Beneath Deep Space
Chapter 17 The Great Construction Era (2)
Yu Yifeng suddenly felt his nose was a little sour. In the base, these miners can be said to have the lowest status except for death row prisoners.
In order to save money, the previous coalition government usually selected miners in Africa, Southeast Asia and other places, and offered them very low salaries. Generally, they only needed 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars to let them work for a year.
Therefore, these miners simply cannot afford the vegetables produced on the moon base. I can’t bear to part with vegetables that cost a hundred dollars a head... There is also another possibility: I can’t even buy them even if I want to.
Nowadays, the entire base implements a rationing system, and the original economic system has been completely abandoned. Food is provided uniformly for everyone, and everyone eats from a big pot. In order to encourage people's hearts, in addition to the fixed high-energy compressed food, yesterday's meal also added some vegetables. It is because of this that these absentees rush to thank themselves.
People, you can only witness a person's character in times of crisis. Some people are usually so noble, but once they encounter difficulties, they become depressed and give up on themselves; As vigorous as grass and as tenacious as cockroaches.
These miners are such people. When the base was in the most chaos, they still kept to themselves, worked honestly, and provided power guarantee for the base. They are the most honest people.
"Don't worry, everyone, after three months, we will not only have vegetables to eat, but also delicious rice and bread!" Yu Yifeng felt a little moved, "But this requires the efforts of all of us!"
Hearing this, all the miners cheered. Rice and bread are luxuries on the moon. They cannot be bought with money. Only those with status and status can eat them. However, who doesn’t want to eat a bowl of rice and a piece of bread? These are common things on earth, but they think about them day and night.
The young black man suddenly stood upright with his legs, gave a solemn military salute, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Promise to complete the mission!"
…
This is just a detail in production construction. It has to be said that the people at the moon base are of very high quality, and most of them are positive. No one wants to die. It would be too frustrating to starve to death instead of dying from the earth explosion.
There is death behind you. There is no hesitation or hesitation. Only by moving forward can you fight for a bloody path. This kind of situation is the easiest to inspire people to fight like a desperate man.
Many people have turned their grief and anger into motivation for work. There have been several accidents in which people fainted due to working too long hours, but fortunately, no major disasters occurred. Therefore, Yu Yifeng held an emergency meeting and stipulated that working hours should not exceed 14 hours a day, and that work must be done in pairs.
However, there are good things and there are bad things. There are always some people who are decadent in thinking and do not want to work or make progress. For these people, first let their relatives and friends criticize and educate them, and then let them do some simpler work.
But some people really don’t listen to advice, so they can only regret it and reduce the share of food. The base is poor and cannot afford to support idle people...
The ancients said: Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If you can eat without working, other people's motivation will be reduced. This is absolutely not allowed. So, there is nothing to be polite to these people!
The biggest headache for Yu Yifeng now is the "Moon Club" founded by Calvin. Since Calvin accurately predicted the "earth explosion", more and more people have chosen to join the Moon Society.
This can be said to be a strange belief. In Calvin's "prophecy", the Son of God is Yu Yifeng, and he has the dual identity of "superhuman" and leader of the base, so more and more people are beginning to believe it.
This kind of belief is different from illusory religion, but a bit like chasing stars. Yu Yifeng didn't know what to do. Calvin had been arrested. Everything was done spontaneously by people. Perhaps, what people actually need more is a kind of spiritual sustenance.
All in all, it is not a big deal. The "Moon Society" is a relatively loose organization after all. It has almost no anti-human regulations. It even only requires people to believe that "the Son of God will lead mankind out of trouble."
Therefore, the officials did not take special measures and could only let it go.
Perhaps, when mankind comes out of trouble, people will regain their senses, and this phenomenon will slowly disappear.
After appeasing the miners, Yu Yifeng hurried to the grain production base. You must know that all production transformation is for food, and these food are the top priority!
The space on the top floor of the base has basically been cleared, replaced by petri dishes of different sizes, one or two meters long and wide, and generally only about twenty or thirty centimeters in height. You can see scattered greens in the petri dishes. Appear quietly.
These petri dishes are stacked layer by layer in iron racks, saving a lot of space. Each iron frame is equipped with a sun light and temperature control system to ensure that plants can grow normally.
"Captain Yu, these are ordinary early rice seeds. The germination rate is over 96% in 48 hours. They are hybrid seeds provided by Huaxia."
The person speaking was the chief biologist Dr. Roman, the main person in charge of the grain transformation plan. He seemed to be quite satisfied with the progress of the experiment. "The growth cycle of this batch of rice is three months. It is expected to produce 10,000 tons of millet, which is enough." We feed 50,000 people for a year!”
The two wandered around and talked, and Roman kept introducing the current progress.
"These are wheat seedlings, with a growth period of about a hundred days."
"Vegetables are grown in these petri dishes, including green vegetables, shepherd's purse, Chinese cabbage, celery, etc. Rice and wheat are not enough to provide all the nutrients needed by the human body, so we have also expanded the production of vegetables."
"The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is only thirty days. Look, it's already in shape."
Yu Yifeng was happy when he heard this, "So, in a month, we will be able to eat Chinese cabbage?"
"Yes! It is true." Roman said with a smile, "This is the power of technology and the efforts of all of us."
A dozen uniformed staff are busy. They are constantly measuring carbon dioxide concentration, culture solution concentration, recording the growth of seedlings, etc.
People often stop and watch outside the glass door. Watching these seedlings grow up little by little, they feel a little moved in their hearts. Hope in the human heart is a bit like a seedling in a petri dish, growing up little by little with the efforts of everyone.
These people have good self-control, and after watching for a while, they will devote themselves to their work with enthusiasm.
"Dr. Luo Man, let's do this." Yu Yifeng said, "Arrange it so that everyone who works hard can adopt a seedling, but only one seedling, as a commemoration of this agricultural transformation."
Although Roman was not a politician by birth, he guessed Yu Yifeng's intention and said with a smile, "This is simple, just take a sticky note and ask them to sign their name, and just stick it on the petri dish."
The two of them observed the production situation nearby, and there were still a large number of facilities in production. If all projects are completed, enough food can be produced for at least three years!
Yu Yifeng made a simple estimate. Today's agricultural transformation plan is based on the situation where most of the experiments are stagnant. According to the previous algorithm, the economic losses caused are countless.
What's more, this transformation has used a lot of resources that have been reserved in the past. Most people are working overtime. According to the previous economic system, at least two trillion US dollars will be spent in three months!
Two trillion US dollars, the cost of producing 50,000 tons of food... Haha, the key is that it is only a one-time event. People have not established a complete ecosystem, and all carbon dioxide is obtained from industry. No wonder people in the past preferred to transport food from the earth.
"According to the plan, after the agricultural plan is completed, we will have to raise pigs, sheep and other animals, so that humans will have meat to eat, but this cycle will be relatively long... Best, we still have to build an ecosystem. ." Roman said.
Yu Yifeng nodded, "Are the animals in the laboratory well fed?"
"That's for sure! The food is more nutritious than a human being." Roman said. There is nothing we can do about it. These animals have now become rare species. If people want to eat meat, they must protect them.
Yu Yifeng continued to walk forward and saw ten plants that looked like small trees. Each plant had its own petri dish that was two meters square. As he approached, he felt that the temperature had dropped a few degrees.
"This is super rice modified with perfect hormones!" Dr. Roman said proudly. "They will continue to grow until they are seven or eight meters tall. Each one can produce two thousand kilograms of grain."
"This is the infinite power of perfection. When will we humans be able to do this?"
