After a one-night rest, Chen Xin, his parents, and the cousin who was in
charge of driving, returned to the shelter in the village again.
After returning to the refuge, it was naturally an inevitable hush to ask
warmth and concern. After Chen Xin dealt with it, he found the second aunt and
talked to her about the things that she wanted to bring back some chickens to
raise.
"It's easy to say, but Axin, can you bring the chicken back? It's so cold now,
the chicken is easy to freeze to death!" The second aunt expressed her concern
and brought Chen Xin to the chicken farm in the refuge. .
The second aunt opened the door of the chicken farm, and a hot air that was
different from the slightly cold air in the refuge gushed out, causing Chen
Xin to look sideways.
This chicken farm was remodeled with an ordinary room. There were about seven
or eight hens and a rooster. A chicken coop was built with bricks and asbestos
tiles in the corner, and an electric heater was placed on the other side.
This was the first heater that Chen Xin came to this refuge.
"All the chickens are here. It's okay if you want to bring the chicks back to
raise them. You can give you two hens, but in such a cold day, I'm afraid your
chickens will freeze to death if you can't take them home." I walked into the
chicken farm and touched the eggs in the chicken coop, while complaining to
Chen Xin, “Now this chicken is better than people. Roast the fire, the chicken
will make the nest warm, so as not to lay eggs! What kind of world do you
think this is?"
Listening to his second aunt's words, Chen Xin could only follow with a smile,
without saying much.
Everyone knows what kind of world it is now, and the second aunt is just
complaining and does not need Chen Xin to answer her words.
However, as to whether he can bring the chicks back, Chen Xin is quite sure,
and replied affirmatively to the second aunt: "I don't want to hatch a chick,
you can give me a few eggs that can hatch a chick. I’ll bring the eggs back,
and I’ll just hatch the chicks when I get back. I have heating facilities, the
temperature is not low, and there is no problem with raising chickens."
"That's very good. Raising a few chickens is a good thing. I can touch two
eggs to eat every day." When the second aunt heard Chen Xin say that it is
possible to raise chickens, she didn't say much, but asked him: "Then A-Sing,
how many eggs do you want? How about you bring an extra hen? Otherwise, the
chicks don’t have a hen brood, and they are not easy to raise.
"It should be enough to be able to hatch three or five chicks. The main thing
is to have a male and female. This will be better." Chen Xin put forward his
own request.
"Then I will pick ten eggs and a hen for you. Go back and build a hen house
and keep warm, so that the hen nest will almost be able to hatch." The second
aunt nodded and put the eggs that he touched. In a basket, it was handed to
Chen Xin, and the chicken manure on the chicken farm was cleaned up again, and
then Chen Xin left the chicken farm with him.
Together with Er Yi sent the harvested eggs to the storage room. Chen Xin
looked at this small storage room and couldn't help frowning: "Er Yi, there
are not many things here! Do you only have so little supplies here?"
"That's a lot! The other villages around are not as good as ours." The second
aunt said with emotion, but she also affirmed Chen Xin's statement: "The food
sent from the town every week is only enough for one week. We can If you have
this stuff to keep in stock, it depends on the greenhouses and chicken farms
you tell us that you can collect a lot of vegetables and eggs every month in
order to get something.
Life in other villages is much harder than ours. They can only live on the
food delivered by the town every week. If the town does not deliver the food
in time, they will be hungry and even starve to death. "
The second aunt's words caused Chen Xin's heart palpitations and starved to
death. For Yan Guo, this is already a memory of the previous generation.
Yan country is a traditional farming and civilized country. It has always
relied heavily on land to maintain the lives of ordinary people. Even in the
modern era with advanced technology, various natural and man-made disasters
can still affect farmers' harvest and life in a year.
In fact, before Yan's widespread promotion of hybrid rice, Yan's grain output
has been unable to meet the needs of the people, and Yan's per capita arable
land ranks quite low in the world.
This is why, in the memory of the previous generation, at the time, it caused
a national famine.
If it were not for the hybrid rice of Druid Yuan and the efforts of the
majority of agricultural scientific research workers, the country's grain
output could grow while the area of arable land decreased year by year, the
country would have faced a food crisis long ago.
In fact, the country of Yan realized the transition from not having enough
food to being full after entering the 21st century.
However, with the arrival of the apocalyptic disaster caused by the meteorite
impact, the food crisis has actually come to the people of Yan country.
The disasters caused by meteorite impacts are all-encompassing. The most
intuitive impact is the destruction of arable land across the country.
Although the country’s national reserves of food were enough to eat for the
people of the whole country for three years before the disaster, there was no
output. Even if the food can be eaten for ten years, it will be eaten in one
day.
Thanks to the national efforts before the disaster, 80% of Yanguo's population
survived. These populations have provided Yanguo with ample labor force for
the post-disaster reconstruction work that has now begun, but also for
logistics, especially food. Supply has brought tremendous pressure.
Before the disaster, Yan country’s grain production had reached an average of
650 million tons per year, and the per capita food consumption was about 470
kilograms. This amount of food can meet the consumption of the people of Yan
country. This is why the people of Yan country have never had enough food
before the disaster. It has been transformed into the reason for being full.
But now the 650 million tons of annual food production has been turned into
fly ash, and all the arable land in the country was destroyed in the disaster
caused by the meteorite impact. Due to the current climate environment, it can
no longer be cultivated.
The main source of food in Yan Country is a limited amount of food produced in
the greenhouses of various refuges and specially established planting areas.
These foods can meet part of the demand and consumption, but they absolutely
cannot meet the needs of nearly one billion survivors across the country.
In short, if the country cannot solve the problem of food supply and demand
before the stock of food is exhausted, then a considerable number of survivors
will starve to death in two to three years.
For Chen Xin, he would certainly not be able to influence the whole country
and make the people of the whole country eat full, but he can still do so that
his relatives can at least be able to eat in this apocalyptic disaster.
As for the key to being able to do this, it is natural to rely on the system
to upgrade this shelter.
However, upgrading cannot be said to be a survivor without any planning. It is
easy to cause various problems, and even if the refuge is to be upgraded, Chen
Xin must also consider the actual needs of his relatives.
——————————————
Chen Xin found his second uncle, and planned to ask him what are the current
problems in this shelter in the village, what are the most urgent needs, and
then consider which projects to upgrade first.
"The current problems and needs in the village?" After listening to Chen Xin's
question, the second uncle replied after thinking about it for a while, "The
problem is nothing more than clothing, food, housing and transportation. I
don't need to go out in such a cold day. The only consideration in the shelter
is heating.
As for the rest of the food and clothing, the problem is not too big. With the
supplies sent from the town every week, plus the greenhouse in the refuge and
the chickens raised by your aunt, you can still fill your stomach. . "
Chen Xin nodded and said in conclusion: "In other words, the most urgent need
in the village is heating?"
"It can be said that the weather is getting colder and colder. Everyone is
doing things and activities during the day, but they can still survive, but it
is very difficult to sleep at night." The second uncle expressed his concern
and was helpless. Xin said: “The heating in the shelter now relies on
generators to generate electricity, but the generators rely on a little
gasoline sent from the town every month, in case the gasoline sent to the town
next time is not enough, or not at all. , We can't make it anymore."
After Chen Xin finished listening, it became clear immediately.
Sure enough, even in different places, the demand is basically the same.
"Let me figure out how to solve these problems, and try to solve this problem
for the village." Chen Xinchong's second uncle made a guarantee and also made
some requests: "I can help the village's refuge in some reforms, but some
materials may be needed. Please ask your second uncle to ask or change it in
town."
"Upgrading? Axin, can you really do it? What can be transformed?" The second
uncle suddenly showed concern when he heard Chen Xin say this.
"There are many things that can be changed, but the problem of power supply is
still to be solved first. I first remove a battery from my car and connect it
to the circuit of the evacuation shelter, so that the power supply problem can
be temporarily solved first, and I will follow up. Carry out some
transformations to make the electricity self-sufficient~www.mtlnovel.com~Chen
Xin expounded his thoughts and explained his thoughts to the second uncle.
After listening to Chen Xin's thoughts, the second uncle showed a happy
expression on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were all relaxed: "If
the power supply problem can be solved, it would be a great help! When the
shelter was built! We listened to Axin’s suggestion to install a heating
system, but unfortunately the electricity has been unable to keep up, and now
we dare not use that thing."
"There is a heating system in the refuge?" Chen Xin couldn't help but raise
his eyebrows, but he was surprised.
Obviously, when the country first built the shelter, many issues were
considered, and Chen Xin also reminded them a lot of precautions about
building the shelter. There must be a solution to the problem of heating that
must be solved.
It's just that the shortage of energy makes the heating system a display.
Then solve the power supply problem first, so that the heater can be turned
on! Chen Xin made up his mind.
