Chapter 190 Lingchuan Base
The scale of Lingchuan Base was not much different from that of Beicheng Base; it too was established by relying on a river.
The entire base was built along the riverbank, forming an outward bulge and inward dent in a long strip shape. A high perimeter wall was also erected, but unlike Beicheng Base, Lingchuan Base had many cleared fields around it, surrounded by iron fences with only a long gated corridor made of wire mesh, leading directly to the base.
Beicheng Base was established on the foundation of the Huaihe Development Zone, and nearly all the fields nearby had been filled in, turning into construction sites and skyscrapers, hence there were no fields around the base.
Lu Changyuan, looking at the fields enclosed by fences, saw that crops had already started to grow and couldn’t help but praise, "This method is good, it can continuously produce crops and ensure the safety of personnel to a certain extent. Just not sure how these fields will be dealt with when the Ice Age comes."
"Maybe they’ll cover them with greenhouses?" Yan Xiao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then negated, "Probably can’t build greenhouses, the area is too large, and heating is a problem, plus if it really gets to below minus forty degrees, the energy consumption for the greenhouses will be considerable, and the base might not be able to support it."
"What about solar heating?" Bai Kairui, thinking of the modern farms in his own country, asked, "Build vertical greenhouses, streamline the planting space, and then add plenty of solar thermal panels."
Lu Changyuan shook his head and said, "We can’t rely solely on solar energy, since the future is an Ice Age, the weather will naturally be dominated by ice and snow."
Yan Xiao, unable to be bothered to think further, said coolly, "Whatever, it’s not like we’re going to farm."
As the three of them chatted idly, they arrived at the base’s entrance without realizing it.
The people from the Lingchuan Base ability team got out of the vehicle, spoke with the personnel at the entrance, and were immediately allowed to pass. Their vehicle entered through the wire mesh without any hindrance, and then several medical staff members came over to conduct physical examinations for everyone. The process was very simple, checking only blood pressure and temperature without the need for blood samples.
