The transparent glass plank road is still five or six meters above the ground. You can see a large area of farmland under your feet, where all natural crops are planted. They are very large and numerous!
Slices and slices of vegetable crops are pleasing to the eye.
Looking further into the distance, you can also see a man-made lake. In the man-made lake are farmed fish and seafood, including various fish. Sometimes you can see fish jumping out of the water.
On the other side of the man-made lake is a fruit forest, which can provide a variety of fruits.
At the further end is a pasture and livestock breeding area.
Mainly pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.
"This... this... building such a large ecosystem in a starship, how much resources will be consumed just to maintain it!" Annie thought of this issue immediately.
The rabbit-eared girl smiled and explained at this time: "In addition to the construction resources consumed at the beginning of the T2 Bronze Eden-class starship, as well as the funds spent on purchasing the first batch of these seeds, raising seedlings, etc.
There is no need to consume any resources to maintain the operation of this ecological breeding garden. All the required nutrients are collected from the cosmic environment by the cosmic element collector carried on the ship.
Of course, the energy blocks required for starship engine navigation still need to be replenished regularly."
"This...this...how is this possible..." Anne looked shocked. This really subverted her previous concepts.
"Moreover, on this starship, the breeding cycle of these crops and livestock has been greatly shortened, the output has been increased several times, and the quality is also of high quality.
Basically there is a certain share of output every month.
Such a T2 bronze Eden-class starship can meet the minimum living needs of one million people." said the rabbit-eared girl.
"One million people..." Anne swallowed.
Anne finally understood why the Commander's starship could maintain such luxurious meal standards every day.
No matter how extravagant the crew is, there is no problem that just one T2 Bronze Eden-class starship can meet the daily needs of tens of thousands of crew members.
Although Lilith next to her had long known that such a starship was being built, she was still shocked when she saw it all with her own eyes.
"Very good." Zhao Chen was very satisfied with everything in front of him.
Although he had seen the relevant information on the drawings, the shock of seeing such a starship in front of him was still there.
He raised his head and looked at the holographic projection of the sky and the sun.
If he hadn't been told that they were now in a space starship, Zhao Chen might have thought that he was just on a farm on the planet.
"The monthly production value of such a T2 Bronze Eden-class starship can reach 1 million star coins.
If I can build ten ships, twenty ships will come out.
Wouldn't it be possible to make money while lying down every month?" Zhao Chen imagined this beautiful scene.
Because of the food shortage in the general environment of the universe.
Food trade has become a hugely profitable industry second only to the starship arms trade.
Those few agricultural stars that produce high-quality natural crops are cash cows for the imperial nobility and large consortiums!
"Commander, this is our most recently ripe fruit. Please taste it." At this time, the rabbit-eared lady led Zhao Chen and others down the transparent glass plank road and came to the dense fruit forest.
He picked the fruit skillfully, washed it, and handed it to Commander Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took it and took a bite. His mouth was filled with juice and the sweet taste flowed down his mouth into his esophagus.
"It's very good. You can pick and eat it yourself." Zhao Chen looked at Lilith and Annie who were staring at him and pointed at the mature fruit forest and said.
With Zhao Chen's permission, Lilith was not polite. She picked a fruit and started eating it, with a happy smile on her face.
Anne stared at a big apple, swallowed her saliva, stretched out her hand to pick...pick...
Annie stood on tiptoes, but her hands still couldn't touch the fruit.
Her heart skipped a beat and she jumped up.
The big apple was still hanging there safe and sound, as if it were taunting her.
"Kid, sister, come and help you pick it." The rabbit-eared girl came over at this moment and thoughtfully picked the big apple for Annie.
"I'm not a child!" Annie was indignant, but when she took her first bite of the big apple, a happy smile filled her face.
So sweet!
Fruit is also available in the Starship restaurant, but the price is much more expensive than ordinary meals.
After all, with the same planting unit area, growing fruits is far less productive and practical than growing crops.
In addition, fruit cannot fill the stomach, so the existence of fruit is just a product with a "luxury" name.
The crew of the Xiaolong Fleet can only eat one or two fruits every month.
"In this way, our Xiaolong fleet starship will no longer need to purchase food from the outside world and can directly be self-sufficient." Zhao Chen said with satisfaction.
According to the meal standards set by Zhao Chen, one or two hundred people might have been fine before.
But now the number of soldiers in the Xiaolong Fleet is rising rapidly. Under this meal standard, it is a big expense every month.
And now, this problem has been completely solved!
After walking around the T2 Bronze Eden-class starship, Zhao Chen and others returned.
Anne and Lilith each carried a large basket of fruits, which Zhao Chen allowed them to take back and share with their friends.
Annie's protruding belly already contained a lot of food.
"Hiccup..." Annie sat on the shuttle and burped comfortably.
This is her first time to experience the feeling of eating all-you-can-eat fruit, which is really quite luxurious.
"Annie, what do you think of the proposal to stay in my Xiaolong Fleet?" Zhao Chen looked at Anne and raised this opinion again.
Anne did not answer directly, but she was obviously not as hesitant as the first time.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you, but you also know that what our Xiaolong Fleet abides by is that you get what you pay for.
The same goes for the crew members. They work for me, so they can get corresponding meal standards and crew treatment.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
You have been in the Xiaolong Fleet for the past month, and that is the privileged treatment I have provided you. However, this kind of thing cannot continue forever, and it is unfair to other crew members.
If you really don't want to work for me, I can send you away." When Zhao Chen said this.
Lilith next to her couldn't help but rolled her eyes.
After coming to such a happy place, I would be a fool to leave!
But why did Lilith feel like she had seen this scene before?
"Moreover, if you think the living conditions here are good, you can also accept all your own family members in the future.
As long as they are willing to work for me, I can provide them with the same living conditions and at the same time I will ensure their safety.
In my place, no one can hurt you anymore!" Zhao Chen said.
Annie bit her red lips, looked at the fruit basket filled with fruits next to her, and finally made her choice.
