Chapter 149 Solutions
The meal was particularly hearty, and the stewed chicken with potatoes won unanimous praise from everyone, but Deputy Squad Leader Zhu didn't feel like eating at all.

He has been on the plateau for a long time, and he knows the extent to which plateau animals are hungry for food.

As long as these animals can smell a little bit of food, they will definitely come to steal it, especially in winter when food is scarce.

This is the nature of animals and cannot be deciphered.

Unless it can be transported to cement bricks to rebuild, but the cost is too high, and it can only be built in summer.

Moreover, if the cement vegetable cellar is built in the mountain depression, it will be submerged when the snow melts in spring.

Because of the low temperature on the plateau, the accumulated water in the mountain depression can accumulate for two to three months, and the cement soaked in alkaline water for two to three months will not last long. It may not even be as strong as a foam board house.

Lin Yi looked at Deputy Squad Leader Zhu who had no appetite, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, people always come up with a solution. How about this? Let's have a meeting later to see how we can prevent animals from invading vegetable cellar."

Vice squad leader Zhu nodded, "Okay, there are many people and strength is great, and the three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. Let's find a way together."

Then he looked at the people who had finished eating, and shouted, "Go to the conference room for a meeting."

Soon everyone entered the conference room, and a corporal asked, "Deputy squad leader, what kind of meeting is this? Didn't hear any instructions from the superiors to pass down."

Deputy squad leader Zhu immediately expressed his thoughts about animals invading the vegetable cellar.

Everyone held their breath when they heard about the vegetable cellar. This vegetable cellar was built by everyone after five days of hard work. This will not only be a credit later, but also directly related to the issue of the space of the outpost. Everyone Not daring to neglect, immediately remembered the method.

Xiao Wang raised his hand and said, "Should we put Alu next to the vegetable cellar, so that with Alu guarding him, ordinary foxes and hares would definitely not dare to come over.

As for the wolves, they basically wouldn't get close to the outpost.Moreover, we have sentries on the second floor. When we see wolves coming, we will notify them as soon as possible. If they insist on stealing food, we can go out and drive them away. "

Lin Yi shook his head, "Alu is a patrol dog and will go on patrol during the day. It is impossible for the sentinel to keep watching the outdoor vegetable cellar in the valley. Especially small animals like hares are more difficult to find. It doesn't matter a day or two, one or two After a month, it will inevitably be dug through."

Vice squad leader Zhu pointed to the snow passage leading to the dry toilet: "Platoon leader, you said pouring water on the snow to freeze the snow into ice, is that okay?"

Lin Yi also thought of this at the beginning, but he was afraid that the ice would not be strong enough. The hare, which usually eats grass roots, has such sharp teeth that it can gnaw on wood, so the ice would be easily damaged.

Unless the ice is so thick that creatures like rabbits can chew on it for a month or two, but the outposts in winter are very short of water, and it is impossible to use large-scale water resources to irrigate the snow layer to form the ice surface.

So this seemingly feasible method is actually no easier than pulling cement bricks from the mountain.

The two proposals were rejected by Lin Yi, and the scene was deadlocked. After a while, a corporal raised his hand silently, "I have a simple method, I don't know if I should say it or not."

When Deputy Squad Leader Zhu heard this, he quickly waved, "What should I say? No matter if it is a local method or a foreign method, it is better to have a method than to have no method."

Lin Yi also nodded, "Let's listen first."

The corporal immediately said: "Before I was a soldier, I planted saplings on the mountain. You may not know that things like hares like to eat saplings the most. If you don't pay attention, they can chew up saplings.

In order to control the wild rabbits, we have also used many methods, such as applying latex paint and lime on the trees, but the effect is not good, and even some places where the latex paint is painted will be bitten off by the wild rabbits. "

"Then we set the trap, not to mention, we can really trap the rabbit the next day, but the value of a better sapling is far more than the price of the rabbit. A rabbit can destroy many saplings in one night. Good deal."

"Do you know what method we finally used to solve it?"

Vice squad leader Zhu hurriedly urged: "Don't be tricky, tell me quickly."

The corporal looked at Master Wu, "Just put the stinky fish and rotten shrimp next to the saplings. Not to mention, this trick is really effective. We put it on the first day, and the second day did not see the hare gnawing on the saplings. Master Wu, you know I don't know what's the reason for this?"

Master Wu knows how to cook, so he shook his head, "I don't know, but I have to remind you that the local method is probably only suitable for the local situation. Our plateau outpost is very cold, let's not talk about leftovers Does the fish and shrimps under it have the effect of repelling rabbits, even if they are, then these fish and shrimps are meat-eating, will they attract foxes and other animals?"

"At that time, don't drive away the rabbits first, and attract the foxes. It will be more harm than good. The ability of wild foxes to dig holes is not weaker than that of rabbits."

As soon as Master Wu said this, the corporal scratched his head helplessly, "That's why I said it's a native method, and it may not be applicable."

Lin Yi looked at Master Wu, "Since you are so good at analysis, you also have a suggestion."

Master Wu is the person who cares most about the outdoor vegetable cellar. If he has a way, it is impossible to hide it, "Platoon leader, I really haven't thought of a way. If it doesn't work, I'd better go to the regiment and ask if there is any way in the logistics." What kind of material, it is also anti-alkali, strong, and not easy to be dug by animals."

Lin Yi nodded, "There are such materials, and I can guarantee that there are in the logistics of the border defense regiment."

When Master Wu heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears, for fear of missing Lin Yi's words.

Lin Yi pointed to the armory, "The plastic-steel material used for firearms is not only alkali-resistant, but also fireproof. It can't be cut with a knife, but it is impossible for us to build a vegetable cellar."

Master Wu was a little frustrated when he heard this, "The platoon leader was joking."

Lin Yi waved his hand, "You were the one who joked first. To build a vegetable cellar, you also want alkali-resistant and strong materials. Why don't you just ask the regiment to bring you a cold-proof and insulated cabinet? That will save trouble."

Master Wu is very familiar with thermal insulation cabinets, "The cold-proof thermal insulation cabinets are useless in our outdoors, and the heaters cannot withstand such cold temperatures, unless they are wrapped with several layers of cotton coats outside the thermal insulation cabinets, making them similar to our vegetable cellars." Just like outside, wrap a few meters of snow to resist the cold wind.”

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard the cotton coat, and then looked at everyone, "I seem to know how to solve it."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Lin Yi.

"Our purpose is to prevent the hares from biting through the insulation layer and entering the vegetable cellar. Why don't we just lay barbed wire outside the insulation layer? I still don't believe it. The hare's teeth are so hard that they can bite through the wire mesh."
