Although rice is claimed to be the staple food of 50% of the population of the home planet, wheat accounts for one-third of the total grain market.

On the demand side, the steamed dumplings eaten in northern China, the egg roll bread eaten in Europe and the United States, and the noodles and oil cakes used around the world all need wheat. The rice market is mainly distributed in southern China, or Southeast Asia, or local production, local consumption, its economic value and strategic position, can only be said to ...... Just fill your stomach.

In terms of nutritional value, wheat contains protein, microelements, and dietary fiber that are higher than rice, and can be said to be 'more nourishing', such as people engaged in physical labor or physical training, who eat a pound of rice in the morning and will be hungry if they eat less than 10 o'clock, but they can last until noon when they eat a pound of steamed buns.

In terms of storage, wheat can be stored for an average of 3~5 years, and if there is a special method, it can even be stored for 10 years to make edible 'aged grain', while the storage time of rice is only half a year, so the folk have the saying that 'wheat eats old, rice eats new', and therefore, wheat is a strategic reserve grain in China, and rice is only a spare grain for local rotation.

In fact, the nutritional value of corn is higher, and the storage time is longer, but the taste is slightly worse, and now the planting area is decreasing year by year.

Referring to various factors, the main grain rankings of the home star have become wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Well, that's all for the staple food.

Soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, etc., are called 'cash crops', and are used for oil extraction, soybean milk, and so on.

Therefore, at the critical moment of the trade war, if you are not able to control the overall situation, the superiors may give up the soybean market in order to keep the wheat and corn.

The immediate impact is ......

Everyone does not have to worry about being hungry, but Huaxia has lost the pricing power of grain and oil, and everyone may not be able to afford oil or pork in the future.

Referring to another time and space, the agricultural trade war lasted for 20 years, and the famous edible oils such as Jinyulong, Hu Hua Ji and Fu Menlin under Huaxia Grain have been controlled by 70% of the 'Yihai' and 'Kerry' jointly invested by ADM grain merchants starting with A and Nanyang Wilmar International, and they have also begun to invest in 'Luhua' and successfully control 50% of the Huaxia edible oil market.

In this time and space, Tiancheng attracted the current Nanyang Agriculture, that is, the future Wilmar International, to board the ship, and then secretly acquired many grain depots, and swaggered to manipulate the grain futures market, although the situation is still critical, but the overall has occupied an absolute advantage.

For example, the Limin Activity Center will purchase surplus grain from farmers every year and transfer it to Dongshan Granary.

For example, Tiannong Company, a subsidiary of Tianmao Group, leases a large number of 'contracted fields' in the hands of farmers and local 'basic farmland', implements mechanized planting in a unified manner, and then hires farmers to work......

For example, Tianliang Company, a subsidiary of Tianmao Group, has opened up animal and plant cultivation bases in many places, including Heilong, Nanhe, Xishan, and Neoblas, and developed new grain varieties.

Based on the above, after nearly three years of rectification, Huaxia Beidi has gradually gotten rid of the characteristics of 'farmers, farmland, and processing enterprises, scattered, small, and poor' in terms of grain, and has transitioned to an 'industrial chain'.

In the future, as long as a whole is formed, no matter how the four major grain merchants do it, they will not rush into the Chinese grain market, and they will be able to give each other a whole moth.

Now the other party sees that Tiancheng is gearing up to attack soybeans and cotton, and instead attacks wheat futures, which Tiancheng does not pay attention to......

To be honest, Ge Xiaotian was indeed a little panicked.

And when people are afraid, they can't help but want to hang up.

Therefore, Ge Xiaotian didn't care about checking the matter of the agricultural trade war, and hurriedly drilled into the Tiancheng Aerospace Department and came to the center of the No. 1 town located on the ground.

At level four, there are five clones in the main base.

The one in front of me is fake, but it can be transferred from the Antarctic underground.

Let's do it......

Flat prototype town center in Neoblas,

Mountainous town center in Montenegro,

Deep-sea town centers fish farming in the Arctic,

Desert town center in South Africa,

After getting the permission, the one in front of him became the main base of all-terrain, and there were five other clones, which were in the Beijing Courtyard, Xishan Mine, Heilong River Road, Nanyang Rubber Plantation, and Antarctic underground.

Iron ore, wood, stone and other resources must be bursting, and all that is missing is gold and electricity.

The upgrade conditions have been met, and Ge Xiaotian clicked the upgrade button for the first time with confusion......

...........................

Sancha Township.

This year's weather was smooth, and a bumper harvest was ushered in in mid-June.

In addition to preparing corn seeds and learning agricultural machinery technology, thousands of farmers also have a very important matter to deal with.

That is to pay the public grain.

However, after the farmers in Sancha Township contracted their farmland to Uncle Ge Si to grow cotton, they still used the method of previous years this year to 'pay for grain'.

If there is no Tianmao, the grain institute will definitely not agree to accept money for the task, after all, this is a reserve grain.

But Tianmao bought the grain depot and donated a large amount of new grain after rebuilding, and the leaders who came to inspect saw the red three-meter font on the wall:

'Firmly grasp the rice bowl of the Chinese people in their own hands!'

'Food, no fireworks!'

'Food is heavy, idlers avoid!'

'This is our life!'

And is it the black-clothed Tianwei who patrols on foot, and the high-standard 'high-gluten wheat' that is displayed in front of him after opening the granary......

The leaders were extremely relieved and agreed to 'pay for food'.

June 15 at noon.

Grain House.

Tens of thousands of people lined up to pay agricultural taxes......

In the rear grain depot.

The former olive branch of Jishi, and now the big leaders of Jishi, and the second leaders specially came to inspect.

"Sure enough, guarding the food is the most down-to-earth. ”

"I thought it was hard winter wheat, but I didn't expect it to be all high-quality strong-gluten wheat and high-quality weak-gluten wheat. ”

"It's a pity that the quantity is too small, only 20,000 tons, if it can break 100 ......"

"What do you think, Sancha Township is so big, do you still expect it to feed the entire Dongshan?"

“......”

While chatting, under the sky in the direction of Daqing Mountain in the north, a huge airship, which can almost be said to cover the sky, slowly rose.

The airship has a shark livery with a metal fence and a villa-sized pod with propeller blades at the tail and bottom, and the overall color is dark red.

Leaders: "???"

Thousands of people: "???"

A young man who walked out of the Internet café was stunned for a long time......

"Damn, Kirov?!"

.....................

Deep in the Great Green Mountain.

Ge Xiaotian lit a cigarette with a sad face, turned off the system page, and looked at the giant in the sky with his head raised.

As he thought, the Level 5 Town Center has entered the 'Age of Information Technology', fully unlocking and correcting the current technology tree, and then activating the Super Martial System.

But......

The system does not give the next level of escalation conditions.

"Is it the top?"

If so, isn't he bragging when he shouts the slogan 'Sea of Stars'?

The other side.

Due to the large size of the system, Daoyi and others gathered in the center of No. 1 Town to study the emerging functions.

At the end, seeing someone squatting at the door and smoking, Dao Yi stepped forward and reported:

"Boss, sure enough, as I guessed before, the new resources needed by the fifth-level mastermind are divided into biological energy, nuclear energy, photoelectric energy, and dark matter energy...... But according to the current technology tree, the photoelectric energy is automatically defaulted, with our current strength, if we choose others, I am afraid there will be big trouble. ”

"Do you think the mastermind will continue to level up?"

"Definitely, it's just that the next level is to evolve into a cosmic civilization, and what will be the era of interstellar exploration, the era of interstellar immigration, the era of interstellar colonization, the era of interstellar warfare, and the era of interstellar domination...... Ascend to Level 5 and enter the Level 2 Universe Civilization...... It is estimated that the mastermind is afraid of scaring you and dampening your enthusiasm, after all, the universe is too big. ”

Dao Yi said, calling up a video:

The parent star is just one of dozens of planets in the solar system, and the volume of the Sun is equivalent to 1.3 million parent stars. It can be said that the mother star is as small as sand and dust in the sun's radiance, almost imperceptible. ”

"With the scientific and technological power we have now, it will take at least 20,000 years to fly out of the solar system. ”

"And in the Milky Way, there are about 400 billion suns. If you count them, you have to count N years, let alone explore?"

"In this group of galaxies, the Milky Way occupies only one-fiftieth of the region. ”

"Above this group of galaxies, there is also the Virgo Cluster, the more 110 million light-years in diameter, that is, at the speed of light, it would take 110 million years to cross the Virgo Cluster. ”

"Further up there is the Laniakea Supercluster, which contains 100,000 groups of galaxies, but it is only a silk thread in the universe, almost invisible......"

"So far, no scientist on the parent star has been able to say how many superclusters of galaxies there are in the universe, and how many galaxies there are, hundreds of trillions, tens of trillions, all possible. And in each galaxy, there are thousands of trillions, tens of trillions of stars. In other words, in this universe, there may be hundreds of billions of star systems such as the solar system, and there may be billions of parent stars to the Nth power. ”

"Moreover, no one can guarantee that in such a vast universe, there are no higher life forms, or more advanced civilizations peeking into the home planet......"

"Boss, the map is so big, we haven't walked out of the novice village yet, and we are poor and have no 'equipment' to take, everything has to be done!"

'By that time, I'm afraid I'm not even going to be gone!'

Ge Xiaotian didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of employees, so he took a puff of cigarette, "I feel full of motivation when I am scratched by you!"

"Ollie!"

“......”

Ge Xiaotian rolled his eyes and looked at the integrated upgrade information.

The fifth-level building has added functions such as automation, intelligence, and remote control.

According to the law of system building upgrading, the first level needs resources such as wood and stone, the second level needs iron ore, the third level needs gold, the fourth level needs electricity, and the fifth level needs 'photovoltaic core'.

For example, upgrading a small factory to an automated production workshop requires 10 photovoltaic cores, as well as a large amount of electricity, gold, and iron ore.

The photoelectric core is not a graphene chip or a silicon chip, but a matrix composed entirely of lasers, packaged in photovoltaic glass and topological insulators, and implanted with a self-developed controllable program.

As mentioned in Daoyi, if you replace the resources needed for the upgrade of the level 5 building with bioenergy, nuclear energy, dark matter, etc., you will indeed encounter big trouble, because no, even if you give a sample, you can't figure out what it is.

and replaced with photoelectric cores......

Photovoltaic glass has long been successfully developed, and the topological insulator that the previous system rewarded has also been thoroughly understood, and the difficulty is nothing more than packaging technology.

In addition, it has its own Shenlong system, which can be implanted directly, although it is very troublesome to make a photoelectric core that is the size of a long pill and has a blue body, but one in three days is not a problem.

When you are familiar with the production process, you can join the automation in the future and achieve mass production.

As for the emergence of photoelectric cores, will they replace graphene chips......

It's early.

Just like another time and space, Huaxia is also far ahead in the field of optoelectronic technology, but it was not until more than 20 years later that optoelectronic computers could not be commercialized.

The production cost of photoelectric cores is higher, and even if it reaches mass production, it is not a market with a demand of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, compared with its own limited number of system buildings.

Another is that graphene is a new material, not only used in chips, but also includes rare metal smelting, new aerospace materials research and development, biomaterial production and so on.

In general, the system building upgraded by using 'photoelectric core' can be regarded as further promoting the development of its own 'automation and intelligence', and the next step is to lay it down and let the industrial chain enter a new era.

However, due to the lack of time for the 'year summary', the system only gave two upgrade rewards this time.

One is a photoelectric core sample.

Otherwise, you only know the name, and the devil knows what it is.

The second is a shark airship overhead.

Daqingshan already has a hot air balloon and a sightseeing airship, and suddenly a super large one appeared, except for the strange appearance, but it is not so abrupt.

After finishing the trivial matters of upgrading, Ge Xiaotian came to the Aerospace Department to learn more about the agricultural trade war.

The farmer's war is an important plan that Tiancheng began to prepare as early as the millennium.

To this end, the Neobras farm has been expanded three times, and the soybean planting area has exceeded 2 million hectares, which is one-third of the total planting area in China and one-fifteenth of North America...... Forget about the home planet, the total planting area of the mother planet is 120 million hectares.

Tiancheng has such a small planting area, but dares to swagger to manipulate the soybean futures market, which is nothing more than telling grain merchants: I am here!

In fact, Tiancheng soybean is only an industrial demand, and its real purpose is cotton.

There is a lot of cotton, almost all of Dongshan is planted with cotton this year, plus the support of the Northern Xinjiang Agricultural Reclamation Corps, Xixiang Nanwa Plastic Greenhouse secretly planted, Chen Feng flickered a batch of cotton from the third brother, so that the other party could plant rubber...... This year, the cotton under its own control accounts for one-third of the total output of the home planet.

But cotton is not grain, and the four major grain merchants will not care about cotton futures, only know that Tiancheng has planted cotton and soybeans, and there is no wheat or even corn in their hands.

Scarcity is expensive, there are so many people in Huaxia, I harvested wheat at a high price, and after a while, Huaxia will be short of wheat, and I will sell it at a higher price, how will I make money.

Therefore, the four major grain merchants came to China to harvest wheat and corn......

"How many grain depots and grain depots have we acquired?"

"About three thousand. ”

"If it's all filled with grain, how many tons will it take?"

"Six million tons. ”

"So much?"

"What do you think?"
