Chapter 142 Conception of the Outpost Vegetable Cellar
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Yi immediately went online to download information, which were some books on vegetable storage types.
The purpose is also obvious, which is to solve the storage problem of winter vegetables at the outpost.
Although living conditions are now better, and supplies can be transported once a week as long as the weather does not cause problems, no one can guarantee that there will be no unexpected weather conditions. If there are any, winter vegetables will be life-saving vegetables.
.
Even though winter vegetables are now obsolete in most areas, and even many northern regions no longer store winter vegetables, for plateau outposts, their importance is still self-evident.
Without food, there is no stability. Food, as the most important part of stabilizing military morale, must never be in short supply.
In this case, can you make an object so that the officers and soldiers at the outpost can see at a glance how to preserve winter vegetables?
The regiment logistics storage warehouse gave me a good idea. I could build a semi-automatic storage warehouse in the outpost according to the fully automatic storage warehouse model.
Simple warehouse storage is nothing more than two elements, temperature and humidity, and thermometers and hygrometers are not lacking in the outpost.
As long as you combine them, fill in the corresponding data of each type of vegetables on each signboard, and then refine the data based on the actual experience of the outpost, you can scientifically manage winter vegetables.
Anyway, I will stay at the outpost for a full three months, which is enough time for me to complete this project.
As soon as he thought of it, he started looking for information based on theory. Lin Yi got out of the dormitory and went to the logistics building to find the lieutenant to store the temperature and humidity data of the warehouse.
When the lieutenant saw Lin Yi asking for these data, he was surprised and said, "Old Lin, why do you want these data? Although these data are not confidential, they are related to the core issues of the logistics warehouse. If they are used by someone with intentions, it will be very serious.
Bad things.”
Lin Yi immediately explained: "Am I not leading the team at the outpost? The winter vegetables in the outpost are the subject of my current research. I am thinking about how to manage these vegetables more easily."
When the lieutenant heard that Lin Yi was doing it for the officers and soldiers at the outpost, he was not pretentious, "I have very little data, so I will report it to the logistics section chief. He has a lot of information. I believe the section chief will support you."
After a while, a lieutenant colonel officer walked over quickly with a rather enthusiastic expression, "You must be Lin Yi. When we were having dinner just now, Deputy Commander Kong mentioned you to me. He said that you were just relying on memory.
, you can write down the suitable storage temperature for winter vegetables, which is quite remarkable.”
"I heard from Xiao Zhao that you are very concerned about the storage of winter vegetables at the outpost? Deputy Commander Kong also told me about this matter just now, and the superior leaders also attach great importance to it. In this way, if you need any materials, just tell me, I will
I will definitely support you fully.”
Lin Jing saw that the logistics section chief was so enthusiastic and said quickly: "Section chief, then I need some more accurate heat probes and humidity probes. Originally I thought of using the humidity thermometer in the outpost, but with your support, then I
Just work more carefully."
There are a lot of logistical reserves for these things, and the section chief immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll have them prepared for you. Also, do you need some insulation materials or something? This will make it easier for you to store vegetables for the winter."
Lin Yi nodded immediately, "Yes, I have always believed that we should open up some storage areas outside the outpost as much as possible. The outpost is so big, and winter vegetables can only be squeezed in, which is not conducive to material storage.
If we can open up a space outside the outpost, this will not only preserve food better, but also free up more outpost space. We can even build some snow water melting and filtering equipment in the original place where these vegetables are kept, so as to save the food in winter.
There will be enough water for everyone to take a good bath."
When the lieutenant heard this, he was a little confused, "Old Lin, the temperature outside the post is as low as minus 30 degrees. In such cold weather, all the vegetables will be frozen to death. Are you sure you can do it outdoors?"
Lin Yi nodded firmly, "In the high latitudes of northeastern and northwest my country, the lowest temperature there can often reach about minus 30 degrees. People there use vegetable cellars to store vegetables for the winter."
When the logistics section chief heard this, he immediately said: "Xiao Lin, the situation at the outpost is different from that in the high latitudes of our country. The vegetable cellars in those places are dug to a depth of three meters below the surface. The soil itself is excellent heat and cold insulation.
No matter how low the temperature outside is, the frost cannot penetrate such thick soil, so the vegetable cellars there can generally maintain a temperature of 0-5 degrees."
"Most of the land at the outpost is gravel, and it's still stones when you dig down. Everything used to build the outpost was pulled up from the mountain. We simply don't have the strength to organize a cement and stone pull up to build a vegetable garden to store winter vegetables.
cellar.
And there is a more intuitive problem, that is, even if we can spend money to build a cement vegetable cellar, the thin cement walls, even if an insulation layer is added, will never be able to withstand such a cold temperature.
Even the thick cement walls of the sentry post will soon be blown to subzero temperatures by the cold wind if the heater is not turned on."
Lin Yi has studied this matter thoroughly these days at the post. Especially when passing through the snow passage, he can clearly feel the higher temperature in the passage. "Report to the section chief, since the cement wall cannot withstand the cold wind,
Then why don't we use snow? If I pile the snow to a thickness of three meters, can it withstand the cold wind?"
When the logistics section chief heard this, he looked shocked and said, "It's really like this. Usually when our patrol dogs encounter blizzards, they will get into the snowdrifts by themselves and use the thickness of the snow to resist the severe cold outside."
The lieutenant immediately echoed: "That's true. It suddenly occurred to me that the Eskimos living in the Arctic Circle like to build igloos as houses. I don't believe it. Our outpost is cold, so it can be as cold as the Arctic."
Lin Jing saw everyone's support and became more confident, "Then let's do it. I will stay at the border post for three months anyway. I will know in three months whether it has any effect."
The logistics section chief nodded immediately, "Xiao Zhao, go get the equipment quickly, especially temperature and humidity probes and the like. It's not like we don't have any here. If the outdoor vegetable cellar is successfully built, it will definitely be a benefit to the outpost.
.”
Lieutenant Zhao nodded immediately, then looked at Lin Yi, "Old Lin, come with me, and I will get you whatever you like later. I guarantee you won't be short of anything."
Lin Yi immediately followed Lieutenant Zhao, thinking that he must get more insulation materials. Only by being prepared can there be no danger.
