Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

After getting up in the morning, Chen Xin finished washing up, put on his clothes, 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 going out, 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 he heard 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 she was also a little worried.

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

"Yeah!" 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 side of the scientific research center, 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 wanted to go there himself, but the old man was not in good health, so he was persuaded and replaced by a few young researchers who were young and strong.

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 moved on, there were no roads to speak of, and the city was 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 that are 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, and 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 city for a long time. As for her own home, which is still frozen under the snow, she has not dealt with it.

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 which, Chen Xin remembered that he hadn't seen his old friends 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 to survive, and there is no time for everyone to get together like in the past.

With this kind of emotion, after the convoy passed through the city, they drove for about two hours before reaching their destination today.

Laogai farms were 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 labor reform of prisoners, 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 that were 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 greenhouses have been rebuilt on the original land of the Laogai farm, they are responsible for maintaining the greenhouses, and those who work 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.

Coupled with the importance of ecological greenhouses, 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 prepared, specially arranged for a special person to greet 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, but due to various disasters after the meteorite fell, the total amount of land that has been cleared for ecological greenhouses is less than 5,000 mu, and only more than 3,000 mu of ecological greenhouses have been built, and there are still a considerable part. Land is being cleared.

In general, 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 a matter of pride for Chen Xin to have this scale.

The ecological greenhouse here adopts the original idea of ​​Chen Xin, and builds a geothermal energy tower in the center of the farm, which is used for geothermal power generation and heating, and provides electricity and heat for the surrounding ecological greenhouses to ensure the operation of the ecological greenhouses.

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 the main labor here?" Chen Xin asked the staff accompanying him.

"At present, most of the work is done by manual operation of agricultural machinery, which is semi-mechanized labor. The overall workload is not particularly large. On average, only 6-8 people can complete all the work in a 20-acre greenhouse." The staff Answering Chen Xin's question, he unconsciously revealed pride in his words: "We normally equip a greenhouse with 6 people for daily maintenance, and when it comes to harvesting, we will add two more people to help with harvesting, which can fully guarantee The operation and output of the greenhouse!"
