Chapter 393
The staff were a little surprised. Their main task now was to find people who were good at growing mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms.
Only with these talents can the mushroom and fungus cultivation base be developed.
It’s such a large base with quite a few people, and in the end we actually found five people who had grown mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms.
The planting base has been built, and the next step is seed selection.
But at this time, where can you find fresh mushrooms or fungal spores?
Zhou Shuwan had already thought of this plan when he proposed it.
She and Xiao Xiao made a deal using the fungal spores collected in the space.
She solemnly said to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, I know there are some helicopters and planes parked at the base. The authenticity of the video that was originally posted online has been proven countless times now. So, I want to exchange these precious fungus spores with you for a helicopter."
Xiao Xiao hadn't expected this at all. She was surprised and pondered for a moment before saying, "Wanwan, are you worried about a major earthquake in the future..."
"Yes!"
Zhou Shuwan's attitude was quite frank. "We've been friends for so many years, and I won't hide it from you. This time, Brother Xiaoyu and I did find some rare supplies on our trip south, including mushroom spores. There are shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms. The quantity isn't too large, but it's enough for the first use of the planting base. Of course, I don't need to tell you the value of these mushroom spores, you already know..."
Nowadays, the vegetables that people often eat, apart from a few green vegetables that are easy to grow hydroponically, are only potatoes and some dried goods that are still well preserved.
But, this is far from enough.
If fungi can be added to people's dining tables, then both the filling and nutritional aspects can be greatly improved.
It can also provide more jobs for the survivors in the base.
Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to think carefully before I can reply to you."
"it is good!"
Within two days, news came from Xiao Xiao that he agreed to Zhou Shuwan's exchange conditions.
A helicopter might be expensive, but post-apocalyptic seeds are also categorized as expensive.
Moreover, there is Zhou Shuwan’s gratitude for saving Meng Mingyue’s life.
Top-notch antibiotics are not something you can just get.
Zhou Shuwan never mentioned the value of the box of antibiotics, but Xiao Xiao was not an ungrateful person. He could make the decision on his own for a helicopter without even going through the base.
So Zhou Shuwan used some fungal spores to exchange for a half-used helicopter.
Qi Mingyu has driven all kinds of transportation in the army, and flying a helicopter is a basic operation for him.
He and Zhou Shuwan went to the huge garage where the helicopter was parked and started the helicopter in the temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius.
The buzzing sound of helicopters resounded throughout the base, and countless survivors looked up at the sky curiously, wondering whether it was a private or base plane flying?
Are you carrying out some mission?
Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan drove the helicopter to the foot of a snowy mountain and smiled at each other.
With this helicopter, their chances of survival will increase by half when a devastating earthquake strikes in the future.
Because of this batch of spores, the base quickly started to grow fungi.
The planting staff were all selected from the greenhouses. A total of more than 200 people were selected from the four planting bases.
No salary is paid before the mushrooms are grown, only three meals a day are provided.
When the fungi are profitable, part of the profit will be used to pay the employees' salaries.
After Xiao Xiao gained the leadership of the base, he issued three policies in succession with great vigor and determination.
The first one is that the military will announce the close combat techniques used in the military, and civilians in the base will practice them uniformly to improve their combat effectiveness.
As soon as this decree was issued, the base was in an uproar.
Most of them are ordinary people, and it is mostly luck that has allowed them to survive until now. But now the world is becoming more and more dangerous, and learning certain fighting skills can greatly increase people's chances of survival.
The second step is that the base begins to be managed in a semi-militarized manner, with the military taking a higher position than the government, eliminating all the cumbersome and trivial procedures.
