Chapter 472: Planted by yourself?
"Thank you." Li Weiguo took the apple, twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and showed a forced smile.
Normally, if he saw such a big apple, he would jump up happily.
After all, in the current situation where food and vegetables are in short supply, fruits and the like are almost impossible to find.
The value is almost as good as gold, gold is more expensive.
However, Li Weiguo is really not in the mood to be happy because of a piece of fruit.
Mainly, this thing is not a necessity of life.
It's better to have it, and it doesn't matter if there isn't one.
He himself is not the kind of person who likes to eat fruits very much.
Therefore, he is more concerned about the "crisis" he is about to face than Apple.
.........
Seeing that after Li Weiguo took the apple, he returned to the same daze with a sad face just now, Lin Hai sighed.
Apple can't even "coax" you? ? !
He did not believe in evil, so he picked up the apple in his hand and took a bite in front of Li Weiguo.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound.
Overflowing with fruity aroma!
"Hmm~ It's so delicious!" Lin Hai closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
"This apple is really fragrant, crisp, sweet and delicious~"
"Major Li, try it quickly, it's delicious!"
Li Weiguo:…………
This kid is actually still in the mood to eat.
Didn't you see that he was worried about the near future?
Really are……
But after thinking about it, Li Weiguo also felt that it was useless for him to think so much here.
Just in a hurry.
Anyway, here we come,
Just face it calmly.
Thinking this way, Li Weiguo felt more relaxed.
He nodded towards Lin Hai, and then tasted the big red apple in his hand.
"Crack!"
Juicy, sweet and crunchy, filling your mouth with sweetness.
!!!
What kind of apple is this? !
It's so delicious too!
Everyone has eaten apples.
But it was the first time in Li Weiguo's life to eat such a delicious apple.
Unknowingly, Li Weiguo took a few mouthfuls of this fist-sized red apple to show off.
If Lin Hai hadn't reminded him, he would have almost swallowed the apple core.
Seeing Li Weiguo licking his lips with an unfinished expression on his face, Lin Hai said with a slightly proud tone:
"How about Major Li, I'm not lying to you. Isn't this apple delicious?"
Li Weiguo nodded like garlic, "It's delicious, better than all the fruits I've eaten before!"
Then, he subconsciously asked:
"Where did this apple come from?"
But as soon as he asked, he regretted it.
Today's environment is no longer what it used to be.
Especially the topic about this precious food is extremely sensitive!
Because now, an unwritten rule has been formed in the interactions between survivors.
That is, you cannot randomly ask the other party about the source of their supplies.
This is very rude!
It's just like in the prosperous times, you had a precious treasure and you showed it to others, but they turned around and asked you where you got this treasure.
Maybe it's not quite accurate to describe it this way.
But all in all,
That's right! It's rude!
However, this is all Li Weiguo's unilateral feeling.
Lin Hai, who was opposite him, obviously didn't take this seriously.
He is a member of the Fire Team, and besides his teammates, the people he usually interacts with the most are the members of the Dipou Group.
Even the official people of the shelter will only have brief contact with them when there is a mission.
Not to mention the survivors in the shelter.
There is almost no chance of exposure.
Therefore, he didn't know anything about the new unwritten "rules" among the people.
Naturally, they will not abide by it.
Therefore, Lin Hai did not find Li Weiguo's question impolite, and he replied happily:
"Ah, we grew these apples ourselves."
When Li Weiguo heard this, his eyes widened in shock, "Ah? You planted it yourself?"
"Yeah!" Lin Hai nodded, "It's still in the experimental stage now. When the technology matures, it can be widely promoted in shelters."
Lin Hai didn't lie.
This apple was indeed cultivated and grown by him and the other members of the Fire Team.
But the apple tree saplings and the soil used for planting were provided to them by Li Luo through Lu Jingcheng.
There's nothing fancy about saplings.
It was the dwarf potted apple sapling that Li Luo bought when he was stocking up on supplies before the end of the world.
The strange thing is the soil.
That's no ordinary soil.
But the soil in space!
Yes, that's right.
Li Luo specializes in space,
The soil was dug out for planting.
In order to prevent the soil in the space from being polluted by the environment like the soil outside.
Li Luo also specially stored them in flower pots of different sizes indoors.
The place where Lin Hai and the others cultivated apple trees was in the villa where they lived.
They sealed the terrace on the top floor of the villa and transformed it into a glass sun shed.
Not only apples are grown there, but other common fruits and vegetables are also grown there.
However, each variety is an "orphan", with only one seed.
Because Li Luo only gave one copy.
It's not her who picks.
But she doesn't have much in stock either.
of course.
The stock here refers to the stock of seeds she originally purchased.
It does not include the seeds she cultivated herself from those mature crops in space.
The reason why Li Luo didn't take out the seeds she cultivated, but used the original seeds, was also very simple.
Because the seeds she cultivated by herself grew in space.
In a sense, it can be regarded as a mutated crop.
Benign mutation!
Become more delicious~
Therefore, she wanted to see if there were any changes in the crops grown outside the space and the seeds cultivated using the space soil.
If it is the same as in space.
Then Li Luo plans to vigorously develop the soil transfer plan.
Anyway, there is a lot of soil in her space.
Even if you dig for a few lifetimes, you won’t be able to dig out everything!
Now that I have decided to rebuild my home,
Don't be stingy about this~
.........
anyway.
After listening to Lin Hai's explanation, Li Weiguo felt relieved.
Although the current hydroponic technology has become popular in every household in the shelter.
But he knew that research on crop cultivation had been ongoing in the refuge.
Moreover, it’s not just the officials who are doing it.
Some private organizations are also trying to find ways to overcome the current planting difficulties.
After all, many varieties of fruit and vegetable crops can only be grown and cannot be grown hydroponically.
Therefore, in order to prevent those cultivated crops from becoming "extinct", we must not give up this research.
It is worth mentioning that.
In the shelter of n city, which is full of talented people, there is actually a scientific research team that has successfully cultivated crops.
