Lu Yuan stood outside the circular passageway for a long time before finally turning and leaving.
In order to bring all the survivors back to live, the large ship sailed back and forth five or six times before finally taking them all away.
With an increase of over 10,000 people, food supplies in the camp have become even more strained.
In order to get rid of the food crisis as soon as possible, Lu Yuan had no choice but to use the strategic grain reserves he had previously stored.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are crops that can be widely planted. These crops grow very quickly, and if planted in relatively fertile soil, they can be harvested in a short time.
Moreover, their protein block production base has now been built, and all kinds of proteins are sent here for processing.
Many people only need two protein cubes a day to meet their body's daily needs.
Of course, eating these protein cubes will only ensure that you won't go hungry for the day. If you want to work, then the amount of protein cubes you digest will increase.
In order to enable more people to find jobs, Lu Yuan knew that they had to grow their own food as soon as possible, and on a large scale.
If they plant according to the previous regulations, then their food supply will be insufficient, since the population here has suddenly increased by more than 20,000 people, which is no small number.
Everyone sat outside the empty tent, looking at Lu Yuan's somber expression, knowing that he had something important to announce again.
After a while, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I've been observing our food consumption over the past two days and I've noticed something's wrong. There are suddenly nearly 20,000 more mouths to feed, and we're already running out of food."
To solve this problem, we must put it on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise we will all face a food crisis. I don't need to explain, everyone knows what that feels like!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Yuan simply continued asking questions.
"Please share your thoughts on how to deal with the food crisis, and let's work together to solve it!"
Immediately after Lu Yuan finished speaking, Xu Changbing stood up and said something.
"Boss, I'm not saying this to be mean, but we've taken in nearly 20,000 people. If they don't work, just their consumption alone won't be enough for all the food we grow! If you ask me, it would be much better to just take them with us and let them farm the land together!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly without replying, and continued to look in the direction of his father.
Lu's father also quietly got up.
“I visited Luo Xuan’s camp a few days ago. That kid Luo Xuan told me that he was worried about losing contact and cooperation with us, so he wanted to help. If you ask me, how about we transfer some people from his side to help us farm?”
Then Xiaoshan's father also stood up and spoke.
"If you ask me, there are already enough people in the camp. Let them recover for two days before we continue planting. Let's select the plots first and start cultivating them directly! This way, it won't waste any time. Giving them two days to recover should be enough!"
Xiao Shan said softly from the side.
"These people are not in good health. Let's give them a medical check-up first. Many of them are almost completely worn out and have a lot of illnesses. Making them work in the fields would be like taking their lives!"
Lu Yuan continued to nod, and after everyone had finished speaking, he glanced at the notes he had just taken down.
“I understand most of the problems you’ve mentioned. Your current approach is to get these people to help us work in the fields and increase our labor force.”
Secondly, we will give them two days to rest. During these two days, we will plan out the land plots and start cultivating them as soon as they recover.
"And in the next two days, they need to undergo medical examinations. Those who are weak and sickly and unfit for farming should be sent to Luo Xuan's camp, while those who indicated they wanted to farm should be brought back and made to work in the fields. Is that what you mean?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"It's not impossible to do it this way, but I have a concern: with so many people and so much land, won't there be a population surplus?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan's mother, who was standing to the side, smiled and said.
"There won't be an overpopulation problem. Look at our protein block factory, we're still short of employees who collect protein. Why don't we just transfer those with physical weaknesses to help us collect protein blocks? Sitting in the factory is better than going to the fields to cultivate the land!"
After listening, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction; the effect of brainstorming was excellent.
"Alright, in that case, let's continue our work using this method and get these people into work mode as soon as possible, so as not to waste this hard-won opportunity!"
Xiao Shan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm, should we group them up, separating those with good physical strength from those with poor physical strength, and those who are sick from those who are not?"
Lu Yuan immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right. Separate them so that we can arrange the physical examinations together. That way, it might be a bit of a hassle for you!"
Xiao Shan smiled.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Besides, being busy now is for our own good. If we're busy now, we can relax later!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but pinch Xiao Shan's cheek, feeling that she had become much more sensible.
In the following period, people's work officially got back on track.
Lu Yuan is still pondering how to open this door every day.
If they open it, they may face a crisis.
However, if they don't open it, Zhou Tong and his group will always be stuck in that desperate situation.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Yuan finally made a decision.
"No, the door must be opened, and the cannibals inside cannot be let out! If they aren't, Zhou Tong and the rest of them will be doomed!"
After gritting his teeth, Lu Yuan finally made a decision.
He retrieved the large, concentrated piece of steel plate, hoisted it back to its original position using a starter, and then installed a switch.
The circular passageway door can be opened by a remote control switch.
On their side, they welded the huge iron block into the gap created by the weld by using solder joints.
In this way, even if the cannibals inside surge out, they still cannot get out.
Lu Yuan was simply using this gap to gradually whittle down the ghouls inside.
