Chapter 97 Happy

Everyone knows that this long journey is about to reach its end.

Pegasus sails along the coastline of the New World and will dock every now and then. Every time he stops at Father Bastian, he will take people off the boat to collect soil samples and plant specimens.

Yes, the climate here is still cold, but compared with the dead silence of the ice ring, it has gradually become more and more vibrant. Both plants and animals can see some. Father Bastian carefully analyzed the soil composition brought back to see if it is suitable for planting crops.

Although the advance team purchased a lot of food before departure, which was enough to support it for quite some time, they spent so much effort, drifting on the sea for several months, and risking to cross the ice ring belt, not to come here for vacation. Establishing a settlement means living here for a long time, and it is too expensive to transport food back and forth by boat alone.

So in addition to basic food reserves, a large number of vegetables and fruit seeds for farming were also stored on the ship.

These crops originated from the earth and have been the result of continuous artificial selection and evolution for millions of years. However, as humans entered the interstellar colonial era, new requirements were made for these traditional crops, so a large number of genetic transformation projects for crops began.

After decades of unremitting efforts, humans have cultivated many high-quality genetically modified crops that are highly resistant to cold and drought, resistant to acids and alkalis, and can thrive in various extreme environments. This also makes the people in the advance team not have to worry about the low temperature here.

But even so, the necessary nutrients for crop growth are still essential. What Father Bastian is doing these days is related to this. He placed the collected soil on an analyzer to detect the stock of three elements: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

In addition, you should also pay attention to whether there are a large amount of heavy metals in the soil, such as cadmium, mercury, and lead. These heavy metals are likely to be absorbed by crops planted on the land, and then enter the human body through the food chain, and continue to accumulate, causing serious health problems.

Another thing is routine radioactive inspection. All substances in nature are constantly radiating to the outside world, but the intensity of the radiation is different. The dosage of most radiation is very weak and will hardly cause harm to the human body. In addition to artificially built nuclear facilities, there are also some radioactive substances that have existed since the formation of the planet, or new radioactive substances produced by the decay of those radioactive substances, distributed in ores, soil, atmosphere, water sources, and even animal and plant tissues. Once the radiation exceeds the standard, it is obviously not suitable for habitability.

In short, choosing a settlement is not an easy task, and various factors need to be fully considered. Fortunately, Father Bastian finally found a satisfactory place after two and a half months.

It is about 30 kilometers away from the coastline and is located in a basin. The surrounding rocks can block the bitter cold wind. An underground river can provide the camp with sufficient freshwater resources. The most critical soil test results show that there is no radioactive substance in the soil layer, which is enough to meet the planting requirements of those genetically modified crops. At the same time, the heavy metal level is also within a safe range.

What is even more surprising is that the team that went out to inspect also found a small iron ore fifty kilometers east of the settlement, which solved the future demand for iron tools and did not need to risk going into the ice ring belt to mine iron ore. This kind of start is simply not more perfect, but it is worthy of the name of the settlement 0475 New Canaan Meidi Land.

Of course, it is easy to understand the beautiful land of New Canaan. As for the numbers behind it, it is mainly because there are too many church clearing groups, and everyone likes this name. After all, in the Bible, this promised land has good blessings from God. No matter what, everyone takes such a great risk to go out to sea to pioneer, and always hopes to have a good start.

Since there is no way to divide it, the church simply allows all land reclamation groups to use this name, but when reporting, it is added numbers to distinguish it. However, as far as Weize knows, many of the previous 474 land reclamation groups no longer exist.

Because the danger of land reclamation is everywhere, a successful arrival at the destination is only the first step, and there are still many tests waiting for them.

But no matter what, it is still a happy thing to be able to set foot on land again. On the night of choosing a residence site, a party was held on the boat, and everyone participated, regardless of believers or non-believers, and they were all divided into many fruits and vegetables. There was also a spontaneous talent show after the meal. In the crowd, Weize put two thousand five on her shoulders to make sure she could see the performance on the terrace clearly.

At this moment, they are no different from an ordinary father and son who are related by blood. They do not need to pretend deliberately or perform, and they are extremely natural in every move.

Half a year ago, Wei Ze would never have thought that he could learn how to take care of a little devil. Of course, it may also be because 2,000-5 is more obedient than all children of this age, so that the bounty hunter sometimes feels that he has not made any special efforts.

Wei Ze looked up and looked at Qiqianwu's face that was blown red by the cold wind but still smiled happily. He couldn't believe it when he said that he was a little embarrassed. Even though he was in his thirties, he still couldn't help but make impulses and make mistakes that were impossible to make in normal times, and acted as voluntarily as those young boys.

After paying the price of one leg, he bet that he had only less than four years of his life, but he lost the 25 million pension that was already close to him. He was also on the blacklist of a giant like the Deluo Group. He died socially and had to join the pioneer group and fled thousands of miles to such a deserted ghost place. At the same time, he didn't know what trouble was waiting for him in the future...

No matter how you calculate it, you still look like you lose your underwear. But even so, the bounty hunter found that he was unexpected and did not feel much regretful.

He didn't know if there were so-called standard options in this world like galgame, which could lead people who made choices to the perfect ending that countless people dream of in the legend, or that the real world was extremely cruel, nothing was perfect, no matter how you choose, you would always throw away something.

Sometimes when you choose a career, you will ruin love. When you choose family affection, you will have to give up your dreams. There are some worse options that may even ruin your life. Therefore, Weize always envys those smart and successful people. They can always judge the situation and make the most beneficial choices for themselves at the most critical moment.

In contrast, he himself is sometimes not that smart on such issues.

But what does it matter? He was originally a gambler who held a bad card and sat at the card table looking for a chance to turn the table. Even if he lost all the last bit of chips in his pocket, he would feel more regretful.
