Chapter 188: The Frustration of Smart Agricultural Machinery
The last two days before going to space are reserved for astronauts to reunite with their relatives and friends, because human beings are too fragile to underestimate the risks at any time.
Of course, Li Wei is accompanying his wife and children, Hu Dong has already been married, and the children are eight years old.
Lin Ju, Lin Ju has no relatives, and his past friends have not been in touch for a long time, so he can only go around his base.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and to be honest, the engineers at the base might be more reliable than their family and friends.
In the morning, Lin Ju should go to the hangar as usual, pick a Feilong Zhongjiao plane that has just been refurbished, and fly a few times around the base.
But today he walked to the hangar and turned back, because it was also risky.
Although the Flying Dragon Zhongjiao Aircraft purchased the latest version of Lucia's ejection seat, an emergency ejection can lead to a fracture, so what is the day, and there will be time to fly in the future.
γQingyang Smart Agriculture Demonstration Baseγ
"Welcome Director Lin!"
The person in charge of the base warmly entertained Lin Ju, who was just curiously observing the large neat farmland behind him.
When developing the XW151 intelligent driving system, the engineers said that the application of this system to planting operations will have very good results, so Lin Ju specially approved a team to engage in smart agricultural machinery.
Therefore, such a large aerospace enterprise as Xinyuan Aerospace Power actually signed an agreement with the local town government and contracted hundreds of acres of land to carry out comprehensive intelligent agricultural construction.
The output here is not necessarily very high, but the labor cost and time cost must be kept to a minimum, so that it can be used as a template to sell to the outside world in the future.
As soon as Luo Han, the person in charge of the base, walked into the base with Lin Ju, a black shadow passed overhead accompanied by a buzzing sound.
"Ah, it's a Harrier drone."
Lin Ju looked up and saw an eight-axis propeller drone, with a large plastic bucket hanging underneath it.
Luo Han: "Every day we plan the time and amount of pesticides to be sprayed according to the weather conditions and air humidity, which is completely done automatically by the computer, and the drone will spray according to the plan as long as the pesticide is diluted according to the prompts. β
Lin Ju: "Why not achieve full automation?" β
Rohan: "It's too expensive, and it only takes a little time for one person to do it, but it's actually very easy." β
While walking, Rohan continued to introduce:
"We have installed 120 precise positioning measurement points in this 1,000 acres of area, and the automatic identification of ground base stations, satellites and software can accurately divide the working area, and the work route is also planned according to this information, and the manual only needs to intervene when the machine is difficult to identify.
There are only 4 people in the Qingyang base now, but in fact, as long as there is no problem with the machine, we only need to watch the monitoring in the air-conditioned room, and we can complete all the planting processes, such as you look there. β
Following the direction of Rohan, Lin Ju crossed the cornfield and saw a large golden patch.
It was early rice, and the full ears were at the tip of the rice, and they were large and firm, and it was a good harvest at first glance.
"How many acres of rice have you planted? How many catties can be produced? β
Lin Ju's hand brushed over the rice grains, and he could feel the joy of these crops.
Luo Han: "According to the infrared remote sensing data of the satellite, this year's insect pests and rainy weather impressions have been well controlled by various means, coupled with the precise use of a large number of chemical fertilizers, with the rice seeds we use, we can achieve a yield of 1,600 catties per mu, that is, 800 kilograms."
The total planting area is 300 acres, that is, 20 hectares, boss, guess how long it will take for us to harvest these 20 hectares? We only have one rice harvester. β
Lin Ju: "Only one?" It's only 5 or 6 acres of land in an hour, about 50 hours? β
Luo Han: "Yes, we only have one rice harvester, but it is completely sufficient, the automation allows it to harvest 24 hours a day, day and night, there is no difference between day and night under the infrared camera, it only takes 48 hours to harvest;
The truck following the harvester is also fully automatic, regularly returning to the factory to dump to the automatic production line for threshing work, the chaff is beaten into feed, and the rice machine is screened and bagged, and it can be wholesaled directly, but we will not sell these crops. β
Lin Ju thought about it and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.
"That's a real misfortune."
Luo Han heard a mutter, but did not react, and Lin Ju did not explain.
If it had been a little later, I might have been able to eat home-grown food.
"Toot!"
A loud whistle made the two of them excited, only to find that a strange-shaped pickup truck had been parked behind them at some point, with many devices installed in the front and rear of the car, and a rotating lidar overhead.
Its cargo bed contains an extra-long mechanical part that appears to be used for agricultural machinery.
Lin Ju looked at the cab...... Empty.
Luo Han first stepped back with Lin Ju and made way for the pickup, which flashed its high beams and drove silently next to them.
"Uh...... I'm sorry boss, the cutter head of the corn harvester has to be replaced, this car is something we have nothing to modify, it is all used in the inventory of spare parts, and it is usually run in the base, today...... Well, in fact, there are not many people running on the side roads, and there are very few foreign vehicles on the roads around the base. β
Lin Ju roughly understood what he meant, it must be that the base used the intelligent driving system of agricultural machinery to complete a pickup truck that can drive automatically, and this pickup truck seems to be changed from a car, and even the driving mode has become electricity.
And looking at Rohan's attitude, it's obviously not the first time he's done this.
Never mind...... Small things, it can only be said that the engineers have a strong ability to innovate.
Boss Luo was relieved not to pursue it, and continued to talk about the results of the base:
"Now we have a total of 8 machines of all kinds, which is the minimum requirement for managing these 1,000 acres of land and 6 crops, and most of them are generalized and can ensure that all of them are harvested in the best harvest time.
In fact, the larger the farm, the less machinery is needed per acre, but even now, we even use airplanes, which are already less expensive than farms that use traditional mechanized planting and harvesting, and are particularly efficient. β
"Has it been promoted to the north?"
Hearing Lin Ju's question, Luo Han, who was still very excited, froze and sighed.
This set of intelligent agricultural machinery system is for the preparation of large-scale plain farming, aiming at the market is naturally the north, and the southern hilly areas and paddy fields are not conducive to mechanized farming.
It's not bad that the core of Shuchuan has a little plain, and it can give them some area for experiments.
"Not so good, North...... The geography is really suitable, but they don't want to buy this system, you know the boss, a lot of the big farms are state-run. β
Lin Ju understands that the biggest advantage of smart agricultural machinery is the cutting personnel, and private farmers must be happy, and it is difficult to say that the state-owned enterprises are not available.
"But it's okay, there are a lot of private farms now, the market is still very large, if you can export, in fact, the prospects are the best."
Outlet?
The most suitable place is either Aramco or Da Mao Ermao, but it is very difficult to install a large number of base stations and networked control machinery on your own land that can connect to other countries' satellites.
