In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm

Xia Qing originally thought that what she was trading with Yang Jin was just second-hand stainless steel pipes, but she didn't expect that it was a complete set, including not only the steel pipe frame for the shed, but also a full set of accessories such as the greenhouse rolling shutter machine, film shaker, U-shaped clip, and circlip. There are even six greenhouse fill lights!

 No wonder Yang Jin asked her to buy 200 spinach seeds for two second-hand stainless steel pipes from two greenhouses. The whole set was indeed worth the price.

  Without a hand-operated roller blind machine, she has two greenhouses and only needs more than an hour to close and pull the cold-proof straw curtains every day. With the roller blind machine, this process can be completed within ten minutes for Xia Qing, who is not lacking in strength.

With the time saved, she can go to the No. 49 Mountain Training Ground to participate in practical training. These two hand-operated roller shutter machines are really what she likes.

 Guan Tong, who was delivering the goods, saw that Xia Qing had been playing with the roller shutter machine, so he came over and asked, "This is quite complicated. Do I need to ask the technician from Territory No. 1 to come and help install it?"

"No, I can pretend." Xia Qing's five years as the construction team leader was not for nothing. Welding and installing greenhouse steel frames and rolling shutter machines were her job.

Chen Cheng came over and asked with a smile, "Sister Qing, is there anything else you don't know?"

“I don’t know the skills that require someone to teach me.” Because she couldn’t afford the price, no one was willing to teach her. What she knows, she can learn by just standing there and watching.

Xia Qing motioned to Chen Cheng to help her hold the steel frame. She stepped on the bench and held up the welding gun to weld the steel pipe.

 The greenhouse in Xia Qing's territory is 50 meters long, 6 meters wide, and the north wall is 3.5 meters high. When welding the support frame of the north wall, you need to step on a stool.

 The height of the earthen walls on the east and west sides gradually decreased from 3.5 to 1 meter, so the sun-receiving surface of the entire greenhouse is an inclined surface with a height in the north and a low in the south, with a **** difference of 2.5 meters.

Such an inclined design can reduce the impact of strong winds on the greenhouse. The inclined surface can also better withstand the pressure of snow and rain, preventing the frame from bending or breaking due to the concentration of weight on one point. At the same time, the **** also helps the greenhouse film to better cover the greenhouse, reducing gaps and loopholes, and improving the thermal insulation effect.

 If the construction technology is insufficient and the **** is too steep or uneven, it will also affect the service life and stability of the greenhouse.

Xia Qing’s greenhouse does not have a problem of insufficient technology, because the earthen walls of her greenhouse were built by Qi Fu and others, and they definitely meet the standards; she installed the steel frames herself to ensure they meet the standards.

 When there is sufficient sunshine during the day, the straw curtains used for thermal insulation on the plastic film of the greenhouse are rolled up with a hand-crank roller, so that the animals and plants in the greenhouse can be exposed to the sunlight and grow.

 When the sun sets and the temperature drops, put down the straw curtain to block the heat during the day, so that the animals and plants in the greenhouse can continue to grow without being affected by the low temperature. As long as the temperature does not drop below minus 10 degrees Celsius, there is no need to heat up the greenhouse.

With the help of Hu Hufeng’s team, Xia Qing welded the steel frame of the breeding greenhouse in one afternoon, fastened the plastic film of the greenhouse, and covered it with straw curtains to prevent cold and heat.

 After dark, the chickens in the chicken pens all returned to the chicken coop. Xia Qing entered the chicken coop with night vision goggles. Catch the chickens squatting on the shelf one by one into the chicken coop and lift them into the greenhouse.

When other chickens were caught, the most they could do was cluck a few times in panic and struggle a few times. When it was the white-feathered hen's turn, this guy actually stretched out his head and pecked Xia Qing's hand. This is a green light chicken with reinforced bones. Its beak and claws are very powerful. If it pecks or scratches it, it will definitely be injured.

Xia Qing, who was well prepared, grabbed its neck with one hand and its legs with the other, and stuffed it into the chicken coop. Then a net was used to cover the black-feathered rooster that was flapping in the chicken coop, and it was also stuffed inside. "Hey." Seeing Xia Qing walking out with the chicken, the sheep man standing at the door of the house shouted.

"It's getting cold, so I caught the chickens and took them to the greenhouse. It's warm there." Xia Qing put down the chicken coop, went back to the house to get the night vision goggles of the sheep boss, put them on, and then asked, "Boss, second child "Would you like to go to the greenhouse with me?"

 Because the Bearded Feng team has been in the territory in the afternoon, the sheep boss and the sick wolf did not go over. They still don’t know what the purpose of the large engineering project that has just been built in their territory is.

Xia Qing now wanted them to see what he was doing by going out early and coming home late these days to dig in the soil.

 Two greenhouses are built side by side on the west side of the vegetable greenhouse on the cultivated land. The breeding greenhouse is on the west side and the planting greenhouse is on the east side. There are doors to and from the greenhouse on both sides. A small room with a length, width and height of two meters is built next to the door.

This cabin can store agricultural tools, fertilizers, chemicals and other supplies. It can also be used as a transition zone between the outside and the greenhouse to prevent cold air from the outside from rushing directly into the greenhouse when someone enters or exits the greenhouse, affecting the growth of animals and plants inside. .

After carrying the chicken coop and entering the greenhouse with two companions, Xia Qing turned on the greenhouse fill light hanging in the greenhouse.

Greenhouse fill-in lights are designed based on the principle that plants use sunlight for photosynthesis, and are used to provide plants with the light sources they need for growth and development when the light is insufficient. Of course, this light source is also suitable for supplementing light for farmed poultry.

 “Click!”

　　After turning on the fill light, before Xia Qing had time to show off the greenhouse to her companions, she heard the chicken coop crack. The white-feathered hen used its sharp claws to break off two bamboo pieces in the chicken coop.

 “Fuck me!”

Xia Qing exclaimed and quickly stuffed the chicken coop into the chicken coop in the greenhouse. She was afraid that if she was too late, the grumpy white-feathered hen would come out and scratch a hole in the plastic film of the greenhouse she had just built.

In order to prevent chickens from damaging the plastic film, the chicken pens in the greenhouse are built with wire mesh left over from the wall repairs. The wire mesh is very strong and the claws of white-feathered hens should not be able to cause substantial damage to the wire mesh. Other chickens Not to mention.

 After closing the chickens, Xia Qing glanced at the thermometer hanging on the wall. Although the greenhouse has just been closed for more than two hours, the plastic film and cold-proof straw curtains have isolated the cold air from outside from invading the inside of the greenhouse. Now the indoor temperature has reached 6°C, which is 5°C higher than the outdoor temperature.

 The current outdoor temperature is already approaching zero degrees.

Xia Qing installed the drinking water buckets and food troughs for the chickens, and poured in pollution-free spring water and mixed chicken feed. The chickens, led by the black-feathered rooster, immediately rushed to the trough, stuck out their heads from the gap between the railings, and pecked quickly.

After placing the chickens, Xia Qing took the sheep boss and the sick wolf through the small door with plastic sheeting on the earthen wall, entered the connected hut, and then from the hut to the outside of the greenhouse, and then from the hut into the greenhouse to let them get familiar with it. How to get in and out of the greenhouse.

Finally, Xia Qing brought the two companions to the plastic film and gave a stern warning, "You must go through the door and do not tear the plastic film. If the boss dares to break the plastic film, I will deduct your rations. If the second brother dares to tear the plastic film, I will deduct your rations." If the membrane is broken, I will deprive you of the green light egg, do you understand me?" (End of Chapter)
