Every time you arrive in the Tengger Desert, you can find its more and more gorgeous turn!"

The government quickly approved Jiagu's application to expand the scale of desert development.

Marching into the depths of the desert hinterland is one of Jiagu's key projects this year.

To expand domestic consumption, it is necessary to increase people's incomes on the one hand, and on the other hand, to cultivate consumption hotspots – in short, to produce better and more popular consumer products.

For Jiagu, which focuses on agriculture, the desert area in the northwest is now a wider world than the densely populated east.

Qi Zheng withdrew from the "pastoral complex" project and drove along the newly built highway into the endless Tengger Desert.

What is amazing is that two years ago, the great desert did not grow a single grass, the wind swept the yellow sand and danced wildly in the sky, and the sand advanced and retreated for many years, and even the birds stopped; today, it is clear water and blue sky, lush vegetation, gulls and birds, and the highways through the sand criss-cross, and the oasis seems to have turned into the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Before arriving at the oasis, you can see the construction site of the "Two Desert Reservoirs" in the distance.

The construction of the "Two Desert Reservoirs" began.

This is one of the 10 major water conservancy projects to be started this year as determined by the National Development and Reform Commission, and it is also the most important water-saving and water supply project in the northwest at present.

Reservoir dams are rising from the ground, road rollers are ramming new earth and rock, excavators are digging spillways, and hundreds of large trucks are shuttling back and forth to transport silt and refill earth and rock.

Qi Zheng couldn't help but sigh, from the discovery of the desert aquifer to the official construction of the reservoir, it has been almost two years, this efficiency is ......

But on second thought, in fact, this is already quite efficient, and government decision-making is not as good as that of a company after all. This is also a desert desert, except for the difficult construction points, there is not much involved. If it is like the Three Gorges Reservoir, it may take years to demonstrate alone.

Skipping the construction site of the reservoir, there is the Jiagu Oasis Development Camp in front of you.

The first thing that catches your eye is the windmill that looms in the distance, delivering clean electricity for the desert management of Jiagu and the construction of the "Two Desert Reservoirs".

The second phase of the wind farm in Jiagu has been completed. Who would have thought that the first project in Jiagu to generate income in the desert was actually a wind farm, the "Two Desert Reservoir" project, which has a large demand for electricity, and most of the electricity is supplied to it, which is naturally not free.

Qi Zheng retracted his gaze, and the camp arrived.

Under the shade of trees, the camp is crisscrossed by thoroughfares, modern factories have risen from the ground, and outside the camp, patches of saxon forests, sand willows, pastures, etc., have clothed the once barren land in green, and wild animals such as pheasants and hares are infested in it.

As the oasis is gradually extending into the heart of the desert, in another decade or two, perhaps the geographical name of the Tengger Desert will be changed to Tengger Greenland.

Qi Zheng's mood was a little agitated, this is my world!

......

"We want to turn this place into the territory of our company's products!" In the oasis camp, Wen Huatang, the chief engineer of Tianye Company, a domestic irrigation equipment company, secretly cheered himself up.

He already knew that Jiagu would make great strides to develop the desert this year, and he was both shocked by Jiagu's courage and happy that the opportunity came.

——In the past two years, after the establishment of a joint venture between Tianye Company and Jiagu, with the support of Jiagu's strong financial resources, breakthroughs have been made in the research of large-scale irrigation equipment, especially in the large-scale translational irrigation machine, and a new generation of translational irrigation system has been developed. The development of the desert oasis in Jiagu provides a golden opportunity for the application of new equipment.

Sure enough, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. After hearing that Tianye had developed a new generation of large-scale irrigation equipment, Qi Zheng was very happy, and after a short rest, he found Wenhuatang.

"Chief Engineer Wen, Tianye's efficiency is very good, and it is really unexpected that a new generation of large-scale irrigation machines can be developed so quickly. Qi Zheng couldn't hide his surprise.

Wen Huatang said modestly: "In fact, our research work on large-scale sprinkler technology has not been interrupted in the past ten years, but due to the lack of investment in scientific research, product development has been difficult. It was also with the full support of Jiagu that a breakthrough was made. ”

Qi Zheng was stunned.

As far as large-scale irrigation machines are concerned, European and American manufacturers have the strongest comprehensive strength and the most advanced technical performance. Moreover, these companies are aimed at the domestic market, and all have offices in our country, and some also have production bases. Of course, these foreign companies are still the same as they have always been, only processing low-tech products at their production bases in China.

To be honest, Jiagu Agriculture has about 80 large-scale sprinkler irrigation machines in China and the Far East, most of which are imported equipment. There is a way to make wood, and the domestic large-scale sprinkler irrigation machine has poor matching, low quality and reliability, and high energy consumption...... There is a clear gap with imported products.

In this regard, Wen Huatang has something to say: "The large-scale sprinkler is a large-scale machine of mechatronics, which requires a good industrial foundation and comprehensive supporting capabilities, from a single technology to an integrated technology, and then to the product needs to achieve a huge leap." At the end of the day, it's because we're getting started late. ”

Qi Zheng nodded, and then asked: "What is the level of the main technical indicators of the new generation of large-scale translational irrigation machine developed by Tianye?"

Wen Huatang grinned: "It can basically replace similar imported products." Moreover, the main components can be produced in China except for some components, and some of the main technical indicators have entered the advanced ranks of similar products in the world......"

"The component that cannot be matched is ......"

"Well, it's mainly the nozzles, especially the large and medium-sized rotary reversing nozzles, which basically rely on imports. ”

As expected.

After the joint venture between Jiagu and Tianye Company, Qi Zheng was not ignorant of irrigation equipment.

The sprinkler head is one of the most important parts of irrigation equipment, and the lack of a good sprinkler head will cause the system to spray water evenly in actual use, and even leakage. The domestic technical reserves in this area are extremely weak.

Some people will ask, isn't it just a small sprinkler? What's so difficult?

In fact, this is the same reason that China can't produce the small steel ball of ballpoint pens.

A small nib, but it involves special steel and finishing technology - the steady operation of the ball is a very troublesome precision structure, and the technology to produce the ball is controlled by Switzerland and the island nation, and other countries cannot produce it.

So, no technological breakthrough is easy, not even a small sprinkler.

However, it is not without good news.

Wen Huatang said in high spirits: "According to the requirements of Jiagu, our large-scale sprinkler irrigation machine can basically realize the integrated application of water, fertilizer and medicine, and focus on the research of intelligent operation software, precise water and fertilizer control algorithms, etc. At present, we are actively researching the problems of unstable data transmission and inaccurate field data collection.......

Looking at Wen Huatang, who was embarrassed when he said that, Qi Zheng laughed: "Chief Engineer Wen, it's okay, you're right, the maturity of any product requires continuous practice, Jiagu is willing to be this 'guinea pig'!"

After a pause, Qi Zheng added: "However, after all, this is the first wheat planting base in our Jiagu, and Tianye will send technicians to the base to ensure the normal operation of the irrigation system." ”

Wen Huatang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed: "It should be, it should be." ”

For products with his own bloodline, Qi Zheng is still very tolerant. Moreover, the development of large-scale sprinkler irrigation equipment in China is backward, which is not without the influence of market factors.

The arable land in the country is scattered, and the average farmer cannot afford or need large-scale irrigation equipment, and only a few large farms need it. However, if domestic products have not been applied on a large scale, they will not be able to be improved, and they will not be able to compete with foreign advanced products.

In order to develop the vast and boundless deserts of Jiagu, large-scale irrigation equipment is absolutely indispensable. In such a large market, if you don't act as a "guinea pig" to make your partner's products mature, is it difficult to cheapen foreign capital?
