Chapter 497: farm

Chen Xin, who woke up in the morning, finished washing, 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 labor reform

farm today?" However, when Chen Xinlin went out, Mo Qingyan suddenly stopped

him: "Can I go with you?"

"I'm going to the farm, yes, but Qingyan, you want to go with me?" Chen Xin

felt a little strange when Mo Qingyan said that he 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, the expression on her face looked a little bit hopeful, but a

little bit worried.

Chen Xin thought for a while, and felt that it didn't matter to bring her, so

he agreed and nodded: "It's okay to take you there. Do you have anything to

clean up? If there is nothing to do, let's go."

"Hmm!" Mo Qingyan hurriedly finished her breakfast after hearing Chen Xin

willing to take her with her, wiped her mouth and followed.

The two left the refuge in the elevator, and after putting on protective

clothing, they came to the research center together.

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

Today they are going to the labor reform farm to inspect the construction and

operation of the greenhouse to see if there are any problems that need

improvement. So in addition to Chen Xinhui, there are several researchers from

Professor Li's team.

Originally, Professor Li had to go there himself, but the old man was not in

good health, so he was persuaded and replaced with a few young and powerful

researchers.

After the group merged, the convoy drove out of the scientific research center

and drove in the direction of the labor reform farm.

Laogai Farm is located on the other side of the urban area, passing through

the urban area from the scientific research center.

The motorcade is moving forward, and there are no roads to speak of, and the

city is covered with snow everywhere.

Except for a few key places where people cleaned the snow to ensure that the

main entrances of the urban refuge were not buried by snow, other places were

buried by snow from the previous blizzard.

As for transportation, under normal circumstances everyone uses roads built

underground.

After such a long period of time, all the official shelters in the urban area

have been connected by the underground transportation network.

Under normal circumstances, the vehicle will drive underground, will not be

disturbed by the wind and snow from the ground, and at the same time, it can

also avoid the loss of the vehicle due to the low temperature in the extremely

cold environment.

However, because the vehicles of Chen Xin and their fleet were all-terrain

vehicles, they passed directly through the ground 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 of the car window and couldn't help but sigh

with emotion.

Since she moved to Chen Xin's place, she has indeed not been to the city for a

long time. As for her own home is still frozen under the snow, she has not

dealt with it.

Hearing Mo Qingyan's emotion, Chen Xin also echoed: "It is 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 friends in 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 working hard for survival, and there is no

time for everyone to gather together for leisure like in the past.

With such emotion, after the convoy passed through the city, it drove for

about two hours before reaching their destination today.

Reform-through-labor farm was used to detain minor criminals and perform

forced labor before the disaster.

After the disaster, due to the malignant changes in the environment and

various reasons, the reform-through-labor farm is no longer responsible for

reforming prisoners and is basically in a state of abandoned.

Among the prisoners originally detained here, the prisoners with the shorter

remaining sentence or the latest lighter sentence were released by amnesty,

and the rest were transferred to other places, and they would participate in

various labor together with prisoners in other places.

This is also how the state handled various criminals that were originally held

after the disaster.

Serious prisoners cannot be released. If they continue to be detained, they

will consume a lot of resources. If they are allowed to work, they will still

provide a good labor force for the country.

As for now, although greenhouses have been rebuilt on the original land of the

reform-through-labor farm, they are responsible for maintaining the

greenhouses, and the workers here are no longer the criminals who were

previously detained, but the specially trained workers.

After all, because of cost issues, there is no fully automated machinery here,

and only manual operation of agricultural machinery is used to complete the

work, but the ecological greenhouse still requires certain professional

knowledge and labor skills. 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 is naturally prepared. UU

Reading www.uukanshu.com specially arranged for someone to greet them, and

took them to visit the greenhouses that have now been built.

The entire farm originally had more than 30,000 acres of arable land. Due to

various disasters after the meteorite fell, the total land that has been

cleared for ecological greenhouses is less than 5,000 acres. Only more than

3,000 acres have been built for ecological greenhouses, and there is still a

considerable part of it. The land is being cleared.

Generally speaking, this is not a large area, but considering that the entire

farm has been cleaned up and constructed again, that is, it has been about

half a year, Chen Xin seems to be proud of the current scale.

The ecological greenhouse here adopts Chen Xin's original idea. A geothermal

energy tower is built in the center of the farm to generate geothermal power

and heating to provide electricity and heat to the surrounding ecological

greenhouse to ensure the operation of the ecological greenhouse.

As for the interior 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 your main labor now?" 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. The overall labor volume is not

particularly large. On average, only 6-8 people are required to complete all

the work in a greenhouse with an area of 20 acres." Answering Chen Xin’s

question, he unconsciously expressed pride in his words: "We normally equip a

greenhouse with 6 people for daily maintenance. When it comes to harvesting,

we will add two more people to help with the harvest, which can fully

guarantee The operation and output of the greenhouse!"
