Chapter 102: Agricultural Automation
The goods that came at the same time as this packaging machine and the electronic equipment I ordered were delivered by Oriental Technology Company, and I went to work on this, so I didn't bother to go to the wholesale station.
After getting these equipment, such as wind and snow work overtime to install.
These tasks are delicate and technically demanding, and for them, it is as easy as picking cucumbers and eggplants.
All of the mechanical power equipment on the island is equipped with an automatic control system, which needs to be commissioned next.
"Master, there is another problem that you need to run errands to solve, the network signal, you can't do anything without the network."
Rufeng handed over this crucial matter to me.
I'm really in a bit of a troubled situation. There is no network cable in the space, only wireless transmission, which is not a big problem. I bought a mobile WiFi device, got a data card, and it was solved.
Put the mobile WiFi and the computer in the small house, and the computer will have a network signal.
That's the first step. The most troublesome thing is how to receive wireless signals for those large machines. There's no way I'm going to build a base station on an island, and there's no way the internet company can help me build there.
In the end, it was Rufeng who helped me solve the problem.
I bought a high-power signal amplifier from the network company and installed it on the roof of a small house, and the signal can cover a radius of 20 kilometers. There are signal receivers on each device, such as wind one by one test, no problem.
Next, it sets up a local area network to connect all the devices into one system. During the linkage test, new difficulties were encountered.
The latitude and longitude of different dimensions are not the same as those on Earth, which means that those mechanical devices cannot be accurately located. Now you can only start driving remotely and do an action, and the relative position between each other cannot be controlled. This is not possible to complete the job.
Such problems as wind and snow do not have a similar solution to storage. If it were in the real world, with ready-made GPS positioning systems, there would be no such problem at all.
The technology is stuck.
I wanted to ask Fang Gong to see if he had a solution, but after thinking about it, I didn't want him to know the secrets of the different dimension.
Rufeng and Ruxue did not give up, as long as they had time, the two of them studied and discussed, and even drew drawings on the computer for deduction to test the feasibility of the plan they wanted, so that they gave up their hobbies of fishing, playing chess, and feeding chickens.
It wasn't until I finally came up with a very distinctive personality plan that I realized that they had not rested at night for the past few days, and they had been working on it, and I was a little moved.
The scheme is not complicated, install 4 wireless ranging devices around the island, and install another one at the top of the warehouse, so that each mechanical equipment has different coordinates relative to these fixed ranging devices, and the equipment can be completely positioned.
I don't know anything about these technical things, I can do whatever they say, and I'm only responsible for buying the electronic equipment I need.
These equipment are sold in Loess County, and there is no need to trouble Dongfang Technology Company. Once the equipment is bought, the installation is simple. By the way, I bought some solar lamps, and there are lights in the warehouse and near the chicken coop.
The wind and snow could not contain their excitement and immediately conducted a linkage test.
Combine harvesters and dump trucks run fast in the open space, driving in a straight line, turning, stopping, unloading, and working together seamlessly.
Succeed with flying colors!
After that, the wheat was harvested in earnest.
The first time I applied this remote-controlled autonomous driving combine harvesting system, I was still a little worried, worried that something would go wrong, and I kept staring at the scene.
Rufeng was also at the scene, watching the speeding vehicle intently.
Like snow in a small house, guarding the computer operation.
As a result, I was just worried, there was no glitch, everything was done as expected, fast, efficient, and the key is to liberate the problem of having to drive by yourself.
In order to improve work efficiency, Rufeng suggested that it is no longer possible to collect a cart of grain and transport it out, if it is any longer, it will inevitably prolong the harvesting time, delay the cultivation, and the design of the automatic control system will lose its meaning.
The optimal solution is to temporarily store the harvested grain in the warehouse, and then transport the grain out of the warehouse after the harvest is completed.
This is true for grain, and it is also true for straw.
In this way, the operation does not have to be rushed, except when the harvest is being made, at any time, and the degree of freedom is greater. What's even better about this option is that there is even more potential, which will eventually come to this point with the dramatic expansion of the planted area, otherwise the land will be left unused.
It's a question I can't avoid.
That being the case, I took its advice.
The way it works outside of space, I have to change with it.
Adopting the plan of the wind, there is no need to rush to sell food every day. The wheat and corn are temporarily stored in the warehouse of the space, and when they are idle like the wind, I will transport them out.
The leased factory building is not enough. I called the fat aunt who rented it out and rented the other two idle factories together. At this point, the entire compound is at my disposal.
One is used to put wheat, one is used to put corn, and the other plant is used to put corn straw green fodder, and wheat straw can only be stored in the open air.
I can do this work at night, or I can concentrate on a certain time to do it, and I don't have to do it in the afternoon as before, and I am much more free in terms of time allocation.
But there was one problem I had to face reality. Due to the continuous increase in grain production, the storage in the warehouse is not something that can be pulled by ten or eight trucks. Wind and snow have their own specific tasks, and they alone cannot transport these grains away in time, not to mention green fodder and wheat straw.
This didn't bother me, and I thought of the transport convoy. So I called the manager of the team and asked him to send someone to help me transport it.
But things didn't go the way I imagined. This guy had an accident, he had a lawsuit because of the debt problem, and his financial ability to compensate was limited, so he squatted in the class.
I usually keep in touch with him, and I have helped me a lot, although I haven't met him, I still have some feelings. Out of humanitarian and business concern, I went to the detention center.
This guy is very righteous, he can't run the team, and asks me if I can take over. After inquiring in detail about the details of the team, I said that I could take care of it for him temporarily. All the vehicles are not his own, but the driver's, he just contacts the specific source of goods and takes a cut from it, and a phone call is all his business.
It just so happened that I needed a transport vehicle and agreed to him without hesitation. This guy was really righteous enough to call me in front of me and tell one of the drivers that they had changed bosses and that they had something to contact me.
I was impressed. Ask him if he needs help? This guy is refreshing, saying that there is no big problem, and he will go out in half a year. After he came out, he didn't plan to do anything about the transport team anymore, and he wouldn't get involved in it in the future, and I would completely take over the business.
Before I left, he passed me the phone numbers of all the drivers.
