Chapter 409 - Greening Development of the Loess Plateau

Chongyang, grandmother's birthday, Ye Quan and his mother prepared a special birthday gift.

Ye Quan came up with the technology, Cao Shuyun took out 6 million, and Ye Quan's uncle and brother-in-law pooled 3 million to jointly establish a microbial fluorescent lamp company.

The tube of the microbial fluorescent lamp is composed of a miraculous fungus and biological culture solution, which emits light when energized, and the light is microstriped blue-green, which is a revolutionary product in the lighting industry and has seven advantages.

First, the service life of the lamp is more than 30,000 hours, which is 200 times that of the existing heat source lamps.

Second, the temperature is low, which belongs to biofluorescence, and there is almost no temperature on the surface of the lamp, so that the irradiated object has no temperature rise, and can be used in many special places.

Third, it has a wide range of environmental adaptation, and can be used for a long time in closed, humid or high temperature places.

Fourth, the light is soft, uniform and comfortable, with no radiant heat and no strong dazzling phenomenon, so that the person who is illuminated feels more comfortable and relaxed.

Fifth, it is highly safe, there is almost no danger, there will be no explosion, and there is no pollution, and the fungus and biological solution inside the scrapped lamp can even be directly used for watering flowers and fertilizing.

Sixth, the cost is low, there is no auxiliary device, no filament, after the biological solution is energized, the fungus will continue to glow, and the key to technology lies in the cultivation of microorganisms.

The seventh is low power, which is also the biggest advantage, microbial fluorescent lamps only need 1-8 watts of electricity, which is more than 80% less electric energy than today's mainstream energy-saving lamps.

Someone once calculated that all homes in the world could be replaced with energy-efficient lights. The world can save hundreds of billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity every year, and can reduce the burning of coal by hundreds of millions of tons. Hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions will be reduced. It can reduce sulphur dioxide emissions by millions of tons. Hundreds of coal-fired power stations can be built less.

From this, we can see how much energy a small lamp will save and how much benefit it will implied.

Therefore, countries around the world are vigorously promoting energy-saving electric lights. Many countries have long banned the use of incandescent lamps in order to save electricity.

Microbial fluorescent lamps have a greater advantage in saving electricity.

Of course, microbial fluorescent lamps are not without disadvantages, one is because of the special properties of microorganisms, fluorescent lamps have a shelf life. If it expires and is unused, it can only be scrapped.

Second, the lamp can only be switched on and off about 2200 times, which is not suitable for places that need to be switched on and off frequently, but it is especially suitable for tunnels, mines, cabins and underground shopping malls, etc., which are dark and need long-term light, which is most suitable for fluorescent lights.

Moreover, after 1500 times of switching, the brightness of the lamp will slowly weaken, and it is generally necessary to replace it when it is switched on and off 2000 times.

The third disadvantage is that it does not emit more than 60 watts of light equivalent to an incandescent lamp, but this is not important in the civilian market. After all, few people need a strong light above 60 watts.

In any case, the market for microbial fluorescent lamps is incalculable. Ye Quan's cousin Cao Weikai resigned from his position as the director of the textile factory of the Oriental Security and Protection Products Company and returned to serve as the general manager of the company.

In terms of shares, my grandmother accounted for 30%, Cao Shuyun's three siblings each accounted for 20%, Cao Weikai accounted for 7%, and my cousin Cao Weiqin, who is still in his second year of high school, also accounted for 3%.

After the Double Ninth Festival, the Taoyuan Regenerative Rice No. 19 planted by Yequan matured again.

Usually, the grains of regenerated rice in the second season are smaller than those in the first season, but the number of rice ears is more than that in the first season, because the original rice ear is cut in the place, generally more than 2 rice ears will grow, so the yield is also large.

This time, the yield of one mu and seven points of field reached 850 kilograms, with an average yield of about 500 kilograms per mu, and the average yield per mu exceeded 700 kilograms after two seasons.

However, the yield of ordinary regenerative rice in the regeneration season is only about 300 kg, which is very different.

For growers, Taoyuan Regenerative Rice No. 19 saves the time of breeding seedlings in the second season, saves time and effort, depends on the time and climate, planting here in Taoyuan Village, and it is possible to harvest the third rice.

There is no need to transplant rice in the second season of regenerated rice, and the yield is still very high, this peculiar "lazy rice" has attracted the attention of the villagers near Taoyuan Village.

After obtaining Ye Quan's consent, Ye Mingsheng simply set up the Taoyuan Village Agricultural Cooperative to promote all kinds of new seeds taken out by Ye Quan to the villagers and nearby villagers, and prepare to plant regenerative rice and upland rice on a large scale in the village next year.

In just over four months, Taoyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.'s Loess Plateau greening project has also come with good news.

The first phase of the project has successfully greened 20,000 acres of land, and the original desert has been turned into pasture, and now more than 200 horses, 400 beef cattle and more than 2,000 dairy cows have been raised.

The ranch originally wanted to focus on beef cattle, but considering that Xinhuaguo's milk powder market was deteriorating, Ye Quan changed his mind and planned to breed a new breed of dairy cows, so that Xinhuaguo's children could drink a mouthful of milk with confidence, instead of trying to get a few more cans of milk powder from abroad.

In addition to irrigation projects, land leveling costs a lot of money, and because of the poor fertility of the land, it has to be watered with bioactive liquid, but fortunately, the investment is large in the past few years, and after the formation of pastures, there is no need for too much management.

The management of Taoyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. once wanted to contract more than 200 square kilometers of land to build a large ranch after understanding the power of the evergreen forage series.

But this mention was vetoed by Ye Quan, in his opinion, 70,000 acres of pasture can play an exemplary role, there is no need to occupy too much land, after seeing the power of pasture, there will naturally be a lot of people to develop other areas of the Loess Plateau.

In addition, Ye Quan wants to build this place into a breeding base for new breeds of livestock, and breed a new generation of excellent horse breeds and cattle breeds.

In the future, the pasture will mainly sell grass seeds and new livestock breeds, and master the upstream resources of animal husbandry, rather than blindly occupying land and exploiting it.

The loess slopes, which used to be thousands of ravines and fragments, have become green grasslands! It was restored to its original true nature.

This huge and positive change has not only aroused the keen attention of the people of the whole country, but also many countries, especially those with large amounts of barren land and pastures.

Many discerning individuals and groups have set their sights on the vast Loess Plateau.

Judging from the development progress of Taoyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., if you can obtain that kind of special forage seeds, although the initial investment is not small, the recovery of costs is also fast, and running a ranch is definitely a profitable business.

The state attaches more importance to it, and invests a lot of manpower and material resources in order to control the Loess Plateau and the Yellow River every year, but the results have not been great.

Some areas have improved, but the entire Loess Plateau is still barren with vegetation and soil erosion.

For a time, the large-scale development of greening on the Loess Plateau has become the focus of the work of relevant state departments and local governments on the Loess Plateau.

Taoyuan Environmental Protection Technology Company, which holds the source of evergreen forage grass, has become a sweet spot chased by all forces. (To be continued......)
