Superstars of Tomorrow

Chapter 384: Pests

Fang Zhao didn't go too far with his curly hair. According to the map provided by the base, he walked around the area where he could move freely, and first learned about the topography and way of life here.

The area enclosed by the Buxing base is very large, and there is a wide range of activities. Occasionally, you can meet patrolling soldiers, but they all seem relatively relaxed, without the tense feeling of the soldiers at the Baijixing outpost.

The place is boring, but also peaceful.

The curly hair is very adaptable, the low-pressure and low-oxygen environment did not cause any inconvenience to it, and the barren sandy land did not make it lose interest, it seemed to like it here, there was no one else around, and Fang Zhao didn't use the leash Wearing it, I am running happily on the sand at this time, and I am also very interested in all kinds of insects and animals under the sand, no matter the size, I will eat it after catching it and playing with it.

Fang Zhao observed for a while, but he didn't see the curly hair showing any discomfort, so he let it go.

After wandering around outside, Fang Zhao led Curly back to the base. The next day, I went to the cafeteria of the base to eat, and I also met Wu Tianhao and Mitis. After getting used to the previous day, the two seemed to adapt better today, but Mitis still seemed to be lack of sleep.

Not only Wu Tianhao and Mitis, Sa Luo and Barbara also went out today, but they didn't eat the cafeteria, they ate the food they brought.

The program team saw the five people who went out for activities, and said with emotion: "The gene is really a very powerful thing. It is worthy of being a descendant of a general, and the adaptability is strong."

Genes mean potential, and as long as that potential is not wasted, they have an advantage over everyone else. Waste is another matter.

"We don't compare the other four. After all, they are members of the general's family. His genes are cattle, but what about Fang Zhao? He is also a literary and art worker! We can't compare with those four, we have to learn from him..."

The director began to pour chicken soup for the soul of other staff members of the program group.

In fact, the director felt helpless. This is the first time that all the guests invited are more adaptable than the staff. It is estimated that the guests can start filming, but they can't keep up.

Thinking about this problem, the director adjusted the arrangement. They can't officially start work here, but the guests can mobilize first.

The director called the five guests together and started the mobilization work.

"The instruction manual passed on to you records a lot of important information. The edible and poisonous things seen outside are all inside. If there is no record, it is best not to touch it." Therefore, non-professionals should not touch things that are not recorded. Cheap.

Sa Luo listened carefully at first, and then started slipping away. I can't see it on the surface, but in my heart it is like this:

I made more money by frying mountain ginger before, but it was not sustainable. Ginger is fine, but it is better to fry garlic.

Fang Zhao even brought the dog here, and I can bring it next time, I don't like this kind of puppy, but it's still a big dog.

When can we communicate here? I'm going to sue!

...

Salo's brain jumped from mountain ginger to dog in two minutes, and quickly jumped to other places.

After the director emphasized the points to be paid attention to, he told everyone the key points of poverty alleviation.

"There is a saying in the old century, 'Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish'..."

The current poverty alleviation is generally aimed at discovering the bright spots in poverty-stricken areas and amplifying them, so as to further improve the quality of life in poverty-stricken areas. But it is simple to say, but how many can really be achieved?

What's more, this is an entertaining show, and they don't expect to find any bright spots. They just use the show to let everyone know the hardships here, so they can think about it when donating.

Of course, no matter what you think in your heart, and no matter how cruel the facts are, the director will not be so practical when mobilizing.

"Look more, listen more, walk more, understand more, with your knowledge and smart minds, you should be able to discover the bright spots here." The director concluded.

Wu Tianhao: Watch more, listen more? necessary! With my eyes, I can see all directions and my ears can hear all directions!

Mitis: Walk around more, understand more? The amount of exercise seems to be quite large.

Salo: My bright mind?

Barbara: The sparkle?

Fang Zhao: It's a bit difficult.

Seeing the thoughtful looks of the five guests, the director was satisfied. It seemed that the five guests had understood what he said.

After clapping his hands to bring everyone back to his senses, the director said again: "Because some of our program staff are still not used to it, we can't officially start work, so today, Colonel Song Ping will show you around."

Compared with Baijixing and Weixing, the personnel mobility of Buxing is greater. After all, the environment here is not suitable for ordinary people to live. Soldiers who have been stationed for no more than ten years will be transferred to other places.

Colonel Song Ping used to serve on the exploration ship Fomalhaut, and was later transferred here. As an overachiever, his military merits are enough, and he can go up the ranks after a while. This is the second year he has been transferred to Bu Xing, and for at most three years, he will be referred to other places, basically those planets at the top of the development sequence.

Although he didn't plan to stay in Buxing for a long time, Song Ping was quite enthusiastic about the guests. The development status of Buxing cannot be changed, at least a few guests can bring some financial support.

Since this was the second day after the program team arrived, considering that the few people might just be getting used to it and not be overly exhausted, he also specially transferred the car from the base and set off with a few people, introducing the usefulness of each area along the way.

Looking at the desert in the distance, Mitis raised his finger and pointed to his feet, and asked: "Is there oil under the desert? I have read some records about the old century, which mentioned these. In the old century, oil was very important. vital energy."

Song Ping nodded, "Buxing has been detected in many places, but it is not necessary. For daily use, the thermal radiation energy provided by the star is sufficient, more convenient, and low cost. Our base mostly uses photovoltaic power generation. As for higher-level energy demand, we directly use the energy mines delivered.”

Later Song Ping took them to see the farmland.

"The people who are sent to serve every year will be assigned to work in various farmlands, planting crops or improving the soil."

"Can things be grown in this place?" Sa Luo pointed at a monotonous and desolate sandy land, unable to believe it.

"It can be planted, as long as there is water. The pipeline laying has already been completed, and the water can still keep up with the demand within the planning scope." Song Ping replied.

Soon we arrived at the farmland area, where crops of different heights grew sparsely in the improved field.

"Look at the growing condition is not very good." Mitis doesn't know how to farm, but at least he can tell whether the crops are growing well.

Song Ping smiled, "The output is not high, but at least it won't let everyone starve to death."

Wu Tianhao thought of something and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Ping, do you eat bugs? Bai Jixing used to eat bugs. This - such a big bug!"

"Insects? I also eat them, but I eat less. There are not many edible insects here. They are either too small or too difficult to catch, and the cost of catching them is high. If you have that time, it is better to farm. We mainly eat crops here. I grow them myself. Sometimes I catch some edible ones from the sea to improve my food, but this is rare. As for large land animals, because of their small numbers, they basically do not threaten the base, and most of them are listed as native species. To protect the ranks, you can’t eat them. Not only can’t, but if you see them in danger outside, you have to help them. Therefore, in our base, there are more vegetarians, and the rest of the time is direct nutrient solution to replenish energy and essential food. nutrient content."

Song Ping told them this, just to tell them that here, don't even think about eating meat, and follow everyone to be a vegetarian when you come!

Salo stroked his chin, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. There is a word in the old century called 'Peace in the ground'."

Song Ping: "...??"

Wu Tianhao is indeed the one who has spent the longest time with Sa Luo here, and he understood what he was going to say when he heard what Sa Luo said, "What you want to say is 'do as the Romans do'?"

Sa Luo clapped his hands: "Yes! This is it!"

Song Ping: "..." My mother almost suspected that there was something wrong with my expressive ability!

"We can cultivate more crops that are suitable for this place." Mitis said, "Find more researchers, and we will definitely be able to research it."

Song Ping shook his head, "Researcher? Please don't come, the salary is low and the conditions are poor, the species are not rich enough and the land is not fertile enough to attract scientific research talents. Bai Jixing can attract many researchers to come over. We are inferior in this respect. Yes. Of course, if you are willing to help, you can invite more people to come over, not the kind of people who try to catch fame, but people who are truly knowledgeable and capable, and it doesn’t matter if you have a bad temper.”

Song Ping just casually said that he didn't expect to invite those capable scientific researchers to come over with an entertainment program.

"Take you into the farm to see."

Song Ping opened the protective net in an area, led Fang Zhao several people in, and did not forget to talk about the advantages of the Port Star Base.

"Students serving in our military service don't need to dig mines. Farming is tiring, but it is safer than Baijixing. This alone makes many servicemen more willing to come."

Speaking of this, Song Ping glanced at Fang Zhao. He was transferred from the Fomalhaut exploration ship. He also heard that Fang Zhao had applied for Fomalhaut and Arcturus when he was serving, but unfortunately he was rejected. Afterwards, Fang Zhao chose Bai Jixing, who served under difficult conditions. Later, no one expected that Bai Jixing discovered high-grade energy deposits, developed and took off.

Many people know that Fang Zhao discovered the new energy mine, but everyone also knows that even without Fang Zhao, others can discover it, but it will take a little longer. Even so, there are still many people who regard Fang Zhao as a lucky factor. For the sake of Fang Zhao, Flemington, the commander of the port star base, agreed to cooperate with the program group. Otherwise, Flemington would not dare to take risks. Flemington can be promoted after one or two years of guarding, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong during his tenure.

Song Ping didn't just think about things, he introduced the crops here to Fang Zhao and a few people.

"With such a big planet, you can't always count on supplies. Self-reliance is the way to gain a foothold, and you can really stand firm. You won't be starved to death when there is an accident in the supply. Pests must be controlled in the farmland, but the effect of insecticides is limited. You can’t poison yourself to kill insects.”

Song Ping showed some pictures to Fang Zhao and others, introducing common insects and animals that harm crops here.

"Especially this kind!" Song Ping pointed at one of the photos, gnashing his teeth, "The most harmful kind in the field, and a large part of the reason for the low yield is because of them. They are very edible, and if you don't pay attention, you will be harmed by them." Blockbuster, let everyone's hard work go to waste!"

The animal Song Ping mentioned has a long and narrow body, well-developed claws and tail, and a section of scales on its body. The palm of an adult is as big as an adult's palm. They are difficult to catch, and they are a headache for the base. Fortunately, they are weakly poisonous and not very dangerous to ordinary people."

"In order to protect the crops, we pulled up the protective net, but the protective net is not closed all the time. The fields need a lot of people to take care of them. Every time the protective net is opened, some will slip in. We will also send people to remove insects regularly, but we want to It’s basically impossible to clean them up. They move too fast in the field, and even if the dewormers find their traces, they worry about hurting the crops in the field, so their hands and feet are tied up, making it more difficult to deworm.”

Fang Zhao looked at the photo above, "A bit like a lizard?"

"It just looks a bit similar. In fact, the internal structure of the body is different. There are specimens in the base. I will show you when I go back. If the dewormer can catch one next time, I will dissect it for you to see." Song Ping said.

"Can't catch it now?" Wu Tianhao was gearing up, eager to try.

"It's not easy to catch. You want to be guided by professionals, and you need to use tools without damaging the crops. In short, catching them is not as simple as you think."

As soon as Song Ping finished speaking, he saw the curly hair rushing to one place like the wind, biting something in the soil, dragging it out and beating it a few times, then throwing his head up, jumping up to catch the beating twice before tossing up.

"Is that what you're talking about?" Fang Zhao asked, pointing at the thing that was thrown into the sky.

Song Ping: "...it seems to be."

Curly was playing with one excitedly, and then put it in front of Fang Zhao as if asking for credit.

Fang Zhao looked at what Curly was holding, and then at Song Ping.

Song Ping's voice was difficult: "It's confirmed."

See you tomorrow.
