For the second and third days, they were enjoying nature.

Outdoor hunting and picnic activities were organized on the way, and the number of hunts was based on the statistics of professionals, which did not affect the ecological balance, such as this year, a stray male lion and an aging lioness can be hunted; Can hunt a dozen gazelles, a small number of deer.

Hunting and picnics in private private fields are very comfortable. On the way, find a suitable spot, take off the barbecue equipment from the car, the men slaughter the prey, the women prepare the materials, and the children also have to do it themselves, developing the ability to be independent and cooperative.

Everything was going on meaningfully, and on the fourth day, Meng Qian and Tiger took a short-range jet to the capital to deal with his official becoming a chief. Antananarivo is not as dilapidated as it might seem, it has been influenced by French colonialism and retains a lot of European-style architecture.

In the newly built presidential palace, they met with President César. Hamid.

"Congratulations, Cesar!" Meng Qian smiled and hugged the other party, "I saw the vitality you brought to this country on the road. ”

"Sir, it's too much of a compliment." Hamid also smiled and looked at Tiger next to him: "Mr. Stone! ”

"Malagasy will benefit from your decision now." Tiger also hugged him, greeted him for a while, and then talked about economic and investment issues.

The Meng Qian and Stone families own six foreign-owned companies in the region, engaged in minerals, gemstones, oil and other fields, which are the backbone of the country's economy, accounting for at least 70% of GDP. Hamid is Western-educated, so he knows how to curry favor with investors.

Hamid is also a man with a long-term plan, and he wants to build on his existing strengths: resources. Promote the development of other fields. Agriculture, light industry, tourism, etc. He showed and shared a lot of planning. It is hoped that it will attract more investors, or state-owned investment.

"Don't worry buddy. We're here to help. Tiger also gave Hamid hope, even though he was only running for local resources.

But for a country where everything is in ruins, any investment can drive development in many fields, and Hamid has studied economics and knows how to take advantage of opportunities.

After talking about this, Tiger said the second thing: "Mr. Meng has investments and plans for local development, so I recommend him to become a local chief." ”

"You're very welcome, Mr. Meng!" Hamid looked at him.

Tiger's assistant brought the computer up: "I have demarcated the territory he has contracted, mainly in the northwest coastal area. About 100,000 square kilometers. ”

"I can help you with the formalities of land and title now." Hamid also knew their purpose, and immediately called officials from the Ministry of Land and Resources.

They draw up an agreement for the sale of the land, the territory belongs to the state, and the territory belongs to Meng Qian, but there are taxes to be paid, and the way in which the value of the land is assessed - it is not $10 million forever. Once a gold mine is discovered, or a city is formed, the value of land naturally increases.

Of course, the land is valuable, and the first beneficiary is the chief who holds it.

Meng Qian had no objection to the agreement and signed his name. Then sign the documents of the chief's identity. Finally, the president and the Great Chiefs, namely Hamid and Tiger, presented him with a certificate. The entire ceremony was carried out in the presence of the President, as well as the Secretariat and a small number of officials.

Meng Qian took the certificate and faced the camera, and just like that, he became a glorious chief.

And there is an extra nationality...... But Malagasy's passport had little value, even if he had a diplomatic passport. The strength of the passport depends on the international influence. When it develops and has the ability, the diplomatic passport will be valuable.

Afterwards. At the invitation of Hamid, they went to visit the city.

Mainly a visit to the business district. Take a look at the local development potential; If you go to the school, there is also a university in the local area. It's just that the conditions are very ordinary, and Meng Qian decided to donate 500,000 US dollars to help improve local education; And the university gave him the title of Bachelor with Honors.

mixed the name of a great benevolent person, and then went to the suburbs to visit their agriculture and animal husbandry economy, if you want to talk about Meng Qian's feelings, I can describe it in one sentence: African agriculture is underdeveloped.

It is indeed very backward here, maintaining primitive farming, and even people in other areas still continue the tradition of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water.

Food and clothing are still a major problem in this country.

"Why not mobilize more people to engage in agriculture?" Meng Qian had doubts on the way, obviously he had land and resources, but it was not like the harsh conditions of the African continent next door.

"It's about habits, politics and economics." Hamid certainly knows what is best for the first development, but the reality is very troublesome.

Africans' education level leads to lazy habits and short knowledge; The political game of the world's great powers does not want to see a rising Africa (as in the case of South Africa); The internal war in Africa has also made agricultural development intermittent; The shortcomings of the economy are even more difficult to develop.

"You still have so much to change and improve." This is Meng Qian's final conclusion, without strength, you will never find a future. Africa, which has no strength, can only be fooled by the big powers and cultivated as the backyard of their respective forces, waiting to be used one day in the future.

At the end of the visit, the only local television station broadcast the series of events, and the president accompanied two foreigners who have a significant impact on the domestic economy, deciding on the future of investment enterprises and the development of the country. Although they have gained a certain level of respect and recognition, people are more concerned with being fed.

Meng Qian was also thinking about these issues after he returned.

In fact, not only Africa, but also China and India, which are large agricultural countries, will face this kind of problem -- the population is increasing and the consumption is increasing.

35% of the world's population is still below the subsistence line, and if the entire human race is averaged, human beings have only reached "six points full", but the consumption is getting worse.

According to statistics, global livestock production accounts for 18% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and livestock production occupies one-third of the world's arable land resources and one-tenth of the world's water.

From the perspective of humanity as a whole, this is no longer a problem for the people of Africa, but a burden for the whole world, including the developed countries, as the global population grows.

Could there be a better solution?

Meng Qian has all kinds of advanced technologies to improve crop yields, shorten the time and cost of animal husbandry, and reduce the consumption of natural resources?

His head gave an affirmative answer.

Technology can change all this, for example, crops that mix multiple biotechnologies can make wheat, rice, and corn grow more tenaciously and produce higher yields;

Another example is the development of bionic food. It is mainly used as plant raw materials to produce bionic meat, with very high plant content and the effect of replacing meat with vegetarian food; And its taste, cooking effect and nutritional value are not inferior to real meat.

But even if a plant consumes less resources, it is still limited by time. Both plants and animals take time to grow, and the cost of growing them is high, requiring a lot of arable land and farms, as well as labor costs.

If you can ...... in other ways faster Microbe?

Microorganisms multiply very quickly, and microbial foods can be produced in large quantities in a small fermentation area. For example, 500 kg of microorganisms can produce 1,250 kg of protein in 24 hours, while a 500 kg cow can only produce 0.5 kg of protein per day.

In contrast, microorganisms produce proteins that are typically high yields and fast.

If we can master the technology of using protein to make bionic food, we will be able to easily solve the problem of food and clothing for human beings in the future. Even if the earth grows to 15 billion people, the pressure to survive is very small, and it is a good thing to return farmland to forests and liberate more labor.

The benefits for the future of humanity are clear.

Those who can master this technology will surely master the "rice bowl" of human beings, and the economic benefits in this are also surprisingly high -- if they can do good deeds and make money, why not do it?

Meng Qian thought a lot on the way back, the technology of cultivating microorganisms to make bionic food should belong to the "cell food technology", which has many advantages but is far away.

It will probably not be a reality until 50 years from now, and it is still subject to various constraints - cost, materials, mass acceptance, etc.

To be more realistic, he would first invest in African agriculture and even in Asia and elsewhere with more realistic technologies to double production per unit area.

Being close to reality means that it is very simple for him, not to mention that with the help of AI, the time he has researched is ...... Quite a while.

Through the satellite network, Xiao V, who is far away in California, transmitted the answer to its analysis: it brings several powerful biofertilizers; Three new foods that combine the characteristics of the earth's crops and gene synthesis.

"Efficiency!" Meng Qian was satisfied.

Then he thought about how to implement it, of course, he himself didn't have much time to do it himself, he still had a lot of things to do - he could only set up a company, recruit people who were willing to do this, have enthusiasm, and then communicate with virtual characters to develop the technology.

Meng Qian only needs to be an investor and promote it to the world. (To be continued.) )
