This time Lin Yi came to the regiment headquarters and gained a lot. After the meeting on the second day, and on the third day, the logistics section chief specially approved a vehicle for Lin Yi to pull insulation materials.
Lin Yi wanted to build an outdoor vegetable cellar. Not only did the logistics department know about it, but even the political commissar of the regiment leader heard about it. However, Lin Yi didn't build it after all, so the regiment leader and political commissar didn't say anything praising.
But Deputy Captain Kong specially sent Lin Yi off on the third day.
"Xiao Lin, whether the outpost vegetable cellar can be successful depends on your ability. All the efforts you have made this winter are precious first-hand experience. I hope you can surprise us."
Lin Yi already had an idea in his mind, so he was a little confident, "I will do my best."
The vehicle quickly drove to the eighth team post. The post's intercom had already received the news that the convoy was coming, so except for the patrol personnel, other personnel were already standing on the road waiting to receive the supplies.
But what makes everyone feel strange is that there are actually two trucks parked under the eighth team post this time. Could it be that there is something wrong with the vehicle behind them?
Do you want to go up and help?
But the driver didn’t even come down to ask for help!
After Lin Yi jumped out of the car, he looked at the people who were a little confused and shouted, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? These two cars are our supplies, come and move them quickly."
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. There were actually two carts of supplies. Master Wu looked delighted, "Platoon leader, you are so awesome. You went to the regiment and actually got back two carts of supplies. With so much stuff, it's so amazing."
How many days will it take to eat?”
Lin Yi looked at the cheerful Master Wu and clicked his tongue, "What are you thinking about? There's no way it's all food. Let's move it down first."
Xiao Wang also climbed into the car at this time, but when he saw a pile of foam boards, he quickly stuck his head out and said, "Platoon leader, there is nothing in here, it is all foam boards."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "It's just a foam board, hurry up and move it first."
Xiao Wang didn't know what Lin Yi was doing with so many foam boards, but he didn't dare to ask casually now. He could only move all the foam boards to the outpost first.
It took more than an hour of moving back and forth before the two vehicles were emptied. At this time, the patrol team also came back from the snow. Looking at the foam boards all over the yard, Deputy Squad Leader Qiao looked surprised and said, "Platoon leader, you are doing this."
Why are you so foamy?"
Lin Yi told everyone that he wanted to build a vegetable cellar for the outpost. Except for Master Wu, who raised his hands in approval, everyone else had black lines on their foreheads.
Lin Yi watched everyone remain silent, and knew what they were thinking, "How big our outpost is, you should know better than me, right? You all see how the winter vegetables in the outpost are stored, right?
Don’t you want to expand a little more space?”
Everyone remained silent for a long time.
Seeing the awkward situation, Deputy Squad Leader Qiao said repeatedly: "The platoon leader is right, there should be a little more space, but everyone's patrol tasks are quite heavy, and after a round of patrols, they are all exhausted. As for those who have not gone out to patrol,
They are all shoveling the snow in the yard, and everyone is really not lazy at all."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "I know you are all good. To put it in plain terms, who among the soldiers who can come to the outpost is not a good soldier? If you are too lazy to stay in the outpost, you will never come here.
The hardest place to plant."
"As for building an outdoor vegetable cellar, it won't burden everyone. Just these foam boards, how much labor can be wasted?"
Deputy squad leader Qiao smiled awkwardly, "Platoon leader, don't make it so easy. We slowly repaired the gravel road from the highway to the outpost. Even in the summer when there is no snow, it still takes a lot of time."
It took us half a year.
What's more, if you want to build a house now, it will be even more difficult to build a house under such thick snow. We are either afraid of being tired or afraid that the work will end in an anticlimactic manner and end early, leaving nothing but feathers on the ground."
Lin Yi laughed, "I blame me for not making it clear. The house I built this time did not lay a foundation or move stones. It was built purely on snow, and we could even use local materials.
Isn't there a depression below our post? The snow there must be at least five or six meters thick. We can take advantage of this geographical advantage and use insulating foam boards to build a storage room, and then use the thickness of the snow to bury it.
Get five meters of snow and then see the effect."
When they heard that it was so easy to build, everyone was instantly motivated, but Xiao Wang raised his hand weakly, "Platoon leader, my family lives in the northern countryside. I know what the vegetable cellars in the countryside are like and the vegetables there.
The cellars are dug three meters underground, using the cold-proof properties of the soil to withstand the cold weather outside.
But I heard that you are planning to use snow to protect yourself from the cold. Although the snow nest can indeed protect you from the cold, it is far from being above freezing, right?
After all, when the temperature is above zero, the snow will start to melt.
The optimal storage temperature for vegetables is above zero, at least around three to five degrees above zero. We have a habit of putting a bucket of water in the vegetable cellar. Although the water is bitingly cold, it will not freeze. Explanation
, the temperature in the vegetable cellar is above zero."
Lin Yi is a logistics professional. How could he not understand this? He had his own countermeasures, "After listening to Xiao Wang's words, now you know what the use of insulation boards is."
A corporal said doubtfully: "The insulation board can only play the role of heat preservation, but vegetables themselves have no heat. Even if they have a strong heat preservation effect, their temperature will be slowly eroded by the cold wind."
The underground is different. The soil has a temperature. The further you dig down, the higher the temperature inside. If you dig three meters, the temperature will be about two or three degrees, not low."
Lin Jing realized that everyone couldn't figure this out, so he didn't give in. "If I build a house with thermal insulation foam, and then pile five meters of snow on top, will it be possible to ensure that the temperature is not lost and that the vegetable cellar can be kept warm?"
The temperature remains constant around minus a few degrees.
Since the suitable temperature for winter vegetables is around 35 degrees Celsius, can I keep the temperature of the vegetable cellar at 35 degrees Celsius if I put an electric heating jacket in it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again. Xiao Wang was also stunned. It took him a long time to recover, "I didn't expect the solution to be so simple. Since the temperature in the vegetable cellar cannot be maintained, let's raise it a little bit."
That would be fine if not.
I never thought of such a simple principle. I naively thought that the vegetable cellar could only rely on its own temperature, and I never thought about external heating."
Lin Yi explained the principle to everyone, and everyone became excited immediately. If an outdoor vegetable cellar could really be built, the contribution would be huge.
There are more than one outpost on the plateau. Along the long border, there are countless outposts.
If the experiment is successful and becomes popular, it will be really great.
