Located in Pishan County, Xinjiang, China, the Shenxian Bay Outpost is located on a plateau at an altitude of 5,380 meters above sea level. It is an extremely harsh living environment, with winter for more than six months of the year, and temperatures as low as minus 40. Due to the remote location, more than 500 kilometers away from the nearest county seat, and more than ten kilometers around it are no man's land, so it is extremely difficult to transport materials. Border guardsIn order to maintain the best perennial on this plateau, the officers and men are faced with severe living conditions and a situation of being isolated and helpless.

In order to improveBorder guardsof officers and soldierslifeconditions, in October 2020, the Sanctuary Bay outpost built a building called ".Plant FactoryThe new greenhouse. herePlant FactoryIt is not only an upgraded version of the traditional greenhouse, but also equipped with a new plant fill light and a computer control system, which can achieve temperature andVegetablesPrecise control of irrigation and constant temperature and humidity. In order to satisfyPlant FactoryThe Hideaway Bay outpost has built a 150kw on this plateauPhotovoltaicssolar power array, and equipped with four groupsPhotovoltaicsPower generation plates. In addition, due to the strong wind resources on the plateau, in order to ensure the power of **, the Sanctuary Bay outpost has also established a wind turbine to form a wind collectorPhotovoltaics, diesel generators and energy storage batteries in one of the off-grid new energy microgrid. This system is not only able to meet the daily electricity needs of the Sanctuary Bay outpost, but also to:Plant FactoryProvide light and heat to ensure the normal growth of plants.
For guaranteesVegetablesGood growth,AgricultureSpecialists also visit the Sanctuary Bay post regularly to check the soil and moisture conditions, analyze nutrient deficiencies in the soil, and provide improvements. Due to manyBorder guardsOfficers and soldiers are from the city, they are rightAgriculturePlanting is unfamiliar, so experts will personally instruct them on how to grow seedlings, water them, and prevent pests and diseases. After nearly three years of exploration and hard work, the Sanctuary Bay outpost has now achieved self-sufficiency.
