Empire, native northwest.

More than a decade ago, it was a desert in the depths of the great northwest, but today, it is covered with forests, rivers and trees.

Over the years, the empire has invested a lot of effort in transforming deserts and wastelands, gradually transforming millions of square kilometers of barren sandy land in the northwest into woodland.

Located in the depths of the jungle, the vegetation is very dense, as far as the eye can see, as if you have strayed into the primeval jungle, an open area has actually built a huge air port, although the facilities are a little rudimentary, but it can indeed meet the take-off and landing and docking of spaceships.

The road hidden in the jungle leads to a large complex of buildings, the Imperial Department of Flora and Fauna.

The Imperial Department of Flora and Plant Research, which is the majority of the Department of Science and Technology, is responsible for the overall work of the Empire's animal and plant research.

This area of 28 square kilometers is divided into two major research centers for animals and plants, and the plant research center is in charge of Liang Huaran, a famous plant research expert in the empire and director of the imperial animal and plant research department.

The Animal Research Center is headed by Tong Dizhou, a well-known animal research expert in the empire and deputy director of the Imperial Animal and Plant Research Department.

"It's beautiful."

Standing on the 15th floor of the research department building, Tong Dizhou looked down, there was an endless jungle, and in the depths of the jungle you could see a very wide lake, in which there were all kinds of strange animals, and even flying fish, jumping high out of the lake, their scales reflective, scorching in the sun.

According to the order of the Scientific and Technical Committee, the Imperial Department of Animal and Plant Research is about to be split into two first-level departments, the Imperial Department of Animal Research and the Department of Plant Research.

He will be in charge of the work of the Imperial Animal Research Department, and the headquarters will be moved to Changqing Star to carry out scientific research with the help of the superior animal resources of Changqing Star and Avatar Star.

"Brother Zhou, I'm very reluctant to be here, and so am I. If you go first, then our branch of the Plant Research Department will also pass.

Changqing Star and Avatar Star are our opportunities. ”

Liang Huaran stood side by side with him, also looking into the distance.

In the field of vision of the two of them, several small spaceships were flying up and falling in the depths of the jungle, busy and busy.

"Let's go, Brother Zhou, accompany me to see our bumper harvest."

Liang Huaran invited with a smile, and Brother Zhou happily agreed, and the two went directly to the roof of the building, where a flying car was parked. The two of them don't need a driver, this kind of simple flying car is very simple and smooth to drive, and Liang Huaran often drives it himself.

The car made a long trajectory and flew into the depths of the jungle.

This 10,000-square-kilometer jungle is almost entirely filled with sand dune fruit trees.

Dune fruit, a fruit that is generally grown by a first-level civilization and then sold to a second-level civilization as a raw material. The processed product, a kind of dune dew, is very popular in the second-level civilization and has a high nutritional value.

Many first-level civilizations do not process this dune fruit, have neither machinery and equipment, nor technology, and thus work for second-level civilizations in vain, and it is well known that the profit of raw materials is the lowest.

The sand dune fruit is the first cash crop planted in the empire, and under Zhang Shusheng's personal arrangement, this kind of fruit that is suitable for planting on the earth, grows faster, and can be processed and refined by itself with equipment, is worth planting in a large area.

Because in the convertible machinery of the dream system, there happens to be processing equipment and processing technology for this dune fruit.

In the past two years, the processing technology has long been mature, and a large number of stock dune fruits are only waiting to be refined and processed.

The harvesting machines transformed from those flying cars fly in the air, relying on countless small robotic arms on the flying cars to accurately grasp those small dune fruits.

Fortunately, thanks to these highly automated fruit harvesters, it would not be easy to climb the sand dune fruit trees that are more than 30 meters high if they were picked by hand.

The fruit is picked up by an automatic harvester, stored in the belly of the machine, and transported directly to the processing plant next to the airport.

"With these high-tech picking equipment, it seems that there are still two or three days to finish picking these dune fruits."

Brother Tong Zhou couldn't help but remember that when he first arrived here, Minister Liang Huaran had already built this place into a world beyond his imagination, at that time, the sand dune fruit trees were only seven or eight meters high, and now they are all about thirty meters high, and time flies too fast.

"The chairman said that this time all of our stock of dune fruits will be processed into dune fruit powder and found a buyer."

Liang Huaran has been in the desert for more than ten years, and he is also worried when he sees that there are more and more sand dune fruit stocks in the warehouse. Although he was very convinced of what the chairman said that these stocks would one day become real money as high as a mountain, he did not expect that on a sudden afternoon, he received a call from Zhang Shusheng, telling him that these dune fruits could be processed and ready to be loaded.

Nothing is more than the results of nearly two decades of work, and suddenly one day the economic value is proven.

"Although the dune fruit is our first large-scale growing fruit, it is very successful, and we have not yet established a major economic project in animal research, and to be honest, I am very envious of it."

Brother Tong Zhou said enviously that although animal research is more for the future empire to enter the universe, it is also a good thing that it can produce direct economic value.

"The nutritional value of dune fruit is very high, and the 200,000 tons of dune fruit set aside this time is to make nutritious meals for children.

Liang Huaran said expectantly, with the gradual enhancement of the national physique, the traditional milk and fruit drinks can no longer meet the nutritional needs of the younger generation, as a member of the Nutrition Society, after getting the approval of the chairman, he proposed to refine and process the dune fruit secretly planted by the empire and make nutritious meals for the children.

"The future is worth working on."

Brother Tong Zhou thought of the last time he returned to Hanjing to participate in the meeting of the Science and Technology Committee, and when he met the chairman, he was also moved when he said about the Changqing star breeding plan.

If Changqingxing's research and cultivation can be carried out smoothly, the children, and even all the compatriots of the empire, will be able to eat more new aquatic products in the future.

…… Empire, Hankyung Mountain.

"Chairman of the committee, there are still less than 10% of the dune fruits left to be picked, and it is expected that the picking will be completed in a few days."

A secretary is making a report to Zhang Shusheng, now that there are many affairs in the empire, the Central Secretariat has a large number of secretaries who are responsible for summarizing the situation in all walks of life, and then report to Zhang Shusheng.

"Let's keep the 10%, the sand dune sherbet drink delivered last time tastes very good, and the nutritional value is also very high, so the local school will send it in advance."

The rest is reserved for refining and processing at the back to expand the use. ”

Zhang Shu tasted the sand dune sherbet sent by Liang Huaran some time ago, and felt that the taste was very good, especially the nutritional value, which could become a nutritious drink for schools at all levels.

Unfortunately, the production of dune fruit is not high enough, including stocks, and it is not enough to be marketed on a large scale.

According to the plan, in addition to giving priority to all students, researchers, skilled workers, some officials, etc., Shusheng Company will produce a batch of listing.

The rest of the dune fruit will be processed into dune fruit powder and shipped to be sold.

"Yes, Chairman. In addition, the current processing progress is relatively smooth, since the machine failure was repaired last month, the processing plant has optimized and improved some processes, and now the total number of dune fruit powder has reached 900,000 tons. ”

The secretary continued, 900,000 tons of dune fruit powder, if processed into dune fruit sherup, would be a huge number. After refining and processing, the dune fruit powder is only one step away from the sand dune fruit sher, which is mixed with water.

"Well, more than 900,000 tons of dune fruit powder, barely enough to fit a ship."

The carrying capacity of the Xiao He-class transport ship is actually more than 900,000 tons, after all, a larger ocean-going ship can also carry hundreds of thousands of tons. It's just that this trip has to pass through the complex star field of the Lost Star Field, and in order to ensure speed and safety, the spacecraft must be reinforced and reduce the load, so it can barely carry 900,000 tons.

"How's the preparation of those ornamental plants?"

In addition to loading a boatload of dune fruit powder, Zhang Shusheng also loaded a boatload of ornamental flowers, mainly chrysanthemums, bonsai, orchids, etc.

These ornamental plants are all characteristic plants of the earth, and they do not seek to sell at a high price, but it is better than loading their own mineral resources on a ship and selling them.

What's more, Zhang Shusheng is ready to hype up these characteristic flowers and plants and strive to sell them at a high price.

Because the earth is in a lost star field that is almost completely isolated from the world, many animals and plants are endemic to it, and it is rare to see them outside, Zhang Shusheng doesn't know if there are similar plants in other parts of the universe, at least they are the only ones in the southwest star field of the Milky Way.

These plants and flowers were purchased by the Imperial State Trading Company, and almost all the flowers of the local flower companies were bought out, and the next list even ate a lot of Southeast Asia and other regions, which was considered to be a big profit from the plant and flower companies at the expense of the Empire.

This is also an alternative kind of industrial support, Zhang Shusheng also decided to use this kind of trade method more in the future, through the state or Shusheng company, using the imperial currency to purchase, and then shipping out for sale.

"Let's start loading!"

Calculating the time, it was not much, and Zhang Shusheng ordered the ship.

Returning home from the office center, several wives arrived home and had a sumptuous dinner, several of which were even from the distant Changqing Star and Avatar Star.

A cold fern root, which is a specialty of Avatar Star.

A kind of roasted whole fish, the fish is a kind of fish produced in the tree lake of the Avatar star, the meat is very good, the nutritional value is also very high, it is used for braised fish, and the taste is not said.

The dinner was very pleasant, and several wives, including the goddaughter Tangtai, knew that Zhang Shusheng was going to sail away, and they were doubly good to him.

Several people were envious of Fu Huiyu, because she was going to accompany Zhang Shusheng to the destination of this trip: the Noke Business Alliance.

After eating, Zhang Shusheng was not busy going to bed to do business, but came to the underground office center, and tonight he was going to start preparing for his business journey.

"Zhang Bing, connect to the virtual universe network."
