Chapter 156: Eating Enough and Thinking Blindly
After eating the first meal after the harvest and the first formal rice after coming to the shelter, Chen Xin patted the bulging belly he ate, feeling sincerely satisfied.
Let the stomach bulge, this is a very long time after the end of the world, after all, having food to eat and being able to eat until the stomach bulges are completely different.
The former is considered half-full, the latter is considered to be a support, and the difference between the two in terms of food consumption is also very large, perhaps the former is 0.8, and the latter is 1.5, and the gap can even be eaten again.
Therefore, Chen Xin does feel very satisfied and happy.
After eating and drinking, Chen Xin did not turn on the game console today, but planned to use his notebook to play the game and began to continue pondering the drawings of the dryer.
With a laptop, you can get straight to work after playing games, and you don't have to turn off the TV and game consoles, which is also a little easier.
just turned on the computer, but Chen Xin almost opened a shelter game.
This is a very simple pixel art side-scrolling game, and the main plot of the game is also that the family has built an underground shelter to escape the apocalypse after encountering a nuclear war.
This game should have been downloaded by Chen Xin a long time ago, because the game is not big, so he has forgotten to delete it and left it on the desktop of the 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 will encounter enemies, some will suffer from excessive radiation, some will be sick or hungry due to lack of water and food, and even some will have psychological problems due to shooting and killing......
It's up to the player to take care of each of these things to keep the shelter running and the characters alive until they fix their cars and escape the apocalypse.
But while Chen Xin was playing, he found a fundamental problem that made him feel like he wanted to laugh.
Because he himself is in the last days, because when he plays this game, he is particularly touched? The various problems encountered in the game, some of which Chen Xin encountered, and some of whom did not? I don't want to talk about it, but the protagonist of the game has been collecting food from abandoned cities to make a living? This point made Chen Xin unacceptable.
Perhaps this is the biggest gap between Eastern and Western civilizations? Westerners always want to plunder resources for development, while Easterners think more about farming.
For a Yanguo person? What if the end times are met with the stability of the environment? As long as you have the conditions, you will want to plant something? Even if it's just a pot to grow a tomato or something, you have to plant something.
So this also caused the difference between the two modes of thinking, and also led to the fact that Chen Xin's survival strategy was completely different from that in the game.
Of course, maybe it's because he has a system? Got a plug-in? There are conditions for planting, and if Chen Xin does not have the conditions to plant greenhouses like other shelters, then he really can't plant land.
However, the mindset of wanting to farm is deep-rooted, and as long as there are conditions, they will still try to plant something.
Because in the eyes of the people of Yanguo, relying on heaven and earth and relying on parents? It's not as good as relying on yourself.
Hoping to get supplies from abandoned cities, how can there be stability from farming on their own? Grow your own and eat your own? If you have more, you can also exchange it with others, isn't this development model fragrant?
And don't need to risk going to the ruins of the city to collect supplies? Isn't security greatly improved, too?
If you can farm safely and steadily, you will have food, so why risk your life to go out and fight with others just to grab a little bit of food?
If there is really no condition, then there is no way? But if there are conditions? Chen Xin thinks that no one would like to risk their lives to find food? Instead of farming in peace.
Maybe this is the difference between the thinking of the people of the Yan country and other countries, the thinking mode of Western countries looking at the end of the world is somewhat similar to the beasts in the dark forest, everyone is careful to hide themselves, beware of others, and it is difficult to obtain a little food, if it is discovered by others, it is a fight, and the loser becomes the prey of the winner.
But for the people of Yanguo, they are more inclined to work together to cultivate and farm, and then build their homes, unite and be strong to make their lives better.
It is precisely because of such a deep-rooted idea, and Chen Xin himself has enough conditions to realize all this, that he will be particularly attentive to his planting greenhouse, not only planting upland rice and vegetables to eat, but also exchanging aquaponics equipment with Li Wensheng, planning to engage in aquaponics in his own planting greenhouse and raise some fish to enrich his recipes.
However, although Li Wensheng sent the aquaponics equipment, Chen Xin did not start fish farming immediately, on the one hand, the equipment was not installed, Chen Xin had no place to raise fish, and on the other hand, Li Wensheng had not sent live fish yet.
In addition, Chen Xin has been busy harvesting rice in the past two days, so the installation of aquaponics equipment has been left behind.
Now that he has harvested all the rice and eaten the rice cooked with new rice, Chen Xin naturally remembered this matter.
For aquaponics equipment, Chen Xin's original idea was to integrate it into the planting greenhouse, combine it with hydroponic planting, and grow vegetables while raising fish.
This is not difficult to achieve, aquaponics is also designed for hydroponic planting, Chen Xin wants to integrate aquaponics equipment into it will not have any conflicts or inappropriate places.
It's just that the aquaponics equipment sent by Li Wensheng is not large, according to what he said, this set of equipment is a small equipment for family use, and the design and maintenance area of a set of equipment is 30 square meters of hydroponic planting area and three cubic meters of aquaculture water body.
In terms of the consumption of a family, of course, so much is enough for 3-5 people, but for the new planting greenhouse, a set of equipment is not even enough for one-fifth of the area.
Therefore, if Chen Xin wants to transform the hydroponic planting system in his planting greenhouse into an aquaponics system, he must either install several more sets of equipment, or use these equipment as upgrade materials to upgrade the entire planting greenhouse again.
However, the survival points required to upgrade the planting greenhouse again are three times that of the previous upgrade of the planting greenhouse, and more importantly, Chen Xin does not have enough materials in his hands now, and if he only provides aquaponics equipment, he can only reduce the consumption of upgraded survival points by 10%.
Fortunately, the troughs of the hydroponic trays in his greenhouse are separate instead of large, one-piece troughs, and he can connect a part of the trays to the aquaponics system first.
Anyway, he only asked Li Wensheng for ten live fish, and he wouldn't be able to use too much aquaculture water for a while.
