The last human in the universe

Chapter 7 Livestock
After entering the isolation cabin, pressurizing it, and taking off his spacesuit, Zhao Changxing finally saw the vegetables he was thinking about.

At this moment, the spinach is only about a palm high, emerald green, obviously still in the early stage.If high yield is pursued, it is obviously inappropriate to harvest and eat at this moment.But Zhao Changxing couldn't wait any longer.

He's had enough of starchy food all day long.

Originally, the soilless cultivation workshop was equipped with supporting automatic harvesting equipment, but Zhao Changxing did not install them.Temporary buildings, how to save trouble, how to come quickly.

Now, it can only be harvested manually.

Using a small sickle, Zhao Changxing carefully cut off a small handful of spinach, thought about it, and tried to cut off a few more, but he hesitated when the sickle was stretched out, and finally gave up the plan.

At this moment, he has about five or six young spinach plants in his hand, weighing only about one catty.Carefully put it into a portable incubator, Zhao Changxing put on a space suit in the isolation cabin, and carried the box to the Falcon [-] spacecraft.

The spacecraft lifted off and carried him back to the Ignition spacecraft.

After taking the starch generated in the reactor, he walked quickly to the kitchen.First wash the spinach, then throw it into boiling water and blanch it, then take it out and cut it into sections.The starch is made into a paste and poured into the boiling water pot, boiled, and then the spinach cut into sections is added to it.

After a while, it was out of the pot, salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. were added, and Zhao Changxing couldn't wait to bring it to the table.

At this moment, there are a few pieces of green spinach floating in the monotonous starch porridge, which immediately improves the style and looks much more delicious.

Carefully scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth, the once familiar taste of vegetable fiber spread into his brain, filling his mind with joy.

The spinach weighing a pound before blanching was paired with starch porridge, and he swallowed it like this.

This was the most satisfying meal Zhao Changxing had eaten during this period of time.

The only pity is that there is no oil, otherwise these tender spinach will taste better after frying.

"The planting of soybeans has to speed up." Zhao Changxing thought to himself.

Thinking of the delicious taste of bean sprouts, tofu, yuba, and even fermented bean curd, stinky tofu, etc., his mouth began to water unconsciously again.

With soybeans, he can make all these things.Don't forget, there are corresponding bacteria in the Tinder spacecraft, which can be taken out at that time, and the raw materials can be fermented to make it.

During the following period of time, he began to frantically collect various compounds and prepare nutrient solutions. Finally, after more than ten days, he also prepared all the nutrient solutions required for the subsequent planting of rice, millet, and soybeans. The substrate used to fix the root system was also collected, so he carefully sowed the seeds of these crops.

Thinking that it would take three months for these crops to mature, he felt a little impatient.

Stir-fried spinach, bean sprouts, and tofu with oil, paired with a large bowl of steaming rice or rice porridge, the kind of enjoyment, just thinking about it makes people fascinated.

The spinach is now fully grown and ready to harvest.It took him a day to completely harvest it and temporarily store it in the survival area.Anyway, there is a lot of space here, and the temperature can be lowered a little for refrigeration and preservation.

The harvest of spinach this season was a little less than expected, only about 120 kilograms.Except for those who harvested early because I couldn't control it, the output was still a little less.This may be a slight error in the preparation of the nutrient solution, but it doesn't matter, and it can be adjusted slowly later.

120 kilograms of spinach, and more than 150 kilograms of spinach can be produced every month in the future. It is obviously impossible to eat it all by myself.But Zhao Changxing already had plans for this.

In the following time, he began to devote all his energy to the construction of the third building of Human Base No. [-].

Animal husbandry workshop.

It still has an area of ​​about [-] square meters, plus the internal partitions, shelves, etc., and it took him more than [-] days to complete the construction.

For the time being, only one partition has been divided into the animal husbandry workshop, with an area of ​​about 18 square meters, two meters wide and nine meters long, and a row of shelves with a width of 0.6 meters and a height of four floors are placed at both ends of the wall.He also divided each floor into 15 parts, a total of 60 cages.Each cage can hold one chicken, and a total of 60 chickens can be raised.

That's right, Zhao Changxing plans to start raising chickens.The extra spinach that I can't finish by myself is just used to feed the chickens.Although eating only spinach is definitely not nutritionally balanced, but I can add some calcium tablets and the like to raise it barely.Even if the quality of the meat is poor, it is still meat.

God knows how long I haven't eaten meat.

Zhao Changxing was fed up with eating starchy spinach porridge every day, and desperately needed new food.

During this period of time, he had already eaten 120 kilograms of the 40 kilograms of spinach harvested before, and the remaining 80 kilograms were stored through low-temperature preservation technology.Although it is no longer fresh, it is still no problem to eat.What's more, in about ten days, the second batch of spinach can be harvested.

After setting up chicken cages, building water feeding and heat preservation equipment, and installing automatic cleaning equipment, Zhao Changxing put the 60 chickens that had been bred in advance in the Tinder spacecraft into the cages one by one.

The 60 chicks were of two different breeds, and 30 of them were broilers, a fast-growing breed.On the earth, if professional feed is used and professional large-scale breeding is adopted, the cage can be released within 30 days at the earliest.Of course, it would be good to be able to eat meat out of the cage for 60 days here.

The other 30 chickens are laying hens, which are specially raised for laying eggs.Recalling the delicious taste of fried eggs, Zhao Changxing's mouth began to salivate crazily again.

Eggs are not only needed by Zhao Changxing, but also by children in the future.It is definitely not enough to eat rice porridge alone. You must have eggs and chicken soup to grow up healthy.

The 60 ignorant chicks were a little scared when they first entered the cage, but they quickly liked the environment here.Seeing the chickens chirping and poking their heads out to drink water in front of the water pipe, Zhao Changxing nodded in satisfaction.

Chop the spinach and add starch—the chickens are still too young to eat spinach alone. Zhao Changxing had to give them part of his ration—and then add calcium tablets, vitamins and other things to make feed, and pour it into the automatic feeder. In the feeder, Zhao Changxing left.

Different from those plants in the soilless cultivation workshop, Zhao Changxing in the animal husbandry workshop installed it as completely as possible.The main reason is that animals are different from plants.For plants, it can't be fully automatic, and it doesn't take long to harvest by yourself, but animals are different.

It needs to be fed every day, and the chicken manure needs to be collected every day. If it cannot be highly automated, it will be too troublesome.Right now Human Base [-] is in dire straits, he really doesn't have that much time.

After finishing today's work, Zhao Changxing returned to the Tinder spacecraft again.After eating the starchy spinach porridge, he began to plan the next construction task.

Up to now, Human Base No. 100 already has three buildings with an area of ​​[-] square meters, which are the life support area, soilless cultivation workshop, and animal husbandry workshop.

The living area provides energy, and the soilless cultivation workshop and animal husbandry workshop are responsible for converting these energy into vegetables, staple food and meat to maintain their own survival.

It is no longer a problem for the output of Human Base No. [-] to support one's own survival, that is to say, the most embarrassing stage has passed.In terms of long-term planning, it is time for the second phase, that is, the construction of the permanent human base No. [-].

The construction of the second phase cannot be as simple as the construction of the first phase.Its building area will be very large, and it is obvious that the method of supporting columns cannot be used.This means that I need to level the land, and the foundation must be done properly.

Although there will be no spontaneous earthquakes on Sedna, and there will be no natural disasters such as wind and rain, the foundation may seem insignificant, but it must be there anyway.

He has to be prepared for certain extreme situations, such as an asteroid impact causing an earthquake or something like that.

This means a lot of work and takes a long time.But fortunately, the construction of the first phase can provide him with a strong backing, allowing him enough time to do these things.

"The construction of the second phase will be completely completed. Let me calculate...it will take about five years."

If all [-] astronauts are present, it may be completed in less than a year.But now he is the only one left.

Five years... By then, the children will all be in kindergarten.

Thinking of the children, he told Xiaoxi: "Give me the information about the artificial womb."

"Good Captain".

Xiaoxi projected a picture again.

At this moment, they have been conceived for almost three months, their body length is seven or eight centimeters, and their weight is about 50 grams.At this moment, they can barely see the appearance of human beings, but they look ugly.

In just over six months, they will be born.

Looking at the children who were still pregnant, Zhao Changxing thought to himself: "The construction time of the second phase is too long, and the children can't wait. During these months, I have to find time to find ways to expand some food type."

After thinking about it, the construction of the first phase still cannot be stopped, and two more buildings have to be added.

One is the automated nutrient solution preparation workshop, which is used to automatically produce the nutrient solution needed for crop growth—you only need to throw in the substances containing different elements and different compounds collected from Star Sedna. Next, this one The intelligent production line will automatically separate and purify different compounds, and prepare them into nutrient solutions through a series of reactions for final use by crops.

The second is to build a highly intelligent soilless cultivation workshop, which can increase food production and expand food types.In this way, the children can grow as healthy as possible after birth.
