In the next week, Su Mi checked the condition of the vegetation near the artificial lake every day.
After the weather warmed up, algae broke out in the artificial lake area outside the base, making the originally clear lake look green and unhealthy.
In the vegetation area at the back door of the base, the roots of the plants penetrate deep into the ground and penetrate into the artificial lake.
They seem to be woven into a filter, blocking algae outbreaks from the base.
According to Wang Runhe, as the days become shorter and the nights become longer, algae should not explode so violently in the absence of light.
Finally, a conclusion was given through joint testing by Zeng Yangping and Lu Yishan.
Algae outbreaks occur due to reduced daylight hours but are caused by the intensity of light during the day.
The ultraviolet rays in the sun are so intense that they have exceeded the normal value before the end of the world by more than twice.
Such strong ultraviolet rays, if exposed for a long time, can easily cause various skin diseases and even skin cancer, as well as cause irreversible effects on eye vision.
Although no one in the base has suffered from a disease like this, Su Mi still feels the need to take precautions before it happens.
However, how to protect it is a problem.
In addition to watering the vegetation on both sides of the artificial lake every day, she now purifies some harmful substances formed in the soil over time.
Then he took a nest of brown ants out of the space and made a nest in the ground on both sides of the artificial lake.
Su Mi discovered that as the climate warmed during this period, many small flying insects appeared in the base.
Especially the plants planted on the artificial lake and its sides.
Many flowers and plants are also infested with aphids and other pests.
If pesticides are used, they will not only pollute the soil and air, but it may not even be effective against these post-apocalyptic pests.
Zeng Yangping told her to release the ants.
Ants are very important entities in the ecological chain.
Most people only know that ants can carry food dozens or hundreds of times larger than their own bodies, and that there are many harmful ants among ants, which are more or less harmful to living things, houses, and humans.
But few people know that when ants dig tunnels in the soil to make nests and enter and exit, they can promote soil aeration and drainage, and promote the production of organic matter and humus in the soil, thus improving the soil.
In addition, in the process of carrying food, they often bring some plant pollen seeds that cannot be pollinated and reproduced by themselves into the soil, playing a symbiotic role in plant reproduction.
Best of all, ants are hard-wired for biological control. They carry dead organisms or plants back to their nests, and use the corpses of organisms and plants as food or compost.
It can effectively eliminate dead organisms and decaying materials that breed bacteria in the environment, and plays a balancing role in the ecology.
Moreover, the brown ants have been living in Su Mi's space for a while, and the ant nest they built is very large.
Su Mi only cut off less than a third of the ant nest, divided it into two parts, and buried them in two pieces of land on both sides of the artificial lake.
When thinking of biocomposting, Su Mi naturally also thought of the earthworms in the black soil of her space.
So I caught a few more earthworms and put them on both sides of the artificial lake.
Earthworm activity in the ground not only loosens the soil, but its excrement mixed with the soil can also act as compost.
These lives have been cultivated in space and have tenacious vitality. Su Mi believed that with the help of ants and earthworms, she would be able to extend the frequency of watering the land with spiritual water.
Originally, maintaining the ecological balance was not something that happened overnight, so Su Mi was not in a hurry, and worked step by step to first achieve long-term stability of the water resources in the base.
As for outside the base, I'm afraid it will be a very long process.
The rice planted in the clinic building sprouted within a week, and grew rapidly in the next three days.
The rice seedlings were bolting too quickly, so Wang Runhe and the farmers urgently separated several rice seedlings and replanted them.
Although busy and tiring, the germination rate of this batch of rice is almost 100%. At the thought of a large harvest soon, everyone's faces lit up with excited smiles.
The faction that was previously indecisive on the issue of children in the Banri Kingdom area was sent by Wang Hexing to Wang Runhe to help farmers cultivate new rice fields on the east side of the clinic building.
At present, the soldiers of the main killing faction were led by Wang Ling and Qin Hao to take over the "cleaning" task. The two indecisive factions were given the task of cultivating the land, and they were both very depressed.
But Su Mi thought Wang Hexing's move was very good.
Troubled times require killing and means.
Linjiang City is a small city after all, with a huge area. There should be a lot of people scattered in various places in Linjiang City.
It was difficult for the soldiers to distinguish Tang Li's group among this group of people.
Indecisiveness can get you wrong on this "mission."
Su Mi clearly knew that Wang Hexing's order to Wang Ling and Qin Hao was to "better kill by mistake than let go."
Every day, the soldiers return to base with some injuries.
It can be seen that the "clean-up" plan was not so smooth sailing.
According to Chen Jin, the mission was originally smooth and encountered no resistance.
But something changed on the way back.
Wang Ling's team encountered a woman with long hair and wolf ears.
The woman was so fast that she injured a dozen soldiers and escaped successfully before they could react.
Su Mi naturally thought of the "beast mother"-like woman she met in Yang Lin's community.
So is Kong Xiaomin also with her?
Today, the power problem in the base is still unresolved. Dr. Li Changtian’s signal base station cannot be implemented due to power shortage.
Su Mi thought of the solar panels and high-power generators that Kong Xiaoming helped her transform before the end of the world.
I can't believe that Kong Xiaomin can really help people in the power sector solve this problem.
Therefore, before Wang Ling and Qin Hao left for the base mission the next day, they were called over by Wang Hexing.
Both of them were unfamiliar with the name Kong Xiaomin, but Qin Hao heard Su Mi talk about this person when he and Su Mi went to Yang Lin's community.
The man was taken away by a woman with wolf hair all over her body.
Hearing that she was covered in wolf hair, Wang Ling immediately thought of the woman with wolf hair and wolf ears that he met when he was on a mission the day before.
"Grandpa, that woman is very tough, and she is very unreasonable when she sees someone. If the Kong Xiaomin you mentioned is really with her, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find her."
"On the premise of protecting yourself, do your best."
Seeing his grandfather's firm attitude, Wang Ling paused and nodded in compliance.
"yes!"
…………
However, that night, when Qin Hao and Wang Ling came back with wounds all over their bodies, the news they brought back was that they had not caught the wolf-haired woman.
Su Mi sighed, she could imagine the perversion of the wolf-haired woman. The kind of mutation similar to physical transformation is similar to that of Xiaoxing.
He is invulnerable and cannot be killed by a gun. Naturally difficult to catch.
It seemed like she still had to do it herself.
However, around two o'clock that night, the base suddenly became chaotic...
