Chapter 209: Agricultural Mechanization: That's Necessary
Old man Chen laughed so much that his old face wrinkled, and his mouth was so grinning that the cigarette butt almost fell off: "This girl is in a hurry." The agricultural station does not produce agricultural machinery, and the government serves the farmers, and they do training and maintenance, but there is no agricultural machinery in the station. β
Xie Ling was stunned, but Wang Lu was informed, which is not surprising, just like the director of the agricultural bureau is definitely not a big contractor, it is normal for the agricultural machinery station to not have its own agricultural machinery, it is more responsible for maintenance and promotion, and farmers have to find the factory to buy agricultural machinery.
Wang Lu said to the old man Chen who was still laughing: "Uncle, although the agricultural machinery station does not produce agricultural machinery itself, sometimes they will also help farmers and manufacturers to match, maybe lucky, the station just happened to transport a batch of new agricultural machinery." Besides, you have to find them for agricultural machinery maintenance, before the outbreak of this Resident Evil, there must be a large grain grower who sent agricultural machinery for maintenance, right? We don't ask for more, it's enough to have one in hand, after all, we don't have a place to hide rice, and there is no place to put it when we harvest too much. β
Old man Chen slapped his thigh: "Xiao Wang is an understanding person, what you say is reasonable, in the final analysis, we still have to find an agricultural machinery station." β
Xie Ling flattened his mouth next to him, and Uncle Chen was really, after going around for a long time, he came up with the sentence "I still have to find an agricultural machinery station", what is the difference between this and what I said.
Wang Lu can understand the meaning of Uncle Chen's words, for a long time in the future, everyone will be farmers, this agricultural machinery is the key to the key, even if there is no agricultural machinery waiting for maintenance in the agricultural machinery station, in the long run, they still have to "beat" the agricultural machinery station, the complete set of maintenance tools, all kinds of spare parts, oil and lubricating oil in the agricultural machinery station, but the real baby.
Wang Lu suddenly thought of one thing, in fact, this matter had long been in his heart, but the people around him were all illiterate, and it was useless to ask. Now that there is Old Man Chen, a good crop handful, he didn't ask when he would wait at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, after harvesting rice, do you still want to plant seedlings?" Double robbery and double robbery, you have to grab the harvest and grab the seeds. If we are also going to plant late rice, do we have any seedlings? Also, I heard that hybrid rice can't be seeded, so what about the seeds in the future? Isn't there an older farmer in our countryside who grows some traditional rice varieties that can be retained? β
Wang Lu crackled, this call was fast and urgent, and he was in a hurry. Even his body leaned out of the sofa, and his saliva splashed unconsciously.
Old man Chen was disturbed by this question, and it took a long time to barely straighten out Wang Lu's question, put out the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and said with a glance: "Our Yonggang farmers don't like to eat hybrid rice, and the rice tastes bad, so some large grain growers grow it and sell it to the country. Xiangning 88 and Xiushui 134 can be kept at home, as long as the selection is good, it will not be a problem to plant again in the next year. Just ......"
Wang Lu was greatly relieved when he heard that he could keep the seeds, this guy also looked stupid by reading the posts on the Internet, and once read an article on the seed war on the Iron and Blood Network, saying that the seeds of the whole world are controlled by international giants such as Meng Dushan. If terrorists attack the seed storage bank in Mengdu Mountain, the people in the whole world will have no seeds to plant, and they will all starve to death. Wang Lu was stunned, this guy knew that Chinese farmers were planting the famous hybrid rice. The characteristic of hybrid rice is that it cannot be left behind. Although the stock of grain can ensure that there will be no food supply crisis in a short period of time, it is not always a way to sit back and eat empty, and farming is the king. The problem is, if you can't keep the seeds, then you still have a fart.
Now I heard Old Man Chen say that there are seeds that can be planted, so I let go of the big trouble in my heart.
However, Old Man Chen obviously didn't want to make Wang Lu easy, and after a long time, he said, "It's just that I don't have any rice seeds in my hands now." β
Wang Lu almost jumped up from the sofa: "Uncle." Didn't you just say you could keep the seeds? β
Old man Chen coughed a few times and said: "This kind of seed can be kept, but there is no saying that every household in our countryside has left to plant and raise seedlings. There are also various facilities for raising seedlings, and the seedlings planted are much better than those cultivated by our small households. ββ¦,
Wang Lu is in a daze, this is the harm of agricultural industrialization, each link has a special person in charge, interlocking, under normal circumstances, such a way can greatly promote the development of productive forces, just like the old man Chen said, the seedlings produced by large seedling farmers are definitely better than retail households, but the problem is that once there is an emergency, this chain is broken, even if only one of the links is broken, the whole chain will be finished.
Wang Lu asked with a ten-thousandth hope: "Uncle, do you think it's possible, then the big seedling farmers have already cultivated all the seedlings, let's look for it, maybe we can find it?" β
Mrs. Cui had been listening to the side, and then interjected: "Xiao Wang, these seedlings are all raised at the end of June and the beginning of July, think about it, that season-"
Wang Lu understood Mrs. Cui's words, at that time, the resident crisis had already broken out, and it was too late to escape, who would have the leisure to raise seedlings.
Old man Chen sighed: "Xiao Wang, this seedling raising is a meticulous job, I didn't think about raising seedlings by myself, but first, the rice at home has long been milled into rice, and I can't pick out any seeds if I want to, and second, I lack the tools to build a greenhouse, so I will definitely not be able to plant late rice this year." β
Wang Lu was a little frustrated, but he still smiled reluctantly: "There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, when the summer rice is harvested, we can leave seeds for planting early rice, and we will miss a season of late rice planting, no trouble." β
Old man Chen nodded: "Xiao Wang, even if we keep the seedlings and raise the seedlings, we won't have too many fields to plant by ourselves, and we won't be able to plant many fields without the help of large agricultural machinery." β
Wang Lu Zhilu said, Old Man Chen is polite, he shouldn't use "we", but the word "I" is right, Yashan and Houlong Village add up to a total of 6 people, but only Old Man Chen is the real farmer, with his own strength without the help of machinery, how many fields can he plant? Not to mention after the seedlings are planted. It also has to be managed in the later stage, irrigation, fertilization, and insect control. The rural fields in the south of the Yangtze River are seriously divided, unlike the Northeast, and are not suitable for large-scale mechanized planting, just look at the fields under the cliff mountain, there are a few rice fields, mixed with vegetable fields, bamboo forests, lotus ponds, aquaculture ponds, rush grass, etc., the ditches and ridges crisscross the fields, and even more outrageous is that some fields still have ancestral graves, this kind of place. Agricultural machinery has to be driven carefully.
Wang Lu sighed: "Uncle, I know your words, even if you plant a field, no chemical fertilizer or pesticide is a big trouble, if you don't do it well, you have to go back to the old days of relying on the sky to eat." β
What is the situation of relying on the sky to eat and farm? If you look at North Korea, you can see that the fields are the same fields, and the farmers are the same farmers, but because of the international blockade. There are no chemical fertilizers and no pesticides, and a little drought and flooding will be a national famine.
Old man Chen also sighed: "Xiao Wang is a person who understands, how can there be no chemical fertilizers and pesticides in farming now, you city people say every day that you want to be environmentally friendly and healthy, and you can't use pesticides and can't apply chemical fertilizers, hey, there are no pesticides and fertilizers in this field, and the insects can eat everything alone." You city people still eat. Now it's good enough to be environmentally friendly and healthy, but this yield, it's hard to say, now we are planting fields, and a single crop of rice can have 500 kilograms. Those with good craftsmanship can grow 900 kilograms. I estimate that if you can produce 200 kilograms per mu without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it will be blessed by God. β
The yield of 200 kilograms per mu is really not much, but it is also a lot. Wang Lu silently calculated, even if the per capita ration is 300 kilograms a year, plus feed grain, ten acres of land for 6 people is enough to survive.
But there is a good saying. There is food in the hand and there is no panic in the heart, no one knows what natural and man-made disasters will be encountered in the future, the more food is always the better, according to the mentality of the rich man of Wang Lu, he can't plant rice everywhere he can see.
Old man Chen coughed and said, "It's a bit far to say this. Anyway, we can't starve to death, and the most important thing now is to get agricultural machinery and get the harvest done this summer first. β
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, but you still have to get the agricultural machinery station.
Xie Lingteng stood up suddenly: "Uncle, tell me, where is the agricultural machinery standing?" β
The agricultural machinery station is next to the town government on the left side of the central bridge in Yinjiang Town.
Wang Lu and Xie Ling's faces were a little pale.
This is not the past two people to grab a handful of monsters and leave, the agricultural machinery station must become a stable stronghold, not only can drive slow agricultural machinery from it, but also have to send agricultural machinery for maintenance from time to time in the future. β¦,
Therefore, killing zombies and killing a large number of zombies in the center of Yinjiang Town has become the only feasible way.
Wang Lu gritted his teeth tightly and said for a while: "Uncle, how many days are there until the summer harvest?" β
Old man Chen pinched his fingers: "Another week at mostβnever more than 10 days." β
Wang Lu stood up and said to Xie Ling: "Let's go, kill the zombies." β
For 7 to 10 days, the two of them had to go deep into the center of Yinjiang Town to kill as many zombies as possible, and they really couldn't waste a minute or a second.
Old man Chen knew that now was not the time for Laqua to be homely, and he didn't say anything to keep guests, so he stood up and sent Wang Lu and Xie Ling out, and said: "I'll look for it in Houlong Village first, I remember that someone came to collect the soil harvester that used to be pulled by oxen, although that thing can't withstand the oil-burning agricultural machinery, it is much faster than manual hand cutting, just for our old cows." In case you ...... there"
Wang Lu nodded, in case he and Xie Ling failed, and the agricultural machinery stronghold was not brought down, they could only rely on the old cow who was grazing in Old Man Chen's yard to work, at this time, Mrs. Cui walked to the old cow and patted the horns: "Old man, don't look down on this old man, these days, I add material to it every day, and feed it raw eggs, just waiting for it to sell a handful of labor." β
The old cow seemed to understand Mrs. Cui's words, and screamed and flicked his tail.
When Wang Lu and Xie Ling said goodbye to Mrs. Cui, the old man Chen, the old man repeatedly told him that it was important to hit the agricultural machinery station, but the safety of his own life was even more important, even if he couldn't beat the agricultural machinery station, he wouldn't starve to death, and it was a big deal to harvest less rice.
rowed back to Yinjiang in a small boat, found the raft, Wang Lu supported the bamboo raft, Xie Ling rowed, all the way back to the foot of Yashan.
Every now and then, it rains.
Tie up the bamboo raft, Wang Lu jumped into the boat, Xie Ling rowed the oars very tacitly, and rowed along the Yinjiang River towards the center of the town.
Xie Ling pointed while paddling the oars: "Last time, in order to find Wang Bi'an, I entered the center of the town along the river, and before reaching the port at the end, I crossed a bridge, which was quite big and could cross two cars in both directions. It should be the bridge that Uncle Chen said, and the agricultural machinery station should be on the left side of the bridge. β
Wang Lu wiped the raindrops on his face: "There are a lot of zombies." This is not an interrogative sentence, it is a declarative sentence.
Xie Ling nodded: "A lot." β
Wang Lu felt a deep sense of powerlessness, if he was given enough time, he and Xie Ling had the confidence to clean up the zombies in Guangyinjiang Town, but, time! Time! What is missing now is time.
The shortest is 7 days, the longest is 10 days, how many zombies can he and Xie Ling kill?
The zombies who are slowly awakening their instincts are becoming more and more difficult to kill, the instinct of cooperative hunting, the instinct of avoiding the light and hiding, Wang Lu doesn't know how many instincts of zombies will awaken.
Call Chen Wei and Wang Bian to kill zombies together? Forget it, those two will only add to the chaos.
Wang Lu couldn't figure out a clue in a mess, so he simply shook his head, your sister, the boat will go straight to the bridge, first go to the town center bridge that Xie Ling said, and find the agricultural machinery station.
The boat slowly entered Yinjiang Town, the river began to narrow here, but it also became deeper, and there were more houses on both banks, and after a while, there was a fork, this fork Wang Road recognized, to the left is to go to its mountain weir. Xie Ling steered the boat straight forward into the town.
Wang Lu looked up blankly, this is already the center of the town, he and Xie Ling have never been here when they climbed over the wall on the roof, on the road on the shore, you can see abandoned cars everywhere, a few cars have rushed into the river, a few houses have been burned down in half, and there are even traces of explosions, I think it is caused by gas cylinders, this kind of country town is not connected to pipeline gas, but fortunately it is not connected, otherwise, the power of pipeline gas explosion will be greater.
On both sides of the river, on the balconies of buildings, you can see people everywhere, and they are all zombies.
Today there is rain, no sun exposure, it seems that the zombies are happy to come out for a walk, they crowded on the road in groups, soon some zombies found the boat in the river, and then alarmed more zombies.
