Chapter 860 Alliance Research Institute
At 3:30 in the morning, the remaining ice on the ground melted, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the temperature rose rapidly. The stars in the sky seemed to be grains that were hit by the wind and hail before they could be harvested, hanging in the sky where the lords could not reach.
In the territories of Districts 1 and 3 in the north, some people cried, some cursed, some wailed for help, some rescued the wounded, some rushed to harvest food, and more people stood in the thick and suffocating night, as if dead, motionless.
"Ah————"
The standing people suddenly roared, waving the farm tools in their hands, wantonly venting the despair and anger accumulated for eleven years.
Ryoko, the auditory evolver who was rushing to harvest wheat in Territory No. 3, straightened up and looked to the east, "Someone in Territory No. 4 is out of control."
Out of control means that the content of the killing element in the person's body exceeds the standard, the brain is eroded by the killing element, and irreversible damage occurs. Even if it is rescued, there will be sequelae. Therefore, out of control means death for most people.
"It's better to vent before dying of losing control than to die of frustration." Er Yong muttered, and continued to use his sickle to cut the wheat ears on the top of the wheat plants that fell to the ground.
Many wheat ears were smashed by hail, and Er Yong felt uncomfortable watching them, and wanted to roar a few times.
Xia Qing's tinnitus symptoms were much lighter, so she clearly heard the desperate roars from the No. 4 territory, but she didn't raise her head, because the people who roared were not Zhao's mother and Zhao Ze.
Under the illumination of the overhead light, Xia Qing quickly harvested the wheat ears.
Harvesting one minute earlier means that the wheat grains will be eroded by the rain for one minute less, and the quality will be higher.
"Captain Tan, someone in the No. 4 territory has lost control and has been controlled. Request for support." Zhao Ze reported the danger in a hoarse voice.
"Be there in ten minutes." Tan Junjie's still calm and serious voice cheered up the lords who had been fighting the natural disaster for five and a half hours.
The X-2 in the field has been harvested. Without the X nutrient solution to replenish energy, the lords are exhausted.
More people means easier work.
It took less than half an hour for the eleven people in Territory No. 3 to harvest the one-acre yellow light wheat that was hit by hail.
After sending off Hu Zifeng's team and Huo Zhun who came to help, Xia Qing used a micro-tillage machine to pull a cart of wheat ears home, and then threw the bundles of wheat ears on the roof of the rack building and covered them with a drying net.
The yard was full of weeds, and there was no place to dry the wheat ears.
Then, Xia Qing went downstairs, pulled open the wooden board blocking the window, and then opened the window for ventilation.
After this sudden natural disaster, the lords cried about the loss of farmland in the channel, but no one mentioned the house, because the houses in the territories were basically not seriously damaged except for those that were hit by trees.
Living in the years of natural disasters, everyone has long been accustomed to being prepared for extreme weather at any time. Outside the windows of the houses in the residential area, there are baffles made of wood or iron sheets. When extreme weather comes, the baffles can be quickly put up to block the strong wind and hail outside the window.
Xia Qing's house also has baffles, but when the disaster broke out, she was busy rescuing the greenhouse and did not block the windows in time, so the house was blown into a mess by the strong wind, and two windows were deformed and the glass was broken.
However, this is not a big deal. There were no casualties in the No. 3 territory, which made Xia Qing very satisfied.
In this natural disaster, Xia Qing deeply realized the shortcoming of his territory - insufficient manpower.
But the actual situation of the No. 3 territory is here, and it is impossible to increase the permanent population. Therefore, there are only two options in front of Xia Qing:
One is to build a standardized greenhouse, and the other is to improve the way of retracting and releasing the rainproof cloth in the existing greenhouse and realize automation as much as possible.
A standardized greenhouse with an internal volume of 1.5 acres has a construction and material cost of more than 350,000 yuan. After it is built, it will cost 3,000 to 5,000 points per month to maintain the normal operation of the greenhouse. The high construction and operation costs meant that the base planting center only dared to build a few standardized greenhouses for raising seedlings of crops, not to mention the territory.
In addition to the high cost, building standardized greenhouses in the territory was too eye-catching, which did not meet Xia Qing's pursuit of a low-key and happy life.
So, she chose the second one.
Xia Qing pressed the intercom button to break the depressed state of the alliance members, "Uncle Huo, are you there?"
"Yes." Huo Lei immediately went online, and the alliance members also stopped their work and stood in the dark to listen carefully.
After the natural disaster rescue just now, Xia Qing's prestige in the alliance has been improved again. The alliance members know that Xia Qing never talks nonsense, and she must have something to do when she goes online.
"Uncle Huo, is there any way to make the rainproof cloth of the greenhouse like the insulation curtain of the greenhouse, and realize mechanized retraction and release?"
If this problem can be solved, when dealing with sudden extreme natural disasters such as extreme winds and hail, Xia Qing will not be in a hurry even if there is only one person in the territory.
Huo Lei is not only good at forging iron, he can also develop and manufacture various protective gear. Protective gear for the human body is much more complicated than the equipment for pulling and retracting the rainproof cloth in the greenhouse.
When the lords who were immersed in pain just now heard Xia Qing and Huo Lei talking about this, they immediately perked up.
"I was thinking about this just now." Huo Lei replied in a muffled voice, "The rainproof cloth is not as heavy as the greenhouse insulation curtain. It has to be pressed with a film pressing line. It is difficult to achieve automatic retraction and release, but if it only realizes rapid lowering, the design is not difficult. The main problem is materials and cost."
Shi Zhong, who was also short of labor in the territory, also pressed the button, "Brother Huo, can you use a pulley?"
Huo Lei replied, "Pulley is one way."
Jiang Ying, who was following Tan Qi, also joined the discussion, "I think we can use local materials, and use high-hardness animal bones, wood and stones instead of steel, so that the cost can be reduced a lot."
Tang Huai reminded, "It is best not to use animal bones, which can easily attract the revenge of wild beasts."
Everyone started a heated discussion. After more than ten minutes, a research team consisting of Huo Lei, Shi Zhong and Jiang Ying was established. The three were very confident that they would create a device that automatically and quickly lowered the rainproof cloth before the third rainstorm.
So, Xia Qing, the leader of the Territory Alliance, issued a notice in the alliance group: first allocate 1500 points of research funds to the research team, and increase it if it is not enough. After the research is successful, the team will be rewarded with 500-1500 points according to the contribution.
Everyone quickly replied in the group that the rapid retraction and release of the rainproof cloth is a problem that every territory needs to solve urgently. These expenses are shared by all territories.
The research team established in the early morning after the tragic natural disaster was the prototype of the Hui Three Territory Alliance Research Institute, which was famous throughout Hui City.
After solving the major problems, the lords swept away the decadence and cleaned up the greenhouses and crops damaged by hail with full enthusiasm.
After a simple cleaning of the house, Xia Qing entered the No. 1 shed on Gaopo and opened the protective film to pick up spinach seeds.
The strong wind just now, before Xia Qing had time to put down the rainproof cloth of the greenhouse, hit the protective film of the Gaoyi Element Green Light Spinach in the No. 1 shed hard, causing the spinach that was already in the mature stage to explode.
The spinach seeds were fine, but the stems and leaves that were beaten into a sieve needed to be packed up as soon as possible, otherwise they would quickly deteriorate when the temperature rose.
Because every spinach seed with sharp edges picked up means at least 100 points are credited; every kilogram of spinach stems and leaves collected means 280 points are credited, this job is really exciting!
While Xia Qing was happily harvesting spinach, the freeloader red squirrel brought its two children to shuttle between the tree hole and shed No. 12, picking up wheat seeds that were hit by hail.
No humans blocked it, no rodents came to compete with it, and no natural enemies found it. The freeloader was so excited that sparks were coming out of his eyes.
Children, hurry up! Move every seed that fell from the plant back to the tree hole!
The eldest sheep chewing the cud beside Xia Qing heard the noise and moved his ears.
The second wolfhound patrolling the territory came to the side of shed No. 12 and showed his white fangs to the red squirrel with its cheeks full of wheat seeds.
