"Food is more expensive than meat?" Shen Ning and Zou Xiaodong both looked surprised. Wu Hao had been here before and knew about this, so he was not surprised.
Lin Jiaming nodded and said: "Yes, vegetables are more expensive than meat. Especially vegetables, fruits and the like, all of which are transported from the mainland. Moreover, vegetables and fruits are relatively delicate, unlike cold meat, which is very uncomfortable." Good shipping and preservation.
Although these vegetables and fruits themselves are not expensive, when you add in the cost of transportation and preservation, they become more expensive."
"Are there no vegetables locally? Can't we purchase them locally?" Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but ask.
"It is available locally!" Lin Jiaming said: "But because the climate is relatively arid, the vegetables here are drought-tolerant crops, with a relatively single variety and a small yield.
The scientific researchers at our base are basically all from the mainland, and many are from the south. We are not used to the climate, and if we are not used to the diet, we may not be able to last a few days.
We can't change the climate and region, but we can think of ways to change the diet.
That’s why it takes so much effort to transport fresh vegetables from the mainland. Although this will increase the logistics cost a lot, it is not worth mentioning compared to the value created by scientific researchers.”
Hearing Lin Jiaming's words, Wu Hao nodded in approval and said: "Yes, this is what I asked them to do. The environment here is relatively difficult, and what we can improve is actually very limited. So we must make every effort to let the employees here can have a better living and working environment.
When the food is ready, everyone will be in a good mood, which will make them more motivated to work, and the value created is far higher than this cost.
This is also my consistent insistence. This is true in the company, and we must treat everyone equally here. Even because of the difficult environment here, I request that the food here be better than that at our company headquarters. This is a kind of respect for the employees who live and work here. compensate.
This is the case with food, this is the case with life, and this is the case with changes in salary and benefits.”
"As you said, I want to come over and work." Shen Ning took a sip of cold drink and smiled.
Wu Hao looked at her and smiled and said: "Okay, I will transfer you over later. It just so happens that there is a lack of a general manager here.
I would be most at ease if you could be here."
"Uh, I'll just talk, just talk." After hearing Wu Hao's words, Shen Ning quickly said in a hurry. Even though she had been with Wu Hao for so long, she still couldn't figure out Wu Hao's temper. Although she was I'm joking, but who can guarantee that Wu Hao won't be serious and transfer her here later.
If that's the case, then she really has no tears left. Although she came to a prince, what's the difference between this and being sent to the frontier? How can she be more popular than the position of chairman's secretary?
Wu Hao and Lin Jiaming laughed immediately after hearing this, while Shen Ning blushed and changed the subject: "Then why don't you choose to grow vegetables in the base? This will not only reduce costs, but also make the base more productive." Employees can eat fresher vegetables."
Hehehehe...
Lin Jiaming smiled, then nodded and replied: "This is indeed a way, we have thought of it a long time ago. It's just that the first phase of the base construction has just been completed, and the second phase of construction is still under intense construction. The soilless cultivation technology
The vegetable factory has not yet been completed and put into use.
As for outdoor planting, this requires improving the soil, which is a relatively slow process. Secondly, our biologists are also needed to cultivate vegetable crops that are resistant to drought and salt-alkali."
Soilless cultivation technology is very mature. In fact, many of the vegetables used in big cities, such as lettuce, chrysanthemum, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., are produced in such soilless vegetable factories.
.
Through the scientific proportioning of nutrient solution and temperature and light, the vegetables in the factory can grow at the best and fastest speed in the environment that is most suitable for them. The quality of the vegetables can also be maintained at the best, without pests and diseases, and without the need for pesticides.
, safe enough.
More importantly, this can avoid natural disasters and many uncertainties, and can maintain an uninterrupted supply of vegetables throughout the year with consistent quality.
Nowadays, vegetables grown in vegetable factories have become an important source of vegetables in major supermarkets because they are of good quality and safe enough.
It's just that, although the vegetables processed in this way are of good quality and very safe, they lack the taste of fruits and vegetables grown in the soil, as well as the rich trace elements.
But today, when food safety is taken seriously, these tastes and trace elements are no longer important.
This is why we always complain that today’s vegetables are losing their original taste.
On the one hand, it is cultivated without soil in vegetable factories, and on the other hand, it is fast-growing. In other words, these vegetables are harvested before they are mature, and then sent to the vegetable rack for sale, and finally delivered to your doorstep.
In the mouth.
So today, as our material lives continue to improve, everyone's demand for high-quality food is also increasing.
Nowadays, everyone no longer just pursues the freshness and safety of vegetables, but begins to pursue the taste of vegetables. So, a large number of organic lettuce and farm vegetables have been released one after another.
But for a desert base with such a harsh environment, as long as there are enough fresh and safe vegetables and fruits, it will be enough. As for the other things, what kind of bicycles are needed?
Faced with such difficult conditions, the only way to quickly change the status quo and allow everyone to eat fresh vegetables is to build a modern plant factory to prepare fresh vegetables and fruits.
In terms of modern agriculture, smart agriculture, and unmanned agriculture, Wu Hao and others are also involved, and they have done very well.
Therefore, in the planning of the base, there is such an intelligent unmanned plant factory, which is used to prepare the vegetables and fruits needed by the base, and also to cultivate some other plants. Such as pleasant fresh flowers and other plants
etc.
The entire intelligent unmanned plant factory is similar in appearance to the hangar Wu Hao and the others visited just now, but it adopts a steel frame glass structure. The interior is divided into multiple areas, and each area is divided into many areas from top to bottom.
layer.
Each layer can be regarded as a plant planting module, used to grow various vegetables, fruits or other plants.
The entire factory adopts intelligent unmanned management, including the temperature, light, humidity, etc. in the factory, which are all managed by the intelligent system.
In addition, everything from the sowing of plant seeds to cultivation to final picking and harvesting is all handled by professional robots controlled by intelligent systems.
In other words, people only need to choose what kind of vegetables and fruits, and then wait for the harvest.
