#671 - Chapter 671 Good News on Food
"How is the planting situation in our base recently? And is there any progress on Kino's cassava?"
Although he roughly knew the information about the planting in his base, Qin Jin still wanted to hear the planting team leader's own statement.
Perhaps there would be some different answers and suggestions.
At this time, there were no outsiders in the leader's office except for the leader and himself, so Yuan Mu broadened his voice and replied to his boss.
The matter about super rice is still relatively secret within the base for the time being, and most people do not know that the rice they are planting is growing so fast.
The maintenance after planting is basically taken care of by specialized planting department personnel.
The super rice that was found from Hainan Province before and successfully re-cultivated has all been planted, and after several months of drought, it is now almost time for harvest.
"President Qin, there are no problems with the super rice! Our planting department has been fully taking care of the growth of those rice plants, and everything is growing according to the expected pace!"
"We initially estimate that it will take about a month to harvest the super rice for the first time!"
"And the rice ears that are produced have completely met our expectations! That is to say, the rice planted using this rice will have an increased yield of about 2-3 times!"
There's still a month!
This time is very fast!
You must know that after finding it from Hainan Province before, a lot of time was wasted on cultivating seedlings, and the official planting time was almost in July.
It is now approaching October, less than three months have passed, and it will be harvested in another month, this speed is definitely amazing!
Moreover, one harvest is nearly 3 times the previous harvest.
And this rice can be planted three seasons a year, which means that a planting cycle can be completed in about four months.
This speed is simply streets ahead of the original!
If the time is extended to one year, or even three or five years, the harvested grain will be even greater!
With this result, the previous super rice plan can be completely called a success!
Qin Jin listened with joy.
Food has always been one of the most important keys in the apocalypse.
Without enough food to support him, he would not dare to take too big a step in developing the base.
Now with this good news, the recent great development of Green Source will be even more logical.
He can even consider expanding the number of survivors under Green Source's control again!
Set a small goal.
First, control 10,000 people!
"Good! Continue to keep a close eye on the planting of super rice! You can report to me immediately if you have any problems!"
Qin Jin made this verbal promise to Yuan Mu countless times.
Anyway, he would give it to his subordinates when he was in a good mood, and it was up to them whether to use it or not.
"President Qin, the situation with super rice is good, but there has not been much breakthrough progress with Kino's magical cassava. We have tried many methods, but we still cannot solve the problem of the cassava's starch yield and growth cycle."
"Now this cassava has only been trained by us to be able to adapt to growing on most of the acidic soil outside, and it also has a certain ability to resist cold and cold."
"But without enough starch yield, that is, it cannot bear fruit tubers, it still cannot become human food, and its growth cycle is too slow now, it takes a full half a year to enter the growth stage, which completely fails to meet our requirements."
Yuan Mu continued to introduce Qin Jin to the current situation of the magical cassava.
Qin Jin's brows were sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned as he listened.
It's really a pity.
If this cassava could achieve the characteristics he had previously requested, there would be groundbreaking changes in this apocalypse.
Future humans may never have to endure deadly hunger again.
Of course, he did not blame Yuan Mu and Wu Qinu, the two people who led this plan.
It is unlikely that they would want to create something that could change the current situation of mankind in just a few months.
According to what Yuan Mu said just now, the cassava has already been able to resist cold and drought, and it is already rare to have a stronger ability to adapt to the outside world.
From a certain point of view, this can already be regarded as a wild crop that can be initially promoted and planted.
"Continue to work hard on the cassava. I also know that this matter cannot be rushed. You can handle it according to your own pace, but don't forget to pay attention to confidentiality!"
"Don't let anyone know before the final results are achieved!"
Qin Jin gave a slight encouragement, and then emphasized the safety and confidentiality of the cassava.
He did not intend to release the current stage results of this thing before new epoch-making results came out.
Although the probability of being discovered and researched by other forces outside is extremely low, Qin Jin still did not want to let it out.
Super rice is on the right track and can meet the development needs of the base in the short term.
When Green Source continues to develop and needs to expand the number of people again, it is estimated that there will be greater progress in cassava or grain planting.
Before this winter, he plans to have people continue to plant more super rice in the underground spaces newly excavated in the headquarters.
He doesn't want to put food in places other than the headquarters for the time being.
In the future, at most, it will be placed in the underground spaces of the three large residential areas near the headquarters. It is estimated that this will be considered when it is dug out later.
After continuing to talk with Yuan Mu for a while about the base's grain planting problems, and also learning about the situation of poultry and animal husbandry, he let this old scholar leave after obtaining relatively satisfactory answers.
After finishing the food problem, Qin Jin rushed to the experimental building of the main base.
He was interrupted before due to the attack of the New Hope base while he was in the process of restarting his evolution. After such a period of time, he estimated that the situation had stabilized again recently, and it was time to restart his evolution career!
Walking through the familiar aisle of the experimental building, he soon appeared at the door of Zhou Qihang's busy office.
"How is it?! Are the experimental products you've captured recently enough for you? If not, I'll have people capture more!"
He shouted unceremoniously at the old Zhou who was checking the information.
The latter then realized that his boss and top Boss had arrived.
What followed was naturally a warm exchange.
Qin Jin also learned that there had been no major progress in the research on D-serum in the laboratory recently.
Very normal.
"Boss, I have enough experimental samples for the time being! You've captured a lot recently, and I haven't used them all yet."
Zhou Qihang rubbed the sparse hair on his head and casually replied to the boss's question earlier.
God knows how terrifying the words in his mouth were.
This is the end of the world.
Human life is as cheap as dirt.
At the same time, it is also a paradise for crazy leaders like Qin Jin and perverted scientists like Zhou Qihang.
Qin Jin continued to chat with Old Zhou here for a while, and ended the conversation after nearly twenty minutes. By the way, he also took away nearly ten D-serums that Old Zhou had recently extracted.
This amount should be enough for him to use for a long time.
Since it has been stable recently, let him see the extent to which his power can eventually evolve!
