Chapter 170, Far-Reaching Agriculture
"What? Is this just very ordinary rice? ”
When the farmer Mo heard this, the whole person was even more surprised, and hurriedly pulled out a rice ear, carefully observed, counted the number of rice ears, carefully observed the shape of the rice plant, and even rubbed the husk of the rice, and tasted the taste of the rice and so on.
As the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, he has a clear understanding of the main food crops such as rice and wheat, and knows the varieties, appearances, yields, and tastes of rice in various regions.
He carefully observed and found that although the rice here bears several ears of rice, the rice plants are not tall, and they are not hybrid rice plants at first glance, and the rice plants of hybrid rice are generally tall and stout, which is conducive to water damage and disease resistance.
If this traditional rice is planted on the ground, it will be difficult for this rice to stand upright once there is a flood, especially when the rice is about to mature and the weight of the rice ears is getting heavier and heavier, this traditional rice is very afraid of floods and strong winds, and once it is pressed down, the whole rice will be wasted.
This is also one of the important reasons why traditional rice will be replaced by hybrid rice, the traditional rice plant is too short, and the ability to resist floods and strong winds is too weak.
However, there are no such problems in space, there is no effect of gravity, although these rice plants have produced several ears of rice, and the weight on them accounts for a very large proportion, but this has no effect, if it is put on the ground, these rice are definitely all spread in the rice field, which is very easy to rot and difficult to harvest.
"It's really a traditional rice variety, and the taste is definitely not the taste of hybrid rice."
Farmer Mo gently spit out the husks of the rice, he had just carefully examined the taste of the rice plants and fine varieties of rice, and he was now 100% sure that these rice varieties were indeed traditional rice.
Although traditional rice has many disadvantages, it is definitely good in terms of taste and nutrition, and he naturally tasted it at once.
The other people also scattered one by one, carefully observing the entire rice space field, at this time everyone seemed to be in the golden autumn and October, and the layers of golden rice made people full of the joy of harvest.
"Because our population in China is too large, the arable land is too small, and now with the development of the economy, the arable land is getting less and less, so we have to choose to plant hybrid rice, and the yield is constantly improving, but the taste and nutrition of hybrid rice are far inferior to traditional rice."
"Now we grow rice in space, because we don't have to worry about pests and diseases, let alone natural disasters, and because of the many favorable conditions in space, we can grow even the most common rice varieties, and our yield per plant can be more than twice that of the highest-yielding hybrid rice."
"If it is the use of space and layout, and then we can plant three crops a year, this yield will be dozens of times that of the ground, and we can let our Chinese people eat the high-quality rice passed down from our ancestors on the table in the future."
Li Fu also brought them here to visit for a purpose, in order to promote the traditional high-quality rice, hoping to vigorously promote it, so that more people can eat high-quality rice in the future and improve the physical fitness of the Chinese people.
"Xiao Li, you are in my heart, of course I know that there are many shortcomings of hybrid rice, but there is no way, our country is a country with a population of more than one billion, and eating is a major problem."
"I didn't know that hybrid rice was hard to eat and not good in terms of nutrition."
"Haha, but it won't be a problem in the future, as long as we vigorously develop space agriculture in space, the day when our people can eat high-quality rice again is not far off."
Nong Jiamo nodded from the bottom of his heart, and a feeling of worrying about the country and the people was revealed.
"It's really not a problem, according to the output of Xiao Li's space farmland, his 1 piece of 10,000 square meters of space farmland can be worth hundreds of thousands of square meters of farmland, 30 times to calculate, that is also 300,000 square meters of farmland, calculated down to nearly 500 acres, with China's 2 billion acres to calculate, only 4 million pieces of such space farmland are enough for our people to have no worries in terms of food, and all the arable land on the ground is enough to return farmland to forest."
Tang Yunshan on the side also nodded, manipulating the virtual machine to calculate in his mind, and came up with a surprising number.
"4 million pieces of such space fields can solve our food problem in China?"
In Nongjiamo's mind, he also let the virtual machine calculate quickly, and soon, the whole person couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, 4 million pieces of space farmland can solve the problem of eating, and in the future, we in Huaxia will no longer have to worry about eating, no longer have to worry about the huge population, and we can also take care of the ecological environment."
It is no wonder that Farmer Mo is so happy, China's population of more than one billion, eating is a big problem, but China's cultivated land area is very small, the total amount seems to be 2 billion mu, but the per capita arable land ranks more than 100 in the world.
How to use this arable land to feed such a huge population has always been a headache for China, so as long as it can increase grain production, any hybrid rice, genetically modified commodities, etc. can be released, not that the country's leaders are not clear about the impact of these crops, but there is no way to choose.
The same is true for the implementation of the family planning policy to limit the population, which is a very helpless choice, because the population is too large, the arable land is too small, and feeding such a large population is a big problem.
It has always been very helpless to return farmland to forests and grasslands, in fact, when it is implemented, because if the cultivated land is really returned on a large scale, then the grain output will be sharply reduced, and once there is a food problem, the impact will be too great, so even if the desertification is getting more and more serious and the haze is getting more and more serious, there is no way but to drag it first.
But now it's different, Nongjiamo sees hope for solving these problems from space agriculture, these problems are like tumors rooted in Huaxia's body, and he has always wanted to cut them off, but there is no way.
Now it is very hard to cut out these tumors with one stone, as long as space agriculture can produce enough food, the land of China can have unlimited potential.
Environmental protection can be strictly enforced, returning farmland to forests and grasslands is not simply a matter of paying lip service, the policy of population and fertility can also be opened up in an all-round way, and the land policy can also be loosened, so that housing prices can be lowered and the people's living standards and happiness can be raised.
Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and this is definitely not a joke, especially for Huaxia, because there are many, too many things, policies, and so on that revolve around agriculture.
Everyone present was so happy to see Nong Jiamo, and they all smiled, all of them were sons and daughters of China, descendants of Yan and Huang, who grew up in the land of China since childhood, and all deeply loved the country, and all hoped that Huaxia could get better and stronger.
From the dialogue just now, everyone has seen that China will be better in the future, the agricultural problem has been fundamentally solved, the ecological environment can be vigorously rectified, the population policy can also be fully liberalized, everyone can have as many children as they want, and social contradictions have been alleviated......
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces! This is really a wise saying! ”
As an important leader, Tang Yunshan is also very clear about these problems, at this time he can't help but think of a few years ago, look at the present, and think about the future, everything is led by the development of science and technology, and it is a great change in the development of space science and technology.
Compared with Tang Yunshan and Nongjiamo's worries about the country and the people, they think far away, and the other rich tycoons who followed are constantly calculating in their minds, and their eyes are shining, and the profits of space agriculture are beyond imagination.
Li Fu took everyone to visit the space farmland, and introduced all aspects of the space farmland to everyone in detail, the problems that may be encountered, etc., of course, more is to tell the great prospects of space agriculture, Li Fu has already seen it, these bigwigs present have been attracted by space agriculture, and they are all excited.
……
After Tang Yunshan and Nongjiamo visited the space farmland of Fuyun Group, they jointly submitted a report to the above, explaining in detail the advantages of space agriculture and the importance and strategic significance of the development of space agriculture to China.
Soon, the first document of the 2021 New Year came out, without any accidents, the first document of 2021 clearly pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously support and encourage the development of space agriculture, and put forward the great goal of replacing traditional agriculture with space agriculture, and all open space agriculture to private capital and forces.
In particular, in the northwest region, Inner Mongolia, and North China, the policy of returning farmland to forests and grasslands has become the top priority of the government's work.
At the same time, the population policy has also been fully relaxed, and there are no longer any restrictions, although more births are not encouraged, but they are no longer opposed or prohibited.
As soon as the new policy came out, the whole of China was encouraged and excited, for ordinary people, the environment is better, and it is naturally a good thing to have more children, and more importantly, everything is showing that their country is getting better and better.
For the capital and power of the Chinese people, it is worth cheering and celebrating, the country has opened up the field of space agriculture, which means that everyone can do it freely, after detailed reports and data, everyone knows that space agriculture is definitely profitable.
