Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 48: Livelongandprosper
According to Chen Xin’s estimation, if he can get supplies from Mo Qingyan this month to upgrade the planting greenhouse and replant vegetables in time, then next month he will not only be able to harvest seven times the current yield of vegetables, but also It is a bumper harvest to be able to harvest the carrots grown last month.
It’s just that if you really collect so many vegetables, you must deal with it in time. Chen Xin can’t finish eating so many vegetables by himself. The only choice is to exchange them for supplies.
The big freezer that Bi he bought from Mo Qingyan can hold hundreds of kilograms of vegetables and it will be full. That is his current harvest in a month. If the real output is seven times, he must have no place to put so much. vegetable.
Chen Xin thought about it seriously, but decided to plant upland rice according to the original idea.
If it is to use materials to upgrade, while increasing the planting area and hydroponic planting plate, Chen Xin can completely plant upland rice on the ground and move the vegetable planting to the hydroponic plate.
In this way, he can not only harvest enough food for himself, but also have enough fresh vegetables to exchange for supplies.
After all, the upgraded greenhouse will be 200 square meters in size, and there will also be a hydroponic planting tray of the same area. The 200 square meters of land will be planted with upland rice, which can be harvested twice a year, and about 600 kilograms of rice can be harvested.
As for the vegetables planted on the hydroponic planting plate, with his current planting ratio of half carrots, half cabbage and lettuce, he can harvest about 600 catties of cabbage and 600 catties of lettuce every month on average. And about three hundred pounds of carrots.
Although the carrots are harvested once in March, they are also more durable. It is undoubtedly a high-quality material that can be traded.
After such a calculation, Chen Xin suddenly found that his supplies became abundant. Whether it was the rice or vegetables he ate, he had a great surplus.
He can completely exchange most of his monthly vegetable output for supplies to upgrade the shelter and make himself a better life. At the same time, he can also exchange some other things to enrich his dining table, such as meat and wine.
These outputs can also be exchanged for other things Chen Xin needs, such as the small agricultural machinery for farming that he most needs now, and the firearms for self-protection.
Of course, Chen Xin doesn't necessarily have to change guns. He can use vegetables to exchange materials, then upgrade the weapon cabinet, click on the gun manufacturing blueprint in the weapon cabinet, and make guns by himself.
It's just that he wasn't sure what the gun he built would look like. If it was a more primitive type of firearm, it would be a little less reliable and usable than the one he bought.
After all, he can ask Uncle Ding to get a pistol from the SWAT team through Ding Ning, but if he builds it himself, if the upgrade level is not enough, it is likely to be the kind of simple firearm that does not even have a rifling.
That's not to say that the gun cannot be used, but it is not very practical, and it is not easy to carry around.
However, the upgrade of the weapon cabinet must be carried out. As the old saying goes, "the heart of harm is indispensable, the heart of defense is indispensable." Having a reliable weapon to defend yourself is also to make yourself better in this end of the world. guarantee of survival.
, Chen Xin thought of this, so he added the materials needed to upgrade the weapon cabinet into his list, and decided to use the vegetables produced this month as a deposit to contact Mo Qingyan with Uncle Ding in exchange for the list. The final payment will wait until next month after upgrading the greenhouse and expanding the output.
Although this payment method is a bit unreliable in the end times, Chen Xin believes that he can still exchange these things based on his relationship with Mo Qingyan and Ding Ning.
After making the list, Chen Xin is ready to set up his own communication antenna and connect his shortwave radio station, so that he can get in touch with Mo Qingyan and the others. Take a trip.
The temperature is not too low now, it is not a big problem for a trip, but as the weather gets colder and colder, you will suffer when you go out.
Chen Xin thought so, took out the Lucia-made military shortwave antenna specially prepared by him from the tin box, and walked out of the refuge with the box.
The best place to set up the antenna is of course the top of the mountain where the refuge is located. However, considering that the maintenance and wiring of the antenna are troublesome if it is installed on the top of the mountain, Chen Xin chose to set up the antenna halfway up the mountain.
Here is a pre-made concrete base. Although the fire had burned the place in a bad way, but after sweeping away the ashes and residues on the surface, the concrete base on the ground is still intact, but it looks black. of.
After cleaning the cement base, Chen Xin took out the shortwave antenna placed in the box, erected it on the cement base, and screwed all the fixing bolts into the pre-reserved screw holes, The shortwave antenna is fixed on the concrete base.
After installing the antenna, Chen Xin also needs to connect the antenna to the shortwave radio station in the shelter.
Fortunately, the cable has been buried here in advance, but there is no need to pull the cable.
Chen Xin opened the grid of the refuge vent below the cement base, pulled a cable out of it, and plugged it into the port under the antenna.
After doing all this, Chen Xin did not forget to put a layer of camouflage cloth on the antenna to prevent anyone from finding it and causing damage.
Although there are almost no people who can appear in the wild in the end of the world, those who can appear in the wild at this time are definitely not ordinary people. In case someone discovers the antenna, steals it or finds it If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have in your own refuge, that is also a cause of trouble for yourself.
So in order to reduce some unnecessary troubles, Chen Xin still put a layer of camouflage cloth on the shortwave radome to make the whole antenna look like a small black mound.
Looking at his work, Chen Xin returned to the shelter with satisfaction.
In the shelter, Chen Xin also took out the shortwave radio station, put it on the table reserved in the living room, and connected the other end of the cable to the shortwave radio station.
After turning on the radio switch and adjusting the channel, Chen Xin made his first call: "This is the writer~IndoMTL.com~ I am here to call all fellow survivors, please answer if you hear me. Wearestillalive, Livelongandprosper."
This sentence is the signal they agreed at the time. When everyone gets in touch after the disaster, they will say this sentence to show their identity and the status quo of surviving.
Chen Xin waited, but there was silence on the shortwave radio station. Only a faint electric current flowed through, which made Chen Xin feel a little frustrated.
Just when Chen Xin watched the unanswered radio station and wanted to turn it off, the radio finally rang out with an answering voice: "This is an old farmer in the field. I am glad to hear your voice, writer. Wearestillalive, Livelongandprosper.”
"Here is a drilling expert. I have enough supplies to accommodate companions who need refuge. Wearestillalive, Livelong and prosper."
"This is a mountain climbing tiger. It is in good condition. I am glad that everyone has survived this disaster. Wearestillalive, Livelongandprosper."
"Here is..."
After answering one by one, I remembered, listening to everyone's answers, Chen Xin's heart was full of joy and excitement, and the companions in the survival group responded at this moment, proving that he was still alive and well.
And the last answer also came to mind at this time: "I am Dragon Mother, and I am doing well. It is great that no one is missing! Wearestillalive, Livelongandprosper!"
