Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Zhu came to talk to Bai Shuang and her companion, but they always arrived around mealtime because the food at Bai Shuang's house was the best.
In fact, they didn't talk about anything substantial, and Bai Shuang suspected that they were just there to freeload a meal.
For example, they talked about how many small groups have sprung up around the base today. These are actually small groups from the pre-disaster countries, but now that their numbers are too small, they have become small groups.
After learning that the Babylonians had joined the Chinese base, they also wanted to join, but the base would not accept them without making any special contributions.
They just stood around the base all day making a racket.
Bai Shuang suddenly had a brilliant idea, "Why don't we let them go to the sea to retrieve things and bring them to our base to exchange for food?"
Many ships have been destroyed by storms.
Furthermore, the world before the disaster was very developed, with a large population and complete facilities.
Even if something is damaged by natural disasters or destroyed by storms, many things can be recycled and reused. In today's world, however, there are no resources at all.
Newly formed landmasses mean that finding new minerals is neither quick nor easy.
Next, the entire base will have to focus on spring planting; without a harvest, nothing can proceed.
Commander Liu: "You mean, let them scavenge?"
But do they have fuel? Do they have the capability?
Bai Shuang: That's their business. If we find something, we'll exchange it. If we don't, it's no big deal.
Think about it, how easy is it to survive until now?
Deputy Commander Zhu thought for a while, "Those scraps are of no use to us anyway."
Your father and his technical team haven't returned yet, and the machine tools and supporting equipment are still missing. How can we use it?
Bai Shuang: "To be honest, I've kept the entire set of equipment from the Kyoto base."
The two men stared wide-eyed.
But thinking about it, it's not surprising. If such a large aircraft carrier can be preserved, what else can't be done?
Bai Shuang: "As for the technical team, I believe they will come back. Even if there are personnel losses, they will not be completely wiped out."
On the eve of the storm, Bai Shuang not only increased their food reserves but also left them a considerable amount of weaponry.
Commander Liu glanced at Bai Shuang and immediately said, "That's right, that's right, Mr. Ling will definitely come back."
Lu Yu: "We can also send them out to help us find our compatriots. If they find them, there will be a big reward."
Those who make significant contributions can be considered for membership in the Huaxia Base.
Deputy Chief Zhu: "That's a good idea. We still don't have enough manpower."
Commander Liu: "Our food supplies?"
Bai Shuang: "We can manage for now. I personally have a lot of food stored up during the daytime. If there is a shortage, I can lend it to the base first."
Spring planting is just around the corner. If we put in our full effort, we should have a harvest this year.
However, the portion of Bai Shuang's personal property that was borrowed must be returned after it is harvested. Public and private matters are separate; she never mixes them up.
After they left, Bai Shuang and the others went for a walk before going home to rest.
After their passionate lovemaking, Lu Yu, seeing that the person in his arms was almost asleep, asked her, "Shouldn't we have a baby?"
"They'll start producing oil after they've harvested it."
Bai Shuang didn't make a fuss; it was time to have a baby. She was getting on in years, and the base was pretty much stable now.
"After collecting oil, shouldn't you get pregnant first?"
Hearing his words, Bai Shuang, who was still half asleep, immediately woke up and became furious.
"Can I still go to collect oil while I'm pregnant?"
This person is brainless.
"Honey, please calm down. I'm sorry, it was my oversight."
"If Grandpa heard you say that, he would definitely beat you up."
Seeing his silly goose-like appearance, Bai Shuang decided not to argue with him.
It's normal that he only has a superficial understanding of pregnancy and childbirth, as it's not his area of expertise, and besides, it's rare to see anyone getting pregnant in the apocalypse.
Bai Shuang pondered that she not only had to give birth, but also had to encourage other people's lives.
There are no children left in the entire base; there is a population gap.
In the end times, very few people are born, and even if they are, it is very difficult to raise them. Few adults survive, let alone children.
Most of the people who are still alive today are from Bai Shuang's generation, ranging from ten years older to three years younger.
When natural disasters begin, people are usually between fifteen and thirty years old, in their prime, with the best physical strength, and are most likely to survive.
Further up in age, their physical strength weakens, and even those who survive are now over forty and have almost lost their fertility.
Those younger than them, too young and too weak, are almost all gone.
However, encouraging childbirth should wait until the herbs have matured. The herbs stored in Bai Shuang should be kept secret and not taken out indefinitely.
Next, Bai Shuang will need to rent land at the base to grow medicinal herbs and grains. The next step is for the pharmaceutical factory to start operating, as they cannot always rely on stored medicines.
However, these all belong to Bai Shuang's private property.
The Bai family's traditional Chinese medicine is her ancestral business and also her mission as the successor of the Bai family.
Bai Shuang's planting business has been temporarily handed over to Huang Xing (Fatty, Tangcheng Yellow Ox's henchman).
This person is exceptionally intelligent and loyal; Bai Shuang greatly admires him.
Next, we will concentrate our efforts on spring plowing.
Commander Wang and his men are border troops, skilled in defense. The security of the base will be entrusted to them, who will be responsible for daily patrols.
Except for a portion of the soldiers on Commander Liu's side who were sent out to find other comrades, all of them devoted themselves to production.
Bai Shuang originally planned to let the seeds adapt to the wasteland without using the spiritual spring water, but that would make development too slow.
With so many people eating, we can't rely entirely on her storage space.
Therefore, for the first time she cultivates each plot of land, she still plans to add some water when watering.
Once the land becomes fertile, we won't need to do that anymore; we'll let the plants gradually adapt to the soil.
As temperatures rise, a group of people, including soldiers and ordinary survivors, are busy working in the fields on the bulldozer-leveled land.
They carried hoes and shovels, digging the soil bit by bit, putting the seeds into the ground, and then watering them.
Transplanting saplings is especially arduous. After each sapling is planted, it must be protected with a tattered tent, otherwise it will be uprooted by the wind.
Due to the limited number of broken tents, once the saplings survived, the tents were removed, and the saplings were replanted and protected.
Even when there was a strong wind at night, everyone got up and used their bodies to forcibly hold down the tent.
Minister Hong often came out at night to lead everyone in protecting the saplings. Even when he had a cold and fever, he still insisted on working the next day.
Bai Shuang herself had never done it. As a leader, she needed to use her brain. As long as she gave the order, someone would take care of it.
Every time I heard that they caught a cold while protecting the saplings at night, I would send them medicine.
One morning, Bai Shuang heard that Minister Hong had a high fever. When she took Bai Jiu and the other person to see him, they found that he had not rested and had gone to the fields again.
When they brought him back, his face was burning red.
"Are you out of your mind? If you're sick, you should rest."
Furthermore, you should train subordinates to help you share the burden; you can't do everything yourself.
