Chapter 272: Above-ground greenhouse

Chen Xin did not stay here for long with Li Yulong. After chatting with him a few words, he went to the planting greenhouse and took a look. He picked a small basket of strawberries for Qin Lan and two wine bricks. Chen Xin was also with Qin Lan. Leaving Li Yulong here.
"Do you want to find Xiao Ding now?" Back in the car, Chen Xin asked Qin Lan. She had just promised to help Li Yulong walk through Ding Ning's relationship. Chen Xin thought she might want to see Ding Ning.
However, Qin Lan shook his head, washed the strawberries on the table at the Liulitai, sat down, picked up one and threw it into her mouth, and said, "This is not a hurry. The things sold by Xiaolong are to be honest. For the SWAT team It is not very necessary. Fresh fruits, jams, wine... these things are not necessities of life, and now belong to the category of luxury goods.
Even if I ask Aning to help clear the relationship with the captain, the purchase of these items in the team will not be very large. So this is not something to worry about. It doesn't matter if you go to see Aning next time. Let's go back today. "
Chen Xin didn't care when he heard Qin Lan say this, and nodded to signal Han Ping to drive back.
While Han Ping was driving back in the car, Chen Xin looked at the strawberries Qin Lan was eating on the table, and suddenly laughed, with a strange expression on his face.
Seeing the expression on Chen Xin's face, Qin Lan asked curiously: "What's the matter? What funny things do you think of?"
"No, it's just a bit ironic. Now most people should still have enough food and clothing for three meals, but we can eat fresh fruits like before. This is really..." Chen Xin couldn't think of anything more appropriate. 'S adjective, can only helplessly shook his head.
If it were before the disaster, although Chen Xin’s family would not be poor, it was not a rich family either. He never thought that one day he would live a better life than most.
"What do you mean by this? Axin, even if you worry about the country and the people, you don't feel that you need to lower your living standards and share the joys and sorrows with others?" Qin Lan picked up a strawberry and put it directly in. In his own mouth.
Chen Xin nodded, affirmed Qin Lan's words, and then explained: "I was thinking about the plantation that I discussed with Xiaolong before. If possible, build a large-scale greenhouse plantation to get a lot of food and other things. The output of crops is the way to improve the current living conditions of other people."
"That's right, you should be able to do this, so how do you want to start? Do it yourself or cooperate with the country?" Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin and felt that he had a lot of ideas today.
Chen Xin naturally noticed Qin Lan's thoughts, and smiled and explained: "I haven't come to the point where one comes out, so let's go back and draw up a plan before considering how to do it, but now I have a general idea. ."
"Oh? Can you tell me something?" Qin Lan suddenly became interested and wanted to hear Chen Xin elaborate.
Chen Xin nodded, and also reached out to pick up a strawberry and put it in his mouth. Then he said: "I plan to complete the previous commission of miniaturized isotope thermoelectric batteries to lay the foundation for the development of power armor and exoskeleton protective clothing. Complete exoskeleton protective clothing that can be used for civilian use, and then consider building a large-scale planting greenhouse."
"It really is your style, a gradual plan." Qin Lan was not surprised by this. Although Chen Xin sometimes has a lot of ideas, he never let all the ideas come together, but will have a plan to make things happen. Come one by one.
However, Qin Lan still asked curiously: "I can understand how you develop miniaturized batteries first, but why do you not develop power armors, but make civilian exoskeleton protective clothing first? This is the same as your establishment of large-scale planting greenhouses. Is there any connection between them?"
To this question, Chen Xin gave a very positive answer: "Yes."
Seeing Chen Xin's words, Qin Lan didn't ask him to answer right away. Instead, she went through her mind and thought for a while before she said: "The biggest role of exoskeleton protective clothing is to resist the harm of harsh environment and low temperature to the human body.
Taking the "Wandering Earth" movie as a reference, it should be able to provide oxygen to ensure that users can perform heavy physical labor in an environment where the oxygen content is not as good as before.
In addition, the exoskeleton itself is a power-assisted machine, which can increase the user's own strength, lift heavier things, and make labor more efficient.
So Axin, you have to develop exoskeleton protective clothing first to allow people to move and work freely in the outside world, right? Do you plan to build a large planting greenhouse on the surface? "
"Yeah, that's right." Chen Xin nodded, and then explained: "The underground space is limited. Now most of the underground space is used for living. If you want to grow crops on a large scale, there is no place and the cost is too high. If a large-scale planting greenhouse is built on the ground, the planting area and cost will be relatively small."
"Furthermore, according to forecasts, the dust will fall in the next few years and the sun will gradually recover. The use of supplementary lights can be reduced accordingly, saving operating costs. It is indeed much better to build on the surface than underground." Qin Lan contacted her recently through Chen Xin After obtaining the information, he nodded clearly.
"That's right~EbookFREE.me~ This is the case. And I am afraid that this matter will start as soon as possible, because although the country’s reserves of grain can support a few years, there will be a crisis of food shortage in the future, so we should restore food as soon as possible. Production is also a very important thing for the country." Chen Xin is still very worried about the future food problem. Although he is not worried about this, it is a very important thing for the country.
"How much effect can the greenhouse alone play?" Qin Lan certainly understands what Chen Xin is worried about, but she does not have much confidence in how much food the greenhouse can grow and whether it can meet future food needs.
However, Chen Xin only replied very seriously: "It is only one to save one. Now if you have a variety of rice, you will be able to feed one more person in the future. It is better than nothing."
Speaking of this, Chen Xin seemed to feel that it was a bit impractical to say this, and added to Qin Lan: "And I just solved the difficulty of building large-scale planting greenhouses, and really promoted large-scale ground-based planting greenhouses. , I’m just doing what I can."
"This is already very good. If everyone can do what they can do well, it will be enough to change the world." Qin Lan smiled at Chen Xin and stretched out a hand to pinch his face.
