This means that to deal with large mutants, you need a lot of purple flowers.
Qiao Xuejun didn't give up and asked, "Is there no possibility of using it as feed?"
She has more and more rabbits, which reproduce uncontrollably. Now there are about two hundred of them, and they all need to eat grass.
The problem is that with the catastrophe of mutant creatures, more and more people will come to the First Base, and the rabbit production cannot be reduced. They have to continue to reproduce in order to provide rabbit fur.
In the past, potato leaves and corn stalks were still available, but they are becoming increasingly scarce.
Rabbits’ food cannot be skimped on. If a rabbit senses that food is scarce, the mother rabbit may even recycle energy due to survival pressure - directly eating the baby rabbits she has given birth to.
Although even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, in the animal world, not only rabbits, but also typical hamsters and pigs have this behavior. In order to increase the overall survival rate, they directly eat their young when the environment is harsh.
If purple flowers could be used as feed, she wouldn't have to worry about it.
Professor An shook his head: "I'm afraid not. This toxin takes effect quickly and has a great impact. As feed, it will affect the growth and development of animals. Moreover, as feed, it has to be processed manually, which also poses a great risk to humans."
Qiao Xuejun: "Everything seemed fine when I was planting."
The large patch of grass in front of her door was all planted by her. However, she also took precautions because she was wary and knew that the hair might be poisonous.
Professor An: "As long as you don't touch the fluff, you'll be fine."
It's no use as feed.
After learning about the situation from Professor An, Qiao Xuejun and Zhao Xian came out again.
Zhao Xian asked her: "What do you think?"
Qiao Xuejun: "I'm thinking about growing some other crops. Rabbit feed is in short supply. But the shelter is all planted with cotton, so there's no land left for now. I don't know what the sea blanket vegetables in the sea fort are made of, and whether rabbits can eat them."
Zhao Xian heard her say that and said helplessly: "I'm asking about Zihua."
Before Qiao Xuejun could answer, Zhao Xian said, "Next to the blue oil refining room and the biogas pool is the distillation and water purification room, which is dedicated to collecting and distilling daily water."
Qiao Xuejun nodded. Why did you suddenly say this?
Zhao Xian continued, "Because the water purification room and the blue oil refining room both use furnaces on a daily basis, the temperature is high, and the temperature of the corresponding mountain is also relatively high."
Qiao Xuejun reacted after hearing this: "Can I try to grow something in a place with a higher temperature?"
Zhao Xian: "The plum trees that have bloomed are near the outside of the blue oil refining room."
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay, I'll try."
The first base is located in a hollowed-out cave. There is a fire burning inside the cave. The temperature is high near the stove outside the mountain. Maybe we can try to grow something there.
Grow something to feed the rabbits, and the rabbits' wool can be used to make warm clothing.
Qiao Xuejun thought about it and became a little worried: "Growing things outside... without any protection." It is not enough to just know how to plant, there must also be matching protective measures.
Zhao Xian: "Are you afraid of being stolen?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded. She would plant the crops, but if she couldn't harvest them, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Zhao Xian said: "You plant first, if the land is good, I will make the arrangements."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Okay."
"By the way," Qiao Xuejun recalled the question Zhao Xian asked her at the beginning, "You said purple flowers? Are you planning to let me plant them on a large scale?"
She could hear that Zhao Xian had high hopes that the purple flower toxin could resist mutants, and he also asked Professor An if it could be used against large mutants.
If the purple flower toxin is useful and can resist mutants without bloodshed, there is no need to waste too much manpower in fighting.
There is not much benefit in fighting mutants. Keeping people on the production line can create more value.
Zhao Xian took Qiao Xuejun into his office, took out a document from the drawer, opened it, and found a hand-drawn map.
It is a map of this area, which clearly marks the location and size of the mountains and the sea.
Qiao Xuejun: "Was this painted by Zhao Yun?" It was obvious at a glance that it was painted very professionally.
Zhao Xian was about to say something, but was interrupted by Qiao Xuejun's words. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Teacher Qiao, can't I draw this?"
Qiao Xuejun was confused after hearing this, so she immediately said, "The Lord's drawing ability is very strong, and he is not inferior to professionals like Zhao Yun. You are worthy of it."
Zhao Xian smiled.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the map. This area was the most suitable mountain for living nearby. Initially, there were a total of 8 mountains suitable for living. Later, due to avalanches, several mountains were forced to be relocated.
Currently, there are only three mountains where people still live.
Hongmei Mountain, Qingli Mountain, and the Xiangpao Slope behind Qingli Mountain.
He spread the map on the table and ran his finger over it: "These three mountains are currently worth living in. I hope you can plant purple flowers around the periphery of these three mountains to form a protective belt as an outer defense line."
Qiao Xuejun: "Use plants as a defense line, in case it gets burned?"
Zhao Xian: "It's just part of the outer defense line."
Qiao Xuejun nodded and leaned over to look at the map. The three mountains were Red Plum, Green Pear and Dumb Cannon.
Qiao Xuejun was surprised: "All?"
Zhao Xian: “All.”
It's no wonder that Qiao Xuejun was surprised. The area covered by these three mountains is very large. Even if all the purple flowers that Qiao Xuejun has now are planted, they can't even fill one thousandth of the distance.
Seeing her looking at the map without saying anything, Zhao Xian asked, "Is it difficult?"
Qiao Xuejun pondered for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "It's not difficult, I can do it. But this amount of planting will take time to divide the purple flowers first. It will take a week to make sure there are enough purple flower seedlings, according to the breeding speed of purple flowers. Also, it may be very slow for me to plant them alone."
She had just roughly calculated that she needed to plant flowers around the foot of the three mountains. Hongmei Mountain had the largest area, with a circumference of about 5 kilometers, Qingli Mountain was 3 kilometers, and Yapao Mountain was about the same as Qingli Mountain. In total, a circular road of almost 10 kilometers would be planted with purple flowers.
That is 10,000 meters.
Purple flowers are tall, with one plant occupying one meter. If planted in a single row, 10,000 plants would be needed.
Now, there are only 200 plants at most in front of her house. It's a big difference.
But there is a way. There are still four or five hundred purple flowers in the cave where they were discovered. They can all be transplanted out, and the mature purple flowers can also be divided.
One plant can be divided into 5 to 8 plants, which can cover about half a circle. After it grows for a week, it can be divided again.
You can plant a single row first, and then gradually add double rows, four rows, or five rows.
It's a physical job anyway.
Zhao Xian: "I won't leave you alone. Just tell me when you need someone. I'll give you as much as you want."
·
After receiving the order from Zhao Xian, Qiao Xuejun acted quickly. She started dividing the purple flowers after returning home.
She followed the procedure and first planted the purple flower divisions at the entrance of the shelter. When it was time to plant them, she dug them out of the shelter and pushed them to the designated location with a cart. She then began planting around the bottom of the mountain.
She tried it on her own first and figured out the most convenient planting method.
After figuring it out, she began to ask Zhao Xian for people to promote this planting method and lead the survivors to start planting.
