Chapter 401 Ancestors of Crops
What Song Haitao was worried about was not a big deal for Jiang Yan.
The flow of time in her space storage area was still, and these seeds and plants would only be better preserved in it than outside.
However, she naturally couldn't say such words, so she had to comfort Song Haitao, "Doctor, choose the lesser of two evils, you don't worry too much."
Song Haitao nodded, "That's right."
Sun Jingtao took out a few isolation suits from the cabinet next to him, "Jiang Yan, do you want to wear this when you go in?"
There was a thick layer of glass separating the room outside from the area where the storage racks were placed inside.
"It should be a sterile environment inside. We are like this-" Song Haitao glanced at Sun Jingtao and Jiang Yan, who were covered in blood, and then looked at himself, "Forget it, let's put it on. It can reduce some bacterial contamination, which is better."
Sun Jingtao had no intention of following him in. After handing the isolation suit to the two, he turned and walked outside, "Okay, then I'll go outside to guard. Call me when you're ready."
No matter what kind of safe environment it is, one person must be left outside, and not everyone can enter the house. This is a habit he has developed over the years.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Brother Tao." Jiang Yan handed him the emergency light, put on the protective suit, opened the door inside, and walked in with Song Haitao.
There are many things to collect later. Some high-tech equipment and instruments are not as simple as simply throwing them into the space. They also need people to guide and instruct them.
This person, except Mo Jingsheng, is most likely Song Haitao.
So Jiang Yan is ready to expose part of her space strength in front of him.
However, Song Haitao was obviously not prepared.
Seeing with his own eyes that the storage racks filled with seeds disappeared completely after Jiang Yan's fingers touched them, he was completely shocked.
"Xiao Jiang, your black technology backpack is really amazing."
"It's okay." Jiang Yan smiled and continued to walk forward.
"Can it get smaller?" Song Haitao's eyes paused on this backpack that had no logo but looked of good quality.
"No. But it's okay, Doctor, even if someone snatches it away, it's useless." Jiang Yan knew what he meant by asking this and explained.
Song Haitao nodded, "That's good."
As a scientific researcher, he was full of curiosity about Jiang Yan's "black technology" backpack.
But professional ethics and personal ethics told him that some questions were not suitable to be asked.
So Song Haitao did not continue to ask.
He glanced around and changed the subject, "Xiao Jiang, after collecting these seeds, we will also collect the computers, instruments, and materials in the archives."
Jiang Yan nodded, "Okay."
After a while, except for the seeds, all the items in the room that could be picked up independently were collected into the space by Jiang Yan.
Song Haitao exclaimed repeatedly, "Food is the primary need of the people. If we keep these seeds, we humans will be saved in the future."
After collecting more than 10,000 seeds, the two went to the plant area.
Looking at the rows of familiar yet unfamiliar plants on the culture racks, Jiang Yan was stunned, "Doctor, this plant looks like rice, but also like a weed--"
She was halfway through her speech when she noticed that there were many labels under the bottle.
"Wild rice?"
Looking at the other plants next to it, almost all of them had the word "wild".
She was a little surprised, "Such a good warehouse, how come they are all storing wild crops?"
In addition to aerospace, Song Haitao has also done some homework and explained:
"This is because wild relatives of crops contain excellent genes for disease and pest resistance, stress resistance, etc., which can be transferred to cultivated varieties through hybridization, thereby increasing crop yields and enhancing their ability to cope with adverse environmental conditions such as climate change.
However, as time goes by, wild crops will also face extinction or become difficult to find, so they will be specially protected."
"So these wild crops can be said to be the ancestors of the crops we are growing now."
Jiang Yan paused as she collected the plants. "Then can I understand it this way? Now the Lieyan Base and Musen Base are constantly doing mutation experiments on humans and animals. In the future, ordinary people will actually have no competitiveness in the face of natural disasters and these mutants.
However, humans who have not undergone any genetic changes, as long as they can survive natural disasters, will they also become a scarce species like wild crops?"
"There is this possibility." Song Haitao said, and clenched his fists angrily, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "It is very likely that they have done so now."
Jiang Yan was slightly startled, and her mind suddenly remembered a video she had seen a long time ago.
A long time ago, black slaves on farms abroad were required to wear iron masks when working.
The reason was that the farmers were afraid that they would steal fruits and vegetables when picking them.
But strong male slaves did not need to wear them.
Because in this way, male slaves, in addition to participating in daily labor, would be arranged by the farmers to "breed" at night.
"I don't know how Xiao Mo is now." Song Haitao's words pulled Jiang Yan back to her thoughts.
Jiang Yan collected the last storage rack, "Doctor, I have a hunch that he should be fine."
She even felt that Mo Jingsheng had predicted in advance that Mo Zhongcheng and Mo Shuaifeng had brought her to the AS area, and later ejected her from the Yaoben base in the AS area.
However, isn't it a bit cruel for him to let his own sister bow down and join the game?
An hour and a half later, Jiang Yan, Song Haitao, and Sun Jingtao returned to the ground.
It was already dark.
Zhao Yougong and his team cut a lot of pine branches and came back.
The sled and the supplies on the sled were also moved into the house.
The broken glass on the ground was swept away.
Kong Wu and Qin Lang found some broken bricks from somewhere and built a simple stove behind the windproof pillar.
"The supplies in the canteen and dormitory next door have been looted, and the wooden doors have been removed, but we found this." Song Qian was holding a large black pot and a spatula, as well as half a bag of salt and chicken essence:
"We should be able to have a good meal tonight."
"There's salt!" Lin Xiaohui's eyes, which were originally a little tired, suddenly lit up, as if she had seen gold.
"Today we have successfully completed the relocation. How about eating the musk ox tonight? Eat some beef, and everyone can replenish themselves?" Zhao Yougong said with a smile, and subconsciously looked at Song Haitao and Jiang Yan.
The whole team didn't say who was the leader.
But when everyone encountered a problem, they would subconsciously ask for their opinions.
Song Haitao smiled and nodded, "I have no problem. Although there is enough food now, I suggest you reserve some. But let's have a big meal tonight."
"Okay, I'm going to slaughter the cow!" Zhao Yougong heard it, and happily carried an axe and walked towards the musk ox that had already frozen.
Lin Xiaohui took out her scalpel and said happily, "Honey, I'll go help you!"
Su Dai was stunned, "Doctor Lin, you don't need a scalpel to slaughter a cow, right?"
"I'm responsible for solving the cowhide problem." Lin Xiaohui said with a smile.
Zhao Yougong paused when he heard it, "Then we have to boil some water first to remove the ice from the outside of the cow."
"Leave the boiling water to me." Kong Wu volunteered to stand up, picked up the big pot and walked out.
Sun Jingtao followed with an emergency light, "I'll go with you. We can't get into the black snow below."
