Guided and accompanied by the robot assistant Yibao, Wenxi scanned his face and entered the plant factory, the most core area of the 318 Base Research Institute building.
Robot assistant Yibao led Wenxi to the door of the disinfection room: "No. 89757, please enter the disinfection room and follow the instructions."
Fortunately, Wenxi had looked up the relevant information about the plant factory, otherwise she would have mistakenly thought that this scientific research institute building with shell-shaped piles was a super boss in the wasteland survival game that rewards "disinfection". Every time the player passes a level You will receive the reward of "disinfection once".
Wen Xi was amused by her own whimsical idea. She entered the disinfection room and disinfected her whole body according to the instructions.
What is ironic is that the clothes Wen Xi has worn since time travel were judged to be heavy pollutants by the artificial intelligence in the disinfection room and sent directly to the "non-recyclable garbage" trash can.
Wen Xi:......
I don't know if Chen Ai was too considerate, or because someone in the past had a similar experience to Wenxi, so the artificial intelligence in the disinfection room sent Wenxi a brand new set of radiation-proof clothing, shoes and socks, and even some well-fitting underwear.
"The achievement of buying a set of clothes for free has been achieved!"
Wen Xi didn't expect to have new clothes to wear. She happily put on clean and brand-new clothes, and she was no longer depressed instantly.
Prostitution for free is fun!
Yeah~
In less than ten minutes, Wenxi wore the clothes provided to her in the disinfection room and followed the robot assistant Yibao to the entrance of the plant factory.
Robot assistant Yibao: "No. 89757, please wait a moment! In the next 30 seconds, machine number 11110 will verify your visitor identity. Please cooperate."
Wen Xi’s goal today is to figure out how the plant factory at the 318 base works, and he doesn’t want to cause unnecessary problems: “Okay.”
After the identity verification was completed, a voice that was more mechanical and cold than the robot assistant Yibao sounded: "Welcome visitors! 318 base citizen number 89757, please follow the machine number 11111 to enter the designated area of the plant factory for a visit."
The robot assistant Yibao came to the door first. After scanning the access permit, the door made of unknown metal suddenly opened.
Wen Xi had a sense of time and space dislocation, like a science fiction movie shining into reality. She stared blankly at the black technology door that shone with silvery white light. She was shocked beyond words.
Robot assistant Yibao reminded again: "No. 89757, please come in."
"oh oh."
Wen Xi took the lead in crossing the metal door that shocked her so much. She looked back and saw the robot assistant Yibao entering this area that was completely unfamiliar to her in a leisurely manner.
"No. 8975, please follow me."
Robot assistant Yibao quickened his pace slightly, walked in front of Wenxi, and began to guide her around the plant factory.
Wenxi followed Yibao and turned a corner. What he saw was a brightly lit green paradise. In rows of neat cultivation racks, plants that had mutated or become extinct outside the plant factory were growing vigorously.
The so-called plant factory requires no soil, no pesticides, and is not affected by the natural environment. It produces plants under completely factory-like conditions by simulating the light, temperature, nutrients and other factors required by plants.
Depending on the different plants being cultivated, the culture racks used are different, and their purpose is to facilitate the plants to perform photosynthesis better.
Entering the designated area, the robot assistant Yibao transformed into an emotional tour guide and read the script according to the script:
"Today's world has serious radiation pollution, mutant beasts are rampant, and food production is extremely low. How can we ensure that surviving humans have enough food to eat? The emergence of plant factories has opened up a new way for humans to solve the food shortage crisis and is a crown jewel of human wisdom. Pearl.”
"How is a head of lettuce produced in a plant factory environment? The seeds are first sown on a hole tray. After two or three days of germination, the seeds turn into small seedlings and are then sent to the seedling workshop for further processing. Seedlings.”
"After 12-14 days, after the seedlings are grown, they are planted on the cultivation tray and sent to the cultivation workshop. After another 20-22 days of cultivation, when the lettuce grows to a weight of 100-120 grams, it can be Harvested, packaged, and finally delivered to the dining tables of surviving humans.”
"The high investment and high operating costs of plant factories have restricted their development scale. Take lettuce as an example. The lettuce cultivated in plant factories has a large output and good quality, but its price is high, far exceeding the consumption ability of ordinary people. Lettuce If the sales volume cannot meet the profit standard, then we can only switch to other high value-added fruits and vegetables.”
…
Wen Xi came to the vertical cylindrical culture rack where the lettuce was growing. The green lettuce was so juicy that she couldn't help but salivate. After stir-frying, it must be fresh, juicy and crispy, much better than what she had eaten in the restaurant. Sweet potato sprouts are a hundred times more delicious!
Ninety percent of the land outside the 318 base is barren and scorched. When the wind blows, the sky is filled with sand and dust, giving people a deep sense of what it is like to be covered in dust.
When Wenxi entered the plant factory where everything was green, she had the illusion of being in a green paradise. The wonderful taste of garlic lettuce buried deep in her memory surged up from the bottom of her heart, making her greedy. I can’t wait to break off the lettuce and stuff it into my mouth!
"Yibao, how do you sell these lettuces? Can I buy them?"
Robot assistant Yibao: "No. 89757. According to regulations, visitors to the plant factory are entitled to taste high-quality ingredients. Please follow me to the tasting area."
"Tasting area? Wow! This idea must have been thought up by that cunning businessman Chen Ai, right?"
Wen Xi was so excited that she revealed her true feelings.
Before the robot assistant Yibao could answer, a familiar yet gentle male voice sounded: "Wenxi, I'll just take it as you complimenting me on my business acumen."
Wen Xi unconsciously put up his psychological defense, and his eyes were a little more wary: "Chen Ai, didn't you say you have something important? Are you finished so quickly?"
"Um."
Chen Ai didn't want to say more and personally led Wenxi to the tasting area: "Here, you can choose how you want to cook the lettuce. But I suggest you choose the lettuce salad. This salad dressing is produced in the first base and has a rich taste. It won’t cover up the sweet taste of lettuce itself.”
Wen Xi nodded, and she chose three kinds at once: lettuce salad, fried lettuce with garlic, and lettuce wrapped rice.
Chen Ai was startled for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and praised: "Tsk, tsk, you must be able to eat. I really underestimate you."
Children only make choices, adults of course choose what they like!
Hey, if she tries a few more things later, won't she save money on dinner today?
Wen Xi's little abacus was in full swing. She did some calculations and found out that the few points in her account might not be enough to buy rice seeds.
She now wants to buy seeds from Chen Ai, a profiteer. With Chen Ai's cunningness, he will definitely dig a big hole for her!
Wenxi was right. Chen Ai had no intention of letting Wenxi leave with hundreds of thousands of points. His goal was:
Wenxi earns points in the city and spends them in the city. Once he breaks up, he wants to take them out of the city!
