Douluo starts with the Pea Shooter

Chapter 640 Space Farming



"You finally came to our space station. Our life is really food. It has always been provided by the food-type soul master. He only knows how to make steamed buns all day long. We are almost sick of eating steamed buns.

I heard that you have a variety of plants here. Leave us more seeds. Otherwise, I am afraid we will be really sick of steamed buns."

When the staff of the space station saw Lan Nuo coming, they felt like they saw a savior. Although steamed buns are not considered to be low-quality videos, if you have only eaten steamed buns for several months, you can imagine what kind of psychological shadow it will leave on people.

In contrast, having a variety of different types of plants is much more valuable as food.

Fortunately, when Lan Nuo acquired soul skills, the acquired skills did not become the permanent characteristics of his martial soul. Although he acquired toxicity and his own swallowing ability, it does not mean that his plants are always poisonous.

If they can always remain poisonous, the effect of this trace acquired will be mostly negative. After all, his move is more effective in providing logistics than in combat.

The pea shooter can spray out fist-sized peas, which means he can purchase and supply starch and protein in unlimited quantities. Only a few pea shooters are needed to provide an army with enough logistical food. Not to mention that there are many more plants that can provide a nutritious food source.

Even as long as there is a hard enough field, a large amount of popcorn can be fired with a corn cannon.

After the corn processing soaks and falls, if it can withstand the damage, it can see a very dreamy side. The huge corn turns red after falling from the sky to the ground, which is a huge amount of popcorn like the ocean.

A corn cannon is enough for a movie theater to sell popcorn for a whole day.

In addition, it can also provide vegetables such as cabbage and watermelon. Although eating these things all the time will also make you tired, it is still good compared to the food that most food-based soul masters can provide. There are too many.

Food-based soul masters are limited by the same types of food that their martial souls can provide. For example, if their martial souls are sausages, the food they provide will be different due to the changes in the mix, but it is just sausages of different flavors.

Even if there are different flavors, people will explode their mentality. In comparison, there are many choices for plants.

Except that they basically cannot eat meat, there are no major flaws. If there are good enough chefs, it is not too difficult to use peas as ingredients to make the taste of meat.

Therefore, after these plants were planted in the space station, they specially arranged a room full of sponges to contact the things thrown by these plants.

This is a certain disadvantage compared to the ground. On the ground, as long as there is a large enough pool, you can contact the things ejected by these plants. Here, there must be a thick enough sponge or other buffer.

Because in space, the trajectory of the things thrown by these plants will not fall, and they will not fall into the pool.

More importantly, there is no gravity in space, so the water in the pool will float up, and water can become a very dangerous thing in a gravity-free environment. They will appear as a ball suspended in the air. If people get close to them, they may accidentally inhale water into their mouths and noses.

Because water has a certain gravitational force and a considerable degree of surface tension, if it is a water ball that is larger than a person, then after it touches a person, it is likely to swallow the person like a slime. After being swallowed by such a water ball, it is very difficult to get out like swimming normally.

Without the influence of gravity, the pool does not have a clear surface. In this case, even if you can adjust your position to the edge of the water ball by swimming, the water will stick to the person's body due to its viscosity, especially when standing in various holes on the person's body.

There is a considerable possibility that it will block the mouth and nose of a person, causing the person trapped inside to be unable to breathe or choking on a lot of water during breathing. Therefore, in space, whether it is water or other liquid substances, they must be placed in sealed bags, and they will never be allowed to float around.

This is also the reason why things thrown by these plants must be used with sponges instead of water surfaces. If water is used, it will definitely be a disaster.

Even when these plants are planted, the glue is directly injected into the soil and into the roots of the plants. It is absolutely impossible to pour it out from the bucket normally.

In fact, it can't be poured out at all.

After completing a series of initial preparations, the food source in the space station has finally been basically satisfied. Although plants cannot provide a source of meat, these astronauts have their own ways. They brought some animals up, similar to pigs, which are regular livestock raised in the Sun and Moon Empire. After much variety improvement, the speed of slaughter is very fast.

Under normal circumstances, breeding in space seems unrealistic, but when transportation costs have dropped significantly, in order to improve the quality of life of astronauts and prepare for future voyages. Considerable attempts were also made to raise livestock.

At present, the effect of raising pigs is not very good. We brought the few fish. The breeding effect is very good.

In space, as long as they are put into a sealed water tank, their survival will not be much different from that on the ground. Although the gravity-free environment will affect their swimming process to a certain extent, they will twist and turn when swimming, which is normal when they exert force. The fins on their backs point upward. No gravity is sensed here. There will be a situation of staggering around. But generally speaking, the impact is still within controllable range.

Compare. Pigs, cattle and sheep are animals that walk on the ground. After being put into space, it was quite uncomfortable.

Human beings can understand what a gravity-free environment means. But in the perception of these animals, a gravityless environment is equivalent to falling continuously, and they are all in extreme panic. What is not troublesome is actually their eating and drinking.

People can eat food in packaging bags. Even in an environment without gravity, the food will float around. You can grab the food from a distance and put it into your mouth to eat. This is the power of having hands that can hold each other. at.

But the same cannot be said for animals. For example, these herbivores are generally raised by putting food in a basin, and then they lie on the basin to eat.

But there is no gravity in space, so their food will float out of the basin and float everywhere. However, with the little brain capacity of animals, it is difficult to grasp how to act in space, and it will float everywhere. Yes food, they can't eat it at all.

Even feeding them solid food and letting them nibble off a large piece of food can only temporarily solve the problem, and the problem of drinking water is still difficult to solve.

It was impossible to put water in a basin for them to drink. If the animals can only drink water when raising pigs through a faucet, it seems that this problem can indeed be solved in theory. But it doesn't work.

If you look carefully you will find it. After opening the mouths of most animals, they cannot flexibly close their lips to wrap the entire mouth like humans do, forming a sealed structure.

Therefore, except for humans, most animals cannot use straws because their mouths cannot cover them.

This means that when using such a faucet, these livestock will spray water directly out. I have mentioned the dangers of water suspended in space before. Humans can also use vacuum cleaners to clean up the water suspended in the air, but animals do not have this ability. They don't even realize the danger. This can cause you to suffocate by inhaling the water suspended in the air.

Drinking water is troublesome enough. These animals make people even more emotional when they urinate. It is conceivable that in a gravity-free environment, a large amount of urine is suspended in the air, which is not only a fatal problem. In such a breeding environment, one can imagine what kind of mentality the breeders would have.

In a normal breeding farm, breeders only need to be careful of feces and urine on the ground, and wearing boots can basically solve the problem. If normal people just try it, this relatively dirty environment is tolerable, but if The smell of feces and urine is completely suspended in the air.

Anyway, so far, it has been difficult for the breeders to tolerate this situation. The breeding cabin with feces and urine suspended everywhere has been reported to the people on the ground and they have also realized it. There are huge problems with this type of farming.

There were various difficulties in breeding, and in the end a rather deceptive breeding method was adopted.

That is to create a restraint device for these animals. Simply stop them from moving. When they need to eat, they put food directly into their stomachs. The same goes for when they need to drink water. The tube is directly connected to their throats, and then the feces and urine are also directly connected to the waste receiving port of the spacecraft.

This finally made the environment on the farm bearable. It is nothing more than changing the growing environment of fattened animals regularly and raising these animals like plants.

The cost of breeding on the ground is slightly higher, and it is definitely not needed when normal breeding can be successfully sold. However, there are actually some breeding environments that are close to this.

For example, the environment and the animals raised in some pig farms. In a small space, there is no room to turn around, and you can only stick your head out to eat feed. This is actually a bit similar to the breeding environment in space, but it is relatively simpler. The cost is also much lower, after all, there is no need to consider sealing issues.

Compared with these conventional livestock breeding, it is much easier to raise fish in space. You only need to install a filter in the pool to continuously filter impurities in the water, so that the water can remain relatively clear for as long as possible. As for Talk about how fish eat. Anyway, they have adapted to eating their own feed in a three-dimensional space. Even in an environment without gravity, it is much easier to adapt than animals walking on the ground.

These problems are all problems that need to be faced in relatively small space stations. When the future synchronous orbit space station builds an ecological drum, this part of the problem will be solved. Most of the problems of raising animals in space are concentrated on gravity. With simulated gravity, these are easy to solve.

After solving the problem of eating for people in the space station, Lan Nuo also started his own job, which is to plant sunflowers. A large number of sunflowers are planted on a huge square in the space station. Under the ground of this square, there is a device to extract the soul power of sunflowers. They can concentrate the soul power obtained by sunflowers from the sun, and then convert these soul powers into energy required by the spacecraft, and transport them to other space stations for use.

In addition, sunflowers have other uses. For example, as an important oil crop here, sunflowers have always been able to produce melon seeds, and they can also be produced in space, which is of great help to enrich the menu of space station staff.

After planting sunflowers, a huge amount of soul power was immediately injected into the interior of the spacecraft. Compared with the ground on the earth, the space station here is exposed to sunlight 24 hours a day. The reason is very simple. Above the Lagrange point. The sun will not be blocked by the planet.

The spacecraft can always face the side of the sun. Above the huge square is transparent glass, and the ceiling is made of the same material. The sun is always in the center of the ceiling, and the temperature in this room is also quite high. If it were not for the worry that the sunflowers would be ignited in the high temperature, the temperature here would be even higher.

In this high temperature, sunflowers can absorb solar energy to the maximum extent, and then convert all of this solar energy into soul power to provide various energy storage facilities in the spacecraft.

The efficiency is many times higher than on the ground. After all, there is no atmosphere in space, and the sunlight is actually much stronger than on the ground. The layer of glass on the ceiling. To a certain extent, it isolates most of the sunlight that is too irritating to plants. Even so, the light intensity is far higher than that on the opposite side. The World Empire is also urgently developing tools that can directly use solar energy, but there has been no clear progress so far.
