In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

"However, it is said that this Young Master Han is the only son of the base chief of the Hai Sheng Base. The big boss of the Hai Sheng Base dotes on this only son very much, so this Young Master Han must have done a lot of immoral things."

After listening to Lu Xu's words, Li Ming nodded without saying much.

Afterward, the group returned to the market, and Li Ming directly found a room to rest.

Nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, Li Ming immediately issued orders.

"Secretary Wang, please take note: First, instruct the engineering department to speed up the construction of the seawater desalination plant. Second, immediately notify the intelligence department to investigate the Hai Sheng Base and see their background and situation. Third, implement the mass production of the seafood and grain mixture and strive to launch it on the market as soon as possible.

Fourth, immediately expand the army. Increase the garrison forces in coastal cities. Cities like Malga will increase from two light infantry divisions to five light infantry divisions. Smaller second-tier coastal cities will increase from one light infantry division to three light infantry divisions."

Captain Wang Shuang quickly repeated Li Ming's orders. Li Ming nodded, "Transmit the orders immediately!"

"Yes!"

Li Ming couldn't help but sigh. This secretary is really useful. She can be a personal secretary and a personal bodyguard. The key is that she is pleasing to the eye, and most importantly, her professional ability is strong. Very good, worthy of being a hero unit provided by the system.

After issuing the orders, Li Ming was about to go out and return to the headquarters base when Lu Xu walked in, "Chief, the crops in a nearby sub-base are ready for harvest. Would you like to take a look?"

Li Ming became interested. For the current Li Ming, nothing is more interesting than farming and having a gun. Agriculture and warfare are inseparable!

"Let's go. The people depend on food as their heaven. As the chief, it is very necessary to care about food security. Let's go and see the crop yield of the base together!"

"Please follow me, Chief!"

The group quickly drove to the nearby base. After entering this sub-base, the group went straight to the planting area. After seeing the planting area and the growth of these crops, Li Ming felt a little dry in his mouth.

Although he often inspected the planting area of the headquarters base before, that little planting area couldn't compare with the current base specializing in seed business.

The planting area of the entire base covers an area of approximately 7 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 10,500 acres of land.

The entire planting area is full of mature grain crops. The planting base is planted with corn. Li Ming and others had already changed their clothes, and then he quickly walked forward.

After carefully checking this corn plant, he found that there were actually two ears of corn on this corn plant, and each corn cob looked not small. An involuntary smile appeared on his face.

Then he carefully looked at the surrounding corn plants and found that although the leaves of the corn plants had begun to wilt, they still had a little green color. He found that many corn plants had two corn cobs.

He peeled open a few corn ears and found that the corn kernels were full. This one corn cob can produce about 3 taels (150g) of corn kernels, which is really a lot.

"Good, this is really a year of harvest! The person in charge of planting this area in this base has done a great job and should be rewarded." Li Ming was very happy.

How could he not be happy with a good harvest?

From the current point of view, the yield of dry corn per mu of land can be about 1100 jin, which is very close to the normal yield and is definitely a year of harvest.

One mu of land is 1100 jin, and this base is 10,500 mu of land, so the total output is at least more than 5,000 tons. 5,000 tons of corn, after being amplified a hundred times, is 500,000 tons.

How many people can 500,000 tons of grain feed? Enough for 500 million people to consume for a day. This is calculated according to the consumption of 2 jin of grain per person per day. What a huge amount of supplies this is?

Li Ming looked at the corn in front of him very happily. He realized that he had somewhat ignored the yield of grain crops. Before, each base reported a number, then sent the crops over, he amplified them, and then sent them back in the form of finished products.

Now it seems that he has somewhat neglected the planting industry. This should be the focus of future development!

Li Ming looked at the grain in front of him, extremely excited, grain!

In this day and age, having grain plus a certain amount of force is equal to having everything. Although there is also a lot of seafood, it is far less important than grain, because people can never get enough of grain, but there will definitely be a day when people get tired of eating seafood.

Soon Li Ming directed the mechanization of crop harvesting. This is a machine specially used for harvesting corn. The machine lays down the corn stalks and then enters the equipment through a conveyor belt, and finally takes the corn cobs down completely and puts them into a special storage cart.

After it is full, garrison soldiers come to pour the corn into a grain stack for shade drying. After it is dry, it will be threshed and stored.

Li Ming saw Lu Xu leading a staff member in charge of this grain planting over. He picked up his space cup and took a sip of water, "Old Lu, is this the talent in charge of this large area of corn planting?"

"Haha, Chief, it is indeed him. This person is named Ma Ming, and he is an agricultural technical talent we recruited from the outside!" Lu Xu introduced.

Li Ming looked at the man and found that he was wearing glasses and looked like a typical technical talent. He walked directly over, "Mr. Ma Ming, your planting technology needs to be further promoted. Are you interested in coming to headquarters and promoting your planting technology together?"

"I am willing!" Ma Ming was very happy.

Li Ming nodded, "After the harvest here is over, you will return to headquarters with me. Increasing grain production is a technology that is worth promoting."

Ma Ming smiled, "Chief, there is nothing special about it. It is just raising more earthworms and using suitable fertilizers and pesticides."

"Hmm? Are earthworms so important?" Li Ming was very surprised.

When it came to technical issues, Ma Ming's face was very serious, "Chief, earthworms are actually the most important link in the ecological chain on Planet Baltan. It can be said that most of the garbage on the entire planet can only be purified and harmlessly treated through earthworms."

"According to our research on earthworms, earthworms currently have three main uses:

1. Soil improvement. Earthworms help aerate the soil by digging tunnels, making it easier for air, water, and nutrients to penetrate to the roots of plants. Their excrement is rich in organic matter and minerals, which significantly improves soil fertility and promotes plant growth.

Each year, earthworms can move 30 to 300 tons of soil per square meter of land. In addition, earthworm activity can increase soil infiltration rates by 30-300%, improve soil aggregate structure, and make the soil looser and more fertile, which can be used to solve the problem of soil compaction caused by the large-scale use of chemical fertilizers in the soil.

2. Waste degradation. Earthworms feed on rotten plant and animal remains, reducing the amount of waste in the environment by digesting these organic materials. They can convert large amounts of organic waste into high-quality fertilizer, called earthworm castings or vermicompost.

Each kilogram of earthworms can process approximately 0.5 kilograms of organic waste per day and also provides high-quality organic fertilizer.

3. Biodiversity promotion. Earthworm activity creates an environment suitable for the survival of other microorganisms and small invertebrates, promoting the diversity of microbial communities.

In addition, earthworms can degrade and digest pollutants in the soil, such as organic pesticides, heavy metals, and radioactive substances, etc."
