Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 152: Happy harvest

The small harvester looks like a walk-behind weeder, although from the structure to the principle, there is almost no difference between the two, and even the walk-behind weeder can be modified with a little modification. The harvester comes, but there are some differences between the two.

In particular, Chen Xin is a miniature combine harvester with a threshing function, which is quite different in shape.

The principle of both uses the engine to drive the blade to cut the stalks of the plant, but the weeder needs to adjust the height of the blade as needed to avoid cutting the lawn too bald, and the harvester needs to increase the blade appropriately , And add guide vanes to better cut the crop stems.

When using it, you only need the engine, and then aim at the crop to be harvested, and then push it forward at a certain constant speed.

This kind of small harvester has rollers and crawlers at the bottom. As long as the handle is held firmly, the crop can be harvested smoothly without the possibility of running crooked or running off the track.

Compared with manual harvesting, mechanical harvesting has considerable advantages in terms of efficiency and cost. After all, people will be tired, but machines will not.

Chen Xin's machine is too small, so it's a walk-behind one, and a slightly larger one even has a seat on it, which can be completely seated, so it can be said to be quite comfortable.

So when the upland rice in the field is mature, Chen Xin has also filled the small harvester with oil, and is ready to harvest after starting it.

"Zizzi! Zizi!" With the operation of the engine, Chen Xin only needs to push the machine forward, and the sharp blade will quickly cut the stalks of the rice.

In addition, Chen Xin uses an integrated combine harvester. The cut rice will be directly crushed and threshed under the action of the machine, and it will become the shelled grain in the bag, leaving only the threshing on the ground. After the rice stalks.

Compared with the traditional manual harvesting, which requires holding the rice stalks by hand, and then cutting the rice stalks with a sickle, this is really much simpler.

After all, the artificially harvested rice ears that are attached to the stalks need to be threshed again. Even with the help of a thresher, this is a very heavy work.

But with a combine harvester, there is no such trouble, and the harvested rice can be directly processed into husk grains.

So when a row of rice was cut and the grains were in the bag hanging next to the harvester, Chen Xin couldn't help whistling cheerfully.

He thought that harvesting rice would be a tiring job before he got a small farm machine, but he didn't expect it to be so easy after using the machine.

This naturally greatly strengthened his enthusiasm, pushing the harvester to continue harvesting quickly, striving to cut all his rice fields within an hour.

The part that Chen Xin wants to harvest is not too much. In a total of only 200 square meters, there are still 50 square meters where carrots are grown, so what he wants to harvest is only 150 square meters of rice fields.

Although the small harvester makes the harvesting work very easy, Chen Xin still needs to lower his head, as if he is lying on the handrail of the harvester with his back hunched, because the height of the hydroponic planting plate above his head is really high. It's a little low, so he can't straighten up.

Of course, this is much more relaxing and comfortable than bending over to cut rice.

So it didn't take much time for Chen Xin to cut all the 150 square meters of upland rice.

The harvested rice is also threshed by a combine harvester and placed in a bag on the machine.

The bag was not sealed, but it was full. Chen Xin tried to reach for it, but it was so heavy that he could barely lift it.

One hundred and fifty square meters of upland rice is filled with three huge sacks after harvesting, with an average of about seventy to eighty catties per bag.

Of course, this is the unhulled grain, and it needs to be dried for long-term storage.

Although it is not impossible to directly dehull it into new rice, because there is still a lot of moisture, the rice grains are likely to be broken.

If this process was in the past, it would not be very troublesome. Just find a flat ground and spread out the grains for drying. As long as it is a flat concrete floor, it can be used to dry rice.

Chen Xin has even seen farmers drying rice on the road before, so this work mainly depends on the weather, not on the site.

But now the most convenient and direct heat source, the sun, is gone, and it is impossible to take out the millet and put it in the snow.

Just considering the lack of space inside the shelter, Chen Xin decided to use mechanical drying to remove the moisture from the grains instead of drying them naturally.

Although mechanically dried grains will have a poorer taste, it is better than leaving these grains as they are to cause mildew or germination.

As for how to perform mechanical drying, it is not difficult to solve this problem with the continuous heat source of ground source heat pump.

Whether it is roasting with a tray or blowing hot air with a blower, it is a way to remove moisture from the rice.

The three sacks were laboriously moved out of the planting greenhouse~IndoMTL.com~Chen Xin did not put the three bags of rice in the storage room, but just opened the pockets in the public space.

Until the dryer is made, the rice cannot be stored in the warehouse, so it is the correct way to leave it open.

As for making a dryer, Chen Xin scratched his head a little. He had neither done nor seen it before.

Even with the information on the computer, no relevant pictures or text descriptions were found, which made Chen Xin very worried.

How should this thing be done? Is it really a big tray to bake?

However, Chen Xin only dismissed the idea after passing it in his mind, because it was really a bit unreliable. It's embarrassing when it's cooked.

However, after thinking hard, Chen Xin remembered the clothes dryer he used and the home dryer his mother used before.

The principle of both is to dry wet items with relatively high temperature air in a relatively closed space to remove moisture.

Could you make a similar thing and use it to dehydrate the grain?

Chen Xin thought about it and felt that this method should be feasible, but before he started, he still planned to draw a drawing to study it carefully.

After all, I haven’t practiced it. If you start directly, things are broken and the problem is small, but the system is used to disassemble the recycled materials, but if the grain is destroyed, the loss will be at least one-third of this year. harvested.

So in order to be cautious, Chen Xin decided to draw the drawings of the equipment first, and then carefully study the feasibility.
