In the last days, I saved the earth by planting

Chapter 168 Establishing a Laboratory

Three days after returning home, Yan Xiaomi was ready to start tidying up the house, and Yan Liang had almost turned the Rising Sun Base around in the past two days, so they started tidying up together.

Although the house has always been lived in, but after staying outside for a year, there are many people coming in and out of the house, and there is a lot of dust in some dead corners.

It took the two of them a day to remove and wash all the sheets, quilts, curtains, etc. at home, wipe the furniture clean of dust, and mop the floor several times until it was shiny.

The newly cleaned house looks very comfortable. After dinner, the brother and sister brewed a pot of tea and sat leisurely on the stone table in the yard chatting, smelling the sweet fragrance of roses, making their lives extraordinarily peaceful.

After finishing the housework, he still has to do the work in the fields on the two mountains, but before doing the work, he has to drive those chickens, ducks and rabbits home and lock them up, so as not to get in the way.

There are hundreds of chickens, ducks and rabbits scattered in the mountains, and Yan Xiaomi would not be so stupid as to chase them all over the mountain, so Mimi Huzi and the five pandas became the main force to drive them back to the barn, very useful smoothly.

I thought it would be much easier to work after driving back the large group of chickens, ducks and rabbits.

As a result, during this day, the brothers and sisters were so exhausted just bending down to pick up eggs in the grass, melon, vines and bamboo forests that they almost broke their waists. When they got home, they counted more than 5000 eggs.

"According to the current price of five secondary crystal nuclei and an egg, we can sell [-] secondary crystal nuclei, which is much easier than my hard work growing upland rice." Yan Xiaomi made the calculations and sighed.

Yan Liang looked at her with a funny face, "You have raised a large group of poultry for nothing. After going out for a year and returning dozens of them to hundreds, it is naturally easy. It really makes you specialize in raising them every day. Try raising chickens and ducks, I guess it won’t be too long before it’s too noisy.”

"That's true." Yan Xiaomi thought about the scene of hundreds of chickens and ducks squawking and screaming every day, and his scalp became numb. Forget it, let's cultivate the land well.

Mimi lay on the sofa with half-closed eyes, heard the conversation between the siblings, recalled the scene when the little master asked Huzi to drive the chickens, ducks and rabbits out every day, and agreed with the big master's words.

The branches and leaves of the plants that had grown wildly for a year on the two mountains were very entangled. It took Yan Xiaomi and Yan Liang a few days to clean up the unnecessary parts and sell them to the base, and then took the mother plants and leaves that they took away when they left. All precious medicinal materials are planted back into the ground.

Mutated pumpkins grow fast. Even though they are often plagued by a group of chickens, ducks and rabbits, they still grow sixty or seventy pumpkins that are bigger than a basket, and each one weighs more than 100 catties. A lot of sweet potatoes have also been collected, just enough to replenish the out-of-stock in the store.

The water hyacinths in the two ponds are crowded closely together. At first glance, they look like they were planted on the ground. There is no water surface at all, because they are all second-generation water hyacinths, and more than 300 barrels have been harvested. Purified water, including more than 300 five-level water hyacinths, harvested a lot of purified water.

He hasn't done farm work for several years. Although he has been exercising regularly since he came back, and his sister also used ingredients and medicinal materials with special effects to recuperate his body, the high-intensity work for several days in a row makes Yan Liang, who has no energy variation, exhausted every day. Sleeping on the pillow at night, I deeply understand the difficulty of my sister farming all the year round, and I am more and more determined to work hard to earn crystal cores to support my family.

Yan Liang calculated the prices of these plants grown by Yan Xiaomi. Judging from the prices in the early apocalypse, the prices were not bad. After all, the levels of zombies and mutant animals were generally not high at that time, so they were considered equivalent sales.

But it has been more than four years since the end of the world, and the level of zombies and mutated animals and plants outside is getting higher and higher. If a high-level crystal nucleus is exchanged for a low-level crystal nucleus, the things in the store are simply the price of cabbage.

He once asked his sister why she didn't adjust the price. After all, her store sells necessities, and the price adjustment won't have much impact on sales.

Yan Xiaomi's answer at that time impressed him very deeply: "No matter which base, most of them are ordinary people. After all, there are only a few soldiers who can go out to kill high-level zombies. Most of the soldiers risk their lives to kill zombies to feed themselves. family."

"You also said that many of the things in the store are necessities for life. How can I have the heart to raise the price in order to earn more crystal cores, and earn the hard-earned money of these soldiers."

"As long as the price is lower and more people can survive, it doesn't matter if you work harder. If I earn countless crystal nuclei, but many people die because of it, what use are I taking these crystal nuclei? The nuclear thing is good enough."

For her, there are many channels and ways to earn crystal cores, but for those fighters, it is to fight for the survival resources of themselves and their families. Yan Xiaomi will never raise the price.

However, for things like the essence of purification and iron birch that are only sold to the base, Yan Xiaomi raised the price without hesitation.

These high-end things cost crystal cores to raise. The other reason is that Wu Yu, a shrewd ghost, sells these things at a sky-high price, so she is naturally justified in raising the price.

Yan Liang feels that his sister thinks very clearly about these matters. A community with a shared future for mankind is easier said than done, and few people are willing to give up the benefits that are at their fingertips.

His sister is so good, he can't hold back.

In the past few days, Yan Liang has seen a lot and thought a lot. He feels that he has no advantage in terms of strength and abilities. When a soldier goes out to kill zombies, the income is low (compared with Yan Xiaomi) and the risk is high. Why don't you use your own biochemistry? With the advantages of being good at the field of virus research, research some simple, interesting and valuable things.

Judging from what Wu Yu said about the Beijing auction, the price of many valuable finished products is much higher than that of her sister's raw materials.

However, according to Yan Liang's idea, he didn't want to enter the base research institute. No matter what research results he made there, he could only be counted as a base. It's better to set up a private laboratory by himself. Maximize the benefits.

Yan Xiaomi raised her hands and feet in favor of her brother's idea.

Whether it's plants, mutated animals, or ores, she has almost everything in the base, which can fully meet the needs of her brother's laboratory. Since the family has this condition, it is of course best to be able to do it by herself.

Yan Xiaomi's main concern is not the question of how much income Yan Liang can generate. After all, it would be good if he can produce a result in his field in three or two years. Instead, he has experienced various complicated personnel issues when the base was first established, and he doesn't like it very much. A feeling of being controlled everywhere.

Both brothers and sisters are activists. After finishing the work in the field, they found a suitable location on the lower hill of their own house and prepared to build a laboratory.

In the future, the laboratory will definitely need to recruit people, and it is inconvenient to enter at home. Yan Xiaomi took Yan Liang to find Wang Ziqiang, and discussed with him the appearance of the house and the functions of each room according to the needs of the laboratory.

As soon as Wang Ziqiang's drawings were finished, Yan Xiaomi recruited a few familiar builders to start construction. In just two weeks, a two-story building of [-] square meters was completed.

After the house was built, Yan Xiaomi and Yan Liang ran to the research institute openly, visited each laboratory one by one, ordered two sets of all the equipment that his brother needed, and took several newly developed ones by the way before leaving. new product.

The dean was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but there was nothing he could do about her. Yan Xiaomi had given him a lot of good things in the past few years, and the research institute often asked her for it.
