Chapter 185: Poisonous Mushroom Salad with Red Nematode Eggs
Jingshu took photos of the RV inside and out, measured the data with a ruler, and recorded them, so that she could record the parameters needed for future modifications and any ideas she had.
Jingshu and her father first went into the salt water pool to filter out the red nematodes on their bodies, and then went into the warm villa to take a bath. Jingshu put on cotton clothes and drank hot brown sugar, wolfberry and ginger soup, and then she felt like she was coming back to life.
She couldn't imagine how those people outside survived such weather, nor did she dare to think about how they managed to survive in their previous life.
The luggage that was brought back was placed in the yard, and the fat chicken ate up all the places where there were red nematodes. It is worth mentioning that the fat chicken's IQ has increased a bit.
Since the first time it was crawled with red nematodes, it was scared to the point of peeing. After that, after seeing Jingshu enter the salt pool, the red nematodes on her body disappeared. Every time it was entangled by red nematodes, it would go in and soak in it.
Grandma Jing and Ma Jing were packing up the luggage that had been soaked in water. Grandma Jing was cursing as she packed, feeling sad about some of the broken bowls and pots, but most of them were still usable and just needed to be washed. Now there was no shortage of water, and the super filter in Jingshu's house played a key role.
What flows out of other people's taps are red nematodes, but what flows out of Jingshu's taps is filtered pure water.
It just needs to be cleaned frequently. Just after taking a shower, Jing's father put on his raincoat and went to each opening to clean the red nematodes, otherwise the water would be blocked by red nematodes.
Jingshu remembers that the vegetable yield was low in the first year due to water shortage.
The second year we couldn't produce a lot of vegetables because of the red nematode eggs, but at least there was enough rain the second year so we could eat a variety of mushrooms. Ahem, even mushrooms covered with worm eggs are still vegetables.
This was really one of the years with better food in the last ten years of the apocalypse. Compared to the rotten food and corpse worms that came later, red nematodes really had no disadvantages except that they were hard to chew and like rubber bands, and could easily get stuck between teeth and be difficult to pull out, or get stuck in the throat and be difficult to swallow.
Based on Jingshu's experience of living in the apocalypse for ten years, if she were to rank these foods, she would think that the maggots from the first year are the most delicious and richest in protein, followed by red nematodes, which have no taste but are filling and have the biggest advantage of being plentiful and available to eat at any time.
So if anyone can grow some garlic sprouts and green onions this year, their neighbors will be envious.
While the government was arranging housing for millions of people, it also considered planting a batch of vegetables while there was plenty of water. At noon, Jing's mother also received a notice. When everyone thought that they could finally grow some food, the red nematode showed that it was not that simple.
Crops cannot be grown in rainwater that has not been filtered out of red nematodes!
Because red nematodes are also pests, their mouthparts can eat everything. They have been absorbing nutrients from all around them before they grow up, and they have been mating after they grow up.
In her previous life, Jingshu also learned from the news that red nematodes actually evolved from microorganisms, which are equivalent to small bacteria and trace elements; so their eggs can also be considered a kind of bacterial microorganism that will absorb all life elements around them.
So, when the government and people all over the world ignited their full hope for replanting, the end of the world slapped them hard in the face.
In the absence of sunlight, simulated sunlight can be used to replace photosynthesis.
However, when the government resumed planting crops, they found that the crops did not sprout for many days, and even if they sprouted, they were quickly eaten up. Then they found extremely tiny insect eggs on these dead crops, which would grow into red nematodes after a few days.
People who are planning to grow their own crops at home have also discovered this problem. At this time, everyone will use cotton cloth, gauze and various other methods to dry out the red nematodes.
But it still has no effect because it cannot filter out the red nematode eggs at all.
Insect eggs are extremely small bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye.
At this time, a more high-tech filter is needed. A filter that can filter out microbial elements must be used to filter out red nematodes.
There weren't many filters like this in Wucheng, and they were all flooded in the city center. Later, the government collected some, which finally helped.
The ultrafiltration filter is key to determining how much vegetables you will have in the coming year.
Mushrooms are different. They are the only vegetables that can grow before the red nematodes have completely eaten them. When there is enough water, a batch of them can grow in two or three days, while the red nematodes at this time have just grown to a size visible to the naked eye.
Although this one doesn't look very good.
This year, almost all the mushrooms grown were covered with dense red nematode eggs, and some fast-growing red nematodes were still crawling on them.
The government waved its hand and said, "Well, you used to complain about a lack of meat and vegetables, but now we have both vegetables and meat. It's the best of both worlds! Eat this from now on!"
By the way, highly concentrated salt water can also kill red nematode eggs. The concentration of seawater is not as high, but the cost is relatively high and it is not suitable for mass production.
In addition to filters and high-concentration salt water, China is the only country in the world that has developed a method used by its ancestors. It cannot achieve absolute filtration, but its filtration level is enough to grow some crooked and uneven garlic sprouts.
This method does not require high technology and is a filtering method that every household can use. Jingshu plans to talk about this method after Jingma finds out that red nematodes cannot be used to grow crops, so as to prepare Jingma for the results in advance.
Of course, she can't predict the future now.
Therefore, due to the small amount of filtered water, the vegetables and crops this year still became '***' and were only provided for a few people.
If Jingshu had not installed the super filter in advance, her family might not have had any harvest this year, and the crops in the Rubik's Cube space would have been even more difficult to survive.
Wu Youai originally said that she would be back at noon, but after Jingshu's family finished lunch, Hongshan Ecological Park had just arranged for the people in the Banana Community to go back.
Jingshu thought about it and decided to drag Shangguan Jun's body back. The first batch of people might move into the Banana Community today. It would be bad if the residents were scared and called the police, causing trouble.
Unfortunately, Yang Yang and Wang Dazhao still couldn't be contacted. Jingshu thought that their phones might be lost.
As the largest and most luxurious community in the development zone, such a big piece of cake is about to be divided, and many people can't help but start to get excited.
The interests of the original residents will inevitably be damaged to a certain extent, and the visiting specialists will soon be reallocated.
Jingshu felt that as long as no one came to infringe on the interests of her family, everything would be fine, but if someone dared to be blind... bah, Jingshu had just signed the FG, and someone came to cause trouble.
