Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

After walking for more than an hour, they finally found a good place to take shelter from the rain, and Qiu Tong invited everyone to go inside and rest.

This area has more rocks than sand and gravel, and is sheltered from wind and rain, making it less prone to natural disasters such as landslides.

There happened to be an empty house, so they went inside to take shelter from the rain.

They hadn't expected the rain to be so heavy in the neighboring county, which is why they risked going out.

Before they set off, the local weather conditions were not this bad; it was just a bit windy and drizzling, nothing like what they had here.

This is the danger of typhoons: heavy rain accompanied by strong winds. You could be easily blown away by the wind while walking on the street. Only then will you truly realize that humans cannot fight against nature.

The empty house was probably built by nearby villagers or hunters, and some wood and hunting tools were piled up inside.

It just so happens that it was built near the mountainside. If Qiu Tong hadn't studied the geology and topography of this place, she wouldn't have dared to bring everyone here to take shelter from the rain.

The mountainside is a landslide-prone area, and normal people would not stay there during strong winds and heavy rain.

Everyone refrained from asking their questions because they trusted Qiu Tong.

However, in order to soothe everyone's anxiety, Qiu Tong explained why she chose this place as her temporary residence.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This place is relatively safe. Apart from water accumulation, landslides, mudslides and other disasters will not pass through here."

Qiao Youming didn't disbelieve Qiu Tong's words; he asked out of curiosity.

How can you be so sure that there won't be landslides and mudslides here?

He had barely finished speaking when he was surrounded and beaten by everyone for talking nonsense. What if Zhao Di thought they suspected her?

Qiu Tong waited until everyone had finished scolding Qiao Youming before continuing her explanation.

“I studied the terrain of the area yesterday. The land here is mainly rocky and sheltered from the wind and rain. Landslides and mudslides are caused by loose geology and erosion by heavy rain.”

Qiu Tong didn't not want to rescue Qiao Youming, but the others were too angry to let them vent their frustrations, otherwise no one would listen to her explanation.

Then she had no choice but to sacrifice Qiao Youming, since he was so talkative; she originally wanted to continue talking.

Poor Qiao Youming was unaware that he had done something unnecessary and was beaten unjustly. He even looked at Qiu Tong with grateful eyes, thanking her for rescuing him.

Qiu Tong knew he had misunderstood, and kindly concealed the matter, letting him continue to misunderstand.

Just as Qiu Tong had said, they were not in any danger staying here, except that the rain was so heavy that rainwater was flowing into the house.

The wood could have been used for heating and cooking, but the rain soaked it, so the idea had to be abandoned.

They could only eat cornbread, which was the dry ration they had received from the commune before setting off.

The area has been severely flooded, and many crops have died. There is also a food shortage, so three or four people are soaking a single cornbread in water and eating it together.

Qiu Tong let her younger brothers share the food so she could drink more water to stave off hunger.

The water resources here are relatively abundant, and they can replenish their water supply for the time being.

Even though the water didn't look very clean, Qiu Tong didn't care.

She first let the water sit for a while, allowing the murky substances floating on the surface to settle down, then took out the clean water from the top and boiled it before daring to take it out to drink.

The water they carried was boiled after being processed by Qiu Tong, making it relatively safe to drink.

If circumstances didn't allow it, Qiu Tong would definitely have taken out the filter from her space to filter the water.

Now Wang Shaoyu is always by her side. Except when she goes to the toilet or washes up, Wang Shaoyu is everywhere. Qiu Tong is getting a little annoyed with him.

Wang Shaoyu originally wanted to appear in front of Qiu Tong more often to increase his visibility, but he didn't expect it to backfire, making Qiu Tong increasingly impatient with him.

Qiu Tong could only pray to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that no one would get sick from drinking.

Xiao Fu heard her thoughts and covered her mouth to chuckle. Her master was really something, praying to gods and Buddhas. She was just helping the main temple with its work, and strictly speaking, she was also a divine messenger. But she couldn't tell her that.

The rain finally subsided in the evening, and Qiu Tong immediately suggested setting off again, otherwise another downpour would hit if it got too late.

She knew that even after the typhoon passed, it would still be accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, and wouldn't end so quickly.

They should hurry on their way while the wind and rain have subsided, otherwise they will have to stop when the heavy rain comes again.

Now, most of the team members listen to Qiu Tong. Wang Shaoyu is basically just a figurehead, and he has no objections because he knows that Qiu Tong's decisions are always correct.

After spending these days together, he and his teammates knew Qiu Tong's personality; basically, whatever she said was true.

Take drought-resistant rice, for example; they didn't expect to develop it so quickly.

After all, those senior researchers in Beijing had been researching for several years without any results, which is why they were so surprised and happy when Qiu Tong successfully planted drought-resistant crops.

Anyway, ever since Qiu Tong successfully grew drought-resistant rice and other drought-tolerant crops, people trust her even more than they trust Wang Shaoyu.

Sure enough, halfway there, they were stopped by heavy rain again, and they had to find another place to take shelter from the rain.

They traveled and stopped frequently, finally arriving at their destination at noon the next day.

They only went to a few places chosen by Qiu Tong to inspect the terrain. When no one was paying attention, Qiu Tong grabbed several handfuls of soil and threw them into her spatial storage with her mind.

She planned to find an opportunity to analyze the ingredients; that was her main reason for insisting on coming here.

She wanted to see where the soil was fertile, the terrain was flat, and there was little water accumulation, so she could plan to plant crops in those areas.

Xiao Fu kindly reminded him, "Master, you can use the higher ground for drainage and plant crops like in terraced fields."

Qiu Tong thought Xiao Fu was right, but she couldn't completely accept his suggestion because the south is mainly plains, and planting should prioritize plains areas.

Not all mountains are suitable for planting crops. It is necessary to consider whether the local terrain and soil are suitable for planting crops. Only after it is determined that the land is suitable can ditches and canals be dug on the mountain.

Besides, irrigation is a difficult problem to solve. Are farmers supposed to carry water up from the foot of the mountain to irrigate the land? That would be too much of a hassle.

If the mountain has its own water source and the land is fertile, then that's a different story.

It took them several days to complete the survey of the terrain.

These past few days, Qiu Tong only ate a few bites of cornbread, leaving the rest for her younger brothers. Fortunately, there were many rivers around, so she later relied on catching fish and grilling them to fill her stomach.

Of course, everyone got a share. In order to be full, everyone worked hard to catch fish, and Qiu Tong was in charge of grilling them.

Because there were no seasonings or condiments, the taste was a bit fishy, ​​but it was good enough that there was food at all, and no one complained.

To save time, Qiu Tong would use her time in the bathroom every night to mentally analyze the soil composition she had collected that day in her spatial dimension.

In order not to waste time, Qiu Tong decided not to go back to the county town, but to go directly to the area she had chosen.

She selected several locations that not only had rivers but also frequently experienced flooding due to heavy rainfall, which were exactly the experimental sites that Qiu Tong needed.

The land in those places is very suitable for growing rice and various crops, which is why Qiu Tong chose these places as experimental sites.

We must first overcome the flood problem, and then solve the grain production problem.

Overcoming flood problems means being able to quickly and effectively respond to flooding.

Measures such as digging drainage channels, cleaning roots and leaves, applying fertilizer, and straightening lodged plants are recommended.

If possible, harvest mature crops in time before the typhoon arrives to minimize losses.

Relevant literature mentions that typhoons occur frequently around the harvest season, so it is important to harvest mature crops before a typhoon arrives to avoid losses.

Before a typhoon arrives, the weather is usually hot and humid. This can be used to determine whether a typhoon is approaching, and timely harvesting of mature crops can greatly reduce losses.

Mass production is a difficult issue to resolve, as it depends on the fertility of the local soil and the extent of the disaster.

Qiu Tong decided to start developing fertilizers after the crops were harvested here, so that she could solve the problem of increasing production.

There are also pests and other disasters to deal with, which need to be addressed step by step.

Let's focus on planting the rice first, and we can deal with the rest later.

The village they found this time still had villagers who heard that Qiu Tong and her group were visiting from the government and were preparing to requisition their land as experimental fields to grow crops suitable for the local area.

The villagers were initially overjoyed when they heard the news, but later they showed expressions of worry.

Some villagers even questioned, "You say it's okay to plant, so we can plant? We've been farmers here for generations, and the typhoon still ruined our harvest."

What makes you think you can successfully grow it? You don't look like one of us common folk at all. Are you some kind of con artist?

Qiu Tong's fair and delicate appearance was indeed not convincing, so Wang Shaoyu stepped forward to speak.
