Future Technology Powerhouse

As soon as Zhang Zhi returned to the company, Wei Yiyao sent him a message. The seeds of water beans have been cultivated in sufficient quantity. The entire Bohai Sea can be planted.

This is the quantity required by Zhang Zhi. The time for water beans to mature is very short, and they are harvested every two months on average. Stock up on more seeds.

He knew that according to the plan, tomorrow is the start of the company's water bean trial planting. They will officially open the prelude to artificial seed planting.

Wei Yiyao, Sun Qian and the others did not go to Huaxia University today. It can be said that Li Lingqiu, a researcher of the company, has a special status and went to Huaxia University with him.

When Li Lingqiu heard the news, she happily dragged Zhang Zhi to the plant cultivation room.

Zhang Zhi and Li Lingqiu came to the plant cultivation room on the fourth floor.

After they came in, Wei Yiyao greeted them happily.

She said happily: Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li. The cultivation of our water bean seeds and water soybean seeds has been completed. The seed company in Jinmen has enough seeds in reserve.

Zhang Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and asked, Manager Wei, besides Jinmen, where else will we start planting water beans tomorrow?

Wei Yiyao said excitedly: We have negotiated with the country. In the two inland lakes of Dongting Lake and Qinghai Lake, and the two sea areas of Bohai Sea and Qiongzhou Offshore, we will carry out large-scale trial planting of water beans and water soybeans together.

Seeing Zhang Zhi's puzzled eyes, Wei Yiyao explained: This is an experimental planting. These four areas are simulated in the laboratory. They can all thrive, but I don't know what will happen if we plant in a large area. Influence.

The main thing is to verify their impact on the environment, and the impact of the environment on them.

While Wei Yiyao was talking, he invited Zhang Zhi and Li Lingqiu into the plant cultivation room.

Zhang Zhi understands that this is mainly because Wei Yiyao showed it to her. Li Lingqiu is in charge of developing the water beans, and she knows the properties of the water beans better than anyone else.

He entered the plant cultivation room of water beans and water soybeans.

Zhang Zhi saw that the cultivation tank for water beans was on the left, and the cultivation tank for water soybeans was on the right.

Zhang Zhi came to the water bean plants and looked at them.

There are more than a dozen water beans placed in front of him, and they are placed in order from the state of seed germination to the state of ripe fruit.

The appearance of water beans is very different from that of potato plants. The rhizomes of water beans are very long, about two meters long, and they are very strong and flexible. The leaves are as big as those of a coconut.

Its root system has many colorful little bumps. Zhang Zhi knew that these were all kinds of rhizobia bacteria that lived in symbiosis with water beans, and they provided all the trace elements for the growth of water beans.

Zhang Zhi turned around and looked at Shui Dou, it was very similar in appearance to Shui Dou.

It's just that the fruit of the water bean grows in a hard shell near the root, like a peanut. The fruit of the water soybean is in pods that grow on the underside of the leaves.

Zhang Zhi found that Shuidou was very different from the first time he saw it, so he asked Li Lingqiu about it.

Lingqiu, water beans have changed a lot. They used to be planted as tubers, just like potatoes. The water beans do not have shells in the water. The stems and leaves are not so big.

Li Lingqiu smiled and said, Brother Zhang, this is the best variety we have optimized after tens of thousands of experiments.

Water beans are planted with tubers, which is not conducive to preservation and confidentiality. The mature tubers in the past are easy to rot in water. I changed them into seed plants. The stems and leaves are so large that they can absorb enough sunlight and carbon dioxide to mature quickly.

Wei Yiyao also interjected: The stems of water beans are very tough, and they can withstand big waves and tropical storms. If there is a typhoon, this period will be white.

Zhang Zhi asked the question he was most concerned about.

How about the yield of water beans and water soybeans? I know that their maturity period is longer than I thought, and it will take two months.

Of course he remembered that Shui Dou's original intention was to solve the possible food crisis in China.

Li Lingqiu said with a smile: Brother Zhang, you have eaten water beans that have been planted for a month. It was the second day after you took the dough robot.

When Zhang Zhi heard Li Lingqiu's words, he immediately remembered that Li Lingqiu made him a big meal of water beans that day, which was worse than cheap dog food.

As for why Zhang Zhi knew it was worse than dog food, this is a difficult memory.

Zhang Zhi immediately understood what Li Lingqiu meant, the water beans were for people to eat, not for fodder. Be sure to consider the taste, for example, the current water beans are very delicious.

Wei Yiyao didn't understand the riddle between them. She explained to Zhang Zhi: Mr. Zhang, the ideal yield per mu of water beans is 80 tons. Usually it is between 70 and 75 tons. The yield of water soybeans is about 50 tons per mu. .”

Their production is related to light intensity, light duration, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration.

Zhang Zhi was very happy when he heard this output. This perfectly achieved his original intention.

The yield of 80 tons per mu is 160,000 catties per mu. What a terrible yield. Simply beyond people's imagination.

Zhang Zhi then asked: If such a heavy plant is placed in the sea, it will sink to the bottom.

Haha. Li Lingqiu couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhang Zhi's words.

Seeing this situation, Wei Yiyao tactfully did not speak.

When Zhang Zhi heard Li Lingqiu's laughter, he was a little puzzled, it was a completely normal question.

Li Lingqiu laughed for a while, and she explained to Zhang Zhi: Do you think this kind of plants can survive in nature on their own?

This is a completely artificial plant, of course it has its way of growing.

Li Lingqiu waved her hand, and an image of an ocean immediately appeared in front of her.

Above the sea is a three-dimensional grid made of polymer materials, and water beans are planted in the grid.

Zhang Zhi recognized this material, which was the super-buoyancy material he exchanged for two yuan from the science and technology library.

It is strong enough to bear the weight of water beans, Zhang Zhi just didn't think it was used here.

Zhang Zhi smiled and asked Li Lingqiu about the encryption method of Shuidou and Shuudou.

Li Lingqiu explained to him that the water beans are genetically encrypted.

Xingyu Technology keeps its own seeds and uses special methods to reproduce the seeds of water beans.

For the sold seeds, they will add various rhizobia to the seeds in advance. Others steal the seeds of planting companies and simply cannot survive.

After the rhizobia is added to the seeds, the gene lock is added at the same time.

Others want to get mature seeds and grow their own.

The plantings they get won't germinate at all. The safety of seeds can be guaranteed completely.

When Zhang Zhi heard what Li Lingqiu said, he couldn't stop nodding. The company encrypted the seeds with multiple layers. Xingyu Technology fully guarantees the ownership of the seeds.

He asked Wei Yiyao: Manager Wei, if we want to plant seeds, we will definitely need a lot of labor. Why don't I see any sign of the company recruiting a lot of people?

Mr. Zhang, who still employs humans now? We all use robots. Manager Yan Jiliang has already made an agricultural robot in the water. He can integrate planting and harvesting operations. There is no need for humans to control it, and Xinglan can handle all the work.

Wei Yiyao continued: Mr. Zhang, we are going to plant water beans tomorrow. The place has been prepared in advance. The video released by Mr. Li just now is the planting field we reserved. Are you going?

Zhang Zhi immediately said: I will definitely go, this is a historic moment, we will not be absent.

After he and Li Lingqiu visited, they went back to eat. Today is the water bean feast. After another two months, water beans can be eaten all over the country.
