Guo Xiaopeng laughed after hearing Chen Yi's words and shook his head.
“Well, these people do deserve to starve to death.
I am so full that I still have time to criticize the next generation of young people in rural areas for not being able to farm. "
Regarding "No one is growing food anymore, what will everyone eat in the future?", Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng both felt that people who openly let this issue arouse public opinion are either stupid or bad.
Ordinary young urban residents may not know much about the situation in rural areas and may have this question, but they will not specifically stir up this topic.
Everyone is worried, but they will not be like those opinion leaders who use their popularity to heat up this topic and attract more people's attention.
The title that Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng saw was a new update from a certain big v on Renren.com.
In fact, Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng's remarks might be a bit inappropriate if they were placed before his time travel, because there were no large-scale hydroponic farms and alkane starch yeast production lines in his previous life.
Mr. Lu Xun said it well: Productivity determines production relations, and production relations react on productivity.
This sentence is very applicable to the situation between Chen Yi's time before and now.
But Mr. Lu Xun also said something: backward production relations will hinder the development of productive forces.
This world has yeast that converts plant fiber into alkanes and starch, plus insect larvae, a food source that can convert plant fiber into protein.
Mr. Lu Xun said it well: You can eat it by removing the head and internal organs. Its protein is six times that of beef.
Xijianlian's smart greenhouse is not similar to ordinary greenhouses as everyone imagines. That is, all aspects such as temperature, nutrient solution, fertilizer, and fresh water can be automatically adjusted by machines.
Xi Jianlian's underground farm and surface smart greenhouse are completely soilless cultivation in petri dishes, which is also the legendary "hydroponic farm".
What limits the output of hydroponic farms is not the area and quality of the land, but the large-scale production of light and nutrient solution required for photosynthesis. At this time, the area of a country's cultivated land will no longer be a factor limiting the upper limit of food production. It's the output of certain types of light and operating fluids.
Now that we are free from the constraints of land area, the only constraints on food production are space volume, nutrition and light. For example, the 10,000-square-meter surface building where Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng are currently located is a smart hydroponic farm. , located in the Karamay Desert, but in this area the desert has completely turned into an oasis.
The entire building currently only has fifteen floors. Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng are on the first floor. The ground is four meters high from the ceiling, which is considered the normal height of the building.
Starting from the second floor, each floor is only two meters high. The purpose is to maximize the use of space resources and save costs. After all, in a building of the same height, a building with a smaller single-story height will definitely produce more food. The farm has a similar layout, except that one is upward and the other is downward.
The reason why it is said that there are only fifteen floors for the time being is that the rooftop is still under construction. The building is slowly being stacked piece by piece like stacking blocks, and the underground is also being developed simultaneously layer by layer.
As long as the load-bearing design is well planned, it can theoretically be stretched infinitely.
If necessary, after the height and depth of the building reach a certain limit, oxygen-generating equipment will definitely be equipped in higher places due to altitude sickness, and related temperature control equipment underground will continue to be improved due to rising temperatures. At that time, related industries will usher in a big development.
The exterior surface of the entire building is covered with solar panels, which convert solar energy into electrical energy and then allow the light bulbs in the building to emit the blue-green and red-orange light required for plant photosynthesis.
If you stand on the top floor of a building and look around, you will find that there are many "high-rise buildings" in this area.
All high-rise buildings are built on the foundations of smart greenhouses that are used to stabilize the soil. When the soil in the entire area is cultivated, the entire area of smart greenhouses will be dismantled.
Most of them are used to adjust the climate in the open air, while a small number continue to be built layer by layer like building blocks to become the current hydroponic farm.
Looking down from the sky across Western Xinjiang, the linearly spaced buildings covering an area of 10,000 square meters will make people mistakenly think that this is a giant city at first glance, but in fact it is just a cluster of farms.
There are also many owners of these farms. Locals in Xijiang and farmers who choose to grow bamboo grass may obtain the right to use and benefit from several floors of the building.
In other words, they have become "farmers" in the true sense, but basically all farmers will not exercise their ownership rights and outsource all daily management work to Western Construction Alliance.
Xijianlian only charges a certain management fee, but the ownership of the grain or fruits and vegetables produced belongs to the other party. Usually, farmers may keep some grain for themselves after each harvest, but fruits, vegetables and fruits have a limited shelf life. They will all be sold to West Jianlian.
Then internal members such as New World Group, Majia Company, COFCO, China Resources Group, Three Barrel Oil, and Hu Group either digest them internally, sell them through their own channels, or use them as consumables in the company’s internal employee canteens.
Our goal is to allow any resident anywhere in the country to buy any fruits and vegetables at affordable prices at any time of the year.
The task of these hydroponic farms is actually to undertake the daily food consumption in the mainland.
It's just that the first floor of every hydroponic farm will be converted into buildings for various purposes. The first floor of the farm where Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng are located is a laboratory covering an area of 10,000 square meters.
With this kind of productivity, Chen Yi and Guo Xiaopeng can sneer at the recently hyped topic on Renren.com.
Maybe many people don't know about hydroponic farms in Western Xinjiang, and they don't know the food output in the west. It's natural for people to worry about insufficient food in the future.
However, artificially hyped topics are intended to forcefully instill in others the concept that the "next generation of rural young people" as a group "must farm for everyone". This kind of behavior really deserves to starve to death.
After Guo Xiaopeng laughed dumbly, he ignored the big V's self-pleasure and walked directly to an experimental table. On the table were two small petri dishes. On one side was a pile of black viscous liquid, and on the other side was a pile of white. of powder.
Curious, he asked Chen Yi a question: "Boss, now the separation of the alkane-starch mixture has been successful. After strict testing, this pile of starch does not contain any alkane residues.
And the conversion rates of alkane and starch have reached 6.3% and 31.2%. What are you going to do? "
After hearing this, Chen Yi rubbed his face and said with a depressed look: "Then you said that we have built so many high-rise buildings here, isn't it a waste of love?"
Guo Xiaopeng shook his head: "Boss, I feel that your thinking is a bit extreme. You are doing these things just to ensure the minimum survival needs of 1.3 billion people.
The situation you assume is either that everyone in Blue Star will encounter an unavoidable apocalyptic natural disaster, or that there will only be World War III.
Judging from the current development of the situation, even if there is a nuclear war, it will be decades later, and it is impossible for us to eat only starch without eating any fruits and vegetables, right? "
This time it was Chen Yi's turn to laugh: "Do you think it will be difficult to promote this new technology?"
After Guo Xiaopeng heard this sentence, he didn't know why.
"Boss, what exactly do you want to say?"
