Chapter 321: Food shortage

Hearing Han Ze said that there were lights in the distance, Chen Xin was a little surprised and a little puzzled. The blizzard had only passed, so why did someone come here?
However, he was puzzled, but it did not affect Chen Xin's response. Both his parents and Mo sisters returned to the refuge. They also took Han Ping and closed the door of the refuge. Then, Chen Xin came to the observation room and met him. He passed the telescope handed by Han Ze and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, as Han Ze said, on the snowy ground in the distance, there were a few lights rushing towards Chen Xin's home.
"So fast! What is this?" Chen Xin estimated the approaching speed of the light, but found that the object was very fast, obviously not like a car.
Because of the snow, it is impossible for a car to move fast on the snow, and the light looks obviously a vehicle with only one light, not like a car should have two lights.
Just when Chen Xin was puzzled, the vehicle represented by these lights also approached Chen Xin's refuge, stopped in front of the empty space that Chen Xin and others had just cleared, and sent a communication.
"Comrade Chen, it's me, the special police team, old Li! Please open the door!" Li Tou's voice came over the radio, and Chen Xin was relieved and asked Han Ping to open the door.
And he himself took a second look with the telescope in the observation room before he went down from the observation room and came to the door.
The door opened and Li Tau and the others hurriedly got off the vehicle. While two people were separated looking at the vehicle, the others quickly walked into Chen Xin's refuge.
After the door was opened, Chen Xin finally saw through the lights in the door that the vehicle Li Tau and the others rode was a snowmobile.
This kind of vehicle was originally dedicated to snow, but it is very practical in this situation. Especially the snowmobiles that Li Tau and others ride have a crawler with a body, which looks like it is used for towing goods. , Which made Chen Xin even more concerned.
"Snowmobile? Such a cold Tianqi, you are so cold!" Chen Xin looked at the ice shell on Li Tou and the others who entered the refuge, as well as the appearance of snowflakes hanging on their eyebrows. Can't help but tease.
"Who said no! But there is no way. Now that the car can't be driven out, I can only ride this." Li Tau shook the snowflakes and Bing Lingzi on his body, and then answered Chen Xin with a wry smile: "Comrade Xiao Chen What is this you are wearing? It looks pretty good!"
"The country already has a production plan for exoskeleton protective clothing. The first batch should come out in the near future. See if you can get it." Chen Xin shrugged irresponsibly and brought the topic back to business. "You guys in the cold weather, don’t do post-disaster reconstruction in the city. Why do you come here? Come and get the vegetables you left here last month? Don’t worry, they are frozen in the warehouse for you. Just leave, that is, the items for this month are still confiscated. If you want, you have to wait for tomorrow."
"Thank you so much!" Li Tou heard Chen Xin say this, and was overjoyed.
They did come to get the vegetables, but they didn't return much hope when they came. After all, after a snowstorm, no one expected the vegetables to be kept for a month.
However, Chen Xin's side was because he put the vegetables in the warehouse before, relying on low temperature freezing, and successfully made these vegetables survive a month. Although they may be a little bit frozen, they can at least be eaten.
Knowing that the vegetables from last month were still there, Li Tou relieved himself and explained to Chen Xin why they had come: "The supply of materials in the urban area is a bit tight now. Although the reserves of food are still sufficient, from meteorites It has been almost a year since it fell. Almost half of the food stored in the shelters has been eaten. Vegetables and fruits have long been gone. The breadworms and rats that were raised before have frozen to death this time. A large number, the city government is having a headache for this!"
Although Li Tou didn't say anything serious, the information revealed still made Chen Xin feel the seriousness of it.
"Didn't the city government engage in underground planting? I saw it before when I helped them rebuild boilers. Are there not vegetables and fruits? There are fish and poultry. And where are the mushrooms grown in the 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, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the consumption of more than 200,000 survivors in the city! Moreover, the underground planting area was also severely affected by this blizzard, and many crops were severely reduced even if they did not freeze to death.
Although the mushrooms in each refuge have a certain output, they can only partially supplement food consumption. The previous blizzard destroyed most of the mushroom houses, and everything must be restarted. It is difficult to resume production in a short time. .
The government has used emergency reserves before. Now the supply of materials in the urban area is a bit tight, and it is now considering limiting the supply. "
When Chen Xin heard Li Tou say this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Just facing this problem, he has no good solutions.
He can upgrade the planting greenhouse, increase the planting area of ​​crops, and allow people to plant more crops, but crop growth takes time. Even with high-yield seeds and chemical fertilizers that can boost the output, it cannot violate the laws of nature to make seeds today. It will grow out tomorrow.
As for his own output here, it is more than enough to eat it himself, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com can still support others a little, but if you want to solve the food crisis, unless it is said that Chen Xin regenerates his planting greenhouse into a planting factory for large-scale planting, he is unlikely to solve it. this problem.
If you really want to solve this problem, you have to count on the state.
However, although the country has a large material reserve, a large amount of material was stored in a targeted manner before the disaster, but after more than a year of consumption, how much can be left is a question worth worrying about.
After all, this is not a matter of filling up your stomach today. No matter how much reserves you have, you will have one day to eat. You must consider how to supply the food rations for so many people across the country.
Although Yan Country has the largest population stock after the disaster, this has provided Yan Country with a large amount of post-disaster reconstruction labor and technical personnel, but it is also a heavy burden, which has formed a huge amount of logistics support and material production capacity of Yan Country. The test.
However, for Chen Xin, he can neither get involved nor take his turn to care. Instead of worrying about the country’s food enough to eat, it is better to consider the large-scale planting greenhouse in his plan. If this can be successful, it will not only It is a good thing to open up food production areas and provide technological accumulation for future energy tower projects.
