Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

With solar energy equipment, fresh water can be produced continuously.

The warship also said that in the early stage, everyone is encouraged to reclaim wasteland for planting, so there is an unlimited supply of fresh water. When everything is on track in the later stage, water will be supplied free of charge based on the amount of wasteland reclaimed by each family. Other water used for living, eating and drinking will be limited according to the per capita quota.

If you need more water, you need to exchange it for supplies.

In other words, for those who have no supplies and live in poverty, the military will guarantee your basic water supply, but there will be no additional benefits.

But if you want extra enjoyment, you need to exchange it with supplies.

This is understandable. After all, a warship needs to ensure the lives of thousands of people, so it is impossible to provide free supplies everywhere.

Therefore, not only the Zhou family, but other families who were allocated land on Hope Island No. 2 began to work hard to cultivate the land.

A month later, Hope Island 2 was covered with lush greenery.

The seeds planted by people have sprouted.

In fact, Hope Island No. 2 is not very large, with a hill about two to three hundred meters above sea level standing in the middle.

Usually, such islands do not have sufficient plain area due to terrain restrictions.

The limited space on the island means that no corner of the island is more than 5 kilometers away from the farthest coastline.

For such a small tropical island, frequent typhoon attacks will inevitably bring the impact of waves, whether it is direct invasion or splashing through the sea spray swept up by strong winds, which may cause salinization of the island.

This salinization phenomenon will have extremely adverse effects on the island's ecosystem and agriculture.

However, the people on Hope Island No. 2 were enthusiastically reclaiming wasteland, without considering what would happen if the land they had carefully cared for turned into saline-alkali land after a year or two.

Such an environment is extremely unfavorable for the growth of crops such as corn, wheat, and potatoes.

Therefore, after research by technical experts on the mother ship, it was decided to plant taro and ginseng potato as staple food. Both plants are resistant to high temperature and humid climatic conditions.

Taro thrives in high heat and humidity and can be cooked in a variety of ways.

Whether it is steamed and eaten as a meal, cooked with seafood as a dish, or added with honey or sugar to make a dessert, it can show its unique flavor.

Not to mention ginseng potatoes, which are naturally sweet and have a high yield, enough to make up for the lack of mutant potatoes.

There are not many seeds on these two motherships, but the Pirate Island has been committed to developing agriculture in recent years, so these seeds are available.

In addition to keeping the seeds for public use, the mothership distributed the remaining seeds for free according to the area of ​​wasteland and the number of people in each family.

In addition to staple food, vegetables should also be grown.

Water spinach, bitter melon, cucumber, etc. are all suitable for growing on tropical islands.

After Zhong Tiyun inspected the land on Island No. 2, she asked the newly rescued survivors, "The climate and soil conditions on this small island are not suitable for growing rice. How come you've been able to grow rice for seven or eight years?"

The survivor replied, "This is the soil that those pirates used to dig up from the land when they forced us to board the ship. We dig it up every year and replace it every year."

Zhong Tiyun was speechless.

There is no land now for them to replace the soil.

Therefore, the rice we have now is the last of its kind.

Zhou Shuwan wanted to exchange some rice, but his family was in a hurry to catch the warship to escape, so he didn't know what supplies to exchange without arousing the other party's suspicion.

Considering the hot weather on the Pirate Island, many northerners are not used to it.

Zhou Shuwan took out thirty boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and exchanged them for three hundred kilograms of rice from the warship.

Thirty boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water are very small, so it is reasonable to say that they can be stuffed into a backpack.

There are too many mosquitoes and bugs on Hope Island No. 2. Without a mosquito net, you will be bitten by mosquitoes at night, and your whole body will become red and swollen, and itchy.
