Chapter 22 Breeding Factory

Chapter 22 Breeding Factory
6 month 22 day.

The flames on the mountains that can be directly observed from the shelter have basically subsided.

But the dark clouds covering the sky did not dissipate, but became lower and heavier. Even at noon when the sun was at its brightest, it was so dark that it seemed as if it had reached dusk.

The only good news is that the outside temperature is no longer rising wildly. It has always remained between 62 and 65 degrees, entering a relatively stable period.

Also on this day.

As Su Wu uses the survival points, the construction waste paved on the ground is upgraded into a standard concrete layer that is integrated into the ground.

The excavation work of the three underground floors of the entire shelter has been officially completed.

"The third underground level of the shelter."

“Let’s call it a breeding factory.”

Temperature cool control center.

Through the huge screen on the console, I watched the three-dimensional map of the shelter gradually take shape as it was drawn in real time by artificial intelligence.

Su Wu felt a sense of accomplishment as he saw the seedlings he had planted with his own hands growing healthily.

His shelter has become more and more perfect.

Admire the new shelter map for a while.

Su Wu operated the mouse, opened a document that had already been completed, and transferred the design drawings inside to the artificial intelligence, adding the next stage of work tasks for it.

The newly added third floor.

It will focus on breeding, specializing in the production of three types of meat and egg products: chicken, duck and fish, which are relatively easy to breed.

This plan seems simple.

In fact, the various processes inside are the most complicated in the entire shelter.

Because it is almost equivalent to recreating a closed small ecosystem.

From the cultivation of feed, the regulation of temperature and light, to the breeding, feeding and epidemic prevention of chickens, ducks and fish, every link is closely related to each other. If there is a mistake in any link, it may cause the entire factory to shut down and collapse. It may even affect other areas of the shelter.

"There are breeding rooms, chicken houses, duck houses, fish ponds, and slaughtering production lines."

Su Wu's eyes swept across the buildings on the design drawing, separated by concrete walls.

These functional areas occupy the most important part of the breeding factory. Except for the fish pond which has a space of 100 square meters, all the remaining buildings, including the living area that can accommodate up to 2,500 chickens and ducks, also only have a total area of ​​100 square meters.

The remaining 500 square meters of space are all used to place soilless cultivation equipment similar to shelves, which is responsible for growing barley seedlings and other high-yield and short-growth-cycle feed for chickens and ducks.

Judging from the area occupied alone, the breeding factory on the third floor is more like a place dedicated to farming than the hydroponic farm on the first floor of the shelter.

And there is nothing we can do about it.

In the absence of being able to purchase feed from outside, only by building such a huge planting area can the normal operation of the entire breeding factory be met.

"We don't have any live chickens, ducks or fish yet. We will have to purchase them from other shelters later."

“There’s no need to rush the renovation of the third floor.”

"We can just move the engineering robot from the Mechanical Manufacturing Center and the construction robot that serves as a security guard over there to slowly start the construction."

“The original engineering team.”

"We can continue to dig the fourth underground floor."

Although the renovation of the breeding factory is a cumbersome process, with the design drawings and artificial intelligence, there is almost nothing that Su Wu really needs to worry about.

After a final check of the design drawings to fill in any gaps out of caution.

Su Wu skipped the third floor and started to have the engineering team dig the fourth underground floor.

At any time, it's always a good idea to try to expand the size of the shelter downwards. Night.

The network showed signs of recovery.

Su Wu could receive some news from the outside world through the Internet intermittently.

At this time, a large number of official personnel ventured out of the underground shelters to carry out emergency maintenance on some important facilities and key transportation channels.

Some private and corporate shelters in danger.

They can even receive official assistance, including but not limited to overall transfer to official shelters, support with a certain amount of clean water, first aid medicines, etc.

However, the power supply in Jianghe City is still interrupted, and there is no possibility of restoration in the foreseeable future.

Electricity has become one of the most precious resources in various shelters.

After collecting some preliminary intelligence, Su Wu began to try to contact other people.

In the chat software, in the large doomsday group for ordinary people, almost all the members' avatars were gray. However, in the small group composed of some owners of private shelters in Jianghe City, most of the people were online at this time, and the communication was very active.

"Brother Su is online."

"Is everything going well over there?"

Seeing Su Wu showing up in the group, Wang Jianguo, the director of the Iron Shelter, who was most familiar with him, greeted him.

"Fortunately, I'm in the suburbs, and the shelter is surrounded by gravel beaches."

“There was basically no danger.”

Su Wu typed a reply.

Speaking of safety, the area around his farmyard is definitely one of the safest places near Jianghe City. Far away from the river, the terrain is high and open, and except for a few abandoned rural self-built houses, the surrounding area is mostly gravel that is not easy to burn.

If we ignore the toxic gases brought by the fire, let alone his shelter that contains high-tech technology, even if an ordinary person digs a vegetable cellar, they can rest assured and get through it.

"You are lucky."

"It's a pity for Lao Li and his friends. The shelter was built right inside the mountain. They were suffocated by the fire and poisonous gas for several days. It is said that when the official rescue team rushed over, they didn't find a single living person."

Wang Jianguo sighed, with some sadness in his words.

The Lao Li he was talking about is also a wealthy man in the group.

It is said that they bought an air-raid shelter covering an area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters in the mountains as the main shelter, and invested more than 1 billion yuan in renovation. In terms of configuration and luxury, it is among the top few in the entire group.

It’s a pity that fate is fickle. This wealthy man, who theoretically should have been able to survive the longest and most prosperous doomsday, couldn’t even survive the first wave of disasters after the doomsday began.

My luck is really bad.

Su Wu watched in silence, feeling relieved again.

You know, he once thought that the most ideal shelter location was also an air-raid shelter in the mountains. He had to give up because he had no money and no channels to buy it.

Now it seems that being poor is not necessarily a bad thing.

"How's your side, bro? I remember the terrain there is pretty good, too."

"What's the use of a good terrain?"

"The fire still spread to the windbreak outside the factory and burned down several factory buildings."

"Plus, we haven't made any preparations to prevent poison gas."

"More than a hundred people were knocked down at once."
