Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 304 As long as the horsepower is high, you are not afraid of anything

Spring is like a little baby's face, it changes at will.

It was raining heavily just now, but now it has stopped raining and the sky has cleared up.

The big sun is shining down on the earth again.

Dongfanghong dragged the seeder back to the field.

"No, it's stuck. We have to wait until the ground is dry."

The driver stepped on the muddy chain track and jumped out of the car.

Erhong ran to the seeder.

At first glance, I saw that the disc under the seeder was stuck in mud.

Several operators also jumped off the planter, shaking water beads from their hair.

They didn't complain, but took out a meter-long crowbar from the cab and got under the seeder to dig out the mud.

Lu Changhua also had a headache.

Now this situation can only wait.

If it doesn't rain in the afternoon and the wind blows for a few hours, a lot of water will evaporate, and sowing may be possible in the middle of the night.

It can't be done, only tomorrow.

But if it continues to rain, you may have to wait for several days. Farming time waits for no one.

"Let's go back first and do it again in the afternoon."

Everyone saw that the boss had spoken and arranged the current seeds and fertilizers.

Everyone went to the duty room of the reservoir.

But the planter operator and vehicle commander cannot leave.

They need to repair the planter.

Now, they stopped complaining.

Not only do you need to clean out the seeds and fertilizers from the sowing box and put them in a bag, but you also need to keep them away from water, otherwise the fertilizer will melt and the bag of seeds cannot be used.

Lu Changhua returned to the reservoir, scraped off the mud on his shoes, and then walked into the duty room.

It rained just now, and the employees of the reservoir huddled in the duty room to take shelter from the rain.

Now that the rain has stopped, people are going out one after another. Those who need to feed the fish and those who need to patrol are all busy.

Lu Changhua said hello to Dahong's wife and sat on the edge of the Kang.

People who were busy planting seeds came in one after another.

Erhong was also worried about the weather.

Mechanized operations require appropriate weather conditions.

Sowing cannot be done on rainy days.

The duty room soon filled with smoke.

Most of the old men were old smokers, but fortunately, people now smoke and roll.Like a few old men in the vegetable garden, they don't like cigarettes, but they like to smoke old dry cigarettes, Northeast Toad Tou.

The smell is unacceptable to most smokers, it's too exciting.

The room was too choked, and Lu Changhua couldn't stop these people from smoking, so he had to go out to get some air.

He took a few deep breaths of the fresh outdoor air before he felt alive.

Didi, Didi~
Several car horns startled him.

Turning around, I saw a flatbed truck driving to the roadside of the duty room.

A brand new wheeled tractor was parked on top of the truck.

Didi, Didi~
Another horn sound came from behind, and Lu Changhua hurriedly ran out of the yard.

Another truck pulled up behind, still with a wheeled tractor on it.

Lu Changhua immediately thought that this might be a prototype sent by Beining.

Several people jumped out of the car cab.

It was Sergey and the others.

Sergey happily walked up to Lu Changhua, held the boss's hand, and said with a smile: "Boss, are we not late?"

He glanced back at the tractor in the car.

"This is our new product."

"It looks good."

Lu Changhua praised.

Sergey was praised and immediately had the tractor unloaded.

At this moment, Erhong and the others heard the noise and ran out.

Looking at the brand new tractor, he looked excited.

"100 horsepower, four-wheel drive."

Sergey introduced with excitement.

“And it’s easy to drive.”

"Boss, do you want to try first?"

Sergey asked, pointing to the tractor that had just come off the car.

"Okay, I'll try."

Lu Changhua came to the tractor.

This car is very tall, with a roof height of nearly three and a half meters.The pedal ladder below is sixty centimeters above the ground.

Lu Changhua grabbed the handrail next to the car door before stepping onto the ladder. He worked hard with both hands before standing up.

Climbed three stairs and opened the car door.

He entered the cab.

The cab is tall and spacious.

The car had just started, and he first observed the driving control part.

I discovered that this car has a footbrake pedal.

He first depressed the clutch pedal with his left foot, shifted into first gear, and gently lifted the clutch. When the car tended to move forward, he depressed the brake pedal with his right foot, and then stepped on the accelerator pedal.

The tractor roared forward.

Lu Changhua controlled the direction, bypassed the car in front, and rushed towards the reservoir dam.

Depress the clutch to shift gears and increase vehicle speed.

Shifted from first gear to fifth gear.

The speed of the vehicle has increased, but the speed is limited.

Lu Changhua glanced at the area near the gear handle again.It turns out there is a speed lever here.

He stepped on the clutch and pushed the speed lever to the fast side.

The car sped forward suddenly.

The speed of the car has obviously increased a lot.

Lu Changhua drove the tractor in the direction of the seeder.

Soon he arrived in front of Dongfanghong.He stopped the car, leaned out and shouted, "What's going on? Still can't get off the ground?"

The commander shook his head.

"A new car?"

The commander's eyes sparkled.

"New car."

Lu Changhua jumped out of the car.

The spring breeze blew and he shivered.

The end of April and the beginning of May is the time when cold and heat alternate. In some places, the snow has not completely melted, and the spring rain has arrived. This is also the time when you are most likely to get sick.

Lu Changhua trembled and walked into the field, grabbed a handful of soil, squeezed it hard, and black muddy water flowed out.

The icy cold made the palms feel a little numb.

It looks like it will last at least one night.

Lu Changhua threw the mud in his hand on the ground, shook the muddy water, went to the edge of the ground, grabbed a handful of weeds, wiped his hands, and then said to the driver: "Go home and rest after you are done, and we will work again tomorrow."

"Hey."

The commander looked at the sky, walked to the seeder, and conveyed the boss's message.

There was a cheer from over there.

No one wants to work in mud and water. Now their clothes and pants are all wet, and they are shivering when the wind blows. What a misfortune!

Lu Changhua turned around and saw that the model number of Changhe-100 was printed on the car body.

He climbed into the cab and closed the door.

The spring chill was kept out of the car.

He made a U-turn with his car and crashed onto the reservoir dam again.

Half of the ice and snow in the reservoir has melted. The wind blows in the water, making it sparkle, but the unmelted ice and snow are still glowing in the sun.

Lu Changhua parked the car next to the duty room.

Get out of the car and greet Sergey and others who are still waiting by the roadside, and then enter the duty room to drink a glass of water and take a rest.

I told Erhong again that everyone should go home and come back tomorrow to continue sowing.

In the duty room.

Sergey drank boiling water and said: "Boss, originally we were going to send technicians to track the vehicle. But..."

He shrugged awkwardly and said: "The distance is a bit far, so we decided to do the experiment at Qinghua Farm, which is much closer."

Lu Changhua thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, we can arrange it according to your convenience."

"You can use these two vehicles first. If there is any problem, we will send someone to solve it immediately."

"Okay, it's good to have Lao Xie Qian's words."

Lu Changhua didn't want to put too much pressure on the people below.

There is really no need for them to come here to do experiments.

Qinghua Farm is on the edge of Bac Ninh, more than 50 kilometers further than here.

Sergey and the truck driver had a meal of reservoir stew in the duty room.

"Er Hong, I leave this tractor for you to use. Let's use it for planting tomorrow."

"I'll take the other one to Beishan. This car is a four-wheel drive, so it should be good for mountain climbing."

"When you've finished sowing here, bring someone up to Beishan to find me. We're going to plant trees."

"Good, good, good..."

After sending Sergey away, Lu Changhua took Erhong with him and taught him how to drive on the spot in the car.

Driving a tractor on a Northeast farm requires a driver's license in principle, but not many people have a license.

As long as the agricultural tractor can be driven, no one cares about whether it has a license.

The next day, a huge roar came from Lot [-].

Changhe 100 tractor replaced Dongfanghong, dragging three seeders and running in the field.

The tractor was not only fast, but also powerful. It pushed open the semi-dry soil and spread seeds and fertilizers.

The back is automatically covered with soil.

Erhong and Lu Changhua dug out the seeds in the ridge where they were sown and measured the depth.

"No, it's a bit deep. Let's make it shallower."

Adjustment as you go is the norm in agricultural operations.

With Changhe 100, the operating efficiency has been greatly improved.

Lu Changhua felt much better looking at the tractors running back and forth in the fields.

In this way, the farming season can be regained.

It is said that food in the Northeast is sown on ice and harvested in water.

It's true.

Lu Changhua dug a few times on the bean ridge. The top was floating soil, which was very soft, while the bottom was still frozen soil, which was hard.

When spring wheat is planted, it will start earlier, around NO.15 in April.At that time, the maximum sowing depth of the seeder was seven or eight centimeters, and sometimes it could not reach five centimeters.

Many times, the seeds are exposed when blown by the wind.

Fortunately, soybeans were sown after sowing wheat, on April 27th and [-]th.

At this time, the temperature has risen a lot and the permafrost has melted a little.

If the spring wind is strong, the seeds should be sown deeper to prevent the wind from blowing away the floating soil and exposing the seeds.

But this thing is not something you can get deep into just because you want to.

The second flood notifies the seeder to adjust the depth.

Not too deep either.

One is that the deeper you go, the closer you are to the permafrost layer, and the soil temperature is low, which affects seed germination.

The second one is that after the seeds germinate, because the soil above them is too thick, it is difficult for them to pop out, which also affects the development of the germs.

Therefore, farming is a knowledge and a science.It is not what everyone imagines, but it will grow if you sow the seeds.

On plot No. [-], with everyone racing against time, the sowing was finally completed.

The Changhe 100 tractor contributed a lot.

Everyone was impressed by this wheeled tractor.

On Black Province farms, the tractors that used to work in the fields were crawler-type.

The main reason is the weather and field conditions in the Northeast. Only crawler tractors can complete farming operations.

Wheeled tractors can only be used for transportation.

The main reason is still the horsepower issue.

It rains heavily in the Northeast and the fields are muddy, so wheeled tractors cannot exert power.

This concept is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even in the 90s, many people bought crawler tractors, while wheeled tractors were still only used for transportation.

However, the performance of Changhe 100 tractor changed everyone's stereotype. It turns out that wheeled tractors can also enter the field work!
As long as the horsepower is high, you have nothing to fear!
