Chapter 267: Harvest

On the evening of January 8, Mayor Lin Xingkang led the management of Lanhai City to receive representatives of Xinghuo Technology.

Lin Xingkang was sincerely grateful: "I would like to thank Xinghuo Technology for developing the water city project.

At the time, everyone thought that the project would not be successful, and that everyone in the system did not take it seriously.

I was a little disheartened and just wanted to find a place away from right and wrong.

I didn't expect to be able to fulfill my ambitions in this city, and I felt that it was better to work here for more than 10 years as well as for a month. ”

After Lin Xingkang sighed, he smiled at Zhou Yu and said apologetically: "I was a little excited just now, and I said something inappropriate, let's talk about it differently."

Mr. Zhou Yu, what do you think is the yield of aquatic potatoes and aquatic cabbage?

Aquatic potatoes as the staple food and aquatic cabbage as the main vegetables, whether they can meet the needs of 150,000 citizens and 20,000 or 30,000 floating population in Lanhai City. ”

Lin Xingkang is very concerned about maritime agriculture and animal husbandry, which is not only related to the self-sufficiency of Blue Ocean City.

Let the local people give less blood transfusions to Lanhai City, so as to reflect his strong management ability of Lin Xingkang.

Maritime agriculture and animal husbandry is the primary industry marching to the sea, and fighting the first battle is very important to the development of maritime agriculture and animal husbandry.

He became one of the pioneers of maritime agriculture and animal husbandry, and once he was labeled with this label, it would be more powerful for his future career development.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "The yield of aquatic potatoes and aquatic cabbage is not easy to estimate now.

But according to the samples collected and the sights captured by the drone.

The output of aquatic potatoes and aquatic cabbage meets the needs of Blue Ocean City for its own use, and there should be no problem with this.

I conservatively estimate that the production of aquatic potatoes is at least 9 million tons. ”

Lin Xingkang stood up and said excitedly: "It can be as high as 9 million tons, that's good, that's good, everything is waiting for tomorrow's harvest results."

On January 9th, it is the harvest time for aquatic potatoes and aquatic cabbage.

Aquatic crops have a strict receiving time, scientists monitor the situation in real time, and the receiving time must be set within 1~2 days.

Aquatic crops grow in seawater, and immature aquatic crops are not tasty and have a bitter feeling.

When aquatic crops mature, they release odors that cause animals to peck at them and must be harvested as soon as possible, or they will be spoiled by fish and birds.

Aquatic crops began to be harvested, and there were major media reporters in Blue Ocean City, who flew drones and kept an eye on the harvesting plan of aquatic crops.

The Ministry of Rural Agriculture has also sent a deputy minister to lead experts to witness the maritime agriculture and animal husbandry, and once it is effective, it is ready to be promoted to the whole country.

The construction of water cities is very difficult and requires huge funds.

Maritime agriculture and animal husbandry are much simpler, and anyone with small assets can invest.

Lin Xingkang, the mayor of Lanhai City, gave an order, and the harvesting team that had been preparing for a long time began to act.

The harvesters responsible for aquatic crops are converted from semi-submersible vessels to swallow all aquatic crops directly into the hold, which has harvesting machinery in the hold to separate the crops that are needed.

Semi-submersible ships are flanked by transport vessels, which are loaded directly with basic treated aquatic crops.

The sight of thousands of ships harvesting aquatic crops together on a farm at sea is inspiring.

Tourists who come to Blue Ocean City are very excited when they look at the harvest scene of the sea farm on the edge of Blue Ocean City.

Mechanized slicing was fast, and when the yield data for one acre of aquatic potatoes came out, everyone had a smile on their faces.

The yield of aquatic potatoes lives up to expectations, and is not inferior to the yield on land.

Soon, the output of aquatic potatoes on tens of thousands of hectares of offshore farms was as high as 51.28 million tons.

Lin Xingkang didn't expect that the output of aquatic potatoes could be so huge, and now the country has listed potatoes as one of the staple foods, and potato multigrain flour is not inferior to wheat flour when making steamed bread noodles.

He also remembered that the total grain output in 2022 was only 676.47 million tons, which was the total grain output of the country, which was the total grain output of potatoes, corn and other miscellaneous grains.

2022 is not a good year for agriculture, with rainy weather in the south and drought in the north, and a high incidence of pests and diseases.

The grain output in 2022 is not the lowest grain output in the past 10 years, it can only be said to be average.

A sea farm in a blue ocean city can produce nearly one-tenth of the total grain production.

"It's another granary on the scale of the Northeast, and it's not affected by the seasons, even if the aquatic crops need three times as much fertilizer as conventional farmland.

With the yield and growth time of aquatic crops. With a huge grain output and a well-established grain primary processing industry. Let the Chinese people no longer have to worry about food and clothing. ”

Soon the output of aquatic cabbage also came out, more than 10,000 hectares of aquatic cabbage, the output is as high as 7 million tons, which can not only meet the appetite of the citizens of Blue Ocean City, but also the excess aquatic cabbage is sold all over the country, it is an important industry in Blue Ocean City.

Lin Xingkang instructed the secretary: "In order to celebrate today's harvest, dozens of pigs and fish will be slaughtered, and today the canteen will hold a pig and fish banquet to celebrate with the people of the city."

Lin Xingkang pays attention to the quality of food, and Zhou Yu also pays attention to the quality of food, but this quality is not the quality of the other.

The Xinghuo Science and Technology expert group is performing cell tissue examination and genome sequencing on harvested aquatic potatoes and aquatic cabbage.

Investigate whether large-scale cultivation of aquatic crops will change the structure and genes of cells.

Only aquatic crops that can be stably genetically inherited can take on the responsibility of staple food.

Huang Ke held the conclusion of the expert group in his hand and reported to Zhou Yu: "Mr. Zhou, after the test of the expert team, the genetic material of aquatic potatoes and aquatic cabbage has not changed, and their nutritional composition is the same as what we have detected in the laboratory.

The genetics of aquatic crops are very stable, and there are no large-scale genetic mutations. ”

When Zhou Yu heard the news, he laughed and said, "That's good, very good." In the future, farmers can rest assured that they can plant aquatic crops, and we will also study more aquatic cash crops in the future to fill the gap of current offshore farms. ”

Aquatic potatoes are transported to Blue Ocean City by transport ship, and they are shipped directly to the processing plant.

Aquatic potatoes are mostly processed as a staple food, and they are rinsed with fresh water and placed directly in the drying room.

Aquatic potatoes are dried with water, and most of the remaining substance is starch, which enters the flour mill and is processed into potato flour.

A small portion of the aquatic potatoes are also sold as vegetables, which are placed in open fields to drain the surface of the seawater, and then stored in cold storage or sold throughout the country.

The processing of aquatic cabbage is simpler, and the rotten cabbage is picked out manually and stacked neatly and ready to be sold.

Blue Ocean City began to celebrate the harvest of the sea farm, and the canteen directly used the flour processed from some of the aquatic potatoes harvested a few days ago to make multigrain steamed buns.

The dishes are stir-fried shredded potatoes, stewed cabbage with pork and fish, shredded potatoes with cold cabbage, steamed pork fish, braised pork fish, and boiled pork fish.

The meals were hearty, and some tourists were able to eat aquatic potatoes, aquatic cabbage, and pork and fish for the first time, and they were full of praise for these three novelties.

Huaxia is a big foodie country, and it has always been very picky about food, and the food that can make most people praise is really delicious.
