Apocalyptic natural disaster, stock up with billions of supplies to survive

Although the crops had received very little sunlight before, there was still some sunlight, and since they were new crops, they only needed a small amount of sunlight to grow.

The only place in the entire farm that has fill lights is the greenhouse, because the crops grown there are ordinary crops grafted by Lu Yuan, such as peppers, eggplants, etc.

Now that the polar night has arrived, there is no sunlight at all.

Han Ying doesn't think that this polar night will just last a few days.

The two of them came here today to discuss the issue of additional lighting with several senior executives of the farm.

To add fill light, you need electricity. Han Ying has electricity, but it’s not easy to take out so much.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan had just arrived at the farm when Liu Hefeng and Li Ping brought people to maintain order on the farm.

The farm was lit by a few lamps, some dim kerosene lamps and a stove for heating.

There are a lot of them, but the space they can illuminate is limited.

The darkness brought by the polar night seems different from the darkness after the sun sets in the past.

This difference is also very obvious.

If a kerosene lamp can illuminate an area of ​​three meters on a normal day, then after the polar night a kerosene lamp can only illuminate an area of ​​less than two meters.

This will invisibly waste more kerosene or other fuels.

"Boss Han, so far, there are only 562 people here today. Except for a few management staff, they have all been arranged to go to work."

There are a few people coming, but the farm work needs people to do it every day.

So even if there are few people coming, we have to finish the things that need to be done first. For example, there must be people at the ranch every day.

"You did a great job, Captain Liu. Today's situation is special. Please arrange for others to patrol first. You can come with us to the conference room for a meeting later."

After Han Ying finished speaking, she took the flashlight and walked towards the meeting room first.

As she walked, Han Ying called Lei Minghu, wanting to ask if he had come over.

Lei Minghu is the manager of the farm and he is needed for many things, so if he can arrive, we still have to wait for him.

As soon as the call was connected, Lei Minghu said they had arrived at the farm gate.

Han Ying didn't expect them to come so quickly.

Han Ying told Lei Minghu about the meeting later and then went into the meeting room.

When he mentioned that the meeting was going to start, Lu Yuan asked someone to go to the conference room and light the stove.

Although the temperature hasn't risen yet, we can't wait for it to rise.

After a while, Lei Minghu also came over.

In addition to Han Ying, Lu Yuan, Lei Minghu, Li Ping, and Liu Hefeng, the meeting today also included the district heads of four other districts and the heads of the ranches.

Feng Shaochen is Li Ping's apprentice and also the person in charge of Area A, so he was also present at the meeting.

Han Ying, the owner of the farm, sat in the middle.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the polar night should not pass so quickly. The main reason I called you all here today is to talk about the issue of fill light. You can share any ideas you have."

Han Ying spoke first. She didn't beat around the bush and directly raised the question.

“The most important things for fill lighting are fill lights and electricity, so everyone spoke enthusiastically about these two things.”

After Han Ying finished speaking, Lu Yuan added another sentence.

"There are some supplementary lights at the farm, but they are not enough to supply the entire farm. We have to collect some from outside."

Li Ping has been on the farm longer than anyone else, so he knows the situation on the farm best.

The warehouse manager of the tool room did not come to work today, but Li Ping knew something about these things.

"The problem with the fill light is not a big deal. We have some in stock at the farm. I will also contact the mall to find a solution. It shouldn't be a problem. So the most important thing now is the electricity."

Lu Yuan knew that Han Ying had a lot of fill lights. Even if the quantity at the farm warehouse and the shopping mall was not enough, they could go out and bring back a batch.

Then everyone started talking about the electricity problem.

"There are many ways to generate electricity, but most of them are not practical at all now. The only practical ways to generate electricity now are thermal, hydro, wind, and oil power generation."

"You're right, but the temperature is minus 70 or 80 degrees Celsius now, so forget about using water power. The wind has turned into wind blades now, so forget about it!"

"Firepower requires a lot of fuel. It's not enough for heating in such a cold weather, and it's not practical to use it to generate electricity."

"Not to mention the fuel. Over the past few years, so many bodies have been burned, and there was also a lot of fuel used during the reconstruction period. Even the government may not be able to come up with much fuel now..."

...

We discussed several ways to generate electricity but could not come to any conclusion.

"In fact, there is another way to generate electricity that you didn't mention just now."

Seeing that none of these methods worked, Lei Minghu thought about it and felt that although it was difficult, it was still a solution.

Hearing Lei Minghu's words, everyone turned their eyes to him.

Lei Minghu said calmly: "Human power generation."

"Although it's difficult, what we have the most right now is manpower, right? Although the amount of electricity generated is small, the power required for the fill light is actually not much. As long as we can get a human-powered generator, with so many people taking turns to support the fill light, there should be no problem."

Those small manual chargers are actually equivalent to human-powered generators. Han Ying had given them one before, allowing them to charge walkie-talkies and mobile phones.

"It is indeed possible to generate electricity using human power, such as hand-cranked, pedal-operated, walking, etc., but these all require equipment..."

All in all, human-powered generators are indeed the most suitable way to generate electricity in the end times.

But when it comes to equipment, everyone looks at Han Ying and Lu Yuan, the two owners.

In terms of manpower, there are so many people on the farm, and if each person takes turns for half an hour, it is definitely enough to use the fill lights.

So after discussing for a long time, it finally came down to an equipment issue.

Equipment problems cannot be solved by others. You can only go to the base or find a middleman outside.

As for other installation issues, we can only wait until we have the equipment.

The issue of the fill light was resolved, and the next topic of the meeting turned to farm safety and planting issues.

The polar night can be said to be a breeding ground for criminals. In the darkness, the evil hearts of those who intend to commit crimes will swell.

The polar night has just begun today, and some people have not yet realized it, and those who intend to commit crimes have not yet realized it.

So it's safe for now.

But after today, when those people understand what the polar night means, their safety will not be guaranteed even in the base.

Fill-in lights will be installed inside the farm, so it will inevitably be brighter than other places.

In the polar night, places with light are the safest and most dangerous places.

If you are strong, then the place with light is the safest.

Without strength, that little bit of light will only become a target.

The farm currently has 120 soldiers patrolling in shifts 24 hours a day.

But as the farm continues to expand and the area becomes larger and larger, it is inevitable that some places will be neglected.

So Han Ying plans to recruit another team of farm guards.

However, this guard team still needs to be discussed with Liu Hefeng in private, so it’s not appropriate to talk about it here.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the farm, Liu Hefeng and his men need to be given more weapons.

Although their company has 120 people, they do not have many guns and bullets.

I'll mention this to him when I discuss the escort team with him.

The sun no longer shines, and most people don't own watches.

So many people don’t know the time at all, so the broadcasting studio has to add an additional hourly time announcement.

The underground passage between the base and the farm is relatively dim. In order to ensure the personal safety of the workers, people have to be stationed in the passage.

Discuss each matter one by one, no matter how big or small.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and when it ended it was time for lunch, so everyone could only carry kerosene lamps or flashlights and head towards the cafeteria.
