Since moving to the Oasis Base, Fang Qingdai has felt that time has passed exceptionally quickly.
Every day, a large portion of the time is spent patrolling, scouting, and recording the terrain. After completing basic training and handling some base affairs, the day is over.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the crops in the field had grown lush and green, looking very promising.
Fang Qingdai would sneak over to the field every day to take a look, and she couldn't help but feel moved whenever she saw how robust the wheat plants were.
But Zhang Xin and Qing Zhong were not so optimistic.
Today, Fang Qingdai went to the fields to check on the crops again. Zhang Xin hurriedly went over and said with a worried look, "Dai'er, I feel like my knowledge is not enough."
"Huh?" Fang Qingdai was a little confused.
There are schools in this wasteland, but they only teach literacy, just like literacy classes in China at some point. You have to spend points to attend, so it's not a resident welfare program.
However, after becoming a superhuman, Zhang Xinqingzhong did learn to read.
Because of their deep interest in ancient Chinese culture, the two of them learned more than the average person.
In this situation, why is Zhang Xin lamenting that she doesn't have enough knowledge?
She can't enroll her in an adult university either.
“I’ve discussed this with your dad. These seeds are precious, and for sustainable development, we definitely need to preserve them. But I have absolutely no knowledge about seed preservation or breeding new varieties.”
"I'm afraid that if I rely solely on a wood-type ability user's affinity for plants to sense them, I might not do it well and ruin the seeds."
Zhang Xin was very anxious. After taking over the farming task, she moved directly to the palace closest to the farmland. Every day, she would go straight to the fields as soon as she opened her eyes and only go back to rest when it got dark.
She is a wood-type ability user with a strong sense of plant growth. Even though she knows that this batch of crops is currently healthy, she still can't help but feel anxious.
Because Zhang Xin knows about wheat!
She had seen a few descriptions of wheat in ancient books and knew that wheat was a high-yielding crop and could be processed into thousands of kinds of food, making it a major food source for ancient people.
If it can really be grown in the wasteland, it can replace the expensive nutrient solution, and people will no longer need to risk their lives to do tasks in the wasteland in exchange for cheap points. Wheat alone can provide food and clothing for more people!
Just imagining everyone having enough to eat makes Zhang Xin so excited that she can't sleep. She wishes she could stay in the field 24/7 watching the crops grow!
However, she lacked the relevant knowledge and couldn't control her anxiety, fearing that she might not take good care of the wheat and ruin it.
Fang Qingdai nodded in understanding after hearing this, but she was also a little worried.
Fang Qingdai's mother took on the important task of planting and cultivating crops with such dedication, which made things much easier for her.
But Fang Qingdai couldn't answer the problem she was facing.
If she understood, she wouldn't have passed it on to Zhang Xin, who has wood-type abilities.
After thinking it over, she decided to go find some relevant information!
Fang Qingdai immediately found Jing Yi and told him her needs.
Jing Yi looked up from a pile of maps covered in symbols: "Ancient books?"
Fang Qingdai paused, somewhat embarrassed.
She mentioned to Jingyi a few days ago that it would be great if they could have their own satellite and build their own base station.
That same day, Jing Yi convened a meeting with several team members who had previously worked as researchers at the Zhuque Base to seriously discuss which direction they should strive towards in order to launch their own satellite.
Despite the technological regression in some aspects of the wasteland, the core of important parts was preserved by the pioneers with all their might, so that the spark of humanity could be rekindled as soon as possible.
Despite the many years that have passed in the wasteland, research on satellites has not made much progress, but it has remained at the level it was at before the apocalypse.
Both the Azure Dragon Base and the White Tiger Base are capable of launching satellites.
Jing Yi and his group discussed it for a long time and decided that they could either spend a large amount of points to buy a satellite from the two bases.
However, this method requires a huge amount of funding and is prone to exposing the nascent oasis base.
Another approach is to recruit several talented individuals with expertise in satellite technology, and then acquire materials separately based on the needs of building the satellite.
The problem with this method is that the technical personnel are usually protected by the base and are not easy to "get" to.
Forcibly seizing something comes at too high a cost and also makes you an easy target.
So Jingyi and his team spent several days sorting out information and identified some talents who were not well-known but had relevant knowledge and experience and were not currently being used by their respective bases.
At this moment, he was sorting through the information again and marking the factions to which several undecided talents belonged.
Before this matter was even resolved, Fang Qingdai came knocking again with more questions!
"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Qingdai hesitated for a moment, but could only say this dryly.
She and Jing Yi have always been a team where she provides supplies, while Jing Yi provides manpower, manpower, and information.
Because he knew more about the wasteland and had once been a high-ranking member of a base, he was also more familiar with the situation of various bases.
In addition, he himself is a high-level superhuman, and his team members are also well-trained and highly capable individuals, so he has to take on too much work.
Jing Yi didn't seem to mind. He softened his expression and said gently, "It's nothing, it's not hard work. It's all for the base."
Fang Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief and brought up Zhang Xin's request again.
Jing Yi frowned and thought for a moment before speaking: "I know a place where you might find what you're looking for."
He pulled over the map and pointed to a certain location with his slender fingers: "I once read a document about the customs and culture of the post-apocalyptic world. This place once had the largest library in all of China. When the apocalypse came, books were not essential for survival, so they should not have been looted."
"The reason why civilization will break down after the apocalypse is because people are busy surviving and have no energy to care about those books. After the wasteland is established, people want to search for them, only to find that the area has been contaminated by highly polluting sources, just like the area where you saved me. The official teams can't go very deep into it either."
"Therefore, I speculate that there should be a considerable amount of books and documents remaining here!"
Fang Qingdai's eyes lit up upon hearing this!
Others can't get in, but she has her own space and can come and go as she pleases!
When rescuing Jing Yi, it was determined that unless something with self-awareness, like the Jade Seal, actively seeks out gaps to invade the space, other things, such as pollution and radiation, cannot penetrate the interior of the space!
Seeing Fang Qingdai's enthusiastic expression, Jing Yi immediately said, "Let me find out the route, and we'll go tomorrow?"
Fang Qingdai thought for a moment. The base was already in operation, and each department had a dedicated person in charge overseeing it.
For example, with Zhang Xin overseeing the farming, Qing Zhong also joined the maintenance and construction team after helping Zhang Xin tidy up the land, leading people to build the city wall.
The training is led by Jing Yi's second and third subordinates, the exploration is currently being led by Mao Yun with wood-type ability users, and the overall affairs are also coordinated by Huang Guang, a capable and shrewd person.
So it's fine for her to leave the base with Jing Yi for a few days!
