#943 - Chapter 943 New Food
Qin Jin immediately raised several questions about the super cassava.
The reason for asking these questions was, of course, that he wanted to promote this new type of crop as soon as possible!
Luyuan is not short of people now!
After the start of the year, accepting the cooperation of hundreds of thousands of survivors from Guangnan Province, he would not be as hesitant as before.
In addition, spring has just arrived.
Now is the time to plant this super cassava!
"We are already conducting breeding in advance. An ordinary plant of this cassava can be divided into about 100 new cuttings! If the base wants to plant on a large scale, it will soon have a large number of plants!"
"As for confidentiality, without the plant inducer specially developed by our base for fertilization, those cuttings will not bear cassava tuber fruits after planting!"
"This plant inducer is made of genetic extracts from 27 kinds of plants mixed in different proportions. This is the best ratio we have found after a large number of experiments! Even if outside forces get the cuttings, they will be useless without the inducer to fertilize these cuttings."
"The cassava in your hand, President Qin, can mature in 3 months because we took special care of it and provided sufficient nutrition. If it is placed in the wild, under harsher conditions, it may take about 4 months, which means it can be harvested three times a year!"
"This cassava is very easy to plant. As long as it takes root and survives, it can absorb nutrients from the acidic soil and grow stronger with just a little watering. It doesn't require much time to take care of at all!"
"We have also studied various ways to eat this cassava. Although its tuber fruits cannot be eaten directly, the content of linamarin and lotaustralin is many times lower than that of normal cassava! It can be eaten and digested directly after simple roasting or boiling!"
"To improve the taste, you can naturally extract starch to process it into various other foods."
Wu Qinuo answered Qin Jin's questions in one breath.
Obviously, he had already made relevant preparations and researched the things that Qin Jin cared about before, and finally came up with the current finished crop.
Incredible!
A plant with so many advantages was born!
After listening to Wu Qinuo's description, Qin Jin felt that the crop he was holding in his hand was simply born for the end of the world!
Too perfect!
If this is the case, Luyuan will be able to completely control the planting of cassava, and even not be limited to planting within the base, and can be directly placed outside the Luyuan area!
You must know that the planting area inside the base is limited, and the normal farmland is not much to begin with, so Luyuan has been trying to expand the yield of super rice, which is very difficult.
But now super cassava is much easier to grow than the delicate rice!
According to the description, this thing can survive and grow even if it is directly inserted into the wild!
"I want to raise the confidentiality level of the inducer to the highest! Except for the two of you, no one else can come into contact with this thing!"
"Start spreading the planting of this cassava immediately. There is basically no enemy of ours in Guangnan Province now! Plant it boldly!"
Qin Jin quickly told the two of them his decision after a little thought.
Promote it immediately!
With the emergence of super cassava in the future, it will be like adding wings to a tiger for Luyuan!
Qin Jin will never dislike having too much food in his base.
At present, Luyuan can barely support a large number of survivors, but most people are still hovering on the border between starvation and non-starvation.
Not to mention eating enough, in the long run, many people will eventually suffer physical collapse and be unable to bear it.
Mutated fish meat is just opening the door to cooperation.
Super rice is mainly used for the formal members of Luyuan to eat, and is used to occasionally reward those cooperative survivors who perform well.
But if super cassava can be planted on a large scale in the future as described by Yuan Mu and the two, then Luyuan will have the opportunity to open the door to more provinces!
Only then will it be possible to support millions of survivors!
Yuan Mu and Wu Qinuo naturally knew the importance of this plant, and nodded repeatedly to show their understanding of the leader's instructions.
Because the matter was of great importance, Qin Jin planned to call other cadres together tomorrow to hold a meeting to discuss the planting arrangements for this cassava.
But what can be imagined is that Luyuan will definitely have more and more food in the future!
With food and guns.
This kind of life can make people feel at ease!
"President Qin, I have another matter to report to you. We are carrying out a new project, which is to find a way to remove the acidity of the soil outside. That may also be a good direction."
Just as Qin Jin was about to leave, Yuan Mu mentioned another matter.
They are actually trying to solve the problem of acidic soil outside?
"It is not a solution for us humans to always abandon the vast land outside. Even if cassava can adapt to the wild, the diversity of plants in the world will be lost sooner or later. If we can find a way to solve the problem of acidic soil, I think it will be better."
As an expert in the field of botany, Yuan Mu, this cadre, has always wanted to find a way to solve the land problem in the end of the world, so he came up with this idea.
Qin Jin, of course, had no objection to this.
"Agreed!"
"You can raise any needs you have, and I can approve them as long as the base can do it!"
He was in a good mood and was happy to do so.
He will slowly discuss the specific related matters with Yuan Mu later.
Finally, Qin Jin left with the good news of the breakthrough progress of cassava and went back to share it with Zhao Ling.
The next day.
Xiang Province.
Anyong City.
As soon as it dawned, Gao Lan and Lin Xiaofei left their residence early and went to a certain place.
Today, they are going to find several sisters who saved them in the end of the world to join the Luyuan base!
This kind of good thing is worth sharing with other companions who are struggling to survive in this end of the world.
It's just that the sisters live far away. After they finished the assessment yesterday, it was already afternoon and there was not enough time to go back and forth, so they decided to go there today.
It took them three or four hours to ride their bicycles around those wide roads and places where scattered survivors ventilated as much as possible, and they arrived at an old suburban area on the other end of Anyong City at more than ten o'clock in the morning.
Those sisters live here.
"Sister Lan, we're here. How do we notify Huang Liting and Xiao Siqi now? They shouldn't be at home at this time, looking for food or supplies, right?"
Hiding the bicycle, Lin Xiaofei glanced at the dilapidated old city building, shrank her neck slightly and said to Gao Lan.
The latter calmed down and remembered something from last year when she saw this place.
The next moment, she quickly put it behind her and said:
"If they are there, we will quickly finish talking and leave! If they are not there, we will leave a note and send the message and leave. Anyway, we won't get entangled with others for too long!"
Gao Lan was obviously prepared. After telling Xiaofei, she walked towards the old city area in front.
