Chapter 44: Creating a small forest in the sand
The cellaring of sorghum wine still needs to wait for a while. Before that, Aimoye first planted snow lotus and ginseng.

During the day, Jiya drove an excavator to reclaim the newly acquired sand.

"Damn it, why am I, a civil servant prison guard, doing odd jobs for you?"

"Don't curse, it's not good for the baby in my belly." Ai Moye was reading the instructions for the seeder.

In order to reduce the burden on pregnant women, the center sent a lot of good things, but unfortunately neither Aimoye nor Maima were very skilled in handling them.

If it were an excavator and cultivator on Earth, Ai Moye had at least seen her grandparents operate it.

But in the interstellar era, it is somewhat more troublesome. All functions are complete but difficult to operate, and you need to learn again.

Jiya said while digging, "When your sorghum wine is stored in the cellar, I will drink it to my heart's content."

"Don't worry, whether it's sorghum wine or watermelon, just open your belly." After Ai Moye said that, she ran to the seeder and tried to operate it.

With mechanical help, many things can be done with half the effort, but it consumes a lot of energy stones.

The center will rent machinery, but it will not rent energy stones.Energy stones are like the earth's oil and natural gas. They are the power source of machinery and are not cheap.

In less than two hours, Jiya cultivated two acres of land, and Aimoye drove a machine to fertilize, first locking in soil fertility and moisture.

The temperature has started to heat up in the past few days, and the moisture in the frozen soil has been retained. Coupled with the effects of compost and plant ash, the new land is very fertile, which is perfect for planting medicinal materials and cultivating bacterial strains.

Outside the rotting pit not far away, Mai Ma was directing the drone to pile Zerg corpses into it.

A steady stream of corpses were delivered every day, and lime was in great demand for disinfection, so as soon as Jiya finished digging the ground, she drove a crane to find rocks.

The three women were busy all morning and had a few bites of coarse grain bread at noon.

Ai Moye didn't really want to eat dry food, so she cooked an egg and pickled cabbage soup, which was much better than the blended chicken soup Jiya gave her before.

"By the way, there are so many people now. I plan to raise ten more laying hens and broilers, and I also need two cows."

Mai Ma raised her hands and feet in agreement, "Then there will be an endless supply of eggs and milk!"

"Think clearly, cows are not cheap. A non-crossbred cow is worth more than you." Jiya poured cold water on her.

Mai Ma said uneasily, "But in our hometown, cows are not particularly expensive, right?"

"Your cows are malnourished, produce low milk, and have few nutrients in the milk. Milk is no different from plain water." Jiya complained mercilessly.

Mai Ma was shocked, "So what I drank was never pure milk?"

Jiya put down the soup bowl, sighed and said, "There is not much pure milk in the interstellar world now. The breed of cows is not good, and the milk production is not enough. History books record that in the past, almost every household on earth could drink milk."

Ai Moye nodded silently.

Afterwards, Jiya asked the center about the price. A high-quality cow was priced at about [-] star coins.

Ai Moye almost vomited blood. She was opening up wasteland to grow sorghum, making wine and cellaring it, and she had to work hard to sell it. After all this, she might not be able to afford three cows?
In the interstellar age, human material life is not as good as in the earth age!

But no matter how heartbroken I am, I have to buy one anyway, otherwise will the star beast cub drink air in the future?
This should be pressed in advance, and we have to wait until the sorghum wine is sold before making any plans.

In the afternoon, Ai Moye called Jiya to turn half an acre of land into a "small forest".

Jiya drove the center's airship to various planets and brought back various trees. She also controlled machinery to plant the trees one by one, turning the original sandy land into a forest.

She was a little puzzled and said, "Transplantation is very simple, but the water factor in the Gobi area where you are located is very small, and the center cannot provide you with a water source that can support the survival of the entire forest." Ai Moye He threw up the star core and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can solve it."

Before saying goodbye to Di Lie yesterday, Di Lie also mentioned the water star core and told her that the black iron grade star core could be used as a water storage device.

There is little water element on the 2B planet. Even with the star core, it cannot condense much water factor and it cannot continue to rain.

However, she can use the star core to store water factors from other planets, and then return to Planet 2B to utilize them.

This method is not a secret. The important reason why Star 2B did not do this is that black iron-level water star cores are rare.

Moreover, the former sandy soil did not lock in water and evaporated too quickly. Just relying on the water factor provided by the star core was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

But after Aimoye's improvements, the land can now store water and is planted with dense vegetation. The precipitation in Star Core is enough to create a small forest.

After hearing the explanation, Jiya felt a little more energetic. She immediately worked overtime to build the forest, took the star core, and went to the alien planet to find the water factor.

Maima was planting flowers. He brought the flower seeds brought back from the mugwort leaves and planted them together with the cosmos and primroses from before.

The cold winter is coming to an end, and in a few days it will return to the hot summer. It’s time for the bees to end their hibernation and come out to collect honey.

Before that, the flower field must be created.

After a long day, Aimoye and Maima returned home, too tired to even make dinner.

"Sister Jiya probably won't be back tonight. Sister Yeye, what do you want to eat, I'll make it?" Mai Ma asked.

Ai Moye said weakly, "I can't eat it."

Mai Ma got up from the ground and said seriously, "You don't want to eat, but the baby has to eat."

Ai Moye almost forgot that she was still a pregnant woman, and thought for a long time before saying, "Then, egg custard?"

"Okay, let's eat it with the prison food for tonight - baked potatoes." Mai Ma immediately went to cook.

Ai Moye sat in front of the live broadcast equipment to check the background messages and fan data.

She hasn't broadcast live for several days, and many fans are asking whether she died suddenly from fatigue.

More often, they ask whether the sorghum wine has been stored in the cellar and when it can be sold.

There are also feedbacks about sweet potato flour and potato flour. After eating them, they said they were good and asked them to buy new ones as soon as possible.

There are plenty of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but I’ve been busy planting trees lately, so I probably don’t have time to make vermicelli.

Aimoye was serious about leaving messages to every friendly fan, but she was also a bit psychopathic and made some hooligan remarks, asking Aimoyye to be more careful and wear more revealing clothes during the live broadcast.

Ai Moye reported a few backhand and gave the pervert a big gift package of banning his account.

Early the next morning, before Jiya came back, Aimoye got up early, fried a few potato egg pancakes, cooked a pot of white rice porridge, and added kimchi and refreshing white radish, completing a simple breakfast.

After getting up, Mai Ma bit into the egg pancake and said, "I harvested a round of wheat a few days ago, and most of it is left. If I don't harvest rice today, I'm afraid the ears will rot in the ground."

She has to take care of crops and livestock by herself, which is too busy for her. Now that she has large machines to help her, she always has to put it on her schedule.
