After entertaining Mo Qingyan and Ding Ning for a meal at his shelter, Chen Xin sent them away.
After the two left, Chen Xin's shelter became quiet again.
After powering on the freezer and debugging it to make sure it started working, Chen Xin put the previously harvested vegetables in and refrigerated them at low temperatures to ensure that the vegetables would not spoil.
In addition to vegetables, Chen Xin also put the canned lunch meat and canned pork exchanged from Mo Qingyan in the storage room. Instead, he moved the box of wine to his bedroom, opened a bottle and put it on the bedside table. After that, the rest were stuffed under the bed.
Although he doesn't usually drink alcohol, in this apocalyptic world, having a drink before going to bed can actually soothe his nerves and help him sleep more soundly. That's why Chen Xin specially asked Mo Qingyan to change it this time. Box of wine.
And more importantly, these things will become extremely rare as the end of the world comes. After all, wine requires food. When people are not full, there will be no extra food to use for wine.
These wines from before the end of the world will also become rare and valuable resources, and will become more valuable the longer the end of the world lasts.
However, Chen Xin has no idea of hoarding wine as supplies. On the one hand, he has the system in hand and as long as he continues to upgrade the shelter, it is not difficult to make wine after the cultivation greenhouse has sufficient output. It does not require Go out of your way to stock up.
On the other hand, it will take a long time to wait until the wine becomes valuable, and such a long time is enough for Chen Xin to have the ability to make wine, and to expand the greenhouse so that the food production can support him to make wine.
Of course, some of the collection of treasures in Mo Qingyan's wine cellar are still very attractive to Chen Xin. Maybe he can exchange them for some good wine from her in the future
This thought came to Chen Xin's mind, and he couldn't help but think about this matter, but he didn't think much about it. This matter was not something that needed to be rushed for a while.
Among the supplies exchanged from Mo Qingyan today, the one that Chen Xin really thought he should stock up on was canned pork.
When the apocalypse comes, humanity's original food output has basically been wiped out, and the raising of poultry and livestock will naturally be out of the question. Meat resources will become very rare, even more so than wine to some extent.
After all, wine can be brewed by growing food in a greenhouse, but pork, beef...
Even if the country has built underground breeding farms before the end of the world, these things are destined to only become luxuries on the tables of a very small number of people, and will not flow into ordinary shelters, like things that everyone can enjoy before the end of the world.
Although the country did make a plan before the apocalypse on how the shelters should obtain food after the apocalypse, the taste of mushrooms and mouse meat... no one would think that these things are the same as pork and beef.
Of course, with these, maybe we can look forward to the taste of artificial meat
After all, if there is demand, there will be a market. Artificial meat may become popular in the near future. Improvements in taste to make it taste more like meat should become a necessity.
However, for Chen Xin, this allows him to look forward to whether the greenhouse will have the function of animal breeding after it is upgraded.
If the function of animal breeding can be obtained, then perhaps Chen Xin can obtain a stable source of meat.
Although people will not die if they do not eat meat, malnutrition is not the state of survival in the apocalypse. Ingesting animal protein from meat is a necessary factor to maintain human health and balanced nutrition.
Although it is no longer easy to fill your stomach in the apocalypse, being able to eat well while being full can obviously greatly improve the quality of people's survival in the apocalypse.
But there is one problem here that still bothers Chen Xin a little, and that is where to find the mother body of the animal.
System upgrades may allow the shelter to have the ability to raise animals, but Chen Xin's system function is only upgrade. He is not sure whether after upgrading the shelter to gain the ability to raise animals, it will be able to randomly add a few live animals.
If he had to do it himself, it would be really difficult to see live animals in this environment.
But maybe there will be animals in the big shelter? Among other things, these two creatures, rats and earthworms, are two of the three important food sources prepared by the country for the apocalypse. Together with mushrooms, the plan is to provide precious rations for human survival in the apocalypse.
Just eating rats and earthworms... This made Chen Xin, who had not yet entered the state of eating whatever he could in the apocalypse, feel a little uncomfortable.
Although rat meat is actually a kind of meat that is a bit curious before the end of the world, it can be regarded as a serious ingredient. As long as the hygienic environment can be controlled, rat meat can indeed be regarded as a good source of animal protein in the end of the world. .
As for earthworms, no one really eats them before the end of the world. However, in "The Wandering Earth", the earth is frozen and after humans enter underground life, the main source of food is edible earthworms. However, the concept of making earthworms edible has been popular among people. understood.
The current environment of Blue Star is quite different from the environment in "The Wandering Earth". After all, the environmental problems faced by everyone are similar, but the current situation of Blue Star is not as extreme as that of "The Wandering Earth". And humans today do not yet live in underground cities thousands of meters deep beneath planetary engines.
These gaps are of course caused by the technological generation gap between movies and reality. After all, for real humans, digging a hole thousands of meters deep is almost the same, but if you want to dig a underground city thousands of meters deep, …
This has exceeded the limit of what human beings can currently do with technology, and humans don't really need to dig a hole that deep.
In "The Wandering Earth", a dungeon is dug so deep because of actual needs. In reality, humans want to avoid the extreme cold in the apocalyptic weather. Even if they dig deep enough, it is a good idea to use the ground temperature to keep warm. However, existing technology still limits us from doing this, and it is really unnecessary.
Although mankind's current technology can build underground cities, for example, the city of Montreal in Maple Leaf Kingdom has an underground city that is 17 kilometers long. It was only built in the middle of the 20th century, more than half a century ago.
But the depth of this underground city is only the depth of underground buildings under normal circumstances, which is equivalent to the depth of current underground pedestrian passages or pedestrian streets. It is not exaggerated to the depth of five thousand meters below the surface in "The Wandering Earth" .
In fact, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for humans to carry out construction at this depth.
And although Montreal's underground cities are not deep, they can withstand the long winter that lasts for four to five months every year and is more than 30 degrees below zero. (End of chapter)
