C1429 Food Issues
On the contrary, Wang Yi's thought was that the weaker you have to fight, the more you have to use it.2
After all, during this period, for Wang Yi and the Grand Green Mountain gathering place, it was the best time to raise their strength.
I don't have any hidden dangers around me, so I might as well increase my combat strength. After a period of time has passed, the zombies will evolve again. By then, I might not be able to improve my combat strength.
"Alright, since the leader trusts me, I promise to complete the mission!" Hu Meng clenched his teeth, knowing that this was the chance Wang Yi had given him.
"As for the third thing. Wang Yi paused for a second and became serious.
"The third thing we need to do is to gather the materials from the Grand Green Mountain."
Right now, Grand Green Mountain was gathering a population of eight hundred thousand. Although there was a budget for the food, Lee Weiping had already been assigned to go out and collect the survivors. Who knew if there would be enough food in the future?
In a month or two, the population of those gathered in Grand Green Mountain would grow at an explosive rate. Right now, there were eight hundred thousand survivors, and in the future, there might even be one million survivors, or even one million and five hundred thousand people.
With so many people, the food budget from before was obviously insufficient. Although it was temporarily sufficient, Wang Yi had to prepare ahead of time and consider everything beforehand.
If the survivors did not have enough food and daily necessities, it would not be a problem.
"Chief Wang, according to our projections, the resources available in the Huhhot City city should be able to support our Grand Green Mountain gathering area for one year. Of course, this is only referring to the various living necessities, as for food."
It had already been almost a year since the apocalypse had occurred, and all the food had basically been destroyed and was inedible. Although there were a few food stations in the Huhhot City, because there were still some that had not been able to grow any food yet, they had all been searching through the Huhhot City during the night.
Right now, the only food that could be eaten in the entire Grand Green Mountain Gathering Grounds was the food base that was separated from the rest of the mountain range. However, the food production from the food bases could only be used by the population for now and would only last until June or July of next year.
"Yeah, that's a big problem." Wang Yi let out a long sigh.
Professor Quang's Super Rice could only be grown twice during the short summer in the north. That was his limit.
Wang Yi had also thought about going to other cities to gather food, but he still eliminated this idea.
In the entire Meng Province, there were only a few famous cities, and they were all quite far from here. Aside from the Baotou City, there were probably more zombies inside the Baotou City, if one wanted to gather food, it was definitely a big battle that was not inferior to Huhhot City!
Right now, the gathering place of Grand Green Mountain was already in the process of resting. Wang Yi didn't want to gather any more people to break this hard-earned opportunity.
"Chief Wang, actually, there are still some ways to solve the problem of food." At this moment, Professor Quang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Oh? "What's Professor Quang's idea?" Wang Yi raised his eyebrows. It was already a month later after the second crop had been collected. Although it hadn't snowed in the north by then, the weather had already turned cold. It wasn't suitable for growing more grains.
However, since Professor Quang was an expert in this area, he should have another way.
"Chief Wang, for the past few months, although I have been busy with the matters of the grain base, my research on the grain seeds has not fallen behind." As Professor Quang said this, he took out a handful of rice that had not been peeled off and said.
"This is a new type of rice that I have coincidentally cultivated, with better cold tolerance. Of course, if it's true winter, this rice would still be useless, it's just that the weather is a bit cooler, so it doesn't have much of an impact on it. However, it hasn't been tested yet, so it can only …"
"Professor Quang, do you mean that this kind of seed can also be grown in the fall?" Wang Yi asked with some surprise.
Although Wang Yi wasn't an expert in this field, he still had some basic knowledge.
Autumn's temperature, especially in the north, could be around ten or twenty degrees during the day. At night, it would be above zero, and the temperature would change very quickly.
"No, no, no. I think Chief Wang still doesn't understand what I mean," Professor Quang waved his hand and continued. This kind of seed only has a slightly better winter tolerance, it is far from being able to be planted in autumn or winter. "
"What do you mean?" At this time, Wang Yi was confused. Since they couldn't plant the seed, what was the meaning of Professor Quang taking out these seeds?
"I'm thinking that if we can build a temperature shelter and combine it with the hardiness of the seeds, we should be able to grow grains during a slightly colder season."
