    Hearing Han Ze say that there were lights in the distance, Chen Xin was a little surprised and confused. The snowstorm had just passed, why did someone come to his place?

    However, the confusion did not affect Chen Xin's response. He asked his parents and Mo sisters to return to the shelter. He also took Han Ping and closed the door of the shelter. Chen Xin then came to the observation room and took the  He passed the telescope handed over by Han Ze and looked into the distance.

    Sure enough, as Han Ze said, on the snow in the distance, there were a few lights heading towards Chen Xin's home quickly.

    "So fast! What is this thing?" Chen Xin estimated the speed of the light approaching, but found that the speed of the thing was very fast, and it obviously did not look like a car.

    Because of the snow, it was impossible for the car to move quickly on the snow, and the light clearly looked like a vehicle with only one headlight, unlike a car that should have two headlights.

    Just when Chen Xin was confused, the vehicle represented by these lights also approached Chen Xin's shelter, stopped in front of the clearing that Chen Xin and others had just cleared, and sent a communication.

    "Comrade Xiao Chen, it's me, Old Li from the SWAT team! Please open the door!" Li Tou's voice came over the radio, and Chen Xin felt relieved and asked Han Ping to open the door.

    And he himself took another careful look with the telescope in the observation room, and then went down from the observation room and came to the front door.

    The door opened, and Li Tou and others hurriedly got off the vehicle. While two people were separated to look at the vehicle, the others quickly walked into Chen Xin's shelter.

    After the gate opened, Chen Xin finally saw clearly that the vehicle Li Tou and others were riding was a snowmobile through the light inside the gate.

    This kind of vehicle was originally designed for snow, but it is very practical in today's situation, especially since the snowmobile that Li Tou and others rode also has a crawler type with a bucket, which looks like it is used for towing cargo.  , which made Chen Xin even more suspicious.

    "Snowmobile? It's such a cold day to ride this, you will be freezing!" Chen Xin looked at the ice shell on the bodies of Li Tou and others who walked into the shelter, as well as the snowflakes hanging on their eyebrows, and couldn't bear it.  He couldn't help but joke.

    "Who says it's not! But there's no other way. Now that the car can't be driven, we can only ride this one." Li Tou shook off the snowflakes and icebergs on his body, and then smiled bitterly at Chen Xin and replied: "Comrade Xiao Chen  What are you wearing? It looks pretty good!"

    "The country already has a production plan for exoskeleton protective suits. The first batch should be out in the near future. Let's see if you can get them." Chen Xin shrugged noncommittally and brought the topic back to business.  : "You guys who are freezing in the cold weather are not engaged in post-disaster reconstruction in the city. Why are you here here? Are you here to pick up the vegetables you left here last month? Don't worry, they are all frozen in the warehouse for you. If you want to get them,  Just go, I haven¡¯t confiscated this month¡¯s money yet, so if you want it, you¡¯ll probably have to wait until tomorrow.¡±

    "Thank you so much!" Li Tou was overjoyed when he heard what Chen Xin said.

    They did come to get the vegetables, but they didn¡¯t have high hopes when they came. After all, after a snowstorm, no one expected the vegetables to be preserved for a month.

    But Chen Xin¡¯s side was because he had put the vegetables into the warehouse before and relied on low-temperature freezing to successfully survive the batch of vegetables for a month. Although they might be a little frozen, they were at least still edible.

    Knowing that the vegetables from last month were still there, Li Tou was relieved and explained to Chen Xin why they came: "The supply of materials in the urban area is a bit tight now. Although the food reserves are enough, but from the meteorite  It has been almost a year since I fell. Nearly half of the food stored in various shelters has been eaten. The fruits and vegetables are gone. The mealworms and mice I raised before have also frozen to death this time.  A large number of people, the city government is having a headache over this matter!¡±

    Although what Li Tou said was not serious, the information revealed still made Chen Xin feel the seriousness of it.

    "Isn't the city government engaged in underground planting? I went to see it when I helped them renovate their boilers. Aren't there vegetables and fruits there? There are also fish and poultry. And where are the mushrooms grown in various shelters?"  Chen Xin frowned and asked Li Tou. Although he expected that the cold brought by the snowstorm would affect the food problem, he did not think it would be so serious.

    Li Tou sighed and shook his head, and explained to Chen Xin: "Although there is still a lot of output in the underground planting area, compared with the consumption of more than 200,000 survivors in the entire city, it is just a drop in the bucket!  Moreover, the underground planting area was also severely affected by this snowstorm, and many crops suffered severe yield losses even if they were not frozen to death.

    Although the mushrooms in each shelter have certain production,?, but it can only partially replenish food consumption. The previous snowstorm destroyed most of the mushroom houses. Everything has to be restarted. It is difficult to resume production in a short time.

    ¡°In addition, the city government has used emergency reserves before, and now the supply of materials in the urban area is really tight, and now they are considering limiting the supply.  "

    When Chen Xin heard what Li Tou said, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

    ¡°But facing this problem, he didn¡¯t have any good solution.

    He can upgrade the greenhouse and increase the planting area of ??crops so that people can plant more crops. However, crop growth takes time. Even if there are high-yield seeds and chemical fertilizers that can increase the yield, they cannot go against the laws of nature and let the seeds grow today.  Plant it and it will grow tomorrow.

    As for the output he has here, it is more than enough for him to eat himself, and he can also provide some support to others. But if he wants to solve the food crisis, that is unless Chen Xin regenerates his cultivation greenhouse several levels into a  Planting factories engage in large-scale planting, otherwise it is unlikely that they can solve this problem.

    ¡°To really solve this problem, we have to look to the country.

    ¡°However, although the country¡¯s material reserves are large, and a large amount of materials were stored before the disaster, after more than a year of consumption, how much is left is a matter of concern.

    After all, this does not mean that you can just fill your stomach today. No matter how much you reserve, you will run out of food one day. You must consider how to supply rations for such a large population in the country after the reserve food is used up.

    Although Yan State has the largest population after the disaster, which provides Yan State with a large number of post-disaster reconstruction labor and technical personnel, it is also a heavy burden, which has a huge impact on Yan State's logistics support capabilities and material production capabilities.  test.

    However, Chen Xin has neither a hand in this kind of thing, nor is it his turn to care about it. Instead of worrying about whether the country's food is enough, it is better to consider the large-scale planting greenhouse he plans. If this can succeed, not only  It can open up food production areas and provide technology accumulation for the subsequent energy tower project. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
