Chapter 174 It turns out that I should take over here!
The golden sunlight was shining, and the backyard of Li Xiang's house was bright and sunny. On the persimmon tree, many yellow and white lantern-like flowers gradually bloomed. They were not particularly bright, and the flower buds were not big, but they were hidden among the green leaves, giving them a fresh and elegant look.
The large water vat used by Li Xiang for breeding was placed under the persimmon tree. He opened the lid, rolled up his sleeves, and scooped a handful of rice seeds from the vat. The rice seeds spread out in his palm, each one absorbing water and becoming full.
He poured out the water and went to the kitchen to boil some water, diluting it to about 50 degrees, which was not hot but not cold either, and poured it into the water tank again.
Pour and stir at the same time. Although the water temperature seems to be over 50 degrees, the temperature of the rice seeds is low and there is residual water in it. The two phases neutralize each other, and the final temperature is about 37 or 38 degrees.
This temperature is just right. Seal it with a film and cover it with a lid to keep it warm. After about two hours, take it out, put it in a sack, and put it in a nest surrounded by straw to wrap and cover it for germination. Germination is very important in rice breeding. During this period, you need to spray it with clean water and turn it slightly to avoid high temperature burning the buds inside. When the buds and roots are about 0.2-0.3 cm long, put the seeds out in a cool place to dry. After about six hours of cooling, you can sow them.
Rice planting seems simple, but in fact it requires a high level of experience to actually operate it. Nowadays, many young people go out to work to make a living and no longer know how to farm. Even if they do, there are often many problems and the old people cannot do it.
Li Xiang is a gifted man. The "Shennong Longevity Secret" he practiced has a natural bonus in this regard. In a word, what you plant will grow.
If his realm is high, for example, above the tenth level, the spiritual power will develop another characteristic. The seed is about to die, and if a little spiritual power is infused into the seed, it can not only be revived with full blood, but also become a "spiritual seed". If the subsequent growth conditions can keep up, with various spiritual energy and spiritual springs watering, the rice produced will be spiritual rice.
Of course, that's all later, and there's no need for that now. The return on investment is too low. We have to wait until the end of the world, when extraordinary particles emerge on Earth, before we can make any progress.
When Li Xiang was breeding, his grandmother, Jiang Jianguo, Li Yucheng, Li Jinyu and others came to watch several times. They thought Li Xiang was doing a great job and that the ancestral farming skills had successors.
Li Xiang: "So I should take over here!"
At night, he continued to go to the Maolan Karst primeval forest in Guizhou Province to sweep the mountains, still without Luo Feifei.
After all, Luo Feifei has to work during the day and stay in the best condition. Such long-distance running will consume a lot of her energy. Although extraordinary people need less sleep, they cannot overdraw too much.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Feifei's filming these days, especially the fighting scenes, is like a cheat. She is more at ease than before and can perform more beautiful moves. No matter how difficult the move is, it is done in one go, which made the director and producer applaud again and again.
Some martial arts instructors took a deep breath and said, "Oh my god, this little girl is amazing. We can't teach her anything." Some complex moves may not be performed as well as Luo Feifei even by a professional martial arts stuntman.
In fact, Luo Feifei doesn’t need to use wirework now, but it’s too shocking, so she still uses wirework.
The director and producer agreed that Luo Feifei has the potential to become a Kung Fu Queen. There is a lack of successors to Kung Fu stars in the entertainment industry, and Luo Feifei's rising star has given everyone hope.
In the Maolan Karst Nature Reserve, Li Xiang, covered in black armor, entered the "no man's land" under the cover of night.
He turned off his phone when he set out, because he later discovered a loophole that no one had discovered yet, but he had to guard against it. That is, modern mobile phones or phone cards usually have positioning. He was speeding through the wilderness like a high-speed train, and his displacement was huge in a short period of time. If he was noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it would be somewhat troublesome.
System: "A third-order mutant species, Liboyetong, has been detected."
Li Xiang finally locked onto a strange tree. This tree had never been seen before. Its leaves were leathery and extremely wrinkled. In fact, there were many rare trees in this nature reserve, so it was normal that there were no such trees in the outside world.
He immediately swung the high-density knife and chopped it off, earning 80 achievement points and three second-level elixirs.
Li Xiang didn't know that a scientific research team had already published an SCI article based on this tree, believing that the discovery of this tree filled a certain gap.
Even if they knew it, they would still cut them down. After the end of the world, countless species will die and countless new species will appear. This cycle of birth and death is not worth mentioning in the long river of history.
System: "Second-order mutant Nanman bamboo vine detected."
After Li Xiang cut off the vines that were as thick as his arm, he saw that the vines were good, so he used a hatchet to cut a two-meter-long vine and used it as a temporary weapon.
This kind of bamboo rattan has a hard texture, and the rattan sticks made from it are tough and durable. They are often used as martial arts sticks, fitness equipment, etc.
The vine that Li Xiang cut was of uniform thickness and quite elastic. He performed a few stick techniques. Although it was a little light, it was more effective in hitting bats than stalactites.
System: "A fourth-order mutant, the silver-tailed forest musk deer, has been detected."
In the jungle, in a small cave, a musk deer that looked like a deer and a small goat was hiding inside. When it saw Li Xiang coming, it immediately ran away.
"Swish~" The icy sword energy shot out, and the musk deer fell down.
This forest musk deer, also known as "Southern musk deer", is a type of musk deer. Li Xiang went forward to check it out. It was a male musk deer and should have musk in its body, which is more valuable than gold. This precious medicinal material is used in many Chinese herbal compound preparations, such as the famous Angong Niuhuang Pills.
In addition, it is also used in some high-end perfumes.
Natural musk can be sold for at least six or seven hundred yuan per gram.
This kind of musk deer is known as the most fragrant animal, and its meat, well, Li Xiang has never eaten it, and plans to take it back to taste. However, just like the previous takin, it cannot be known to others.
At that time, just call it ordinary venison.
Nowadays, there are many farmed venison for sale online, but that kind of venison is very old and tough. This is because farmed deer are mainly used to cut antlers, which has higher economic benefits. Those venison sold are all venison that has no value after aging. Some of the old deer died of natural causes, so it would be strange if they were delicious.
In fact, when eating venison, it is better to eat the meat of fawn, which is more tender.
He explored along the way and gained a lot, especially the large caves. After entering, he often gained tens of thousands of points, which can be said to be a carnival trip.
This protected area, with its caves of all sizes, is the favorite habitat of animals, and the richness of species is beyond Li Xiang's imagination.
He discovered an underground river in a large cave, so he processed some of the "mountain delicacies" he had hunted, such as the musk deer he had hunted before, on the spot and collected the blood in a large jar. Anyway, there was a system warehouse, which was very convenient.
As for the meat, it is cut into strips and stored in the system warehouse. It remains in the same state as it was put in. It is the best place to keep it fresh.
The skins are also kept for future use. In the end times when cloth is scarce, they can be used to make boots, short coats, etc.
Leather, cloth, and all kinds of materials are objects to be collected, but after all, the collection is "eating up the mountain". When the end of the world comes, industrial production and agricultural production will be severely damaged. The reason why materials are abundant now is that China is the world's leading manufacturing power, with supporting industrial chains in all aspects and trade cooperation all over the world. When the end of the world comes, it will be very difficult to be trapped in a corner, and in a relatively "narrow" underground city.
For example, if a machine breaks down and a part is missing, it can be easily purchased now, but where can you buy it in the end times? If it is simple, you can make one by hand. If it is complex and precise, like a chip, you have to get a photolithography machine first, or make one yourself. Cost, technology, and supporting supply are all problems.
The F22 production line in the United States has been dismantled, and it is extremely difficult to restore it now. It is not just because of the cost, but more importantly, the skilled workers and the supporting industrial chain are gone.
After dissecting the glands and scent sacs of special parts of the musk deer, we found a large musk with a strong fragrance, which was temporarily stored in the warehouse.
Although this natural musk is a precious Chinese medicinal material, it is quite special. Women should not come into contact with it during menstruation and pregnancy, otherwise it will cause a significant increase in blood volume and cause miscarriage. It is also an "old actor" in palace fighting dramas.
