Chapter 390: Recovering Liaonan 5

Greenhouse cultivation technology has been around in China for a long time. It is said that as early as the Han Dynasty, China had the technology to grow vegetables such as onions and leeks in winter. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family members of the Tang Dynasty could more commonly enjoy the out-of-season vegetables grown in greenhouses.

In later China, because of the development of the petrochemical industry, the use of plastic film as a building material for greenhouse cultivation is very common in northern China. Vegetable greenhouses made of cheap plastic film and skeletons made of wood or wire are very common in the Tohoku region.

By 1630, however, the chemical industry of the Baath Party had just reached the level where it could barely industrialize the production of three acids and two bases, the manufacture of synthetic ammonia, and the production of chemical fertilizers and medicines. Although the Baath Party's chemical technicians have accumulated a lot of experience and achieved a lot of results in chemical and pharmaceutical fields, the progress of the Baath Party's chemical sector in petroleum smelting is still very slow.

At the present stage, although the experimental exploitation of the Hanjiang oil field has already begun, and the railway from Jingzhou to Wuhan has been built near Qianjiang County, the corresponding industrial technology of petroleum smelting has not yet been thoroughly mastered by the Baath Party.

Moreover, with Wang Shuhui presiding over the work in the southern Liaoning base area, the Baath Party's promotion of the petroleum smelting industry began to slow down significantly.

That is to say, for a long time, the Baath Party could not count on cheap plastic film to build vegetable greenhouses.

However, this is not to say that the Baath Party has no way to carry out greenhouse cultivation. The Ludong No. 1 to No. 3 glass factories, which have been completed and put into operation, can now provide a steady stream of flat glass for the Baath Party. These plate glasses, which were completely luxury in this era, were being transported in large quantities by the transport fleet from Dengzhou to Lushun.

Because the Baath Party invested a lot of manpower and machinery, and put into operation several experimental icebreakers that had just left the factory in Dengzhou and Lushun areas, the sea between Dengzhou and Lushun was still smooth even in the winter when the Bohai coast was generally frozen.

It was very hard to carry out construction work in the case of minus ten or twenty degrees.

Even if the Baath Party used the more than 600 captured and still increasing Mongols as free labor, on the one hand, these hundreds of people were nothing in the huge industrial construction, and on the other hand, it was impossible for the Baath Party to wantonly abuse them, so the Baath Party itself had to go into battle shirtless in the industrial construction work in the southern Liaoning base area in winter.

That is to say, in addition to the production and construction troops who have been continuously recruited and trained in the Ludong base area, which has been continuously landing in Lushun, the Baath Party soldiers of the Renaissance Army in the Lushun and Jinzhou areas must not only carry out the necessary military tasks, but also support the industrial construction of the southern Liaoning base area.

In this case, Wang Shuhui's continuous supply of rice and white noodles through the time and space gate is good, but participating in labor in the long winter is a very spiritually draining thing. It is certainly not enough to just give the fighters those canned meat and vegetables.

In order to enrich the diet of the soldiers (the current base areas in southern Liaoning are either production and construction soldiers or soldiers of the Fuxing Army), everyone carried forward the consistent style of the Fuxing Army to do it by themselves, and in Jinzhou and Lushun areas, many glass greenhouses were built with flat glass for vegetable planting.

At the same time, the Baath Army soldiers also set up a number of chicken and pig farms to carry out side production during the winter.

Because the barracks where everyone lives is still a temporary wooden house filled with soil in the middle of the log and wooden rows, but the glass greenhouse is very luxurious for vegetable cultivation. Therefore, everyone often jokes with each other with words like "in the base area of southern Liaoning, green vegetables are more precious than people".

However, because of the emergence of glass greenhouses, the morale of the construction of the base area in southern Liaoning has indeed been improved a lot.

The Mongolian name Nusanha, translated into Chinese, means sloppy, burying. In fact, all Mongolians are similar in terms of hygiene. Whether it is the chief lord or the lowliest herdsman, it is difficult to ensure their cleanliness and hygiene in the relatively water-scarce environment of the grassland.

Of course, in this era of the 17th century, the fact that you have not bathed much in your life may be very shocking to Chinese. However, the situation of Europeans, who have also entered the stage of civilization, is not much different from that of barbarian groups such as the Mongols. Not only is it common for ordinary people in Europe not to take a bath, but also to those nobles in Europe who also adhere to the principle of not bathing.

How else would Europeans invent strong perfumes?

All those who try in vain to attribute their habits of life to religion and national characteristics are idealists with no strings in their heads.

Wang Shuhui never thought that it was religion or ethnic characteristics that made people not take a bath. If it weren't for the constraints of material conditions, such a thing would not have been possible at all.

Let's take the simplest example. The reason why wild boars rub pine oil on themselves is not because wild boars like to get dirty. That's to mix pine oil and sand on their bodies to form a protective layer. The reason why domestic pigs roll in the mud is not because domestic pigs like to be dirty. Rather, it is because domestic pigs need to use mud to prevent mosquito bites.

In the same way, it can be proved that the reason why the Mongols and other steppe peoples do not take a bath is of course not a religious or ethnic factor. That's because in the cold north, the oil on the face protects against freezing. At the same time, water is relatively scarce in the Mongolian steppe.

Of course, most people don't care about their hygiene when they can't eat. The outcasts in the interior and the Dingkou captured by the Jurchens in the Mongolian steppe are as filthy as they are.

Nusanha is 14 years old. The Mongolian civilization is relatively backward, and he doesn't know how to calculate his age, but he also knows that the grassland has turned from yellow to green many times, and his age should be quite old.

In the past, Nusanha didn't care much about people calling her by name. Anyway, everyone's names are almost the same, either given by the leader, or by their parents casually.

But since Nusanha had been a prisoner of the Ba'ath Army, he felt that he should have a new name.

The reason why Nusanha thinks so is simple. The Renaissance Army will not allow dirty, smelly people to appear around them. Therefore, before the six or seven hundred Mongols were captured and entered the prisoner of war camp, they were all treated by the Baxing Army for health and epidemic prevention, bathed, and changed into new clothes, shoes and socks.

In the first few days of her capture by the Baath Party, Nusanha was terrified.

You know, when you see the warriors in your small tribe being torn apart by the sudden appearance of the gods (Renaissance Army scout soldiers) who induce the divine thunder (grenade) to explode, all of them were frightened half to death, and they knelt motionless on the ground and begged for the blessing of the Immortal Heaven.

As the lowest small herdsman in the tribe, Nusanha was scared to pee his pants at that time
