Chapter 74
"These raw salts are packed and given to Xu E of the cooking team, and they also have to give some seaweed."
"The price of sulfuric acid has been reduced? The regional president should have made some talks with their regional president. It's great news."
"Expand the sea field? Well, it's time to consider. How is the fish air-drying treatment?"
On the beach on the coast, Mai Yu, the deputy leader of the agricultural team, handled affairs in an orderly manner.
It has been fifteen days since he came to this world, and Mai Yu has adapted to it. In terms of diet, compared to food and clothing, he began to pay attention to some safety issues.
For example, sea salt, the raw salt obtained by drying sea water contains many impurities, and there is no way to eat it at first.
Now there is not only a special salt drying field, but also a person who is responsible for purifying and removing miscellaneous materials. Using the tools he obtained in the first natural disaster reward, he can easily purify the coarse salt.
Although it is not as good as the salt made from modern technology in previous lives, it is always better than coarse salt containing various impurities.
A few days ago, a natural sulfuric acid lake was discovered in another area, which made many people happy for a while. Mai Yuqiang also bought some to extract iodine from seaweed and make iodized salt.
The days are getting better and better, but the current situation makes everyone unable to relax their vigilance. After all, it is not a few days before the severe cold.
In severe cold weather, the food you can get from hunting and fishing will be reduced, and there is a lot of food reserves, but no one knows when the severe cold will last.
Mai Yuqiang knew in his heart that his area seemed peaceful. The most important reason was that everyone had food to eat. If there was no food to eat in the cold...
"A Qiang!"
A call interrupted his thoughts, made him come back to his senses, and when he looked back, it was the ark sitting on the sword.
“The area is long, early.”
Mai Yuqiang greeted him and then asked, "Is there anything you need to help? You don't look very good."
"You look at people quite accurately."
Fang Fang jumped off the sword, raised his hand to give him a gift, and then looked at the surrounding fishing grounds next to him. Zhang San and many young men were busy.
"This matter is a bit inconvenient, so keep it confidential for the time being."
After Fang Ark finished speaking, Mai Yuqiang nodded, looked around, and came to Fang Ark.
"That's how it is..."
"Ten degrees below zero? Is the source reliable?"
Mai Yuqiang's face looked a little ugly. At this temperature, the crops in the test field will definitely not be able to be kept.
"Feel sorry."
After hearing the purpose of Fang Ark, Mai Yuqiang shook his head.
"This incident must have had a big blow to Jiale, but I can't help either."
He said as he picked up a branch on the beach and explained while drawing.
"Those crops are of excellent cold resistance, but if they are less than ten degrees below zero, the best result is to stop growing, and the worst result is to freeze to death."
"But if we want to build greenhouses, it must be at least of such a large scale. Considering the quality, our current technological level cannot be achieved."
"Is there no other possibility?" asked Fang Ark.
"Yes," Mai Yuqiang nodded, "The plant suddenly mutates into super plants and the like... Well, I'm telling a joke."
Mai Yuqiang's level of telling jokes is as bad as the current situation. Fang Ark knows what it means to have a way out.
Seeing his appearance, Mai Yuqiang had to pat his shoulder.
"No one blames you, you don't have to blame yourself."
As he was talking, Mai Yuqiang sighed: "Didn't you find peat before? I still thought about building a hillside vegetable garden next to my house, but now there is no chance."
“Hillside vegetable garden?”
Fang Ark asked: "Are you planning to grow vegetables on the mountain wall?"
"It was also the idea I just had before that peat was widely used in building roof gardens in our previous world."
Thinking that saying something about Fang Ark would make him feel better, Mai Yuqiang kept explaining.
"Peat, also known as peat, has a dry weight of 20% of ordinary soil, and a wet weight of 30%, and is also rich in nutrients."
"You must know that the soil foundation of a roof garden is to mix ordinary soil and peat in a two-to-one ratio, which can not only reduce weight, but also improve the breathability and nutrient structure of the soil foundation."
"No, I don't want to know this, of course what you said is also very useful."
Seeing that the other party was talking endlessly, Fang Zhou was embarrassed to interrupt him during this period, and he stopped before speaking.
"Well, what you want to know about that area chief is... I must speak out, and I will say everything."
After talking for a long time, it turned out that the other party was not what the other party wanted to hear. Mai Yuqiang was a little embarrassed, so he showed a confident smile and suppressed the embarrassment.
"If...I mean...if..."
The ark also picked up the branches and drew them on the ground.
"There is a volcano that is on it. Can the temperature of the volcano ensure the survival of the plants?"
Mai Yuqiang thought for a while and replied: "Theory is feasible."
"The mineral sediment around a volcano is often rich and is very suitable for agricultural development. If you cut off the mountain wall a little, with the help of the volcano's temperature, plants can withstand the severe cold."
"However, once an active volcano erupts, toxic gases and volcanic ash will spread everywhere. Not to mention vegetables, it will also pose a huge threat to people."
"If it is a dormant volcano, the threat will be slightly smaller."
"Of course this is just a hypothesis, there won't be a dormant volcano..."
"I don't know if it's a dormant volcano, but there is indeed one."
"Yes, that's pretty good... well?"
Mai Yuqiang didn't react for a while, so Fang Zhou patted his shoulder and brought him back to his senses.
"Just where I discovered peat before, it was a volcanic island."
"The lava can be seen from the crater, but the surrounding vegetation has grown well and there should have been no eruptions in the near future," said Fang Ark.
"Then our test field is saved!"
Mai Yu's froze expression was broken so impatient that he opened the social interface and glanced at it smoothly.
"Depend on!"
"The region chief, I can't accompany you anymore. Please let Min Bai go with you. There are a lot of things."
Looking at the lost Mai Yuqiang, Fang Zhou nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future."
After saying that, Fang Ark left on the sword, and on the way he asked about the core matters about the volcano.
"That's a dormant volcano, and the lava you see is drawn from the control center."
"Control center, is that big block, right?"
When the core mentioned this, Fang Fang remembered the large block in the crater that extracted lava energy.
"Yes, it's back to the first time you jumped down, sleeping in the crater every day without being evaporated by the high temperature and toxic gases. It's all about protecting you."
"Thank you so much...so is there any danger of that volcano erupting?"
"The control core absorbs the overflowing energy, so there is no need to worry about this."
The core answer is a surprise for Fang Ark. The danger of the outbreak means that the hillside vegetable garden is completely feasible.
