Chapter three hundred and twenty-one food shortage

When Chen Xin heard Han Ze say that there were lights in the distance, he was a little surprised and puzzled. The blizzard had just passed, so why did someone come to him?

However, it was unsolvable, but it did not affect Chen Xin's response. He asked his parents and the Mo sisters to return to the shelter. He also took Han Ping to close the door of the shelter. Chen Xin then came to the observation room, took the telescope handed over by Han Ze, and looked into the distance.

As Han Ze said, on the snow in the distance, a few lights were coming quickly towards the direction where Chen Xin's house was.

"So fast! What is this?" Chen Xin estimated the speed of the light approaching, but found that the thing was very fast, obviously not like a car.

Due to the snow accumulation, it is impossible for the car to move quickly on the snow, and the light looks obviously a vehicle with only one headlight, not like a car that should have two headlights.

Just when Chen Xin was confused, the vehicles represented by these lights also approached Chen Xin's shelter, stopped in front of the clearings that Chen Xin and others had just cleared out, and sent a message.

"Comrade Chen, it's me, Old Li of the Special Police Team! Please open the door!" Li's voice came from the radio, and Chen Xin felt relieved and asked Han Ping to open the door.

He himself took a closer look with a telescope in the observation room, then went down from the observation room and came to the front door.

When the door opened, Li Tou and others hurriedly got off the vehicle, and while two people were separated to look at the vehicle, the others quickly walked into Chen Xin's shelter.

After the door opened, Chen Xin finally saw clearly that the vehicle Li Tou and others rode was a snowmobile.

This vehicle was originally dedicated to snow, but it is very practical in this situation now. Especially the snowmobile riding by Li Tou and others also has a track-type car with a bucket, which looks like it is used to drag goods, which makes Chen Xin even more eye-catching.

"Snowmobile? You are so cold that you are so cold!" Chen Xin couldn't help but tease her as he looked at the ice shell on Li Tou and others who walked into the shelter, as well as the appearance of snowflakes hanging on his eyebrows.

"Who said no! But there is no way. Now that the car can't be driven out, I can only ride this one." Li Tou shook the snowflakes and Binglingzi on his body, and then replied with a wry smile to Chen Xin: "Comrade Xiao Chen, what are you wearing? It looks pretty good!"

"Exoskeleton protective clothing, the country has a production plan, and the first batch will come out soon. Let's see if you can get the score." Chen Xin shrugged undeniably and brought the topic back to the main business: "You are cold and don't do post-disaster reconstruction in the city. Why do I come here? Come and get the vegetables you left here last month? Don't worry, you have frozen them in the warehouse. Just take them away. This month's one has been confiscated. If you want it, you will probably have to wait tomorrow."

"That's really thankful!" Li Tou was overjoyed when he heard Chen Xin say this.

They did come to get vegetables, but they didn't expect that when they came, they didn't expect that vegetables could be preserved for another month after a blizzard.

However, Chen Xin successfully allowed this batch of vegetables to survive for a month because he had put the vegetables in the warehouse before and relied on low temperatures. Although they may have been a little frozen, they could at least be eaten.

Knowing that the vegetables were still there last month, Li Tou felt relieved and explained to Chen Xin why they came here: "The supply of materials in the city is a little tight now. Although the reserved food is enough, it has been almost a year since the meteorite fell. The food stored in various shelters has eaten almost half of it, and vegetables, fruits and other things have long been gone. The mealworms and mice that I raised before have frozen to death this time. The city government is having a headache about this matter!"

Although Li Tou said it seriously, the information revealed still made Chen Xin feel the seriousness of this.

"Didn't the city government do underground planting? I went to see it when I helped them transform the boiler before. Is there any vegetables or fruits there? There are also fish and poultry. And what about the mushrooms grown in various shelters?" Chen Xin frowned and asked Li Tou. Although he expected that the cold caused by the blizzard would affect the food problem, he did not think it would be so serious.

Li Tou shook his head with a sigh and explained to Chen Xin: "Although there is still a lot of output in the underground planting area, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the consumption of more than 200,000 survivors in the entire urban area! Moreover, this blizzard, the underground planting area was also seriously affected, and many crops were severely reduced even if they did not freeze to death.

Although the mushrooms in each shelter have a certain output, they can only partially supplement food consumption. The previous blizzard destroyed most of the mushroom houses, and everything had to be started again. It was difficult to resume production in a short period of time.

In addition, the city government used emergency reserves before, and the supply of materials in the city is really tight now, and now we are considering limiting the supply."

When Chen Xin heard Li Tou say this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

But when faced with this problem, he had no good idea.

It can upgrade the planting greenhouse, increase the planting area of ​​crops, and allow people to plant more crops, but crop growth takes time. Even if high-yield seeds and fertilizers can increase the yield, it cannot violate the laws of nature to allow seeds to plant today and grow tomorrow.

As for the output he has, no matter how much he eats it himself, he can support others. However, if he wants to solve the food crisis, unless Chen Xin regenerates his planting greenhouse to turn it into a planting factory for large-scale planting, it is unlikely that he will rely on him to solve this problem.

If you really want to solve this problem, you have to count on the country.

However, although the country has a large reserve of materials and has stored a large amount of materials before the disaster, after more than a year of consumption, how much can be left is a worrying question.

After all, this is not something that can be done just by filling your stomach today. No matter how much you have, you will have a day to eat. You must consider how to supply food for so many people across the country after you have finished storing food.

Although Yan State had the largest population stock after the disaster, which provided Yan State with a large number of post-disaster reconstruction labor and technical personnel, this was also a heavy burden, which posed a huge test for Yan State's logistics support capacity and material production capacity.

However, for Chen Xin, he could not get involved in this kind of thing, nor was he the turn to care about it. Instead of worrying about whether the country's food is enough, it is better to consider the large-scale planting greenhouse that he planned. If this can be successful, it can not only open up grain production areas, but also provide technical accumulation for subsequent energy tower plans. It can be said to be a good thing that can be achieved by killing multiple shots.
