On December 15, 2020, at the Fuyun Group Space Center in Longling Town, Sanjiang District, Meijiang City, Tang Yunshan, the head of the Chinese space field, led a huge expedition team here.

Among them, there are Lao Wang, a real estate tycoon who was ambitious and always wanted to enter the space industry, Lao Ma Ge, a big man in the virtual world industry, Zhang Xianzu, a "future star" who now eats a lot of money on moon tourism, and Lei Dapeng, the head of Huaxia Food Group, and a huge team of more than 50 people.

With bursts of roar, the two huge "Hercules" aerospace planes dragged a long tail flame into space, this time the number of people is really a bit large, even the reception staff of the Fuyun Group, etc., are almost close to the team of more than 200 people, for the safety period, or divided into 2 aerospace planes.

When the time comes to visit space agriculture, it is also divided into several parts, which are received by Li Fu, Gu Feng, Luo Xiaoyao and others, and take them to visit the space farmland.

Taking an aerospace plane into space is not unfamiliar to these people at all, such as Tang Yunshan, the person in charge of the space field, has even been to the moon several times, except for a few who are a little nervous when they go to space for the first time, everyone else seems very relaxed.

As the aerospace plane slowly approached, it continued to enlarge in the field of vision, until the entire field of vision was occupied by the space farmland, and everywhere in the eyes was a green world.

"Xiao Li, how big is your space farmland now? And how much is the investment? ”

Nong Jiamo, the person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, looked at the farmland in space, and the whole person looked a little surprised, and said to Li Fu on the side.

"The current area is about 250,000 square meters, divided into 25 pieces of space farmland, planted with hundreds of crops, the initial investment is not too large, and the cost is about 5 billion Chinese dollars."

Li Fu replied with a smile.

"5 billion Chinese dollars? It's really not too big. ”

Lao Wang, Lao Ma, Zhang Xianzu and other rich people on the side also nodded, with such a huge space farmland in space, the investment is only 5 billion Chinese dollars, which is really not much, much lower than the original estimate in their hearts.

Soon, the space plane slowly docked to the port area of the space farmland, and the people in spacesuits slowly drifted under the leadership of Li Fu and began to enter the space farmland one by one to visit the space farmland.

"Look, this is one of the first space farmlands we built, and this space farmland is mainly planted with fruit watermelons."

A space capsule here, through the thick tempered glass, Li Fu pointed to the green and fruitful space farmland and began to introduce it to dozens of people behind him, such as Tang Yunshan, Nong Jiamo, Lao Wang, Lao Ma Ge, and Zhang Xianzu.

Everyone looked at the space farmland one by one, only to see that the entire space farmland was full of green watermelon vines, and the huge watermelons vaguely revealed their figures, even people who did not understand agriculture at all could see that the yield of watermelons in this space farmland was quite high.

"Can we go in and have a look?"

Nong Jiamo looked at the scene in the space farmland, and his eyes couldn't help but widen, and then asked Li Fu.

"Absolutely."

Li Fu nodded, and then entered the command on the control computer next to him, and soon the hatch was opened.

With the gentle push of Nong Jiamo's hand, the whole person slowly floated into the space farmland, and Tang Yunshan, Lao Wang and the others also drifted into the space farmland one by one.

Entering the space farmland, the whole person seems to be in a green ocean world, no matter from which direction, it is a green watermelon vine, and at the same time, because of being in it, you can more intuitively see the appearance of the entire space farmland.

The distance between the watermelon vines from the root is very regular, the vines do not have any guidance at all, they are only affected by microgravity in space, the watermelon vines spread everywhere, and the huge watermelons are quietly suspended in the void, and some are very naughty hiding under the leaves of the watermelon vines.

"Knock, knock!"

Farmer Mo kept knocking on the watermelons, obviously checking the ripeness of the watermelons, and at the same time silently counting the number of watermelons on the vines.

"A watermelon vine can produce 15-20 large watermelons, and these watermelons are very well-proportioned, and they generally seem to be more than 10 kilograms."

As the person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, Farmer Mo also knows a little about agricultural matters, generally a watermelon vine can produce 3-5 watermelons is relatively normal, 10 watermelons are already rare, but in the huge farmland in front of him, the number of watermelons in each watermelon vine is between 15-20, and these watermelons are still very symmetrical, and he can't help but exclaim.

"In space, because it is only affected by microgravity, coupled with the fact that the sun is very sufficient, and there is no impact of pests and diseases, combined with scientific planting and management methods, the yield of watermelons can generally reach ten times the yield of watermelons on the ground, and in space, it is not affected by the seasons, and agricultural production can be carried out all year round, so that if you calculate it, this output can actually be doubled."

"Not only is the yield much higher than that of the ground, but also the quality will be several grades, there is no impact of pests and diseases, so there is no need to use pesticides at all, reasonable adjustment of temperature and light, and the sweetness of watermelon is also quite high."

Li Fu smiled and introduced the advantages of developing agriculture in space.

"Dozens of times the yield, high-quality agricultural products."

Everyone's minds couldn't help but grasp the key words.

"If the output is dozens of times that of the ground, and can also produce high-quality agricultural products, there is a lot of profit margin, the area of this space field has tens of thousands of square meters, coupled with the three-dimensional layout, in fact, its area can be increased tenfold, so calculated, this output is really amazing!"

"The entire space farmland can be planted with almost 100,000 watermelon vines, each watermelon vine is counted as 15 watermelons, and each watermelon is counted as 10 kilograms, so it can be calculated as almost 15 million kilograms, and each kilogram is considered 1 yuan, which means that there can be an output value of almost 15 million at one time, and the first phase is calculated as 120 days, and three phases can be planted in a year, which means an output value of 45 million!"

"Li Fu said that his investment in the entire 250,000 square meters of space farmland is almost 5 billion Chinese dollars, which means that the investment in a piece of space farmland is about 200 million Chinese dollars."

Everyone present couldn't help but start calculating in their minds, looking at the layers of watermelon vines around them, just casually calculating, they couldn't help but widen their eyes one by one.

"Even with the lowest numbers, it's a lot to offer! In terms of the quality of this watermelon, it can definitely be sold as the top watermelon, and the profit here is really huge. ”

Old Brother Ma couldn't help but scream.

The other people present couldn't help but nod their heads, they all had virtual machines, and the calculator could easily calculate the yield of this space farmland, and then search for the market price of watermelons, and easily get the output value of this space farmland.

Combined with the investment that Li Fu said at the beginning, the output and investment ratio came out all of a sudden, and everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes and their hearts moved.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, space agriculture has such a big prospect, I used to just metaphysically think that any investment in space is a loss, but now it seems that everything still has to be based on data."

Nong Jiamo also nodded and let out a long sigh.

"In fact, as our technology in the field of space science and technology becomes more and more advanced, the cost of this space farmland can still be continuously reduced.

Tang Yunshan also nodded with satisfaction, he brought everyone over this time, the purpose is very clear, that is, to guide everyone to the side of space agriculture, now everyone has seen the broad prospects of space agriculture, Tang Yunshan can see that these people who followed over have already been moved.

After visiting the watermelon space farmland area, everyone soon came to the rice planting area again.

Entering the space farmland of rice, Farmer Mo was shocked again, because he saw that these rice ears actually produced several rice ears, each of which was full of golden and grainy rice, and the entire rice space farmland area was a golden harvest scene.

"Xiao Li, are these genetically modified rice? How can you produce several ears of rice? ”

Farmer Mo is very concerned about rice, because rice is the main food crop, related to the national economy and people's livelihood, I don't know how many times more important than watermelon, for a large country with a population of more than one billion, the most important thing for the people is to have enough to eat.

"It's not genetically modified rice, it's not even hybrid rice, it's just very ordinary rice, rice that has been passed down from our ancestors."

"In fact, not only rice, but also wheat, sorghum and other crops in space, because only the influence of microgravity, so they can produce multiple ears of fruit, in the case of rice, even the most common rice seeds, the yield per plant is more than twice that of the highest-yielding hybrid rice."
