Chapter 446 Harvest Season
Not only that house, but over the following days, people also moved into the surrounding habitable houses one after another.
And when they looked down from the upper floors, they found that most of those people were sent here by soldiers.
Does this mean that the authorities have also arranged for people to live in nearby areas?
Han Ying and her friends had no choice but to accept this, after all, the houses nearby did not belong to them.
If others want to come and live here, they can’t stop them.
But from this day on, everyone became more vigilant.
Although they have high walls, they cannot rest assured.
There are people living nearby, and everyone is on guard while living their comfortable lives.
Compared to other people outside, the three families in Lu Yuan's building really live a much better life.
Lei Minghu selected a good number of steel bars from those that Han Ying and others bought from the government.
After tinkering with it for more than ten days, I made three sets of steel armor suits according to the soft armor style sold in the official mall, which saved me 300,000 points directly.
But Lei Minghu still has to rely on crutches to walk, so he asked Qin Qinghai to bring it to them.
When they saw the battle suit, both Han Ying and Lu Yuan were shocked.
It looks a bit ugly, but it gives a sense of safety and is perfectly suitable for protecting against wind blades from outside.
Besides being ugly, its only drawback is that it is too heavy.
Han Ying picked up the set, which weighed about fifty or sixty kilograms.
They both tried it and found that the mobility of their arms was not restricted and they could move freely, but they could not lift them high and could only lift them to about 90 degrees.
But this is already very impressive.
Three families each with one set.
These days, Qin Qinghai and his men wore this battle suit to fetch water from the yard.
The water that was pumped up froze into ice cubes, and there would be two large buckets of ice cubes at the door of Han Ying’s third floor every day.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan wanted to go down to help fetch water, but were rejected by Qin Qinghai and the others.
They are not needed for such a small matter.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan did not insist, but they would give each of the two families a bottle of nutrient solution made from mutated seafood mushroom juice every once in a while.
With the nutrient solution, the potatoes and corn of both families grew very well.
In just about a month, the corn has filled with grain and potatoes have grown under the potato seedlings.
At this rate, we will be able to harvest in less than half a month.
But according to Han Ying, potatoes can be allowed to grow for a few more days, so that the potatoes dug out will be more resistant to hunger and can produce seeds.
If they don't keep the seeds for planting, they can also sell them to her.
Crops that originally took three or four months to grow can now be harvested in about one and a half months with the irrigation of nutrient solution.
This also includes the more than 30 black tomatoes.
The yield of black tomatoes is also good, but the plants grow exceptionally tall, more than twice as large as ordinary tomatoes.
After the fruit is produced, you need to use a wooden stick to support it from the bottom, otherwise the branches will easily be broken.
The yield of the mutant corn also made Han Ying feel incredible.
Ordinary corn can only produce two or three cobs. If there are more, they will become empty cobs.
But the mutant corn actually produced five or six corn cobs, and Lu Yuan broke open the bottom cob and saw that it was full of corn kernels.
The high output surprised both of them.
So when Han Ying looked at the ten tons of mutant corn seeds in the space, her face was full of smiles.
She now has about 12 tons of mutant corn seeds.
Previously, 16 tons of corn seeds were exchanged for ice, and together with the ice that was exchanged several times before, the total amount was about 18 tons.
Han Ying sold 6 tons of it to Professor Li in exchange for four sets of soft armor, a truckload of coconut bricks, and a bag of about 500 new sweet potato seeds.
The new type of sweet potato, like potatoes, is propagated by seeds rather than sweet potato vines.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan have seen the mutant seafood mushrooms grown by Professor Li, and now more than 30 pots have been grown.
Professor Li has started picking them one after another, blending them into juice and then mixing them into nutrient solution for watering.
Professor Li was not surprised at all when he heard Lu Yuan say that the corn they planted was ready to be harvested.
Not to mention that the two of them started planting earlier than here on the farm.
The mutated seafood mushrooms they have in their hands alone can make that batch of corn mature more than twice as early.
Lu Yuan promised to sell two-thirds of the picked corn to the base mall, in exchange for a lot of points and some eggs, pork and fish.
Han Ying naturally had no shortage of these things, but she couldn't eat them openly.
Now that they have exchanged so much and the weather is so cold, it is easy to preserve. If they take it out to eat at gatherings or other activities in the future, there will be something to explain.
Although she said she would take two-thirds of the corn cobs, Han Ying actually took out more than two thousand kilograms from the space and mixed them in.
The fifth generation of mutant corn looked exactly like ordinary corn and could no longer reproduce.
Therefore, the extra things Han Ying took out from the space would not arouse suspicion.
In addition to selling it to the base shopping mall, he also exchanged 5,000 kilograms with Scar Wei for a batch of meteorites.
Scar Wei never expected that the two people who had always bought dried corn kernels from him would one day sell him fresh corn cobs.
Scar Wei, who realized something, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
He pointed at Han Ying and Lu Yuan, unable to speak clearly: "Did you grow them with the corn you bought from me?"
The two did not answer Scar Wei's words, but just looked at him with a smile.
Seeing the expressions of these two people, how could Scar Wei not understand?
Suddenly, one of his palms turned red from his slapping.
He originally wanted to slap his thigh, but for a moment he forgot that he was wearing their homemade iron protective clothing. He missed the thigh and ended up slapping his palm red.
But Scar Wei soon realized that even if the corn cobs were grown using the corn seeds he bought from him, the timing didn't seem to match.
It had been less than two months since they first bought corn kernels from him. How did they grow them in such a short time?
"The nutrient solution was developed by the base's research institute. It can help us harvest at least twice as fast. We can get it. Do you want it?"
Lu Yuan blinked at Scar Wei.
The reason why they let Scar Wei know now that his corn kernels could be successfully used to grow corn was because they wanted to sell him the nutrient solution made from the juice of the mutated seafood mushroom.
In the past month, the mutant seafood mushrooms have multiplied to nearly two acres of land. If Han Ying hadn't been diligent in picking them every day, the growth rate would have been doubled.
