Liu Qianqian said with a smile, "Yes! It's really great! There's everything – delicious food, great drinks, fun activities! And lots of people too!"
At this point, her smile widened, and she continued, "Also, those evolved behemoths were so much fun. I never expected Fuxing City to have so many mutated behemoths."
Peng Gang laughed heartily and said, "Of course! The leader's other goddaughter, Yan Yan, is busy outside right now. Once she's done, you'll have more in common to talk about! You'll also see more mutated giant beasts!"
Liu Qianqian nodded with anticipation in her eyes and said, "Yes, that's what they told me too. I'm sure Sister Yan Yan will like the cats and dogs I raise."
Just then, a staff officer walked in excitedly, "Brigade Commander, Deputy Brigade Commander, I have some great news!"
Peng Gang and Tan Xiong exchanged a glance.
What's going on today? One piece of good news after another?
Peng Gang took a deep breath and asked, "What good news? Just say it! Don't keep me in suspense!"
"According to Wang Bufan, the company commander of the first reconnaissance company, they rescued two survivors, a married couple. The man is a PhD in agronomy! He..."
Peng Gang was initially quite calm.
When he heard about the "high-yield mutant sweet potato," Peng Gang's usually composed face showed obvious emotion for the first time.
He was well aware of the value of this high-yield mutant sweet potato.
As a high-ranking official, he knew this.
Since the heavy rain that caused the plants to mutate, the mutated plants have grown wildly.
Many plants that were grown before the disaster simply couldn't compete with these mutated plants.
It is very difficult to make them thrive.
A lot of manpower is needed to clear the mutated plants from the ground every day just to barely ensure the growth of these ordinary vegetables and fruits.
Unless, of course, these fruits and vegetables themselves can also mutate.
Otherwise, they might be gradually phased out.
Mutation is a matter of luck.
Wild plants often have a high chance of mutation.
Those high-quality seeds that have been improved through artificial intervention now have a very low mutation rate!
It could even be said that less than one in ten thousand survives.
Even now, the Ministry of Agriculture has only found a few varieties of vegetables that have mutated and can adapt to the current environment.
But they can only be eaten as vegetables, not as a staple food in the future.
Moreover, their yield is far less than that of wild mutant plants, so they can only be supplied to military personnel and other departments.
Most people can only eat vegetables made from wild, mutated plants.
However, most wild mutant plants have another problem.
The taste was very average, even downright unpalatable.
The few dishes that tasted better were all supplied to the upper management.
The Ministry of Agriculture has been trying to find a solution to this problem.
Now, with this high-yield mutant sweet potato, the leaves can be used as a vegetable, and the sweet potato itself can be used as a staple food.
Moreover, it tastes good, and the fruit can be used as a snack or even made into candy.
It's practically the perfect mutant plant!
The Ministry of Agriculture must be laughing its head off when it hears this news!
When they heard that there were "several hundred docile mutant chickens that can be raised," Peng Gang and Tan Xiong were so shocked that they stood up!
Peng Gang's eyes flashed with excitement as he exclaimed, "Are you sure you have hundreds of docile mutant chickens that you can raise?!"
The staff officer nodded vigorously, excitedly saying, "Brigade Commander, that's exactly what Company Commander Wang said! He also said that these mutant hens can lay two to three eggs a day, each slightly smaller than an ostrich egg! Although the hatching rate is less than 50%, the mutant eggs that don't hatch are still edible, and they taste much better than regular eggs!"
"In addition, Zhou Ming said that because they didn't have enough space, they only raised a few hundred. If we didn't have to worry about space and food supply, it would only be a matter of time before they could raise tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them!"
"The only downside is that these mutant chickens have a big appetite, needing to eat a lot of mutant plants every day! Unlike the chickens before the apocalypse, they could just eat whatever they wanted every day."
Hearing the staff officer's words, Peng Gang and Tan Xiong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Compared to mutated sweet potatoes, these mutated chickens are even more amazing!
Eggs!
Fresh chicken!
It's a mutated version!
God knows how long it's been since they've eaten this kind of food!
Especially eggs.
More than a year ago, all the eggs that could be found were already rotten!
Moreover, meat products like cured meat will eventually run out.
The number of people involved in the Huaxia Fuxing project has now exceeded one million.
Even if each person only eats an ounce or two of meat a day, that would still consume 100,000 jin!
That's a full 50 tons!
This is a terrifying number!
If we can breed this mutant chicken, we can also breed the mutant pig that we are currently working hard to breed.
With the rejuvenation of China, we will no longer have to worry about eating meat!
If we also include the evolved meat obtained by the hunting team, the food scene in China's revival is absolutely diverse!
Food is the most important thing for people. If the food problem is completely solved, what do other problems matter?!
Peng Gang slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "After all, they are mutated chickens, so it's normal for them to eat! As long as they can lay eggs and grow fat quickly, those are all advantages! That kid Wang Bufan has done a great job again this time!"
Then, Peng Gang said impatiently, "You guys continue the meeting and discuss it. I'll lead the team to bring back all those mutated sweet potatoes and mutated chickens!"
Tan Xiong's eyes widened, and he said defiantly, "Old Peng, I have to go too! How can such a big event be without me!"
Inside the makeshift meeting room, everyone else was also watching Peng Gang expectantly.
