Extra 5: Desolate Star Farming Daily 2 Thanks to SOi
In order to save energy to maintain the transmission of rescue messages, Xu Suizhu's family camped on this small planet that is less than half the size of the Earth on the day of landing.
If we classify the known planets according to the level of civilization, the Federation Galaxy is undoubtedly a first-class civilization. The intelligent spaceships and starships it invented can travel freely in the universe.
From the millennium to the present, after nearly a hundred years of rapid development, the earth should be able to be classified as a fourth-level civilization. No matter how hard we work, we can barely reach the third-level civilization.
As for this small planet, its level of civilization is similar to that of Earth's prehistoric days, far from even Level 4.
"It feels like I've stepped into a primitive society." Xu Suizhu stood in front of the tent, looking at the desolate planet surface in front of him, and couldn't help but want to hold his forehead, "Fortunately, the supplies are still complete, and I don't have to worry about food and drink in a short time, otherwise it would be really fatal."
"Mom, come and see, when Beta dug the hole, groundwater overflowed!" Lu Jiazhen shouted in surprise.
Xu Suizhu hurriedly walked over: "The humidity on the surface is not bad. Could it be that the water source has been dug?"
It will be easier if there is a water source.
Lu Chixiao directed the construction robot to dig a pond of about half an acre. There are currently no fish, shrimps and other living animals to raise, but with the pond, it is much more convenient to obtain water.
A few more acres of wasteland were opened around the half-acre square pond, and I planned to grow some vegetables, fruits, and the like.
When people are floating in the universe, they cannot lack vitamins.
Fortunately, there are a lot of plant seeds in the inventory of the lottery system, such as flower and fruit seeds, which have been there a long time ago. Some were used when building Fuju, Fuling, Fuzhen Islands and Keshan. Later, Qi Heng added
I replenished it for her; other seeds were added later.
Thanks to her hobby of stocking up, she even has the best varieties of rice and wheat seeds.
If the request for help is not sent successfully, these seeds will become the guarantee of their survival.
"But there are not many rice and wheat seeds. Don't rush to plant them yet. Let's try to see if other seeds can be grown."
"good."
In order to save energy, the construction robot did not dare to use it all the time. After carving out half an acre of square pond and several acres of fields, it was sent back to the spacecraft to sleep. The family of four planned to do the next sowing, irrigation, weeding and other tasks themselves.
Go into battle.
Xu Suizhu and Lu Chixiao only did this kind of work in the early days of contracting Fuju Island, or when they were renovating their own courtyards.
Mianmian and Rongjue, let alone working in the fields, had hoes, shovels, rakes and other farm tools piled together, and it was hard to tell which one was which.
Fortunately, we still know what rice, corn, and wheat look like, otherwise it would really be called "the limbs are not diligent and the grains are indistinguishable."
The old couple are strangers to each other, and the younger couple are strangers to each other. Going to the fields to do farm work is not a new experience.
Of course, you need to keep up with labor protection supplies, such as hats, gloves, and protective clothing; mix the basic health care solution that is effective in relieving soreness with water, and take a sip from time to time.
The family of four was having a great time.
Let’s take a moment to build a house beforehand and see if there are any better building materials than earth lumps.
Lu Chixiao took advantage of the break in land reclamation and sent out reconnaissance beetles.
This area was the best landing site selected by the spacecraft for them. Now that water sources have been dug out and wasteland has been opened up, it seems to be a good place to use as a camp for a short period of time.
But you must also explore other places. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you make further plans. So don’t rush to build a house. Maybe you can find a place more suitable for living than here.
It was already dark before the Beetle sent any useful information.
"Have you noticed that it gets dark very quickly here? Is it because of the fast rotation speed?"
"According to this, it will get light earlier, so should we continue working in the dark, or should we rest first and wait until daybreak before working again?"
Xu Suizhu's package contained a set of household appliances that could store light and electricity, including lights. It was not impossible to continue working in the dark.
"Get some rest!" Lu Chixiao waved his hand, "We're still not sure how long we will stay here. If it really takes several years, we have to adapt to the schedule here."
"Your dad is right. Even if you can't sleep for a while, you should lie down and take a rest to slowly adjust to the jet lag. You can't live a life of day and night all the time."
So, the family of four packed up their farm tools and entered the tent.
Xu Suizhu and his wife live in one room, and their daughter and son-in-law live in one room.
The two tents are not too far apart, which not only gives each other privacy, but also makes it easy to take care of each other.
In the tent with space extension function, after Xu Suizhu took a shower, she was not in a hurry to dry her hair. She took a dry towel and wiped it casually until Lu Chixiao came out after washing up, took the towel in her hand and wiped her hair.
.
This is the tacit understanding that the two couples have formed over decades. They know what the other is going to do without even looking at each other.
"I just carefully checked the information registered when this planet was registered, and found that it has no other characteristics except desolation. I heard from my uncle that when he first bought this planet, it was purely on a whim. What he really wanted to buy was the eleventh orbit.
Unfortunately, there were too many buyers participating in the auction for that batch of mineral stars. He had too many star coins to buy one mineral star, but buying two was far from enough. He simply used the remaining money to buy a few surrounding unowned stars.
The reason why I put this one in the lottery system is because I thought it was small and exquisite, and I might like it..."
Lu Chixiao: "...Uncle Mu's ideas are always so original."
Xu Suizhu chuckled: "But we should thank him. Without the planet he gave us, we would be flying aimlessly without knowing where we are now."
This one is.
Lu Chixiao nodded, and just as he was about to say something, there was a reaction from the reconnaissance beetle. The images transmitted showed that it had detected a material that was completely different from rocks and soil.
I forgot to mention that after several generations of updates and upgrades, the Scout Beetle is no longer limited to the exploration of metal mineral deposits. It can detect any material other than rocks and soil that is large enough to form a mineral deposit.
"Didn't you say that there are no mineral deposits worth developing on this small planet? My uncle sent robots to explore it when he bought it." Xu Suizhu was puzzled.
"My uncle's exploration targets are mainly rare minerals, followed by metals. He doesn't pay attention to coal mines at all. Besides, coal is indeed of no use in the federal galaxy of advanced civilizations."
Xu Suizhu was stunned for a moment, then asked belatedly: "You said this is a coal mine?"
Lu Chixiao raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes: "Hmm."
"..."
What does it mean to discover coal mines on a primitive planet that resembles prehistoric civilization?
——Save energy stones!
In the transitional period when lower civilization is moving towards higher civilization, coal is increasingly replaced by various bioenergy and other new energy sources.
But suddenly returning to the prehistoric lower civilization, many things brought from the higher civilization have no use - because they are worried about running out of energy, they try to use it sparingly unless absolutely necessary.
At this time, a coal mine was suddenly discovered. The surprise was no less than that of the impoverished beggar who dug out a bucket of gold under the decaying ancestral house...
