Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

"It's not a good harvest, it can only be said that the crops are enough for one person to eat." Chen Xin just shook his head slightly reserved for the envy expressed by Li Wensheng.

Although the yield of paddy in the field is good, it is indeed not a bumper harvest, especially since he is planting upland rice. Compared with rice, the yield is only 60-70% of that of rice.

Hearing Chen Xin's explanation, Li Wensheng could only nod his head in understanding, and agreed with Chen Xin's opinion, but he also put forward an idea: "Writer, can you change paddy fields here? If you plant rice, Or will the yield of paddy fields be higher?”

"Paddy fields? Make paddy fields underground?" Chen Xin frowned, feeling that this was a little unrealistic.

However, Li Wensheng explained: "Of course, the traditional irrigated paddy field cannot be used underground, but what if the writer is hydroponics? It should be possible to grow rice on a hydroponics tray and use the water-based method."

Li Wensheng's suggestion gave Chen Xin a lot of inspiration. He hurriedly asked: "Rice itself is an aquatic crop, isn't it just planted directly in water? Why is there a water planting method?"

"Although the rice is planted directly in the water, there are still requirements, and the water should not be too much, otherwise it will become waterlogged." Li Wensheng, who has been planting the land at all times, has a natural understanding of this: "And rice is also Only the rhizome is soaked in the water, if the leaves are soaked in the water, it is bound to get sick, so the water for planting rice should not be too much. As for the water planting method, the rice is fixed on the water surface with a planting plate, and the roots are still soaked in the water. In the water, but the rest is above the water."

After listening to Li Wensheng's explanation, Chen Xin immediately understood, he nodded and said, "I understand after hearing what you said, but this method of planting sounds simple, but it should be difficult in practice, right?"

"It's not easy. I've seen people do it before. It's not very easy, but it's done on a lake. You're growing a greenhouse, so there's a difference." Li Wensheng admitted that there are indeed technical difficulties in growing rice like this, but it's not completely Can't do it.

Chen Xin nodded understandingly and said nothing, and Li Wensheng also took the opportunity to leave.

After sending Li Wensheng away, Chen Xin returned to the shelter, still thinking about the matter of planting French rice on the water that Li Wensheng mentioned.

If it is possible to grow rice by hydroponics, Chen Xin can of course calculate how much the yield has increased, which is a tempting idea.

The yield per mu of upland rice is normally around 800 to 900 jin per season, but the yield of rice is much higher, even if it is not the super rice in the Yan Kingdom, which is rushing to the unit of ton, even if it is ordinary rice, The yield per mu can also reach 1,000 to 1,200 jin, and some high-yielding varieties can even reach about 1,500 jin.

In addition, in most areas of the Yan Kingdom, rice can be grown twice or three times a year. As long as the farmers are a little bit diligent and use scientific methods, they can grow one or two tons of grain a year without any problems. .

If it is replaced by upland rice, even if it is grown in a greenhouse like Chen Xin, it can produce more than one ton of output for three seasons a year.

Although high-yielding rice is very dependent on the hybrid cultivation of rice seeds and the use of fertilizers, even so, it is very tempting for Chen Xin to be able to produce a variety of grains.

Maybe when you upgrade your planting greenhouse next time, you can make a modification to the current planting model?

Chen Xin is seriously thinking about the feasibility of this idea, and he has a system in hand. Even if he really can change the land in front of him into paddy fields, he is not worried that his idea cannot be realized.

In addition to the ten fish sent by Li Wensheng, Li Yulong also quickly sent the seeds promised to Chen Xin.

Chili, eggplant, spinach, coriander, tomatoes, white radish, lettuce, chrysanthemum, long beans, lentils, red amaranth, water spinach...

Chen Xin counted the seeds delivered by Li Yulong, with a rather happy smile on his face.

The seed bag he bought originally contained these common crops. According to Chen Xin's original assumption, he should grow food on half of the land, vegetables on a quarter of the land, and four more in his greenhouse. One part of the land grows fruit.

In this way, even if the channels for obtaining food from the outside world are cut off, he can still eat and drink in the underground shelter without worry.

But people are not as good as heaven. Who would have thought that he bought the seeds, but the courier did not deliver them to him?

Chen Xin thought that he would only be able to eat cabbage, lettuce and carrots in the end.

But now Chen Xin has no such troubles anymore. With the batch of seeds sent by Li Yulong, Chen Xin can live a life of whatever he wants to eat, and greatly enrich his recipes, so as not to let his intermediate The chef certificate becomes a piece of waste paper.

And there is something that makes Chen Xin especially happy and excited, that is, the seeds of more than a dozen kinds of fruits.

There are mangoes, watermelons, strawberries, dates, cantaloupe, kiwi, oranges, lychees... Although some of these varieties are not very easy to grow, such as strawberries, watermelons, and grapes, Chen Xin can completely grow them in his greenhouse. Plant out.

God is pitiful, he really hasn't eaten fruit for almost half a year.

This made him get the seeds and he couldn't help but want to plant something first, so that he could comfort his long-awaited stomach.

Fortunately, Chen Xin restrained this urge.

In his greenhouse, the hydroponic planting tray is now used to grow vegetables. Before this batch of vegetables is harvested, it is impossible for him to say that he will pull out the vegetables he is currently planting and replace them with fruits.

Although the field is now vacant, Chen Xin decided to continue growing rice after thinking about it, instead of moving the field out to grow fruit.

Of course, after this batch of carrots was harvested, Chen Xin also planned to reduce the carrot planting area, free up a small plot of land to grow strawberries, etc., and improve the food.

In addition, Chen Xin must also consider what Li Yulong wants from himself for giving himself so many benefits.

You must know that Li Yulong came to Chen Xin several times. Except for the fruit and vegetable machine, which was not very valuable, the two hams and the large amount of seeds he sent were all very popular hard currency in the last days.

Chen Xin didn't feel that his relationship with Li Yulong was so good that he could give him something like this without asking for anything in return. There is no good thing in this world that doesn't ask for anything in return.

Chen Xin just agreed to cooperate, and the cooperation has not yet started. Li Yulong invested so much in the early stage, and what he wants to get is only more.

Seed packs are really good to buy. Taobao costs about tens of dollars a piece. There are less than 20 kinds, and more than 50 or 60 kinds. There are all kinds of seeds, and some of them also come with a full set of balcony planting equipment. If someone is really interested in building a shelter in the basement, this is a set that can be considered.
