PS: Sorry, I uploaded it late, sorry!

"Brother, is there really a rose garden in Hong Kong? don't lie to me!" Li Ying asked as she looked at her second brother with big black eyes. ¢£Top¢£Dot¢£Small¢£ said,

"You'll know if I've lied to you later!" Li Xuan didn't explain much.

Cars drove on mountain roads, and as Hong Kong Island and Kowloon became increasingly saturated, the Hong Kong government gradually developed a series of new towns from the 70s. Tuen Mun and Sha Tin are already quite large-scale, while places such as Sheung Shui and Fanling have just begun to be developed.

The car continued to drive north through Sha Tin, and the eyes were full of hillsides and farmland, and it seemed that it had suddenly arrived in a rural village far away from urban civilization. As we were about to enter Fanling Market, the car turned to the right, turned onto a dirt road, and drove forward for about five or six minutes before finally stopping in front of a greenhouse.

"Oh—!The rose garden you said is like this, it's not romantic at all!" Li Ying sighed in disappointment.

Li Xuan patted his sister lightly on the forehead, didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked forward by himself. With more than three months left before the wedding date in May, many preparations for the wedding need to start early. Although Li Xuan's professional team was responsible for planning his wedding early, as the groom's official, he naturally couldn't let it go, and many things still needed to be decided by him.

For example, weddings need to use a large number of flowers to decorate the atmosphere, among which the most used is naturally roses that symbolize love. Hong Kong does not produce flowers locally, and most of the flowers sold in florists in the market are imported from Southeast Asia and Taiwan.

Li Xuan's wedding can be expected to be very grand, and the amount of flowers used in the design of the planning team will also be very huge, so it is necessary to find an importer to book in advance. Li Xuan suddenly thought that it was actually Hong Kong. There is still a place to grow roses.

Flowers do not have a very short shelf life compared to other commodities. If you can source it locally, you can maximize the quality of the flowers. However, Li Xuan is not sure whether the local flower farmer in Hong Kong will be able to provide so many roses by May.

Li Ying happened to be standing aside. I heard that there was a rose plantation in Hong Kong, so I tried my best to persuade my brother to take her to see it with his own eyes. Li Xuan has also been relatively leisurely these days, so he simply agreed to go in person.

In another 30 years, there will be almost no agricultural land in Hong Kong, but most of the New Territories will still be rural. The rose plantation is located next to Fanling Market Area, which has been developed as a new town by the Hong Kong government, but is still a small town.

Unlike the bustling urban areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the New Territories is still very backward and does not see high-rise buildings. Only a clutter of low-rise bungalows. The British made good use of China to control China, especially in the New Territories, where the clans and gentry were powerful. To this end, the Hong Kong government has set up a semi-official body, the Heung Yee Kuk in the New Territories, to be responsible for communicating with the aborigines of the New Territories on various issues such as land acquisition and urban development.

The Chairman of Heung Yee Kuk is known as the Emperor of the New Territories. After the previous negotiations between Oriental Semiconductor Company and the Hong Kong government on the land acquisition of Tai Po for the construction of a chip factory failed, Oriental Semiconductor Company finally chose to build a factory in Taiwan, and public opinion in Hong Kong and Kowloon was in an uproar.

In a newspaper interview, the former chairman of Heung Yee Kuk in the New Territories, Chan Sun-lap, openly and violently criticized the Hong Kong government's industrial policy. It is believed that the Hong Kong government has not given enough support to the development of backward areas in the New Territories, not to mention planting tung trees to attract golden phoenixes, and the golden phoenixes themselves have been driven away.

These public opinions put great pressure on the Hong Kong government at that time, which is why MacLehose quickly invited Li Xuan to dinner. Hoping to make up for the relationship with Dongfang Electronics, he was in charge of the preparation of the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong.

Chen Xinli was originally from the Tuen Mun family, and he served as the chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk in the New Territories in 1968 and served as the emperor of the New Territories for ten years. has accumulated great prestige, although he has been retired for three or four years, he can still respond to the market in the New Territories.

For such a strong man. Li Xuan is naturally willing to repay the favor. The greenhouse rose planting greenhouse he came to today was invested by Chen Xinli's grandson Chen Tao.

Roses bloom when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. Growth is inhibited by natural conditions, and flower buds no longer differentiate. If you face high temperatures for a long time, it will directly lead to the death of flower seedlings.

The greenhouse was first built, coinciding with the unusually hot summer in Hong Kong last year. Chen Tao, who planted roses in the first year, was inexperienced, and as a result, the temperature in the greenhouse was not cooled in time, and a large number of flower seedlings died. This year, he decided to take precautions and set up a set of temperature alarm devices in the greenhouse to monitor the temperature in real time.

Chen Xinli has been the emperor of the New Territories for ten years, and the wealth he has accumulated is not small, especially in the past ten years with the development of Tuen Mun, and the large amount of land in his hands has appreciated rapidly. But not every child or grandchild is willing to die in the shadow of their elders.

Chen Tao is one such entrepreneur who asked a friend to ask a researcher at the Oriental Research Institute to help design a temperature alarm device. However, the computer control system designed for him by the Oriental Research Institute is much more advanced than what he originally requested.

In addition to real-time temperature monitoring, it can also monitor light, air humidity and soil pH, and with large air conditioning and sprinkler irrigation equipment, the computer can also automatically control the temperature and watering.

"Li Sheng, welcome to come!" Chen Tao received a notice from the staff and learned that Li Xuan had come to his greenhouse in person, and immediately trotted out from inside to greet him.

If it was his grandfather Chen Xinli, he would still be qualified to rely on the old and sell the old in front of Li Xuan, but he was naturally far from being able to compare with the "God of Wealth Li", so his attitude was very respectful. In fact, Chen Tao is three or four years older than Li Xuan.

"Chen Sheng, my little sister heard that you have a beautiful rose plantation here, so I have to take her to visit it!" Li Xuan shook hands with the other party and said with a smile.

"Haha, Li Sheng is too awarded! The plantation is not a greenhouse, it's just a greenhouse, let you down, little sister!" Chen Tao turned his head and saw the girl who was not very interested, and said embarrassedly.

Li Ying cheered up and smiled: "I haven't seen the roses and already smelled the fragrance of the flowers, your roses must be very well cared for!

"Oh, it may be a matter of variety, but most of the roses have a very light fragrance, and if you don't put them on the tip of your nose and try to smell them, you can't smell them!

In the planting greenhouse, rows of half-meter-high, neatly trimmed rose plants contain buds, mist like veil, and the scenery is extraordinarily beautiful. Li Ying cheered, and then raised the camera on his chest to take pictures.

It only takes 60 to 90 days for roses to bloom in a greenhouse. Although it is not the season for roses, there are still many buds in bloom. Li Xuan's attention was obviously not focused on the flowers. He swept around, and soon found a control room separated by a glass curtain wall in the corner of the planting greenhouse, and many people were busy inside.

Li Xuan walked into the control room, and Zheng Chengyi, who was directing the technician to debug the machine, immediately recognized him, and although he was a little surprised, he immediately greeted his boss.

Li Xuan nodded at him, Zheng Chengyi is one of the Chinese engineers recruited from the United States by Dongfang Electronics Company, and he has technical experience in developing industrial control computers in the United States. He is also the general director of the industrial control computer project of the Oriental Research Institute entrusted by Aikang Company.

When Zheng Chengyi first joined Dongfang Electronics, Li Xuan, as the boss, had an in-depth exchange with him. Li Xuan has always believed that technicians are the greatest wealth of Dongfang Electronics. Therefore, in order to show his respect for them, he, the boss, will have at least one face-to-face in-depth communication with every senior engineer who joins Dongfang Electronics to listen to their ideas and ideas.

"This is the result you just sent?" Li Xuan asked, glancing at a host chassis placed on the console. This console is slightly larger than the case of the ABC series of computers, and it is all black.

Zheng Chengyi nodded: "This computer is the AIPC-100 industrial control computer that our group has just finalized, and Aikang has begun to organize production, and it will be launched in the near future!"

AIPC in A stands for Acorn, and IPC is the English abbreviation for industrial control computer. The internal structure of this AIPC-100 industrial computer is largely borrowed from the ABC-3 personal computer on the previous market. However, in order to adapt to the harsher working environment such as high dust, high temperature resistance, and high humidity in industrial production, the performance stability has been specially strengthened.

The development of industrial control computers has just started, and now most of the automation control in the industrial field is PLC (programmable logic control device). Compared with industrial computers, it is far inferior in terms of computing power and friendliness of man-machine interface.

Industrial control computer is also the second field that Aikang Computer has entered after personal computers. With the advancement of semiconductor and computer technology, industrial production is in a period of change towards automation, and the next development prospects of industrial computers are not smaller than those of personal computers. What's more, this market is just in its infancy, and the competition is far less fierce than that of personal computers.

At this time, a display interface appears on the computer display next to the computer main chassis.

"Li Sheng, our AIPC-100 can automatically accept the number on the temperature sensor, 12 degrees Celsius, which is the real-time temperature in the greenhouse now! The following 6.8 is the sudden pH value transmitted back by another sensor!" Zheng Chengyi pointed to the screen and explained.

The cultivation of roses is more demanding on the soil, which requires more acidic and fertile soil, and the local soil quality in Fanling is not suitable, and the quality needs to be improved regularly. (To be continued......)
