Chapter 169, Shocking Space Agriculture
On December 2020, 12, at the Space Center of Fuyun Group, Longling Town, Sanjiang District, Meijiang City, Tang Yunshan, the person in charge of Huaxia’s space field, led a huge inspection team here, including a team of top scientists from the Space Agriculture Research Institute, and Huaxia who received the news The leader of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nongjia Mo, also brought a delegation of more than ten people, and at the same time, there were even larger famous private entrepreneurs invited by Tang Yunshan.

Among them are Lao Wang, a real estate tycoon who was ambitious and always wanted to enter the space industry, Ma Ge, a big boss in the virtual world industry, Zhang Xianzu, the "future star" who is now earning a lot of money by traveling on the moon, and Huaxia Food Group. Lei Dapeng, the person in charge, and a large team of more than 50 people.

Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, two huge "Hercules" aerospace planes dragged their long tail flames and rushed into space. And so on, almost a team of more than 200 people, for the sake of safety, it was divided into 2 aerospace planes.

When the time comes to visit the space agriculture, it will be divided into several parts, which will be received by Li Fu, Gu Feng, Luo Xiaoyao and others, and they will be shown around the space farm.

Taking an aerospace plane to space is no stranger to these people. For example, Tang Yunshan, the person in charge of the space field, has even been to the moon several times, except for a few who are a little nervous in space for the first time , everyone else seemed very relaxed.

The aerospace plane slowly approached the space farmland of Fuyun Group. At this time, the scale of the space farmland was already quite large. As the space plane approached slowly, the field of view continued to zoom in until the entire field of view was covered by the space field. Occupied, everything in sight is a world full of greenery.

"Xiao Li, how big is your space farm now? How much is the investment?"

Nong Jiamo, the person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, looked at the farmland in space, looking a little surprised, and said to Li Fu who was beside him.

"The current area is about 25 square meters, divided into 25 space farmlands, and hundreds of kinds of crops are planted. The initial investment is not too big, and the cost is about 50 billion Chinese dollars."

Li Fu replied with a smile.

"50 billion Chinese dollars? It's really not too big."

Pharaoh, Lao Mage, Zhang Xianzu and other wealthy people on the side also nodded. With such a huge space farmland in space, the investment is only 50 billion Chinese dollars, which is really not much. It is more than what they originally estimated in their hearts. much lower.

Soon, the aerospace plane slowly parked at the port area that comes with the space farmland. Under the leadership of Li Fu, the people in space suits drifted slowly, and began to enter the space capsules of the space farmland to visit the space farmland. .

"Please see, this is one of the earliest space farmlands we built. This space farmland mainly grows watermelons."

Here in a space capsule, through the thick tempered glass, Li Fu pointed to the green and fruitful space farmland and began to introduce Tang Yunshan, Nongjiamo, Lao Wang, Lao Mage, Zhang Xianzu and dozens of people behind him. .

Everyone looked at the space farmland one by one, and saw that the entire space farmland was full of green watermelon vines, and the huge watermelons could vaguely reveal themselves. Even people who don't understand agriculture at all It can also be seen that the watermelon yield in this space farmland is quite high.

"Can we go in and have a look?"

Looking at the scene in the space farmland, Nongjia Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then asked Li Fu.

"of course can."

Li Fu nodded, and then entered instructions in the control computer next to him, and soon the hatch was opened.

Farmer Mo's hand gently pushed, and the whole person slowly floated into the space farmland, and Tang Yunshan, Lao Wang and others also floated into the space farmland one by one.

Entering the space farmland, the whole person seems to be in a green ocean world. No matter which direction you look at, there are green watermelon vines. At the same time, because you are in it, you can see it more intuitively. The appearance of the entire space farmland.

The distance between the watermelon vines from the root position is very regular. The vines have no guidance at all. They are only affected by microgravity in space. The watermelon vines spread everywhere, and the huge watermelons Just like that quietly suspended in the void, some are very naughty hiding under the leaves of the watermelon vines.

"Boom, boom!"

Nongjia Mo kept knocking on each watermelon, obviously checking the ripeness of the watermelon, and at the same time silently counting the number of watermelons on a vine.

"One watermelon vine can actually produce 15-20 large watermelons, and these watermelons are very well-proportioned, and it seems that they are generally more than 10 kilograms."

As the person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nongjia Mo knows a little bit about agricultural matters. Generally, it is quite normal for a watermelon vine to produce 3-5 watermelons, and 10 watermelons are considered rare. , but in the huge farmland in front of him, the number of watermelons on each watermelon vine is between 15 and 20, and these watermelons are very well-proportioned, so he couldn't help but exclaim.

"In space, because it is only affected by microgravity, plus there is plenty of sunlight, and there is no influence of diseases and insect pests, combined with scientific planting and management methods, the output of watermelons can generally reach ten times that of watermelons on the ground. , and in space, without being affected by the seasons, agricultural production can be carried out all year round, and if calculated in this way, the output can actually be doubled."

"Not only is the yield much higher than that of the ground, but the quality will also be several grades higher. There is no influence of diseases and insect pests, so there is no need to apply pesticides at all. Reasonably adjust the temperature and light, and the sweetness of watermelon is also quite high. .”

Li Fu smiled and introduced the advantages of developing agriculture in space to everyone.

"Dozens of times the output, high-quality agricultural products."

Everyone couldn't help grasping the key words in their minds.

"If the output is dozens of times that of the ground, and high-quality agricultural products can be produced, there is a lot of profit margin. The area of ​​this space field is tens of thousands of square meters, plus the three-dimensional layout, in fact Calculated, its area can be increased ten times, and if calculated in this way, the output is really amazing!"

"The entire space farmland can be planted with almost 10 watermelon vines. Each watermelon vine is considered to be 15 watermelons, and each watermelon is 10 kilograms. In this way, there can be almost 1500 million kilograms, and each kilogram is worth 1 yuan. Let’s just say that one time can produce an output value of 1500 million yuan, counting 120 days for one period, and three periods of planting in a year, that is to say, an output value of 4500 million yuan!”

"Li Fu said that his entire 25-square-meter space farmland was invested in almost 50 billion Chinese dollars, which means that the investment of a piece of space farmland is about 2 million Chinese dollars."

Everyone present couldn't help but start to calculate in their minds. Looking at the layers of watermelon vines around them, they couldn't help but widen their eyes just by calculating casually.

"Even with the lowest data, there is still a lot to do! As far as the quality of this watermelon is concerned, it can definitely be sold as the top watermelon, and the profits here are really huge."

Old Ma couldn't help crying out.

The other people present could not help but nod their heads. They all have virtual machines, and they can easily calculate the output of this space farmland with a calculator, and then search for the market price of watermelons. The output value of this space farmland can be obtained.

Combined with the investment that Li Fu said at the beginning, the ratio of output and investment came out at once, and everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes and their hearts moved.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that space agriculture has such a great prospect. I used to think that any investment in space was a loss in metaphysics. Now it seems that everything still needs to be based on data."

Nongjia Mo also nodded along with him, and let out a long sigh.

"In fact, as China's space technology becomes more and more advanced, the cost of this space farmland can still be continuously reduced. In space, there is unlimited space and unlimited sunlight. These are advantages that ground agriculture does not have. "

Tang Yunshan also nodded in satisfaction. The purpose of bringing everyone here this time is very clear, that is, to guide everyone to space agriculture. Now that everyone has seen the broad prospects of space agriculture, Tang Yunshan can see that those who followed Everyone is already moved.

After visiting the watermelon space farmland area, everyone soon came to the rice planting area.

Entering the space farmland of rice, Nongjia Mo was shocked once again, because he saw that the rice had produced several ears of rice, and each ear of rice was covered with golden and full of grains. The farmland area is full of golden harvest scenes.

"Xiao Li, are these genetically modified rice? How can they produce several ears of rice?"

Farmer Mo is very concerned about rice, because rice is the main food crop, and it is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. full meal.

"It's not genetically modified rice, not even hybrid rice, but very ordinary rice, the rice that has been passed down from our ancestors."

"In fact, not only rice, but also crops such as wheat and sorghum have been sent to space. Because of the influence of microgravity, they can all produce multiple ears. In the case of rice, even the most common rice seeds, The yield per plant is also more than twice that of the highest yielding hybrid rice."
