It was already 1 a.m. when we got back to the city.
However, Liu Kai did not have a moment to rest.
Because whether it's wheat seeds or cabbage seeds, there's an extremely important step before sowing.
Soaking seeds.
Soaking seeds in water can not only activate dormant seeds, but also prevent some diseases.
Even if you use the relatively convenient constant temperature soaking method, you still need to heat the water to about 55 degrees Celsius.
Let the seeds soak in water until they cool naturally to 45 degrees Celsius, and maintain this temperature for another 3 hours.
Soaking is simple, but the amount is too large.
The seeds weighed over 300 tons, which, according to standards, would require at least 800 cubic meters of hot water.
It's equivalent to almost half of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
The climate is extremely hot now, and the average temperature of the water collected in the reservoir is around 32 degrees Celsius.
That's a pretty high starting point.
However, water has a very high specific heat capacity, so heating it to 55 degrees Celsius is still an extremely large undertaking.
Liu Kai's approach was quite simple.
burn!
He certainly couldn't use the electricity inside the bunker to boil water; that would be far too slow.
Instead of returning to the bunker, he followed the map straight to the stadium in the city center.
He found what he needed in the indoor swimming pool of this stadium.
It was a well-preserved 3,000-kilowatt diesel-fired boiler, specifically designed for rapid heating of swimming pools.
Fortunately, he still had a lot of diesel fuel in his storage space.
Part of it was obtained from the government, and the remaining resources from mining in Bright Town were not used up.
The other part comes from the underground base of the Japanese Imperial Palace.
Upon arriving at the boiler room, they quickly dismantled the diesel boiler that was fixed to the ground.
After being stored in the storage space and refueled, the boiler started operating smoothly.
Over the next few hours, Liu Kai began his grand plan of boiling water.
Heating 800 tons of water normally takes about 18 hours, but with accelerated time, it only takes 6 hours.
However, doing so comes at a significant cost.
In order to maintain the acceleration of time, he can only continuously absorb energy through "plunder".
I spent the entire night at the swimming pool and couldn't get a good night's sleep; I didn't dare to relax for even a moment.
After all, in addition to maintaining the acceleration of time, you also need to constantly pay attention to the air circulation in the storage space.
Exhaust gases from diesel combustion are discharged.
It also continuously absorbs surrounding air to replenish it, preventing the boiler from going out due to lack of oxygen.
As night faded, the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon.
Time slowly passed until 7:30 a.m., and the water temperature finally reached the temperature required for soaking the seeds!
It was almost 8 o'clock, the time he and Qin Luofei had agreed to go to the provincial military region.
Without a moment's rest, Liu Kai immediately controlled the more than 300 tons of seeds in the storage space to be wrapped in heated warm water and soaked.
The off-road vehicle was not taken out of the storage space.
Instead, they strode into the torrential rain, splashing water as they rushed toward the shelter.
There is still plenty of time, so there is no need to "plunder" energy to maintain the storage space's time acceleration.
This gave Liu Kai a rare moment of relief.
There are indeed many things to do at the shelter.
In order to resolve the issues and reunite with Liu Kai as soon as possible, Qin Luofei got up early in the morning and worked like crazy.
We are currently supervising the maintenance of the wind turbine generators.
Liu Kai didn't waste her time. After saying goodbye, he boarded the pre-arranged helicopter and headed to the provincial military region.
We arrived at the military airport very quickly.
The familiar Mooney 2GX-E electric aircraft was fully charged and parked in the hangar.
Yang Hongchang has also been very busy lately, constantly running around.
Liu Kai didn't need to make a point of visiting him, so he was naturally happy to have some free time.
This time, he didn't need to cruise at low altitude to avoid radar.
Following air traffic control instructions, I quickly took off and broke through the dark clouds to reach the sunlit skies.
Enjoying the calm westerly winds moving northward through the stratosphere.
China has a vast territory.
This trip took us from a coastal city in the south to the northeast, a distance of 2,400 kilometers.
The distance was not much shorter than the last trip to Japan.
Fortunately, Yang Hongchang reported his flight routes to his superiors on his behalf.
Once the autopilot is set, you can fly directly at the maximum cruising speed of 320 km/h.
Although Liu Kai lay in the cabin with his eyes closed to rest throughout the journey, he did not let his guard down at all.
After all, who knows if those two damned "destiny" families will take the opportunity to do something underhanded again.
Clearly, his worries were unnecessary.
As someone designated by the Feng family to cooperate, and also chosen by General Secretary Qiu Xingzhou to bring down the Feng family.
His whereabouts have been classified as top secret.
Many people knew the flight path of this plane, including the commanders of the troops stationed along the route.
But very few people knew that Liu Kai was on the plane.
The journey was smooth and uneventful, with absolutely no excitement whatsoever.
Nearly 8 hours passed, and it was 4 p.m.
The plane finally arrived over Dian County, which is under the jurisdiction of the oil city in the heart of Northeast China.
Liu Kai disconnected the autopilot.
He personally piloted the plane as it slowly descended towards the G10 expressway northwest of Dian County.
The land here is flat, and the highways built here are often also military roads.
It can handle the takeoff and landing of large transport aircraft in emergencies, let alone a small civilian aircraft.
During the descent, Liu Kai also discovered an interesting phenomenon through "scanning".
Although the north is cold, the human survival rate is much higher than in the south.
For example, right now the oil city shelter is packed with people, with a number comparable to that of the Fenghai shelter.
