The off-white saltpeter is of extremely high purity, and it is not difficult to unload the truck if there is storage space.
It took a little time, and all the saltpeter was transported to the safe warehouse on the second floor for storage.
This time, based on the previous manufacturing efficiency, the saltpeter can produce tens of thousands of bullets, greatly replenishing the currently empty strategic reserves in the shelter.
He clapped his hands with satisfaction and walked down the stairs to the first floor again.
"The next task is... to develop all the five acres of black land that have been opened up, so that we can sow a batch of seeds before the disaster!"
Time waits for no one, and every day of a catastrophe is a torment, and life is filled with fear.
But in the face of a welfare disaster, there is not enough time at all, and we have to race against time to complete a series of basic tasks.
He took out the diesel reserves in the base, filled them up with King Kong, and headed for the black land with Oreo in his car, one man and one dog.
The snow layer is very thick and provides natural nutrients and moisture.
Controlling King Kong, Somo walked and shoveled all the way, relying on the bucket of the excavator to successfully open up a dirt road from the shelter to the black earth.
On the four-kilometer road that separates the two places, a straight line suddenly appears on the snow, which looks spectacular.
At first, Oreo was still sitting in the cockpit, curiously watching Somo control the bucket and keep working.
Later, the itchy Oreo got out of the car and followed King Kong barking and running all the way, extremely happy.
After being taught the key points of the excavator by a master at the training ground, Somo has now become more and more proficient in controlling this big thing.
It didn't take much effort to drive to the black land covering an area of about five acres.
Even if it is covered with snow, you can still see exposed dark brown land on some high slopes, symbolizing unparalleled fertility.
After getting out of the car, he measured the general scope of the black land with his feet and hands. After returning to the car, Somo continued his hard and focused work.
The days in the wasteland are always short but fulfilling.
With no enemies and no super disasters on their heads, all human beings were shocked to find that not only were they no longer idle, but they were even busier than before!
Whether it's a lone wolf, a small shelter, or even a large shelter.
All human beings have taken action spontaneously, hoping to clear a fertile land for planting plants before the next welfare disaster comes.
As for the price of seeds on the trading market, it has been speculated to a sky-high price at this time.
I still remember that when Soma exchanged seeds for the first time, he only used a bottle of water to exchange for various seeds that were completely useless in the eyes of others.
In the eyes of those people at that time, these seeds could neither be eaten nor planted, and were even less valuable than a unit of stone on the ground.
This is also the reason why Soma can be purchased at such a low price.
But now, after the next welfare disaster broke out and everyone received the planting buff, seed prices suddenly skyrocketed like a pig on the edge of the wind.
What, a small packet of tomato seeds? Are you selling me a large piece of bread? Do you still want to buy it? Unless I am a fool, I will go... Okay, buy it, you shady businessman!
What, a kilogram of spring wheat seeds, you sell me a gun and 50 rounds of ammunition? Are you crazy? Well, I am crazy!
Any seeds with any nutritional value are being snapped up by the market.
Even some fruit tree seeds that often take several years have not been spared by these "irrational" players. Once new seeds are released, they will be immediately taken away by the large shelter.
The seed market has entered an extremely vicious cycle. In the eyes of some speculative people, it is more like a large market that can be manipulated, allowing them to easily earn unimaginable amounts of materials!
And in this process, the status of the Chinese people is like sesame blossoms, rising steadily!
As long as there are Chinese people in the refuge, even if the person in power is of another race, looking at the Chinese people at this time, his eyes will shine!
Without him!
With buffs, every Chinese person is an unparalleled treasure, a super treasure that can produce three or even five times the productivity!
Opening up land? No, no, no, leave that to others!
Dig the ground? No, no, no, leave these to others too!
All the Chinese people were shocked to find that in this process, they only had to do one thing!
Throw the seeds into the dug hole, bury them with a shovel, and you're done!
This sudden change in status left these people confused at first, but after some clever people woke up, a wave of worshiping the god "Suma" once again set off in the wasteland.
Of course, Sumo, who was working hard, didn't know this trend.
But even if you know that, your personal efforts are still too weak to maintain any order in the face of a market that can easily reach billions.
However, what Su Mo didn't expect was that far away in the tundra refuge, Su Chan did not follow his instructions and keep a low profile...
...
"Sister Shen Ke, is that Somo you mentioned really powerful? I see that many people in our shelter want to worship him when they get up in the morning! Just like..."
"It's as if Somo is dead! It's so grand!"
With her mouth pursed, Su Chan followed Shen Ke like a follower, chirping.
"You little girl, don't let other people hear what I'm saying. Otherwise, sister, I won't be able to protect you. I have to let them poke you in the back, so that this matter can be revealed!"
"Suma... Sumo is the hero of our Chinese people and our lucky star. You, you just came here and you don't know it yet!"
Hearing Su Chan's words, Shen Ke turned around helplessly, pointed his jade finger on Su Chan's head, and said seriously.
"Sister Shen Ke, don't you like Somo too?"
Looking at Shen Ke's appearance, Su Chan opened her mouth and made an exaggerated look, which immediately caused Shen Ke to shudder!
"Don't bullshit me. Sumo is the hero of us Chinese people, and of course he is also my idol! We have never met, so how can we say we like him!"
Seeing Shen Ke's cover-up, Su Chan touched her head and laughed with a thoughtful look.
"Brother is actually so charming!"
"Humph, but I look down on me too much. He himself has become the number one person in the world, and he still allows me to swallow my anger and become a nobody."
"We also have the skills to support ourselves, okay!"
Following Shen Ke, the two of them soon arrived at an open-air field that covered an area of about two to three hundred square meters and was surrounded by fences.
In the center of the field, there are some small animals captured by humans.
"No, it's up to you!" Facing the little animal, Shen Ke pursed her lips and looked like she was watching your performance.
The next moment, in Shen Ke's slightly shocked eyes, Su Chan seemed to have a glimmer of light on her body.
The little animals that were still jumping around in the field seemed to be inspired, ran over quickly, and gathered together obediently.
Among these animals, there are herbivorous snowshoe hares, jumping silly roe deer, and three or four lazy snow sheep.
On weekdays, after being captured, these animals ignore the grass blades on the ground and the young stems brought back by humans.
But at this moment, under the guidance of Su Chan, all the animals got the instructions and began to happily eat the grass leaves piled aside.
This scene naturally made Shen Ke's beautiful eyes flash.
"It's so amazing that someone actually has such great luck."
"You can get proficiency in bestiality from an ordinary treasure chest, and you can also attract these animals with your personality. The animal breeding plan of the shelter can finally be launched!"
...
"Olio, why don't you understand what I'm saying? I said, go back and bring me a shovel!"
"That's it...that's it!"
After clearing most of the snow on the black soil, Somo sat in front of the black soil, dancing and gesticulating to the Oreo next to him.
But even though Oreo had the IQ of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old human being, at this moment, the difference in her thinking made her twist her head, with confusion in her big eyes.
"Woof?"
"Woo?"
"Okay, okay, I know you only remembered the food. I'll go back and get it myself. I can't count on you!"
After taking out the psionic water and drinking a few sips to regain his strength, Somo looked at Oreo's naughty look and had no choice but to walk back to the base to get the tools.
All the floating snow has been cleared away.
Just use a shovel to deal with the corners and use the excavator bucket to plow the ground, and the land can be sown quickly.
We went back and forth until all the land was processed and it was getting dark in the evening.
Driving the excavator and looking at the neat black land behind him, Sumo smiled with satisfaction.
That is to say, one has mechanical power to process so much land in just one day, and can also dig out saltpeter along the way.
If it were another base, it would be impossible to complete such a huge amount of work without two or three days!
He drove the excavator back to the base and put it away, closed the garage door and the stone door in turn, and finished dinner hastily. Sumo started busy preparing ammunition again, while studying the details of tomorrow's cooperation with the Candlelight Shelter in the west.
One day's rush has made Sumo fully understand how difficult it is to plant a piece of land.
Let’s not talk about clearing snow and plowing the ground. Just using a shovel to clean up debris on the land is a troublesome task. Not counting these, think about digging holes, controlling plant density, planting, and harvesting...
Somo's head is getting bigger!
"Although I grew up in a rural area, I have never farmed in this land. Starting from scratch, it would be better to outsource it directly. I will make a big profit and let others make a small profit."
Somo was already familiar with this process of preparing nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and finally making guncotton.
While the first wave of collodion was being prepared and cooling and solidifying, the general details of the transaction and cooperation had slowly begun to take shape in Sumo's mind.
