Honeysuckle, mung bean, patchouli, loofah peel, watermelon, grapes, tomatoes and other fruits have been planted. Lu Xingtang's space also plants a large number of them to prevent the base from being insufficient. In addition to the grains, vegetables, fruits and medicinal materials originally grown on the black soil, there are about 40 acres of black soil left. Lu Xingtang used it all to plant honeysuckle, mung bean, patchouli, watermelon, tomatoes, grafted many grape vines, as well as cantaloupe, musk melon, Hami melon, etc.
All the black soil was planted. When planting, Lu Xingtang called all the teachers and classmates, including Su Cheng and the other two, and they entered the space together. They were responsible for grafting the grapes, and the rest was left to them to do with their consciousness. Grafting is a delicate job and must be done well.
After Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo finished planting vegetables, grains, fruits and medicinal herbs, they joined the grafting army and helped everyone graft or transplant grape vines.
There were a lot of people at the base and the planting speed was very fast. The temperature had reached about 38 degrees at that time. It was only a week since the heavy rain stopped. After the heavy rain stopped, the sun came out and the temperature was about 23 degrees. Now they wanted to take off their clothes and work shirtless. Now the tempered glass of the entire base has been opened, and even the windows at home have been opened.
The survivors at the base had noticed something unusual, especially Lu Xingtang, who had asked them to dig reservoirs and ponds during the heavy rain to store large amounts of water, allowing them to continuously grow vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs, most of which were used to prevent heatstroke and heatstroke.
Lu Xingtang happened to come to the medicinal herb planting area to check on the planting situation and the growth of the medicinal herbs. They approached Lu Xingtang in fear and asked, "Base Captain, is an extreme heat wave coming?"
Lu Xingtang nodded heavily. "That's right, the extreme heat has arrived, so everyone must protect themselves. The base has already made preparations to stockpile water, and there are enough supplies for the entire base to eat for a year. Plus, everyone is working hard to grow medicinal herbs. I believe we will definitely make it through!"
"We believe in the base commander!" Lu Xingtang had already prepared for a rainy day and had made sufficient preparations. All of them participated in it. Although it was very hard work, they thought about how much water they had stockpiled. The base commander also said that it was enough food for the entire base for a year. Their grain, vegetable and fruit planting areas had already left the base. They believed that as long as they worked together and persevered, they would definitely get through it.
Lu Xingtang asked the people in the broadcasting room to release the extremely hot news, so that everyone could be prepared. At the same time, he reassured everyone not to panic, saying that the base was well prepared and asked everyone to rest assured and follow the base's footsteps. As long as the base did not give up, they were not allowed to give up either.
The scorching heat was unbearable for everyone. Unlike before the apocalypse, when there were air conditioners and fans, there were very few such appliances after the apocalypse. It was impossible for everyone to use air conditioners and fans. They could only fan themselves, but the wind that came out was hot air, which had no effect at all.
The amount of edible and inedible ice cubes was not enough to supply the entire base. Lu Xingtang did not take them out for the time being, but stockpiled them and would take them out for everyone to use when the heat was the worst.
Su Cheng frowned and said, "I wonder how high the temperature will reach this time? If the temperature is too high, can we let everyone enter the underground city?"
The underground city has been almost completed and is large enough to accommodate everyone in their base, but it is very crowded and not as spacious as the one above.
Lu Xingtang said decisively, "The dungeon must not be activated. It must not be activated unless absolutely necessary! Otherwise, people will want to hide in the dungeon when they encounter danger or trouble, and it will become a bad habit. The news about the dungeon must not be spread. The workers who built the dungeon must be warned to keep their mouths shut!"
The survivors of the base have indeed suffered a lot from the end of the world, but if they knew the existence of the underground city, they would definitely make a fuss, thinking that the base wants them to die in the natural disaster and doesn't want to support them anymore.
However, when the temperature rose to 40 degrees, Lu Xingtang and 34 other people had already put on constant temperature clothing. The constant temperature clothing gave everyone warmth, maintained body temperature at 25 degrees, and made everyone feel less hot.
At night, Lu Xingtang gathered everyone in the points exchange area and asked everyone to come to the points exchange area to collect their medicines, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Ren Dan, Shi Di Shui, Qingliang Oil, Fengyoujing and other medicines to prevent heatstroke. Each person got one, and no one was allowed to snatch other people's medicines. If the heatstroke was really severe and they were worried about heatstroke, they should go to the base hospital for timely treatment.
The base hospital is equipped with air conditioning, which is the only place in the entire base with air conditioning. Lu Xingtang does not allow any non-patients to use the air conditioning in the base hospital, which will disrupt the order of the base hospital and prevent doctors and patients from seeing patients or getting medical treatment in time.
Because the weather was too hot, everyone ate less, so Lu Xingtang gave the cafeteria a lot of refrigerators and freezers, which were all freezers he had collected from restaurants and canteens. With freezers, there was no need to worry about meat and vegetables going bad, as they could all be kept in the refrigerator for safekeeping and freezing.
When Lu Xingtang went to the cafeteria to eat, he was queuing up when he heard everyone sighing: "The food in our base cafeteria is very delicious, but it's too hot. It's so hot that I have no appetite at all. If it weren't for the thought that eating a full meal will give me the energy to work and earn points, I really don't want to eat anymore!"
"It's a bit hot, but it's better than being hungry. Don't waste food. Eat as much as you can. In the apocalypse, wasting food is shameful!"
"I won't waste food. I grew all of this with my own hands. Every grain is the product of hard work. How could I possibly waste it? Besides, I have mung bean soup, sour plum soup, honeysuckle tea, and so on."
Not to mention that the survivors had no appetite due to the heat, Lu Xingtang also had no appetite, but she could enter the space to cool down, which was a little better than them.
The temperature today has reached 50 degrees. Everyone stays at home if possible. There is no air conditioning or electric fan, no ice cream or ice watermelon. The scorching air is unbearable. It seems that we can just sprinkle a layer of cumin on it and eat it.
After dinner, Lu Xingtang found his special assistant Fox, "Hu Li, can we limit the supply of watermelons, grapes, etc. in our base? There are a lot in the space!" Lu Xingtang had just harvested a batch, so he thought they could be supplied in limited quantities.
Special Assistant Hu Li shook his head. "Wait a little longer. The cafeteria has added mung bean soup, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, double-leaf tea, winter melon tea, patchouli tea, and sour plum soup. Plus, base commander, have them receive daily doses of Huoxiang Zhengqi water (tablets) (granules), Rendan, and Shidi Shui. The symptoms of heatstroke aren't serious."
There haven't been any cases of heat stroke so far, and even the base's sanitation is exceptionally good, especially the public restrooms, which are fumigated with mugwort almost every hour! I don't think it's necessary for now. Once more people get heatstroke, or the Huoxiang Zhengqi water loses its effectiveness, we can limit the supply of other drinks like ice watermelon, ice grapes, or smoothies.
