Chapter 426 Internal Farming
The synthesis of these three instruments is not complicated, and they all use basic materials such as iron, tin, and graphite.
Shen Jin quickly synthesized three instruments and made a set of [crop stands] for use together.
First, place the [Crop Harvester] on the ground,
It is also a 1 cubic meter cube machine.
A system with block-forming capabilities, the products produced are all block-shaped.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder feels inexplicably comfortable~
If it didn't all have the same space compression capabilities as a [box], it wouldn't be able to hold many things at all.
Open the [Crop Harvester], which has 15 storage compartments that can accommodate harvested crops.
There is also a place to place the battery, indicating that it can be powered by the battery.
Now, Shen Jin’s largest power supply battery is the [Energy Crystal], which can store 100,000 kWh of electricity and is very durable.
Of course, it was for temporary use outside.
The base's infrastructure equipment and sinking are all covered with wires.
"The operating range of the [crop harvester] is 20*20*3m. That harvester can harvest 400 square meters of crops, which is pretty good."
Shen Jin used an [electric wrench] to dismantle the machine and took it to the vegetable greenhouse.
The first phase of the vegetable greenhouse covers an area of 20 acres, and the crops inside are in the harvesting period.
A batch of cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, green peppers, eggplants and other vegetables are shipped out every day.
The harvest was pretty good,
Shen Jin is no longer resting on his old laurels, and all the canned food has been moved off the dining table.
Fresh vegetables, frozen meat, and food reserves.
The rice made with this kind of ingredients is very delicious, and my niece's appetite has increased a bit.
Since coming back from city S, my little niece has been in seclusion and eating like crazy.
It seems that she wants to eat back the energy Shen Jin absorbed from her body.
In the end, my niece didn't ask Shen Jin for the third-order energy crystal core.
Instead, he carries his own big box of bubble gum every dinner,
Ask Shen Jin to fill it with ordinary energy crystal cores, and by the way, ask for a few first-level energy crystal cores to be used as a tooth sacrifice.
"Boss!"
"Boss, you are here!"
"Hello, boss!"
As soon as Shen Jin entered the vegetable greenhouse, the workers inside greeted him one after another.
Shen Jin's image is actually more friendly in the eyes of ordinary people.
Mainly because when he has nothing to do, he always likes to hang out. Most people are familiar with Shen Jin.
There was no air of lordship when speaking,
Most people think that Shen Jin is a good manager who cares about people's livelihood and loves the people.
"Okay, here are a few people to help me find some unharvested land, and I'll try out the new machine."
"Boss, come with me! We haven't picked half an acre of cucumbers yet."
Shen walked into a green cucumber field,
The cucumber vines have grown more than 2 meters high and are very lush. There are long and juicy large cucumbers hanging below, which look very useful. Bah, delicious!
"Okay, that's it, you go and do your work."
Shen Jin took three pieces of [soil] and built an earth pillar in the middle of half an acre of land.
Then put the [Crop Harvester] up,
Put an [Energy Crystal] inside for power supply.
"Didi didi——"
The machine started running, the red light on it flashed, and it was collecting information about the surrounding crops.
By the way, this thing comes with a [Crop Analyzer], which can automatically analyze the following crops to determine the maturity level of the fruits.
The red indicator light above flashed for a moment and then turned green.
"Zizzizi——"
A gap opened on the side of the machine, and a metal mechanical arm stretched out, with a pair of [scissors] attached to it.
Then he aimed accurately at a big juicy cucumber on the cucumber vine next to him.
(*ω)╰ひ╯
Cut it off!
The moment the cucumber is cut, it shrinks into a miniature cucumber model and is sucked into the [Crop Harvester] along the robotic arm.
There is an extra [cucumber] in the internal storage space of the machine.
Then, the robotic arm and the scissors kept shuttling through the cucumber vines, cutting off the ripe cucumbers one by one.
Move quickly and accurately!
The immature cucumbers were bypassed by the machine,
"It seems that this machine can automatically analyze ripe fruits, and it is very accurate."
An hour later, with the [Crop Harvester] as the center, all the cucumber vines in a square area of 20*20m were harvested.
The green indicator light on the [Crop Harvester] turned red again and flashed for a moment.
No ripe fruit was detected, and silence returned.
When Shen Jin read the introduction of the machine, he knew that the machine would rescan every 24 hours and collect the ripe fruits.
"This is very convenient! It would be great if there were logistics pipelines. Then the vegetables and fruits in the entire greenhouse can be transported to one place and fully automated."
Unfortunately, the current industrial module has not yet unlocked pipeline items.
Shen Jin could only let people wearing [Traveler's Gloves] harvest groups of fruits in the machine.
After experimenting with [Crop Harvester],
Shen Jin took out the [Crop Monitoring Machine] and placed it on top of it.
This is a device that automatically cares for crops.
There are three rows of 9 spaces inside.
The first discharge [water unit], the second discharge [herbicide], the third discharge [fertilizer],
Its operating range is similar to that of the [Crop Harvester], and the distance of one block higher does not affect its use.
"Come two people, get some herbicides and fertilizers and bring them over"
[Water Unit] Shen Jin carries a lot with him, after all, it is the source of life.
Soon, Shen Jin put the three items into the [Crop Monitoring Machine].
After putting the battery in again,
[Crop Monitoring Machine] has started to operate.
After the recognition machine inside it scanned for a moment,
A pipe extends from the center of the machine, sinks to the ground, and then extends along the ground to find the newly grown weeds at the bottom.
"Puff~"
There are multiple small round nozzles on the tube, only 1cm in diameter.
The coverage of the spray is very low, only a small amount of herbicide is sprayed, and it is sprinkled accurately on the weeds.
Except for the herbicide tube working below,
There are two more tubes extending out of the machine.
Powdered fertilizer sprays out from the tube and covers the ground thinly and evenly.
Another pipe sprays fine drops of water mist, using the most water-saving drip irrigation method to water the cucumber vines.
The three pipes each perform their own duties, taking care of this cucumber field.
When encountering bad leaves that are yellow or eaten by insects, the [Crop Monitoring Machine] will also extend its robotic arm and cut them off with scissors.
Very intelligent.
It can be said that with these two machines, Shen Jin can have a lot of manpower left to take care of crops.
They just need to open up wasteland and sow the seeds,
From now on, just leave it to the [Crop Monitor] and [Crop Harvester].
"As expected of the machine that was unlocked only in [Intermediate Industry III], it is indeed advanced! The intelligent analysis module inside is probably an era ahead of the original world technology!"
The synthesis tables of these two machines include [Crop Analyzer].
This is a handheld instrument with a large LCD screen on top and a black box on the bottom.
Just put the cubed crops into the black box,
You can analyze its various properties,
Crop name, crop growth stage, nutrient storage, water storage, whether it can be sown, and estimated yield.
In the game, this machine is mainly used to identify various hybrid crops.
"An interesting question comes to the real world. Is it possible to carry out crop hybridization through industry? Can sweet potatoes grow under sugar cane? And peanuts can grow below with corn on top?"
These plants, which are originally from different genera, can be hybridized in the game.
Although the success rate is very low, if you persist, you will synthesize some unimaginable crops.
As for the remaining set of [crop stands] in Shen Jin's hands, in addition to being used as ordinary stands,
Can also be used to construct hybrid crops,
Two [crop racks] are placed crosswise, and the seeds are planted under the two [crop racks].
Next, just leave it to the [Crop Monitoring Machine]. It will automatically identify the plants that need to be hybridized, and then supervise their hybridization process.
The entire process is fully automated,
Shooting chicken is very ginkgo!
Shen Jin took out the [Energy Crystals] from the two machines.
"The power consumption is not bad. It consumes less than 30 kilowatt hours of electricity in total. It is still affordable."
The most important thing is that the two machines just now were in working condition, so they consumed a lot of power.
And most of the time they are sleeping, so the overall power consumption is very low.
"But once the capacity of this kind of machine increases, it will still consume a lot of electricity, and wind turbines will still have to be added."
Nowadays, although [Solar Generator], [Hydraulic Generator], [Thermal Generator], and [Semi-fluid Generator] (biogas) have been unlocked, the wind turbine is still the most popular.
Large power generation, green and clean energy, low machine maintenance rate,
A [carbon rotor], the loss is very small,
Just change it once a year.
Once invested, you can get a steady stream of electricity.
Therefore, we still need to build more wind turbines.
The most complicated and troublesome part of the entire project is choosing a height with strong winds and building a base.
Now that everyone in the Extraordinary Brigade has the ability to create cubes, they can completely do it.
For sinking, you only need to prepare the machine and rotor, and then install them on it.
"Yang Ao and the others are still expanding to the north. Looking at the map, the area suitable for farming is about 20 square kilometers, and then there are mountains. It is not a small project to turn these 20 kilometers into fully automated farming."
The consumables are huge and the circuit is complex.
However, Shen Jin decided to make the decision, because once these 20 square kilometers, or 30,000 acres of land, are transformed,
From then on, in addition to sowing seeds, you can harvest greenhouse vegetables and fruits all year round, and there is no need to plant food for the time being.
"Fruits are still a big problem. We need mature seedlings and some varieties that can grow in greenhouses in the north, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, there are many cherry orchards, and you can eat big cherries from April to June."
Q City is known as the ‘Hometown of Chinese Cherry’. When the season comes, thousands of acres of cherries are ripe.
The fruits are plump and crystal clear, and most of them are high-quality fruits.
As a true Q city native, Shen Jin achieved cherry freedom early.
Now, in the end of the world, he still misses this mouthful.
"So, cherry orchards, grape orchards and other orchards should not be demolished. Keep the status quo and install [crop monitoring machines] so that they can be eaten when the season comes. At that time, what price will the cherries be sold for?"
In this way, Shen Jin's plan has two layers.
Except for the original orchards, the rest of these 30,000 acres of cultivated land have been converted into vegetable greenhouses.
Overall, 50,000 [Crop Harvesters] and [Crop Monitoring Machines] are needed.
“It’s okay, I can afford it”
Through a large amount of exchange of resources with the government, Shen Jin has achieved basic resource freedom, and various materials have been stocked in underground warehouses.
It’s time to take it out and make contributions!
"It seems that [Traveler's Gloves] need to be given to those who do the work."
This is a big project. Without the ability to cube, it would be too difficult to transform most of the 30,000 acres of cultivated land into vegetable greenhouses.
"Take Lu Daizhen to recruit a group of talents in agriculture, electrical circuits, and architectural planning to start my automated vegetable garden project!"
Outside, the zombie killing team worked hard to clean up the zombies and open up territory.
Inside, Shen Jin leads the team in production, while Shang Qian is deeply involved in monetary policy and fully resumes work and production.
For a time, Home No. 1 was all busy.
