Chapter 17: The Era of Great Construction (2)
Yu Yifeng suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour. In the base, these absenteeism can be said to be the lowest status except for death row prisoners.
In order to save money, the previous coalition government usually selected absenteeism in Africa, Southeast Asia and other places, and offered very low salaries, usually only 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars for a year.
Therefore, these absentees simply cannot afford to buy vegetables produced at the lunar base. I can't bear to pay a hundred dollars a vegetable...... There is also another possibility, which you can't buy if you want to.
Nowadays, the entire base implements a rationing system, the original economic system is completely abandoned, and everyone's food is uniformly supplied and eats in a big pot. In order to encourage people, yesterday's meal added a little vegetables in addition to the fixed high-energy compressed food. Because of this, these absentees hurriedly came to thank themselves.
People, in times of crisis, we can only witness a person's character, some people are usually noble, but once they encounter difficulties, they will languish and give up on themselves; There are also people who are usually not very eye-catching, but they are still optimistic when they encounter difficulties, and their vitality is as vigorous as weeds and as tenacious as cockroaches.
These absenteeism are such people, they still keep to themselves when the base is in the most chaotic situation, work honestly, and provide power for the base. They are the most simple people.
"Rest assured, after three months, we will not only have vegetables to eat, but also fragrant rice and bread!" Yu Yifeng was a little moved in his heart, "However, this requires the efforts of all of us!" ”
Hearing this, all the absentees cheered, rice and bread, on the moon this is a luxury, not money can be bought, only people with status and status can eat. But who doesn't want to eat a bowl of rice and nibble on a piece of bread? These things are common on earth, but they think about them day and night.
The young black guy suddenly straightened his legs, gave a solemn military salute, and shouted loudly, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”
……
This is just one detail in the construction of production. I have to say that the quality of the people at the moon base is very high, most of them are positive, everyone doesn't want to die, they don't die from the explosion of the earth, but they want to starve to death, that's too aggrieved.
Behind him is death, hesitation, hesitation, only by moving forward, can fight a bloody road, this situation, the most likely to inspire people's fighting spirit.
Many people turn their grief and anger into motivation for work, and there have been several accidents in which people fainted due to long working hours, but fortunately they did not cause major disasters. Therefore, Yu Yifeng urgently convened a meeting, stipulating that the working hours should not exceed 14 hours a day, and they must work in teams of two.
However, there are good and bad ones, and there are always some people who are decadent in their thinking, don't want to work, and don't want to make progress. For these people, first ask friends and relatives to criticize and educate them, and then let them do some simple work.
But some really don't listen to persuasion, so they can only be sorry, reduce the share of food, the base is poor, and they can't afford to support idlers......
The ancients said: If you don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, if you can eat enough if you don't work, the motivation of others will be reduced, which is absolutely not allowed. So, there's nothing polite to these people!
Now the biggest headache for Yu Yifeng is the "Moon Club" founded by Calvin. Since Calvin's accurate prediction of the "explosion of the earth", more and more people have chosen to join the Moon Club.
This can be said to be a strange belief, in Calvin's "prophecy", the son of God is Yu Yifeng, and he has the dual identity of "superhuman" and the leader of the base, so more and more people are beginning to believe.
This kind of belief is different from the ethereal religion, but a bit like chasing stars. Yu Yifeng didn't know what to do, Calvin had been arrested, everything was spontaneous by people, perhaps, what people actually needed more was a kind of spiritual sustenance.
All in all, it is not a big deal, the "Moon Society" is a relatively loose organization, there are almost no anti-human regulations, and it even requires people to believe that "the Son of God will lead mankind out of trouble".
Therefore, the authorities did not take special measures and could only let it go.
Perhaps, when humanity comes out of the predicament, people will come back to their senses, and this phenomenon will slowly disappear.
After appeasing these absenteeism, Yu Yifeng hurried to the grain production base again. You must know that all production transformation is for food, and these grains are the top priority!
The space on the top floor of the base has been basically emptied, and instead there are petri dishes of different sizes, one or two meters long and wide, and generally about twenty or thirty centimeters in height, and scattered green can be seen quietly appearing in the petri dishes.
These petri dishes are stacked on top of each other in iron shelves, saving a lot of space. Each frame is equipped with sun lamps and a temperature control system to ensure that the plants can grow normally.
"Captain Yu, this is the seed of ordinary early rice, the germination rate is more than 96% in 48 hours, and it is still the hybrid seed provided by Huaxia."
Dr. Roman, the chief biologist who spoke from the main person in charge of the grain transformation project, seemed to be quite satisfied with the progress of the experiment, "This batch of rice has a growth cycle of three months, and it is expected to produce 10,000 tons of millet, enough for 50,000 of us to eat for a year!" ”
The two wandered around and talked, and Roman kept introducing the current progress.
"These are wheat seedlings, and the growth period is about 100 days."
"These petri dishes are filled with vegetables, including greens, shepherd's cabbage, bok choy, celery, and so on. Rice and wheat are not enough to provide all the nutrients that the human body needs, so we have also expanded the production of vegetables. ”
"Like the cabbage, the growth cycle is only 30 days, you see, it already looks like it."
When Yu Yifeng heard this, he was happy, "So, in a month, we will be able to eat cabbage?" ”
"Yes! That's true. Roman said with a smile, "This is the power of science and technology, and it is also the effort of all of us." ”
More than a dozen uniformed workers are busy measuring carbon dioxide concentrations, culture medium concentrations, and recording the growth of seedlings.
There are often people who stop outside the glass door to watch, watching these seedlings grow up little by little, and they will be a little moved in their hearts. Human beings want hope in their hearts, a bit like a seedling in a petri dish, with the efforts of everyone, they grow up little by little.
These people have good restraint, and after watching it for a while, they will devote themselves to their work with enthusiasm.
"Dr. Roman, so be it." Yu Yifeng said, "You can arrange that everyone who works hard can adopt a seedling, but only one, as a commemoration of this agricultural transformation." ”
Although Roman was not born as a politician, he also guessed Yu Yifeng's intentions, and said with a smile, "This is simple, take a sticky note and ask them to sign their names and paste it on the petri dish." ”
The two also observed the production situation in the vicinity, and a large number of facilities are in production. If all the projects can be completed, there will be enough food to be produced for at least three years!
Yu Yifeng briefly estimated that today's agricultural transformation plan is based on the stagnation of the vast majority of experiments, and according to the previous algorithm, the economic losses caused are innumerable.
What's more, this transformation has used a lot of resources from previous reserves, and the vast majority of people are working overtime, according to the previous economic system, it will cost at least two trillion dollars in three months!
Two trillion dollars to produce 50,000 tons of food, which costs ...... Hehe, the point is that it's still a one-off, people haven't built a complete ecosystem, and all the carbon dioxide is industrial. It's no wonder that people in the past preferred to bring food from the earth.
"According to the plan, after the agricultural plan is completed, we will have to raise pigs, sheep and other animals, so that humans will have meat to eat, but this cycle is longer...... Ideally, you have to build an ecosystem. Roman said.
Yu Yifeng nodded, "The animals in those laboratories are all well fed, right?" ”
"That's for sure! Eat more moisturizing than people. Roman said. There is no way around it, these animals have now become rare species, and people who want to eat meat have to protect them.
Yu Yifeng continued to walk forward and saw ten plants like small trees, each plant had its own petri dish that was two meters square, and as soon as he approached here, he felt that the temperature was a few degrees lower.
"This is the super rice modified by Perfect Vegetarian!" "They will continue to grow until they are seven or eight meters tall, and each tree can produce 2,000 kilograms of food." ”
"This is the infinite power of perfection, when will we humans be able to do this?"
