After a night¡¯s rest, Chen Xin, his parents, and his cousin-in-law who was responsible for driving returned to the village shelter again.
After returning to the shelter, there was naturally another round of greetings and concerns. After Chen Xin dealt with it, he found his second aunt and told her that he wanted to take some chicks back to raise.
"It's easy to talk about, but A Xin, can you take the chicks back? It's so cold now, the chicks can easily freeze to death!" The second aunt expressed her worries and took Chen Xin to the chicken farm in the shelter. .
The second aunt opened the door of the chicken farm, and a stream of hot air that was different from the slightly cold air in the shelter came out, making Chen Xin look sideways.
This chicken farm was converted from an ordinary room, with about seven or eight hens and one rooster inside. A chicken coop was built with bricks and asbestos tiles in the corner, and an electric heater was placed on the other side.
This is the first heater Chen Xin has seen since he came to this shelter.
"All the chickens are here. If you want to take the chickens back to raise them, it's okay. I can give you two hens. But in such a cold weather, I'm afraid that if you can't take the chickens home, they will freeze to death." The second aunt opened the door He picked up the barrier at the door of the chicken farm and walked into the chicken farm. While touching the eggs in the chicken coop, he half-complained to Chen Xin: "Now the chickens are living better than people. There are no people." Instead of heating up the fire, the chicken has to keep its 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 laugh and said nothing more.
Everyone knows what the world is like now. The second aunt just complained a few words, and Chen Xin didn't need to answer her words.
However, Chen Xin was quite confident about whether he could bring the chicks back. He replied firmly to his second aunt: "I don't want to hatch chicks either. Second aunt, just give me a few eggs that can hatch chicks." , I will take the eggs back and hatch the chicks when they return to my place. I have heating equipment there and the temperature is not low, so there is no problem in raising chickens."
"That's good. It's a good thing to raise a few chickens. You can touch and eat two eggs every day." When the second aunt heard that Chen Xin said that she had the conditions to raise chickens, she didn't say much and just asked him: "Then Ah Xin, how many eggs do you want? Why don't you bring an extra hen? Otherwise, the chicks won't have a hen to nest in, and it won't be easy to raise them."
"It should be enough to hatch three or five chicks. The main thing is to have male and female eggs. This will be better." Chen Xin put forward his request.
"Then I'll pick ten eggs and a hen for you. You go back and build a henhouse, keep it warm, and let the hen sit in the nest and the chicks will hatch." The second aunt nodded and put the eggs out. He put it in a basket and handed it to Chen Xin to hold. He cleaned up the chicken manure on the chicken farm again and then left the chicken farm with Chen Xin.
Together with his second aunt, Chen Xin sent the harvested eggs to the storage room. Chen Xin looked at the small storage room and frowned: "Second aunt, there are not many things here! Do you only have this few supplies here?"
"It's already quite a lot! Other surrounding villages are not as good as us." The second aunt said with emotion, but she also confirmed Chen Xin's statement: "The food delivered to the town every week is only enough for one week. We can To have this kind of inventory, we still need to rely on the few chickens in the greenhouse and chicken farm you told us to build. We can harvest a lot of vegetables and eggs every month, so that we can exchange for something.
"Other villages have a much harder time than we do. They can only live on the food delivered by the town every week. If the town does not deliver food in time, they will starve, and some may even starve to death." "
The words of the second aunt made Chen Xin feel palpitated and starved to death. This was a memory that only the previous generation had in the Yan Kingdom.
Yanguo is a traditional farming and civilized country that has always relied heavily on land to maintain the lives of its people. Even in modern times with advanced science and technology, various natural and man-made disasters can still affect farmers' harvests and lives for a year to a great extent.
In fact, before Yanguo promoted hybrid rice on a large scale, Yanguo¡¯s grain output had never been able to meet the needs of the people, and Yanguo¡¯s per capita cultivated land area ranked quite low in the world.
This is why in the memory of the previous generation, during the war, there was a nationwide famine.
If it weren¡¯t for Yuan Da Druid¡¯s hybrid rice and the efforts of agricultural scientific researchers, Yan State¡¯s food production could still grow despite the decrease in cultivated land area year by year, Yan State would have faced a food crisis long ago.
In fact, it was only after entering the 21st century that Yan State realized the transformation from not having enough to eat to having enough to eat.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With the arrival of the apocalyptic disaster caused by the meteorite impact, the food crisis has truly come to the people of Yan Kingdom.
The disaster caused by the meteorite impact is in all aspects. The most intuitive impact is that the cultivated land across the country has been destroyed.
Although the national reserves of Yan State were enough to feed the people of the country for three years before the disaster, there was no output. Even if the food could last for ten years, it would be exhausted one day.
Before the disaster, thanks to the country's efforts, 80% of Yanguo's population survived. This population has provided Yanguo with a considerable labor force in the post-disaster reconstruction work that has now begun, but it also provides logistics, especially food. Supply has brought tremendous pressure.
Before the disaster, the grain output of Yan State had reached an average of 650 million tons per year, and the per capita grain occupancy was about 470 kilograms. This much food could satisfy the consumption of the people of Yan State. This is why it is said that before the disaster, the people of Yan State had never had enough to eat. It has transformed into a reason to eat well.
But now all the 650 million tons of annual grain production have been turned into fly ash. All the cultivated land in the country has been destroyed in the disaster caused by the meteorite impact. Due to the current climate and environment, it can no longer be cultivated.
The main source of food in the Yan Kingdom now is the limited food produced in the greenhouses of various shelters and specially established planting areas. These foods can meet some needs and consumption, but they absolutely cannot meet the needs of the nearly one billion survivors across the country.
In short, if the country cannot solve the problem of food supply and demand before the food reserves are exhausted, a considerable number of survivors will starve to death in two to three years.
For Chen Xin, he definitely can't influence the whole country and make people all over the country have enough to eat, but he can still do it so that his relatives can at least have enough to eat in this apocalyptic disaster.
As for the key to being able to do this, it is naturally to rely on the system to upgrade the shelter.
However, upgrading cannot be said to be just throwing away survival points without any planning, as that can easily cause various problems, and even if he wants to upgrade this shelter, Chen Xin must consider the actual needs of his relatives.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Chen Xin found his second uncle and planned to ask him what problems the shelter in the village currently has and what its most urgent needs are, and then consider which projects should be prioritized for upgrade.
"What are the current problems and needs in the village?" After listening to Chen Xin's question, the second uncle touched his chin and thought for a while before replying: "The problem is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. I don't think about it now. There is no need to go out in such a cold weather. If you live in The only thing to consider in a shelter is heating.
As for the remaining food and clothing, it¡¯s not a big problem. With the supplies delivered every week from the town, plus the greenhouse in the shelter and the chickens raised by your second aunt, we can still ensure that everyone has enough to eat. . "
Chen Xin nodded and said conclusively: "In other words, the most urgent need in the village at present is heating?"
"It can be said that the weather is getting colder and colder. During the day, everyone is doing things and doing activities. I can still survive, but it is very uncomfortable to sleep at night." The second uncle showed his worries and said helplessly to Chen Xin said: "Currently, the heating in the shelter relies on a generator to generate electricity, but the generator relies on a little gasoline sent by the town every month. In case the gasoline sent by the town is not enough next time, or it is not sent at all. , we can¡¯t hold on any longer.¡±
After hearing this, Chen Xin suddenly understood.
Sure enough, even in different places, the needs are generally the same.
"Let me think of solutions to these problems and try to solve this problem for the village." Chen Xinchong assured his second uncle and also made some requests: "I can help with some modifications to the village's shelter, but it may require some materials. I¡¯ll ask my second uncle to ask the town to get it or exchange it.¡±
"Upgrading? Ah Xin, can you really do it? What kind of things can be transformed?" When the second uncle heard what Chen Xin said, he immediately showed concern.
"There are many things that can be changed, but first we have to solve the power supply problem. I first removed a battery from my car and connected it to the circuit of the shelter. In this way, the power supply problem can be solved temporarily, and I will solve it later. Make some modifications and strive to make electricity self-sufficient." Chen Xin elaborated on his thoughts and also explained his thoughts to his second uncle.
After listening to Chen Xin's thoughts, the second uncle showed an expression of joy on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead relaxed a lot: "If we can really solve the power supply problem, it will be a big help! When the shelter was being built, We followed your advice, Ah Xin, and installed a heating system, but unfortunately the electricity has never been able to keep up, and now we don¡¯t dare to drive that thing.¡±
"Is there a heating system in the shelter?" Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he suddenly realized.
¡°Obviously the country had considered many issues when building the shelter, and Chen Xin also reminded them of many things to pay attention to when building the shelter. There must be solutions to problems like heating that must be solved.
It¡¯s just that the shortage of energy has turned the heating system into a decoration.
Then let¡¯s solve the power supply problem first so that the heater can be turned on! Chen Xin made up his mind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp; "Is there a heating system in the shelter?" Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he suddenly understood.
