Chapter 261: Bean Sowing
Zhang Zhi stood on the deck of a moving steamer, looking at the somewhat calm sea off Tianjin, he felt a lot of emotion. This is his second visit to Jinmen.
After Zhang Zhi boarded the ship, he calmed down on the deck. Looking at the blue sea from the bow of the ship, my heart is extraordinarily peaceful.
He came to Tianjin for the first time to solve the problem of water shortage in China. Guo Daliang's current water company has begun to supply water to northwestern China.
Some scattered water companies in the north, they and the water companies in the south, under strong pressure, carried out asset merger and reorganization. Formed the Bluewater Water Group, they competed with each other.
Bluewater Group buys water from the waterworks set up by Xingyu Technology in Yantai and Ningbo. Water supply to the central and southwestern regions.
They used the previous water network, slightly renovated, and soon built a water network covering most of the country.
Guo Daliang: They have not competed with Bluewater Group. Qu Xiaoyan and Zhang Zhi said that they could not raise a water monopoly. The policy of the state also does not allow it.
From the state preparing to establish the Southern Water Group, they saw the rapid development of the Blue Water Group and gave up setting up their own company. Immediately take a stake in and support Bluewater Group. You can see what the country thinks.
Zhang Zhi came to Jinmen for the second time, which was to solve the food problem in Huaxia. The people live on food, and from ancient times to the present, a country that does not let people have enough to eat, it will not be stable.
It thinks of the tragic experience of the former Soviet Union, for a number of reasons. In the former Soviet Union, there was a food shortage that affected the whole country.
As a result, money was used to buy grain, and the major grain-producing countries at that time were under the control of Western capital.
Western countries have not sold a single grain of grain. In the end, I couldn't help it. Buy grain with the country's reserve gold. The high prices almost drained the treasury.
Zhang Zhi estimated that there was really a food shortage crisis in Huaxia, and what happened was much more terrifying than this. Raising 1.4 billion people is much more difficult than the 2 or 300 million people in the former Soviet Union, and there are almost no suppliers.
Zhang Zhi looked at the sea off Jinmen, which was far away from the international shipping lane. There is very little nutrients in the water, and it is not a fish area.
It is no longer by the sea, it is more than 20 kilometers away from the shore. It cannot be used as a sea area for aquaculture.
There are many such places in China, they could not produce the slightest value before, but now they can be used as the granary of China.
Zhang Zhi was thinking about this when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
He looked back and saw that it was Li Lingqiu who came to look for him.
Li Lingqiu asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, the sea is windy, what are you doing standing at the bow of the ship blowing the wind? My second uncle came here on behalf of the government, and he was in the cabin. It's not good that you just met him and left. ”
After Li Lingqiu finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Zhi back to the cabin.
Zhang Zhi knew that Qu Xiangsheng, Minister of Agriculture, led officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to watch the sowing of water beans.
They came to the hall of the steamer, and Zhang Zhi looked into the hall.
Wei Yiyao was holding the map, nervously arranging the sowing plan.
Qu Xiaoyan and a middle-aged man were talking happily, he and Qu Xiaoyan looked very similar in some places, this is Qu Xiaoyan's father, Qu Xiangsheng, Minister of Agriculture.
Zhang Zhi smiled, took Li Lingqiu's hand, and walked over to greet them.
"Hello second uncle, are you still used to being at sea this time? ”
Qu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Zhi, and he couldn't stop nodding. Very satisfied with Zhang Zhi's performance.
He said indifferently: "Don't be so polite, we are all family." If the bean is successful, it will have a subversive impact on the agricultural field in our country, and I must understand it clearly so that I can formulate policies. ”
Zhang Zhi and Qu Xiangsheng chatted, and Qu Xiaoyan was inconvenient to reply to the question, Zhang Zhi could answer it to satisfy Qu Xiangsheng's curiosity.
Zhang Zhi felt that the boat had stopped at this time, and saw Wei Yiyao walking towards him at this time. Zhang Zhi estimated that he had already arrived at the designated sea area.
Wei Yiyao said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, we have reached the designated sea area, and we can sow water beans and water soybeans. ”
Zhang Zhi consulted Qu Xiangsheng's opinion and saw that he agreed. Zhang Zhi immediately instructed Wei Yiyao to start sowing.
Zhang Zhi and the others immediately went out of the cabin, ready to take a look at the sowing of water beans.
Zhang Zhi saw CCTV reporters interviewing on the deck, and they had already released drones. Underwater cameras are being released.
On either side of the ship were two coast guard speedboats, speeding towards the bean-growing area, where they would often patrol to maintain order.
Not far from Zhang Zhi saw the steamer, a white grid floating on the water. They are anchored in the water.
Behind the ship, there is also a 10,000-ton freighter, which is a robot that carries seeds and is responsible for planting.
He saw that on the freighter, people were constantly throwing seeds into the sea with cranes, and they threw down more than a dozen robots.
After the freighter had dumped some of its cargo, they were moving in the distance. Unloading cargo to another sea area.
The sea area planted by Xingyu Technology is very large. It's the size of a small half of the Jinmen.
Zhang Zhi looked very strange when he saw this robot. From the outside, it looks like the submarine has a few more mechanical arms.
They are in their own cabins, filled with enough seeds, and then sink into the water in a laid grid, sowing the seeds of water beans and water soybeans.
The aperture of the grid is just slightly smaller than the seed, so that they do not sink into the water.
CCTV reporters used underwater cameras to film the sowing process of seeds.
When Qu Xiangsheng saw this sowing method, he asked suspiciously: "If you plant like this, you don't care about them, can the seeds germinate? How do they fix themselves and not be afraid of drifting away?"
Li Lingqiu said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't worry, we have already calculated that it can germinate in Qinghai Lake, and it is no problem in the sea." ”
"It grows secondary roots, tightly wrapped around the grid. Half of them are underwater and can photosynthesize left and right in the water. ”
They put all their eyes on the front, and the robot works very fast, and when they are chatting, they have already planted one area and worked towards another.
Li Lingqiu commanded the experts of Xingyu Technology, and together with the experts of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, they arranged the instruments to collect the data of water beans and detect the environment.
Li Lingqiu opened a light curtain map, and everyone saw that this map was square, and the planting area of water beans and water soybeans was formal.
I saw them light up at the speed of the naked eye, which is a sign of success.
They watched the bean planting from the boat, and everyone was very excited.
Zhang Zhi saw that it was noon, the planting of water beans was completed, and most of the planting of water soybeans was completed.
This time, the planting area of water beans is two-fifths, and most of them are water soybeans. At that time, there was a shortage of edible oil in China.
Every year, it costs a lot of money to import a large amount of palm oil from Southeast Asia and genetically modified soybean oil from Brazil.
Just looking at instant noodles, which is the food field, Huaxia occupies the majority of the world's production. Its fuel consumption is staggering, and most of it is made from palm oil, which tastes bad.
Zhang Zhigang wanted to invite everyone to a water bean banquet, but he saw that the leader of the Jinmen Coast Guard Department had a very bad face.
He walked over to everyone, sighed and said, "Minister Qu, Mr. Zhang Zhi." Something went wrong, and it may not be possible to grow beans here. ”
