Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 321: Food shortage
Chen Xin was a little surprised and puzzled when he heard Han Ze say that there were lights in the distance. The blizzard just passed, why did someone come to him?
However, it did not affect Chen Xin's response, so his parents and sisters from the Mo family returned to the refuge. He also took Han Ping to close the door of the refuge, and Chen Xin came to observe. In the room, he took the telescope that Han Ze handed over and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, as Han Ze said, on the snowy ground in the distance, there are several lights rapidly approaching the direction of Chen Xin's house.
"So fast! What is this thing?" Chen Xin estimated the speed of the approaching lights, but found that the speed of the thing was very fast, obviously not like a car.
Because of the snow, it's impossible for the car to move quickly on the snow, and the lights clearly look like a vehicle with only one headlight, not like a car should have two lights.
Just when Chen Xin was puzzled, the vehicle represented by these lights also approached Chen Xin's shelter, stopped in front of the empty space that Chen Xin and others had just cleared, and sent a communication.
"Comrade Xiao Chen, it's me, old Li of the SWAT team! Please open the door!" When Li Tou's voice came over the radio, Chen Xin was relieved and asked Han Ping to open the door.
And he took a second look with the telescope in the observation room, and then he went down from the observation room and came to the door.
The door opened, and Li Tou and others hurriedly got off the vehicle. While two people were watching the vehicle, the others quickly walked into Chen Xin's shelter.
After the gate opened, Chen Xin finally saw through the lights inside the gate that the vehicle Li Tou and others were riding was a snowmobile.
This kind of vehicle was originally designed for snow, but it is very practical in today's situation, especially the snowmobiles that Li Tou and others ride have a crawler with a bucket, which looks like a tow truck For goods, Chen Xin was even more concerned.
"Snowmobile? Riding this in such a cold day, you are freezing enough!" Chen Xin looked at the ice shell on Li Tou and the others who walked into the shelter, and the snowflakes on their eyebrows. Looks like, can't help but tease.
"Who said it wasn't! But there's no other way. Now that the car can't come out, I can only ride this one." Li Tou shook the snowflakes and bingling on his body, and then replied to Chen Xin with a wry smile: " Comrade Xiao Chen, what are you wearing? It looks pretty good!"
"The country already has a production plan for exoskeleton protective clothing, and the first batch should be released in the near future. Let's see if you can tell the difference." Chen Xin shrugged irrefutably and pulled the topic back. When it comes to business: "You people in the cold weather, you are not doing post-disaster reconstruction in the urban area, why are you running to me? Are you here to get the vegetables you left here last month? Don't worry, they are all frozen in the warehouse for you. If you want to take it away, it will be fine, that is, it has not been confiscated this month. If you want it, it is estimated that you will have to wait for tomorrow."
"Thank you so much!" Li Tou was overjoyed when he heard what Chen Xin said.
They did come to get the vegetables, but they didn't expect much when they came. After all, after a snowstorm, no one expects the vegetables to last for a month.
However, because Chen Xin put the vegetables in the warehouse before and relied on low-temperature freezing, he managed to make this batch of vegetables survive for a month. Although it may be a little bit frozen, at least it is still edible.
And knowing that the vegetables from last month were still there, Li Tou also felt relieved, and turned to explain to Chen Xin why they came here: "The supply of materials in the urban area is a little tight now, although there is enough food in reserve, But it has been almost a year since the meteorite fell. The food reserves in the shelters are almost half eaten, and the vegetables and fruits are long gone. The mealworms and mice that were raised before are also frozen this time. A large number of people died, and the city government is having a headache!"
Although Li Tou said it was not serious, the information revealed still made Chen Xin feel the seriousness of it.
"Isn't the city government engaged in underground planting? I went to see them when I used to help them remodel their boilers. Don't they have vegetables and fruits? There are also fish and poultry. And mushrooms are grown in various shelters. What?" Chen Xin frowned and asked Li Tou, although he expected that the cold brought by the blizzard would affect the food problem, but he didn't think it would be so serious.
Li Tou shook his head with a sigh and explained to Chen Xin: "Although there is still a lot of output in the underground planting area, compared with the consumption of more than 200,000 survivors in the entire urban area, it is only This is a drop in the bucket! And this snowstorm, the underground planting area was also severely affected, and many crops were severely reduced even if they did not freeze to death.
Although the mushrooms in each shelter have a certain output, they can only partially supplement the food consumption. The previous snowstorm destroyed most of the mushroom houses, and everything has to be restarted. I want to restore it in a short time. Production is difficult.
In addition, the municipal government has used emergency reserves before, and now the supply of materials in the urban area is really tight, and now they are considering limiting the supply. "
Chen Xin heard what Li Tou said, and then realized the seriousness of the problem.
Just facing this problem, he has no good solution.
He can upgrade the planting greenhouse, increase the planting area of crops, and allow people to grow more crops, but the growth of crops takes time, even if there are high-yielding seeds and fertilizers that can increase the yield, it cannot violate the laws of nature Let the seeds grow today and tomorrow.
As for his own output, it is more than enough for him to eat by himself~IndoMTL.com~ can also support a little to others, but to solve the food crisis, unless Chen Xin put his own planting The greenhouse is regenerated several levels and turned into a planting factory to engage in large-scale planting, otherwise it is impossible to rely on him to solve this problem.
The real solution to this problem is the state.
However, although the country's material reserves are large, and a large amount of materials was stored in a targeted manner before the disaster, after more than a year of consumption, how much is left is a matter of concern.
After all, this is not a matter of filling one's stomach today and it will be over. No matter how much reserves are eaten, there will be one day. After the food reserves are eaten, how to supply the rations of so many people in the country must be considered.
Although the Yan Kingdom has the largest population stock after the disaster, which provides a large number of post-disaster reconstruction labor and technical personnel for the Yan Kingdom, it is also a heavy burden. Formed a huge test.
However, for Chen Xin, he can neither get involved nor care about it. Instead of worrying about whether the country's food is enough, it is better to consider the large-scale planting greenhouse that he is planning. Success can not only open up food production areas, but also provide technical accumulation for the subsequent energy tower project, which is a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone.
