The pesticides sent from the Spark Base are placed in the White Building.
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi went to have a look after breakfast.
Yan Xinian had talked about this with the person in charge of pesticides and fertilizers in the White Building yesterday.
After they came over, the person in the White Building gave them a key and let them go in directly.
Xia Lunong looked at the simple warehouse and muttered, "It seems a bit simple."
As soon as Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi opened the door, they smelled a strong smell of fertilizer.
This smell of fertilizer was too pungent, which was a disaster for their keen sense of smell. As soon as the two opened the door, they were almost knocked over by this smell.
Xia Lunong rubbed his nose. The smell was so sharp that it even stung his nasal cavity.
Kong Zhi was not very comfortable either, but he was more tolerant and did not rub his nose.
He turned to look at Xia Lunong's red nose and frowned, "You go out first, I'll take the seeds out for you to see."
Xia Lunong pulled up her turtleneck sweater, covered her nose and said slowly, "It's not that exaggerated, you'll get used to it after smelling it for a while."
Kong Zhi patted his shoulder and didn't persuade him anymore.
Xia Lunong's eyes were bright, looking at the pesticides and fertilizers placed high and low on the wooden shelves, and exclaimed, "The Fire Base must have rebuilt the industrial system."
"Maybe." Kong Zhi glanced at the fertilizer and found that the packaging on it said compound fertilizer, "Look at the ingredient list on the back."
"Okay." Xia Lunong took a look, "Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium... It seems to be a regular fertilizer."
Before the disaster, Xia Lunong studied art, which had nothing to do with agriculture.
He himself had no hobby of growing flowers and vegetables before the catastrophe, and was not familiar with this field. He didn't even know what conventional fertilizers were. It was only after reading some books in the past year that he had a general understanding.
Now even if he saw the ingredient list, it was useless for him, and he couldn't analyze these compound fertilizers from the ingredients.
He couldn't understand the chemical fertilizers very well, and as for the pesticides next to them, it was even more useless.
Pesticides require more academic knowledge, and he couldn't understand them at all.
Xia Lunong didn't understand, even though he was very interested, he could only put it aside for the time being. After turning around, he looked at the seeds.
He was much more familiar with seeds than pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
As soon as he saw those seeds, he knew that they were all very good seeds.
Regardless of the variety, at least each of these seeds was full and full of vitality, and it seemed that there was no problem with thriving growth.
Xia Lunong saw the seeds in the transparent plastic box and couldn't help but reach out to take it down, pour it into the palm of his hand, and look at it carefully.
"Rice seeds, wheat seeds, corn seeds, hey, there are potato seeds here..." Xia Lunong counted them one by one, "There are also rapeseed seeds and peanut seeds. The Fire Base is so good to us."
Xia Lunong's eyes were shining, and he suddenly understood why his brother and his former brother had such a strong impression of the Fire Base.
The Fire Base was too real, and it didn't give them any empty promises.
Xia Lunong and his friends had also gone to other bases to exchange seeds before.
Whether it was Yacheng or the Black Gold Base, they kept a strict watch on the seeds they cultivated and tried their best to ensure that they would not leak out. If
they wanted to get any seeds, they had to buy them at a high price on the black market.
Xia Lunong had found mutated wheat seeds in Yacheng before.
When he saw it, he pretended to find nothing and bought it with other excuses.
Other bases guarded their seeds very strictly, and their base was not much better.
Even to the members inside the base, Xia Lunong and his team were not completely open.
Xia Lunong touched the seeds one by one, sighed and said, "In terms of broad-mindedness, we are indeed not as good as the Spark Base."
Kong Zhi said, "When you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and when you are rich, you should help the world. This is also common. Once we get through this difficult period, everything will be fine."
Xia Lunong touched his chest and said, "Then let's strive to be the kind of person who helps the world when we are rich."
Kong Zhi put his arm around his shoulders and said, "I will work hard with you. Let's go and take the seeds outside to have a look. The smell here is too pungent. It would be bad if you hurt your nose."
Xia Lunong didn't have any objection. He said, "Let's take the rice and wheat seeds out first. I'm most curious about these two kinds of seeds."
These two kinds of seeds are related to people's livelihood. If the seeds are fine, they will start planting next year. They will try planting them first so that they will have experience when they officially plant next year.
Rice seeds and wheat seeds were each in a bag.
They didn't take all the seeds out, but just grabbed a handful of each and took them outside to look at.
The more Xia Lunong looked at the two kinds of seeds, the more he liked them. He weighed them in his palm and said to Kong Zhi, "I'll take a few seeds of each crop back, and we'll start planting today."
Kong Zhi said, "Do you want to induce growth directly, or follow the normal growth process?"
"Try both. I'll induce growth first, and then follow the normal growth process." Xia Lunong looked at the seeds in his palm and said eagerly, "I don't know what they will look like when they grow out. Let's go to the field to dig some soil later."
Kong Zhi glanced out the window. It snowed a little last night. He said, "It's so cold now. Will it be difficult to succeed?"
"It shouldn't be that serious, we are planting indoors. Besides, with my special ability, even if the temperature will have an impact on the crops, it will not be a decisive impact."
Xia Lunong took a plastic bag after making the decision, and took out ten seeds of the same crop, ready to take them back for cultivation.
These are public seeds, and when he took them, he specifically told the person in charge of managing the seeds in the white building.
The person in the white building let him go back after registering.
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi went out in the wind, discussing taking a detour to get mud from the fields.
As soon as they walked out of the white building, a voice came from behind, "Xiao Nong, Kong Zhi, wait a minute!"
Xia Lunong turned around subconsciously and saw Yan Mingqing standing on the second floor, waving his hand and calling them.
Xia Lunong also waved her hands, put her hands to her mouth to make a trumpet shape, and shouted to Yan Mingqing: "Professor Yan, what do you want to talk to us about?"
"Did you take the seeds back to plant?"
"Yes, we also took ten seeds and plan to plant them back." Xia Lunong specifically held up the seeds to show him, "We didn't take extra."
"Where are you planting?" Yan Mingqing shouted, "Have you got the pesticides and fertilizers? These are the matching pesticides and fertilizers. Using the matching pesticides and fertilizers to plant these seeds will have better results."
Xia Lunong smiled and said, "We are just trying it out to see the specific conditions of this batch of seeds. I'm not very familiar with pesticides and fertilizers, so I won't use them for now to avoid waste. My special abilities are enough." Yan Mingqing shouted
, "How can that be possible? Since we are doing an experiment, you should strive to do it to the best of your ability. Hey, it's too tiring to shout, I'll come down and talk to you."
The professor was in his forties or fifties, and his health was not as good as that of young people. It was indeed uncomfortable for him to shout in the wind.
Xia Lunong was considerate and said, "You wait there for a while, let's go upstairs. It's a good opportunity for us to get the pesticides and fertilizers."
Yan Mingqing panted and said, "Okay, then you go upstairs first, I'll talk to you when you get upstairs."
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi went upstairs again after hearing what he said.
Xia Lunong saw Yan Mingqing standing alone in the wind, looking lonely, and felt sorry for him, so she asked, "Today is the 29th day of the lunar year, Professor Yan, you are not going home to prepare for the New Year today?"
Yan Mingqing wiped his glasses and said, "There is nothing to do if I go back, so why not stay here and work overtime to sort out the pesticides and fertilizers. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi followed him and returned to the seed and fertilizer storage room.
Yan Mingqing is an expert in agriculture. Compared with Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi, who were helpless, he knew all about these pesticides and fertilizers.
Yan Mingqing took the two of them to the front of each pesticide and fertilizer, and quickly introduced the uses and effects of all the pesticides and fertilizers.
After listening to his explanation, Xia Lunong showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
These high-tech things are indeed different when explained by professionals or not.
After Yan Mingqing finished his explanation, he said, "Your special ability is very useful, but sometimes technology is also very useful. I suggest you try to mix them together."
Xia Lunong nodded seriously, "You are right, I was too arrogant before. Let's go back and plant the seeds first. If there is any need, I will come back to apply for some pesticides and fertilizers to take back."
Yan Mingqing said, "I am just making a suggestion. I have talked to Captain Yan and I am in charge of this now. If you encounter any difficulties, you should What pesticides and fertilizers to use? I'll be waiting for you in the office upstairs anytime."
Yan Mingqing asked again, "Where will you plant the seeds after you take them back? Plant them at home?"
Xia Lunong nodded, "It's too cold outside now. Even if the New Year is coming soon, it will take another half a month for the weather to really warm up. I'll try planting them at home in flower pots first."
Yan Mingqing couldn't help but suggest after hearing what he said, "In that case, why don't you consider using a greenhouse for planting?"
Xia Lunong was stunned.
He didn't have the concept of using a greenhouse for planting in his mind!
He looked at the seeds in his hand and asked, "Can these seeds be planted in the same greenhouse?"
"Why not? Most seeds grow at similar temperatures, and even if you grow them at home, you're still growing them in the same house." Yan Mingqing said, "Don't you have a large open space in your yard? You're not growing anything there now, are you? If you build a greenhouse and add a temperature control system, it won't be a big deal."
Xia Lunong just didn't think of using a greenhouse for growing seeds before, but now that he said that, she felt it made sense, and immediately said, "This requires a relatively high level of technology, and we don't know how to do it, so we have to trouble you."
Yan Mingqing said, "I have no problem with planting technology, but I'm not familiar with the facilities."
Kong Zhi said in a deep voice, " "Leave the facilities to me. I'll look for relevant information and I should be able to figure it out."
Xia Lunong happily put her arm around his shoulder, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. I'll leave the greenhouse and temperature control facilities to you. Professor Yan, you'll be the general commander."
Yan Mingqing said, "The materials are in the White Building. I'll write a note and we'll go get them together. Commanding is no problem, but..."
Xia Lunong knew what he was hesitating about. Before he finished speaking, she decisively took over the conversation and said, "I'll take care of it from my brother. He won't say anything."
The three of them hit it off and immediately went back to the house to get the tools and materials.
The plastic sheet and temperature control parts were quite heavy, and it was difficult for them to carry them with their bare hands, so they rented a small tricycle.
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi swiftly moved all the parts onto the back of the tricycle, helped Yan Mingqing onto it, and drove the tricycle home.
When they got home, the house was empty, and the two brothers had not returned yet.
Xia Lunong took a look inside the house and rolled up his sleeves, "Then let's build this plastic greenhouse now. If we are fast, we should be able to finish it today."
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi are both young men, especially Kong Zhi.
He is strong and agile, and he can build the plastic greenhouse very quickly.
The three of them didn't even have time to eat lunch. They ate some fried meatballs and lotus root dumplings in a hurry and continued to work.
When Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu came, their greenhouse had been built for the most part.
Yan Xinian was shocked, "Wow, it's already New Year's Eve, you're still working on this greenhouse, why don't you wait until after the New Year?"
"Today's work is done today, there are things to do after the New Year." Xia Lunong patted his lower back, pulled his brother, and said in a low voice. "Brother, let's ask Professor Yan to help build the greenhouse, and he will help guide the crops when they grow in the future."
Xia Huoqu took a look and said, "Just keep it in mind."
"Hey!" Xia Lunong narrowed his eyes, "Brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Xia Huoqu didn't say much, and built the plastic greenhouse with them.
After the plastic greenhouse was built, the soil in the yard was not fertile enough, so they went to the field and dug two truckloads of soil, evenly spread it in the greenhouse, and then sprinkled the fertilizer sent by the Fire Seed Base as base fertilizer.
From then on, everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
Xia Lunong will scatter the seeds later, add some water, and use her supernatural powers, and the seeds will germinate today.
Xia Lunong was full of enthusiasm, "I'll go get the seeds now and scatter them, and see how the crops grown in the soil are!"
Xia Huo said, "Do you need our help?"
Xia Lunong shook her head, "No, Kong Zhi and I will finish it soon."
Xia Huo said, "Then let's go back to the house and prepare vegetable dumplings. Professor Yan, you can come too, it will be more lively with more people."
Yan Mingqing didn't expect that he would invite him. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Hey!"
Xia Lunong looked up and shouted, "I want cabbage and pork stuffing!"
"It's ready." Xia Huo said, "Plant the seeds first, and I'll prepare the stuffing."
Xia Lunong's eyes curved, showing her little white teeth, "Got it!"
