After eating his first meal after the harvest, which was also his first official meal after arriving at the shelter, Chen Xin patted his bulging belly and felt sincerely satisfied.
It has been a long time since the apocalypse to have a bloated stomach. After all, having food and being able to eat until a bloated stomach is completely different.
The former is considered half full, the latter is considered full, and the difference in food consumption between the two is also very large. The latter is 1.5, and the difference can even be enough to eat another meal.
So Chen Xin did feel very satisfied and very happy.
After eating and drinking enough, Chen Xin did not turn on the game console today, but planned to play games on his laptop for a while before continuing to ponder the drawings of the dryer.
If you use a laptop, you can start working directly after playing the game. You don't have to turn off the TV and game console, which saves time.
Just turning on the computer, Chen Xin accidentally clicked on a shelter game.
This is a very simple pixel style side-scrolling game. The main plot of the game is that after a family encounters a nuclear war, they build an underground shelter to escape the apocalypse.
This game should have been downloaded by Chen Xin a long time ago. Because the game is not big, he has always forgotten to delete it and left it on the desktop of his computer.
In this game, players need to control the game character to go deep into the urban wasteland to collect supplies, expand their shelter, and finally collect parts to repair the car to escape the apocalypse.
During the game, the game characters will encounter various crises and difficulties. Some encounter enemies, some encounter excessive radiation, some become sick or hungry due to lack of water and food, and some even suffer from psychological problems due to shooting and killing. …
Players need to deal with these things one by one to keep the shelter running and the game characters to survive until they repair the car and escape the doomsday.
But while Chen Xin was playing around, he discovered a fundamental problem that made him want to laugh.
Because he himself is in the apocalypse, and because he feels particularly emotional when playing this game? Chen Xin has encountered some of the various problems encountered in the game, and some has not? I won’t talk about it, but the game The protagonist has been relying on collecting food from abandoned cities to survive? This is something Chen Xin cannot accept.
This is perhaps the biggest gap between Eastern civilization and Western civilization? Westerners always think about plundering resources for development, while Easterners think more about farming.
For a Yanguo person, if we encounter the end of the world and the environment stabilizes, we will want to plant something if we have the conditions. Even if we just get a flower pot to plant a tomato plant or something, we have to plant something.
Therefore, this resulted in two different modes of thinking, and also caused the survival strategy adopted by Chen Xin to be completely different from that in the game.
Of course, maybe this is because he has a system? He has a plug-in? He has the conditions to grow the ground. If Chen Xin, like other shelters, does not have the conditions to set up a greenhouse, then he will indeed not be able to plant the ground.
However, the thought pattern of wanting to farm is deeply ingrained, and as long as there are conditions, I will still find ways to grow something.
Because in the eyes of Yanguo people, relying on the heaven and the earth and relying on your parents is not as good as relying on yourself.
If you expect to obtain supplies from abandoned cities, how can you have the stability of growing your own land? Grow your own food and eat it yourself? If you have too much, you can exchange it with others. Isn’t this development model delicious
And there is no need to take risks to collect supplies in the ruins of the city? Isn’t the safety greatly improved
If you can farm safely, you will have food, so why risk your life by going out and fighting with others just to grab a little food
If there are really no conditions, there is nothing we can do. But if there are conditions, Chen Xin feels that no one would like to risk their lives to find food instead of farming safely.
Perhaps this is the difference in thinking between the people of Yan country and other countries. The thinking mode of Western countries towards the end of the world is somewhat similar to the beasts in the dark forest. Everyone is careful to hide themselves, be wary of others, and struggle to get some food. If they are Others discovered that it was a fight, and the loser became the prey of the winner.
But for the people of Yan country, they prefer to work together to cultivate land and build homes, uniting and becoming stronger to make themselves better off.
It is precisely because of this deep-rooted idea, and because Chen Xin himself has enough conditions to realize all this, that he is particularly concerned about his planting greenhouse. Not only does he grow upland rice and vegetables for food, but he also exchanges them with Li Wensheng I bought aquaponics equipment and plan to engage in aquaponics in my own greenhouse and raise some fish to enrich my recipes.
However, although Li Wensheng sent the aquaponics equipment, Chen Xin did not start raising fish immediately. On the one hand, the equipment was not installed and Chen Xin had no place to raise fish. On the other hand, Li Wensheng had not yet sent the live fish.
In addition, Chen Xin has been busy harvesting rice these two days, so he has left behind the installation of aquaponics equipment.
Now after harvesting all the rice and eating the rice cooked by the new rice, Chen Xin naturally remembered this matter.
Chen Xin’s original idea for aquaponics equipment was to integrate it into a greenhouse and combine it with hydroponic cultivation, so that he could grow vegetables while raising fish.
This is not difficult to achieve. Aquaponics is developed and designed for hydroponic cultivation. If Chen Xin wants to integrate aquaponics equipment, there will be no conflict or inappropriateness.
It's just that the aquaponics equipment Li Wensheng sent is not large. According to what he said, this equipment is a small equipment for home use. The designed maintenance area of a set of equipment is thirty square meters of hydroponic planting area and three cubic meters of breeding area. Water body.
In terms of consumption for a family, this amount is certainly enough for 3-5 people, but for Chen Xin's cultivation greenhouse, a set of equipment cannot even cover one-fifth of the area.
Therefore, if Chen Xin wants to transform the hydroponic planting system in his greenhouse into an aquaponics system, he must either install a few more sets of equipment, or use these equipment as upgrade materials to upgrade the entire greenhouse again.
However, the survival points required to upgrade the planting greenhouse again are three times as much as when upgrading the planting greenhouse before, and more importantly, Chen Xin does not have enough materials on hand now. If he only provides aquaponics equipment, he can only reduce the upgrade by 10%. Survival points are consumed.
Fortunately, the water tank for the hydroponic planting trays in his greenhouse is a separate tank instead of an integrated large tank. He can first connect part of the hydroponic planting trays to the aquaponics system.
Anyway, he only exchanged ten live fish from Li Wensheng, so he wouldn't need a large volume of breeding water for a while. (End of chapter)
