Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhong Ping didn't know either, and his expression was heavy and confused.
"Maybe ten years, twenty years, or maybe fifty or sixty years. No one knows the exact date."
I was having a happy New Year, but when I heard Zhong Ping say that, I felt like my heart was struck hard.
Jiang Ning asked, "Is the world facing the extreme cold we are experiencing now?"
"Different geography, longitude and latitude mean that disasters cannot be the same, but researchers speculate that due to unstable weather, various disasters will only intensify, that is, droughts will become more severe, floods will become more severe, and in some areas, the desert may even turn into an ocean."
Desert turns into ocean? Everyone is horrified.
Seeing the low mood on the 18th floor, Zhong Ping said quickly, "But we don't have to be pessimistic. We have to believe in the power of the country. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has already taken action. In addition to developing cold-resistant crops, they are also working day and night to study heat and drought resistance."
Jiang Ning was surprised, "Fengcheng Agricultural Science Academy?"
This was something that had never happened in the previous life. Scientific researchers had to chase after natural disasters, and many of them died suddenly from exhaustion.
Could it be that the letter she sent out was really taken seriously?
"Fengcheng Academy of Agricultural Sciences is too busy to handle it, so it is a joint research and development with coastal cities."
Zhong Ping was busy with work all day, so he didn't know much about the details, but he was more informed than ordinary people. "The Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences is developing crops that are resistant to high temperatures and drought, Pengcheng specializes in flood crops, and Huicheng is committed to reducing soil acidity..."
All cities are working tirelessly, sharing technological achievements and working together to fight natural disasters, hoping to survive them safely.
Jiang Ning was touched. These had never happened in his previous life.
Maybe there is, but the research was not successful. Or maybe it was successful, but she, like an ant, could not reach it.
In any case, now that we have the seeds of the cold-resistant experimental varieties, we will know the outcome after trying them out.
Grandma Zhong comforted the young people, "Our country is very strong, and you are still young. As long as you work hard and don't give up, the prosperity will return."
The old man's open-mindedness comforted the anxious Zheng Weili and others.
"Thanks to grandma's good words, we will be fine."
"No matter what happens tomorrow, let's have a happy New Year's Eve dinner today." Grandma Zhong stood up with a smile, "Grandma is here to wish you young people happiness and joy, and that you will have enough food every meal and have meat every time."
"Grandma is in good health and may she live a long life."
After seeing Grandma Zhong off, everyone put aside the New Year’s Eve dinner for the time being and discussed how to grow cold-resistant potatoes.
It is not realistic to plant the three crops separately and provide lighting separately.
"How about you do the planting, Aning? We have no experience so we'll just be in charge of generating electricity. You'll have the planting pots and soil, and you'll provide the plants with light at night. If there's a harvest, you'll get the lion's share?"
Jiang Ning weighed the potato. Although it was small in size, it had many sprouts and could be cut into five or six pieces.
"I have planters and soil, but there is no room on the balcony. Besides, I have dogs and rabbits at home. They might eat them up one day."
"You come and plant them on my balcony." Huo Yishen said, "You can come and check them when the time comes, so that any problems can be discovered in time."
The decision was made happily. In 1803, they prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen planted potatoes.
After returning home, Jiang Ning took out the space planting pot and harvested the second crop of potatoes.
Then go to 1801 and place the planter on the balcony.
The balcony windows of 1801 are also covered with one-way spy film, so it is not clear from the outside, but it can still be discovered if the lights are turned on. "
Huo Yi thought deeply and said, "We can add some light during the day, or install blackout curtains."
Well, this little thing won't bother him.
The two of them poured out all the soil from the planting pots, sprinkled antifreeze on it and stirred it evenly with a shovel.
It's amazing, the soil is not frozen, but a little fluffy.
Jiang Ning took out a knife and taught Huo Yi how to make a deep cut at the bud point.
The potato skin is very thick, hard and difficult to cut. There is a lot of starch inside, but the thick veins are visible to the naked eye.
It's good for filling up your stomach, but it definitely doesn't taste good.
Jiang Ning said mischievously, "Try it."
Huo Yishen really cut a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, then frowned.
"You're really honest. You really tried it when I asked you to." Jiang Ning burst out laughing. "How does it taste?"
"It's very hard, rough and stringy, and tastes very bitter." Huo Yi glanced at her, "It's not as delicious as the ones you grow."
Ah, this... I suddenly feel a little embarrassed. What’s going on?
Unexpectedly, Huo Yishen took the knife from her hand and lowered his head to cut potatoes.
Jiang Ning was preparing medicine and putting the cut potatoes into the basin to soak.
The soup needs to be soaked for three hours, and the two of them did not go to 1803 to help. Thinking that they would have to be the chef later, they simply practiced in the living room.
Yes, it is rolling, even on New Year’s Eve.
It was almost time, Jiang Ning taught Huo Yi how to plant potatoes deep.
He, who was usually taciturn, suddenly asked, "Aning, you seem to know everything?"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "A child without parents holding an umbrella for him can only run as fast as he can to avoid being caught in the rain. He has to run faster than normal people to survive."
Huo Yishen wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry."
"Nothing." Jiang Ning laughed at himself. "I was sad sometimes when I was little, but now I am glad that I can live a free and easy life without any burden."
"In fact, you are not alone, there are people who care about you."
"Well, as friends, Zhang Chao and his friends are really excellent and can tolerate my bad temper."
Huo Yi was puzzled, "Bad temper?"
Jiang Ning asked back, "Don't you think I have a bad personality?"
"Why do you think so?" Huo Yishen's eyes fell on her, with a barely perceptible smile in his eyes, "I think you're pretty good."
There were no outsiders around, so Jiang Ning asked tentatively, "Don't you think it's selfish of me to have firewood and vegetables in my space but not share them with Lu Yu and the others?"
"This is an opportunity that belongs to you alone. It is up to you to decide whether you are willing to share it."
Huo Yi thought deeply, "People's hearts are like tigers. If the situation continues to get worse, let alone friends and classmates, even cannibalism will not be surprising. How can you guarantee that people's hearts will not change?
Your space can be used for planting, so sharing it with Lu Yu and the others may be fine, but if they encounter bad weather and want to take shelter and rest in the space, and you want to save it for later use, what will you do then?"
It is difficult to satisfy everyone, and conflicts will accumulate over time.
Huo Yishen didn't think Jiang Ning did anything wrong. "That's fine."
Very good? What do you mean!
Jiang Ning couldn't see through him and wondered how to respond.
"Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret." Huo Yishen suddenly looked up at her, "Everyone has secrets. If I tell you mine, will you not be as wary of me as you are now?"
Jiang Ning looked silly, "..."
