Chapter 598 The Temperature Rises by 30 Degrees

Although Xia Qing said that he has begun to consider letting Territory No. 12 join the alliance, he has not yet taken any actual action, so the Hidden Valley cannot be disclosed to Tang Huai yet. Shi Du responded with a smile, "Thank you Brother Huai for reminding me. My dad said to raise a few to try. If you encounter one with high stability, it will explode. If they all turn red, you will be unlucky."

There are many people who have this idea of ​​exchanging crab seedlings with their family. Tang Huai chuckled, "Just give it a try."

After the group reached the foot of the third peak, they divided into two groups. Zhao Ze, Yue Haiying, Tang Huai and their two bodyguards took samples in the dangerous area, surveyed the terrain, checked the thickness of the snow, and measured the amount of snow water. Xia Qing, Qi Fu and Shi Du rushed to the upper part of the third peak to clean up the snow that may flow into high-risk areas and mountain cracks in advance to reduce the flood control pressure in these two areas.

Tang Huai originally wanted to act with Xia Qing, but Xia Qing refused directly because he was too weak and it was too dangerous to skate on the side road.

It won't work if you don't do it directly. Tang Huai likes to push his nose and face. Whenever Xia Qing relaxes his attitude, he will follow suit.

Tokiwa stayed on the mountainside to clean up the snow and keep a lookout. Xia Qing and Qi Fu continued to walk up, opened the iron door of the bear cave and entered the hidden valley.

Seeing the neat rice seedlings in the field, Xia Qing's eyes suddenly brightened and her breathing became easier.

Qi Fu beamed with joy, "It looks good, it looks really good. Xia Qing, what kind of green light rice is yours? The color is real."

Members of the territorial alliance jointly cultivate rice seedlings in the rice fields, but each family's rice seedlings are kept separately. Xia Qingtian has the most varieties of rice seedlings. Except for the yellow light rice LD-10 with more than 7 points of killing elements that Liehuo compensated the lords, most of them are varieties she exchanged for herself.

The color of rice seedlings will show visible differences to the naked eye depending on the content of the plant's chemical elements. The less the element content of the plant, the more the color of the leaves tends to be that of the normal rice seedlings before the natural disaster. Qi Fu said that the color of Xia Qing's rice seedlings was correct, which meant that the color of these rice seedlings was obviously greener than those in our fields.

Xia Qing explained, "The greenest green rice and the yellow rice next to it are the same variety, called J-2."

"New variety?!" Qi Fu was happy, "When the rice is harvested in June, we will see how the yield and stability of this rice are. If it is better than Liehuo's LD-10, we will all plant J-2 in the next crop. ”

After the addition of radioactive elements and radioactive elements to the atmosphere, Blue Star plants have become more and more likely to be eliminated. Plants that have evolved to adapt to the new environment may not necessarily be suitable for human consumption. In order to survive, humans need to select and cultivate crop seeds from evolved plants that humans can safely eat and have certain disaster resistance, insect resistance, and antibacterial capabilities.

Crop seeds cultivated through screening are usually named using a combination of letters and numbers. The letters are determined by the breeder and can be one letter or multiple letters, and the letters have various meanings.

Some letters indicate the type of plant, such as M for wheat, Y for corn, and D for rice. Some letters indicate the place of origin, such as the high-quality rice BS-6 of Baisan Base. Some names are named after the place of origin plus the category. , such as the rice seed LD-10 cultivated by Agni; the breeder does not say what the meaning of some letters stands for, and no one knows, such as the "J" in the rice seed J-2 in Territory No. 7.

The number after the seed category represents the number of generations the seed has been cultivated. LD-10 means that the rice seeds of the LD variety have been screened and bred for 10 generations, and J-2 means that the rice seeds of the J variety have been screened and bred for two generations.

Seeds grown for two generations are, of course, new varieties. New varieties must show characteristics that are significantly better than existing varieties in some aspects before they can be recognized by relevant agencies and allowed to be promoted.

Xia Qing nodded, "It should be better than D-10."

It's not that Xia Qing is blindly confident, but that she believes in the technical level of Territory 7.

Qi Fu went from field to field to check the growth of rice seedlings, while Xia Qing went to find the plucked weasel who was guarding the valley for her, "Is the plucker here? The plucker..."

Xia Qing only called for a minute before the round little head of the plucked weasel poked out from the crack in the stone. It first glanced at Qi Fu with its dark eyes, and after confirming that there was no threat, it looked at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing placed a fist-sized piece of barbecue on the stone and thanked the hero who guarded the cave for her. "Happy Chinese New Year, plucked. This is the rabbit meat roasted this morning. Eat it while it's hot."

The weasel immediately picked up the barbecue and got into the crack in the stone. Before Xia Qing could leave, it came out again, with its two round little ears standing up and looking at Xia Qing with its black eyes.

This expression is exactly the same as that of the freeloading red squirrel in Xia Qing's territory.

Xia Qing smiled, touched his pocket again, and took out a piece of dried meat roasted for the sick wolf, "There is no more barbecue, only dried meat. Take it and eat it. Thank you for helping me guard the valley."

The weasel smelled it, picked up the dried meat and ran away.

Qi Fu, who saw this scene from a distance, laughed, "My wife said that every time she comes to work in this valley, knowing that Wong Tai Sin is guarding here makes her feel very at ease."

Xia Qing also laughed, "I haven't heard the name Huang Daxian'er for many years."

Qi Fu opened the canal and watered the seedlings while chatting with Xia Qing, "Before the natural disaster, the two of us drove long distances in a big truck day and night. We were most afraid of violating taboos. If a snake was crushed on the road, we would have to find a temple to burn it." Zhu Xiang ensures safety, but if you encounter a weasel, you have to go around the road..."

The two chatted and began to install water deflectors for the cracks at the top of the valley.

The climate of Blue Star after the natural disaster is very different from that before the natural disaster. In the next half month, the temperature of Huisan Base will rise from more than 20 degrees below zero to above zero, and the highest temperature can even reach 11 or 12 degrees.

The temperature rise of nearly 30 degrees will not only bring great challenges to various infrastructures and human health, but also cause the snow to melt. The snow water in the mountains and forests will gather into streams and flow into the valleys, and the calm rivers will become turbulent.

If the water retaining diversion plate is not installed in the mountain cracks above the hidden valley, the snow water mixed with stones flowing into the cracks will form waterfalls, smashing and washing away the soil and seedlings in the valley farmland.

The easiest and most direct way to avoid this disaster is to cover the top of the mountain cracks with rainproof cloth and let the snow water flow directly down. But in this way, it can be found from high altitude that there is something wrong with the mountain cracks, exposing the existence of the valley.

Therefore, after discussion, the members of the Lord Alliance decided to adopt the method used by the humans who lived here before, and continue to install baffles on the top of the hidden valley to prevent the incoming snow water from hitting the farmland, but let the snow water pass through the baffles and then flow out of the mountain cracks on the east and west sides of the valley.

The steel pipes, wood and rainproof cloth required for this project have been prepared long ago. Today, Xia Qing and Qi Fu’s task is to install the water-retaining diversion board.

For two power evolvers who have worked in the construction team for many years, installing a water-retaining diversion board over 700 meters long is a piece of cake.

The board was installed and the rice field was irrigated. The two left the cave, went around the top of the mountain crack, and began to clear the snow covering the mountain at the upper end of the crack, so as to prevent the snow from melting in large quantities and carrying rocks down to destroy the water-retaining diversion board they had just built.

This work took a whole day.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Xia Qing, Qi Fu and Shi Du went down the mountain and joined Zhao Ze and others, and rushed back to the safe area together. Tang Huai dragged his legs and followed Xia Qing, looking listless.
