Super Dimension Technology Era

Academy of Sciences, Shonan Hybrid Rice Research Center.

At this time, thousands of miles of snow had fallen across the north and south of the river.

Thousands of acres of bare rice experimental fields, with only some dead branches and leaves, and the occasional residual snow, the snow in the South is so fragile.

At this time, Huang Mingzhe was inside the research center. He and an old man were visiting the greenhouse cultivation base.

The old man's hands are not only covered with ravines, but his face is also full of the erosion of time. Only his eyes are bright and clear. Eighty-five years of vicissitudes in the world have washed away the beauty of his innocent heart.

The old man waved his hand and signaled the assistants on his left and right to leave. Apparently he had something to say to Huang Mingzhe.

Huang Mingzhe also signaled Zhang Shihe to take people far away, and soon there were only two people left within a hundred meters. The old man said with a solemn expression: "Mingzhe, your idea of ​​engaging in indoor farming is very good, but the reality may not allow it."

"Mr. Yuan should be worried about farmers' problems!" Huang Mingzhe understands that there is a contradiction between indoor agriculture and the country's huge agricultural population.

Mr. Yuan nodded and sighed: "If the farmers' problem is not solved, the agricultural factory you envision will be difficult. The domestic agricultural problem is huge now, and it will get worse in the future. It is difficult! And it is a dilemma!"

Mr. Yuan has been engaged in agriculture all his life, and he can easily see the nature of domestic agricultural problems. It can be seen that the situation is serious and the interests involved are complicated.

The current problem is mainly that there is a large population but limited arable land, and water resources are even scarce.

Moreover, the current domestic food supply is based on overuse of land and large amounts of imported foreign grains.

If one day the land becomes unable to grow crops due to excessive application of chemical fertilizers and excessive cultivation, or if foreign countries stop selling grain, domestic food problems will face huge challenges.

Why is it deteriorating? Why do farmers stop farming? Very simple, tired and no money.

There is really no money to be made in farming, because the prices of labor, fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, agricultural machinery, fuel, etc. are all going to rise, but food prices are not allowed to rise.

If costs rise unilaterally and sales remain unchanged, profits will naturally fall.

Are food prices allowed to rise? Food is indeed very cheap now, and it seems that doubling the price is not a problem, but this idea lacks comprehensive consideration.

In any country, the price of food is the basis of the hundred-price price. It will have an amplifying effect on all other prices. If the price of food doubles, the price of various types of labor may increase several times.

Because all laborers need to eat, and the products and services we currently use embody the labor force of countless people. In other words, our current prices for various commodities include the cost of food rations for countless people.

As the cost of this ration goes up, prices will increase at each production and distribution link, and ultimately the final consumer will pay the bill.

What changes will such a large-scale and substantial price increase cause? Mainly, it will have a great impact on the current urban economy.

Today's urban economy is mainly developed with debt, and all walks of life are trying to find ways to dig out the deposits of ordinary people.

If ordinary people have very little savings left in their hands and basic daily necessities have greatly increased in price, and they have to choose between paying off debts and eating, people will still choose to eat.

As a result, debts cannot be repaid and become bad debts, triggering a crisis for banks and other financial institutions. This is the so-called systemic financial risk.

At the same time, those capitalists are enjoying low-cost labor and have concocted many theories to prove that domestic development must keep wages down.

At this time, the price of daily necessities is rising, forcing labor wages to rise. Aren't the capitalists going to cause trouble? Therefore, there is great resistance. Although the capitalists do not say it, in their hearts they really want the farmers to work without getting paid.

Farmers are not fools. Who will do the work without getting paid, and the capitalists are unwilling to make concessions, so farmers can only stop farming through non-violence and non-cooperation.

As for state subsidies, they are a drop in the bucket. And asking those capitalists to provide subsidies is even more impossible.

Huang Mingzhe looked at the rows of seedling trays being prepared to raise seedlings, as if seeing through the essence of things: "Everything is backward productivity."

How could Mr. Yuan not know that it is a problem of productivity, and there is also the current entanglement of interests of all parties. He is engaged in hybrid rice, and there is nothing he can do about social problems.

Both of them were preoccupied and discussed issues while touring the base.

Obviously, this time the G organization is trying to hit the snake seven inches deep, directly attacking the weakness of China. People may not use mobile phones and computers, and they may not buy cars or houses, but they cannot live without food.

Once any country has food problems, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, ranging from economic recession to social unrest, and may even lead to complete collapse.

The painful lessons of history tell us that when there is not enough to eat, it is often the time to take desperate risks.

In January 2015, international grain prices continued to rise, and major grain exporting countries reduced the scale of grain exports and raised export grain prices.

Various monsters and monsters are also trying to grab grain. The price of grain futures in the international financial market has risen by 50 to 70% in less than a week.

And Huang Mingzhe has already been prepared. Since you continue to increase grain prices, I will harvest grain futures and use the funds obtained from futures to make up for it.

China Grain Reserves urgently checked the grain stocks in various storage warehouses to ensure the safety of these grain warehouses, and continued to increase the inventory.

At the same time, propaganda is also being carried out on TV stations and on the Internet, asking the public not to waste food and food, and encouraging meal packaging, saving water, etc.

A multi-pronged approach is taken to ensure domestic food security.

…

During three days at the Xiangnan Hybrid Rice Research Center, Huang Mingzhe and Mr. Yuan discussed many issues and realized the severe situation of domestic food and agriculture.

In Huang Mingzhe's view, domestic agriculture must undergo structural adjustments while ensuring the stability and income of farmers.

In terms of food production, the agricultural factory model should be promoted and part of the agricultural population transformed into agricultural workers.

On the other hand, it is necessary to expand the production of fruits, vegetables, and agricultural and sideline products, so that some farmers will switch to this side.

Finally, there are still some problems, namely technical issues, transportation and preservation of agricultural products, and circulation and waiting for sales.

During this period, he discussed these matters with other palace masters of Netherworld Palace in Nanke Dream World, and also asked the Social Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences to redesign the agricultural model and make plans for the next transformation.

The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering have a dedicated virtual city in the Nanke Dream World - City of Truth.

Huang Mingzhe came to the Social Research Institute in Truth City. It was midnight, but the lights inside the Social Research Institute were still bright.

"Mr. Huang, we have preliminary discussed a series of plans." said Wang Yadong, director of the Institute of Social Research.

On his side were Lin Hai, the dean of the Agricultural Research Institute, and others.

"Let's discuss it at the meeting. Let's seize the time." Huang Mingzhe said as he walked.

A moment later, hundreds of researchers appeared in the conference hall, including more than 70 people from the Institute of Social Sciences and more than 30 people from the Institute of Agriculture. These were the elites of the two institutes.

They have to be cautious about this discussion because agricultural issues are very important and one mistake can cause thousands of farmers to be harmed.

Huang Mingzhe sat upright, looked around at everyone, and then said: "The meeting has officially begun, everyone can speak freely."

However, these researchers did not speak hurriedly immediately, but started discussing in a low voice.
