I'm asking for VIP votes. It's not easy to write a book. Some people vote for a few.) "Radio station," Liu Tianling said a little dizzy. Isn't the radio station sending telegrams?

Qi Xun said: "Although it costs a lot to set up a radio station, its effectiveness is long-lasting. Not to mention that you can sell radios and place advertisements on the radio. If you don't make money back,"

"Oh, you are talking about a radio station. Doesn't that mean it also needs to be equipped with a radio? Each village has a radio box, which is high-power and needs to be equipped with a power supply. It is very useful, but the investment is also large," Liu Tianling said .

Duan Xuewen said with a smile: "This method is good, and the radio can convey a lot of news, and can explain all kinds of knowledge, agriculture, science, literature, etc. It is very convenient, and after these hardware facilities are completed, the later investment will be small. Yes, I think it’s feasible. You can plan first and do it slowly. Don’t be in a hurry.”

"Okay, then let's start the preparations. Let's add the radio station first. The band must be able to cover the entire Shandong and its surrounding areas. I am arranging to build a radio factory. Such an outdated thing can still be produced."

Duan Xuewen said: "Even if a radio station is built, most rural areas still have no way to listen to it, because the radio box requires electricity, and it cannot be solved with two batteries like a radio."

Qi Xun was speechless. He was only responsible for raising questions. How to solve these problems was not his responsibility.

Liu Tianling scratched his head: "Small gasoline generators are good, but they are such a waste of resources. Every village without electricity cannot afford a gasoline generator."

"Then, this method won't work," Qi Xun said disappointedly.

"If gasoline generators don't work, we can use wind turbines. Equipping a village with a two-kilowatt wind turbine is enough to not only ensure the power for broadcasting, but can even set up street lights," Liu Tianling came up with a good idea.

Duan Xuewen said: "Then let's give it a try. I will first arrange for people to start setting up a radio station, radios, radio boxes, and wind turbines. You will arrange the production. As for Lao Qi, you will start arranging some teachers to give lectures on the radio. Some basic knowledge, nothing complicated. In addition to life knowledge, you also need to pay attention to ethics and etiquette."

"Okay, let's start preparing."

Liu Tianling was also happy. As expected, it was a one-person solution. Qi Xun could even think of a way to conduct distance education through the radio. I really wondered if he had also traveled through time.

As the reorganization approaches, troop transfers become more and more frequent. New recruits are trained into veterans, and veterans are trained into officers. The navy and air force have also set up their own structures. Everything is developing in an intense and orderly manner.

In the next few days, Liu Tianling traveled between various factories. Referring to various achievements in the development of heavy industry, three types of vehicle cranes have been finalized, namely one-ton, three-ton and five-ton crane trucks. Although the weight is low Yes, but there has been development. Another 15-horsepower tractor has been developed. Although there is only a three-horsepower difference between 15-horsepower and 12-horsepower, the difference is very big. It can be seen in hauling heavy objects and plowing farmland. As for the diesel engines with higher horsepower, they are all low-speed. Diesel engines with 2300 horsepower can already be manufactured. These engines can only be used in ships and cannot be used to build cars.

There are also more than a dozen pharmaceutical factories in Lunan. Of course, most of them process Chinese patent medicines, such as ointments and pills. Most of them are ethnic entrepreneurs. The output of processing using electricity as power is still relatively high. Not bad, and the quality management is very strict, and drugs are always strictly managed.

The most profitable project is Liu Tianling's use of the red alert system to generate antibiotics for use by soldiers. These drugs are exported to the United States, Britain, and France to earn huge profits, but it is hard to say how long these huge profits will last. Don't look at it.

They keep saying that they want to protect patents, but once they think the profit of this drug is too high, they may copy it. Therefore, in the new year, Liu Tianling and Feng Chao will discuss and decide to increase the cultivation and development of the local market while maintaining and developing overseas markets.

.

As for Duan Xuewen, he did not have much involvement in industry. He was only responsible for the approval of some national capital factories, and his focus was always on agriculture.

In Zaozhuang Town, there is a very inconspicuous little place. There is a sign at the door, Pumpkin Promotion Research Center. It is particularly lively today. I cleaned everything inside and outside early in the morning. The webmaster

Ma Dagua stood at the door, somewhat nervous. The four assistants were all busy.

An assistant said: "That's it, all the places that need to be cleaned have been cleaned,"

Ma Dagua looked at it and said: "Okay, let's take a look at the materials to be prepared. Mr. Duan doesn't like to do anything to welcome you, but he is very pragmatic and can't do his job well."

"Don't worry, Stationmaster Ma, don't be so nervous. We have harvested 500 kilograms of pumpkin seeds. We can promote a lot next year, and we can also start cultivating our own pumpkin seeds in the experimental field," the assistant said.

Ma Dagua smiled: "You said I was nervous, see if you are still the same,"

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the sound of an off-road vehicle was heard at the door. Stationmaster Ma hurriedly led people out, and saw that Chief Duan and several assistants had entered the yard, and there were several people behind him carrying several large boxes.

Duan Xuewen said: "Old Ma, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. When I come over, I will bring you some seafood, a hundred catties of Spanish mackerel, you can share it among yourselves."

The draft that Ma Dagua made was not used at all. I didn’t expect that this paragraph would become like visiting relatives.

"Well, Mr. Duan, come in and talk. It's cold outside." Ma Dagua discarded the draft and received Duan Xuewen in his usual way.

The office of the Pumpkin Research Station is pretty good. There is a clay stove burning inside, which is warm, and the windows are brightly lit with glass.

"Lao Ma, I haven't been here for a few months. How are you doing? Is there any progress at work recently?" Duan Xuewen asked.

"It's going well. In the autumn, we purchased 300 kilograms of long pumpkin seeds. These long pumpkins are big, with an average weight of about ten kilograms. With good fertilizer and water conditions, each pumpkin can bear four to seven fruits, usually one plant.

It can bear three fruits, or at worst it can bear one. Long pumpkins are best suited for climbing walls and can be planted in front of or behind the house without too much space. Also, this kind of tender pumpkin has a good taste and can be used for cooking.

"Making steamed buns is very good," Webmaster Ma began to introduce.

"How about using this long pumpkin as food or as feed for livestock," Duan Xuewen asked.

"It's good for people to eat, but there is a better pumpkin for feed, which is another type of millstone pumpkin." As he said this, stationmaster Ma moved a large pumpkin from the room next to him, with red skin and a round millstone shape.

Everyone said: "Such a big pumpkin, I'm afraid it weighs more than forty pounds,"

Stationmaster Ma said: "Yes, the standard 45 pounds. This melon has a thick skin, high starch content, and an average taste. But it is very good as feed for pigs and can save a lot of food."

"Have you done any experiments? What is the most appropriate amount to feed? Are there any side effects?" Duan Xuewen asked.

Stationmaster Ma said: "This is what our village uses to raise pigs. My family used to grow pumpkins and raise pigs. Later, when I had some money, I went to school. This melon has no side effects unless the place where the pumpkins grow is poisonous. Generally, one-third of the total feed is sufficient. The biggest advantage of Mopan pumpkin is that it has thick skin and is durable. An ordinary pumpkin can last until the beginning of next spring. Of course, an ordinary pumpkin only weighs about ten pounds. This big melon is carefully managed. "Grown under the conditions of

The small farmer economy is like this. The yards in rural areas are relatively large, and there are many open spaces in front and behind the houses. They raise some chickens and ducks to lay eggs, raise some pigs, and sell meat. Generally, the piglets start in the spring and eat tender grass, rice bran and the like. In summer, it is grass, pumpkin, and a small amount of rice bran. In autumn, it is pumpkin and various grain by-products. By the time of the Chinese New Year, this pig can also grow to 200 pounds. Compared with pigs fed with feed, it grows too much. It's slow, but pork is delicious, natural, healthy and hormone-free. It is a very good natural green food.

"The seeds have been collected well, and we will promote them as soon as spring begins. Pumpkins will become a must-have crop for farmers. Come on, stationmaster Ma will take us to the village to see the effects of farmers using pumpkins to raise pigs," Duan Xuewen said.

Stationmaster Ma stood there motionless.

Stationmaster Ma said: "Well, what, Mr. Duan, let's forget it. I'll go back and do a detailed breeding experiment to test the growth performance of pigs eating pumpkins."

"I asked you to take me to see you. You are hesitant. Is there something you are hiding from me?" Duan Xuewen asked.

"No, no, no, our Zaozhuang town is not only famous for coal, but also famous for pumpkins. I guarantee this with my personality. The main reason is that the sanitary conditions of the pig pens in the countryside are not good and they have a smell," Stationmaster Ma said sheepishly explain.

"Oh, haha, it turns out it's because of this. Then you don't know me. I often go to various breeding farms. Agriculture is the foundation of the country. If agriculture is not stable, people will go hungry. Food alone is not enough, but also a little food. They are a bit carnivorous, otherwise what would happen if the people are too weak,"

Stationmaster Ma rubbed his hands and said, "Let's go, let me take you there. There is a lady Ma in her seventies in our village. She is very good at raising pigs. Let's go to her house and have a look."

As soon as we walked, Stationmaster Ma led the way, through the spacious street, and slowly came to the winding small streets. Going further in, there were no small streets anymore, only a very narrow dirt road. I walked along the winding dirt road. More than three miles away, there is a small village with dozens of households at the foot of the mountain. At the entrance of the village, there are old bare locust trees. Of course, in winter, how can they grow leaves?

More than a dozen chickens were pecking in the field, clucking and clucking.

"That thatched cottage is Madam Ma's house, that's the one," stationmaster Ma said while standing at the entrance of the village, pointing to the thatched cottage not far away.
