Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 495: Farm

After getting up in the morning, Chen Xin finished washing up, got dressed, had breakfast with his parents in the restaurant, and was ready to go out.

"Axin, are you going to inspect the ecological greenhouse on the Laogai farm today?" However, when Chen Xinlin was leaving, Mo Qingyan suddenly stopped him: "Can I go with you?"

"I'm going to the farm, yes, but Qingyan, do you want to go with me?" Chen Xin felt a little strange when Mo Qingyan said she wanted to go with him.

Under normal circumstances, neither Qin Lan nor Mo Qingyan would make such a request, because Chen Xin was going to work, and the two of them had never made such a request that would interfere with his work.

However, Mo Qingyan nodded clearly: "I want to go and see, can I go together?"

Mo Qingyan said with a look of hope on her face, but also a little worry.

Chen Xin thought about it and felt that it didn't matter to bring her, so he nodded in agreement: "It's okay to take you there, do you have anything to pack? If you don't have anything, just leave." /

"Hmm!" Mo Qingyan hurriedly finished her breakfast after hearing that Chen Xin was willing to take her with her, wiped her mouth, and followed.

The two left the shelter in the elevator and changed into protective clothing before arriving at the scientific research center together.

On the scientific research center side, the team is already waiting for Chen Xin.

Today they are going to the Laogai farm to inspect the construction and operation of the greenhouse to see if there are any problems that need to be improved, so in addition to Chen Xinhui, there are also several researchers from Professor Li's team.

Originally, Professor Li also wanted to go, but the old man's health was not very good, so he was persuaded and replaced by a few young researchers.

After the group met, the convoy drove out of the scientific research center and headed towards the Laogai farm.

The Laogai farm is located on the other side of the urban area. To go from the scientific research center, you need to pass through the urban area.

The convoy is moving. There are no roads to speak of now, and the city is covered with snow.

Except for a few key places where snow was cleared to ensure that several main entrances to the urban shelter were not buried by snow, other places were buried by snow from previous blizzards.

As for transportation, usually people use roads built underground.

After such a long time, all the official shelters in the city are now connected by the underground transportation network.

Under normal circumstances, the vehicle will drive underground, and will not be disturbed by the wind and snow from the ground. At the same time, it can also avoid the loss of the vehicle due to low temperature in the extremely cold environment.

However, because the vehicles of Chen Xin and his team were all-terrain vehicles, they passed through the ground directly and did not enter the underground transportation network.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to the city for a long time!" Sitting in the car, Mo Qingyan looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Since she moved to Chen Xin's place, she has indeed not been to the urban area for a long time. As for her own home, it is still frozen under the snow and has not been dealt with.

Hearing Mo Qingyan's emotion, Chen Xin also echoed: "It's true that I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't seen Xiao Ding for a long time. I don't know how she is doing now."

Speaking of this, Chen Xin remembered that he hadn't seen his friends from the past for a long time. Whether it was Ding Ning, Li Yulong, or Li Wensheng, Chen Xin hadn't seen them for a long time.

This is not because Chen Xin intends to alienate his friends, but in the current environment, everyone is struggling to survive, and there is no time for everyone to get together as in the past.

With such emotion, the convoy drove for about two hours after passing through the city before arriving at their destination today.

The Laogai farm was used to hold petty criminals and perform forced labor before the disaster.

After the disaster, due to the deterioration of the environment and various reasons, the Laogai farm is no longer responsible for the reformation of prisoners through labor, and is basically in a state of abandonment.

Among the prisoners originally detained here, the remaining prisoners with shorter sentences or the latest lighter prisoners were pardoned and released, and the rest were transferred to other places, and will participate in various labors with prisoners in other places.

This is also the way the state deals with the various criminals originally imprisoned after the disaster.

Serious criminals cannot be released. Continuing to detain them like this will consume a lot of resources. If they are allowed to work, they can still provide a good labor force for the country.

As for now, although a greenhouse has been rebuilt on the original land of the Laogai farm, the people responsible for maintaining the greenhouse and working here are no longer the criminals who were detained before, but specially trained workers.

After all, although fully automated machinery is not used here due to cost issues, and only manual operation of agricultural machinery is required to complete the work, the ecological greenhouse still requires certain professional knowledge and working skills, and it is obviously not enough to rely on prisoners.

In addition to the importance of the ecological greenhouse, it is indeed not suitable for prisoners to be the main labor force here.

For the arrival of Chen Xin and others, the farm side is naturally ready~IndoMTL.com~ specially arranged a special person to welcome them and take them to visit the greenhouse that has now been built.

The entire farm originally had more than 30,000 mu of arable land. Due to various disasters after the meteorite fell, the total amount of land that was cleared out for ecological greenhouses was less than 5,000 mu. A considerable part of the land is being cleared.

Generally speaking, this is not a very large area, but considering that the entire farm has been cleaned and constructed again, which is about half a year, it is worthwhile to have the current scale in Chen Xin's opinion. proud.

The ecological greenhouse here adopts the original idea of ​​Chen Xin, and builds a geothermal energy tower in the center of the farm, and uses this to generate electricity and heat, and provide electricity and heat for the surrounding ecological greenhouses, so as to ensure the ecological greenhouse. run.

As for the inside of the ecological greenhouse, it is more substantial than the scientific research center, because there are fewer mechanical parts and more crops are added.

"Do you still rely on manpower for the main labor here?" Chen Xin asked the staff accompanying him.

"At present, most of the work is done by manually operating agricultural machinery, which is semi-mechanized labor, and the overall labor load is not particularly large. On average, a 20-acre greenhouse only needs 6-8 people to complete all the work. "The staff answered Chen Xin's question, and unconsciously showed pride in their words: "We normally assign 6 people to a greenhouse for daily maintenance. When it comes to harvesting, we will add two more people to help with the harvest. It can fully guarantee the operation and output of the greenhouse!”
