In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits
#80 - Chapter 80 Cold-tolerant potatoes come into being
"Now, tell me about the design specifications for this strategic bomber!"
"Certainly, Chief. After our calculations, the strategic bomber we are designing is named 'Kunpeng,' a stealth strategic bomber."
"This stealth bomber has a maximum internal payload capacity of approximately 55 to 60 tons. Without refueling, its range can reach about 24,000 kilometers, allowing it to strike any location worldwide."
"It possesses strong stealth penetration capabilities, with a maximum flight speed of approximately Mach 2. The application of new radar-absorbent composite materials makes this bomber very light, enabling it to carry massive amounts of fuel in its internal fuel tanks, thus achieving long range and a large payload."
After listening to Academician Qian's words, Li Ming roughly calculated that if his cruise missiles were produced using the latest technology, this bomber could carry as many as fifty or sixty cruise missiles with a range of over 4,000 kilometers. How strong would that strike capability be?
Such a bomber was a must-have. Producing 20 of them would be really good, and another 20 or so ordinary strategic bombers could be produced as a supplement.
He quickly put forward his ideas. The two senior experts finally agreed with Li Ming's ideas, and Li Ming's new technology soon began to enter the laboratory phase.
What Li Ming valued most was this solid-state battery technology. This stuff was really good, unaffected by severe cold or heat, just perfect.
He had plenty of electricity himself and had to make use of it.
........
Li Ming soon received another good news: cold-resistant potato seeds had been cultivated. Li Ming rushed to the agricultural laboratory to check the situation.
"Old Wang, what is the cost of these cold-resistant potatoes now?"
"Chief, it is currently in production. The cost of cold-resistant potatoes has been reduced to 4 integration tickets, including nutrient solutions, antifreeze, and a portion of soil suitable for planting," Old Wang said.
"Great!" Li Ming was overjoyed and then said to his close adjutant, Captain Wang Shuang, "Immediately arrange for the listing of cold-resistant potatoes!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce radio station, along with the black market dealers who had cooperative relationships with Li Ming throughout the country, began to promote the advent of cold-resistant potatoes.
"Listeners, hello everyone, this is the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce radio station. After our organization's unremitting efforts and the round-the-clock efforts of countless scientific researchers, the latest type of cold-resistant potato seeds suitable for planting in extremely cold conditions has been officially launched on the market.
Each portion of cold-resistant potato seeds is priced at 10 integration tickets, including one pound of seeds, one portion of nutrient solution, one portion of plant antifreeze, plus one portion of suitable soil. Welcome everyone to come and buy!"
As soon as this news came out, countless survivors were thrilled. The issue of food was everyone's biggest concern.
As the saying goes, food is the paramount necessity of the people. Crops that can be planted in extremely cold conditions are definitely the most popular supplies in extremely cold disasters, without exception.
Especially if you have enough seeds in your hand, you can completely achieve food freedom. To some extent, cold-resistant potatoes finally allowed everyone to see a glimmer of hope in this desperate doomsday.
Although the light wasn't very strong, being able to grow crops yourself meant that you had a relatively stable source of food, and the significance of this was extremely important!
Moreover, this crop was also of great significance to the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce. Basically, everyone was very clear about how strong the force that could develop this kind of seed was. It could be said that, to some extent, the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce had become a behemoth related to the survival of countless people.
Soon, countless survivors began to work harder to accumulate integration tickets. After a series of fluctuations, the value of Li Ming's integration tickets completely stabilized.
Currently, one integration ticket is worth one pound of potatoes or sweet potatoes, 1.5 integration tickets can buy one pound of rehydrated and dried grain, 2 integration tickets can buy one pound of coarse grain, and 3 integration tickets can buy one pound of new rice.
10 integration tickets can buy such a portion of seeds. Countless grassroots survivors were still very tempted, after all, one pound of potato seeds can produce dozens of pounds of cold-resistant potatoes!
These cold-resistant potatoes can also continue to be planted to produce more potatoes. This is simply like an infinite Matryoshka doll.
Which of the survivors who have survived to this day has not been hungry?
It can be said that they are really afraid of being hungry. Everyone, regardless of whether it is true or false, will choose to try to have their own way of producing food and a relatively stable source of food.
At this time, what countless grassroots survivors were thinking about was being able to dress warmly and eat their fill, with no other extravagant hopes.
Cold-resistant potatoes allowed everyone to see the hope of eating their fill. To some extent, the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce was the God among the grassroots survivors!
Cold-resistant potato seeds sold very well as soon as they were launched!
If calculated using the exchange rate, about 5 pounds of scrap metal is equal to one integration ticket, which means that many survivors have now saved a lot of integration tickets.
Li Ming's purge of the evil forces ensured overall stable order, and the survivors' enthusiasm for collecting supplies was also very high. Every day, they would continuously send Li Ming various supplies, including but not limited to scrap metal, books, and other materials.
Both sides felt that they had made a profit. In particular, the value of books was relatively higher than that of scrap metal. The survivors were simply reluctant to set fire to these library books and the like, and it was more cost-effective to directly take them to the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce to exchange for integration tickets.
During this period, the survivors still had tickets in their hands, and with tickets, there would naturally be consumption.
Cold-resistant potatoes were undoubtedly the latest star product launched by Li Ming. Not only ordinary survivors bought them, but even some other private bases and forces like the Fuxing Society were also tempted.
Who wouldn't like to produce food continuously?
Unfortunately, they were happy too early. According to the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce's propaganda, these cold-resistant potatoes could only be grown up to three generations at most, and then the yield would no longer be able to continue to grow. They could only continue to buy seeds from Li Ming.
But even so, many people were very satisfied.
One pound of potato seeds can produce dozens of pounds of potatoes, and planting it again can produce at least hundreds or thousands of pounds of potatoes, what more could you want?
As for the soil, nutrient solution, and antifreeze needed for planting, the amount needed for one pound of potato seeds for these three things together is about 6 integration tickets!
This was really conscientious, at least these survivors thought that the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce was really conscientious.
Everyone was very clear that antifreeze and nutrient solutions must have been produced by the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce themselves, and this required petrochemical raw materials.
Everyone was very clear about the value of oil, and some even thought that the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce was really making money selling these seeds at this price?
