Chapter 368: Corn on the Cob
Su Zhe and the five listened to the narrator explain the process of planting rice in the rice planting area.
From the ratio of land to the selection of rice seeds, to the control of the environment of rice planting areas and the maintenance of microecology in rice planting areas.
Finally, the whole process from sowing to harvesting of rice is explained.
The whole process is automated and intelligent.
After hearing this, Zuo Dajun joked: "These rice are living an emperor-like life, in this small space, rice is the real protagonist, everything is for the service of rice, compared with rice on the earth, one is heaven and the other is underground, there is no comparison between the two at all."
"Dajun, you have a strange idea, this can make you compare, there is really no one." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Speaking of which, the space farm model is not the best way to use energy, so it takes a lot of energy to maintain the environment of the rice growing area, but it is different on Earth."
The space farm model is indeed capable of growing crops on a large scale and can greatly increase yields, but the energy consumed is also staggering.
Compared to rice grown on Earth, the difference in energy consumed by the same harvest is very large.
If you really want to say it, growing rice on the earth consumes the least amount of energy and uses the most energy.
Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "Understand, just like oil agriculture in the past, we can say that it is solar agriculture, in the final analysis, it is high energy consumption to maintain the living environment of rice, in fact, we don't care now, we have the light pillar project, we have the sun, we have endless energy, we have the capital and conditions to use energy to pile up, anyway, in a long period of time we have achieved energy freedom."
Petroleum agriculture, or big mechanical agriculture.
This type of agriculture is highly dependent on oil, and almost all of the fertilizers and pesticides used in this way come from oil, plus the oil consumed by those machinery.
Relatively speaking, this method is much more convenient than traditional farming, but the energy consumption is much higher than in the past.
Now this space farm model can be said to be the ultimate version of the evolution of oil farming.
It is no longer like oil agriculture to change the local production environment of crops, such as the use of chemical fertilizers, the removal of weeds and pests and diseases, but the whole ecology.
To put it bluntly, the space farm rice planting area is to create an optimal ecology for rice growth, and to create an ecology.
The amount of energy it takes to maintain an ecology can be imagined.
Whether it is oil agriculture or the current model, in the final analysis, there are still conditions, and there is no need to consider energy utilization.
Bauchi coughed and said, "What does it mean that for a long time, the proton fusion device has been designed, and now it is under construction, as long as the proton fusion device is successful, we humans will master the controlled nuclear fusion technology, and we humans will achieve energy freedom, and at that time, even if the sun blows up, we will be able to survive in the universe."
Zuo Dajun was a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "Yes! I forgot about the proton fusion device, and it was done, and we were energy free, and then it didn't matter."
After chatting for a while, Fan Xiaoming saw that it was almost over, and reminded: "Let's go, let's go to the wheat planting area and the corn planting area to have a look, and there are others, and after reading these, we will also have their space pastures."
At this time, several people flew off the ground and flew towards the wheat planting area under the guidance of the narrator.
It was also at this time that the rice-growing area began to darken, and within a while, the rice-growing area was completely darkened.
Although the rice planting area was darkened, it did not affect the flight of Su Zhe and the others in the slightest.
After the rice planting area was darkened, Su Zhe and the others changed the observation mode of the humanoid robot.
It is important to know that humanoid robots can observe things not only in the frequency band range of visible light, but also in the range of invisible light, and with the assistance of SS-defense systems and other detection facilities, the range of observation will be even greater.
From Su Zheji
From a human perspective, the rice-growing area slowly becomes dark, and finally it becomes completely dark, and nothing can be seen.
After a few people changed the pattern, what a few people saw was basically the same as before.
Zuo Dajun said as he flew, "It's a simulated night, not bad...... It's just that the observation mode of the humanoid robot needs to be optimized, after changing the mode, there is no difference between the night and the day, I said that this simulation is not too much, I think this is not real enough, it is better to see what is, there is no need to completely echo our habits."
He understands the nighttime observation patterns of humanoid robots.
Under normal circumstances, the frequency band that the humanoid robot can see is the same as the frequency band that a human can see, and the purpose is very simple, that is, the human and the humanoid robot can see the same, and there can be no deviation.
If there is a deviation, it can be misleading and uncomfortable.
In order to achieve this, the relevant research teams have spent a lot of effort.
You must know that there is a slight difference between the results seen by everyone in the same picture, and everyone is different.
The same goes for people and cameras.
After the humanoid robot changed to night observation mode, the picture it actually saw was gray, and the reason why it saw it was similar to reality was that it was processed.
Some details are added and subtracted during processing, so that the image seen in this mode is not so realistic.
Bao Qi thought for a moment and said, "In this regard, we have also considered, some details will be lost in the processed picture, and relevant research is underway, and it is estimated that the selection mode will be added in the future."
"That's right!" Zuo Dajun smiled, "But this night and day still have to be distinguished, we still have to stand in our human perspective, in fact, it doesn't matter if it is simulated or not, reality is the most important, after all, the picture we see with our human eyes is also through a series of operations such as processing."
"Army, I've left you alone." Bao Qi shook his head helplessly, "Actually, these are still in the exploration stage, and in the end, it depends on the actual situation, but there are two things that will not become, that is, real and from the perspective of human beings."
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "The vision of the humanoid robot itself should not be those bells and whistles, just be the same as us, as for the other use of virtual reality and other tools to assist, just look at this mode very twisted, obviously it is night, it is the same as the day, I always feel weird, look at it!" I'm going to write this when I'm writing the experience report, and there's really no need to do all this bells and whistles when it's visual."
Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "That's the case, look at it, there is a door in front of you, we can't see it, is it a bit of a bells and whistles, or is it a normal mode, you can switch over and try."
Under Xu Zhengping's prompting, several people switched to observation mode.
Sure enough, they saw a faint light coming out of the wall.
The door to the wall opened, and the faint light was so conspicuous in the dark rice-growing area.
Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "It's quite atmospheric to look at it this way, speaking of which, seeing these is the right way to open, day is day, night is night, there is no need to get together, they can't be separated."
A few people said and entered the open door.
After entering, the door behind the few people closed.
A few people entered a long passage, and as they walked through the passage, there was sometimes wind and fog, and from time to time there were beams of light swept by, and they also passed through three gates, and finally came to the wheat planting area.
Zuo Dajun looked at the closed door behind him and joked, "Just this disinfection and sterilization process, if a real person passes through, he won't burp directly."
This is the third time he has undergone such disinfection and sterilization, and he still can't help but complain.
Such a passage is ironclad without utensils.
"Whoever runs here with a real person, even if a real person comes, it is definitely fully armed." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Besides, it really won't work without such disinfection and sterilization
The ecology of different growing areas is different, and if we bring any fungal viruses from the rice-growing areas, the wheat in this wheat growing area will be completely ruined."
"Isn't it! It's that serious." Zuo Dajun was a little unconvinced, "This ecology won't be so fragile!"
A few people flew in mid-air and looked at the patches of wheat seedlings below.
I don't agree with the rice planting area here, this is the daytime, or the kind of scorching sun, a few people can see it clearly.
"Fragile, unusually fragile." Su Zhe explained, "Compared to the ecology of the earth, the ecology here is extremely fragile, although these wheat and rice crops are resistant to themselves, but it does not prevent bad fungi and viruses from destroying the balance of this small ecology."
Each planting area is a small balanced ecology, and the highest service of this ecology is the crops of this growing area.
For example, the ecology of wheat-growing areas is for wheat.
This ecology has been built through meticulous research, whether it is fungi or viruses, or some other organism or something, it has reached a balance.
If other organisms enter this ecology, it is very likely to break the ecology that serves crops.
After Su Zhe finished explaining, he asked the narrator to help Zuo Dajun continue to explain.
In the process, several people came to the ground to check the growth of the wheat.
It has to be said that the wheat grown in this ecological environment is called a vigorous one.
At this time, the wheat seedlings have already pulled out the ears of wheat, and these ears of wheat are like pasting and copying, to be precise, each wheat is like pasting and copying.
When Su Zhe and the others were observing, Zuo Dajun ran over and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, it seems that I have to make up for this knowledge in the future, otherwise I will be blind and don't know anything."
A few people smiled, except for Hao Yi, other people here don't know much about these, and they will see something fresh when they come to visit, and they don't know the specific details.
Fan Xiaoming joked: "Dajun, you are going to study biology and agriculture, this is not more complicated than mecha and space suits, if you want to learn it completely, mathematics, physics, and chemistry must not be bad, otherwise you will learn half-baked."
"That...... I have this kind of mind, and the most I can do is to understand the common sense of application, at least I won't make jokes in the future, I don't know anything, and people like me who don't know like to ask, it's better to know some common sense." Zuo Dajun said and looked up at the sky, "I said that this simulation is too real, this sunlight is killing people, and it is hot on the body, and this simulation is estimated to be the noon sun."
"You said it was right." Fan Xiaoming said and waved his hand, and the relevant data of the wheat planting area appeared in front of several people.
If you look at the data, you can see that it is the noon sun that is simulated at this time.
Zuo Dajun smiled, "It's true, this simulation is really like that."
Fan Xiaoming reminded, "It's not just like, the wave band in the sunlight is the favorite of wheat, which can promote the growth of wheat to the greatest extent."
Zuo Dajun nodded, "Understand, this is a wheat growing area, and wheat is the protagonist here."
After visiting the wheat planting area, several people led by the narrator to the corn planting area through a passage.
When they came here, several people were surprised to find that many of these corns were ripe, and there were many robots of the kind seen in potato growing areas, and these robots carried a basket on their backs to shuttle through the corn fields to pick ripe corn.
A few people turned around and found that the robots had gathered the corn they had picked in one place.
After listening to the narrator's explanation, I learned that these mature corns will be packed and sent to the space ranch, or processed into various agricultural and sideline products in the central factory of the space farm, and supplied to the space ranch, space fishery, and the No. 1 ecosystem.
Su Zhe and the others landed in the corn field, and the narrator directly controlled a robot that was picking.
After a while, Su Zhe and the five of them each had a corn cob.
Zuo Dajun looked at the corn cob that had been peeled in his hand and said with a smile
"This is still that kind of waxy corn, this grows well, it looks like a painting, I want to take a bite when I look at these corn kernels, but it's a pity that I'm not here...... I said, by the way, humanoid robots also have a sense of taste."
After speaking, Zuo Dajun took a bite down.
It was too late for the narrator to stop it.
Fan Xiaoming hurriedly reminded, "Dajun, you can taste it, don't vomit."
At this point, the narrator began to explain why.
While the narrator was controlling the robot to speak, another robot flew over with a large box.
Zuo Dajun spit all the chewed corn kernels into the box.
Zuo Dajun smiled awkwardly and said, "It's delicious, this corn is better than the best corn I've ever tasted."
As he spoke, Zuo Dajun gnawed on the corn cob in his hand again.
Ate and vomited, vomited and ate.
After a while, a corn cob was gnawed by Zuo Dajun.
When Zuo Dajun wanted to nibble on another one, he was stopped by Fan Xiaoming.
"Army, it's almost, if you want to eat corn and go to the virtual universe, don't pit people here."
