Chapter 470 Xiao 5 goes home 20
After listening to Si Rong's description of the cycle of despair, Mu Chen's eyebrows knitted even tighter. He looked around at the lifeless land, his tone filled with a hint of resentment and unwillingness:
"So... is that it? This land, and the contaminated areas on so many other planets, can't really be left to waste, right?
They... I mean the interstellar government or research institute that has the technology, should have a way to purify it, right?"
After saying that, he tentatively kicked a piece of hardened earth that was as hard as iron with his toes. The earth only moved symbolically, as if mocking his idea.
Si Rong glanced at Mu Chen with the corner of her eye: "They have already given up on this planet. Do you think they will still bother to research these things?"
Mu Chen's face flushed red when she looked at him, and he immediately argued: "'This' planet has been abandoned."
He kicked hard at the charred and hardened ground beneath his feet.
"What about other planets? It's impossible that there's really no one or organization in the entire interstellar world that studies this kind of thing?!"
Si Rong sighed slightly: "There are many planets like this. Their main planet does not need to worry about these things. Other planets can be abandoned after being polluted!
When the time comes, we can just find a new planet with abundant resources and not yet overdeveloped to fill the gap.
The Milky Way is huge, and the number of 'spare tires' to choose from seems endless. Otherwise, what do you think the pioneer team exists for?"
Mu Chen looked at Si Rong: "Then what should we do? We can't start by planting soybeans, right?"
"Why not?" Si Rong gave Muchen a mysterious smile: "Remember Si Rong's world? Isn't their world similar to a wasteland?
Since that world, every time I arrive in a new world, I ask Xiao 5 to help me collect some plants with particularly strong vitality and transplant them into the space."
Muchen was curious: "Why haven't I seen it in the space?"
"I've isolated them all, to the edge of space. They're a species with strong vitality, and I'm afraid they'll become a disaster.
Now is a good time to take it out and plant it here to try.
Let’s not talk about the harvest for now, after all, those are green plants, right?”
Muchen nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's get started!"
In fact, while they were talking and discussing, the highly efficient mechanical assistant did not stop.
The two basic robots belonging to the Situ family are tirelessly executing pre-entered instructions.
Their slightly bulky but stable metal arms worked methodically on the charred ground.
By the time Muchen shouted "Get started", all the large visible garbage in the small area around them, including scattered metal fragments, twisted plastic, weathered building debris, etc., had been cleared away.
A large area of relatively flat ground was exposed, but the surface garbage and rocks had only been barely removed.
"The rest is actually much simpler,"
Sirong looked at the energetic Muchen and the cleared area, with a smile that showed satisfaction with the efficiency on her lips.
She moved her mind slightly, and then the farm tools in the space appeared on the ground in front of her.
"No need to buy it. Just modify the interface slightly and install an adapter for the robot."
The transformation process is indeed simple and efficient.
The two robots stretched out their arms smoothly, and Sirong inserted the specially made simple adapter tools into their operating ports.
"Deep plowing, turning the soil," Sirong and Muchen, each holding a robot, began to input instructions to them.
"These basic action command libraries are standard. I only need to call up the standard agricultural module and then adjust it according to the hardness of the soil and the current operating range."
She clicked confirm. "Just a few tweaks to the depth and pressure parameters and we're done. Okay, guys, let's get to work!"
As the command was given, two robots equipped with simple farm tools immediately made low operating sounds.
The metal hoe was raised high and dug into the hardened earth with a dull "puff puff" sound, while the shovel followed closely behind, crushing the turned-up soil.
Dirt debris was flying everywhere, and the air was filled with dust and a stale smell.
Watching the robot steadily plowing the dead land, Muchen grinned with a hopeful smile, and even couldn't help wanting to try it himself.
"Don't worry, save your energy for moving the seedlings."
Sirong seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled.
She communicated with the space again and gently took out those tenacious plant seedlings in batches.
The seedlings are of different types, and their leaves are either slender or thick. The only thing they have in common is that they all exude an indomitable tenacity of life.
Some even show clear adaptation to arid or polluted environments, with characteristic structures.
Muchen immediately collected his thoughts and carefully picked up bundles of seedlings as if he were carrying fragile treasures.
Sirong and Muchen began to cooperate with the robot to dig a shallow pit, carefully placing the roots of each seedling into the pit, and then gently compacting the surrounding soil with their hands.
Her movements were gentle and focused. When all the seedlings were carefully placed, Sirong's expression became more serious.
She took out a palm-sized crystal bottle, which was filled with spiritual spring water as warm as jade.
After dilution, a bucket was given to Muchen, and the two began to water the seedlings from two directions.
"We have to help them get through the most difficult period of adaptation."
Sirong whispered as she added a few drops of precious spiritual spring water to ordinary water, gently shaking it to dilute it. Her movements were precise and careful, ensuring that every drop was used to its full potential.
These seedlings are all varieties carefully selected by Sirong in each world.
It is used to transform barren land.
The agricultural power of the Great Qi Dynasty was not very sufficient, and the land in many places was wasteland.
When Sirong first collected these plants, she was thinking of planting them in the wasteland in the future.
Her original idea was to transplant them to the barren fields of Daqi Dynasty where no one was willing to cultivate them.
Let them grow, absorb nutrients, use their developed, deep and wide root systems to penetrate the compacted soil, or absorb and fix those scattered harmful substances.
More importantly, wait until these plants grow lushly.
Before the flowers bloom and bear fruit and the energy is converted into seeds, the land should be thoroughly plowed.
Bury their fiber- and nutrient-rich stems and leaves, along with their penetrating roots, deep into the soil.
These buried plant remains will gradually degrade in the soil and turn into rich organic matter, nourishing and activating the long-dormant land.
If some farmyard manure is added, the field will become fertile land within one growth cycle.
