Chapter 113 112. A bumper harvest of plants, tears in the eyes

After the protective door is strengthened, Ankai’s next step is to strengthen the overall structure of the shelter.

This time, his strengthened targets are mainly aimed at natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Simply put, it is to increase the columns and beams, the overall strength of the Ascension building.

Because the shelter is built inside the mountain, heat induction and noise detection are difficult to detect through the mountain. The main reason is to prevent it from the front entrance, so even if it is strengthened, it is not necessary to strengthen the entire building. What needs to be strengthened as a whole is nothing more than earthquake prevention. In theory, underground buildings have stronger earthquake resistance capabilities, but specific examples show that even underground buildings require certain measures and enhancements to have better earthquake resistance capabilities.

Whether this place is an earthquake-prone area or not, An Kai doesn’t know. He asked Kent before, and Kent said that the city has not experienced an earthquake in decades.

But now is different.

It is possible that a nuclear explosion can induce an earthquake.

An Kai forgot where he had seen similar texts before, saying that within two months after the nuclear explosion, within 20 to 30 kilometers of the explosion site, there were usually multiple earthquakes. The reason is also very simple, mainly because the huge energy released at the moment of the explosion of nuclear weapons causes a chain reaction of energy in the earth’s crust. Now the shelter has not experienced an earthquake, but it is not difficult to strengthen it. Earthquake-proof strengthening only needs to add some support structures to reinforced concrete. At present, the shelter has enough steel, and this work can also begin.

There are also two specific upgrade plans.

They are earthquake-proof and explosion-proof. Even a mountain can be blasted in the correct way.

Explosion-proofing is more troublesome, so what Ankai can do at present is to prevent earthquakes.

According to the system’s prompts, seismic strengthening only needs to add a beam every few meters, and add two columns below each beam.

However, if you do this, some devices need to be moved. Of course, this is not a problem. It is just a simple adjustment. There are very few parts that need to be removed, and most of them just need to be moved.

The plants in the plantation are mature today.

Of course, they do not mature at the same time, and the maturity time varies between different crops.

Of course, it can’t be completely synchronized with the real world, and that would be too slow.

In the system planting box, the Chinese cabbage is the fastest to mature. It can mature in 27 days. A single seed can produce a Chinese cabbage of nearly ten kilograms, and each tree is exactly the same, just like a mold. Carved out in general. In normal Chinese cabbage, the outermost leaves are too old, so the outermost leaves are usually peeled off after being cut from the ground. However, this is not a normal age. There was almost a food crisis before the shelter, which is also safe. Kai and the others went out to take an adventure before they survived the storm. Now it’s hard to have something to eat. If it weren’t for the roots of the cabbage, everyone would love to cook the roots of the cabbage together.

Cabbage is also called Bai Cai in the folk, which means “the dish of the common people”, and also refers to the “king of all kinds of vegetables”. It has a particularly high edible value. From the perspective of nutrition, Chinese cabbage is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and antioxidants, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and help digestion. Moreover, the vitamin C content of Chinese cabbage is higher than that of apples and pears, which is at the same level as that of citrus, and its calories are much lower.

In short, the successful harvest of this dish is a big event for the shelter.

But this is already yesterday.

The ripe dish today is potatoes.

Potatoes are even more powerful.

In the past life, potatoes were the fourth most important food crop in the world, second only to wheat, rice and corn.

The maturation time of potatoes is 29 days, which is one day longer than that of cabbage, and the yield is much better than that of cabbage.

The planting box of the system has the effect of accelerating the growth rate and output of Ascension and eliminating pests. One planting box can grow three cabbage, which can produce nearly 30 kilograms in total. But potatoes produce more than cabbage. Although each planting box can only grow three potatoes, each potato seedling can produce more than ten fist-sized potatoes, and each potato weighs at least one catty.

And the value of potatoes is not only in terms of yield.

Potatoes are rich and complete in nutrients, and their rich vitamin C content far exceeds that of food crops; their higher protein and sugar content greatly exceeds that of ordinary vegetables. Its protein molecular structure is basically the same as that of the human body, and it is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body, and its absorption utilization rate is almost as high as 100%. Every 100 grams of potatoes also contains 502 mg of potassium, which is a rare high-potassium food that helps lower blood pressure; carotenoids are natural antioxidants that can protect the heart and scavenge free radicals.

In short, potatoes are rich in nutrients, and the most important thing is that potatoes are plants rich in carbohydrates and can serve as staple foods.

This is what cabbage can’t compare to anyway.

Carbohydrates are essential nutrients for the human body. At present, in addition to potatoes, wheat grown in several planting boxes in the shelter can have the same effect. In the apocalyptic environment, as long as it is food, it is very important, not to mention that it can replenish carbon water. Food too. Potatoes are produced in large quantities. They can replace staple foods and serve as vegetables. They have various methods and have a sweet taste. They are the most important food in the sanctuary of the doomsday world, and none of them.

The harvest of the two major vegetables made everyone in the sanctuary smile.

At dinner, An Kai did it himself.

Made stir-fried cabbage, cold-tempered cabbage, sweet and spicy cabbage, and cabbage soup. Potatoes are used to make shredded potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato chips, and potato cakes. Finally, with some canned meat, the deliciousness of this meal is beyond everyone’s imagination.

“too delicious!”

Curry cried as he ate.

“Hey, don’t you think it’s just cabbage and potatoes.”

An Kai looked at Curry’s show of Yan Yi, and said helplessly.

“What do you know! Do you know how difficult it is for me to go to the bathroom recently? I have been constipated for several days!”

Curry shouted with tears in his eyes.

Others put down their chopsticks, spoons and forks one after another, all of them were disgusted by him.

Although it was disgusting, everyone didn’t hate Curry because of it. On the contrary, they showed empathy.

What An Kai could say, could only shake his head speechlessly.

His body is affected by the system and will not experience constipation, but other people are different.

It has been a long time since the shelter has eaten vegetables and fresh fruits.

Although everyone has canned fruits to eat, if you eat a little bit less, you can only eat less. Needless to say, the vegetables are gone.

If you don’t take in plant fiber, the speed of gastrointestinal peristalsis will be slowed down, and it is normal to cause constipation. Every day when it comes to going to the toilet, everyone is bitter, just like going to the execution ground. But I still have to go, and I can’t skip or eat less because of this, so the recent incident has made everyone particularly distressed.

But now it’s better. After eating vegetables, I believe it won’t be long before everyone’s stomachs will be adjusted. And eating canned food every day, the taste is not acceptable to ordinary people, with cabbage, it is definitely a big adjustment.

Not to mention Curry, a few little guys and a few ladies also have red eyes. The more they have experienced good life and hardships, the more they feel that this life is commendable.

So that when everyone was eating, they looked at An Kai with admiration, and An Kai almost couldn’t put down his chopsticks.
