With the house issue settled, Lu Yuan set up a processing plant here, specializing in processing catalysts and fertilizers. After processing these things, they officially entered the production and living phase.
This time, Lu Yuan chose to grow some high-end fruits and ordinary grains.
The grain is planted using a large-scale planting method, which allows for a very fast harvest. Lu Yuan's plant can be harvested in about three months from sowing to harvest.
The main reason for planting apples and other fruit trees is to make money, as these fruits are extremely expensive; a single apple on the black market can be worth a tenth of its weight in gold. Moreover, they are highly sought after but rarely available.
Many wealthy people would rather spend a lot of gold to buy some seemingly flashy but impractical fruit, just to have a taste of it.
After all, these things are basically extinct by now. Of course, the various additives for fruits produced in laboratories are very complex. Taking a bite feels like you've collected the entire periodic table of elements.
Who knows if they'll survive to see the next day after taking that bite? That's why they scoff at the fruits the lab has developed.
However, some families choose to plant ornamental apple trees and various fruit trees. These fruit trees don't grow very big even with careful care, but the fruits are small enough to satisfy cravings.
Most wealthy people grow a few fruit trees in their homes, but Lu Yuan's fruit tree is different from other fruit trees. It is exactly the same as the fruit trees before the apocalypse. The apple tree can grow to five or six meters tall, and it is very normal for a single fruit tree to bear hundreds of fruits each time.
Lu Yuan planted one acre of apple trees and several acres of various fruit trees, which occupied half of the area.
After a busy six months, we finally got this matter sorted out.
Meanwhile, things were finally starting to look promising regarding the 77th Army Corps.
Previously, the two sides had engaged in a protracted battle, which was something Lu Yuan had not expected.
After returning from the military headquarters, Zhou Tong excitedly told everyone about it.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Blue Star people would also be so afraid of being beaten. Our people from the North and the South joined forces to launch an attack on them, and the Blue Star people were defeated and forced to retreat."
However, the 77th Army Corps is no pushover. They have been fighting for more than two months now, and there is still no clear winner!
Last night's battle nearly wiped out the 77th Legion's fighting force. The Earthlings are probably preparing to withdraw now. Once this crucial point is secured, the passage between the South and the North will be essentially secured!
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, the family members were all very excited.
However, this event did not have a significant impact on them, but it did play a crucial role in the future development of humanity.
After all, the fact that both sides can communicate and express their apologies will play a role in future development.
"So many men from the 77th Legion have been wiped out. Those who lead troops in the North must be quite formidable!"
Zhou Tong chuckled. He had trained most of his men, and he knew exactly how strong they were. These men should be able to handle the Blue Star people.
Then Zhou Tong took out a report from his pocket and handed it over: "This is a list of spoils of war that I got from the logistics unit. Take a look and see what you need. They'll spend money to buy some of these Blue Star people's things from the black market. There are some good things there. If you don't buy them, you'll be missing out. People in all regions are scrambling for them now. If you're late, they'll be gone!"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan was taken aback. He picked up the item and took a look, and sure enough, he found many things inside.
However, most of the items were circled. Zhou Tong explained that the circled items were not allowed to be sold and were controlled by the military. Only the remaining items could be sold, but they would be sold out if you went too late.
After discussing it with his family, Lu Yuan selected a few items and then gave the land to Zhou Tong.
During the following period, Zhou Tong kept spending money to buy things, and that's when he saw the following scene.
Lu Yuan and his family simply built a playground in the courtyard. Qi Qi finally has a place to play, and the other children also have a place to play.
In Lu Yuan's office, there were all sorts of small appliances, such as a television and a radio, and their kitchen was filled with cooking appliances, which made it feel like we had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world.
Lu Yuan's choices differed from others; he preferred highly practical appliances because they lacked factories, making their production virtually impossible.
People outside value practicality more. For example, household appliances like rice cookers are basically unusable without electricity.
They take up space and are expensive, so they generally don't choose to buy these things. This leads some wealthy people to buy these things because they have the same idea: they don't lack those resources, and they buy them to make their lives more convenient.
After finishing those things, Lu Yuan flipped through the list again, just to see if there was anything else he needed to buy. Suddenly, he noticed that there was an additional list of seeds listed below.
After taking a careful look, Lu Yuan pointed to a few things at the back that he had never seen before and asked.
"Hey, how come we've never seen these seeds before? Could they be seeds from the Earthlings?"
Zhou Tong turned his head to take a look and then explained, "Oh, these seeds are said to be some seeds that the Blue Star people found underground. They were basically all sent to the laboratory as experimental subjects. What, do you want them?"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "If we have the chance, let's buy some back. Anyway, these seeds aren't very expensive. Let's study them ourselves and see what they are!"
In fact, Lu Yuan meant that he wanted to send all these things into the dimensional space and give them to Qiao Ya to see what they were, since he had never seen these things before.
Zhou Tong nodded, then took his things and left.
A few days later, Zhou Tong returned, carrying a bag of seeds.
"Those are all the seeds we found over there back then!"
