I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 807

Chapter 807: Building farms on the Ocean!

“When’s the last time you came back?”

Sun Jiao pressed her cheek against Jiang Chen’s chest as she let out a sigh, her gentle breath puffed on his chest as she drew circles. Her tone was resentful.

“Sorry…”

“I don’t want to hear you say sorry!”

Sun Jiao bit Jiang Chen’s shoulder and watched his pained expression before she started to chuckle.

“Sometimes I think back to when we only had our one mansion three years ago; life was good.”

Sun Jiao let out another sigh and rolled over to lie on the bed with her arms pressed against her chin. She looked at Jiang Chen’s profile, dazed. Her lips seemed to be mumbling. “And I always think… You were cuter back then.”

“Cuter…” Jiang Chen facepalmed. “For men, this isn’t a compliment.”

“Oh, I know.” Sun Jiao stuck out her tongue then smiled. “I just think you’re manlier now.”

Watching Sun Jiao’s little actions, Jiang Chen responded in a sly tone, “But you’re now more feminine than before.”

“What, you’re saying I wasn’t feminine before?” Sun Jiao’s eyebrows raised and she punched his chest with dissatisfaction.

[Just like a bandit and even manlier than a man!]

Of course, Jiang Chen could only say this in his mind.

But really, perhaps it was Sun Jiao’s wildness that attracted him in the beginning.

“What about now? Do you like the old me or the present me?” Sun Jiao moved closer to Jiang Chen and watched him.

“I like all of you.” Jiang Chen laughed without hesitation.

“What a greedy guy!”

“Haha, you don’t like that?”

The light outside the window was still an unhealthy dim yellow, but the despairing darkness was no longer visible on people’s faces. On the streets, the scavengers were still in a hurry, but no one would ever worry about dying tragically in the mouths of mutants. Wanghai survived through the most difficult 20 years and now had ushered in the first year of order. NAC would rule here and bring eternal peace and prosperity.

There was a variety of dishes on the table. Wearing an apron, Yao Yao brought out a pot of vegetable and meat stew under the watch of starving eyes.

These vegetables and pork were all produced in the Garden of Eden. Although the fruits and vegetables picked from the controlled planting tower and the meat cut from cloned pigs couldn’t be considered delicious, they still made people happy to eat.

It was perhaps only the rice, salt, and vegetable oil on the entire table that was “imported” from the modern world.

At the dinner table, Jiang Chen asked Lin Lin about the problem of building a farm at sea.

“Building a farm at sea? Oh… are you talking about submarine farms? Although this kind of thing exists, it’s not very practical. After all, Pan Asia Cooperation had plenty of arable land, and only parts of submarine infrastructure convenient for re-supplying will be paired with small submarine farms.” Lin Lin chewed delicious food while mumbling.

“Isn’t there a lot of food where Brother Jiang Chen is from?” Yao Yao tilted her small head.

“Since many people need to eat, the food we have isn’t enough,” Jiang Chen replied as he caressed Yao Yao’s hair.

Although Yao Yao didn’t quite understand the reason, it felt really nice to be touched. Yao Yao closed her eyes with happiness and tucked the problem away at the back of her mind.

Xiaorou’s fingers were pressed against her mouth and she thought of a bad idea.

“There are still a lot of tanks in stock. Why don’t you just move some over?”

“You can’t use tanks for food.” Jiang Chen didn’t know what to say.

“You can rob people!” While chewing on delicious pork ribs, Sun Jiao interrupted with an indifferent attitude.

[How are the two sisters so violent?]

“Come on, I don’t want to pick up garbage in two worlds,” Jiang Chen scoffed.

At that moment, Lin Lin, who had been busy eating, suddenly interrupted.

“Submarine farms … After all, this isn’t my specialty, and I have better ideas. But why don’t you ask the people at the Beluga Station? They should be experts in this area?”

Lin Lin’s words suddenly reminded Jiang Chen.

[Yeah, those people grow vegetables on the seabed? How did I forget about them?]

After the signing of a trade agreement with the Sixth Street, Beluga Station commenced the contract to provide paid escort agreements to merchants on the Sixth Street, from the city of Wanghai to the island of Kyushu in Japan, and from Yizhou to places even further.

In order to facilitate contact with merchants who needed escort services, Beluga Station established an office at the entrance of the Sixth Street Market. While it accepted business, it also served as an embassy.

After lunch, the family cleaned up the dishes together. At the request of Yao Yao, Jiang Chen cuddled the little Loli for a short nap.

At almost three in the afternoon, Jiang Chen went to the Sixth Street and found Wu Yue stationed there near the market of the Outer Circle, so he told Wu Yue about the submarine farm.

“Submarine Farm? What do you need this technology for?” Wu Yue looked at him bizarrely after he heard the request.

Beluga Station did possess a submarine farm on the Pacific Ocean seabed. However, because of energy shortages, the farm’s output efficiency was very low. Otherwise, they wouldn’t import so many cans from the Sixth Street every month.

However, Wu Yue was curious because NAC controlled the powerful Garden of Eden – why did they need to think about submarine farms?

“It’s for research purposes. We can discuss the price. However, the technical data of this submarine farm shouldn’t be too difficult for you to work with, right?” Jiang Chen asked.

Seeing as Jiang Chen didn’t plan on explaining further, Wu Yue shrugged. He didn’t bother asking any further.

“It’s not really difficult. The price… How about a ton of canned beef? After all, the data should be worth something. Apart from the submarine station, there are very few departments that will store—”

“Deal,” Jiang Chen agreed.

Seeing as Jiang Chen agreed so fast, Wu Yue was happy but felt regretful at the same time. He should’ve asked for a higher price!

However, since they agreed on the deal, he wouldn’t say anymore. He sent a message back to the station. Jiang Chen didn’t wait for a long time before they sent back the relevant data on submarine farms.

The data was downloaded to his watch. Jiang Chen took out a check and signed it with a line of written words. He told Wu Yue that he could take this check and go to NAC’s granary to withdraw a ton of canned beef before leaving Beluga Station’s office.
