"I've eaten enough. Don't worry. It's just me and Xiaoxin. It will be enough for another three to five years." Mo Qingyan put on a confident look and acted very optimistic: "Three to five years." After the year, the country will definitely start to resume production, and even if we still have to live underground, eating will definitely not be a problem. "
Regarding Mo Qingyan's optimism, Chen Xin saw her guilty conscience, but friends should not force others to accept your kindness, so Chen Xin did not continue to ask, but said to Mo Qingyan: "Since Long Niang You have said so, so I won’t force you. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me. Besides, you... "
Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, but still said to Mo Qingyan: "Although Long Niang, your reserves are definitely enough for you, this is the end of the world after all, and no one knows what will happen in the future. I suggest you build a greenhouse. Having a certain amount of self-sustainability will allow you to persist longer and improve your life.”
Mo Qingyan had considered Chen Xin's proposal before. After all, no matter how much food was stored, it would be eaten up one day, and one had to make plans for when the food reserves were gone.
"Your suggestion for ingredients is very good, but the problem is that I really don't have the conditions to build a greenhouse! I told A Lan before that I wanted to grow mushrooms, but she later found someone to help me and said that it was not suitable for renovation, so I won’t do it anymore.” Of course Mo Qingyan knew what she should plant, but she really didn’t have the conditions to grow mushrooms.
Although Mo Qingyan's shelter has good thermal insulation and can also turn on the air conditioner to ensure that the temperature in the shelter is not too low, the conditions for growing mushrooms are indeed lacking.
"Can't you grow mushrooms? This..." Chen Xin frowned and thought for a while, then said to Mo Qingyan: "Since you can't grow mushrooms, Long Niang, you should learn how to grow hydroponics like me."
At this point, Chen Xin went through the thoughts in his mind, and explained his thoughts to Mo Qingyan with a little excitement: "I will help Long Niang install a set of ground source heat pump equipment, and then use this equipment to Then add an aquaponic hydroponic planting system and a waste heat recovery power generation device.
In this way, you can obtain energy through the ground source heat pump, which can generate electricity and heat, maintain the operation of the entire system, and at the same time continuously produce food for you. "
"Is this really okay?" Mo Qingyan couldn't help but be tempted when she heard Chen Xin's description.
The system Chen Xin mentioned is indeed wonderful, because it can generate electricity, heat, and produce food. It can be said that with such a system, Mo Qingyan's shelter can solve at least two problems: heating and eating. There is no need to worry about it.
Facing Mo Qingyan's tempting question, Chen Xin nodded affirmatively: "The ground source heat pump device can achieve an energy efficiency ratio of 4. Recycling part of the energy to generate electricity is enough to drive it to operate on its own, and at the same time it also has Sufficient heat output.
As for hydroponic cultivation of aquaponics, as long as the temperature is ensured, this is still easy to do. I plan to buy a set of such equipment myself, so don’t worry, Long Niang. "
"In that case..." Mo Qingyan nodded, as if she was persuaded by Chen Xin: "Let me think about it, after all, this is a big project, and you don't even have a set of equipment for the ingredients, right?"
Regarding Mo Qingyan's question, Chen Xin just smiled and said, "If necessary, the equipment will be ready at any time."
"Okay, let me think about it and give you an answer later." Mo Qingyan still did not agree directly.
Chen Xin just nodded and said nothing more.

After returning to his shelter, Chen Xin contacted Qin Lan and asked her to exchange for supplies including drill bits and compressors.
"A Xin, why do you want these things?" Qin Lan heard what Chen Xin wanted and did not immediately agree. Instead, she asked him what he wanted: "Our SWAT team doesn't have the things you want in stock. I'm afraid we have to collect them." I can get it for you."
"I plan to use these things to assemble a ground source heat pump myself to heat my shelter." Chen Xin did not hide anything from Qin Lan about this.
Hearing Chen Xin say that he wanted to assemble a ground source heat pump by himself, Qin Lan was a little confused. Only after Chen Xin's patient explanation did he understand what was going on.
"So that's it. I'll ask the captain later. Apart from the drill bits, many of the things you want are hard to get now." Qin Lan didn't dare to guarantee that he could help Chen Xin get the things. .
Although basically all the things Chen Xin wants are available in an air conditioner, and they were easily available before the apocalypse, it would be difficult to get them in the apocalypse.
Although the country is restarting its industry, it is obvious that all production capacity is given priority to the places that need it most. The first to resume production must be basic industrial facilities, such as compressors and evaporators that Chen Xin wants, even if they are now It is produced and used in large-scale industries.
Can I put it another way? When these things are produced, they will be sent directly to the factory that resumes production, rather than sold to individuals.
So if you want to get these things, even the SWAT team can only collect them bit by bit.
After ending the call with Chen Xin, Qin Lan naturally informed Uncle Ding of the news immediately.
"Political commissar, what do you think?" Uncle Ding looked at the political commissar. They happened to be talking about something when Qin Lan came.
For matters that require decision-making and judgment, Uncle Ding has always been accustomed to asking the political commissar's opinion first.
"I also know something about this kind of ground source heat pump equipment. It seems that during the 13th Five-Year Plan before the disaster, the city was going to launch three heating projects using this technology, but the meteorite fell before they were completed." The political commissar said. He knew something about this kind of technology and equipment, so he thought for a while and replied: "If Comrade Chen Xin can really transform this kind of thing by himself, I think we can help, and we can also replace some equipment by the way."
After listening to the political commissar's opinion, Uncle Ding naturally understood what the old man meant: "Political commissar, you mean we also use this?"
"A snowstorm can drop the temperature by 30 degrees. I'm afraid the temperature will be even lower in the future. Although there is still power in the city and boilers in the shelters, coal is completely transported from outside. What if the railway transportation is interrupted? There must be some It's a backup method." The political commissar looked at Uncle Ding and said with burning eyes.
After listening to the political commissar's suggestion, Uncle Ding nodded and said to Qin Lan: "In that case, Xiao Qin, tell Lao Li and let him take people out to collect materials." (End of Chapter)
