While he was nervous, the three people who went out to conduct reconnaissance came back.
"How about it?"
"It seems to be a health center." Liu Zheng said, "We will leave right away. The population here is relatively dense."
Ye Mengyan was obviously not willing to go back quietly like this. According to the practice of every special reconnaissance team, he would not be willing to go back without grabbing something: "Why don't we just capture a prisoner and go back for interrogation?"
"Save it, our mission is exploration, not combat, how can we take a prisoner away? Besides, the purpose of this time is to explore resources, and the second is to train the team. Didn't you see that some people got down?"
"Tch!!" Zhao Xue rolled her eyes at Liu Zheng.
"How many days will it take to return to the base?" Bai Guoshi was more concerned about Zhao Xue's injury. He had just taken the opportunity to do preliminary treatment for Zhao Xue.
"About three or four days. I can only walk slowly today. Try to camp as far away from the city as possible, so that I can sleep more soundly at night. Once I'm rested, I'll catch up early tomorrow and try to get home early."
"Wait a minute, please help me collect more ore samples here. I'll find something good."
All the people had to help him collect various stones on the ground, and when they set out, everyone carried seven or eight kilograms of ore on their backs for no reason.
The journey back was relatively safe. On the eleventh day after departure, the team was approaching Bairen City.
"Password!!!" A shout from the trees beside the road startled Liu Zheng, who was serving as the vanguard, and jumped, "Lori! Reply to the order!"
"Sister Royal!" A sentry with a fishing net hanging all over his body and branches and leaves jumped out from the side of the road. He was probably a lurking sentry. He was holding a steel crossbow and a pistol holster strapped to his thigh.
"Why don't I seem to have seen you? Which department are you from?" The sentry looked straight at the limping Zhao Xue - modern women in the camp are too rare.
"Department 7911," Liu Zheng reported. Departments with code names are confidential units and are referred to by their font size externally.
The sentry immediately became solemn: "It turns out to be a confidential unit. It seems that it has gone far away. The mission was completed well, right?" The sentry probably wanted to get some inside information, so he got close to it.
"It's okay. How are you doing here?"
"A few days ago, I heard that a beautiful female pirate came to the store." The sentry looked yearning. "I heard that she lives in the store and is treated to delicious food and drinks."
"Female pirate?" Everyone was interested.
"Pervert." Zhao Xue curled her lips in disdain when she saw the men drooling.
"It is said that there is a unique name, Li Huamei!" The sentry was so excited that he completely forgot about his duties here.
…
The team changed their clothes at the outer base, replacing all their outdoor equipment with the training uniforms they wore before departure - this was not noticeable. Liu Zheng disbanded the team and returned to the headquarters first. He also had a bunch of administrative staff
Things to do: write an exploration report, fill out the reimbursement form for various consumables consumed during the mission. As for other people, they also have their own things to do, such as writing reports, sorting specimens... Of course, taking a bath and eating a hot meal are also indispensable.
Have a good sleep.
Bai Guoshi sent the plant specimens one by one to the Ministry of Agriculture. Strictly speaking, agriculture and biology are two professions, but they are almost the same in the eyes of the Executive Committee. Therefore, the farm is now an important base of biology in the 17th century.
Needless to say, the only college student majoring in molecular biology in this time and space is farming and cooking with Wu Nanhai here.
As for other people, let’s just say Huang Dashan. He specializes in growing mushrooms, fungus, etc. in the farm, but his best skill is actually cultivating bacteria/viruses in live animals. In other words, as long as the executive committee is willing, he can do it 731
Everyone looked at his thick glasses, which were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, and felt panicked. No one knew what was inside the test tubes and culture vessels that he was tinkering with in his small room.
No one wanted to know what it was - ever since they learned about his unique skills, everyone who walked past the house would stay away.
"Is this a puzzle?" Fa Shilu looked at the specimens he collected in his laboratory and showed joy. "It's a very useful medicinal material."
"The Ministry of Health asked for it by name." Bai Guoshi sat down and looked around. The conditions in the biological laboratory are now much better than in the past. The putting into operation of the glass factory has greatly expanded the equipment here - although
The newly made glassware seems a bit silly, big and dark, but it is not in short supply at last.
"Recently, we have done a good job in collecting seedlings and seeds, and the breeding work in the hot farming garden is also progressing quite smoothly." Fa Shilu said, "The hot farming conditions in Hainan are quite good, and Lingao is a little worse, but it can still be overcome.
.”
"What does Minister Wu think of Rezuo?"
"He is an amateur at this." A smile appeared on Fa Shilu's fat, dark face. Speaking of professional standards, Fa Shilu was an agronomist. When he signed up to participate, he brought a cart of seeds and a micro germplasm.
Resource library - the latter is a scientific research resource that is difficult to obtain. His current title is "Chief Agronomist of the Demonstration Farm".
Fa Shilu continued: "I don't know much about Hot Work, but I know a little bit. But there is information from another time and space, and I probably know what can and cannot be planted in Lingao. This saves a lot of effort."
"Can I grow pepper?" Bai Guoshi had read many half-baked history books and had a deep memory of the huge profits from the spice trade.
"Yes, pepper is very adaptable to Lingao. However, there are two main producing areas of spice crops in Southeast Asia and India, so we have no advantage in competition."
"Oh." Bai Guoshi was slightly disappointed.
"Let's go see the farm's hot fields."
The area of the farm has expanded a lot. The newly developed land has been developed into paddy fields. The land has been carefully leveled and equipped with permanent farmland hydraulic engineering according to the standards of experimental fields. There are even bamboo fences beside each field.
There are also some wind-driven bird repelling devices scattered in the fields. There are signs on the fields with the number, type and person in charge. Bai Guoshi knew that the fields were planted with high-quality seeds brought from another time and space - no wonder they would
So careful.
The tropical crop garden is also closely protected by deep trenches and barbed wire, as well as a lookout. Except for members of the agricultural committee and a few indigenous workers in the farm, who can enter the garden with their certificates, no one else is allowed to enter the garden privately. The crops here
They are all unique to East Asia. If they were ruined and you wanted to find them again, you would have to go halfway around the world.
The coconut, rubber, coffee, cocoa, coca, quinine, poppy and various fruit seedlings planted in the garden a few months ago are growing very well. Some easy-to-live varieties have already sprouted dense branches, blowing in the breeze.
It's swaying and looks very pleasant.
"No wonder people say that the farm is a paradise. It's so beautiful." This is Bai Guoshi's first time here, although there are many varieties in this plantation that he personally collected samples and seeds.
"The jackfruit you picked is growing well too."
"It's a pity that it's still a small tree. It will take another four or five years to bear fruit."
"If everyone just wants to eat a few jackfruits, Xuwen across the strait is one of the largest producing areas in China, so it is not uncommon at all." Fashilu is ambitious, "Since we have advanced technology, we should cultivate more improved varieties."
The 50 coconut saplings are growing very well. Bai Guoshi knows that coconuts have many uses, and the executive committee also attaches special importance to them. Coconuts are full of treasures, and they are also a relatively stable source of oil in the recent stage.
"The executive committee said that in the future, all greening will be done with coconut trees, which are beautiful and useful. It's just that we have to wait for several years for these coconut trees to bear fruit——"
Bai Guoshi's mind moved and he thought of jackfruit again - not only are these resources available everywhere, they are also indispensable on Hainan Island. While relying on one's own efforts, one can send people to collect them on a large scale. He himself saw it more than once during his exploration.
Vast areas of wild cash crops are completely neglected and left to fend for themselves.
If there are enough manpower and equipment, we can set up a "resource collection team". If nothing else, it will be very beneficial to enrich the lives of the people in time. But this matter needs to be coordinated by the executive committee - I will report it tonight
It should be mentioned when.
Fa Shilu has been in charge of tropical crops recently. In addition to the hot-cropping seedlings planted shortly after landing, the Agricultural Committee also has quite a lot of other hot-cropping seeds. The water and heat conditions in Lingao are not the best.
, it was the Little Ice Age again, so he did not dare to act rashly and sow all the seeds in the seed bank. He checked a lot of information and found that in another time and space, the popular successful large-scale planting in Lingao was:
Rubber, pepper, lemongrass, sisal, coffee, cloves, basil, and fragrant roots. Although there were several hot crops that did not last, it was mainly due to market factors. There was no problem with the planting itself. The real failure in planting was oil
Palm, cashew nut. Fa Shilu is rather sorry for the failure of oil palm. After all, the oil yield rate of this thing is the first in the world. When it reaches a large scale, it can meet most of the oil and fat needs of the cross-country industry.
"There are so many things to plant, and there is almost everything in the seed bank. I'm afraid that if the seeds are damaged," he sighed, "the losses will be huge."
"There should be more varieties of sisal, jute, etc. I think there will be a huge demand for hemp in the industrial sector." Bai Guoshi expressed his opinion.
Fa Shilu nodded: "It makes sense. But the industrial department itself didn't raise it."
"That's because they can import jute, so there is no sense of urgency. I would say growing sisal is better because it has a high utilization rate. Even the waste residue and juice can be used."
The long fibers in sisal are used as raw materials for making ropes in industry, mining, and shipping. The processed pulp can be used as raw materials for papermaking, alcohol, vinegar, etc. The short fibers produced during the production process can be used to make general ropes, insoles, and reins.
and other daily necessities, and can also be used as stuffing for furniture. The leaf juice can produce biogas through fermentation, and can also extract sugar and feed dry yeast. The large amount of processed leaf residue is a good feed, and the hemp residue is a high-quality organic fertilizer.
