The success of the experint finally allowed Chen Xin to relax and take a break temporarily.
Although there was still a lot of work to do, giving himself half a day’s vacation to have a good rest was still possible.
It’s just that he was currently in Lucia, staying at a base from the Soviet era. Even though it had been upgraded and remodeled before, so of the interior still had a strong Soviet flavor, making it not very comfortable to live in, and lacking entertainnt facilities.
Of course, for Chen Xin, even giving himself half a day off didn’t an he could really go out and have fun.
When he was at his own ho shelter, during his leisure ti, Chen Xin would play gas, chat with Mo Qingyan and Qin Lan, or accompany his parents.
But in a place like the forr Soviet base in Lucia, the only way for Chen Xin to spend a rare free afternoon was to take a stroll in the greenhouse.
This greenhouse was converted from an existing warehouse in the base, using Fla Country’s latest modular eco-capsule planting technology. The pre-assembled greenhouse capsules were transported here from the holand and directly assembled for use, instead of converting a warehouse into a greenhouse.
This technology does not fall within the scope of Fla Country’s aid to Lucia. Although exporting a few capsules was not a big deal, the technical support provided by Fla Country to Lucia still focused on helping them build permanent greenhouses, not these removable capsule greenhouses.
This decision was not made by Chen Xin, but was a decision from the dostic side, so Chen Xin did not bother to delve into the reasons, knowing that having one for their own use was all that mattered.
A single capsule greenhouse is not very large, only about the size of a traditional shipping container, but when several containers are connected together, the capsule greenhouse becos quite large.
Inside, there were a large variety of fresh vegetables, as well as fruits and staple crops. While the yield wasn’t abundant, it was enough to sustain the consumption of the people in the base.
The main reason Chen Xin ca here was to get so fresh vegetables and fruits, so he could cook sothing himself.
For Chen Xin, spending ti on culinary arts is always the best way to relax and unwind.
Each container in the container-style capsule greenhouse is an independent unit. They can exist independently, running autonomously for a long ti under the power from the Isotope Battery, relying on eco-technology. Other than necessary managent, they require little maintenance.
Originally, this was a capsule planting technology used by the military, developed to provide vegetables and fruits for outposts in remote, adverse environnts like plateaus and snowy mountains.
With the support from various black technologies Chen Xin acquired through the system, this technology also evolved into the current container-style greenhouse, which is easier to maintain, with higher yields, and more varieties than before.
Although each greenhouse is an independent unit, the design initially considered the use of multiple containers together, so each container greenhouse was pre-designed with connecting passages.
There are even staircases set up inside the containers, allowing two containers to be stacked for use, greatly saving space.
Chen Xin was very fond of this kind of container greenhouse. If he had this technology before the disaster, he would have definitely built one for himself when constructing his own shelter.
In fact, after this technology was ford, it was vigorously promoted dostically.
Apart from the fact that it’s not very convenient to use this technology in so existing shelters, many rebuilt shelters after the Southwest Region earthquake adopted this technology.
This container-style greenhouse is integrally ford, structurally solid, with special seismic resistance designed internally, it can withstand earthquakes above magnitude seven. In addition to providing vegetables, fruits, and grains for shelters, it can also be used as a safe space to avoid earthquakes.
This design choice was largely influenced by the many issues exposed by the previous major earthquake in the Southwest Region.
Shelters are supposed to resist disasters, serving as ergency refuges for civilians during disasters. However, the assault from the earthquake turned the originally sheltering function of the shelter into a risk, which was undoubtedly difficult to accept.
So during the reconstruction process, besides enhancing the shockproof capabilities of each shelter, specially reinforced and stabilized safety points were designed for ergency refuge within the shelters during disasters.
The choice of planting greenhouses was mostly due to the consideration of food supply issues.
After all, being buried in the ruins is not the scariest thing. As long as there is so space and one isn’t completely trapped, one can manage to survive with food and water until rescue arrives.
Therefore, greenhouses capable of providing food and potentially water beca a great choice.
Especially since the container greenhouses have independent power systems, and the plants inside provide essential oxygen through photosynthesis.
Of course, despite the many benefits, nobody genuinely hopes to ever have to use these features—to this day, the biggest function of these container greenhouses is still producing crops.
Chen Xin walked through a container greenhouse, went to the bottom, climbed the stairs leading to the upper container, and gazed at the plentiful vegetables and fruits inside these container greenhouses, feeling a sense of happiness welling up within him.
Here, one could basically find most of the common vegetables from before the disaster. There are also a small number of easily grown and harvested fruits. In this post-apocalyptic setting, the sense of security and happiness brought by owning such a container greenhouse is incomparable to even owning an entire estate before the disaster.
Being well-fed has always been humanity’s most pressing need, and eating well is always the top pursuit.
Chen Xin picked so vegetables and fruits and put them in a basket. Although there was no at, these vegetables and fruits were enough for him to showcase his skills and make a sumptuous al.
As Chen Xin carried the vegetables and fruits on his way back, he suddenly recalled the caviar he saw at a banquet held by the people of Lucia.
In fact, in a certain sense, these vegetables and fruits are more luxurious than caviar. After all, maintaining a few fish versus maintaining a greenhouse that can consistently produce vegetables and fruits—it’s really hard to say which is more extravagant.
Chen Xin touched his nose, cast aside these unnecessary thoughts, and reached into the basket to grab a fresh tomato, taking a bite straight out of it.
The sweet and sour juice perated his mouth, bringing forth a reassuring satisfaction.
