Chapter 23 Solar Energy


    The next day, the sun rose and the temperature rose, Xia Qing mixed the soaked seeds with deworming powder, planted them according to the depth, row spacing, and plant spacing, and then sprayed them with water mixed with evolutionary camphor leaf juice.


    After spraying, Xia Qing found that not only birds did not like the evolution of camphor tree leaves and refused to come down, but even the sheep boss ran away.


    Now, don’t worry about the sheep causing trouble to the crops and seedlings.


    Because cotton and mung beans are sown on demand, the row spacing and plant spacing are wide, so there are two pieces of cotton lands with one acre of mung beans and half acres of mung beans; wheat is sown on strips, and only six kilograms can be planted for two cents of land, so Xia Qing simply planted them all on thirty acres.


    After planting, more than 90% of the land that was plowed out was still empty, but there is no hurry.


    The potatoes have not sprouted yet and cannot be planted for the time being. The other four types of rapeseeds - pumpkin, cucumber, tomato and eggplant. Xia Qing chose to grow the seedlings in her home vegetable garden before transplanting them.


    In addition to vegetable seedlings, she also has six sweet potato seedlings.


    In addition to sweet potato seedlings, she can also explore the new territory of 1,500 acres higher than the mountain spring **** in the north to explore and find edible plants that can be transplanted.


    Xia Qing was looking forward to a good day of stir-frying three dishes in one meal, and had an extra bowl of lunch.


    In the afternoon, when she was about to explore the new territory with Boss Yang, she received a call from Team Tan. Xia Qing thought it could be planted with sweet potato seedlings, but she didn''t expect it to be a bigger good news.


    The base decided to install solar panels on the territory with buffer forests on the edge! Her territory is on the outermost edge, with a buffer forest, meeting the requirements!


    Xia Qing jumped up excitedly, "When is it the turn of ground 3? An hour later? Yes, of course! Do you use me to help with the solar panels? OK!"


    After hanging up the phone, Xia Qing rubbed Boss Yang''s head, "Boss, we need electricity, electricity, electricity!"


    Boss Yang shook his head when he disliked him, and Xia Qing was excited and circled.


    The power evolutionist Hu Zi came to the territory No. 3 to install solar energy. Without Xia Qing''s help, he easily carried a large box into the village. He quickly installed two solar panels on the sloping roof of Xia Qing''s house, and then told her how to protect it. "Although this equipment was produced before natural disasters, it is guaranteed to be used. Sister Xia Qing should not forget to flush the solar panels in time. It is best to cover them when it rains, hail and snow. There is also a very important point. You must protect the wires and don''t let the insects bite them off."


    After the natural disaster, many insects on Blue Star have evolved strong biting ability, and several of them have evolved into rodents and have a hobby of grinding teeth. Wires and net cables are their favorite things to bite.


    Original rodents, such as mice and squirrels, have evolved terrible rodent abilities, which is why, in the decade of the apocalypse, conventional communications and power grids have not been restored between human bases.


    It’s not that it can’t be, it’s because the construction and maintenance costs are too high. Compared to these, there are many more important things to do for humans who have drastically decreased after natural disasters.


    Xia Qing asked quickly, "Can I use steel pipes to cover the wires?"


    Hu Zi nodded, "It would be better if he could cover it and protect it. Does Sister Qing have steel pipes?"


    "Yes, there are tools, and I will be able to do it after the electricity is sent." Xia Qing has accumulated a lot of tools in recent years, including electric welding torches and welding rods.


    Unexpectedly, Hu Zi, who was very silent when he met several times before, was quite enthusiastic. "Two boards can only emit five degrees of electricity a day. I brought a gas welding gun. My sister brought the steel pipe up and I will weld it before going to the first floor." Xia Qing didn''t be polite anymore. He took out the steel pipe to cover the wire and weld it tightly to closely protect the outdoor parts of the solar equipment. This thickness of steel pipe can protect against evolutionary insects, as long as you are careful to prevent evolutionary mice and squirrels.


    After Huzi debugged the power generation equipment and battery, he reminded Xia Qing, "When Sister Qing uses lights and flashlights tonight, she must close the doors and windows tightly, and do not attract moths or anything else."


    Almost all insects are phototaxis, and it will be troublesome if they are dangerously evolved.


    Xia Qing has always paid attention to this point. When she ignites the fire in the living room at night, she will use thick wooden boards to block the windows to prevent the light from leaking out.


    When sending Huzi out of the territory, Xia Qing asked why the base agreed to install solar equipment on the territory. Solar energy is a hot spot in the safety zone.


    Hu Zi sighed, "There are thirty territories with buffer forests on the edge of our safe zone. Thirteen territories were attacked by evolutionary plants and animals after the rain. Fifty-six people have died and eight seriously injured."


    There is insufficient medicine after the natural disaster, and it only takes a few days from serious injury to death. Xia Qing thought that there would be casualties after the rain, but he didn''t expect it to be so serious.


    "Because Sister Qing contacted the inspection team in time to clear the danger, Land No. 3 is the only peripheral territory where there are high-risk evolutionary attacks, but no casualties. Therefore, the general went against the opposition and ordered the peripheral territory to be equipped with solar energy and walkie-talkies to ensure that when a danger occurs, the lord can contact rescue immediately."


    After saying that, Hu Zi explained to Xia Qing why she didn''t give her a walkie-talkie. "The number of walkie-talkies is limited, and you have a satellite phone, so I didn''t match you anymore, and changed it to ten safe sweet potato seedlings."


    Xia Qing smiled, "Hu Zi thanked Team Tan for me."


    Hu Zi, who was carrying a stack of solar panels, heard Xia Qing''s laughter, and his face and neck were red. Fortunately, he was covered with a protective mask and couldn''t see it.


    Xia Qing continued to ask, "Is the walkie-talkie equipped with a frequency mode or a channel mode? I have a professional walkie-talkie in frequency mode, and the call distance is ten kilometers."


    Hu Zi cleared his throat, "It''s a frequency mode, use 438,500 frequency to contact patrol and security personnel. The lords can communicate with each other, and they can use 439,500. Sister Xia Qing can use walkie-talkies to contact the lords of several nearby territories in the territory, but you must pay attention to safety. You are only one person, and you must be careful of others."


    Xia Qing recorded the frequency, "I understand, I won''t let something happen to me."


    After leaving the safe zone, people are more prepared. Although Xia Qing is adjacent to the first, second and fourth places, everyone keeps a tacit distance and does not disturb each other.


    Hu Zi was afraid of scaring Xia Qing, and talked about the situation of several territories around him. "Except for the people in Land No. 2, who are a little domineering, the others are not too dangerous at the moment. When I feel bored, I can open the channel and communicate with them about how to farm."


    Xia Qing has been in the noisy safe area for many years and now she likes to be clean. However, it is also necessary to contact the surrounding territories through the walkie-talkie to find out what seeds they have received and what edible organisms they have found in the territory.


    It would be even better if she could exchange it for what she didn''t have.


    Hu Zi continued, "The fourth and fifth lands are lucky. There are no large evolutionary creatures. There are highly evolved caterpillars in the first land. The territory is empty, and three people have been injured in Land No. 6. Sister Xia Qing, come back quickly, I will go there myself."


    This is the disadvantage of not being able to make any news. Xia Qing didn’t know that there was no one in the first place. “What should I do if that first place?”
