The Lucians were naturally very happy that Chen Xin was willing to provide technical assistance to help them rebuild the shelter. They quickly arranged for the person in charge and designer of the shelter reconstruction plan to meet with Chen Xin.
"Isn't your shelter designed with a greenhouse?" In a conference room, Chen Xin tapped on the design drawings of the Lucians and asked them this question that puzzled him.
"Due to energy issues, we can only guarantee the power supply and heating of these shelters. If we want to build another greenhouse, the power consumption will be at least double, which we cannot afford." The person in charge was very helpless. Spreading their hands, they explained the reason why they did not build a greenhouse.
Hearing what the person in charge said, Chen Xin was stunned for a moment before realizing that the Lucians were not from the Yan Kingdom. The energy tower and isotope battery technology provided by Chen Xin had solved the energy problem in this apocalyptic environment. Large-scale construction of greenhouses.
But after thinking for a moment, he still asked them: "How did those people in these shelters solve the food problem before? They didn't just rely on reserves, right?"
"Um, this..." The person in charge and the designer looked at each other, and the designer spoke again: "They have a greenhouse, but it's just a very small one. It can afford the food consumption of about a dozen people, and it consumes natural energy. It's not high, it can afford this kind of consumption, and it can even raise some fish.
However, the shelter we renovated will house nearly 5,000 people, and their original greenhouse was only enough to provide an extra meal for the management staff. So we simply eliminated the greenhouses and relied on external inputs for food supply in these shelters. "
The designer explained the reason, but there was one thing he did not mention, that is, the government controlled the food supply channels. Even if someone wanted to cause trouble, the problem could be solved directly by cutting off the supply channels.
It's just that you can do this kind of thing, but you can't say it out loud. Otherwise, if the public knows that this is the official purpose, it will only cause greater trouble.
Chen Xin thought of this unspeakable reason for a moment, but he pretended not to know and said: "This won't work. What if there is a problem with your food supply? Watch these people starve to death? It would be better to prepare a greenhouse for them in the shelter that can produce food.”
"This..." The person in charge hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and asked Chen Xin: "How to solve the energy problem?"
"Use a ground source heat pump." Chen Xin had already planned for this, not to mention that his own shelter is still using this system, so he explained: "By laying pipes in the shallow strata, we can use shallow geothermal heat to obtain energy.
Although this technology cannot obtain a lot of energy, it is still no problem to at least maintain the operation of a greenhouse. In this way, even if five thousand people cannot be self-sufficient, it can ensure that they can persist for a longer period of time in an emergency. "
Hearing what Chen Xin said, the person in charge and the designer had a quick discussion in a low voice, and then the person in charge asked Chen Xin: "We don't have the budget to apply this technology, and we don't have the relevant equipment. Can Yan Guo do it?" Help us solve this problem?"
Lucia's project leader was obviously making wishful thinking here. If Yan Guo did not provide assistance, they could naturally follow their original plan without changing anything.
But if Chen Xin said that Yanguo can provide equipment assistance, then it is not impossible to increase investment a little, as long as the scale of the greenhouse is controlled so that its output cannot meet the food needs of the shelter population.
Of course, he can also give Yan Guo a budget based on a design that can meet the needs of the shelter population. As for the subsequent construction, he can deduct part of the equipment and budget and use it elsewhere, such as building a new official facility. Perfect shelter.
Chen Xin didn't know that the Lucia project leader in front of him would have such an idea, but he didn't agree directly.
Although the country gave Chen Xin certain permission to provide technical assistance to the Lucians, Chen Xin was not stupid enough to directly say that Yan State could provide assistance.
He just thought for a moment and then said: "We can provide you with relevant technologies, provided that you have such needs. As for direct material assistance, this is not something I can decide. If you really have such needs, If necessary, you can make requests in this regard to the country, and you need to negotiate for yourself on how to provide specific assistance."
At this point, Chen Xin also shrugged with a pretense of humor: "This technology is already very mature in Yanguo, and we have also had large-scale applications. One set of equipment can even heat a shelter with more than 5,000 people." And power supply, coupled with your nuclear battery, is enough to ensure that this shelter can be self-sufficient."
While saying this, Chen Xin flipped through the design drawings on the table again and said to the two Lucians: "There are also some problems with your architectural plan. Private kitchens can indeed improve people's happiness, but for shelters Overall, it is a safety hazard.
Even if you use an induction cooker, it is difficult to guarantee absolute electrical safety. Once something like a fire breaks out, it will endanger the entire shelter.
So I suggest you use a centralized food supply method, such as the canteen in the Suvian era. I think this drawing was originally designed in this way, right? The place where you added the meeting place should be the canteen in the original drawing design. "
"Yes, we take into account people's privacy and personal tastes and habits, so the plan is to design a simple kitchen for every family. At least they can make something they want to eat. The canteen does not give people the same feeling. Okay." The designer hurriedly explained, and the reasons given seemed to be very sufficient, with typical correct thoughts and respect for privacy and freedom.
However, Chen Xin mercilessly tore apart this boring lie, pointing to the drawing and said: "Don't be kidding, your original plan was to uniformly supply food from the outside. Unless you can guarantee the diversity of food, otherwise it would be most suitable." The approach is to provide everyone with a standard meal!
Under such circumstances, don’t tell me what kind of different food you think the people can have fun with and make! There is an old saying in our country of Yan that "it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice." You can't even guarantee food supply, and the people's stomachs are not full, so how can you have the leisure to study how to make food? "
"This..." The designer's face was a little embarrassed, but he turned his attention to the person in charge and cast a look at him for help.
The person in charge blushed when the designer saw him, but he still tried to explain to Chen Xin: "Sir, please listen to my explanation..."
