Star Farm

Ming Luo sneered and said, "Have you lost your mind? Who told you that I am a federal spy."

Wen Bai asked suspiciously: "Are you really not a spy?"

"You don't want to know if I'm a spy, you'll know who I want to contact after you borrow me the terminal." Seeing that Wen Bai was still a little hesitant, Ming Luo folded his arms and looked at him impatiently, "You think If you don't lend me, others won't lend me?"

Wen Bai thought about it, what he said was right, instead of guarding against it, it's better to see what he really wants to do.Wen Bai took off the terminal on his wrist and opened the interface before giving it to him.

Ming Luo clicked on the video without hesitation, quickly entered a series of numbers, and waited a while, "The number you dialed is not within the service area."

Ming Luo didn't give up and dialed again, and also reminded the other party that he was not in the service area. After repeated several times, he still couldn't dial. Ming Luo's face was a little ugly.

He held the terminal with such force that he was about to crush it, Wen Bai's heart trembled when he saw it, then he threw it casually, Wen Bai quickly caught it, and asked doubtfully: "Can't you get it out? "

Ming Luo was very depressed at the moment. He said: "It should be that cross-region communication is restricted. You can ask the people here if they can connect to the star network."

Wen Bai half-understood, opened the door, greeted a little nurse, and after asking a while, came back and said in a heavy tone: "No, the space station here is good and bad, and sometimes it can't be connected to the star network for several years in a row."

Ming Luo frowned deeply, "I see."

Unable to contact the outside world, the spaceship is broken again, and I don’t know when it will be repaired. Wen Bai doesn’t care, he is penniless, and once he leaves Wenduoxing, he has nowhere to go. The only bad thing is that he is still Minors are supposed to go to college. After five years of college and two years of internship, they can come out to work just after turning 25.

These days, there is no college degree, no skills, and no one wants to move bricks, because now bricks are moved by machines, which is convenient and saves money. Compared with human labor, it is much more expensive.

The repair fee was not paid, and the other party was not in a good mood, so Wen Bai didn't stay much, and returned to Duowei Manor after sitting for a while.As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the wreckage of his spaceship had been delivered. Yesterday he inadvertently mentioned to Zhang He that his spaceship was still in the wild. Unexpectedly, Zhang He kept it in mind and sent it to him today.

Wen Bai felt warm in his heart, if he really had no way to leave, it would be a good choice to settle in Wen Duoxing.

Wen Bai dialed Zhang He's video number, thanked him, walked slowly to the window while chatting, looked down, saw a barren land in front of him, Wen Bai suddenly thought, "Can you find some seeds for me?" .”

"What kind of seeds do you want?" Zhang He asked.

"Are there any crop seeds?"

Zhang He was a little embarrassed, "There are some, but they can't grow. You don't know. We don't have any equipment here. It's too difficult to feed them."

"It's okay, you can give me some first, and I'll try to see if I can grow a living." Actually Wen Bai is not very confident, after all, the knowledge he has learned is far from the actual situation now, but it is better than doing nothing.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Seeing that Zhang He was about to hang up the video call, Wen Bai called to him, "Don't worry, I still need some farm tools." After thinking for a while, he said, "No need for farm machinery or the like, ordinary hoe and shovel will do. .”

"I have these at home, and I'll bring them to you."

Wen Bai didn't mention pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. Now he doesn't have any ingredients, and Wen Bai doesn't plan to cook by himself. In fact, his cooking skills are average, and the home-cooked dishes are okay. If he wants to open a farmhouse, his cooking skills will definitely not be good. , so he originally wanted to hire a chef after opening the farmhouse.It is said that it is a farmhouse, but in fact there are not many tourists who really know how to cook. They come to fish shrimps, pick a vegetable, and experience rural life. It is simply impossible.

Zhang He came very fast, just after Wen Bai had finished a tasteless nutritious meal, the other party was outside the door, Wen Bai didn't bother to go so far to greet him, so he opened the door with the terminal and let him in directly.

Zhang He carefully held the seeds in front of Wen Bai, only a few seeds the size of a fingernail, "The seeds you want."

"That's all?" Wen Bai asked.

Zhang He sighed, his simple and honest face was full of sorrow, "These are vegetable seeds left over from many years ago, and only the last few are left. I don't know if we can grow them alive. We don't have equipment, let alone waste it."

"What kind of crop are these seeds?" There are countless types of crops, and Wen Bai can't recognize every kind of crop, only the seeds of commonly used vegetables and fruits can be recognized at a glance.

"Green seedlings." Zhang He said as he clicked on the terminal to show Wen Bai the holographic photo. Wen Bai looked at it and was amused. Isn't this a sprout, but it grows too fast, ten times the size of the original sprout, with leaves It looks like a big fan. Thanks to Wen Bai's good eyes, he recognized that it was a small sprout. The sprouts have a short growth period and do not need to be fertilized or sprayed. The most important thing is that they can be cultivated without soil.

Many nutrient solution formulas for soilless cultivation flashed through Wen Bai's mind, each suitable for cultivation with different water qualities and substrates.The reason why soilless cultivation cannot achieve mass production is because the germination rate of the evolved crop seeds is less than [-]%. In order to increase the germination rate of the seeds, the seeds must be soaked in the culture solution before planting, and the price of these culture solutions is relatively low. The price of the nutrient solution that people eat is several times more expensive, no matter how you calculate it, it is not worth it.

The human body cannot lack vitamins, and plants suitable for soil conditions cannot be cooked and eaten normally, so people think of extracting vitamins from certain plants to solve this problem.

Why do people make meat food into cans? It is said that many years ago, human beings experienced a long war after entering the interstellar civilization. Canned food is a strategic material, easy to carry and store, and it is not enough to leave it for decades question.As for why not cook directly, because the planting conditions are not allowed, lack of seasoning, no matter how good the cooking skills are, they can't make delicious food. Over time, people get used to eating canned food and nutrient solution.

After sending Zhang He out, Wen Bai carried the small hoe to the field where irises had been planted. Since irises had been planted in this field, it would be possible to grow vegetables in this field after improvement.

Wen Bai went down with a hoe. After digging a hole, he squatted down and picked up some soil. The surface was a bit dry. Wen Duoxing's rainy season is from September to December, and it's only June now, and there is not much rainfall.The soil in the field is light brown, a bit like yellow clay. The yellow clay has poor fertility and permeability, and is acidic, so it cannot be directly planted with crops.

Wen Bai didn't plan to plant anything now. He packed the soil in a bag and took it back. He will make a simple instrument later to test the pH value of the soil, and then decide what plants to plant to improve the soil.

After returning from the field, Wen Bai took a shower, changed into pajamas, and prepared to take a nap. After lying down, he remembered to check the information of "Wenduo" on the Internet. able to.

Click on the terminal and enter the Wen Duoxing library. As soon as you enter the word "Wen Duo", many news pop up immediately.

"Star calendar 1921, the recruits accidentally saw through the federal conspiracy. Although the empire narrowly won, it still suffered heavy casualties."

"Astral calendar in 1925, Major General Wenduo led the Third Army into the line of defense and rescued General Aikewei."

"Star calendar 1930, Major General Wen Duo was promoted to general, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally conferred the title of nobility."

But after being awarded the title in 1730, there was no news about Wen Duo on the Internet. It seemed that this person disappeared overnight. Some people said that she got married and had children, and some people speculated that she was imprisoned. There are different opinions on the Internet, but so far no one knows her whereabouts.

Wenduo Star was the artificial planet given to Wen Duo when she was awarded the title. At that time, the planet was still a prosperous tourist star. Admiral Wen Duo renamed the planet "Wenduo Star".Speaking of this, I have to mention that the empire prohibits the sale of private planets, and only citizens who have made great contributions are eligible to own them. If the Wen family does not have a direct descendant to inherit the title, the government will take back the planet.

Aristocratic titles Nobles have vain titles, and they don’t actually have many privileges. They can only collect [-]% of the planet’s taxes. The consuls are appointed by the Emperor Star government and are not managed by the nobles. Wen Duoxing is the only one. Exceptionally, the consul is appointed by the head of the Wen family.

After reading these materials, Wen Bai sighed endlessly. The Wen family is the descendant of General Wen Duo. Unfortunately, the descendants of the next few generations did not live up to the expectations and did not inherit the excellent qualities of General Wen Duo. The property of the family has been squandered. If the old Patriarch Wen was not capable, they might have sold the old house of the Wen family.

After falling asleep, Wen Bai found himself in the dream of last night again. On the first field, the radishes he planted were ripe and ready to be harvested.

"Ah, my radish!" Wen Bai was so happy, he rushed over to grab the radish stalk with both hands and pulled it out suddenly. When he pulled it out, he pulled out a bunch of radishes.

Wen Bai sat on the ground, stunned. He counted the radishes on the ground, a total of sixteen.Wen Bai picked up a radish in front of him, the radish didn't have any dirt on it, it was as clean as if it had been washed.Wen Bai didn't care if he washed it or not, anyway, he was in a dream, and he wouldn't have diarrhea after eating it. He grabbed the radish and opened his mouth to take a bite. When he took a bite, the juice splashed and the taste was crisp and crisp, which was better than any he had eaten before. Any turnip is good.

Wen Bai gnawed on the radish with his head buried like a rabbit. After eating a radish, Wen Bai rubbed his stomach and finally felt full. It has been almost two days since he came to this world. This is the first time he ate such a happy.

Looking at the fifteen radishes that hadn't been eaten, Wen Bai said regretfully: "It would be great if I could bring these radishes to reality." As long as he thought of waking up from the dream and facing the canned nutrient solution again, Wen Bai felt Extremely painful.

As soon as the idea sprouted in his mind, Wen Bai woke up from the dream. As soon as he woke up, he saw a pile of radishes on his body. He was shocked holding the radish, and couldn't recover for a long time.
