Chapter 54: When the Wheat Is Ripe
I used to think that the wheat in the field grew from grass, but later I realized that it was because a seed was buried in the soil.
Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this is true. In winter, the wheat is still just a wheat seedling, and it is very tender, and the insects in the soil like this tender and juicy wheat seedling the most. Before winter, the wheat is watered for the last time, and then the snow survives all winter. In terms of frost resistance, wheat seedlings are more cold-tolerant than insects. After all, insects are flesh and blood, and they do not have thick fat to keep warm, and in the face of low temperatures, they either stay in the soil and do not come out, or hide in the wheat seedlings and shiver. After the heavy snowfall, the fields were covered in snow and silver, shining in the sun. Beneath the thick layer of snow are quietly growing wheat seedlings and hungry bugs. The kid is most afraid of snow, and some inexperienced insects are frozen to death. The thick layer of snow covers the wheat seedlings like a quilt, so that the cold wind outside cannot blow in, and they naturally grow quickly.
After a long winter, spring is coming. After the spring snow melts, the wheat seedlings grow very tall. People began to come to the fields one after another to visit the wheat seedlings, weeding and sprinkling water by the way. In the warm sunshine, the wheat seedlings swayed in the wind, sucking the water and nutrients in the soil, scrambling to pull up, the color also changed from the previous tender green to turquoise, and the body pole became harder and straighter.
In the summer, the wheat has begun to bear fruit, and under the abundant rain irrigation, every day is full of food and drink, and the heavy ears of wheat are shaken by the head. All the nutrients in the body are delivered to the upper ears of wheat, and some of the lower leaves are starting to turn yellow.
On a midsummer night, taking advantage of the sunny weather, people harvest wheat overnight, and it may rain in two days, so these two days will not be delayed, and the early harvest will benefit early. Wheat harvesters drive on country roads, hot roads, and wide wheat fields. Tractors travel back and forth between the wheat fields and the countryside, carrying half a year's harvest and hope for the future. With happy smiles on their faces and comfortable sweat, they returned home full of moonlight and starlight.
For wheat seeds, different places have different treatments. Some people will sell it directly to the flour mill in the village, the grain processing factory and the like. Some people will take it home to dry, save it, and use it for themselves. Wheat seeds contain about 60% starch, which can be ground into flour to make other delicious foods. Wheat husk can also be ground into wheat bran, which is used as coarse grain, with high nutritional value, and can be described as one of the crops with a utilization rate of nearly 100%.
After the wheat is harvested, it will not be long before other crops are planted.
And so on and so forth, year after year, and never tired of it.
The vast land, from a distance, the color of the earth is different in different seasons, sometimes green, sometimes yellow, sometimes white, sometimes black.
Now harvesting wheat is different from before, now robots are directly used to replace people's labor, and people can control the overall situation as long as they sit at home and watch the surveillance screen, and strategize thousands of miles away.
An agricultural machinery manufacturing group has developed a new agricultural robot, powered by environmentally friendly and silent batteries, which can last up to three hours, which is much cheaper and easier to repair than the previous generation of gasoline engines.
Lao Li's family bought a robot of this kind, and his family called it Agricultural Machinery No. 3, which was the third agricultural machinery bought by the family.
Lao Li's son is a cripple, and it is inconvenient to go to the field to work every day, so it is much easier to do with this robot. The old Li family, whose family is not wealthy, suddenly became the object of admiration in the village because they bought an agricultural machine. Xiao Li's vanity has never been so satisfied as it is today, and at first he felt that his father spent money indiscriminately, but now it seems that this money is not unjustly spent. Other people's agricultural machinery is still the old generation, and the old Li family uses the latest generation. Xiao Li followed behind No. 3 Agricultural Machinery Walking on the village road, and that sense of pride arose.
The weather forecast said that there would be rain tonight, so we had to take advantage of these few hours to harvest the wheat quickly. Xiao Li, who didn't have to go out, wanted to go out on a whim, after all, he hadn't been to his own land for several years, and if he didn't go to see it, maybe he might forget about his two own lands there. Of course, that's what he said to the people in the village, as for what he really thought in his heart. Only he knows.
The afternoon sun has been filtered by thick clouds, and when the breeze blows, Xiao Li stands in the car and looks into the distance, the wheat in the wheat field is already golden as gold, and the thick smell in the air makes Xiao Li mistakenly think that he has come to the wheat pile.
Lao Li sat on the sofa and looked at the big screen on the wall in front of him, and the realistic data panel on it was the data sent back by Agricultural Machinery No. 3 in real time. Based on this, Lao Li can know the operation status of Agricultural Machinery No. 3 and respond in time.
Xiao Li came to the edge of the field and asked Agricultural Machinery No. 3 to start harvesting wheat by himself, and he stood aside and watched. The movements of Agricultural Machinery No. 3 are very smooth, and the body movements are very similar to a person, without frustration, and very smooth. Today's harvesters are not as wide and fat as before, but mainly small, in addition to low efficiency, only convenient maintenance and easy transportation. After all, it is for personal use, and there is no need for the kind of expensive high-power harvester.
Lao Li's wheat field has more than 100 acres, and it can't be harvested in two or three hours with a small harvester, so Lao Li also sent out the other two agricultural machinery in the family. When three agricultural machines work at the same time, the efficiency is very high. Xiao Li found a cool place to cool off, looked at the three agricultural machines that were busy in the distance, and enjoyed this peaceful moment.
After two hours, dark clouds had begun to gather in the sky, the sky was getting dark, and the sun was already setting in the west, and it was about to fall below the horizon.
Xiao Li stood up and looked at it. Visually, it feels like only about sixty or seventy acres of ten acres of land have been harvested, and it may take another hour to harvest. Looking up at the sky, it feels like it's going to rain.
After half an hour, it was dark, and lightning appeared in the sky in the distance. A cool breeze was already blowing in the air, and I could occasionally feel droplets of water hitting my face.
At this time, the three agricultural machines also finished harvesting the wheat and were ready to return. Xiao Li jumped up and sat on the warm wheat pile, cheering ahhhhh
The rain is starting to fall. Fortunately, Lao Li asked Xiao Li to prepare a rain cloth, so that the wheat that had just been harvested was not damp.
Lightning likes to bombard bulges the most, and now in the flat and vast fields, only Xiao Li sitting in the car is a moving bulge. Xiao Li, who has never believed that lightning can split people, closed his eyes and enjoyed the blow of the rain falling on his face, as if he was doing a facial massage.
Click!
Xiao Li is unlucky. Lightning searched for a long time and finally found an obvious target, and the fledgling Agricultural Machinery No. 3 was unfortunately chosen. After the tractor driven by Agricultural Machinery No. 3 was struck by lightning, it stalled. There were no insulation measures between the No. 3 agricultural machinery and the tractor, and the huge current was electrified, and the whole body trembled, and small electric sparks jumped everywhere.
The obvious current also reached Xiao Li's body. He tumbled and fell off the tractor and fell to the ground, screaming.
After the current disappeared, Agricultural Machinery No. 3 regained its calm. The picture displayed by Lao Li is also full of snowflakes, and the signal connecting to Agricultural Machinery No. 3 has also been interrupted, and Xiao Li cannot be contacted.
Lao Li hurriedly put on a raincoat and rushed out of the door.
The leg that didn't feel lame was no longer sensational, and Xiao Li moaned loudly, struggling to sit up. At this time, a figure stood in front of him, Xiao Li raised his head and saw an arm stretched out, and then choked his neck.
His neck hurt, and Xiao Li beat the hard arm. Hovering in mid-air for two or three seconds, his arm let go of his hand, Xiao Li sat heavily on the ground, coughed several times to stop his neck pain, and then quickly crawled back, away from the figure.
A pair of red eyes is especially noticeable in the dark.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the face of this figure, which was Agricultural Machinery No. 3. Agricultural Machinery No. 3 looked at his right arm, as if he was recognizing his body and adapting to this action. Suddenly, Agricultural Machinery No. 3 began to tremble, clutching his chest, as if something was about to run out of his chest. Agricultural Machinery No. 3 knelt on the ground and thumped his chest vigorously, shattering the hard shell on it, revealing the parts and wiring inside. However, Agricultural Machinery No. 3 had no intention of stopping, and directly put his hand into his chest, grabbed a handful of wires, and pulled them out without hesitation. With a stab, Agricultural Machinery No. 3 felt that his body was out of control, and he stopped moving.
Xiao Li was frightened and cried by the action of Agricultural Machinery No. 3, and the rain, sweat and tears on his face turned into a puddle, pitiful and helpless. Xiao Li limped up, wanting to see what was wrong with Agricultural Machinery No. 3, only to see a big hole in his chest, in which a faint red light flickered. Xiao Li took a closer look and saw a beating heart.
Yes!
Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise and took four or five steps back before stopping.
It was as if Xiao Li's cry alarmed Agricultural Machinery No. 3, making Agricultural Machinery No. 3's eyes that had been extinguished light up again.
Xiao Li looked at it, it was terrible, hurry up and run away, and don't care about wheat or anything.
Agricultural Machinery No. 3 slowly raised his right hand and made the shape of a pistol, pointing his index finger at Xiao Li who was running in the distance, and then as soon as his index finger was raised, Xiao Li who was running in the distance was tripped by a big pit under his feet, and he couldn't get up directly on the ground.
The finger of Agricultural Machinery No. 3 was just an ordinary finger, and there was no muzzle or anything, but the thing in the distance still fell. Just when Agricultural Machinery No. 3 felt incredible, Xiao Li in the distance struggled to stand up, glanced back at Agricultural Machinery No. 3 kneeling next to the tractor, and then continued to limp away.
Lao Li, who had just run out of the entrance of the village, saw a person limping towards him from a distance.
Son? Is that you? Why did you come back alone? What about wheat?
Lao Li shouted loudly from afar.
The figure in the distance did not reply, and the knowledge limped along.
Lao Li walked forward a dozen steps before he could see it clearly, and he was directly frightened.
Agricultural Machinery No. 3? How did you end up like this?
Lao Li was a little distressed and wanted to go over to help him, but he was grabbed by the arm of Agricultural Machinery No. 3. Agricultural Machinery No. 3 twisted and dragged slightly, and kicked hard under his feet, directly kicking Lao Li out more than ten meters.
Lao Li rolled on the ground for I don't know how many times, but he fainted anyway, and left his arm in the hand of Agricultural Machinery No. 3.
This night was a bloody night, a nightmare for the whole village.
A few days later, because of this incident, the reputation of the agricultural machinery group plummeted after paying high compensation, and all the agricultural machinery was recalled, which directly caused the agricultural machinery group to lose tens of trillions of dollars, and owed tens of billions of debts, and it was not far from bankruptcy.
Other agricultural machinery groups have learned this lesson and have added one item to the after-sales service, that is, the safety insurance of agricultural machinery.
Agricultural machinery injury incident is only a small probability, but can not be ignored, and people are not willing to lose the agricultural machinery this good helper, can only be called insurance, on the one hand, for their own safety has a guarantee, on the other hand, after the expiration of the term of use of agricultural machinery, you can also trade in the old for the new, with insurance to spend less money, no insurance to spend more money to trade in the old, carefully calculated, pay insurance is more cost-effective.
The perpetrator of the first assault has not yet been found, and the robot, known as Agricultural Machinery No. 3, has been at large and nowhere to be found.
The good times did not last long, people began to notice some abnormalities in agricultural machinery, sometimes they would do some strange actions inexplicably, sometimes there would be signal failure without any malfunction, and sometimes farmers would violate the instructions issued by everyone and do some things independently, although these things did not hurt people, but they were already very dangerous.
People have complained that the agricultural machinery group sold them unsafe and faulty agricultural machinery, and asked for a refund of the return.
The crisis of trust in agricultural machinery has suddenly hit the agricultural machinery market, and everyone in the company that manufactures agricultural machinery is at risk.
The agricultural machinery that was repatriated to the factory was dismantled and reassembled and put back on the market. However, a strange thing happened. That is, some agricultural machinery will secretly get off the car on the way back to the factory. This not only made the agricultural machinery group lose a lot, but also made people re-understand agricultural machinery.
Some agricultural machinery is like a lost child, dangling in some places. Some of them were so powerful that they found their way home, and some people opened the door and saw that the agricultural machinery sent away a few days ago had run back by themselves.
These autonomous behaviors of agricultural machinery have attracted people's attention, and they have begun to study agricultural machinery in depth.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
These problematic agricultural machines seem to be receiving some kind of signal at the same time, and through this signal they are constantly learning. In the storage system of these agricultural machinery, people found a lot of images, as well as a few seconds of video and sound. It is the constant repetition of these videos and sounds that leads to these strange behaviors.
People wanted to know where the videos and sounds came from, and many scientists began to investigate the matter.
The first incident of agricultural machinery injuring people was turned over.
Since then, agricultural machinery is no longer a simple agricultural machine, but a newly rising race.
Finish.
