However, it is by no means a good opportunity to collect oil.
The base now has a population of over 20,000. With the population growing, if the land doesn't produce any more grain, no matter how much Bai Shuang stored up, it won't be enough.
Therefore, the two decided to focus on developing production first, and postpone the oil business.
With the time for planting trees approaching, Mr. Hong came to Bai Shuang to discuss whether there were any special methods.
These first batch of saplings are especially important. If they survive, then at least the second batch will have a barrier against the wind.
He worried that the saplings he had painstakingly cultivated would not survive or would be uprooted by the wind.
Bai Shuang: "Have everyone dig the holes a little deeper, plant them, sprinkle alfalfa seeds on the surface, and then water them."
Normally, grass shouldn't be planted on the ground because it competes with saplings for nutrients, but special circumstances call for special treatment. Currently, the wind and sand are too strong, and grass can help stabilize the sand.
"When the time comes, I'll give you a kind of medicine. Add a little to the water when you water the seedlings, and it will ensure their survival."
There's no need to rush things. After planting, cover the seedlings with a tattered tent for a few days, and remove the tent once they've taken root.
You can dig a small pit, plant the trees there, and once they've taken root, you can plant another small patch.
Focus on ensuring a high survival rate; don't worry about the area or the pace of the process yet.
Mr. Hong: "Understood, base commander."
Bai Shuang: "If these saplings and alfalfa grow up, we can develop animal husbandry and then we'll have meat to eat."
Director Hong's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
"Base commander, there are no domesticated cubs."
He reminded him.
Natural disasters have occurred for so many years, it seems they've long since become extinct.
"I'll figure out a way; you just need to focus on growing good crops."
"I will definitely do my best."
Mr. Hong, "There's one more thing, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"
"Speak."
"That's right, some of the new people from the Tangcheng base don't want to do farm work. They say the base leader is from Tangcheng."
