Audiences from the Kingdom of China and the Kingdom of Bangzi fell into aphasia when they watched the live broadcast of a couple sitting hugging each other next to a mulberry forest...
[If you don’t agree with each other, you will give out dog food. You two are really enough!!!]
【I can’t stand it anymore, I really can’t stand it anymore!】
[It’s strange, every time you say you can’t stand it anymore, but there are you every time, and you just leave when you can’t stand it anymore!]
[Do you think Su Bai was shaking on purpose? So that Dr. Zhao could take the initiative to hug him.]
[Hmm... It's very possible that this is the first time Dr. Zhao takes the initiative to hug Su Bai! 】
[Wow! Su Bai actually learned to act coquettishly to Dr. Zhao!!!]
Zhao Xinqing blushed and explained in a low voice:
"Well... physical contact can activate the pituitary gland and secrete oxytocin, dopamine and other substances..."
"It can stabilize nerves, calm blood pressure, and relieve pain..."
"Are you feeling better now?"
Su Bai hugged Zhao Xinqing with his backhand, deliberately frowned, and said:
"No! It's not good yet."
"It's still very uncomfortable."
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
Barrage:【……】
[Just say you haven’t hugged me enough yet!]
【You are so shameless!】
[Dr. Zhao didn’t say everything just now. Physical contact can indeed promote the pituitary gland to secrete various substances, but it must be between relatives to have this effect. 】
[If a stranger comes up and asks to activate the pituitary gland, please call the police immediately!]
[Hahaha! The Su couple, there is nothing wrong with your loved ones! 】
After letting Su Bai hug him for a while, Zhao Xinqing blushed, struggled to push Su Bai away, and muttered:
"It's getting late. Let's pick the mulberries and explore further. If there are no bamboos, we should go back to the camp."
Su Bai nodded and was about to roll up his sleeves and climb up the tree, but was stopped by Zhao Xinqing.
"I'll go up, you can help me catch up below." Zhao Xinqing handed the fish skin bag to Su Bai and said:
"Your body control is slightly reduced now, and the owl is still on your backpack, so you should stay down there!"
Su Bai also clearly felt that his body's coordination and dexterity had been affected by the aftertaste of adrenaline just now, and it was not the best time to climb a tree, so he followed suit and stood under the tree with his fish skin bag open.
Zhao Xinqing picked bunches of ripe purple-red mulberries from the tree and threw them into the fish skin bag.
After a while, I picked a bag full of mulberries.
Su Bai greeted Zhao Xinqing to leave, but Zhao Xinqing sat on a tree branch, shook her head and said:
"Eat before you leave."
"This mulberry forest is so big that we can't finish it no matter what."
"But the time that mulberries can be preserved is very limited."
Half an hour later, Su Bai took Zhao Xinqing and left from the mulberry forest with a bulging fish skin bag.
Both of them have slightly bulging bellies, their lips are stained with purple mulberry juice, and their grins have both rows of teeth that are also purple.
Barrage:
【Good guys, you guys really ate a lot!】
[If you eat mulberries like this, does the mother of the mulberries know?]
Following the creek, the two continued to look for traces of bamboo.
Su Bai asked thoughtfully:
"Xinqing, tell me, is it possible for us to reel silk?"
Zhao Xinqing was stunned for a moment:
"Reeling silk?"
Su Bai nodded and said:
"Yes, we already have such a large mulberry forest. It should be easy to raise some silkworms and get some silk, right?"
Barrage:
[Good guys! Do you really want to replicate our Chinese civilization on the island? 】
[Is the ultimate goal of men farming and women weaving about to be achieved? 】
[Raise silkworms! You must raise silkworms! If you don’t raise silkworms, you are not a Chinese!]
Zhao Xinqing shook her head and laughed twice, then poured a basin of cold water down:
"impossible."
"Unless we reproduce on the island for two or three generations..."
Barrage:
[Oh?! Did Dr. Zhao accidentally express the truest thoughts in his heart? 】
[Pass it on! Dr. Zhao and Su Bai will breed on the island for two or three generations! They will not leave until four generations live together!]
【Reproduce! Reproduce now! If you don’t reproduce, you are not a Chinese!】
A series of barrages made Zhao Xinqing's face turn red. She realized that she had said something wrong. Just when she was about to explain, she heard Su Bai say in confusion:
"Why not?"
"Obviously all the conditions have been met, right?"
Zhao Xinqing shook her head and sighed:
"The silkworms we see now are the domesticated silkworms that were slowly domesticated and cultivated by our distant ancestors in China for countless years."
"The silk of silkworms is white and flexible. It can not only be used to make fabrics and satins, but can even be used in medicine to weave into artificial blood vessels."
"But we can't find domestic silkworms on this island, only wild silkworms."
"The silk of wild silkworms is blue-gray in color, has a loose structure, and some of it is poisonous. It has almost no possibility of weaving."
"Even with modern biological knowledge, it will take many, many years if we want to cultivate silkworms on this island."
As Zhao Xinqing spoke, her expression gradually became serious, and she explained to the camera:
"Everything in modern society, even agriculture that seems very primitive, has been blessed and transformed by human technology."
"This is why I insist on choosing sweet potato and hybrid rice seeds as the initial equipment."
"I believe that as long as we search carefully, we will definitely be able to find seeds of rice, sweet potatoes, and even other foods on this desert island."
"However, even if we find wild species that have not experienced long-term domestication by humans, they will not be of much use."
"The rice, roots, and fruits grown will be very unpalatable, even slightly poisonous, and the yield will be very low. It is not worthy of our intensive farming."
"Food crops in their most primitive form are far inferior to what everyone imagines."
"I saw some comments asking me before: Why do you waste the initial equipment options on them when you can obviously find sweet potatoes and rice? They also asked me why I didn't choose the engineer shovel."
"But in your imagination, you can just find a rice plant and grow rice with white flowers. This simply does not exist."
"On the contrary, you can find substitutes for engineer shovels and daggers, but food seeds that have been improved for countless generations will never be found in the wilderness."
"The same goes for silkworms."
Barrage:
[Su Bai! Did you hear that? Dr. Zhao is educating you!]
[Wait a minute, are you really educating Su Bai? Are you sure it wasn’t the barrage of ridiculing Dr. Zhao’s seed selection before the education? 】
[Stop scolding, stop scolding! Dr. Zhao, I know I was wrong! I shouldn’t have ridiculed you before, so I kowtow to you! orz]
Zhao Xinqing looked at the barrage that filled the screen begging for mercy and acknowledging her mistake, and snorted softly. Just as she was about to drop the topic, she suddenly saw a barrage of information appearing in the live broadcast room:
[Holy shit! Tough guy Kim Hoon Sung has encountered a tough situation! 】
【Retribution comes so quickly!】
[Hahahahahaha! I am going to die in front of the screen because of Kim Hoon-sung’s evil words!]
