Chapter 186 Cactus Garden
Han Ying ignored the shocked expressions of those people and calmly opened the door to the corridor.
"Professor Li, there's no rush to see the cactus now. You must have been waiting outside for a long time. Come in and have a drink of water first."
The cactus has to wait for Han Ying to go up and take it out from the space, so we have to wait for a while.
Moreover, he saw that these four men were all sweating profusely and fanning themselves desperately with their hands, but it seemed to be of no use.
The most important thing is that the water they brought seems to have been finished, which is very dangerous.
"Xiao Lu, why are you all wearing long sleeves when it's so hot? It's really hot to death..."
A middle-aged man standing next to Professor Li only then noticed that Lu Yuan and the little girl were still wearing long pants and long sleeves.
"Haven't you noticed? There seem to be a lot more mosquitoes outside. I went out wearing short sleeves a few days ago and was bitten so much that I couldn't stand it. I had no choice but to wear long sleeves when I went out today."
Lu Yuan opened the door of his room 2703 and let the four people in.
Then he took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator and poured a glass for each person.
"Ice? Professor Li, it's actually ice water!"
The youngest, Wang Junan, took the cup handed to him by Lu Yuan and stood up from his chair in shock.
"What's the fuss? Can't people have solar generators?"
In fact, Professor Li discovered it just now in the corridor that there was an electric shock device installed on the door.
But the little girl closed it before opening the door.
And this floor looks like it has been vandalized.
Although the wall has been repaired, you can still see traces of being hit by tools such as hammers.
Someone must have had their eyes on this floor before, no wonder they installed a door on the stairs and the corridor.
Living outside the base is much safer.
"Xiao Lu, I've also noticed the increase in mosquitoes you just mentioned, especially at the farms. There are not only mosquitoes but also rats. I heard that a few rats bit the pigs in the pigpen and made them lame."
Professor Li also took a sip of ice water, which finally relieved the summer heat.
"Hey, I've noticed what you said. The corridor in our dormitory area is buzzing with mosquitoes all day long. It's like running a hundred meters just to get out of the door."
Wang Junan changed his seat and sat next to Professor Li.
He had actually reported the mosquito problem to his roommates, but everyone said, wasn't it the same in previous summers?
While several people in Lu Yuan's family were talking about mosquitoes, Han Ying had already gone up to the 28th floor.
She took out the pots of cactus that had been placed in the space for "conditioning".
The entire 28th floor was filled with trees, totaling two to three hundred in total.
The palms of some cacti are ready to be picked.
Before this, Han Ying and her friends had already picked off some of the palm-sized pieces.
The two of them tried it themselves. It’s okay to eat it alone, but Han Ying doesn’t like it very much. She prefers it cold.
After Han Ying came down, she knocked on Lu Yuan's door, and then the six of them went up the stairs to the 28th floor together.
Tangyuan followed Han Ying, and Wang Junan kept his eyes on Gou Zi.
Wang Junan was quite interested in this dog. None of the military dogs at the base were as spirited as this one.
I don't know how this girl is fed.
When they arrived at the 28th floor, everyone was shocked again.
This is simply a cactus garden. The entire floor is divided into 8 rooms, and each room is full of cacti.
With so many cacti planted at home, it’s no wonder that we can provide so many cactus seedlings to the farm.
The most important thing is that these cacti are growing so well. They are completely different from the lifeless ones on their farm.
"Xiao Lu, you really don't have any tricks?"
Professor Li fiddled with a pot of cactus and looked at Lu Yuan expectantly.
"Really not, but I'll let them bask in the sun once in a while, does that count?"
Lu Yuan did not lie, he did let the cactus bask in the sun every once in a while.
It's just putting it in space to dry in the sun, although I don't know if the light in the space can be considered the sun.
"Cacti are indeed light-loving plants. If we keep pampering them for fear that they will be killed by the scorching sun, we might end up harming them instead."
The sun is too strong now and most plants can't stand it.
So now all the crops on the farm use fill lights, including cacti.
Professor Li decided that after he returned, he would let the cacti bask in real sunlight for a few hours every morning when the sun just rose.
"Xiao Lu, can I buy a pot of cactus from you? Just name your price."
Although it may be related to sunlight, the soil quality may also be related, so he plans to take the potting soil back to have a look.
"Sure, Professor Li, take the pot you like back home."
Lu Yuan grows cacti just to sell them for points, but he is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss.
He doesn't want points now, but he has something more important that he wants the other party to help him with.
The most important thing is that Lu Yuan knew that Professor Li probably wanted more than just the cactus.
Probably he wanted to see what kind of soil he used, but there was no problem with the soil.
Although there was some space soil mixed in it, most of it was the nutrient soil he had stored before with some compost and sand.
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Professor Li felt a little embarrassed.
If Lu Yuan gave a direct quote, he would be able to afford it no matter how expensive it was.
The hardest thing to repay in the world is favors, especially in these last days.
"Xiao Lu, why don't you tell me first?"
Professor Li pulled Lu Yuan aside. He wanted to hear what Lu Yuan wanted first.
Lu Yuan did not keep the topic in suspense and directly said, "I heard that the base recently released a new type of mobile phone that can withstand high temperatures. I wonder when it will be available for sale?"
It is always inconvenient to not have a mobile phone or any communication equipment to the outside world.
Professor Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Yuan's words. It was not a big deal.
"You are well-informed. This is no secret. The top brass and some key personnel at the base are already equipped with this phone. It's just that it's still in the testing phase and needs improvement, so it's not sold to the public."
"Currently, even if you buy this new type of mobile phone, it is of little use because it can only be used near the base. You have to wait for the authorities to spread the signal points out before you can use it outside."
"My personal guess is that there should be news within half a month."
After hearing what Professor Li said, Lu Yuan understood.
This new type of mobile phone also existed in the previous life.
The signal points of the new mobile phones are very special and are buried underground.
Moreover, every new mobile phone is a signal transmitting point and a signal receiving point at the same time.
This is the only way to ensure smooth communication when there are very few external signal points.
Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be other people holding mobile phones next to you.
The more people around you have this phone, the better your cell phone signal will be.
In other words, the scattered signal points outside have not been buried yet, so even if you buy a mobile phone, you cannot use it outside the base.
