Wang Jun replied with a wry smile, "It’s huge. Right now, our water purification is only enough to cover our own fleet. We still don’t know how to solve the drinking water problem for the survivors who’ve joined us."
Wang Jun didn’t hide their current situation; he told him the truth.
"Are you planning to save those survivors?" Ren Yuanyang continued to ask.
"Huh?" Wang Jun was taken aback for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "We have to. If we just let them be, it will definitely cause unrest. Besides, we’ll need people to restore production and develop in the future. We have to lend them a hand if we can."
"Since you intend to save them, I can sell you thirty Dripping Lotuses. As long as their roots can draw from a water source, they’ll continuously produce purified water at a rate of five liters per minute," Ren Yuanyang replied.
Hearing this, all three of them—Wang Jun included—were stunned.
Wang Jun was the first to recover. "Brother Yang, are you serious?"
"Of course. I’d rather not have any unrest at the Aircraft Carrier Base. Besides, you still have to help me acquire seeds," Ren Yuanyang said with a nod.
"That’s wonderful! On behalf of all the survivors at the Aircraft Carrier Base, I thank you!" Wang Jun said with the utmost sincerity.
Ren Yuanyang waved his hand dismissively. "If they’re going to thank anyone, let them thank you. This is just a transaction between us."
Wang Jun shook his head slightly and pressed, "Then, about the price?"
"Just pay what you think is fair," Ren Yuanyang replied. "I’ll have these Dripping Lotuses sent over with the Evolution Potions the day after tomorrow. Is that a problem?"
"No problem! Our current water supply should last us another two days!" Wang Jun’s voice was filled with excitement.
"Then we’ll make the trade the morning after tomorrow," Ren Yuanyang agreed.
Ji Yizhi couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, "Brother Yang, could our Aircraft Carrier Base buy some more?"
Ren Yuanyang paused, slightly surprised to hear someone else’s voice.
Wang Jun immediately explained, "The three of us captains were just in a meeting discussing how to solve the water shortage, so Captain Ji and Captain Long are here too!"
Ji Yizhi and Long Zhan immediately moved into the camera’s view to say hello.
"How many are you looking to buy?" Ren Yuanyang didn’t refuse outright, instead choosing to ask.
’From the sound of it, there might be a chance!’
Ji Yizhi pondered for a moment before replying, "What if we trade you all the seeds from the National Seed Bank for one hundred Purifying Lotuses?"
Of course, when he said "all the seeds," he only meant ten of each type.
"How many types of seeds do you have that I don’t?" Ren Yuanyang asked, a little curious.
"The National Seed Bank has a total of just over three hundred and sixty thousand different types of seeds. We traded ninety thousand previously, and the deal for the day after tomorrow is also for ninety thousand, which leaves a little over one hundred and eighty thousand," Wang Jun replied.
"So you really were holding back quite a bit!" Ren Yuanyang said with a laugh. "Since you’re showing such sincerity, I can’t be too stingy. In addition to the one hundred Purifying Lotuses, I’ll prepare two hundred thousand dizzy fish grass seeds for you. That will definitely be enough to cover all of your planting areas!"
"That’s fantastic! Thank you so much, Brother Yang!" Wang Jun responded happily.
Ren Yuanyang waved his hand and continued, "With that many seeds, will three speedboats be enough to carry them?"
"If they’re the same kind of speedboats from our previous trades, it should be fine," Wang Jun replied after a quick calculation.
"Good. We’ll arrange for three speedboats to head over this time," Ren Yuanyang said with a slight nod.
’It’s a good thing I just acquired those two speedboats from the Xi’an Base. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to transport all the seeds back from this trade!’
At that moment, Ji Yizhi voiced his concern. "Brother Yang, what if we can’t cultivate the dizzy fish grass seeds you give us? Also, how long does it take to grow them into mature plants?"
Ren Yuanyang smiled faintly. "Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to cultivate them. Once you get the seeds, you’ll know just by trying to grow them. As for the growth rate, seeing it for yourselves will be more intuitive than me just telling you."
Ji Yizhi paused, then nodded. "Alright, I understand."
"We really have to thank you this time, Brother Yang!" Wang Jun said, thanking him again.
Ren Yuanyang waved his hand. "No need to be so polite. This is a trade, after all!"
"Even if it is a trade, it still depends on you being willing to sell to us," Wang Jun said, shaking his head. "On behalf of everyone at the Aircraft Carrier Base, thank you for being willing to sell us the Dripping Lotus!"
"That’s right. I imagine every base right now would love to get their hands on a Dripping Lotus that can purify water," Long Zhan added in agreement.
"Alright, alright. If you keep thanking me like this, you’ll make me blush," Ren Yuanyang replied with a laugh. "Just get the seeds ready. We should set out tomorrow evening, and we’ll inform you of the transaction location at the same time."
"Understood," Wang Jun nodded.
After the call ended, a secretary standing by couldn’t help but ask, "Captain, can that Dripping Lotus really purify water? From what I know, aren’t Dripping Lotuses poisonous?"
"Don’t worry. I trust Taoyuan Yang," Wang Jun replied with a smile. "Besides, we’re also getting a huge number of different plant seeds. Taoyuan Yang has no reason to deceive us."
"Cooperating with us is the best option for Peach Blossom Base. They really have no reason to deceive us," Ji Yizhi said, strongly agreeing with Wang Jun’s assessment.
Long Zhan chuckled and countered, "They have Evolution Potions. Couldn’t they just cooperate with other bases?"
"Looking for a new base to partner with now would carry considerable risk. What’s more, no other base has this many seeds, and they might not be able to contact the River Bird Fleet," Ji Yizhi replied.
"Good point," Long Zhan said, nodding with a smile. "Now that the water problem is solved, there’s nothing left to worry about, right?"
