Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world

On August 8, the rice began to fill. Lin Qian carefully broke open a seed, which was white and milky inside.

The book calls this stage the milk ripening stage, which is the process of continuous accumulation of starch.

On August 8, she wrote in the rice observation record book: The rice has entered the middle stage of milk ripening, the rice grains have become hard and white, and there is a hard feeling in the middle of the rice ear when pressed with the hand.

On August 8, the milky texture of the grains had disappeared, the grains in the middle of the ear were very hard, and some husks had turned yellow.

Lin Qian took a few photos with her camera in the morning. Now the rice has entered the ripening stage and will be ready for harvest in about 7 days!

The harvest time is coming and the sickle is ready.

New rice harvested in season and freshly milled does not require any fancy ways to eat it.

At this time, the moisture, aroma, and nutrients of the new rice are all just right, and the taste is at its peak.

Cooking rice - the rice is rich in aroma, moist and fluffy.

Cook porridge - the rice oil is mellow, fragrant and smooth.

In the afternoon, she continued to read and study in the reading room. When six o'clock arrived, Lin Qian put "Hybrid Rice Breeding and Cultivation" and her notebook in her schoolbag.

Then she went downstairs and rode a small electric car from the campus to the fields. She hummed happily: "Walking on the country road, the songs of the shepherd boys are rippling, the blue sky with the setting sun on the chest, the colorful clouds are the clothes of the sunset. ..."

The evening breeze blows slowly, carrying the smell of various plants, fresh and pleasant.

The morning glow does not go out, but the sunset travels thousands of miles.

It has been sunny these days, and the rice should soon enter the ripening stage.

When she arrived near the field area, she found that it was much busier than usual today.

Something is wrong. Many students have gone home during the summer vacation and school has not started yet, so there are usually very few people in the field area.

And the expressions on their faces looked like they were worried.

Lin Qian took out her mobile phone to check the group messages, and suddenly frowned. A dozen cows of unknown origin entered the farming area.

Suddenly I had an ominous premonition. During the summer vacation, there was only so much edible vegetation in the agricultural areas, and her rice fields were among them!

Lin Qian didn't dare to think any more and hurried to the experimental field.

Far away, she saw something moving slowly in the direction of the paddy fields.

When she got closer, she made eye contact with the two cows.

The two cows were both adults and were chewing rice leisurely. They seemed to realize that their stealing behavior had been discovered, so they lowered their innocent eyes in the angry eyes of the field owner.

"!!!"

Lin Qian felt as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

She divided the 3 square meters of land into a hybrid rice area and an ordinary rice area at the beginning, and planted 30 rice plants on both sides for comparison.

At this time, the paddy fields had been trampled to a state of disgrace, and half of the rice had been eaten.

At the moment of harvest, all efforts are in vain.

Be calm, don't argue with animals, you should settle accounts with their owners...

Lin Qian clenched her hands tightly into fists, but finally couldn't hold it back. She picked up a standing sign next to her and wanted to go to the fields to herd cattle.

At this time, someone hurriedly ran over and shouted: "School girl, it's too dangerous! This cow has no leash. Just now, a classmate was kicked by it and was carried to the infirmary."

Lin Qian stopped and complained loudly: "You have ruined half a year of my hard work!"

These few square meters of land don't seem like much, but she still has to study during the day.

I wake up in the morning to sort out the wasteland and filth, and return with a hoe in the moonlight. This scene actually happened over 100 days ago.

"School girl, my tomatoes were also eaten by them. We can plant them again, but we will lose a lot if we lie on the ground."

These cows were finally taken away by several animal husbandry teachers. After they were full, they became extremely docile.

Before leaving, she left a few piles of natural fertilizer in Lin Qian's paddy field.

The reason Shang Mingzhu caught pigs at the beginning of school was because someone was too weak to hold down the pigs when they were tied up, and the pigs were struggling and ran away.

But this time, the cow was so hungry that it broke open the fence and ran out.

The cattle majoring in animal husbandry were kept well kept, and people were arranged to feed them even during the summer vacation. However, there was an accident during the handover. The next student responsible for feeding the cows remembered the wrong date and did not rush back to school at the appointed time.

Lin Qian and a dozen senior students formed a group called the Suffering Lord Alliance, and everyone complained in the group.

The senior who bravely rushed to the bullfight had his arm in a cast and was currently in good condition. It was the experimental sample he planned to write his graduate thesis on, but it was completely eaten by the cow, and everything had to start all over again.

Judging from this round, her condition was considered the mildest. Lin Qian deeply realized that there was a sad story behind the signboards on the edge of the field.

The student who forgot to come back heard that someone had put a sack on him, and with a bruised nose and face, he reflected on the sincere apology from a group of victims.

The dean of the animal husbandry industry came forward to mediate, saying that the college's supervision was not adequate, and promised to compensate everyone for their losses.

At this point, Lin Qian could only silently accept that half a year of hard work had been in vain.

This time, the rice in dry land and paddy fields has been eaten. It is too late to plant rice in the north at this time.

She plans to learn how to grow winter wheat, so that she can catch up with the sowing of winter wheat in mid-to-late September.

After spending a day in the dormitory, Xu Xiaodong happened to come to Beijing early to report to the University of Political Science and Law.

So Lin Qian called Xiaodong and Li An, and the three of them went to Qingdao together.

Change your mood and keep working hard. How can research be always smooth sailing?

She looked through the information and newspapers and learned that when Mr. Ping first did research, he was not understood by others. It happened that 700 seedlings that were about to bear ears in the experimental field were plucked out overnight.

Mr. Ping did not lose heart and finally got over it.

You need to be able to endure loneliness when doing research.

The three of them had a great time in Qingdao. When Lin Qian went to the beach, she saw large tracts of abandoned farmland in the car.

She asked the driver, and sure enough, it was the intrusion of sea water that turned the paddy fields into salty ones.

When the semester started in September, students in the Agricultural University's experimental class began to choose their own majors, and Lin Qian chose hybrid rice research.

She had a problem when choosing a mentor. There were professors at the Agricultural University who were also conducting rice research, but their focus was on optimizing rice varieties.

Lin Qian felt that she was on a different path than them, so she proposed to her counselor that she should study independently and attend classes like a freshman and earn enough credits at the end of the semester. The school agreed.

She picked up the hoe again and returned to the sad land.

Before planting winter wheat, you still need to plow the dry land and check the soil fertility.

When she arrived at the paddy field, Lin Qian stopped. The chief culprit in the animal husbandry industry had cleared all the victims' fields.

After more than ten days of absence, green grass began to grow sparsely in the fields.

Should we plant something else in this paddy field? Lin Qian thought.

Growing wild rice? Although it is an aquatic plant, its maturity time is no shorter than that of rice, no.

Water chestnuts, mushrooms, and gorgon seeds are all aquatic plants, but it gets cold in the north in two months, so they cannot be grown unless they go to a small shed.

It's not necessary. I'd better not consider planting anything and just leave it idle for now.

We will continue to plant rice and hybrid rice next year, but this time we will have to fence the fields no matter what.

Lin Qian made up her mind and went to the paddy field to pull out the grass. Taking advantage of the recent sunshine, she would turn over the soil and dry the field.

Huh?

Just as she stretched out her hand to pull out the weeds, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her hand. After careful identification, she found that these seemed to be rice seedlings!
