Chapter 68 can be planted
Bai Tang: "Thank you for reminding us, Captain Zhao. We understand."
After finishing their conversation, the two teams, each carrying their assigned fruit, left the base's service hall.
After saying goodbye, the two teams drove home separately.
Bai Tang and the others returned home quickly.
They never expected the task to be completed so quickly, thanks in large part to the canned food.
They didn't eat lunch when they were on their way, thinking they would eat when they got back.
After everyone entered the room, Bai Tang looked at the clock on the wall and said:
"That's great, let's have dinner right away, we'll have a big meal tonight, and we'll also give the canned food an extra treat."
The canned food was overjoyed to hear the words "extra food" and kept rubbing against Bai Tang's legs.
Bai Tang prepared food for it first, and also opened two extra cans of food for it.
Then I got food for Lin Fan and the others.
I'm too lazy to cook anymore, so I'm still eating the ready-made meals from Baitang Space.
Bai Tang first brought out a pot of hot mutton soup. After being out all day, nothing beats a hot bowl of mutton soup.
Then they brought out a pot of braised chicken, a pot of crab stew, a pot of stir-fried cabbage and vermicelli with meat, and a pot of rice.
Their family is large, and they always eat bowl after bowl of food, like at a buffet.
During the meal, Bai Tang said, "It would be great if those fruits could be grown."
Gu Yanxu: "Let's see what the experts at the base have to say then."
...
In the lab over there, an expert approached Director Liu with the test results and said:
"After thorough research and testing, it has been determined that this fruit is safe for human consumption and is no different from other fruits."
Furthermore, research has revealed that the vines of this plant grow very quickly, and based on its growth trend, it is estimated that it can bear fruit directly two or three weeks after sowing.
Nature is truly a wondrous creator; we had never seen this plant before.
We can apply to the base to plant it on wasteland. We've studied it and found that it can only survive in extremely cold weather; it simply doesn't grow in our greenhouses.
Director Liu clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "Good! Good! Good!"
This will alleviate the food problem at the base. I'll report to the base leadership now.
...
After Bai Tang and the others finished their meal, they sat contentedly on the sofa to digest, while Guan Tou rested in its large cat bed.
During the break, Bai Tang took out a white fruit and held it in her hand.
Then, in my mind, I asked Mumu, "Mumu, can you tell if this fruit will be harmful to the human body?"
Upon hearing Bai Tang's voice, Mu Mu quickly asked, "Are they the white fruits from the space?"
Bai Tang said, "Yes, those fruits, take a look."
Mu Mu floated over and took a look in the space.
Then she said to Bai Tang, "Sister, these fruits are just ordinary fruits. They are harmless and non-toxic, and you can eat them normally."
Bai Tang: "Okay, thank you, Mu Mu~"
"Sister Tangtang, you don't need to be so polite with me~"
After communicating with Mu Mu in her mind, Bai Tang said to them:
"I showed it to Mumu. These white fruits are similar to the fruits we usually eat and are not poisonous."
(You deserve to own the MuMu brand drug detector.)
Bai Jiyang: "Then let me try it first, and you can eat it after I'm done."
Lin Fan joined in the fun, saying, "Sister-in-law, give me one too."
Bai Tang gave them two white fruits, and they took the fruits and took a bite.
Bai Jiyang grinned and hissed.
Bai Tang asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?!"
Bai Jiyang laughed and said, "Hiss, this is a bit sour, it doesn't seem very ripe."
Bai Tang slapped Bai Jiyang and said angrily:
"You rascal, don't scare people for no reason."
Lin Fan: "Hahahaha, mine is so sweet, not so sour at all. Looks like I'm lucky."
It was a false alarm, but Bai Tang still believed Mu Mu's words, otherwise she wouldn't have given the fruit to the two of them.
After chatting for a while longer, they all went back early to wash up and rest.
...
The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, there was nothing to do and no one wanted to take on any tasks, so everyone gathered in the living room.
Bai Jiyang, Lin Fan, Lin Feng, and Lin Zhou were playing mahjong, Bai Tang was petting a cat, and Gu Yanxu was cleaning.
In the apocalypse, Bai Tang could never have imagined living such a leisurely life in her previous life.
But now she is truly living this kind of life, and she is very content.
Suddenly they heard a message broadcast over the base's loudspeakers:
"Residents of the base, we have an announcement to make now: we have discovered a type of fruit that can be planted directly in the snow."
It can be eaten directly by humans; it is non-toxic, has no side effects, and is safe to consume.
Please be patient while the seeds are planted.
Once our lab staff have separated the seeds, we will distribute them to everyone.
Please pay attention to the broadcast announcements during this period.
Please pay attention to the broadcast announcements during this period.
Bai Tang: "Sure enough, listen, this fruit can be grown and eaten."
Bai Tang asked Mu Mu in her mind, "Can this kind of plant grow in that space?"
Mu Mu said, "I tried it last night, but it doesn't seem to work. It can only survive in the snow."
Bai Tang suddenly remembered the clean snow she had previously stored in her spatial storage.
Then he asked Mu Mu, "What if we covered a piece of land in the space with snow to simulate the cold environment outside? Could we try planting it?"
Mu Mu: "Is that so? Big sister is so smart!"
After speaking with Mu Mu, Bai Tang greeted the others and went back to her bedroom, then entered her spatial dimension.
Upon entering the space, Bai Tang used her consciousness to move the previous pile of clean snow over and then covered it on a piece of land to simulate the snow outside.
Then, they asked Mumu to extract the red seeds from the white fruit.
They were sprinkled directly on the simulated snow, hoping they would grow.
Bai Tang didn't know how to plant it, so she just scattered it in and left it to fate. They didn't lack the fruit; they just found it unusual.
After finishing her work, she left the space and went to the yard to check on the several broods of wild rabbits, which had already given birth to baby rabbits.
I fed them again and reinforced the cage.
Back inside, Bai Tang said to them, "We'll also get some seeds and plant them in our yard. The yard is big enough anyway."
Everyone said, "Okay, no problem, leave the farming to us."
Bai Tang didn't tell them yet that she had already planted a patch of them in her space.
Anyway, everything they could see inside the space was within Bai Tang's permission.
They didn't have permission to see many things; all they could see was a white mist, but none of them raised any objections.
After waiting for a week, there was finally some activity on the base's loudspeaker again.
