Chapter 120: Wasteland Day 22: Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Today marks Yu Yuan's twenty-second day in the wasteland world.
It is also a day worth commemorating.
Because the wild chives planted a few days ago have finally broken through the soil!
On the Starry Sky Observatory viewing platform.
Yu Yuan looked at the humus soil in the Crazy Planting Trough, now covered with a layer of pale green, and felt overjoyed inside.
Although the green in the planting trough was still sparse, just a thin layer.
In Yu Yuan's eyes, it represented the hope of life and the beginning of his self-sufficient survival mode.
"I planted the wild chives using normal sowing methods, and they broke ground in about three days, shortening the time recorded in that planting book by 60% to 70%.
If I first soak and germinate the seeds before sowing them later, wouldn't that mean it would only take 1-2 days to complete the germination process?"
Yu Yuan summarized his experience.And recorded these key points one by one.
His Shelter Memo had unknowingly accumulated dense information content.
Some about combat, some about intelligence, some about shelter facility construction...
And there were already many notes regarding planting-related memos.
Some were knowledge points he saw while reading that planting book.
Others were insights he gained during the planting process.
Although the information was still messy, it served as inspiration and support for Yu Yuan's future shelter development.
Closing the Virtual Light Screen.
Yu Yuan adjusted the position of the Crazy Planting Trough to allow it to bathe more fully in sunlight before returning to the shelter.
"The growth-promoting effect of the Crazy Planting Trough on plants is undoubtedly huge and obvious. At this rate, I estimate I could be eating fresh wild chives in just 4-7 days at most!"
Thinking about soon eating fresh vegetables, Yu Yuan felt excited inside.
Returning to the shelter, Yu Yuan checked the growth status of the mealworms. It had been one week since the eggs hatched.
After a week of growth, the mealworm larvae had reached 3-5mm in size, which exceeded the normal growth rate of mealworms.
And this was precisely Dale's research achievement.
The mealworm individuals he cultivated, under suitable temperature, humidity, and food conditions, would grow 30% to 60% faster than ordinary mealworms.
"The shelter temperature has been a bit low recently. Time to prepare a constant temperature device for the little ones!"
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan went to the Warehouse and began searching on the shelves.
Finally, on the Storage Shelves, he found a black mat with wires and a temperature controller.
"I remember finding this thing under the reptile breeding box. It should be a heating device!"
Yu Yuan took the heating pad, plugged it in, and the temperature controller displayed the temperature.
He set the temperature to 26°C. After a few minutes, the temperature on the controller reached the preset level and automatically stopped heating.
Yu Yuan pointed a thermometer at the heating pad, and it showed 26°C.
"Success!"
Yu Yuan immediately placed the heating pad under the mealworm cultivation tanks.
The heating pad was large enough to fit all three cultivation tanks perfectly. Yu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Temperature problem solved, humidity in the shelter is fine, food is plentiful. Little ones! Grow up quickly!"
Afterward, Yu Yuan entered the civil defense shelter level passage to feed the seven Cree Mountain sheep fresh green grass.
After these days of feeding, the Cree Mountain sheep showed noticeable differences. Although they still looked somewhat thin, at least their vitality had recovered significantly.
And this was exactly what Yu Yuan hoped to see. Of course, it would be even better if they could put on weight faster!
But new problems emerged accordingly. As the sheep population increased, the amount of excrement they produced daily had far exceeded the recycling and digestion capacity limit of the Resource Recycling Trash Can.
For hygiene reasons, these past few days, Yu Yuan had been directly discarding the garbage and some excrement into the Motel Main Guest Room for removal.
Although he knew this was unavoidable, Yu Yuan always felt it was quite wasteful, but leaving it untreated wasn't an option either.
"I should keep an eye out for septic tanks or garbage treatment and recycling shelter facilities when I get the chance. The Resource Recycling Trash Can's capacity is still too small!"
Actually, there was another method - later when drawing Fate's Gift, he might get the gift of upgrading the Resource Recycling Trash Can.
That would be the most convenient way, but the appearance of Fate's Gift had extremely high randomness, so obviously he couldn't pin all his hopes on that.
Therefore, the search for shelter facility blueprints needed to proceed simultaneously.
In summary, everything in the shelter was developing in a positive direction.
Afterward, Yu Yuan washed up, ate, then came to the Magazine Display Stand to check today's newspaper.
No additional items or newspapers appeared.
But the information in the "Greenwood City Daily" caught Yu Yuan's interest.

Last night, a grand religious ceremony was held at the
Presiding over the ceremony was Preacher Miller's newly accepted student—Zoe, who performed with perfect and precise technique, along with unparalleled devotion to the ritual.
She completed this sacrificial ceremony. Preacher Miller stated.
This was the most perfect ceremony he had ever witnessed, and Zoe's talent surpassed everyone he had ever seen.
He would definitely cultivate Zoe with all his efforts to become the public face of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.

Starting from early yesterday morning, widespread negative news about the Aurora Animal Assistance Association has been circulating throughout our city. The source of these messages is unknown.
But the speed of dissemination and the breadth of coverage have exceeded the scope of journalistic understanding.
Under the influence of these messages, many people (factions) have developed some 'interest' in the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
Especially Thug Prison, Burning Fortress, and Iron Anchor Shipping Company have readjusted and redeployed their strategies for the upcoming battle in a few days.
Even some out-of-town visitors have turned their attention here, seemingly having discovered some secrets.

At 4:43 AM, inside the Hanlace Apartments in Greenwood City's western district.
Wasteland raider [Jackal] sensed something amiss in the surrounding situation, as if someone was surveilling them.
They wanted to leave, but this time they were commissioned for a task with quite substantial rewards, including not only the weapons and ammunition they needed most but also sufficient survival supplies crucial for their continued existence.
10 PM tonight is their final stay time and the limit of their patience.

Yu Yuan hadn't expected the effect of that [Celestial Phenomenon—Ominous Star Twinkling] card to be so immediately apparent.
"Truly worthy of being a Gold quality card!"
He looked at the news content, the light in his eyes growing brighter.
"Four days left until the big battle. These four days are enough for this sentiment and negative news to ferment. I hope it gives me a pleasant surprise!"
Then Yu Yuan opened the Fate Cards.
It was time to draw new Fate's Gift and Fate Cards.
"What will appear this time?" Yu Yuan anticipated!
