Interstellar wasteland: I have a pristine planet

Chapter 3 The Base

Baimang's father was an honest farmer who planted more than ten acres of land at home. In his free time, he worked as a small worker in the infrastructure team, earning 4 to [-] yuan a year.

His mother is a housewife. After finishing the housework, she sometimes goes out to do some odd jobs to earn a little money to supplement the family.

The family is not too difficult, but it is certainly not rich, and it is no problem to eat.

Bai Mang didn't get into any decent university either, he took a junior college exam and studied for two years and found it boring, so he dropped out of school.

Not even a diploma.

After returning home, I didn't have any formal work, so I just stayed at home, and besides going out to do some odd jobs, I made a living by explaining games.

Baimang's grandfather is 82 this year and has a very bad disease, lung cancer!
I stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, and was discharged home because I was too old to have an operation.

The doctor suggested chemotherapy, saying that chemotherapy might cure the disease.

I don't know if he would believe it or not.

Anyway, Bai Mang didn't believe it, he was against grandpa's chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is not as simple as taking painkillers. People undergoing chemotherapy have to endure all kinds of discomfort and pain.

A person in his 80s is already terminally ill anyway, knowing that chemotherapy will not cure well, why should he have to endure that kind of pain?
And the cost is also very expensive.

If there is no chemotherapy, grandpa may still live for a year or so. Once chemotherapy is basically a few months, he will die.

Bai Mang checked on the Internet, and the cases that were cured by chemotherapy were all benign tumors. He did not see any cases of malignant tumors that were cured by chemotherapy.

This is his main reason for opposing Grandpa's chemotherapy.

Early the next morning, Baimang rode an electric scooter to the village where his grandfather lived, eight miles away.

Father and brother plus a sister, a total of three brothers and sisters, grandpa lives with uncle now.

When Bai Mang came to his uncle's house, his parents, uncles, aunts, and uncles were all there, forcing smiles around his grandfather.

Grandpa's spirit is quite good, and he smiled when he saw Baimang coming.

Bai Mang greeted his grandfather, and after greeting him, he went to the outhouse to listen to his uncle and aunt's decision on the treatment of his grandfather.

"The old man is sick, and the children can't just ignore it. Even if they sell everything, they have to be treated." Bai Mang's father, Bai Changjiang, said in silence for a while.

The three brothers and sisters in their family are not well-to-do, but the old man is sick, so he can't just ignore it.

The Bai family is not a family that produces unfilial sons.

His father, uncle and uncle seemed to support his grandfather's chemotherapy. Although Baimang was opposed to chemotherapy, the adults had made a decision, so he didn't express any further opinions.

He knew that his opinion would not change the course of events, and that it was useless to say it.

After making a decision, adults start to do what to do.

Bai Mang went back to Grandpa's room again, holding Grandpa's hand and chatting with Grandpa.

He is the only third-generation male in the Bai family, and his uncle's family has two daughters, so his grandfather usually treats him best.

Bai Mang and his grandfather had just chatted a few words, when Sun Xiaoqiu came out by himself without being invited.

Flying around Grandpa Baimang.

"Don't scare my grandpa."

"Don't worry! He can't see me, oops! There is something wrong with your grandpa's body. There is a round sarcoma in this place, which looks like scales." Sun Xiaoqiu stayed in the air on the right lung of grandpa.

"Can you see my grandfather's symptoms?" Bai Mang was a little surprised.

"What's the matter, I can see everything, and I can see inside your clothes."

Baimang immediately felt that his crotch was chilly.

"My grandpa got lung cancer, you can see his symptoms, so can you get rid of that sarcoma?"

"I can't do it! But there are three kinds of plants on Lanmang Star. If you mash them together and make soup, you can get rid of this sarcoma. Does that count as a cure?"

"Really?" Bai Mang was pleasantly surprised.

Originally, he was just asking casually, but he didn't expect Sun Xiaoqiu to come up with a solution.

Getting rid of the tumor is naturally cured.

"Of course it's true. Plants such as white sourgrass, teng willow, and gold silk lotus on the Lanmang star can eliminate the tumors on you humans."

"Can any tumor be eliminated?"

"Of course, as long as it is a tumor, it can be eliminated!"

Hold the grass!This is to get rich!In the future, a clinic will be opened on the street, specializing in the treatment of various tumors.

Now a treatment for a tumor costs at least tens of thousands of dollars, and at most tens of millions.

I'll charge [-] to [-] at a time, right?
One person is 30 to [-], ten people is [-] to [-], what about a hundred people?What about thousands of people?It's hard not to get rich!

"Small ball! Are there a lot of these three kinds of herbs?"

"Not many! And it's not in one place, so it's hard to find. If you're lucky, you can find it in three or two months. If you point your back, you may not be able to find it in a few years."

Baimang's head was like a boiling pot being poured into a ladle of cold water, cooling from head to heels.

Bai Te is so happy.

How many months will it take to be lucky?His grandpa didn't know if he could survive a few months.

But no matter how difficult it is to find, you have to look for it, Bai Mang decided to go to Lan Mangxing tonight.

Bai Mang bid farewell to his grandfather and rode his electric scooter home.

Going to Lan Mang Xing tonight, of course we have to prepare.

Apart from finding herbs for grandpa, Bai Mang is also going to finish the first task.

He only has one square meter of storage space, so it would be ridiculous to bring a machine there, and he can only use a pickaxe to open up wasteland.

Bai Mang removed the head of the pickaxe and sawed off the handle of the pickaxe, otherwise it wouldn't fit into the storage space.

He also brought a shovel to the open field and dug more than 100 weeds with roots.

Weeds need to be watered after they are planted, otherwise even weeds may not be able to survive, and of course a watering can is indispensable.

It may take a long time to come back to Lan Mangxing this time, Bai Mang also brought food and water.

Just in case, he also prepared a machete more than a foot long and a compass, but he didn't know if it would work on the Lanmang star.

When everything was ready, at twelve o'clock at night, Baimang came to Lanmangxing.

The night of the earth is the day of the Lanman star. I don't know what kind of setting this is.

It was still the place where he appeared last time.

Lanmanxing will definitely come here often in the future, so choosing a long-term fixed foothold is equivalent to a base.

Then radiate around through this base.

Baimang began to look for a suitable place to be a base.

This place should have water facing the sun and shelter from the wind, and it will not be disturbed by natural disasters such as rainstorms and typhoons.

The most important point is that the nearby land should be flat and fertile to facilitate future development.

After some inspections, Baimang chose his base by the river ahead.

The base should naturally be near the water source.

This is a medium-sized river with a width of about three to forty meters. The water is relatively gentle and crystal clear.

Baimang judged the width of the river when it was flooded based on the traces left by the water on the river bank.

So the base was chosen at the foot of a lonely mountain by the river.

The height of this lonely mountain and the ground is about ten meters by visual inspection, and the radius
Bai Mang walked around this lonely mountain, probably only smoking a cigarette.

It is such a hill that is not considered a mountain.

There are many lonely hills like this on the river bank, there are about a dozen of them, and their heights are basically the same.

Just like a copy.
