heat.
