The long ridges are all planted with cotton. Qiao Xuejun planted them relatively densely. Normally, in order to make cotton grow better, it needs to be planted sparsely, that is, the spacing is relatively wide, which is also convenient for thinning out later, otherwise it will affect the yield.
But Qiao Xuejun manages the plants meticulously. She will trim off the extra branches and provide fixed multi-angle artificial lighting, so there is no need to worry about overcrowding affecting light and limiting growth. Therefore, the plants can be planted a little more densely, so that more plants can be planted and the yield can be increased.
Zhao Linlin followed Qiao Xuejun and looked at the cotton field: "When will it sprout?"
Qiao Xuejun: “About 10 days.”
Zhao Linlin: "When can we harvest?"
Qiao Xuejun: "It's been half a year."
Zhao Linlin whispered: "I heard someone died of cold again."
Qiao Xuejun was stunned: "Where did you hear that?"
Zhao Linlin: "Inside the radio station, you were busy in the fields yesterday. Kuang Shen and I heard that many people froze to death again. The weather was too cold."
Qiao Xuejun: “Where are you talking about?” If someone died in the First Base, the system would report it to her directly. She didn’t even know about it, so it probably didn’t happen.
Zhao Linlin finally realized: "I don't think he said where."
Zhao Linlin seemed to remember something and said, "Could it be that Haibao? Now people from Haibao have appeared in the radio station."
Unlike radio stations, radio communication has a very high requirement for distance. If people from Haibao appear on the radio station now, it means that they have at least reached Gongzhou.
It’s even not far from the first base.
Zhao Xian has been going out a lot recently, which might be related to this incident. But according to the information the system told her, Haibao didn't look like it was freezing cold.
System: "They live on the sea, and there is a lot of blue oil. It is impossible for them to freeze to death."
The system reminded: "Host, according to the original book's plot, the Sea Fort has also expanded in Gongzhou. It is in a competitive relationship with the villains, and a cooperative relationship with the hero and heroine."
expansion?
Since it is an expansion, it will definitely attract people. When they came to Gongzhou, the largest population gathering area was the first base.
It is most convenient to compete with the first base for people.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the cotton field that had not yet sprouted. If the people in the first base wanted to leave now, it was because they were not warm enough.
It will take another half a month to harvest the remaining 14 acres of potatoes.
By then, we will have to switch to growing cotton.
Cotton is a labor-intensive crop that requires a large amount of labor input. Coupled with meticulous management, it is very energy-consuming and physically demanding.
Normally, one person grows cotton without any machinery. The diligent cotton farmers she has seen can normally manage seven or eight acres of land, which is quite hard work.
It would be easier to use machines. She bought a small hand-held seeder and a tiller, which could be used after some adjustments.
But harvesting is not the same as it requires special cotton harvesting machines. Without them, it can only be done manually.
But that was half a year later.
It is too late for these cottons to mature before the arrival of the sea fort.
Can the current food supply and rabbit fur keep the survivors in the base?
