Chapter 218: Contracting Mountains and Forests
In less than ten days, Su Rui discovered that the rubber trees were beginning to produce rubber. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Usually, rubber trees of general varieties can start tapping at about six years old, which is also considered the initial production period and the yield is small.
When the age of the tree is 10 to 12 years, it is considered the peak production period of rubber trees, the rubber production is stable, the production potential is great, and this period can last about 20 years, and after the age of the tree reaches 30 years, it belongs to the period of decline and senescence, the yield will decline rapidly, and finally it will lose its economic value and be replaced by a new rubber tree.
And the rubber tree that Su Rui planted in the paradise of life has not yet taken ten days to count, even if there is a twenty times faster speed, at best, it will only be half a year.
This kind of rubber tree only needs half a year to grow from seed to gum production, which is more than ten times faster than ordinary varieties of rubber trees.
On top of that, Su Rui found that the yield of this rubber tree was not small, and according to the information he obtained, the yield of this rubber tree was many times that of ordinary rubber trees, and it was compared with the peak production period.
However, from the information he obtained from the peach source of life, he knew that this rubber tree can indeed meet the conditions for rubber production in half a year, and this belongs to the initial production period, and the yield is not high, but it can also produce 120 kg of dry rubber per year, and it can reach more than 200 kg after one year, and within two years, it can reach an annual output of 250 kg.
According to Su Rui's estimate, about 33 rubber trees of ordinary varieties can be planted per mu, and the average annual yield of dry rubber per mu is about 100 kilograms.
And this upgraded rubber tree, due to the large size, occupies more space, an acre can only be planted about 20, but the initial production period of a rubber tree, the annual output has reached 120 kg of dry rubber, which is equivalent to the yield of an ordinary variety of one mu, in the peak production period after two years, the annual output can reach 250 kg.
Planting 20 rubber trees per acre, the yield can reach up to more than 5,000 kilograms that year, which is the amazing yield of this rubber tree, which is equivalent to twenty-five times that of ordinary varieties.
Although there are high-yielding rubber tree varieties in some places, no matter how high the yield is, it is unlikely to be even higher.
The annual yield of one acre of rubber trees reaches more than 5,000 kilograms, which is unique, and only a life modifier can create such a miracle.
Su Rui didn't expect that after the Life Modifier upgrade, the yield of this rubber tree would increase so high, which was something he didn't expect, and it also gave him a lot of new ideas.
Of course, he knows that the yield of rubber trees is not the most important, the important thing is what is the difference between this kind of rubber and ordinary natural rubber, if it cannot meet the standards of natural rubber, or it may not be able to be used, then no matter how high the yield is, it is meaningless.
Unless the rubber produced by this rubber tree can reach the practical value of natural rubber, then this high yield has an unusual significance.
Therefore, after the rubber tree in the paradise of life began to produce rubber, Su Rui did the first thing to harvest a part of it, and then immediately sent it to the laboratory for testing and analysis.
When he was analyzing in the laboratory, he was not idle, and he was also doing experiments in the paradise of life.
Through the information from the paradise of life, Su Rui knows many characteristics of this rubber tree, for example, this rubber tree has very low requirements for the growth environment, and can grow in many harsh environments, but it needs abundant water sources, and if the water source is insufficient, the rubber production will be extremely low.
In addition, this rubber tree has very low requirements for water source, not only can be directly irrigated with rainwater, fresh water and seawater, and even all kinds of toxic wastewater and sewage can be directly absorbed and transformed.
Through this, Su Rui found a business opportunity, even if the rubber produced has no value, it can absorb and transform wastewater and sewage, which is a very useful role, and can treat wastewater through rubber trees, thereby reducing the cost of sewage treatment, if the rubber produced is the same as other natural rubber, the value is even greater.
So, at the thought of this, he began to sit still.
While testing rubber in the laboratory, Su Rui began to look for a place to plant the rubber tree.
In the end, after making some choices, he decided to contract land in a town in Yanyun City, and he took a fancy to Jiesheng Town.
For Jiesheng Town, when Su Rui didn't come out to go to college before, he went there many times, and a lot of land there was deserted, especially the mountains and forests, which were burned bare by several mountain fires, and no one contracted, so the land was wasted, and these mountains and forests are not high, they can be used to plant fruits and the like, and they are naturally suitable for planting rubber trees.
If it is an ordinary variety of rubber tree, the land of Jiesheng Town may not meet the planting conditions, and the environment may not be suitable, but this upgraded rubber tree is different, the requirements for the environment are extremely low, and it can be planted in most environments, and the environment of Jiesheng Town is naturally no problem.
On top of that, the town has plenty of rainfall and a lot of water nearby, which is enough to support the growth of rubber trees.
This time, Su Rui chose to plant rubber trees in Jiesheng Town, and for this reason, he also made a special trip.
After working for a while, he directly contracted a mountain forest, with an area of more than 1,000 acres, and the contract price was not high.
After all, the mountains and forests of Jiesheng Town are deserted and bare, and the cadres of the villages and towns have long wanted people to contract, but no one is willing, which has always been a headache.
And now, Su Rui is willing to contract, the village and town cadres are naturally very willing, and the villagers have no opinion, someone contracts the mountains and forests, and the villagers can also get some rent every year, why not.
Therefore, he only used a small contract price to contract 1,000 acres of mountain forest, and prepared to plant rubber trees.
After the contracted matter was resolved, Su Rui invited a local contractor to transform the mountain forest to make it suitable for planting rubber trees for later management and harvesting.
Since these mountains and forests are relatively flat, the renovation project is not complicated, and it does not cost much money and does not take much time.
In a few days, Su Rui confirmed all these things, and asked the contractor to start work as soon as possible, and he wanted to plant rubber trees in the fastest time.
The village and town cadres are also very concerned about this matter, mainly because after the rubber forest is planted, it must be artificial, which can create benefits and jobs for the village and town, and the cadres naturally hope that this matter will be done as soon as possible.
With the attention of these cadres, Su Rui's rubber forest should be implemented quickly, and the procedures will be approved quickly.
This time, the formalities of this rubber forest are complete, and it is only a matter of time.
