Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1346

Li Chenmo nodded and explained, "When we went to the mountain foothills to gather bamboo shoots, my wife asked me if it was possible to use bamboo instead of iron frames and thatch instead of plastic."

"When I heard her suggestion, I thought it was worth trying. So, we experimented with bamboo poles and thatch. While these materials were easier to obtain and significantly cheaper, their ability to retain heat wasn't as effective as plastic."

"Besides that, using thatch also blocked sunlight from entering the greenhouse, unlike transparent plastic. Because of this, we made modifications to the design."

At this point, the brigade secretary opened the envelope and examined the design. The moment he saw the modification, his eyes lit up. With a movable rooftop, using thatch as a replacement for plastic became feasible.

"How about temperature control?" he asked.

Li Chenmo pointed to another design and said, "We don't have a way to regulate the temperature in summer, so we can only open the doors for ventilation and close the roof at midday to prevent excessive heat buildup."

"But, we connected bamboo pipes from the greenhouse to an outdoor stove. By burning firewood, the heat from the stove is transferred to the greenhouse through the bamboo pipes."

"Using this method, we should be able to control the temperature during winter. Since our brigade is close to the mountains, obtaining enough firewood won't be an issue."

Then, he pointed to the last design and added, "My family has built several greenhouses. We noticed that if we watered them manually, it would take a lot of effort. During the busy period, it was unavoidable to neglect the greenhouse."

"So, my wife and I designed an irrigation system. Since our house is near a mountain spring, we connected it to a water tank."

"We were concerned that using a traditional irrigation system might flood our house, so we used smaller bamboo pipes and drilled tiny holes to allow water to drip slowly."

"These holes are connected directly to the roots of the crops through bamboo pipes. This way, the water is absorbed efficiently by the roots, reducing the overall water consumption needed for irrigation."

The more the brigade secretary listened, the more excited he became. While there was still room for improvement, this irrigation system was a breakthrough.

Using less water meant that crops could still be irrigated effectively even during a drought. Moreover, if greenhouses could be built using alternative materials, this method could be promoted nationwide. The potential benefits were limitless!

He looked at Li Chenmo and said, "Comrade Li, you and your wife have made an incredible contribution to our country!"

Receiving such high praise, Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "Comrade, contributing to the country and benefiting the people is what my family should do as members of the party."

"The only drawback of using bamboo is that it requires more maintenance to check for pest damage and potential blockages in the water system."

The brigade secretary nodded and said, "I will make sure to remind everyone about this issue."

As he packed up the documents, Li Chenmo said, "Comrade, if possible, my wife and I would prefer to keep our identities a secret." _{freёwebnovel.com}

Hearing this, the brigade secretary looked at him and asked, "Comrade Li, if we don't announce your contribution, how will the central government reward you?"
