Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2026 This is outrageous! The fifth-generation greenhouse is so powerful!

northwest.

After Ju Tianrui returned to the area, he quickly devoted himself to the reconstruction work.

However, the reconstruction work is extremely time-consuming and cannot be completed overnight.

But a month after he returned to the Northwest from headquarters, the reconstruction efforts began to show results.

The perimeter wall of the Jiuquan base was reinforced and raised to 20 meters. A layer of intelligent mobile switchboards and ultraviolet lamps was also installed. The basic factories inside the city resumed production, mainly producing steel and other products.

The Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base mobilized most of its manpower and also drew 3000 support personnel from the oil city, all of whom were put into the construction of the agricultural and pastoral base.

Two and a half months after securing the Northwest base, we have finally successfully acquired land in the Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base:
Centered on both banks of the Heihe River and Yunzhong Lake, 50,000 mu of land will be allocated.

The reason why 50,000 mu and more than 4,000 construction workers were able to complete the construction so quickly in two and a half months is mainly due to the specifications of the fence they built.

These walls were not built with foundations, and were only 1.7 meters high and 50 centimeters thick.

And unlike the walls at the headquarters or in the oil city, it doesn't use grouted concrete.

Instead, a combination of red bricks and cement was used.

This kind of fence is like building blocks; it's fast and efficient.

The core consideration in building this kind of wall is to adapt to local conditions.

The Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base is located in the central part of Northwest China, with Wuyuan Mountain to the east and Jiuquan Base to the west.

Sandwiched between two bases.

The Northwest region was originally sparsely populated, and when the big boss occupied the Northwest, he spent years clearing out the zombies there, eliminating the already small number of zombies.

Later, Hu Tian arrived with his zombie army. After being driven away, he swept away the surrounding zombies and left the Northwest for the oil city.

This has resulted in very few zombies in this area.

These walls are primarily for defense against zombie animals; while zombies may still exist, they are relatively few in number.

Unlike places like Dazhangshu or the oil city, it doesn't need to expend a lot of manpower and material resources to build such sturdy walls.

A sustainable helicopter flies over the vast Hexi Corridor.

Below is the Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base under construction.

Looking at the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base, whose outer perimeter had been fenced off, Ju Tianrui smiled and said to Dongtai:

"It's really suitable to have Zheng Hanbing handle construction and Lin Muguang handle greenhouses. The people sent from the oil city are really useful."

"The construction speed here is much faster than that of Wuyuan Mountain."

Dongtai looked at Ju Tianrui's smiling face and was too embarrassed to expose him.

There are fewer than a thousand people on the Wuyuan Mountain side, many of whom are guards, leaving only a few hundred people capable of building.

In addition, in terms of resources, it is far inferior to the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base.

The slow construction speed is normal.

"Go down," Ju Tianrui said.

Dongtai quickly contacted the pilot using a communicator and asked him to land the helicopter.

Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base.

He Liangwei, the captain of the 29th Detachment of the local armed forces stationed there, quickly ran to the helicopter and waited for Ju Tianrui to come down.

Aside from his role as the head of the Northwest region, Ju Tianrui was also the director of the Civil Armed Forces Department.

He is He Liangwei's immediate superior.

Ju Tianrui and Dongtai got off the helicopter and saw He Liangwei, Zheng Hanbing, Lin Muguang and others.

There was even Wei Yun, the head of the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base during the period when powerful figures dominated Northwest China.

As soon as Ju Tianrui got off the helicopter, he said with a smile:

"You guys are doing a great job here, the progress is quite fast."

"I see that hundreds of greenhouses have already been built. Have crops been planted inside them yet?"

Lin Muguang quickly nodded and said:

"The seeds have already been sown. Now, once a greenhouse is built, we will sow them immediately."

"Not bad, not bad." Ju Tianrui was genuinely pleased to hear Lin Muguang say that.

The Northwest region is also short of food, especially after the last major battle with the oil city.

Severe food shortage.

If it weren't for the transport teams bringing the grain, so many people in the Northwest would probably be starving.

The most crucial issue for any branch base is food.

Without enough food to feed the population of the base, talking about anything else is nonsense.

Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base is the most suitable place for grain cultivation in the entire Northwest. The area is vast and flat, and the crops are irrigated by meltwater from the Qilian Mountains.

Melted snow from the Qilian Mountains forms the Heihe River.

Their planting bases are built on both sides of the Heihe River.

He Liangwei, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and said:
"Distinguished leaders, it's hot outside, let's go inside and talk."

"Wait a minute, I'll go check out the greenhouse first." Ju Tianrui declined He Liangwei's suggestion.

He walked straight toward the nearest greenhouse to see what was going on inside.

Although he wasn't involved in agriculture, he had seen what greenhouses looked like in both the headquarters base and the oil city.

Even if you've never seen pork, you've at least seen pigs run.

He could probably tell if the greenhouses in the Northwest were different from those at the headquarters.

Reaching the entrance to the greenhouse, Ju Tianrui rotated the disc on top and pushed the gate open.

The fifth-generation greenhouse is quite different from the previous greenhouses.

Its sealing, sturdiness, and intelligence are all much higher than before.

The outer layer uses greenhouse polycarbonate panels, which have been improved over the years to develop a polycarbonate panel best suited for post-apocalyptic environments.

This type of polycarbonate sheet is not only lighter than the previous ones, but also more resistant to wind, snow and pressure.

In addition, the overall frame material no longer uses steel, but is entirely made of aluminum alloy.

It has the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing.

Upon entering the greenhouse, Ju Tianrui was immediately drawn to the lush greenery.

The rows of corn seedlings, which had grown to about half a meter tall, stood neatly in rows.

Above these corn seedlings, the pipes were also arranged in a very neat manner, with a sprayer at regular intervals.

Above the sprayer is an ultraviolet lamp.

Since it is daytime and there is plenty of sunlight, the ultraviolet lamps are not turned on.

After walking a few steps, you can see a central control console hanging on the wall.

There is a sign above that displays basic information about this greenhouse:
[Northwest Greenhouse No. 23]

Area: 10 mu

[Crops to grow: Corn]

In addition to this basic information.

There is also an electronic dashboard with buttons to adjust the entire greenhouse.

Temperature: 27℃

Humidity: 69%

[Light intensity: Medium]

Wind speed: Light breeze, level 2

In addition, there are other systems similar to irrigation systems on it. The water and fertilizer integrated machine automatically adjusts the fertilizer ratio and can support timed, cyclical, and remote irrigation modes.

The alarm system is automatically triggered when environmental parameters exceed preset values.

and many more.

Ju Tianrui looked at the dashboard, turned to Lin Muguang, and asked:

"Which generation of greenhouse is this?"

Lin Muguang replied, "This is the fifth generation, the latest version of the greenhouse produced at the camphor tree base."

"It can intelligently monitor the environment inside the greenhouse and provide alarms." Although Ju Tianrui had seen the greenhouses in the oil city and headquarters base before, what he saw was the fourth generation.

I never expected the fifth generation to have changed so much!

I silently gave it a thumbs up: awesome.

"Why is there wind control? Can wind promote crop growth?" Ju Tianrui asked.

Lin Muguang nodded and said:

"Yes, suitable wind speed can promote air circulation, enhance photosynthetic efficiency, and also help with pollination."

"The latest set of greenhouses at the headquarters is indeed very powerful. Before the apocalypse, I also specialized in green ecological planting, which involved greenhouses."

The greenhouse system we're using now surpasses the advanced level of greenhouses from before the apocalypse.

"With these greenhouses, we can manage an average of five greenhouses per person."

One greenhouse covers 10 mu (approximately 1.65 acres), so five greenhouses would cover 50 mu (approximately 8.2 acres).

This is very scary.

Because one person can perform all operations such as sowing, pest control, and harvesting, as well as manage the temperature and humidity.

The growth cycle of crops grown in these greenhouses is extremely fast; they can produce grain in about three to four months.

Ignoring seasons, climate, temperature changes, natural disasters, and other external factors.

On average, fifty mu of land can produce the same amount of grain as or even more from 200 mu of land in the Northwest.

After all, the crops here are carefully cultivated, with fertilizers, and ample sunlight and water.

One person is equivalent to being able to cultivate 200 acres of crops.

This planting efficiency would have been an outrageous figure even before the apocalypse, and it's even more outrageous now that it's in the post-apocalyptic world.

After hearing Lin Muguang's words, Ju Tianrui nodded with great satisfaction and said:
"Very good. How many greenhouses can be built here?"

Lin Muguang calculated for a moment and then replied:
"The entire plantation covers an area of ​​5 mu."

The greenhouse area is expected to be 3 mu, with 3000 greenhouses that can be built. Only 600 to 800 people are needed to manage these greenhouses.

If all construction is completed and the crops are planted, the annual grain production is expected to reach 3.8 to 4 tons.

It can feed 16 to 22 people.

Ju Tianrui and Dongtai exchanged a glance. They could support at least 16 people!

This number filled Wei Yun, who had followed in, with a profound sense of emotion.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "This is absolutely outrageous!"

He used to be the manager in charge of the Zhangye agricultural and livestock base under the big boss.

When they first started growing crops on this land, the annual grain yield was unstable.

If you're lucky, the crops can be harvested before a natural disaster strikes, and the annual yield can feed 20,000 to 30,000 people.

However, if a major natural disaster occurs, the entire agricultural and pastoral base may be destroyed, and the annual output may only be able to feed a few thousand people.

This is why the Northwest Base faced a sharp increase in food pressure in the later stages.

Before the oil city came to the Northwest, it had just experienced a major natural disaster that dealt a devastating blow to the agricultural and pastoral base in Zhangye, Northwest China.

But now.

In the same area, the oil city is able to grow enough food to feed nearly 20 people!
A difference of more than ten times!

It's absolutely terrifying!
However, he didn't think Lin Muguang was bragging at all.

During this period, he studied and researched the greenhouses in the oil city in depth, and they were truly amazing!
Their greenhouses are truly impressive and admirable.

The design of the greenhouse took into account factors such as wind and snow accumulation.

Furthermore, the internal skeletal structure is at least five times denser than the greenhouses they built before, providing a much stronger defense.

And their polycarbonate sheets, I don't know how they did it, they can't be broken even with stones, even if you hit them with all your might, you can only leave a shallow mark.

This way, it can protect against hail.

Even more outrageous is that they have to dig the foundation for their greenhouses to a depth of 6 meters!
Even a fairly high-standard greenhouse before the apocalypse only had a foundation of 1.5 meters!
Those concrete load-bearing columns were so thick that they were practically as solid as those used to build a house.

Brother, this is a greenhouse, not a place for people to live!

The foundation is much deeper than the houses where people live.

Outrageous!

That's fucking outrageous!

With such a solid foundation, it's no wonder that this greenhouse was able to withstand natural disasters like typhoons and blizzards, as Zheng Hanbing and the others mentioned.

These are only what can be seen on the surface of this greenhouse.

Not to mention the intelligent equipment they use in this greenhouse, which allows for precise crop cultivation, ensuring the highest possible yield in the smallest possible area.

This was a devastating blow to Wei Yun, a blow that seemed to transcend dimensionality.

If the planting technology from their Northwest base was a 1, then the planting technology brought by the oil city is an 80.

What he didn't know was that the camphor tree base had been deeply involved in greenhouse cultivation since its establishment.

Eight years have passed since then.

Over the years, Anya, Ding Jiu, Kong Shuang, He Bing, and others have collaborated across departments to continuously optimize and improve the system.

And it has been continuously upgraded and updated amidst countless natural disasters.

Once a new generation of greenhouses is introduced, the old greenhouses will be replaced in sequence.

This is a truly practical fifth-generation greenhouse, honed through countless natural disasters.

No wonder the Northwest Base lost in the confrontation with the Oil City.

Our grain production capacity is far behind.

Over the years, the camphor tree base has actually been engaged in farming, deeply cultivating the land.

As they planted, more and more grain was produced.

While planting, you accidentally kill all the enemies.

After visiting the greenhouse, Ju Tianrui's first words upon emerging from it were:

"The headquarters' greenhouse is really impressive!"

He looked at Lin Muguang and asked, "How many greenhouses have been built so far?"

Lin Muguang replied, "104 seats."

Upon hearing this, Ju Tianrui recalled the 3000 greenhouses that Lin Muguang had mentioned earlier.

By this calculation, only one-thirtieth of a greenhouse has been built.

The difference is too big.

"Why are there so few? Is there a problem somewhere?" Ju Tianrui asked in return.

Lin Muguang looked at Zheng Hanbing, who was in charge of the construction of the Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base.

He was in charge of the construction of the greenhouse, its supporting buildings, and the surrounding walls.

Seeing that Ju Tianrui and the others were all looking at her, Zheng Hanbing smiled wryly:
"I can't do anything about it. The greenhouse materials haven't arrived yet. Right now, we can only lay the foundation first. As soon as the building materials arrive, we can start assembling and building it immediately."

"We can't produce the materials and equipment for these greenhouses ourselves; we can only transport them from the oil city."

Ju Tianrui frowned; Zheng Hanbing's words made sense.

The materials for greenhouses cannot be produced not only in the Northwest, but also in the Oil City and the North. Only the headquarters base can produce them.

It seems we still need to urge the transportation team to make more trips to the northwest and transport the greenhouse materials over as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would delay the construction speed of the Northwest Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Base.

Thinking of this, he said to Zheng Hanbing:
"Okay, I understand the situation you described. I'll urge headquarters to transport the materials over as soon as possible. You can start building the others here."

"Are there any other problems? With the recent hot weather, will there be a water shortage?"

Zheng Hanbing shook her head and said:

"No, that won't happen. There's water from the Qilian Mountains, and even more snowmelt during the hot weather, so there's no problem irrigating the crops. Even if it gets hotter, there shouldn't be a shortage of water resources."

"That's good." Ju Tianrui looked up, thinking of the situation at the Jiuquan base, where they were facing a water shortage and were still trying to find a solution.

However, the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base has such a large area of ​​planting land, and it has no shortage of water even though it needs more water.

No wonder they set up their grain production base here.

Not only is the land here spacious and flat, but it also has abundant water resources.
