When he first returned to the farm, Li Sheng was still quite busy. The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info dealt with the matter on Finn's side, and he went to the apiary to see the progress of the expansion. Although it has only been half a month away, the construction progress here is not slow. Those built between trees were slower, but not the ones that were built directly in the clearing. Although it also had to be built several floors, it was not difficult for the engineering team to build it with a large log more than 20 meters high.

However, even if these apiaries are built, it will take a long time for them to function as they should. He plans to expand his production not only to increase the production of honey, but also to provide more raw materials for Nam Kwong Pharmaceutical to make rheumatic medicinal wine. It will take at least half a year to do this.

After Li Sheng looked at the project, he found Cheng Dong and said, "How is the new hive being prepared now?"

"Twenty thousand have been made. In a month, it should reach 80,000. Cheng Dong thought for a while and said. "We've tried, and as long as there is a suitable hive, it's not difficult to introduce this kind of bee. The other day, we did an experiment, and after putting a hive in a new hive, a new queen soon appeared. ”

Li Sheng glanced at Cheng Dong appreciatively. He didn't explain this matter, but Cheng Dong had already done it. He laughed and said, "That's good." If you need anything, you can find Lao Zhang. ”

He remembered one thing: "How is the yield of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest now?"

Cheng Dong said with a smile: "It's not raining much now, but it's still very wet. Especially at night, the temperature drops in the forest, and there is always dew in the bamboo forest. Although the production of bamboo shoots is much less, there is still a lot. And the same is true of the bamboo sunflower. The production is about half less than before, but the production is stable every day. I think I can collect it for more than half a month. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You can talk to Lao Zhang about this matter." Let him prepare how to arrange the workers. ”

"I will. ”

After explaining to Cheng Dong, he went to the rose greenhouse. On the way, he saw workers covering the water of Xiangxi with cement slabs. This is what he confessed before leaving. This will not only prevent the water from being diluted too lightly during the rainy season, but also prevent it from being evaporated too much during the dry season.

The cultivation of roses and mulberry trees in Xiangxi was also the work he had assigned before leaving, and he went for a trip to see the progress.

The cuttings were all placed in the greenhouse, and Li Sheng went into one of the greenhouses where the seedlings were cultivated, and there happened to be someone watering inside. It was the person in charge of these greenhouses, the girl's name was Luo Fangfang, an agricultural college student recruited from Huaxia the year before last.

This twenty-two-year-old girl is very serious about her work. Almost all of the roses in these rose greenhouses have survived, as you can see from this.

Luo Fangfang looks very ordinary, but her eyes are always very smart. Seeing Li Sheng coming, she didn't put down her work, and waited until Li Sheng walked to his side before turning off the sprinkler and greeting him: "Boss." ”

Li Sheng glanced at the branches that had been cut into the seedling bag, and found that many of them had begun to sprout, nodded to her and said, "The survival rate of this batch is quite high." ”

Luo Fangfang nodded and said, "Boss, the survival rate of this batch should be more than 95%. ”

"Well, that's good. When do you think you can transplant? ”

Luo Fangfang thought for a moment and said, "It should be okay this week." For those that have already been planted, some of the shoots can already be used for cuttings. ”

"Really?"

"Spring is the time when plants grow the fastest. Especially the roses in the greenhouse grow very quickly, and there are already new branches that can be cuttings. Those mulberry trees didn't work before, but now you can cut some for cuttings. Luo Fangfang said with a smile. "It's just that if you use those rose pruning cuttings that have already been planted alive, you need to be careful. If the pruning is not done properly, it may affect the harvest during the first flowering period. ”

Li Sheng heard her say: "Xiao Luo, you studied flowers before, and do you think these roses will be able to bloom this year?"

Luo Fangfang said shyly: "We are just junior college students, and we are not so detailed in the discipline, but we have learned the basics of the planting industry." The knowledge of flower planting is learned from a recent book. She paused and continued to answer Li Sheng's question. "I found the soil to be fertile, and the roses should have reached sexual maturity and had a largely well-developed root system. It is likely to start flowering today. ”

Li Sheng doesn't understand this thing. Regardless of whether Luo Fangfang is right or not, Li Sheng still appreciates such a person who knows self-improvement. He nodded and said, "If it really blooms, you have a lot of credit." ”

"Owner, it's mostly very good soil. And even if there is a credit, it is also a credit to all of us in the flower cultivation department. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "All have credit." You're busy, I'll take a look at the other greenhouses. He already felt that in the future, Luo Fangfang would be responsible for the planting of these flowers.

In other greenhouses where roses are grown, Li Sheng found that the newly grown branches of roses were indeed old enough to be pruned for cuttings. New shoots are still developing. These cuttings, which are still very young, will certainly not work, but they should be ripe enough to produce buds in two months.

After seeing a few greenhouses, neat greenhouses, and the work of the workers in an orderly manner, he added another trust in Luo Fangfang's ability.

After looking at the greenhouse, he went to Sangtian to have a look. He found that the mulberry tree was also growing vigorously, and felt that it was time for him to speed up the cultivation of colorful silkworms.

He was about to go to the two experts who raised insects, but received a call from Feng Xiaoting.

Feng Xiaoting said on the phone that he was waiting for him in the villa. There was something strange in his heart. It had only been less than two days since Feng Xiaoting took away the water he had taken out of the space, so why did he come to look for him. Could it be that there is something wrong with the experiment?

He changed direction and returned to the villa and saw Feng Xiaoting waiting for him outside the villa door.

Seeing him, Feng Xiaoting greeted him and said, "Boss, let's talk outside." ”

Li Sheng's heart jumped. Feng Xiaoting's caution is not only manifested in experiments. He has a strong sense of secrecy. If he encounters something that needs to be kept secret, Feng Xiaoting will find a place where no one is outside to talk to him. This may be due to his earlier experience.

He saw that Feng Xiaoting's face was very serious, and knew that he had something very important to talk about. He nodded and said, "Let's talk as we go." ”

After they walked out of the courtyard of the villa for more than 100 meters, Feng Xiaoting spoke: "Boss, the water I brought back the day before yesterday did appear a layer of oil splashes in the time I entered it for a day. ”

Li Sheng was not surprised by this.

However, Feng Xiaoting's next words made him have to pay attention: "There are indeed some anaerobic and light-proof bacteria in those waters. There is almost no dissolved oxygen in that water, and very little carbon dioxide. Other substances have not been tested. But I suspect that those bacteria are bacteria that can use carbon dioxide as a carbon source for metabolism, and the products of metabolism are hydrocarbons. That is, the components of petroleum. ”

He said that Li Sheng's face was flat, and he knew that these bosses might have already known. He said in a deep voice: "I think boss, you are planning to use this water to artificially produce oil." But I advise you not to expose this matter until you are not capable of confronting the world. ”

Li Sheng stood still suddenly, chewed his words, frowned and asked, "You mean, this thing will make me fight against the whole world?"

Feng Xiaoting nodded and said, "I do have this worry. ”

Li Sheng looked into his eyes and asked, "Why do you feel like this?"

"The two world wars of the last century were for market and world dominance. And when superweapons came out, the theme of the world became development, because no one could afford the losses of war. It is true that the world has been developing for nearly a hundred years. However, the development of the past hundred years has also turned the main thing that countries around the world are competing for into energy to maintain their own development. ”

"Energy?" Li Sheng thought about it and felt that what he said was not unreasonable.

The competition for the market was the theme of the second half of the last century. In the 21st century, there is no country that cannot completely control the world, and the markets of all countries in the world have also been cultivated, although the competition for the market is still fierce. However, up to now, the competition among the world's major powers has changed from the essence of market competition to capital accumulation to its own sustainable development.

Energy is a must for sustainable development. So the competition for control of energy is fierce. If you have energy, you can continue to grow, and without energy, development will stagnate.

Feng Xiaoting looked at him in deep thought and continued: "Several powerful economies in the world have their own development strategies. The United States has always been the world leader. It controls the world's main energy source. But it is also challenged by Huaxia, and even Europe and Jipan have the strength to challenge him. But neither China nor Jipan is confident enough to beat the United States in terms of energy competition. So they're making a big push for electric vehicles. The United States is still the world's largest oil consumer, but they do not pay as much attention to the development of new energy as other countries. ”

Li Sheng didn't understand what he meant by this.

Feng Xiaoting whispered: "I think it can be maliciously guessed that the hawks in the United States are waiting to start another world war." However, at this stage, the support for the war in the United States is not high, and he is not sure that he can still act as the world boss after defeating China alone. So they need to wait for the situation in the world to change, to get the Americans to support the war, and at the same time to give them the opportunity to pull Europe to their side again. However, China is vigorously developing new energy, and I think it is also preparing for a new world war, and its dependence on oil can be reduced. At the same time, it also means to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. ”

Li Sheng looked at him strangely and said, "Aren't you a scientist? Why do I look like a politician?" ”

Feng Xiaoting smiled and said, "I'm just used to thinking cranky during the time I was held hostage by drug dealers. Who cares if the world is what I think it is?"

"I care!" Li Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice. "If it's really like you say. If I really come up with an artificial technology that can produce oil in large quantities. It will indeed become Tang monk meat, and let the gods and goddesses of the world become monsters. ”

Feng Xiaoting's face was also full of seriousness, and said: "But this is something that has an impact on the world more important than nuclear weapons, if you put it away, you don't have to waste it." ”

Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "It seems a little early to talk about this now. How efficient this thing is is another matter. ”

"Any technology is not ideal at the beginning. But anyone wants promising technology. (To be continued.) )
