Chapter 11 The end of the second day in the wasteland
【Large vegetable culture medium (excellent)】
Area: 35 square meters (square water requirement 50ml/square meter/day)
Description: Slightly speed up the growth of vegetables, automatically pollinate, and the grade of the vegetables grown will not be lower than the grade of the culture medium.
Special ability: Condensed light sensing (as long as part of the culture medium receives light, the effect can be transmitted to all vegetables)
Comment: Master, look, there is a culture medium here. Xiao Min went to the culture medium to pick vegetables for the master to eat....
Seeing the properties of the culture medium, Sumo laughed. No wonder Brother Fengzi didn't have the confidence to continue asking for more money.
I'm afraid even he doesn't think that the daily water requirement of 1750ml after the culture medium is fully loaded is what people at this stage can provide.
What's more, if you use so much water to water vegetables, you might as well make more money by replacing it with water.
Sumo didn't care about this at all.
Sumo's keen observation skills made him notice the introduction of the properties of the culture medium.
The grade of cultivated vegetables will not be lower than excellent quality.
This attribute may seem a bit useless, but in Soma's hands, it is like an artifact.
As long as there are extra survival points, after investing in the culture medium to upgrade the quality, the vegetables will also be upgraded accordingly.
Think about the rare or higher level vegetables later.
The tears in Somo's eyes flowed out of his mouth.
Opening the trading panel, Sumo easily bought enough seeds for thirty-five square meters.
The prices for these seeds are also ridiculously low.
Only 10ml of water was used!
In the civilized era, what can 10ml of water do? Take the bottle cap of Nongfu Spring as an example, a bottle cap is close to 8ml.
Somo exchanged a bottle cap for a little more water for dozens of seeds. This was a huge discount compared to the price of buying and selling. Hua Tuo even shed tears when he came.
For two whole days, Sumo didn't eat a single shredded vegetable, and his mouth was almost like a bird.
The farming talent engraved in the ancient bloodline genes was activated the moment Soma got the seeds!
Of the thirty-five square meters of seeds, most of the soma is intended to be used to grow tomatoes, and the remaining part is used to grow garlic and Chinese cabbage.
In the early years, southerners were located in fertile areas and could fully meet their body's demand for vitamins through a rich variety of vegetables, fruits, and seafood.
However, people in the north, due to water conservancy and land conditions, can only selectively plant some vegetables that can sustain people's survival.
Among them, tomatoes, garlic, cabbage and potatoes are the main ones.
Tomatoes can promote digestion and relieve constipation.
Garlic can detoxify and kill insects, eliminate bacteria and strengthen the stomach. Garlic sprouts can also be used to add flavor to stir-fry dishes, and can also be used for snacks.
Potatoes yield a lot per acre and are very filling. One meal can last a whole day.
Cabbage is also included in the diet of northerners because it is easy to store and tastes good.
These four vegetables are all very suitable for soma at the moment.
After making a choice, Sumo gave up growing potatoes.
After summoning the vegetable culture medium from the inventory, the originally empty shelter suddenly became crowded.
After placing the culture medium under the skylight and burying all the vegetable seeds in the soil according to the spacing, Sumo thought:
"The maturity period of tomatoes and garlic is about three months, while the maturity period of cabbage is a little faster, about two months."
“I just don’t know how much faster this culture medium can speed up.”
Sowing seeds is a troublesome business.
Sumo didn't know much about agriculture either, so he could only hope that the culture medium would be powerful.
After all, in the apocalypse, it was too difficult to find suitable fertilizers. As for getting some plant ash to put on it, Sumo thought about it and decided to survive the first disaster.
Without time clocks, all people living in the wasteland have returned to the routine of sunrise and sunset.
Sitting on the stool, Sumo began to calculate the supplies he currently had.
The first is the most important gold mine in the base - psionic water.
After an afternoon of storage, the nether energy water has now been accumulated to 1000ml again.
At a speed of 300ml per hour, if it weren't for controlling the shipment volume, Sumo would have wanted to take it all out in exchange for supplies.
Iron, a strategic mineral, has been traded for 130 units so far.
If the shelter is to be made of iron in the future, based on the calculation that two units of iron blocks are required per square meter, there is still 70 units left to fully upgrade the material structure of the shelter to make it more stable and safer.
However, until there is no lightning protection structure, it can only be an idea for the time being.
In terms of food, Daliba ate one catty in the afternoon and still had nine catties left.
This thing is so full that it is as hard as a stone. If it had not been soaked in water, Soma's teeth would not be able to bite it.
The remaining miscellaneous items are pet eggs and a design drawing.
After counting, Sumo went to the trading market for a walk. Compared to the grand scene in the afternoon, the trading market became deserted at night.
Water and food are still hard currencies and are in short supply.
In other words, everyone is hoarding.
After all, except Somo, no one knows whether water resources will be found tomorrow after drinking this water.
Not finding anything of value, Somo had nothing to do and went diving in the chat channel again.
Mainly to collect some information.
There are too many messages in the world channel. At night, everyone is trapped in the shelter and can only go to communicate to relieve loneliness.
Sumo scanned quickly and only stopped to take a look when he found the keywords he was interested in.
After the first day, by the second day, many players had already encountered ruins spawning next to them.
However, not everyone has the courage to go in and explore.
Most of them are watching from the outside.
According to the descriptions of some players who have entered, once you enter the ruins, as long as you go back, the ruins will disappear.
There is only one chance to explore.
There is also a time limit for entry. According to some vague statements, it is basically about two hours before you will be forcibly thrown out.
As for what dangers there are in the ruins, no one has mentioned them.
After receiving this news, Sumo was shocked.
Maybe the ruins are not as beautiful as some people imagine, and they are also full of dangers.
No one is saying what dangers there are. It is very likely that no one who encounters danger will be able to return to the base alive.
Only those who survive can speak.
The dead have shut up.
There are only 762 people left in the regional channel at this time, which is the best evidence.
In one day, more than two hundred people died in the wasteland, and they could never return to Earth to see their families.
Inevitably, Sumo felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
If the ruins are refreshed next to you tomorrow, will you enter or not?
It was certainly a good idea to slowly grow up in the base relying on psionic water, but the generous reward after killing the chameleon made Somo unable to help but feel excited.
The upgrade direction of the doomsday survival system also requires items to be activated.
If we follow the normal development process and there are no disasters or mutated creatures, Soma can live here forever.
"I feel too insecure here. After all, my base is too weak. Even the door is made of wood. If a stronger mutant beast comes, I may die without knowing how."
"If there are ruins, I have to go in and explore. When the time comes, I will explore on the outside, and if there are any problems, I will go back."
Under the bright firelight, Sumo's face showed a trace of tenacity.
To survive in the last days, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
When it comes to the development of supplies and shelters, he is systematic and confident that no one can be better than him.
In terms of personal strength and character, Soma does not want to fall behind.
"When my family comes, I must be strong enough to protect them!"
After repeatedly questioning himself to strengthen his heart, Sumo's mentality changed drastically for the first time.
The modesty and gentleness of human character in the civilized era are gradually being abandoned, and the ferocity and wildness of animals are constantly being activated.
Holding the wood spear in his arms, Somo lay on the bed.
After a while, as his breathing gradually became calmer, he fell into sleep.
...
In the dark night, stars shone down, and countless dark figures moved vigorously in the wasteland, causing waves of roars.
Human refuges were constantly being breached, and screams and roars of beasts were heard. As time went by, things calmed down.
There are also countless fierce people who set traps and deliberately lure them, waiting for the mutated beasts to come to their door and capture them in one fell swoop.
In the mining area, countless hard-working people still hold torches and bend over the veins to mine resources.
