Location: Longhua District, Shenzhen City, in a warehouse of more than 200 square meters in a remote location.
With a tearing sound of "Bah!", Hu Biao used brute force to tear open the packet of edible salt in his hand.
Then, he poured a handful of snow-white iodized salt directly into a large plastic bucket at hand; and in such a large bucket that can hold hundreds of kilograms of things, such salt is already filled with three
That's half the amount.
But in the following time, another twenty or thirty packets of salt were poured into the vat.
Hu Biao, as if having a fit, added at least two kilograms of river sand from another big bag into the big bucket.
Then he used a big wooden stick in his hand and started mixing it in the big bucket.
Soon after, what was originally a bucket of good iodized salt was turned into a ball of inferior quality that was slightly black in color and mixed with sand.
Of course, when Hu Biao did this, it was definitely not because he had a hole in his head, nor because he was mentally distorted after being idle.
Isn't this Hu Biao thinking, there are still three or four days before he will go to the end of the world?
Last time, Hu Biao had a huge psychological shadow over the yellow-brown salt blocks that tasted rich and bitter to the indigenous people.
Those so-called salt blocks are all indigenous people from Baiyun Mountain.
It took a lot of time and energy to process it by boiling sea water and boiling salt. It is said that it took a lot of effort to get this treasure.
So what! As the North and South Poles and a large number of glaciers on land melted, and finally poured into the ocean, the sea water was naturally greatly diluted.
But such dilution is not a good thing, because the sea water is still salty now, but it is just not as salty as before.
So diluted seawater is a very troublesome thing.
First of all, these things still cannot be used for drinking. If you do so forcefully, you will only die of dehydration; they are also too salty and cannot be used to water crops.
Even in the modern dimension, the great Mr. Yuan had already developed the saltwater rice planting technology a few years ago.
But following a huge war and catastrophe, such a magical skill that was equivalent to saving lives in the end of the world has been completely lost long ago.
Secondly, such diluted seawater greatly increased the difficulty for the surviving indigenous people to obtain daily necessities such as salt.
Don’t think that the temperature in the Baiyun Mountain area often reaches an astonishing 50 degrees during the day.
In this way, the ancient technique of drying salt can be carried out without any difficulty.
In fact, sun salting has very high requirements on the site. It not only requires the local geology to be a silt tidal flat, so that seawater will not penetrate into the ground.
In the process of doing this, you also need a fairly broad flat terrain, which is enough to carry out the salt drying operation.
However, the large area of flat terrain is extremely valuable in this year, especially in the Baiyun Mountain area.
As a result, the indigenous people could only use limited fuel and use various large pots to boil the low-salinity seawater; often hundreds of kilograms of seawater were boiled to get a small amount of salt.
The above are not the most critical issues.
The most critical issue is that although Hu Biao has not personally measured it with a Geiger counter, he is absolutely certain that there must be radiation in these seawaters.
In other words, it is a question of whether the radiation value is fatal to modern people.
The reason is too simple. Not to mention other places, there is a notorious nuclear power plant in Fukushima, an island country not too far away.
After these nuclear power plants were soaked in water, it would be strange not to pollute the sea water.
So when Hu Biao came back last time, he made up his mind that when he went there this time, he must bring enough safe salt with him.
Not only to eat it for yourself, but also to provide it to the natives under you, so that they can live a few more years.
If there are more, of course it will be used as a hard currency commodity to be traded with the surrounding indigenous people. I think this business must be quite easy.
However, things like purchasing salt are very easy to solve.
In such a large Pearl River Delta region, Hu Biao bought 1 ton of salt under the guise of purchasing it for a factory canteen. The merchants in the wholesale market were not surprised at all.
However, the prompt given by the system was too valuable to be carried and sent over.
But if you unpack the exquisite packaging one by one and add a little sand inside, it will immediately meet the system's standards for cheating.
The so-called lesser of two evils, between eating salt mixed with sand or eating salt with radiation and weird taste, Hu Biao chose the former without hesitation.
Even such a choice is destined to accidentally eat a mouth full of sand in the future...
It took Hu Biao a whole day to mix one ton of salt with sand.
Then, he put the salt into plastic bags one by one and sealed them. He really had no intention of doing such a complicated operation.
Just holding a brand new plastic bucket with a capacity of 25 liters, one person filled 36 buckets, and one ton of salt was finished.
This not only saves a lot of time, but also brings this brand-new plastic bucket to the post-apocalyptic world where even a mineral water bottle is considered an important material. It is probably considered a strategic material.
After doing all this, Hu Biao drove back and went to sleep.
It should be noted that in order to facilitate the purchase of materials in the future, Hu Biao purchased his first serious, four-wheeled private car.
It was a second-hand Great Wall pickup truck. It could carry people and haul goods. Apart from not being very dignified when driving out, it was actually quite convenient.
******
In this way, in the next few days, Hu Biao went to prepare some miscellaneous things, all of which he planned to take to the doomsday world.
Among such a pile of materials, the most important one is 5 tons of various seeds.
These are the most critical and some gadgets in the plan to grow crops.
Specifically, there are two tons of hybrid corn seeds, one ton of sweet potato seeds, one ton of potato seeds, and 0.5 tons of sorghum seeds.
They are all modern varieties that are drought-resistant, high-yielding, and have relatively strong disease prevention capabilities.
In addition to the above-mentioned bulk seeds that are planned to be planted on a large scale, the remaining 0.5 tons of seeds are of all kinds.
There are seeds of food crops such as rice and wheat, as well as fruits such as watermelon, tomatoes, and papayas, and even vegetable seeds such as Chinese cabbage, lettuce, and lettuce.
Adding up the bits and pieces, there are a total of 50 kinds.
Anyway, the quantity of each type is not too much, so I asked Hu Biao to take them there and plant them in a small area before experimenting.
After all, no one in the Zhongzhou team has any experience in planting in the apocalyptic world. They don't know which crops can be planted and which ones have higher yields.
So I adopted the method of casting a wide net and tried some planting experiments.
In order to bring these things over, Hu Biao also adopted some methods of mixing sand.
Because such a workload was too heavy, he also hired a group of Sanhe masters who were paid daily to help. It took a total of two days of work to complete it.
After doing all this, it's time to teleport to the doomsday world.
Still in such a warehouse that night, Hu Biao got into a Foton pickup truck.
When the system's transmission countdown started ringing in his head, Hu Biao quickly moved away a few large rocks that were placed under the wheels, and quickly jumped into the cab.
Then the truck stopped on an artificial ramp and slowly drove towards the low-slope portal.
So what! Of course, a intact truck cannot be teleported, but there is no problem if it is replaced by a broken old truck; even if such a truck needs a little repair, it can start running again.
The premise is that there is a road for them to use in the doomsday world and they can find enough fuel.
In this way, Hu Biao started another journey to the apocalyptic world.
At the same time, members of the Zhongzhou team carrying various other supplies began a new journey using the same method of carrying supplies.
