Zhao Yun looked at the picture and wanted to ask Qiao Xuejun about the details: "What is the use of the climbing things in this place? Can they be cut down?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Ask Professor An."
Zhao Yun took the drawings to Professor An again. Professor An looked at them carefully and began to explain and discuss the uses of the functional areas with Zhao Yun.
The two were discussing seriously and she couldn't get a word in.
Qiao Xuejun remembered something and moved to Zhao Xian's desk, asking him to pay attention: "Lord."
Zhao Xian: "Hmm?"
Qiao Xuejun whispered, "When I came here just now, I saw Huo Antu and Shen Xingtang."
Zhao Xian: "Then? What are they doing?"
Of course Zhao Xian knew what they were doing. Shen Xingtang tried to cause trouble and was simply thrown into the confinement room.
Seeing Zhao Xian's attention, Qiao Xuejun immediately complained: "They are encouraging people to leave the base. They must have bad intentions."
Zhao Xian started chatting with her: "Is there such a thing?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes, yes, it was in the front hall, in plain sight of everyone, everyone saw it." But she was not the one making the accusation.
Seeing that she was still a little anxious, Zhao Xian stopped teasing her: "It doesn't matter. Shen Xingtang's house has been demolished, and he is just a piece of trash."
Qiao Xuejun was surprised: "Tear it down...?"
"How was it demolished? The house seemed very solid. It didn't even crack after falling from the mountain." That is the product of an advanced system.
Zhao Yun heard it over there and interrupted, "That house is pretty solid, but we can dismantle it with planes and cannons, so it's almost the same with a house." The construction method is a little different from that of ordinary shelters, but you'll understand it after some research.
Zhao Xian: "Just a good idea to build a zoo."
Qiao Xuejun had a subtle look on her face: “——That’s good.” You are worthy of being me, Zhao Xian.
When they first met, she paid 600 yuan to buy ground film, and Zhao Xian took the 600 yuan without batting an eyelid. Now that he has saved Shen Xingtang, he is willing to demolish her house as a reward.
However, Qiao Xuejun still boldly reminded: "I don't know what their intentions are. They are not at peace at all. Why don't we find a way to control them?"
What she said was a bit too much. After all, this was all Zhao Xian's business, and she was not the one who was meddling in it. But when she thought of what the system had said about Zhao Xian's ending, she couldn't just ignore it.
Zhao Xian looked at her straight in the eyes and raised the corner of his mouth: "Teacher Qiao and I are in tune with each other."
Qiao Xuejun was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what Zhao Xian meant: "Is he really locked up?"
Zhao Xian: "Teacher Qiao, if you want to tell me anything or want me to do anything in the future, just tell me directly."
He discovered her restraint and knew her scruples.
"I will seriously consider what Teacher Qiao says." He paused and smiled: "After all, we have a signed relationship."
Qiao Xuejun didn't think too much about it and praised: "Lord, you are really wise."
Zhao Xian: "...Thank you very much. I'm really sorry that Teacher Qiao has taken so much trouble."
"No worries." Qiao Xuejun opened the notebook he had put away before and pushed it in front of Zhao Xian. "Lord, let me report to you. These are some of the characteristics of the new plant purple flower that I recorded. It seems to be growing well. It is very similar to the current purple flower Cassia, but there are obvious differences. I suspect that this is an ancient plant that survived some cold period. Now the conditions are suitable, so they are revived."
This is not a fantasy. For example, the seeds of Arctic willow from the Ice Age were successfully revived, which was 30,000 years ago.
Qiao Xuejun reported clearly: "Currently, 21 plants have been transplanted. We are still studying their potential value. I will report to you when there are results."
Zhao Xian: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qiao. Please be careful when you go back and forth."
Qiao Xuejun nodded and said, "Now let's talk about cotton planting."
Using zoo exhibits to enhance the emotional level of the survivors in the base is only a short-term way to entertain the brain. To completely solve emotional problems, one still needs a sense of happiness in life - to have enough food and warm clothes.
She has already taken care of the food problem, now the only issue is keeping warm.
Before she officially said it, she sighed: "Cotton requires more meticulous care. It is different from growing potatoes. Its yield is very dependent on temperature and light. The cost of planting is high."
It was ok to plant one kind of crops in her fertile fields in the shelter, but it was completely unable to adapt to the current living environment, so the yield was still limited by the system conditions. This ran counter to her original intention.
She wants to plant plants that are adapted to the current climate and can be easily grown.
This kind of thing is suitable for the end of the world, not for her to grow it alone in her home.
After all, there were only 2,000 people in the base right now, and she and her teammates could grow it at home and supply it. But what about the future? The system's task was to expand to 10,000 people.
In the future, there will be another 20,000 or 50,000 people... Will the food and accommodation for so many people also have to be provided secretly in the shelter?
A shelter is not a space. Its expansion is very noticeable. If there is an extra acre of land, it will be so obvious that it cannot be covered.
"What I hope is that we can find some cold-resistant crops and cross them with cotton to develop cotton's cold tolerance."
The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has achieved this using genetic technology.
"Unfortunately, judging from the characteristics of the purple flower discovered so far, it belongs to the Leguminosae family, just like the purple flowered Cassia, and the probability of hybridization with cotton in the Malvaceae family is very low. With the current level of technology, the possibility of hybridization is almost zero."
When Zhao Xian heard this, his expression became very serious.
After all, Zhao Xian was not a farmer like her, so there was no point in talking too deeply. Qiao Xuejun gave a direct conclusion: "The search for plants must continue. Lord, please take care of it."
Zhao Xian: “Got it.”
Zhao Yun and Professor An had been discussing for a while, and now they called Qiao Xuejun to discuss the construction period issue.
After the discussion, Qiao Xuejun packed up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she asked Zhao Xian for cotton seeds. No matter what, she had to plant them first.
Qiao Xuejun also went to see tailor Li.
"Sister Li, I want to ask, how many kilograms of cotton are needed to make a cotton coat?"
Cotton planting depends on the production area, environment and variety. For example, the high-yield varieties in Xinjiang can produce about 1,200 kilograms per mu. Other regions may have less than half of this.
Tailor Li knew that Qiao Xuejun could farm, so he was still excited to discuss this issue, so he asked carefully, "Lint?"
Sister Li said: "If it is lint, we now use 3 catties of cotton to make one piece. If the conditions are good, 4 catties is better."
Lint cotton refers to the pure cotton fiber after the cotton is picked and the seeds are removed.
If the situation is good, 1,200 kilograms can produce 400 kilograms of lint cotton.
She has temperature control in the fertile fields of the shelter, and also controls the light. Assuming 400 kilograms of lint cotton, each using 4 kilograms of material, she can make 100 cotton-padded jackets.
And pants, other clothes, gloves, scarves, all of these require cotton.
After building a zoo and moving the animals out, one acre of land will be freed up, but one acre of land is definitely not enough for planting crops.
