Chapter 96 In order to survive
One thing that is extremely urgent is that after a general exploration of this small island today, and by combining all the information, a very possible conclusion can be roughly drawn.

The products of this small island simply cannot support more than 600 of them.

The problem of food supply must be resolved before the reserves are exhausted, and even if the reserves are saved, they can only last for ten days.

The edible resources on this island are limited. A quick look can tell that there is a lack of large wild animals on the island. At most, they can only collect fruits, mushrooms and other supplementary food sources.

It is definitely too late to grow food. The most likely successful solution now is to fish from the sea to obtain sustainable food.

Today all I use is the fresh water stored before, and the remaining fresh water resources are running out, so the first thing to do tomorrow is to move to a place with fresh water in the north of the island to set up a campsite.

To survive, the current army combat mode is definitely not able to adapt to the new environment.

That has to change.

Everyone held a meeting overnight to discuss the issue of survival on the island and regrouped and divided everyone into:

(1) Gathering and hunting group on the island: responsible for searching for wild plants, fruits, nuts, mushrooms and other food on the island, and catching and killing wild animals, such as birds and other small animals.

(2) Planting group: For long-term planning, self-sufficiency is the goal.

(3) Fisheries group: responsible for searching for all edible seaweed, shellfish and other seafood on the coast and conducting fishing operations.

(4) Tool manufacturing group: Responsible for providing and manufacturing various suitable working tools for each group.

(5) Construction group: Responsible for building new camps that can shelter from wind and rain.

(6) Cooking group: equivalent to the cooking team, responsible for food cooking, drinking water and other work.

(7) Medical group: composed of medical soldiers led by Lu Waner, who are responsible for caring for the wounded and collecting herbs.

(8) Headquarters: Reorganized from the battalion headquartered under the leadership of Liu Ze.

(9) School: It is mainly composed of students and assistants. They accompany Liu Ze on weekdays and support other groups at any time.

After these two days of fantastic journey, although Liu Ze has always denied that he is the reincarnation of a god, everyone respects him like a god in private, and they are unquestionably firm about the things he arranged implement.

Cheng Mo also discussed this with Lao Kong in private. Although the two argued fiercely, and neither of them could convince the other, they even got red-faced and wanted to give each other a fist, but they both had a consensus, that It's just that everyone has no doubts about Liu Ze.

At dawn, everyone packed their luggage and brought all the supplies, and headed towards the northeast of the island, where the plains, forests, and water sources were their new destinations.

The golden morning sun shone on everyone's faces, and everything looked hopeful.

Because Lao Kong and Lu Wan'er did not go to the northeast of the island with the expedition team yesterday, they were a little curious about what it looked like there. They looked left and right, and finally cast their eyes on Cheng Mo. Everyone in the team knew that Cheng Mo was a piece of shit. Zuizi likes to talk about everything, and can talk about it, so they gathered around Cheng Mo during the procession, hoping to get some news by the way.

After arguing with Cheng Mo for a long time last night, Lao Kong still couldn't let it go, so he retreated to Lu Wan'er's left and motioned her to ask Cheng Mo with his eyes.

Lu Wan'er cleared her throat and asked, "Brother Cheng, I heard that you went to the northeast of the island with the Commander yesterday, can you tell me what it's like there?"

Cheng Mo glanced at Lu Wan'er, and replied with a smile: "Why don't Miss Lu directly ask the commander? The commander knows a lot more than me!"

This Cheng Mo is still very concerned about Liu Ze's personal problems. He always feels that since he is interested in this little girl, why doesn't he stay in the room and stay there, always saying that he wants to share weal and woe with his brothers, is it inhumane?

Thinking of secretly giving myself two slaps, scolding me for being confused, how can I slander the gods?She was still counting on Liu Ze to take him to heaven to enjoy the blessings.

Lu Wan'er was choked by this sentence, she didn't know what to say for a while, she just lowered her head with a blushing face, and said nothing more.

"You old Cheng, why are you making fun of other girls? When people ask you, just say it." Lao Kong stroked his beard and continued, "The commander only said that there are beaches and woods over there, but we don't want to know more clearly Well, looking around, who in this team can have a better vision than you?"

"Haha! It's only natural if you didn't say it earlier. If I were to rank second, no one in the team would dare to be number one! When I saw the commander for the first time, I knew he was not a mortal. , I was determined to risk my life and followed the commander to the north and south. I am the first subordinate of the commander, and that is the confidant of the confidant!"

Seeing that Lao Kong and Lu Wan'er raised their heads and looked at him wanting to laugh but holding back his laughter, Cheng Mo stopped talking nonsense and coughed slightly and said, "There is an endless golden beach in the northeast, which is very flat. , lying on it is like lying on a big bed at home, not to mention how comfortable it is, by the way, there are many shells on the beach, pink, blue, and black, they are all beautiful! Do you know the shells?"

Seeing Lao Kong and Lu Wan'er shaking their heads like rattles in confusion, Cheng Mo chuckled, took out a pink shell from his pocket, and showed them in the palm of his hand.

"See, this is a shell, isn't it beautiful? This is still small, only as big as a fingernail, and there are bigger ones!"

"How big is the bigger one?" Old Kong asked quickly.

"It has to be half the size of your body, but it's very rare. I only saw one. As for them, I didn't see any of them!" Cheng Mo hurriedly put away the shells in his hand and put them away. He put it back in his pocket, he didn't want his treasure to be taken away by Lao Kong.

Old Kong knew that Cheng Mo was bragging again, and seven out of ten sentences were not credible, so he motioned to Lu Wan'er with his eyes, and then took a step ahead, leaving Cheng Mo still stamping his feet on the spot, feeling that he didn't enjoy himself enough!
This time, due to the difficulty of vehicles, the speed of travel is extremely slow, and it is estimated that we will not be able to arrive until dark.

Liu Ze simply led the collection team, fishery team, and construction team one step ahead.

Everything on this island will be controlled by Liu Ze. Obtaining food in a short period of time is very important, but long-term planning is also essential.

Fortunately, this place is located in a temperate zone, with four distinct seasons. The seasons are different from those in the late Ming Dynasty. This is the season when everything is recovering in spring, and the soil everywhere is extremely fertile.

The planting group planned as an important food source needs to plant existing food crops for future planning, such as wheat, which is usually planted in March to April and harvested in July to August, with a total growth time of [-] to [-] days .

The growth cycle of winter wheat is 230 days to 270 days.

One mu of wheat needs about 34 catties. If the wheat fields can be opened up, the food crisis in three months will be greatly alleviated.

When counting grain reserves, there are also millet, corn, etc., which are good varieties that can be planted as soon as possible.

The person in charge of the planting team, Wang Youyuan, a former bankrupt small landlord in Shaanxi Province of the Ming Dynasty, counted with his fingers: "Now is the right time. The longest time to grow grain in this kind of place is [-] days."

Then he squatted down and scraped away the soil, and sighed, "The black soil here is really fertile, and it can yield a good harvest."

Liu Ze, who was following behind, immediately ordered: "Decree, from now on, grains with skins are not allowed to be eaten. It is very useful to store them."

"Eat the peeled grain and gather and hunt first. Brother Youyuan, from now on, you will lead people to find land for planting. I will occupy the land you like, and you will be the master!"

"Okay, Brother Mu, I will leave this to me. As long as the weather is good, I will have a good harvest."

"Yes, agriculture is the most stable source of food, and the only thing we need to pray for is good weather!" Liu Ze muttered as he walked in front.

Wang Shanbao, who heard this later, put his palms together and made a prayer: "Please bless the commander, the weather will be good every year, and the grain will be plentiful!"
