Chapter 495: 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!"
