Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 272: Growing greenhouses above ground

Chen Xin didn't stay with Li Yulong for too long. After chatting with him for a while, he went to the greenhouse to take a look. He picked a small basket of strawberries and two wine bricks for Qin Lan. Leaving Li Yulong here with Qin Lan.

"Do you want to find Xiao Ding now?" Back in the car, Chen Xin asked Qin Lan. She had just promised to help Li Yulong get through Ding Ning's relationship. Chen Xin thought she might want to see Ding Ning.

However, Qin Lan shook his head, washed the strawberries on the counter, put them on the table, sat down and picked up one and threw it into his mouth before saying, "It's not urgent, the things Xiaolong sells are honest, It is not very necessary for the SWAT team, fresh fruit, jam, wine... These things are not necessities of life, but now belong to the category of luxury goods.

Even if I ask Aning to help clear up the relationship with the captain, the amount of these items purchased by the team will not be large. So this is not something to worry about. It doesn't matter if you go to see Aning next time, just go back today. "

When Qin Lan said this, Chen Xin didn't care, nodded and signaled Han Ping to drive back.

When Han Ping was driving back, Chen Xin looked at the strawberries Qin Lan was eating on the table, and suddenly laughed, with a strange expression on his face.

Qin Lan saw the expression on Chen Xin's face and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What funny things did you think of?"

"No, I just think it's a bit ironic. Now most people should still have enough food for three meals, but we can eat fresh fruit like before. This is really..." Chen Xin couldn't think of it at once. What is a more appropriate adjective, can only helplessly shook his head.

If it was before the disaster, Chen Xin's family would not be poor, but it was not a very rich family. He never thought that he would one day lead a better life than most people.

"What do you mean by saying this? Ah Xin, even if you worry about the country and the people, you won't feel that you need to lower your standard of living and share weal and woe with others, right?" Qin Lan picked up another strawberry, directly into his mouth.

Chen Xin nodded, affirmed Qin Lan's words, and then explained: "I was thinking about the plantation I discussed with Xiaolong before. If possible, build a large-scale greenhouse plantation and get a lot of The output of food and other crops is the way to improve the current living conditions of other people."

"That's right, you should be able to do it too, so how do you want to start? Do it yourself or cooperate with the state?" Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin and felt that he had too many thoughts today.

Chen Xin naturally noticed Qin Lan's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "I haven't reached the point where I think it's one thing, so I'll make a plan when I go back, and then think about how to do it in detail, but now I have a general idea. ideas.”

"Oh? Can you tell me?" Qin Lan suddenly became interested and wanted to hear Chen Xin talk in detail.

Chen Xin nodded, and also reached out to pick up a strawberry and put it in his mouth, and then said: "I plan to complete the previous commission of the miniaturized isotope thermoelectric battery to lay the foundation for the development of power armor and exoskeleton protective clothing. , and then complete the exoskeleton protective clothing that can be used for civilian use, and then consider the establishment of large-scale planting greenhouses."

"It really is your style, a step-by-step plan." Qin Lan was not surprised by this. Although Chen Xin sometimes has many ideas, he never lets all ideas come together, but has a plan. , let things come one by one.

However, Qin Lan still asked curiously: "I can understand your development of miniaturized batteries first, but why are you not developing power armor, but civilian exoskeleton protective clothing first? Is there any connection between growing greenhouses?"

To this question, Chen Xin gave a very positive answer: "Yes."

Seeing Chen Xin say this, Qin Lan didn't ask him to answer immediately, but after thinking about it for a while, he said: "The biggest function of exoskeleton protective clothing is to resist the harm of harsh environment and low temperature to the human body.

Using the movie "The Wandering Earth" as a reference, it should also be able to provide oxygen to ensure that users can also engage in heavy physical labor in the current environment where the oxygen content is not as good as before.

In addition, the exoskeleton itself is a power-assisted machine, which can increase the user's own strength, lift heavier things, and work more efficiently.

So, Ah Xin, you need to develop exoskeleton protective clothing first, so that people can move and work freely in the outside world, right? Do you plan to build a large planting greenhouse on the surface? "

"Well, that's right." Chen Xin nodded, and then explained: "Underground space is limited, and most of the underground space is now used for living. If you want to grow crops on a large scale, one is that there is no place, and two The cost is too high. If a large-scale planting greenhouse is built on the ground, the planting area and cost will be relatively small.”

"And according to the forecast, in the next few years, the dust will fall and the sunlight will gradually recover, and the use of supplementary lights can be reduced accordingly, saving operating costs. It is indeed much better to build on the surface than underground." Qin Lan contacted himself recently. Through the information obtained by Chen Xin, he nodded clearly.

"That's right~IndoMTL.com~ That's it. And I'm afraid this matter should start as soon as possible, because although the country's food reserves can last for a few years, there will inevitably be a crisis of food shortage in the future, so restore it as soon as possible. Food production is also a very important thing for the country." Chen Xin is still very worried about the future food problem, although he himself is not worried about this matter, but for the country, this is a very important matter.

"How much can the greenhouse alone play a role?" Qin Lan certainly understood what Chen Xin was worried about, but she did not have much confidence in how much food the greenhouse could grow and whether it could meet future food needs.

Chen Xin just answered this very seriously: "If you can save one, you will be one. Now, if you have more rice, you will be able to feed one more person in the future. It's better than doing nothing at all."

Speaking of this, Chen Xin seems to think that it is a bit unrealistic to say this, and added to Qin Lan: "And I just solve the difficulty of building a large-scale planting greenhouse, and really promote the large-scale planting greenhouse on the ground to solve the food problem. It’s the country. I’m just doing what I can."

"This is already very good. If everyone can do what they can do, it will be enough to change the world." Qin Lan smiled at Chen Xin, reaching out and pinching his face.
