Chapter Seventy-Three: Greenhouses
The convoy slowly entered Baotou, just over a month, the horizontal frame almost the whole of China, from Wuhan in the south, crossed the Yangtze River, and finally passed through Tianjin, Jingshi, all the way back to Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao's harvest is very large, but the most important thing in front of him is not to clean up his harvest, but to sow cotton.
21,000 acres of cotton, it can be said that he and Jin merchants more closely linked to a foundation, agriculture, the traditional primary industry, even in the 21st century in the later generations, the government can not be all liberalized, not to mention in this era, Baotou planting cotton, in the history of Baotou, is still rare, such a large range, is the first time.
At the station of the Baoken Company, Yang Yuanzhao met Wei Ming and the two landlords who greeted him, and they had almost prepared the work for more than a month, waiting for Yang Yuanzhao and Yang Yue to come back and carry out the next step.
"Yuan Zhao, what are you going to do in the greenhouse!" This is already a question that Yang Yue has asked countless times, all the time, Yang Yuanzhao has been smiling, and now that he has arrived in Baotou, he can't help it anymore.
"The stuff has returned!" Yang Yuanzhao looked at Liu Shu and asked, "Brother Zelin, have the goods arrived from Demei Foreign Company?" ”
"It's arrived, the delivery man said, don't unpack it lightly, I didn't open it, it's all piled up in the warehouse!"
"Let's go, let's go see our stuff!" Yang Yuanzhao said with a wave of his hand.
When he was in Shanghai, Yang Yuanzhao prepared, including 60 tons of urea, about 30 tons of other fertilizers, and some agricultural machinery, among which urea was the focus.
Urea, a beginner organic matter, Yang Yuanzhao can synthesize, the number of 60 tons, it really took him a lot of days, and even for some trace elements, he specially went to get a lot of sludge, which was finally configured, as for the material of the greenhouse, it is even simpler, because its specific gravity is very light, it is the basis of the supermarket plastic bag in the future, copied out, are rolled into rolls, 3 meters wide, 50 meters long.
Dozens of tons of goods, piled up in the warehouse, seem slightly crowded, but they are initially classified.
You don't have to look at it, it is located in the center of the warehouse, and the largest pile is chemical fertilizer, the pungent smell of urea, so that everyone who came with it frowned slightly, Yang Yuanzhao is the most bland among several people, although urea has not been used in the farmland, but in the situation of the real room, he has understood his performance and knows that it has a pungent taste.
Yang Yuanzhao's eyes fell to the other end of the entire warehouse, where the plastic film was wrapped in canvas, Yang Yuanzhao pointed to the pile and said, "Let them move things out!" ”
Several high-level contractors of the reclamation company, which one is not hundreds of slaves, especially responsible for recruiting two landlords, they waved their hands, more than a dozen strong men stepped forward and hugged the film, 600 acres of film, say no more, say less and no less, really stacked up like a hill.
Yang Yuanzhao stepped forward, found a roll out, opened the canvas, revealing the translucent plastic inside, the greenhouse can not be fully transparent, which is not conducive to the layout of the greenhouse, for this reason, Yang Yuanzhao increased the thickness, this film, compared with the agricultural film in later generations, is a little thick, what is the effect, Yang Yuanzhao is not known, can be used in ordinary greenhouses, planting some cotton seeds, is enough.
"Is this cellophane?" Yang Yue stepped forward with some surprise, transparent, as thin as cicada wings, this is the first feeling that this film gave him, the moment he tentacled, he already knew that this is completely different from glass, although the baldness is very good, but it is different from glass, soft, and most importantly, it gives him the feeling that this thing is still insulated.
Greenhouse, the most important thing is this, the greenhouse built with glass, if not sealed, the effect is not great, but this kind of soft material, if the whole piece is used, there is almost no need to consider the problem of sealing, the glass is different, it needs to be connected, it needs to be glued, so the sealing problem is very big.
Yang Yue was very keen to grasp the benefits of this material, and even the vision of studying in the United States made him see many epitaxial functions of this plastic, which is an extraordinary material, and hurriedly asked what the material was and how it came about.
For Yang Yue's sudden germination of scientific pursuit, Yang Yuanzhao is very helpless, plastic polymer materials, until the Second World War period, will sprout, after the war to vigorously develop, if not to have the resources brought from the future, I am afraid that this plastic, even if he knows the direction, it will take a long time to realize, it is possible to make it, for the crossing, only a little more than a month for the time to achieve, almost impossible to achieve.
Yang Yuanzhao made a delay in one of the greenhouse areas, during this time, Wu Guangren and Zhao Shuming they, in addition to recruiting people, put more thought on this side, all of them were blue bricks to build a row of one-person-high walls, and then used bamboo poles and wood or something, built a shed, just came back, Yang Yuanzhao had checked, each one was very solid, so that there was no need to make temporary adjustments, he had the kung fu to do more things.
Signaling Yang Yue to help, the two of them jointly opened a roll of plastic, directly on the top of the greenhouse shed, set up, semi-enclosed form, just to cover the greenhouse, plastic good ductility, only a little fixation, to form a complete greenhouse.
"Okay, it's really convenient!"
Yang Yuanzhao nodded, pointed to the greenhouse that had been arranged, and said: "Just follow this, arrange all the greenhouses of 600 acres!" ”
Soon, a group of people were busy on the 600 acres of land, because it was the relationship of planting cotton, the reclamation company hired a lot of people, the number exceeded 1000, the task of arranging the greenhouse was not very difficult, Yang Yuanzhao basically demonstrated the key points, more than 1000 people, just took 3 days, and all the greenhouses were arranged.
After the completion of the greenhouse system, Yang Yue has been in the first greenhouse, he has a comprehensive understanding of the greenhouse, and tested some things, and found that this greenhouse is not as good as the special greenhouse of the former agricultural college, but it is stronger than the ordinary glass house, I don't know how much, not to mention coping with a small cotton seed cultivation, even if it is a larger scale of agricultural research.
Agronomy has always been Yang Yue's interest, cotton planting is just a scientific research and practical application, in the past, it was inconvenient to arrange a greenhouse in Baotou, now, ready-made greenhouse, Yang Yue came to the interest, the greenhouse is constantly arranged, so that it is no longer like an ordinary cotton cultivation room, but like a scientific research center.
For Yang Yue's approach, Yang Yuanzhao did not advise, Yang Yue is a rare agronomist in China, agricultural things, he knows some, but not comprehensively, planting cotton, or some other greenhouse vegetables, this is a small problem, the real big killer lies in high-quality, excellent performance of good seeds, such as high-yield wheat, such as hybrid rice.
China's vast land and abundant resources, since the end of the Qing Dynasty has appeared, when the great powers are still in the tens of millions of population, China has exceeded 450 million, the huge population, the heavy pressure brought to China, food has never been enough, if the food problem is not solved, even if Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest development is good, Baotou's industrial output value surpasses Germany's Ruhr to become the world's first, it will also be a castle on the beach, for no other reason, look at the collapse of the Soviet Union in later generations, Blindly developing wildly in one aspect while ignoring the other, it eventually collapsed.
Yang Yue's research is still very rudimentary, even the agricultural room is in the stage of construction, Yang Yuanzhao did not bother him, the entire reclamation company, in accordance with the established plan, began the construction of greenhouses, especially the interior, from Taiyuan, Tianjin, and even Wuhan purchased a large number of small bowls of one inch square, neatly placed in the greenhouse, after Yang Yuanzhao and Yang Yue jointly adjusted the formula, added the base fertilizer and a part of the fertilizer of the petri dish, It began to be neatly placed in 600 acres of greenhouses, and 21,000 acres of cotton planting finally entered the substantive stage.
