Chapter 251

After a night's rest, Chen Xin, his parents and his cousin, who is in charge of driving, return to the refuge in the village.

Back in the shelter, naturally, there was a lot of concern. After Chen Xin dealt with it, she found her second aunt and told her that she wanted to take some chicks back.

"It's easy to say, but Xin, can you take the chicken back? It's so cold now, it's easy for chickens to freeze to death! " The second aunt expressed her worry and took Chen Xin to the chicken farm in the shelter.

The second aunt opened the door of the chicken farm, and a different heat gushed out from the slightly cold air in the shelter, which made Chen Xin's eyes turn sideways.

This chicken farm is transformed from an ordinary room. There are about seven or eight hens and one rooster in it. A chicken nest is built with bricks and asbestos tiles in the corner, and an electric heater is placed on the other side.

This is the first heater Chen Xin saw after he came to the shelter.

"All the chickens are here. It's OK for you to take the chickens back to raise them. It's OK to give you two hens. But on such a cold day, I'm afraid your chickens will freeze to death if you can't take them back." The second aunt opened the baffle at the door of the chicken farm and went into the chicken farm. While touching the eggs in the chicken nest, she complained to Chen Xinban: "now the chicken is better than others. People don't have a fire. Instead, the chicken has to make the nest warm for it so as not to lay eggs! What kind of world do you think this is

Listen to his second aunt's words, Chen Xin also can only follow a smile, did not say much.

Now what is the world, everyone knows, the second aunt is just a few complaints, do not need Chen Xin to answer her words.

However, Chen Xin was quite sure whether he could bring the chicks back. He replied positively to the second aunt, "I don't want to hatch the chicks either. Second aunt, you can just give me some eggs that can hatch the chicks. I'll take the eggs back and hatch the chicks when I get back. I have heating equipment there, the temperature is not low, there is no problem raising chickens. "

"That's very good. It's good to raise a few chickens. I can eat two eggs every day." The second aunt heard that Chen Xin had conditions to raise chickens, so she didn't say much. She just asked him, "how many eggs do you want, ah Xin? Why don't you bring an extra hen? Otherwise, it's not easy to raise a chicken without a hen

"It should be enough to hatch three or five chicks' eggs, mainly male and female, which will be better." Chen Xin put forward his own requirements.

"Then I'll choose ten eggs and a hen for you. Go back and build a nest. Keep warm so that the hens can almost hatch." The second aunt nodded, put the eggs in a basket, gave them to Chen Xin, and cleaned up the chicken manure on the chicken farm again. Then she took Chen Xin away from the chicken farm.

Together with the second aunt, Chen Xin sent the harvested eggs to the storeroom. Looking at the small storeroom, he could not help frowning: "second aunt, there are not many things here! Is that all you have here? "

"Quite a few! Other villages around us are not as good as us. " The second aunt said with great emotion, but also affirmed Chen Xin's statement: "the food delivered in the town every week is only enough for one week. We can have this kind of food in stock only by the chickens in the greenhouse and chicken farm that you told us to build. They can get a lot of vegetables and eggs every month.

In other villages, life is much more difficult than ours. They can only live on the food sent by the town every week. If the town does not send the food in time, they will starve, or even starve to death. "

The second aunt's words made Chen Xin feel palpitation and starve to death, which is already the memory of the previous generation in Yan state.

Yanguo is a traditional farming civilization country. It has always been very dependent on the land to maintain the lives of the people. Even in the modern era with advanced science and technology, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters can still affect the farmers' harvest and life to a great extent.

In fact, before the large-scale promotion of hybrid rice in Yanguo, the grain yield of Yanguo has always been unable to meet the needs of the people, and the per capita cultivated area of Yanguo is also quite low in the world.

This is also why, in the memory of the previous generation, the national famine was caused at the beginning of the war.

If it wasn't for yuan dadrui's hybrid rice and the efforts of the majority of agricultural scientific research workers, Yanguo's grain yield would have been able to achieve growth even though the cultivated land area was decreasing year by year, Yanguo would have faced the food crisis for a long time.

In fact, it was only after entering the 21st century that Yanguo realized the transformation from not having enough to having enough.

However, with the arrival of the doomsday disaster caused by the meteorite impact, the food crisis has actually come to the people of Yan country.

The disaster caused by the meteorite impact is in all aspects, and the most direct impact is that the cultivated land of the whole country has been destroyed.

Before the disaster, Yanguo's national grain reserves were enough for the whole nation to eat for three years, but there was no output. Even if these grains can be eaten for ten years, they will be eaten up one day.

Before the disaster, thanks to the efforts of the state, 80% of the population of Yanguo survived. These populations provided abundant labor for the post disaster reconstruction of Yanguo, but also brought enormous pressure on logistics, especially food supply.Before the disaster, Yanguo's grain output has reached 650 million tons per year, and the per capita grain share is about 470 kg. So much food can meet the consumption of Yanguo people, which is why Yanguo people have changed from insufficient food to full food before the disaster.

But now the 650 million tons of annual grain production has been completely turned into fly ash, and all the cultivated land in the country has been destroyed in the disaster caused by the meteorite impact. Limited by the current climate and environment, it can no longer be cultivated.

At present, the main food source of Yanguo is the limited food produced by the greenhouses of various refuges and special planting areas, which can meet part of the needs and consumption, but absolutely can not meet the needs of nearly one billion survivors in the country.

In short, if the country can't solve the problem of food supply and demand before the grain reserves are consumed, a considerable number of survivors will starve to death in two to three years.

For Chen Xin, he certainly can't influence the whole country and let the people of the whole country have enough to eat, but he can still make his relatives at least have enough to eat in this apocalyptic disaster.

As for the key to achieve this, naturally, it depends on the system to upgrade the refuge.

However, upgrading can not be said to be a survival without any planning, which is easy to cause all kinds of problems. Even if we want to upgrade this refuge, Chen Xin must also consider the actual needs of his relatives.

When Chen Xin finds his second uncle, he plans to ask him what are the current problems and what are the most urgent needs of this refuge in the village, and then consider the priority of upgrading.

"What are the problems and needs of the village now?" After listening to Chen Xin's question, the second uncle touched his chin and thought for a while, and then replied, "the question is nothing more than clothing, food, housing and transportation. Now we don't need to go out on such a cold day. The only thing we need to consider when living in a shelter is heating.

As for the rest of the food and clothing, it's not a big problem. With the supplies sent by the town every week, plus the greenhouse in the shelter and the chickens raised by your second aunt, we can still guarantee that we will have enough to eat. "

Chen Xin nodded and said summarily, "in other words, the most urgent need in the village is heating?"

"It can be said that the weather is getting colder and colder. Everyone is doing things and activities during the day, but it's hard to sleep at night." The second uncle showed his worry and said to Chen Xin helplessly, "now the shelter is heated by a generator, but the generator depends on a little gasoline sent by the town every month. If the next time the town doesn't send enough gasoline or doesn't send it at all, we won't be able to survive."

When Chen Xin finished listening, he immediately understood.

Sure enough, even in different places, the demand is mostly the same.

"Let me try to solve these problems for the village." Chen Xinchong's second uncle made a promise, but also put forward some requirements: "I can help the village shelter do some transformation, but may need some materials, so please ask the second uncle you to ask for or change in the town."

"Upgrading? Xin, can you really do it? What can that transform? " Second uncle heard Chen Xin say so, immediately showed concern.

"There are many things that can be changed, but the first thing is to solve the problem of power supply. I first remove a battery from my car and connect it to the circuit of the shelter. In this way, the problem of power supply can be solved for the time being, and then I will carry out some transformation to make the power self-sufficient. " Chen Xin expounded his own ideas and explained them to his second uncle.

After listening to Chen Xin's idea, the second uncle showed a happy expression on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead stretched out a lot: "if we can really solve the problem of power supply, it will be a great help! When the shelter was built, we listened to a Xin's suggestion and installed a heating system, but unfortunately, the electricity has not been able to keep up, and now we dare not open that thing. "

"Is there a heating system in the shelter?" Chen Xin can't help picking eyebrows, but suddenly.

Obviously, many problems were taken into consideration when the country built the shelter, and Chen Xin also reminded them of a lot of precautions about building the shelter at the beginning. There must be a solution to the problem of heating.

It's just that the shortage of energy makes the heating system a decoration.

So first solve the problem of power supply, so that the heater can be turned on! Chen Xin made up his mind.
