Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 218 Old Dong who loves farming
Five days have passed since the first sea trial.

They thought the first experiment went extremely smoothly and the ship should be able to be adjusted quickly, but they didn't expect that the subsequent experiments would bring them back to reality.

In addition to the frequent failure of transmission parts, they also experienced problems such as furnace explosion, high-temperature piston deformation, valve failure, steering rod failure, etc.

It seems that the first sea trial was indeed lucky, and the scientific research department is now very busy.

In summary, the current transmission device does not seem to be efficient enough, so a new one has to be designed.

Lu Yuning did not participate from the second sea trial. In the end, these troublesome problems could only be left to the scientific research department to study and solve.

Other construction work did not stop during these days. With the help of the symbiont, they finally moved the planting area into the greenhouse.

After the main frame can be built out of thin air, the work of laying plastic becomes much simpler. However, this greenhouse consumes a lot of plastic. In addition to some that Lu Yuning had collected before, the plastic bottles in the two trash cans near the vending machine were all used to build the greenhouse.

Lu Yuning even went to the previous salvage site. There was a lot of plastic waste there. He felt a little disgusted with it at first, but he didn't expect that he would have to take it all back in the end.

However, after the base was moved near the vending machine, it became a bit difficult to walk into the forest area.

But the good news is that with Xu Qi's help, all the chipmunks in the previous nest were moved here.

With the warm tree hole made by Lu Yuning himself, these guys were naturally very happy and didn't want to come out after lying in it.

After all, it is winter now, and squirrels normally hibernate, so chipmunks are much less active.

Even if Xu Qi used his special powers to ask them to come and help, they were extremely reluctant. This was understandable. After all, no office worker wanted to leave his bed in winter, let alone a worker like Chipmunk who did not receive a salary.

Apart from these three chipmunks, the mutated bees in the forest area cannot be brought here. After all, we can't expect them to abandon their hive.

Another problem is that the lifespan of bees is relatively short. Although it is a mutation, we can't expect it to live long, so after this separation, it is very likely that it will be gone when we come next time. I have to say that this is quite sad.

After all, this guy helped Lu Yuning and others resist powerful enemies. Although he didn't help much in the final battle in the park, it was with his help that they were able to capture the mutated mantis.

As for the mutated mantis, Lu Yuning hadn't seen it since the park war. According to Xu Qi, it seemed to have left the park, perhaps because it felt it was too barren here and couldn't find anything it wanted to eat.

In addition, there was a mutated bee in the forest that made it angry, so it ran out.

Although Xu Qi could call it back, there was nothing else to do at the moment and there was no need to disturb it.

The lifespan of mantises is not long, but most of them sacrifice themselves when giving birth. In short, we can only let them fend for themselves.

Although Xu Qi's strength has been greatly weakened after moving, the symbiote is currently her greatest reliance.

This thing has no lifespan limit and has architectural talent, it's simply amazing.

With its help, many things suddenly become much simpler.

However, strong strength means the possibility of defection, which is actually what Lu Yuning is most worried about.

Xu Qi's ability didn't allow for forced control, and her bond with the symbiote was a forced one, so Lu Yuning was still unsure. However, it played a crucial role in the shimmer, and couldn't be left to fend for itself, so she still had to bind it.

Another issue that Lu Yuning was more worried about was President Xinghuo, whom he had met briefly before. He always had a feeling that the two might meet again in the future.

The reason why President Xinghuo assisted Xu Qi in taming the symbiote was not only because it was a little out of control and might transform other members into symbiotes, but it was probably more for his own benefit. After all, Lu Yuning didn't quite believe that he would be so kind as to sacrifice himself for others.

But now everything has returned to silence, and Lu Yuning doesn't know whether President Xinghuo is still there or not. She can only take one step at a time. Xu Qi is the key in this. This matter cannot be taken lightly, and she must always pay attention to the situation of the symbiote.

Xu Qi is currently the highest-ranking manager in the base besides Lu Yuning. This is mainly because of the existence of the symbiont. Many times, she is required to convey instructions. Moreover, because of her likable personality, everyone in the base is also polite to her.

The previous managers of Xinghuo and Weiguang all worked hard in the base, and the new manager of Fuxing, Dong Yongfang, really fulfilled his promise. He volunteered and is now the manager of the base farm.

Now his eyes light up when he talks about farming. Lu Yuning thought he was just talking, but she didn't expect that he really likes farming. Lu Yuning was a little amused and helpless about this.

"Brother Lu, when are you leaving? Don't forget what I said before."

When Dong Yongfang saw Lu Yuning, he greeted her.

"what?"

Lu Yuning's expression clearly showed that she had forgotten what happened before. Dong Yongfang suddenly became a little impatient and said, "You can't forget this. This is related to the future development of our Weiguang! As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. Only when they are well fed can they develop well. If you want to enter the industrial age, agriculture must keep up."

"Oh, but Mr. Dong, we have enough food now, right?"

Dong Yongfang's eyes widened in anxiety. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'enough to eat'? Look at what junk food the brothers are eating now! If this continues, everyone will become malnourished."

"Alright, okay. I see they're enjoying the chocolate, chips, and instant noodles. They're nutritious enough."

"They don't understand. These things have no nutritional value. Eating them for too long will make you sick. Look at how healthy these green plants look. Besides, these things have expiration dates. This won't work in the long run, so we should grow more plants."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"That's right, so I plan to build a farm nearby and plant more plants, especially wheat and corn. It would be best if I could plant two. Maybe in the future we can make our own bread or something. That would be a wonderful thing."

The more Dong Yongfang spoke, the brighter his eyes became.

Lu Yuning nodded seriously: "Okay, then when I go out, pay more attention and bring back any edible plants you see."

Dong Yongfang said happily, "Okay!"

Lu Yuning found it inexplicably funny to hear Dong Yongfang constantly bragging about his greenhouse construction in her ear.

I don’t know why he is so passionate about farming. Maybe it’s a special hobby for middle-aged people. But to be honest, Lu Yuning is actually quite interested in planting.

If he didn't have such a heavy burden, he would have liked to farm in this park, go fishing, build a base, and research technology. It would have been quite comfortable.
