Doudou worked very hard every day, watering the plants twice a day, but more than half of the grass and trees died in just a few days.
Apart from the high temperature and lack of water, the biggest problem is the soil.
Jiang Ning is not an agronomy expert, but he is optimistic. "Don't be afraid, there is still 50% left."
As a result, in broad daylight, crazy hail came.
"Bang, bang, bang," hitting the RV.
Jiang Ning felt sorry for the only house, so he immediately put it away with the people.
When he came out two hours later, the hail on the ground had almost melted.
A hailstorm killed another 30% of the grass and trees.
It was not that they were killed by the hail, but that they were still in the transplant period and were constantly attacked by extreme weather. They were unable to adapt to the roots.
Not to mention the grass and trees, even the human body could not stand it.
Jiang Ning cooked some herbs to regulate her body.
She was stubborn, and after all the plants had died, she planted another batch.
This time she learned a lesson, and was not in a hurry to plant in alkaline soil. Instead, she transplanted them into flower pots with the soil, took them out every day and left them for a few hours. When there was bad weather, she put them back in the pot.
Let them slowly adapt to the bad weather outside.
After raising them like this for ten days, she planted the plants and soil into the pit.
This time, 50% of the plants survived successfully.
But the growth was not very good, they were wilted and withered, and it felt like they could die at any time.
The germination rate of dandelions in the two plots was very low, and some of them always died inexplicably.
Jiang Ning's self-confidence was hit every day.
Huo Yi, on the other hand, was able to keep his composure. He repeatedly flipped through books to check information. "There are mulberry trees, cypress, wax gourd, and wheat in the space. They are just suitable for planting in saline-alkali land. We can give it a try."
It is impossible to determine whether this new land was land or seabed before. The soil is not salty, and the alkalinity should not be very high.
It was only because Jiang Ning had abundant resources that he could withstand repeated waste.
So, the third batch of planting plans started.
The situation is slightly better, but the survival rate is still very low. The wilted ones who survived are frustrating to look at.
Fortunately, Snow White and the cubs managed to survive. They overcame the unfamiliarity with the local climate and gradually regained their vitality.
When the weather is mild in the morning and evening, the ruthless couple will take the three little ones to run on the hilltop.
"Oh...oh..."
Jiang Ning spent his time planting, and more than a month had passed before the plants were planted and settled.
At sunset, the two went for a walk on the beach.
As Jiang Ning walked, he looked back from time to time to see the distance, "Has the mountain grown taller again?"
When he first came, it was three or four hundred meters away from the sea, but now it feels farther.
Huo Yishen pointed to the rocks in the distance, "It's possible."
The last time he came, the reef was right by the sea, but now it is more than 50 meters away from the sea.
Not being a geologist, he couldn't tell whether the mountain was rising or the sea was receding.
He lives and works in the RV, but he still feels it occasionally.
He doesn't know if his body has gotten used to it, or if the vibration is too slight.
Jiang Ning stood on the reef and looked into the distance. There was still an endless sea, and behind her were continuous mountain peaks.
Yes, in just one month, more mountains were exposed. It
is true that the environment is bad, but as long as the land is still there, hope will spread.
She planted a few cypresses by the reef, and after watering, she placed a handful of fertilizer next to it.
Facing the setting sun, walking quietly by the sea, her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of green.
A weed.
It was only half an inch of grass, but the seaside was relatively humid, so it grew well.
It should be the seeds that several people sowed on the mountain more than a month ago, and were later carried to the seaside by the wind.
It was just a weed, but it made Jiang Ning in a good mood, and she had a big meal in the evening.
This barren land is finally covered with grass!
The first phase of the planting plan has come to an end for the time being.
Jiang Ning is interested in the endless mountaintops and wants to know where they end.
The sun is scorching during the day, so he goes out at dawn.
His legs are limited, and he gets tired after walking up and down the hills for less than half an hour.
Jiang Ning takes out the Predator.
He cuts his way through the mountains and moves forward bravely, rushing up the peaks.
It is really fuel-consuming, but it is really exciting.
After driving for half an hour, he sees a high peak in the distance. Without any hesitation, Jiang Ning says, "Go up!"
So he leaves no trace along the way.
The Predator roars up and successfully reaches the top of the mountain.
The three get out of the car and are shocked by the scene before them.
This is a circular mountain, with a steep drop of hundreds of meters. Below is a bottomless sea... No, it should be called a lake now.
This mountain has many rocks, and soil erosion is not that serious. The mountain shape is steep, and the mountain range is like an arc, connecting to the low and long mountain on the other side.
Doudou was surprised, "We are already on the top of the mountain."
Jiang Ning smiled, "Maybe."
Maybe in a few decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, this mountain will be several kilometers above sea level.
It rained three times in more than a month, and the big lake below should have become a freshwater lake.
Jiang Ning scattered the mixed seeds in the bag.
There are tree seeds, grass seeds, and even medicinal seeds. Whether they can take root and sprout depends entirely on God's will.
The three of them used a high-powered telescope to look far away, and all they could see was endless brown.
The wind started to blow, and the dust was everywhere.
They did not move forward, but drove the Marauder back to the camp.
They scattered a handful of winter melon seeds, but only about twenty of them survived. The aunt and the sister-in-law carefully dug them up with the roots and soil, and planted them in different places. They scattered
a lot of wheat seeds, and even though the survival rate was not high, green sprouts grew in every pit.
After the harvest, wheat, corn, potato seedlings, etc. are all cleared out and buried in the soil as fertilizer.
As long as you have the patience to cultivate for two or three years, the barren land can become fertile.
Doudou is very serious about farming, and he commands the five cats in a methodical manner, "Cola, Snow White, you can't poop everywhere, if you want to poop, go to the fertilizer land."
The fruit peels are no exception, all are poured in.
With the growth of green seedlings, the roots can coil the soil, and the water evaporates less quickly.
The little bees are so busy that they can't stop, wanting to hatch chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry.
If there were only three people and a dog, the meat stored in the early years would be enough.
But the three little ones are almost adults, and Snow White's appetite is not small. They are all carnivores, and they are all gluttons, consuming a lot of meat a day.
The ruthless couple flirts with each other every day, and it feels like they can have a second child at any time...
If they reproduce indefinitely, all the gold and silver mountains will be squandered.
A bunch of wasteful things!
It's a pity that Jiang Ning is not a veterinarian, otherwise they must be sterilized.
Space can produce wheat, corn, etc., raising poultry is not a problem at all, but Doudou is serious about breeding.
"Sister-in-law, when the poultry hatches, I can raise maggots for them to eat, and they don't need food from space."
My God, the little bee has great ambitions, and we must fully support it.
Jiang Ning wanted to test her, "Doudou, how do you plan to raise maggots?"
