My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

58.Farming!



The gas station that Shi Yong pointed to was not far from the signal tower. After driving for only a few minutes, Gu Zhuo arrived at the gas station.

Manipulating the mechanical arm, Gu Zhuo didn't need to get out of the car at all. He added oil into the Doomsday Fortress bit by bit.

After all the oil in the tank was filled, Gu Zhuo retracted the robotic arm again. Originally, he was thinking about getting a tanker truck back here, but he thought that this was Shi Yong's place after all, and since he was so honest and open to him, he couldn't take advantage of him too much.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo gave up his original idea.

After refueling, the two drove back to City A. Gu Zhuo did not choose to pass through the bridge, but took a detour, took a road from the side of Beicheng, and drove back to City A.

This road was a little further, but along the way, except for some residential buildings, there were no other accidents that blocked them.

Before the end of the world, this road was also a passage that others often chose to avoid high tolls.

It took a day to drive all the way back. Gu Zhuo stopped the car near the oil tanker.

It was getting dark, and it was about to be the time when monsters appeared. In order to avoid accidentally hitting the oil tanker during the exchange of fire with the monster, Gu Zhuo decided to wait where he was and wait for daytime to tow the two oil tankers.

Night fell, and surprisingly, there were no monsters here.

Maybe this place was sparsely populated, and apart from Gu Zhuo's two oil tankers, there was nothing else. There was no movement, so naturally there were no monsters.

Although it is so safe here, Gu Zhuo still dare not take risks with his tanker truck.

To pass the time, he thought about the seeds he had collected from Zhao Shifang yesterday.

"Chaoying, let's plant the seeds first!"

Gu Zhuo slapped his thigh and suggested to Chaoying.

"Isn't there enough food in the car? Can we farm now?"

Chaoying asked him.

Gu Zhuo went to the refrigerator to take a look and found that the vegetables were almost exhausted these days.

"There is enough food, but there are no vegetables. If we plant the vegetables early, we can harvest them earlier. Besides, if we find any shortcomings when planting, we can make improvements in time. We must really wait until the vegetables are exhausted." If you start planting vegetables when the grain is gone, it will be too late to discover any shortcomings by then.”

What Gu Zhuo said made sense, and Chaoying was quickly convinced.

Gu Zhuo picked up the tablet from the table. There was a lot of information copied on it, including the precautions for growing various vegetables.

Taking the tablet, the two of them went to the back of the storage compartment.

Facing the bags of seeds, Gu Zhuo opened the tablet and wanted to check which vegetables were best to grow. After all, in all these years, he has never personally planted vegetables or worked in the fields, but he has been the owner of the manor many times in the game.

After checking all the information, cabbage is the best to cultivate.

Cabbage is as easy to grow as Chinese cabbage. The suitable temperature for its growth is fifteen to twenty degrees, and it will not freeze to death even at minus ten degrees.

The soil for growing cabbage only requires fertile and loose soil with adequate base fertilizer. Then just water frequently and keep it moist. If it is too dry, it will affect the growth of cabbage.

However, cabbage seeds must be treated before sowing. In order to ensure the sprouting rate, the seeds are usually exposed to the sun for 3 days and soaked in potassium permanganate solution to kill bacteria.

But Gu Zhuo obviously couldn't wait three days, so he decided to try his hand with a batch of seeds first. After all, untreated seeds would not necessarily fail to germinate, but the chance of germinating would be smaller.

After checking the information, Gu Zhuo made a decision to plant cabbages first and potatoes in the next batch.

Gu Zhuo's favorite thing is actually potatoes, but when he thinks of the advantages of planting cabbage first, he can only reluctantly give up.

The two men took out a bag of cabbage seeds, and Sam leaned over to try to smell what they were holding.

"Go, go, go aside, this is not for you to eat."

Gu Zhuo raised his hand, pretending to hit it, and Sam let out a "woo" and ran to the side.

The two of them took the seeds and went up to the second floor platform, and then Gu Zhuo realized something was wrong. He turned his head and said to Chaoying behind him:

"No, this platform is not high enough. If we don't extend it, how can we sow the seeds on it?"

Chaoying smiled and pointed at a button next to the stairs. That button was next to the button for extending the platform. Gu Zhuo had never noticed it.

"You also said that you knew everything about this car, and some parts were still in the dark. Now you can press that button and you will know what to do."

It was rare to be teased by Chaoying and seeing her smile so touchingly, Gu Zhuo scratched his head and then pressed the button.

I saw that the pipes of the automatic irrigation device, which were originally motionless and covered the soil surface of the second-floor platform, suddenly began to move, like an assembly line workbench in a production factory.

"What is this, an automatic planting device?"

Gu Zhuo asked.

"Yes, as long as you scatter the seeds, it will sow the seeds into the ground one by one just like a real seeder."

"Really awesome."

Gu Zhuo said, scattering the seeds in his hand onto the platform.

I saw that as soon as the seeds were sprinkled into the soil, they started to move along with the metal pipes. As the metal pipe moved, two small shovels suddenly stretched out from one side of the platform. The small shovels shoveled and turned the soil where the seeds passed, and then patted the soil firmly.

After some repetitive mechanical operations, Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying quickly planted all the cabbage seeds they brought into the soil.

"What's next? Do you still want to press this button?"

Gu Zhuo asked.

"You can press it. This button is just to help sow the seeds. If you want to observe the growth of these seeds, or water and loosen the soil, you can go to the operation room to control it."

Chaoying replied.

"understood."

Gu Zhuo nodded and pressed the button again. The metal pipe stopped moving again, and at the same time, the small shovels also retracted. After pressing the button, Gu Zhuotong said to Chaoying:

"Then let's go to the operation room now. I want to see what this high-tech farming is like."

After saying that, the two walked towards the cab together.

Walking to the cab and sitting on the driver's seat, Gu Zhuo pressed the button on the console for planting on the second-floor platform. While pressing the button, all the scenes of the second-floor planting platform appeared on the screen in front of him.

On the screen, the automatic irrigation device was motionless, and the automatic lighting system had automatically started running the moment the button was pressed.

"Water until the ground is completely watered..."

Gu Zhuo followed the information on the tablet and operated it bit by bit.

Under his control, the automatic irrigation device began to draw water from the water tank of the Doomsday Fortress and poured it into the soil.

Soon, the soil was completely watered, and the cabbage seeds sank into the soft and moist soil.

"Keep the temperature at 21-24 and water every three days..."

Adjust all the automatic planting devices on the platform one by one to ensure that they are exactly as described in the information you consulted. The temperature controller on the platform gradually adjusts the temperature to a temperature suitable for cabbage germination, and the automatic irrigation device has also fixed the watering time period.

After doing all this, all you have to do is wait for the cabbage to sprout and mature.

"Is this high-tech vegetable growing? I've learned a lot."

Gu Zhuo put down the tablet and adjusted the settings. At this moment, he was even more excited after planting vegetables than when he found the monster's weakness.

Sure enough, the farming genes of the Chinese race flowing in his blood were passed down to him without fail.

I finished the only thing I had to do tonight. I looked at the time and it was now around twelve o'clock in the morning.

It was rare for Gu Zhuo to be so leisurely. There were no monsters to deal with and nothing special to worry about. The excitement of having just finished planting vegetables made him not feel sleepy at all now.

He thought of his e-sports computer, which had countless games downloaded on it, and it was almost gathering dust. Gu Zhuo decided to relax tonight and play a few games.

Seeing this, Chaoying offered to accompany him.

Gu Zhuo rarely played games with women. Now that Chao Ying brought it up, he was in a good mood, so he readily agreed.

He took out a controller, placed it on the computer, found a two-player game that he had always wanted to play but had not been able to play, and started playing "Two Players".

For people like Gu Zhuo, "Two People Go Together" can be said to be the game with the highest configuration.

Not because of anything else, just because you need a friend or a girlfriend to play this game. Gu Zhuo has always had neither.

Now it is the first time to play this kind of two-player game with Chaoying. Chaoying is indeed a top student. He reacts very quickly when playing games and his observations are very detailed.

Gu Zhuo is a veteran in playing games, and the two of them cooperated very well, so many levels were easily passed.

Unconsciously, both of them forgot that they were still in the apocalypse. They are nestled inside the Doomsday Fortress. No matter how dangerous it is outside, at least at this moment, they are absolutely safe.

For Chaoying, she has completely regarded this place as her second home.
