In Zhao Yun’s design, there are planting racks in the greenhouse.
Now that the drawings were ready, Qiao Xuejun sorted them out and told Zhao Yun about her idea: "I plan to grow spinach on this shelf. Can it bear the weight?"
You need to put a planting box on the wooden shelf and plant vegetables in it. Spinach requires a lot of water, so the weight is amazing.
Zhao Yun: "As long as you don't plant watermelons, it'll be fine. This is just one layer, it's very stable and won't fall over, don't worry."
After Zhao Yun made his promise, he asked Qiao Xuejun, "Can spinach really be grown?"
Unlike potatoes and pumpkins, spinach is a real green leafy vegetable, which is really a novelty. Just thinking about it, Zhao Yun recalled the sweet taste of spinach in hot pot.
If it is really possible to grow it, the quality of life will be improved to a higher level!
Spinach can also supplement iron and help correct anemia. The food in the base is not in short supply now, but it was in short supply before. In addition, there are many people who come to seek refuge, and many of them are malnourished and have anemia symptoms. Spinach is a good thing.
Qiao Xuejun: "It can definitely be planted."
Zhao Yun: "Stop talking, I really want to eat it."
Qiao Xuejun also told Zhao Yun about the needs for heating and supplementary lighting in the greenhouse, which needed to be taken into consideration in the design.
Rapeseed and spinach do not have high requirements for light and can grow in 4 hours of light. The light time in recent times is about 4 hours, but now it is autumn and the light time will be shortened. However, if covered with fish skin tarpaulin, there will be no light at all.
Artificial lighting is required.
After some discussion, Zhao Yun and Qiao Xuejun decided on the final greenhouse rendering.
Qiao Xuejun was quite satisfied.
Zhao Yun said: "I will call everyone from the carpentry department and the tailoring department to hold a meeting."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Okay."
All of this has to be done by carpenters and tailors.
Kuang Qianli at the side interrupted and said, "We can call our little carpenter over to join us. She will probably be willing to do so."
Qiao Xuejun was unsure: "...I'll go home and ask her later."
She didn't think it would be better if the carpenter came over. It was warm at home, and she liked to sleep in in the morning. People had to be on time at work here, and she might not be able to get up. Besides, she was not idle at home, she was making a brewing machine.
But we should still follow her wishes and go back to ask her first.
Zhao Yun called for help, and soon the carpenter from the base and tailor Li came over with an apprentice.
Everyone sat down in the meeting room of the Engineering Department. Qiao Xuejun started by quickly stating what she was going to do. Tailor Li had already known about it and was the first to say, "No problem."
"Just cut and sew according to the shape and size on this drawing, right?"
Qiao Xuejun: “Yes.”
Tailor Li: "No problem. I have eight people here, but half of them have to do daily affairs. If the remaining four people work hard, the construction period will be about one month."
Another carpenter took the blueprint and looked at it.
Although he knew about this matter temporarily, there was a lot of carpentry work in the base, and most of them were done on a temporary basis and required speed.
He understood it quickly: "Just build a frame? If the arch is made entirely of carpentry, it will take some time. I see that the arched surface above is supported by bamboo strips?"
The bamboo strips are naturally flexible and can be bent into this shape.
The carpenter said, "The bamboo strips can't bear the weight. They might collapse after a while."
Zhao Yun said: "So we increased the quantity. I calculated that it would be enough to support the company for half a year."
The carpenter was puzzled: "A greenhouse that can be used for half a year? What can be grown in it? Bean sprouts?"
Zhao Yun: "What are you thinking? The defenses at the foot of the mountain have been almost completed in half a year. They have all been replaced with steel. We don't need these bamboo strips anymore."
The carpenter nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"However, this greenhouse has a simple framework, and the planting racks and planting boxes inside are a bit wasteful of materials."
Qiao Xuejun said: "Let's do this first. The lord's fishing team is about to set off. By then, maybe they can salvage some supermarket shelves or something from the city, so we won't have to waste this effort."
Carpenter: "Okay."
He also calculated: "I have 8 people here, and I'm busy recently, so I can only squeeze out 4 people to do this job. If it's just the frame, it will take seven days. Add all the planting racks and planting boxes, it will take another month."
He said, looking at Zhao Yun: "Everyone is working on the greenhouse project, and the speed of other projects will slow down."
Zhao Yun: "I know. I won't rush you. I'll prioritize building the greenhouse."
Qiao Xuejun emphasized: "Another point is to be careful not to damage the crops in the field during construction."
The carpenter nodded: "That goes without saying, of course." They all knew that rapeseed was planted in the experimental field and that it could be used to produce oil next year.
He sighed and said, "It's been a long time since I had a proper bite of oily food. We are all counting the days until the rapeseed field grows."
Military rations do contain a little fat, but it is so dry in the mouth that there is no such feeling at all.
"That's right." Tailor Li said, "The girls in our studio, in addition to going to the zoo, also like to go to the experimental field when they have free time."
It is said that looking at these things, one can feel the breath of life.
·
After discussing the matter with the carpentry and tailoring departments, Qiao Xuejun officially decided on the matter and went home to select crops that could be grown vertically.
If you want to plant vertically, you can't be too tall, and your roots can't be too deep. Crops that easily fall over are not suitable.
For example, rice, wheat and rapeseed are not suitable for vertical cultivation.
Small leafy vegetables such as lettuce and Chinese cabbage, or strawberries and blueberries will do.
