Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 289 Surprise again and again
After Xiaoxian selected four kinds of plants, Zhang Yiyi took the initiative to take on the important task of sowing the seeds.

It's not so much that Zhang Yiyi wants to help share some work, it's better to say that she wants to take the opportunity to play with the mini planter.

Among the four plants, three need to be sown by seeds, and one is sown by cuttings.

According to the difficulty of sowing, Xiaoxian handed over three kinds of salix, bitter bean and Haloxylon to Zhang Yiyi, leaving only seabuckthorn for himself to plant.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Xu Lanya and his group, and to prevent unnecessary interference with the whole project, Xiao Xian selected three plots of land from the habitats of sand lizards provided by Yiyi.

One is located near Nongfu Sand Spring, another is located behind the center of the strategic house, and another is located in the east of the desert.

These places have one thing in common, the sunshine is relatively sufficient but not too strong.When the temperature cools down at night, it is also sheltered by the nearby terrain.

According to the several areas delineated by Xiaoxian, Zhang Yi remotely controlled the mini-plane.The operation of the mini seeder is easy to say, but in practice, it is not so easy.

The remote control box is about the size of a soap box, and there is a joystick on it that can rotate [-] ​​degrees. It is such a simple joystick. Zhang Yiyi was stunned to let the planter hit the dormitory window twice, and once it was buried in the sand. inside.It was repeatedly sent to the strategic material center three times.

"It's only three things, and the fourth repair needs to be paid." After Romeo No. [-] put this sentence down, Zhang Yiyi was stunned, and complained that she, like most girls in China, played with it when she was a child. Rubber bands, I have played with throwing handkerchiefs, and I have also played house, but I have never played with remote control airplanes.

For such a trivial matter, it is obviously not worthwhile to leave school to find Zeng Xuerou, Zhang Yiyi thought about it, so she asked Wang Shuai for advice.

Wang Shuai groped for a few minutes. In fact, the operation method of the seeder was similar to that of a car. At least he flew the mini seeder with five kilograms of seeds into the sky, and the seeds of Sophora japonica and Haloxylon were planted without any danger.

These two kinds of crops do not need to be turned over and overwatered, just waiting for germination.

For the remaining dozen or so willow cuttings, Zhang Yiyi planted them with trepidation, and looked at them every day, but she was disappointed that the cuttings withered and rotted within a few days.

In order to avoid being discovered by Xiaoxian, Zhang Yiyi secretly bought new cuttings of Salix salix from Romeo No. 200 at a cost of [-].

Going back and forth three or four times made Zhang Yiyi's flesh ache. Just when she thought she was born without the life to plant trees, Salix actually came back to life.

"Planting flowers intentionally will not bloom, but planting willows and willows unintentionally will make shade" is not wrong at all when applied to this fastest growing desert plant.Although compared with the graceful beauty of willows in the south, Salix salix is ​​not so beautiful in shape, but its growth ability is comparable to the wildfire of a prairie fire.

It took only half a month, and a dry cutting pole of seven or eight centimeters grew into a tree more than one meter high.The root system that has penetrated into the sand is even more than a meter deep.

Xiao Xian wondered when she saw the salix that had survived, so she gave Yiyi more than a dozen cuttings, but there were more than 50 salix that grew out.

And Xiaoxian also told Yiyi that the Salix salix outside, which takes several years to survive, will grow into an adult tree with a height of seven or eight meters in just one month in the North Campus after repeated pruning.Just cut off the branches and leaves of Salix salix at will, and it will become a new seedling. This makes Zhang Yiyi vomit blood very much. She spent more than 1000 against the sky in vain, which is really unfair.

The growth of bitter bean and Haloxylon is also very smooth. The first experimental planting has a good effect, among which Salix salix survives the most, followed by bitter bean and Haloxylon.

But the most surprising thing is the sea buckthorn planted by Xiaoxian.Living in the north, Zhang Yiyi is used to seeing all kinds of trees. When she came to the North Campus, the desert plants she saw were cacti and oxtail.She also thought that all the plants that survived in the desert would have no leaves, no flowers, and a gray and ugly appearance. It was not until she saw sea buckthorn growing into flowers and bearing fruit that she changed her mind.

There is also a reason why Xiaoxian chose seabuckthorn to grow it himself.Seabuckthorn is different from other desert crops. Once it grows up, it is very vigorous, but it is very sensitive in its seedling stage.

Seabuckthorn seedlings are afraid of the high temperature and strong light in the desert.Fortunately, with the experience of planting cantaloupe last time, the freely retractable "windproof shelter" impressed Wang Shuai and the robot Romeo No. [-] who were secretly observing.

Wang Shuai sighed secretly in his heart, the strange shed that made him suffer a lot last time was actually created by a freshman.

And Romeo No. [-] sighed with emotion, the test it did for Xiaoxian back then was really substandard.In fact, it's not that the equipment failed, but that Xiaoxian's own strength has indeed improved a lot in the past three or four months.

It was the right decision for Mei Nian to suggest her to come to the Ni Cai Class. Xiao Xian's situation is very special, different from most of the cultivators and even the supernatural beings in this world.Only in the face of the elite education model of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, can she get the most suitable personalized courses.

The education in the Ni Cai class made her seem to be enlightened, and she was exposed to different crops and methods of extracting spiritual energy as much as possible.

With the help of the "oxtail grass shed", the roots of seabuckthorn gradually penetrate into the sand layer. After growing to a height of about [-] centimeters, it can alone withstand the extreme heat and severe cold of the desert.

About a month after planting, under the action of water from Yinpin Space, the seabuckthorn tree has slender bamboo-shaped branches and leaves.For the crops in the desert, in order to retain water and reduce evaporation as much as possible, most of the leaves are small and the roots are developed, and the same is true for seabuckthorn.

Half a month later, the seabuckthorn tree planted behind the Material Strategy Center bloomed first.

When Zhang Yiyi saw the small purple pompom-like flowers, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"It's not fair, why the tree I planted didn't bloom so brightly, but the one you planted bloomed red flowers from this tree?" Zhang Yiyi actually exaggerated a bit.

The flowers of seabuckthorn are not big, but it is an unexpectedly charming color for the desert in area C, which is full of yellow sand.

Bigger surprises are yet to come.

Not long after the seabuckthorn flowers bloomed behind the material center, it attracted several students who went to the material center in Area C to buy things. Before they got close, they heard the sound of "buzzing" bees flapping their wings.

They don't ask 21 when they see people, they sting whenever they meet, and the sting scars will remain swollen and painful for ten days and a half months after Romeo [-]'s emergency treatment.According to the students who were stung, those bees are very big and quick-responsive. Under the leadership of a queen bee, three or five people would not even think about walking into the sea buckthorn.

After repeated several times, Romeo No. [-] could only put up a sign in front of and behind the material center, stating: "There are poisonous bees infested here, please do not approach."

Regarding the warning sign, many students in Area C complained, "To ensure the safety of the students, this kind of evil bees should be expelled or burned with strong measures."

Romeo No. [-] ignored it at all. The presence of bee swarms in Area C meant that the ecological environment in Area C had been greatly improved.

Thanks to the hard work of the wasps, half a month later, the seabuckthorn flowers fell.The green fruit suddenly grew overnight.Under sufficient sunlight, small yellow pepper-colored round berries cling to the branches of sea buckthorn like ants.It makes people feel full of saliva just looking at it.

After the fruit is ripe, break off a branch and leaf, and throw it into your mouth. The juice is sweet and sour, with a strong fruity aroma.

It was only at this time that Romeo No. [-] knew what Xiaoxian said earlier, that all the harvest after picking and planting the trees belonged to her.

Seabuckthorn is currently the tree species that contains the most natural vitamins in the world.The vitamin C content of several small seabuckthorn fruits is even higher than that of kiwi fruit, which is the king of vitamin C.

Now that Xiaoxian agreed, Romeo No. [-] could only watch Zhang Yiyi helplessly picking sea buckthorn fruits branch by branch with a basket on his shoulder.The taste of this fruit is somewhat similar to that of blueberries, and it is very good as a snack.And after eating it every day, Zhang Yiyi obviously noticed that her skin had turned white.

Xiaoxian knew about the nutritional value of seabuckthorn fruit, but there were only three or four trees, and at most only weighed more than 100 kilograms. She didn't have any specific plans, so she left it to Zhang Yiyi to handle it.

After the seabuckthorn fruit matures, it grows fast and falls quickly. Fortunately, Zhang Yiyi's fruit-picking level has been greatly improved in the Lingguo Garden, and he can pick seven or eight kilograms a day.

In the middle, something happened that changed the pattern of the North Campus.

After the hard work of Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi plus the mini plane.Three months later, in the hinterland of the desert in Area C, several small green belts appeared.Although it is only a small area, it is already a good start.

The next step for Xiaoxian is how to expand the sowing area.But before they started planting, they encountered a crisis.

The cause of the matter was still a basket of sea buckthorn.

After the seabuckthorn berries matured, 20 kilograms of berries were harvested from one tree. Because picking was difficult, Zhang Yiyi took the initiative to divide the berries into several batches and sent them to the fruit stand in Area B for sale.After Zhang Yiyi's "incomplete statistical results" display.

The goods placed in the B area are the fastest sellers.No matter where it is, the spending power of the middle class is the most amazing.The lingering prestige of cantaloupe last time has not dissipated, and many B districts

"Xiao Xian, Romeo No. [-] in Area B sent a notice saying that the sea buckthorn fruit over there is sold out, I will send the fruit picked yesterday." Zhang Yiyi carried out three kilograms of sea buckthorn fruit.

After arriving at the fruit stand in area B, Romeo No. 500 said that those who bought seabuckthorn fruits last time hoped to have them delivered to their door. They can buy them at a price of 100 sky-high value per kilogram, and add [-] sky-high value to their door service charge.

Zhang Yiyi didn't realize the tricks in the middle, so she took the sea buckthorn fruit and sent it over.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for her was Xu Lanya and three other female students from the intermediate class.
