Chapter 400 The powerful white-feathered hen
Xia Qing thought that what she had traded with Yang Jin was just second-hand stainless steel pipes, but she didn''t expect it to be a complete set, not only steel pipe frames for building sheds, but also a complete set of accessories such as greenhouse roller shutters, diaphragm shakers, U-shaped cards, and clamp springs, as well as six greenhouse fill lights!
No wonder Yang Jin, the second-hand stainless steel pipe in two greenhouses, wanted to collect her 200 spinach seeds. This whole set of things is indeed worth the price.
If there is no hand-cranked roller shutter, she planted two greenhouses and only carried out the process of collecting cold-proof grass curtains every day, which would take more than an hour. With the roller shutter machine, this process can be completed within ten minutes for Xia Qing, who is not short of strength.
As time is saved, she can go to the No. 49 Mountain Training Ground to participate in the training. These two hand-rolled roller shutters are really in line with her wishes.
Guan Tong, who was delivering the goods, saw Xia Qing fiddling with the roller shutter machine, came over to ask, "This is quite complicated. Do you need to ask the technician from Territory No. 1 to come and help install it?"
"No, I can install it." Xia Qing''s five-year-old construction team captain was not in vain. Welding, installing greenhouse steel frames and rolling shutters is her job.
Chen Cheng came over and asked with a smile, "Sister Qing, what else do you don''t know?"
"I don''t know the skills that need someone to teach them step by step." Because she can''t afford the price she wants, no one is willing to teach her. What she knows is all about, just standing next to her and watching.
Xia Qing signaled Chen Cheng to help her hold the steel frame. She stepped on the long bench and held the welding torch to weld the steel pipe.
The greenhouse in the Xiaqing Territory is 50 meters long and 6 meters wide, and the north wall is 3.5 meters high. You need to step on a stool when welding the support frame of the north wall.
The height of the earth walls on both sides of the east and west gradually dropped from 3.5 to 1 meter, so the sun-receiving surface of the entire greenhouse is an inclined surface with a height in the north and a low in the south, with an inclined drop of 2.5 meters.
This inclined design can reduce the impact of strong winds on the greenhouse, and the inclined surface can better withstand the pressure of snow and rain, avoiding the skeleton bending or breaking due to the concentration of weight at a point. At the same time, the inclined surface also helps the shed film to better cover the greenhouse, reduce gaps and loopholes, and improve the insulation effect.
If the construction technology is insufficient, resulting in the **** being too steep or uneven inclination, it will also affect the service life and stability of the greenhouse.
Xia Qing’s greenhouse does not have any technical problems, because her greenhouse earthen wall was built by Qi Fu and she absolutely meets the standards; the steel frame was installed by her personally to ensure that it is qualified.
When there is sufficient sunshine during the day, the straw curtains used for insulation on the plastic film of the greenhouse are rolled up with a hand-rolling roller shutter to allow the animals and plants in the greenhouse to be exposed to sunlight and grow.
When the sun sets, put down the grass curtain and cover the heat during the day, so that the animals and plants in the greenhouse can continue to grow without the influence of low temperatures. As long as the temperature is not lower than minus ten degrees Celsius, there is no need to raise the fire in the greenhouse to heat up.
With the help of Hu Zifeng''s team, Xia Qing welded the steel frame of the breeding greenhouse in one afternoon, buckled the plastic film of the greenhouse, and covered it with a straw curtain that prevents cold and keeps heat.
After dark, all the chickens in the chicken coop returned to the chicken coop. Xia Qing entered the chicken coop with her night vision goggles. Grab the chickens squatting on the rack one by one into the chicken cage and put them in the greenhouse.
When other chickens were caught, they would clatter in panic and struggle a few times. When it was the turn of the white-feathered hen, the guy actually stretched out his head to peck Xia Qing''s hand. This is a green light chicken with bone strengthening. Its mouth and claws are very powerful. If you want it to peck or grab it, you will definitely get hurt.
Xia Qing, who was prepared, grabbed its neck with one hand and two legs with the other, and stuffed it into the chicken cage. Then he used a net to cover the black-feathered rooster that was fluttering in the chicken coop and stuffed it in. "Wow." Seeing Xia Qing walking out with a chicken, Boss Sheep standing at the door of the house screamed.
"It''s cold, I''ll grab the chicken into the greenhouse, which is warm there." Xia Qing put down the chicken cage, first went back to the house and took the night vision goggles of the sheep and put it on, and then asked, "Boss, second, do you want to go to the greenhouse with me to take a look?"
Because Hu Zifeng''s team was in the territory in the afternoon, Yang Boss and Sick Wolf did not come over, and they didn''t know what the purpose of the big project just built in their territory was.
Xia Qing now wants them to see what they are doing for the purpose of getting out early and returning late these days.
Two greenhouses are built side by side on the west side of the arable vegetable greenhouse, the breeding greenhouse is on the west side, and the planting greenhouse is on the east side. On both sides are doors to enter and exit the greenhouse. A small house with a length, width and height of two meters are built beside the doors.
This cottage can store agricultural tools, fertilizers, medicines and other materials, and secondly, it can be used as a transition zone between the outside and the greenhouse, so as not to allow the cold air from the outside to directly rush into the greenhouse when someone enters and leaves the greenhouse, affecting the growth of animals and plants inside.
Carrying a chicken cage and bringing two companions into the greenhouse, Xia Qing turned on the greenhouse filling light hanging in the greenhouse.
Greenhouse fill light is designed based on the principle of plants using sunlight for photosynthesis, and is used to provide plants with the light source required for growth and development when there is insufficient light. Of course, this light source is also suitable for adding light to breeding poultry.
"Click!"
After turning on the fill light, Xia Qing had no time to show off the greenhouse to his companions, he heard the cracking sound of the chicken cage. The white-feathered hen used its sharp cage to cut two bamboo pieces.
“Fuck!”
Xia Qing exclaimed and quickly stuffed the chicken cage into the chicken coop in the greenhouse, for fear that the irritable white-feathered hen would come out and grab a hole in the plastic film of the greenhouse she had just built.
In order to prevent chickens from damaging plastic film, the chicken pen in the greenhouse is built with the barbed wire mesh left over the wall repair. The barbed wire mesh is very strong, and the claws of the white-feathered hen cannot cause substantial damage to the barbed wire mesh, let alone other chickens.
After closing the chicken pen, Xia Qing took a look at the thermometer hanging on the wall. Although the greenhouse has just been fastened for more than two hours, the plastic film and cold-proof straw curtains have isolated the external cold air from invasion of the interior of the greenhouse. Now the indoor temperature has reached 6℃, which is 5℃ higher than that of the outdoors.
The current outdoor temperature has approached zero degrees.
Xia Qing installed the drinking bucket and food trough of the chicken pen, and poured in pollution-free spring water and mixed chicken feed. The flock of chickens immediately rushed to the edge of the feeding trough under the guidance of the black-feathered rooster, stretched out their heads from the gaps in the railings, and pecked at them quickly.
After relocating the flock of chickens, Xia Qing took the sheep and the sick wolf through the small door with plastic cloth hanging on the earthen wall, enter the connected hut, and then from the hut to the outside of the greenhouse, and then from the hut to enter the greenhouse to familiarize them with how to enter and exit the greenhouse.
Finally, Xia Qing brought his two companions to the edge of the plastic film and warned solemnly, "You must walk through the door and you cannot tear the plastic film. If the boss dares to break the plastic film, I will deduct your food rations. If the second brother dares to break the plastic film, I will deduct your green light egg. Do you hear it clearly?"
