Chapter 475 Vigorously promote the mechanization of soilless planting
Early the next morning, after Li Yang got up and had breakfast, he first called Zhao Deliang and asked him to bring several mechanical research and development technicians to Qingshan Town. After that, after working a lot in the office, he probably
At around nine o'clock in the morning, we set off for Qingshan Town.
After the Shengshi.com equity issue is resolved, the next step is the problem of soilless cultivation. Once resolved, Daqingshan's agricultural products will completely enter a new era. As long as a national-level agricultural product trading center is established, no matter how large the output is,
Selling it out will undoubtedly solve the problem of short-term surplus production in Daqingshan.
After driving to the original location of Qingshan Town, we saw that the latex pipeline had been installed and a high-power water pump was being mobilized and debugged.
"Doctor Li, you are here." Wang Jun came over happily and said.
"How was the debugging?" Li Yang said with a smile.
"I tried it several times, but it wasn't a big problem. Because we dug a lot of artificial lakes, we could pump water from all directions and dredge it into the inside of the pipe. After the water in the upper pipe overflowed, it just flowed into the fields below, including the fruits and vegetables planted in the fields.
Vegetables can also be hydrated, which saves trouble." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, you can change the angle. The original watering equipment on the ground can be slightly processed and customized so that it can automatically spray water upwards. After atomization is formed, there will be enough water in the pipes on the second floor, from bottom to top.
, it has a wider coverage than top-down coverage." Li Yang smiled and said.
"This method is good. It can be watered more thoroughly." Wang Jun's eyes lit up.
"But we must also pay attention to the growth cycle of crops. When they need more water and nutrients, they still need to be watered frequently. After all, the water received by the upper and lower layers is different. For example, once the sprouts of crops grown without soil enter the rapid growth stage, we must also pay attention to the growth cycle of crops.
In the long run, simple atomization is not as good as direct water flow through the second-layer pipeline, which is more conducive to growth." Li Yang warned.
"Okay." Li Yang nodded.
"Dr. Li, do we need some land for pilot projects in Pingzhou City and Cangzhou City?" Wang Jun asked.
"We will first conduct a pilot project in the 500,000-acre vegetable production area in Qingshan Town. After we get familiar with the model, we will proceed in batches. I have already called Zhao Deliang over, and I will let them see for themselves later. Manual planting will be carried out in the short term.
It's a last resort. If you want to roll it out completely, you still have to operate it mechanically." Li Yang nodded.
"I understand." Wang Jun nodded. There was too much arable land in Daqingshan, and most of the manpower was used on tasks that were inconvenient for machines.
Wang Jun also began to consciously promote mechanized operations to minimize waste of manpower.
Li Yang walked along the land and took a look. As for the fixation of the pipes and the speed of the water flow, he looked at it on the spot and found that the flow rate was too fast. Because there are two main types of soilless cultivation, one is pure hydroponics with nutrient solution.
The other is coconut bran, vermiculite, peat, etc. as a fixed base culture. Because the land area in Daqingshan is too large, Li Yang chose the first type of hydroponics.
As for the hydroponic model, the biggest problem is how to fix the crops.
For Daqingshan's agricultural products, the crops are fixed directly by using intervals within the pipes. In addition, the steel wire ropes that fix the pipes have safety buckles. When the sprouts are planted in, they can be liquefied and atomized for fertilization.
Such a simple method is only applicable to crops in Daqingshan, because the crops in Daqingshan have a short growth cycle due to the cultivation liquid, which also greatly avoids the chance of encountering bad weather. Once the sprouts grow on their own, the rhizomes will
Can be automatically fixed on the pipe.
"It's good. The wire rope must be strong and must be inspected after each picking. We used the simplest and fastest method in the early stage, but after all, planting off the ground, bearing the weight and fixing agricultural products can only rely on pipes and wire ropes.
safety buckle." Li Yang warned.
"We arrange for inspections every day. We have a short growth cycle and we pick the crops on the same day after they mature. I have tested the carrying capacity and there is no big problem. In addition, there is a passage in the middle of the road so that it will not affect the operation of large machinery." Wang Jun said solemnly.
"Okay, let's plant suitable crop seedlings as discussed before." Li Yang nodded.
Wang Jun nodded. Daqingshan has special land for cultivating sprouts. They chose suitable vegetable sprouts. Soon tens of thousands of Daqingshan women, who were nimble and agile, began to plant sprouts. They were not used to it at the beginning, but it took a while.
Once you get familiar with it slowly, the planting speed will be very fast.
The sprouts are initially fixed with the space inside the pipe, and then fixed twice with the safety buckle of the steel wire rope. In the initial stage, atomized fertilization is used. After the roots of the sprouts are firmly attached to the inside of the pipe, sufficient nutrients are provided directly with a small flow of water.
An easy method like this that doesn't require filling with soil.
A woman from Daqingshan can plant two acres of land a day at the beginning. After she becomes proficient, she can plant five acres of land a day. Ten thousand people can plant 50,000 acres of land.
After they become proficient, nearly 50,000 Daqingshan women will be working in the fields tomorrow. In this case, the initial planting work of 500,000 acres of land can be completed in two days at most.
When it was time to eat at noon, the food was transported directly to the fields.
No one goes home to eat, and they have to continue working after eating. Everyone is looking forward to the improvement of the new farming model. If the output can be increased, the income of every household in Daqingshan can also be increased.
Li Yang never treated his fellow villagers badly.
During this process, Zhao Deliang also came with mechanical research and development personnel.
"Mr. Li, I have looked at the general situation. You have left a space suitable for mechanical operation in advance. Our R&D personnel have also made on-site measurements and have a rough idea." Zhao Deliang muttered: "The initial idea is that the top of the steel wire rope
Install the pulley and produce an adapted sprout filling machine. Fill the sprouts directly at one end of the field. Set the time point for mechanical operation. Each time it reaches a fixed point of the pipeline, it will automatically lower the sprouts to the pipeline position. In this
During the process, make sure that the safety buckle can be fixed on the sprouts in a timely and precise manner.”
"This needs to be considered. It is best to control the height of the sprouts within a certain range."
"The sprouts in Daqingshan are carefully cultivated, so it's not a big problem." Li Yang nodded, and then mused: "I think the key point is still in the laid pipes. Now we use the space on the inside of the pipes.
Fixing the sprouts in the early stage seems not to be appropriate now. According to the height of the sprouts, it is about 80 centimeters. If a groove with a height of 50 centimeters is processed on the pipe, the mechanical filling of the sprouts will directly meet the groove.
For accurate placement and the safety buckle is directly locked at the top of the groove, I think the problem will not be big."
"Mr. Li's method is good." Zhao Deliang's eyes lit up, and then he recruited more than a dozen mechanical research and development personnel to discuss it.
"Mr. Li's method is not difficult. All you need to do is add a grooved stuck point to the machine that processes latex pipes and perform secondary filling and solidification."
"Yes, if there are fixed types of grooves, we can produce matching safety buckles. Once quantified, the planting speed will not be slower than direct sowing in the field."
"It can also be accurately atomized in the later stage. Our sprout filling machine can directly add nutrient solution. After filling the sprouts, an appropriate amount of nutrient solution will be added. In the later stage, pipes will be installed on this machine to cooperate with a water pump for automatic spraying.
It’s not a big problem either.”
These mechanical research and development personnel were all talking about it.
"Okay, how long will it take to develop it?" Zhao Deliang coughed dryly.
"The drawings are out today, and the molds can be made tomorrow, and then tests can be carried out to overcome various problems that may occur. I think it will be as fast as ten days." A R&D staff gritted his teeth and said. They all understand the efficiency of Daqingshan.
It would be great if it could be developed in other places within a few months, but doing things in Daqingshan depends on the calculation of heaven.
Fortunately, this kind of machinery is not too difficult. It is very similar to the process of adding bottle caps in the beverage production process. It mainly involves controlling the accuracy, speed and balance during operation.
"No, at most..." Zhao Deliang instinctively felt that ten days was too long. In his opinion, Xinyuan Machinery Factory, which Daqingshan invested several hundred million in, just asked you to put the process of adding bottle caps on
It takes ten days to fill the sprouts. Isn’t this nonsense?
"Mr. Zhao, let's take ten days." Li Yang smiled, pointed to the existing land and said: "In the early stage, the land in Qingshan Town will be the main testing site, and in the later stage, Pingzhou City and Cangzhou City will also use it.
We will test a portion of the land and repeatedly examine possible problems. This process takes time to discover various problems."
The R&D staff breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed simple, but the balance and accuracy required repeated adjustments, and the fragile sprouts were not metal bottle caps, so various problems still existed.
Can making a kite be the same as making an airplane?
Of course, R&D personnel would not say these words in public.
"Okay, you collect more data." Li Yang nodded.
"Yes." More than a dozen technical R&D personnel dispersed one after another.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Deliang and his people left in a hurry. Li Yang spent most of the day in the fields, personally participating in the front line, hoping to find various problems as early as possible.
According to the growth cycle of agricultural products in Daqingshan, if everything goes well, the machinery there will be able to complete preliminary testing in just one growth cycle. If there is no problem, large-scale planting can be carried out in the second planting.
When it was past seven o'clock in the evening, Li Yang called Zhao Wanru and said that he would be staying in the country tonight.
Chunfeng had already cooked the meal over there, and it was Li Yang who stayed in his house in the countryside.
"Go and take a shower. Why are you so dirty?" Chunfeng said helplessly.
"Time is tight. Only by experiencing it yourself can you find the problems and improve them as soon as possible." Li Yang smiled and saw that Chunfeng cooked four dishes and even brought wine. It was quite emotional. She was doing this.
I didn't spend a whole day wandering around in front of me, saying that I wanted to keep a sense of mystery, and I didn't know what I was going to do at night.
Li Yang went to the bathroom upstairs to take a shower. When he came down, the food was already placed in the living room and a few candles were specially lit.
"There is electricity, why are you making candles?" Li Yang smiled helplessly, not knowing where she saw it, and what kind of candlelight dinner.
"That's what I want." Chunfeng walked out of the room at this time, wearing a black suspender skirt with a one-shoulder style, revealing her fair shoulders, and her hair was slicked down and styled in waves.
Yesterday she had straight hair, but today she got a perm.
"No wonder I can't see you in the field today." Li Yang chuckled, looked down, nodded and said, "Very good, very feminine, but aren't you afraid that others will say you are lazy tomorrow?"
"What are you talking about me? I've been busy in the fields these past few days, and the workload today is not big. No one dares to blame me for being lazy all day." Chunfeng said disapprovingly, and just took Li Yang and hurriedly sat down to eat.
"Okay, let's reward our great hero by having a few drinks with you today." Li Yang nodded. Chunfeng was working very hard. Others had gone to the city, but she had to run to the countryside often. She was so busy.
It's field work, tiring and dirty.
"It's all about talking and not practicing fake moves. You drink less, as long as you have that intention. The key is not in the wine." Chunfeng rolled her eyes at Li Yang charmingly, then poured the wine for Li Yang himself, and even sat close to him.
"In the future, large-scale mechanization will be gradually promoted in the fields. After this year's work, you will be much more relaxed next year." Li Yang patted her arm and said.
"I don't have any education. If I go to school, I can't sit still. I can only stay in the countryside. What else can I do when mechanization becomes available?" Chunfeng suddenly felt melancholy and sat down on the chair, worried.
"Culture does not depend on academic qualifications, so I will criticize you. If you are dissatisfied with any of the young and old men in Daqingshan, your morale will be boosted as soon as you stop there. Your usefulness is comparable to that of Ma Sihai's propaganda department." Li Yang said with a smile.
"Always fooling me." Chunfeng rolled her eyes at Li Yang, but her mood improved a lot.
"You have to learn to slowly delegate power and give responsibility to the people below. From now on, you can live in Qingshan City or Dongjiang Province. Ability is gradually developed. Many people in Daqingshan have never gone to school, but it does not prevent them from going to school.
Go to a higher position." Li Yang held Chunfeng's hand and knew that among the women around him, she and Cheng Wan'er had the hardest time.
One works from dawn to dusk in warehouse No. 2, while the other works hard without complaint on the four million acres of land.
"I used to be able to help Cheng Wan'er, but now that there are so many intellectuals in Warehouse No. 2, how can I have the confidence to intervene." Chunfeng's eyes lit up, but she became more hopeful.
"Haha, are you still afraid?" Li Yang smiled.
"I'm just a fox pretending to be a tiger." Chunfeng smiled awkwardly.
After eating some food and drinking two glasses of wine, Chunfeng seemed not to be afraid anymore. She took Li Yang's arm and walked to the room upstairs, saying that she wanted to make some gestures. Her energy did not mean that she was timid at all.
It's more like being full of energy to move forward.
