Chapter 1560 Xinjing Political Affairs

Nanhua, Xinjing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The newly completed Xiaonanhai Garden on the south side of West Lake is the main office of the central government in South China. Xiaonanhai imitates the design and construction of Zhongnanhai in Beiping, covering an area of 3,000 acres, including 1,200 acres of water surface, with 81 buildings in Eastern and Western styles, 219 pavilions and pavilions.

The government hall is a combination of east and west garden buildings, composed of sixteen large and small buildings, the top of the heavy eaves palace, yellow cut edge green glazed tiles, the front six small buildings are the place where An Yi's guards, secretaries and military staff officers live and work, the middle four buildings are the Qinzheng building that deals with political affairs, the Xuanwu building that deals with military affairs, the Fuyuan building that deals with diplomacy and the Chongwen building where An Yi reads books and consults information, and the remaining six buildings are used as the data center of Nanhua, all the land, resources, population data and the latest science and technology, military and other information of An Yi Group, They all live here. In order to manage so much data, it is also specially equipped with a large-scale computer center, which can be said to be the nerve center of Nanhua.

The Qinzheng Building of the Zhizheng Hall is four floors high, of which the fourth floor is the meeting place, there is a small conference room and a large conference room, at this time An Yi is in the small conference room, and Xu Ziliang, Jiang Yunshan, Hu Xuelan, Zhou Chongan, Dong Zechuan, Li Guozhu, Zhang Peigong, Wu Hongqing, Yan Jigu, He Jing to discuss government affairs.

Relying on the rear industrial base of the southwest, the development of Nanhua is completely explosive, with the open supply of electricity, energy and steel, light and heavy industrial enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, although most of them have not yet been put into production, but the momentum is extremely gratifying. The goal of the Nanhua government is to completely replicate the factories and enterprises in southern Sichuan and Yunnan in Nanhua in the next two years, and comprehensively improve the industrial base of Nanhua, so that even if there are problems in the country in the future, it will not hinder the rapid development of Nanhua.

"According to our effective integration of resources, now our Lanjiang, Xiyuan, Caiyun provinces produce up to 84,000 tons of natural rubber, plus foreign trade purchases, basically can meet our current development needs. The question now is whether it is necessary for us to expand the cultivation of natural rubber trees? It is important to know that the plains of Tiannan and Wujiang provinces have a suitable climate, and if we vigorously develop natural rubber, our natural rubber can quadruple to triple in five years. But the cultivation of rubber trees takes a long cycle, and our business does not allow us to wait four to five years, so we in the agricultural sector are in a difficult position on this issue! ”

Minister of Agriculture Li Guozhu said with some confusion.

Minister of Industry Dong Zechuan nodded: "Rubber is widely used in industry, commerce, military and other fields, because of its unique physical and chemical composition characteristics and become an irreplaceable strategic material, British Malaya and the Japanese-controlled Lanyin Islands, provide 95% of the world's rubber, at present, our rubber production in South China accounts for only three percent of the world's rubber production. We all know that now we need about 20 tons of steel and half a ton of natural rubber for a light tank, 20,000 rubber parts for each warship, rubber wrapping for every inch of cable, and a large number of 90 percent of the rubber used in industrial machines need natural rubber, 50 percent of the rubber used in truck tires needs natural rubber, and more than half of the rubber used in the transportation industry is natural rubber. Although our research department has developed synthetic rubber, and our industrially produced synthetic rubber has the advantages of high elasticity, insulation, air tightness, oil resistance, high temperature or low temperature resistance, etc., it is still difficult to compete with natural rubber in terms of ductility, compressive strength, wear resistance and other characteristics, only natural rubber can withstand the instantaneous temperature change from the cold at high altitude to the high temperature on the ground, and meet the requirements of aviation, military and other departments. Now that our natural rubber production is heavily dependent on imports from British Malaya, and given that Japan has banned the export of rubber from the Lanyin Islands for Japan's domestic use, it is conceivable that once Japan occupies Malaya, our rubber demand will be unsustainable, and this problem will have to be raised to an unprecedented strategic level. ”

An Yi thought for a while and said: "Most of the rubber forests in Lanjiang, Xiyuan, and Caiyun provinces are located on plateaus and mountains, and do not occupy fertile land, which is quite a clever development strategy in my opinion. The main problem we are facing today is to produce food to fill our stomachs before we can talk about anything else. If we take advantage of the fertile land in the Mekong Plain to develop rubber cultivation, I think the gains outweigh the losses. As for the rubber gap needed by our industry, our agricultural research department already has a good solution. ”

Speaking of this, An Yi instructed the secretary to send a copy of the information on rubber plants to the government officials at the conference table, and then said:

"As you know, we have been fighting in Central Asia, and now we have the flames of war in the south of Central Asia, and if everything goes well, in the next three to four months, Central Asia can be under the control of our South China government. Central Asia covers an area of nearly 4 million square kilometers, and many places are alkalized tidal flats, swamps, Gobi and deserts, and in addition to the harsh environment and climate, it is extremely difficult to develop food agriculture, so we can only develop agriculture according to the actual local conditions.

"There is a plant called rubber grass, a perennial herbaceous plant, no obvious demand for soil quality, drought and waterlogging resistance, like cold and cool climate, the gum contained in the root can make rubber, Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi and Northeast, North China, Northwest and other places and Central Asia are distributed. Rubber grass is extremely cold-resistant, and raw rubber is mainly concentrated in the milk in the root skin, containing 6-28% of natural rubber, which can effectively solve the problem of insufficient natural rubber. According to the Agricultural Research Institute, planting 10,000 acres of rubber grass can be harvested once a year, and 10 million pounds of natural rubber and 2.3 million gallons of ethanol can be obtained after extraction. The value of the by-product ethanol is likely to offset the processing costs of the herbal natural gum, thus driving down the price of the herbal natural gum and allowing it to compete with the rubber trees that are commonly found today.

"At present, we have carried out large-scale promotion and planting in Mongolia, and the first season can be harvested at the end of the year, and it is conservatively estimated that 100,000 tons of natural rubber can be obtained, which can effectively solve the problem of natural rubber shortage we are facing. When the war in Central Asia subsides, large-scale planting, 200,000 tons, 300,000 tons, or even 500,000 tons of natural rubber can be expected. ”

After reading the information, everyone was amazed, An Yi saw this, struck while the iron was hot, and asked the secretary to hand everyone a piece of information: "In addition to studying rubber grass, we have also studied many plants that can provide oil...... Let's look at the first page, the photo shows a plant called squirrel grass, it is native to California, USA, because the squirrel is afraid of its smell to get its name, originally planted on an area of one hectare of squirrel grass can refine a ton of oil, but after my agricultural experts use artificial hybrid technology to cultivate, the current yield per hectare has been as high as eight tons. This plant can grow in desert and semi-desert areas, does not compete with other plants for land, and can greatly improve the ecological environment. Once the war in Central Asia has subsided, we will plant this oil plant on a large scale in the desert areas of Central Asia to improve the environment and increase oil production on the other. ”

Xu Ziliang was very surprised: "It is understandable that grass plants produce rubber, how can it be possible to produce oil?" Sounds too ethereal. ”

An Yi smiled and said: "Oil is originally a mixture formed by the organisms in ancient oceans or lakes after a long evolution, and it is a form of life evolution, so there is nothing strange about it. In fact, there are not only weasel grass, but also several plants that can provide us with oil. If you look at the fourth page of the information, the plant in that photo is called elephant grass. Why is it such a name? Because it grows very fast, it can grow more than three meters tall in one season, and it is considered a behemoth among grasses. Elephant grass is not very demanding to grow in a wide area from the subtropics to the temperate zone, in terms of yield, an average of 12 tons of bio-oil can be harvested per hectare, which is more productive than any other existing energy plant, and the planting cost is very low, less than one-third of the cost of growing rapeseed, but the energy produced into oil is equivalent to twice the biodiesel refined from rapeseed oil.

"The two plants on pages 8 and 12 of the material, eucalyptus vine and horn gourd, are native to northern Australia, and they grow very fast, reaching up to 30 centimetres a week, and can be harvested three or four times a year if cultivated artificially. In the plantation, our experts extract a white sap from the stems and leaves of these two weeds, and then extract oil from them, and the yield is quite good. Let's look at the sixteenth and twenty-second pages of the information, the two plants in the photo are the oil tree and the clover tree, a oil tree can produce ten kilograms to fifteen kilograms of oil a day, and the yield of the clover tree can also reach the same yield, among which the glue juice produced by the clover tree is very similar to diesel, it can be used as diesel without processing and refining, and it can be added to the fuel tank installed with a diesel engine, and it can be ignited and started immediately and driven on the road.

"Well, sounds amazing, right? Our plan is to release all oil plants suitable for temperate regions to Mongolia and Central Asia, where they will become our endless bio-oil production hubs, gradually removing the desert from the threat to humanity, improving the environment and bringing huge economic benefits. Oil plants, which are suitable for subtropical and tropical regions, are grown in the mountains and forests of South China, and I think that with this multi-pronged approach, we can achieve self-sufficiency in both oil and rubber. ”

Seeing that An Yi already had a perfect countermeasure, the participants were relieved.

An Yi waited for everyone to digest the news they provided, and was about to move on to the next topic, An Yi's confidential secretary Liang Zihua walked into the conference room, everyone turned their heads to look at it together, Liang Zihua smiled apologetically, walked to An Yi's side, and whispered in his ear.

An Yi looked at his watch, shook his head, waved his hand to signal Liang Zihua to step back, and then said to everyone: "Today's time is almost up, let's start the meeting here!" If you have any questions, you can call me at any time to communicate, or you can find Secretary-General Jiang to deal with it on your behalf. In fact, the specific government affairs still depend on you, I only provide the general policy and direction, and the details have to be grasped by the prime minister and the ministers! ”

Everyone responded in unison, and then sorted out the documents one after another, got up and left. Jiang Yunshan originally wanted to discuss with An Yi after the meeting about some bad signs among the current government civil servants, but when he saw that An Yi had something, he had to give up.

An Yi stopped Zhou Chong'an: "Brother-in-law, Sister Qing called, blame me for forgetting her birthday, I will go to the Baiweiju Restaurant by Huanjian Lake to congratulate her on her birthday later." Jieyun went to Saigon to establish a sales channel for a publishing and distribution group, and brought the pregnant Sister Jieqiong with her. ”

Zhou Chongan shook his head: "I won't join in the fun." Now the two children have entered the Xufu Boy Scout Academy, Jieqiong is not there, and the home is quiet, which is just convenient for me to deal with government affairs. Now that the financial system of Nanhua has just been established, there are a lot of things to do, and I can't do it if I don't take care of it. Congratulations to Ye Qing on my behalf! ”

"Okay!"

An Yi saw that Zhou Chong'an's attitude was very resolute, and he was not reluctant, so he went downstairs with him with a smile and left Xiaonanhai by car.
