Chapter 29 Digital Ranching
Since the middle of May, after the first batch of cattle entered the pasture, there are dozens of vehicles in the pasture every day, there are cattle, sheep, and cows, etc., until the end of July, all of them are delivered, these livestock are only half of the pasture, no way, the ranch is too big, the rest can only wait until the future to make up, not that it can not be made up now, but now there is no need, just these Ling Shishi's agricultural and animal husbandry trading companies to digest all it takes 3-5 years, and after all these production capacity is digested, it is not too late to increase production.
Dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep and goats alone, the total number has reached 18w, of which the cow is 6w, for which several super-large modern automatic dairy sheds have been built, which is an automated plant integrating breeding automation, cow manure processing automation, sanitation and cleaning automation, milking automation, milk source deep processing automation, etc. In addition, there are modern beef cattle sheds, sheep sheds, chicken houses, duck houses, goose houses, etc., those animal manure are sent to the intelligent biogas treatment center for treatment, the whole ranch has a super large biogas treatment center, which is designed by Ling Shizhe according to the treatment technology of the central biogas plant in Denmark in later generations, and also draws on the biogas treatment experience of the later Republic.
At present, the biogas treatment technology in this time and space is too backward, and the treatment is laborious and laborious, dangerous and unhygienic, and the technology is not mature at all. In view of this, Ling Shizhe simply took out the mature biogas treatment technology of the later generations, and the biogas treatment center designed by Ling Shizhe drew on a large number of biogas treatment technologies from the later generations of Denmark and the Republic of China and the intelligent control and management technology of the later generations to form a biogas technology with distinctive characteristics of Ling Shizhe.
Although the biogas technology of the later Republic is good, most of it is used in small rural households, and the biggest feature of this technology is that it has less investment, is efficient, simple to use, and almost does not require any maintenance, so it is quite convenient to maintain. But the pasture used in North America is not good, it must meet the large-scale treatment requirements of the pasture, and at the same time, it is also necessary to achieve relatively small investment, extremely high treatment efficiency, maintenance costs, and the use of the cost should be as low as possible, the more convenient the use of the better, the best is how to facilitate how to come, and at the same time also need to be reliable, safe, hygienic, leak-free and durable, which requires this biogas treatment center must have the requirements of computerization, automatic monitoring and management, Responsible for the high labor costs in North America alone can crush you to death.
Drawing on the experience of the Republic of China, this intelligent biogas treatment center is divided into six parts: feeding, production, discharging and connecting transportation, as well as biogas storage and organic fertilizer storage centers. Feeding is to put the animal manure produced by each livestock and poultry house, through the automatic manure treatment and cleaning system, the manure of these animals and poultry is automatically fed into the feed port, and then transported to the large septic treatment tank through the dark pipe buried in the ground and connected to the septic treatment center for processing, and the biogas and organic fertilizer are produced. Only the biogas treatment center uses solar biogas treatment technology.
And the discharge port is simpler, it is a fully enclosed discharge port, there is a semi-closed water pressure tank next to it, when the biogas and organic fertilizer are processed to a certain amount, the organic waste liquid is sent to the discharge pool by using the principle of pressure difference, this discharge port also serves as the role of biogas decompression, when the biogas production reaches a certain pressure, it will automatically send the biogas to the biogas storage cabinet under the action of its own internal pressure, when the biogas storage tank is full, it can not be loaded, and the pressure of the treatment pool is still very high, so what to do, At this time, the water in the biogas digester will be squeezed into the discharge tank through the action of pressure, and the inlet of the discharge tank is at the bottom of the treatment tank, all under water, so as to ensure that the biogas will not leak at all.
The biogas storage tank is a kind of dual-mode gas storage tank, which is composed of a bottom membrane, an inner membrane, an outer membrane, a constant pressure control cabinet, a safety protector and some control equipment and auxiliary materials. In addition to storing biogas, it also stores a certain amount of neutral or inert gas such as carbon dioxide to ensure the safety of the biogas storage tank.
The biogas from the production site is sent to the center of the biogas generator room to generate electricity, and at the same time to supply electricity and heat to the entire pasture. The waste liquid of biogas treatment can be used as organic fertilizer to irrigate the pasture, which has a set of automatic irrigation system, the process is to pump the biogas from the discharge port and the ranch lake is the lake water to the water and fertilizer treatment tank and mix fertilizer and water according to a certain proportion, and then fertilize the pasture grass and vegetables and fruits and grain production base through the original irrigation pipe network system of the ranch, and the whole process adopts the automatic computer management system designed by Ling Shizhe himself for the whole process monitoring and management.
Among them, the irrigation pump and the original irrigation system of the pasture with the pump Ling Shizhe has been transformed, the pump is the natural energy pump irrigation system that appeared in the Republic of China in the later generations, it is the use of the natural energy of the water flow and the inverted siphon principle of the water, without consuming any energy, only relying on the natural energy of the way has achieved the purpose of irrigation and fertilization to the pasture.
When Ling Shizhe put forward the idea of a natural energy pump irrigation system, Ling Shishi, Thomas and the cowboys of the whole ranch did not believe that there was such a technology, no electricity, no need to burn oil, no need for any maintenance, such a pump would only appear in the Thousand and One Nights, which was completely fantastical. Ling Shizhe did not refute their disbelief, but went to the alpine orchard area in the northwest corner of the ranch for field investigation, and then returned to the laboratory to immerse himself in design. After a month, he came up with a complete set of full irrigation scheme for alpine orchards, the whole set of irrigation scheme is based on the improved design of Hughes's alpine irrigation system, which is very comprehensive for the alpine irrigation system, Hughes company's set is not as comprehensive as his, and most of the whole system is made of PVC materials.
Then the workers were summoned to work, without any explanation, only one order, and they started working in full swing, Ling Shizhe knew that it was useless to say anything, only to speak with facts. Although those cowboys don't believe it, but the professional quality is very good, the boss will do it, all in accordance with the requirements on the drawings strictly implemented, this kind of pump only needs the water potential drop of the creek and river only needs 50 centimeters to start, when completed, the pump test run is just a while The water will come up, and the head has reached more than 120 meters, but Thomas and other foreigners were stunned, and Ling Shishi was also seen to be colorful.
The natural energy pump became famous instantly, and soon the people of the whole ranch, the whole Ambrera company, the people of the chip factory and his family all came to see the non-powered irrigation system designed by Ling Shizhe. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and under word of mouth, reporters were also recruited, and after the propaganda of those reporters, the whole of North America finally knew about it. Heads and minds from Canada's Department of Agriculture, Water Resources, Energy and the United States, as well as U.S. President Richard Nixon and the Prime Minister of Canada, came to see the farm's non-powered pumped irrigation system and the newly built intelligent solar-powered biogas production system. Experts have calculated that if the system were to be used in all farms, the energy consumption alone would save hundreds of millions of dollars in energy costs per year, which is a maddening figure, not counting intelligent biogas production and organic fertilizer irrigation systems.
From then on, Ling Shishi and Thomas did not have any objections, and handed over all the planning of the ranch to Ling Shizhe to deal with. Ling Shizhe simply used their trust to carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the entire ranch, carried out a comprehensive redesign, and built the entire ranch into a fully digital ranch. When people enter the ranch's digital management center, they see rows of large and medium-sized computers, and they think they have entered the world of science fiction.
Ling Shizhe led his team to design a variety of solutions for the ranch, and selected an optimal solution from it, bringing the energy conservation and automatic management of the ranch to the extreme of this era, and the energy cost, fertilizer cost and various management and maintenance costs saved by the ranch alone are as high as more than 320 million US dollars per year.
In particular, the construction cost of the non-powered irrigation system is less than one-tenth of the equipment cost of the same store or power port of the project, and the comprehensive cost is only more than one-third, but absolutely less than half. It has very low requirements for water potential and only needs 50 miles to start. Once the pump is started, as long as the water in the small mountain stream or ditch continues to flow, the pump will not stop blowing, no electricity, no use, no need for manual duty, as long as the water pipe is not broken, pumping water no longer needs any cost, it can be said once and for all.
And the biogas generation and treatment center adopts a kind of generation and treatment center that combines the large-scale FRP biogas digester and solar biogas production technology, this FRP biogas digester is a kind of large-scale cylindrical metal tank built with FRP in the inner tank, it has the characteristics of excellent sealing, high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, anti-leakage, in the process of use, the area is small, the construction is fast, and the tank body does not need to be maintained in the use process; The solar biogas technology is a kind of solar collector to actively heat the biogas generator, so that the temperature in the biogas generator reaches the constant temperature state of biogas full fermentation, so that the biogas gas production rate is increased and the gas production is stable, which is the product of the combination of solar energy and biogas. The use of a variety of new energy composite patent technology, the traditional use of biogas technology to update, the use of solar energy and biogas engineering combination technology, effectively solve the traditional use of biogas six major disadvantages (air pollution, occupation of residential land, impact stability, difficult to manage, difficult to adjust gas use, low gas yield), widely used in farms, food processing and other industries.
The core of solar biogas is the solar collector, which has two kinds of low temperature system and medium and high temperature system, which are controlled by computer to achieve constant temperature control. Its principle is to convert the absorbed solar energy into heat energy through daylighting, and transport it to the FRP biogas tank or pool through the electric heat conduction pipe or PVC pipe, so as to increase the temperature of the biogas tank and achieve constant temperature.
Ling Shizhe named this pump using natural energy as a non-powered water pump, and applied for a patent, after Ling Shishi's ranch became famous, Ambrera received a lot of orders from farms and ranches throughout North America, including Europe, requiring their pastures and farms to install non-powered pump irrigation systems and biogas production management systems, orders are scheduled to 3 years later, the total amount is as high as 6 billion US dollars, eat these lists, the company's profits alone are as high as more than half, this is definitely a fattening business, After discussing with Alison, the company immediately set up a biogas and water energy division to handle the order, with Ling Shizhe's assistants Lawrence and Cai Zhiyang as the department's chief and deputy directors, Lawrence in charge of biogas, and Cai Zhiyang in charge of non-powered water pumps. The production of various water pipes and valves is entrusted to those professional water pipe companies to produce, requiring a variety of pumps and various sizes of containers and supporting various types of biogas boilers by the company's machining companies in the United States and Hong Kong, and at the same time in the company to set up a biogas energy development and non-powered water pump and irrigation research center, responsible for the study of farm and industrial biogas systems, including biogas power generation, biogas boilers, biogas purification, biogas desulfurization, biogas fermentation, solar biogas, biogas digestion, Biogas storage and various non-powered water pumps, etc.
Biogas technology route Ling Shizhe took the later Danish biogas technology, later generations to say that the most advanced country in biogas technology is Denmark, Ling Shizhe remembered that he crossed into this world, Denmark has established 60 central biogas plants. Biogas is a good source of energy, biogas technology can effectively reduce nitrate emissions, eliminate odors, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, can make full use of organic waste, is conducive to agricultural production and environmental protection. There is a great market prospect in the future, and Ambrera can enter the field of power generation in the future through its research on biogas.
The company's headquarters have all moved to the chip factory in Montreal, and now the production capacity of the chip factory has reached the full capacity of 10 million pieces, and now Ling Shizhe's annual output of cameras is still 10 units, and two kinds of fixed focus cameras have not been produced, this kind of camera is not used in developed countries, and all of them are zoom cameras, especially the zoom cameras with large lenses, and the company's design department has designed 3 models of zoom cameras with large lenses, and the highest price has reached more than 900 US dollars. This year, Ling Shizhe Company issued a new task to develop underwater cameras, and those diving enthusiasts were the target customers.
After these tasks were arranged, Ling Shizhe went to the conference room, Yu Nick and others studied the RISC server, he didn't plan to work on this project, but when designing a fully digital ranch management system for Ling Shishi's ranch, a lot of large and medium-sized computers and small computers needed were all inefficient and extremely expensive, Ling Shizhe spent more than 30 million US dollars, IBM and DEC company came to the digital ranch because of his design. After the successful design of the digital ranch management system, this deserted Ambrera community - Raccoon Town (Bad Taste) became famous all over the world overnight, and many people came to Raccoon Town to visit the digital computer ranch.
Among the people who came were many European and American celebrities, including many large ranchers and ranchers, as well as Hollywood stars and dignitaries from all over the world, and even Thomas Watson of IBM and Kenneth Olsen, the founder of DEC. After seeing Ling Shishi's digital ranch, those big ranchers and big farmers thought that Ambrera Company had sent an order, asking them to help them build such a digital farm according to this standard, including non-powered pump irrigation systems and solar biogas generation systems, automated stables, etc., the orders alone are currently more than 50, Watson and Olsen saw that Ling Shizhe received so many orders and even laughed badly, 50 farms have ranch transformation orders, how many computers are needed, With more than 300 PDP-8 small machines produced by DEC used in Ling Shishi Ranch alone, nearly 100 medium-sized machines and 20 large machines used by IBM, it is no wonder that they have such bright smiles on their faces.
It's a pity that Ling Shizhe can't laugh, although these orders are very profitable, but the largest head is earned by IBM and DEC company, Ambrera company can only earn a small head, although the profit of this small head is also not low, Ambrera company is also very full, but Ling Shizhe just feels very uncomfortable, he can't earn a penny from those computers.
The future of Ambrera is to become a semiconductor giant like Intel and Arm in the future, and become a world-famous chip manufacturer and supplier, but now, Ling Shizhe promoted the new 100,000-level computer CPU of the company's RISC department to their two companies, and they actually want all of them, although they praise the design of this processor is great, but both of them have their own chip design and production departments, and they don't need his processor at all. Even Hughes and Texas Instruments, as well as Japan's Sony, Hitachi, etc., don't want the processors he produces, the reason is the same one, they have their computer processor technology, they buy Ambrera processors, they have to redesign a new computer for him, not to mention the need to redevelop new operating software and application software for it, when the time comes, what will happen to the computers they designed before, do they abandon it, how can this work?
In this way, the new chips developed by Ling Shizhe's team appeared in an embarrassing situation that could not be sold, on the one hand, they were all excellent, Ling Shizhe produced the classic processors designed by the MIPS company in the later generations for 80 years, MIPS (MillionInstructionsPerSecond): "Microprocessor without internal interlocking piped stages" (MicroprocessorWithoutInterlockedPipedstages), The mechanism is to make use of software methods to avoid data-related problems in the pipeline as much as possible. It was first developed in the early 80s by a research team led by Professor Hennessy at Stanford University. MIPS' R series is a microprocessor developed on the basis of RISC industrial products, which is a very popular RISC processor in later generations.
Ling Shizhe's processor is based on the excellent design of the ARM core fusion of MIPS processor, and launched a new 8-bit RISC central processing unit, named by him (PerformanceOptimizedwithEnhancedRISC), which uses 10 micron process technology, and the computing speed has reached 100,000 levels (processing 10W instruction set operations per second). Faced with this situation, Ling Shizhe had no choice but to start the RISC computer in advance.
After arriving at the lab, Nien and Mark have arrived, Mark is the head of the CISC department in Hong Kong, specializing in the development of complex instruction set CPUs, and Nien is responsible for the reduced instruction set CPUs of the North American RISC department are two very different departments. But now Hong Kong's CISC department is still an empty shell, and now CISC has nothing except Ling Shizhe took out the 4004 and 8008 processors of the later generations, Ling Shizhe's plan is to put the North American RISC on the right track first, and then he will bring the CISC out in Hong Kong, and now it has to be empty. At present, Hong Kong's main task is the design and development of new chip process production technology. Rather than let him waste empty, it is better to call Mark and his five CPU design and development personnel in Hong Kong to North America to help the CPU design department in North America design RISC processors.
After greeting Nien and Mark, Ling Shizhe poured a glass of water from the water dispenser, and then went to a newspaper chair on the bookshelf to look through it, the famous Los Angeles Times in the United States, the front page headline is the prediction of the future market of computer cameras, and the global demand for computer cameras this year alone will reach more than 10 million units. Seeing these reports, Ling Shizhe couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he thought of the report provided by the economic research and development department led by O'Nilson.
The head of the public economic research department is a newly established department this year is O'Nilson, O'Nelson just came, and he criticized Ling Shizhe's behavior of listing the fixed-focus camera and the zoom camera at the same time, and the expert head of the economic research department, O'Nilson, said in Ling Shizhe's research report that Ling Shizhe should not have come out with the zoom lens camera in advance, and should wait for a few years, and should first go to the fixed-focus camera project, and make almost the profits of the fixed-focus camera, and launch the zoom camera.
Now, fixed-focus cameras are not in demand in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and people only need zoom cameras, and fixed-focus cameras can now only make hard-earned money in developing countries, which simply does not meet the standard of maximizing benefits. The company lost the profit of the fixed focus camera in the next few years, and this part of the loss exceeded 10 billion US dollars, look at the demand for computer cameras in the global market now, the demand for computer cameras this year alone exceeded 10 million, how much will it be next year? And how much is the year after?
Think about how many people there are in the world now, nearly 5 billion people, a fixed-focus camera sells for 300 to 350 US dollars, and the market is 30 to 3.5 billion US dollars this year, and it is not a problem to double or quadruple the year after next, and how much will it increase in the year after next, have you calculated? There is also the launch of the fixed focus camera to open up the market, when the market is fully opened, the zoom camera for large-scale distribution, how much should be made at that time? And now, the prime camera is sold in the developing world for a small amount of money, the highest price is less than 280 US dollars, the global market has not been fully opened, we have to use the most profitable zoom camera to open the market, God, we will lose tens of billions of dollars in the future, it is simply incalculable.
Seeing O'Nelson's report that Ling Shizhe regretted his death, after the point-and-shoot cameras of later generations came out in the 80s, weren't the first ten years of fixed-focus cameras? The fixed-focus camera was almost sold out before the zoom camera was released. It's the same when it comes to digital cameras, first the fixed-focus digital camera was on the zoom camera after many years, the fixed-focus camera at that time was not produced at all, they were all replaced by the camera function of the smartphone, and the market was full of zoom lens cameras, and now the company has lost much future revenue, and those revenues have disappeared inexplicably before they are in their pockets.
Ling Shizhe's intestines were repentant, and he decided that before the company's new products were launched in the future, he would have to find O'Nilson's economic research department to study it carefully, so as not to release such a thing again.
