After saying that, Xia Ju reached out and patted Du Yue’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, 1’11 definitely let you realize your dream.”

After saying that, Xia Ju turned around and left, leaving only Du Yue’s back view. Du Yue looked at her nimble back and shook her head helplessly. Since she liked to research so much, then she would let her be! Originally, Du Yue wanted to clean up the dishes, but He Xing did not let her move. She did not argue with He Xing and went straight to the yard to feed the chicks.

As time passed, the originally weak chicks grew up a lot and looked chubby. However, animals like chickens were only cute before they grew up. When they grew up, the word ‘cute’ had nothing to do with them. The chicks had a good appetite, and Du Yue felt good looking at them. “Eat more!” she muttered. “Eat more!”

She should not be far from achieving self-production and self-marketing!

A week later, the construction of the cultivation base was completed. He Xing brought back 20 pounds of eggs when he got off work. These eggs were much smaller than ordinary eggs. In order to prevent them from colliding with each other in the box, they were specially padded with withered grass. Du Yue opened the big box in front of her. What greeted her eyes was a bunch of chubby eggs squeezed together. She felt that it was a feast for the eyes. The three of them were only willing to eat a few of the eggs that Zuo Mingdong had brought, but they had already finished them. Just as she was lamenting that there were no eggs to eat, He Xing brought back so many eggs.

These 20 catties were enough for the three of them to eat for a period of time! Du Yue had never thought that she would find eggs cute one day. Du Yue’s gaze moved away from the box and landed on He Xing. “The construction of the cultivation base is almost complete. Is the next step to start sowing?”

“Not yet.” He Xing shook his head. “The problem of the bug eggs in the soil hasn’t been properly solved. If we sow now, more than half of the seeds will go into the mouths of the insects. That would be meaningless. These improved seeds were all exchanged with Snowy Cold Fruit. This will determine whether everyone in the base can eat their fill in the future. They can’t be careless at all. The researchers at the base have been studying how to solve this problem, but there has been no progress so far.”

Du Yue nodded. “This is indeed not a simple matter. We can only look forward to good news in the future.”

After saying this, Du Yue subconsciously looked toward Xia Ju’s room. Although Xia Ju had locked herself in her room for a longer time than before, Du Yue still believed that with her ability, there would be a good result. The only thing she could do was not disturb her and quietly wait for Xia Ju’s research results.

“One more thing, Captain Zuo told me today that the base is going to send a few people back to the fourth base with Captain Sun.”

Du Yue was confused. “Why?”

Sun Yu and the others had already exchanged for the Snowy Cold Fruit and learned how to extract and make potions from the Snowy Cold Fruit from Xia Ju. They had been preparing for their return trip for the past few days. “The fourth base doesn’t have a source of protein, but we have a lot of insect powder and eggs. They plan to bring them to the fourth base to exchange for some food.”

Du Yue nodded after hearing the explanation. Indeed, it would be a good thing for both bases if they could exchange their extra things for the things they needed. However, they were too far away from the fourth base, and the thick fog blocked their vision. It might be difficult to get there.

Even so, Du Yue was not too worried. Since the base had such a plan, they must have made full preparations. The people sent by the base would not be useless, and they had weapons. If they could not even do this well, the base would not have lasted until now. Du Yue was only curious about one thing. “How are they going to transport the eggs over such a long distance?”

“The base also thought of this problem. Later on, they decided to make all the eggs solid.”

Du Yue was enlightened!

That was right! Turning eggs into solid eggs would not only guarantee nutrition but also reduce a lot of trouble and risks during transportation. “Then when do they plan to leave?” Du Yue asked as she looked at the room where the mushrooms were planted. The nutrient solution Xia Ju made was indeed top-notch. The mushrooms were growing very quickly. Du Yue estimated that they would be fully mature in seven or eight days.

If those people were not in a hurry to leave, Du Yue wanted them to bring back some of the mushrooms they had grown. She could also teach them how to grow them..
