Su Zhe and the other five listened to the commentator explain the process of planting rice in the rice planting area.
From the allocation of land to the selection of rice seeds, to the control of the environment in the rice planting area and the maintenance of the microecology in the rice planting area.
The last thing explained is the entire process from rice sowing to harvesting.
The entire process is automated and intelligent.
After listening to this, Zuo Dajun joked: "These rice plants are living a life like an emperor. In this small space, rice is the real protagonist. Everything is to serve rice and the earth." Compared with rice, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. There is absolutely no comparison between the two."
"Da Jun, you have such a clear idea. You can compare it with others. There is no one else." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Speaking of which, the space farm model is not the most efficient way to utilize energy. Let's put it this way, Maintaining the environment in rice-growing areas requires a lot of energy, but that's not the case on Earth."
The space farm model can indeed grow crops on a large scale and significantly increase yields, but it also consumes staggering amounts of energy.
Compared with rice grown on earth, the difference in energy consumed for the same harvest is very large.
To be honest, growing rice on the earth consumes the least amount of energy and is the most energy efficient way.
Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "Understood, just like the oil agriculture in the past, we can say it is solar agriculture. In the final analysis, it requires high energy consumption to maintain the living environment of rice. In fact, it doesn't matter to us now. We have the light pillar project and we have the sun. We have endless energy, and we have the capital and conditions to use energy to accumulate it. Anyway, we have achieved energy freedom for a long time."
Petroleum agriculture, or large-scale mechanical agriculture.
This method of agriculture is highly dependent on petroleum. Almost all the fertilizers and pesticides used in this method come from petroleum, plus the oil consumed by the machinery.
Relatively speaking, this method is much more convenient than traditional agricultural cultivation, but the energy consumed is much higher than in the past.
The current space farm model can be said to be the ultimate version of the evolution of petroleum agriculture.
It no longer changes the local production environment of crops like oil agriculture, such as using chemical fertilizers and removing weeds, diseases and insect pests, but it is all-round, covering the entire ecology.
To put it bluntly, the space farm rice planting area is to create an optimal ecology for rice growth and create an ecology.
The energy consumed to maintain an ecology can be imagined.
Whether it is petroleum agriculture or the current model, in the final analysis there are still conditions, and there is no need to consider energy utilization.
Bao Qi coughed and said: "What does it mean a long time? The proton fusion device has been designed and is now under construction. As long as the proton fusion device is successful, we humans will master the controllable nuclear fusion technology, and we humans will achieve energy Freedom, by then, even if the sun blows up, we will still be able to survive in the universe."
Zuo Dajun was a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "Yeah! I forgot about the proton fusion device. Once this thing is done, we will achieve energy freedom, and then it won't matter."
The few of them chatted for a while, and Fan Xiaoming saw that they were done. He reminded them, "Let's go to the wheat growing area, the corn growing area, and some others. After seeing these, we want to go to the space ranch."
At this time, several people flew off the ground and flew towards the wheat planting area under the leadership of the commentator.
At this time, the rice planting area began to get dark. After a while, the rice planting area was completely dark.
Although the rice planting area became dark, it did not affect the flight of Su Zhe and others at all.
After it darkened in the rice planting area, Su Zhe and others changed the observation mode of the humanoid bionic robot.
You must know that humanoid bionic robots can observe things not only in the visible light range, but also in the invisible light range. With the assistance of SS-defense systems and other detection facilities, the range they can observe will be even larger.
From Su Zheji
From a human perspective, the rice planting area gradually became dim, and finally it was completely dark, and nothing could be seen.
After several people changed the mode, what they saw was basically the same as before.
Zuo Dajun said while flying, "This is a simulated night, not bad... but the observation mode of the humanoid bionic robot needs to be optimized. After changing the mode, there is no difference between the night and the day. I said this simulated Isn’t it too much? I think it’s not realistic enough. It’s better to see what it is. There’s no need to fully conform to our habits.”
He knew the night observation mode of humanoid robots.
Under normal circumstances, the frequency band that humanoid bionic robots can see is the same as the frequency band that humans can see. The purpose is very simple, that is, what humans and humanoid bionic robots see is the same, and no deviation can occur.
If there is a deviation, it will cause misleading and discomfort to people.
In order to achieve this, the relevant scientific research teams have spent a lot of effort.
You know, there are slight differences in the results that everyone sees from the same picture, and everyone is different.
The same goes for people and cameras.
After the humanoid bionic robot is changed to night observation mode, the actual picture it sees is gray and white. The reason why it looks similar to reality is that it has been processed.
Some details will be added or reduced during the processing, making the picture seen in this mode less realistic.
Bao Qizheng thought for a while and said: "We have also considered this aspect. Some details of the processed pictures will be lost. Relevant research is ongoing, and it is estimated that a selection mode will be added in the future."
"That's right!" Zuo Dajun smiled, "But we still have to distinguish between night and day. We have to look at it from our human perspective. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a simulation or not. Reality is the most important thing. After all, the images we see with our human eyes also undergo a series of operations such as processing.”
"Dajun, I let you say everything alone." Bao Qizheng shook his head helplessly, "Actually, these are still in the exploratory stage. In the end, it still depends on the actual situation, but there are two things that will not change, and that is the truth. and from a human perspective.”
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "The vision of the humanoid bionic robot itself should not be fancy, just be the same as ours. As for other things, just use virtual reality and other tools to assist. This model is what we see now." It’s very weird. Even though it’s night, it’s the same as during the day. It always feels weird. Just look at it! I’m going to write this down when I’m writing my experience report. There’s really no need to do all these bells and whistles when it comes to visuals.”
Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "That's it. Look, there's a door in front of you. We can't even see it. It's a bit fancy. It's better to use the normal mode. You can switch over and try it." "
At Xu Zhengping's prompt, several people switched to observation mode.
Sure enough, they saw a faint light coming from the wall.
The door on the wall opened, and this faint light was so conspicuous in the dark rice planting area.
Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "It's quite atmospheric when you look at it. Speaking of it, seeing these is the correct way to open it. Day is day and night is night. There is no need to keep them together. They can't be separated."
As they spoke, several people entered the open door.
After entering, the door behind several people was closed.
A few people entered a long passage. As they walked in the passage, there was sometimes wind and sometimes fog, and light beams swept through them from time to time. They also passed three doors before finally arriving at the wheat planting area.
Zuo Dajun looked at the closed door behind him and said jokingly: "This is the process of disinfection and sterilization. If a real person passes through it, he will burp."
This was the third time he had gone through such disinfection and sterilization, and he still couldn't help but complain.
In such a passage, a person would definitely be doomed without tools.
"If a real person runs here, even if a real person comes, he will definitely be fully armed." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Besides, it would be impossible without such disinfection and sterilization.
Yes, the ecology of different growing areas is different. If we bring any fungal viruses from the rice growing areas, the wheat in the wheat growing areas may be completely destroyed. "
"No! It's so serious." Zuo Dajun didn't believe it, "The ecology here can't be so fragile!"
Several people were flying in mid-air, looking at the patches of wheat seedlings below.
This is not a rice-growing area. It is daytime here, with the scorching sun in the sky, so several people can see it clearly.
"Fragile, extremely fragile." Su Zhe explained, "Compared to the ecology of the earth, the ecology here is extremely fragile. Although these wheat and rice crops themselves are resistant, they do not prevent bad fungi and Viruses destroy the balance of this small ecology."
Each planting area is a small balanced ecology, and the highest service provider of this ecology is the crops in this planting area.
For example, the ecology of wheat-growing areas serves wheat.
This ecology is built through meticulous research. Whether it is fungi, viruses, or other organisms, it has reached a balance.
If other organisms enter this ecology, it is very likely to break the ecology that serves crops.
After Su Zhe finished explaining, he asked the commentator to help Zuo Dajun continue to explain.
During this process, several people came to the ground to check the growth of the wheat.
It has to be said that wheat grown in this ecological environment is very prosperous.
At this time, the wheat seedlings have pulled out the wheat ears. These wheat ears look like pasted and copied. To be precise, every wheat looks like pasted and copied.
While Su Zhe and the others were observing, Zuo Dajun ran over and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand everything. It seems that I will have to supplement my knowledge in this area in the future, otherwise I will be blind and do nothing." Know."
A few people smiled. Except for Hao Yi, no one here knew much about these things. They came to visit just to see what was new, and they didn't know the specific details.
Fan Xiaoming joked: "Dajun, you are going to study biology and agriculture. This is no different than mechas and space suits. These are more complicated. If you want to learn it completely, you must not be bad at mathematics, physics, and chemistry, otherwise you will not be able to do it well." Just learn half-heartedly.”
"Um...I have this idea. At most, I can only understand the common sense of application. At least I won't make a joke in the future. I don't know anything. People like me who don't know still like to ask, so I should know something. You have good common sense." Zuo Dajun said and looked up at the sky, "I said this simulation is too real. The sun is so hot that it burns me to death. It is probably the noon sun."
"You were right." Fan Xiaoming said and waved his hand, and the relevant data of wheat growing areas appeared in front of several people.
Looking at the data, you can tell that what is simulated at this time is the sunlight at noon.
Zuo Dajun smiled, "Really, this simulation really looks like that."
Fan Xiaoming reminded: "This is not just like, this band of sunlight is wheat's favorite and can maximize the growth of wheat."
Zuo Dajun nodded, "Understood, this is a wheat growing area, and wheat is the protagonist here."
After visiting the wheat growing area, several people were led by the commentator through a passage to the corn growing area.
When they came here, several people were surprised to find that many of the corns were already mature, and there were many robots like those seen in potato planting areas. These robots shuttled through the cornfields with baskets on their backs to select mature corns.
A few people walked around and found that these robots gathered the picked corn in one place.
After listening to the commentator's explanation, I learned that these mature corns will be packaged and sent to the space ranch, or processed into various agricultural and sideline products in the central factory of the space farm to supply the space ranch, space fishery, and Ecosystem No. 1.
Su Zhe and others landed in the corn field, and the commentator directly controlled a picking robot.
After a while, Su Zhe and the other five people each had a corn cob in hand.
Zuo Dajun looked at the peeled corn cobs in his hands and said with a smile.
: "This is still the kind of waxy corn. It looks good. It looks like a painting. I want to take a bite when I look at these corn kernels. It's a pity that I'm not here...I said, by the way, Humanoid bionic robots also have a sense of taste.”
After saying that, Zuo Dajun took a bite.
It was too late for the narrator to stop it.
Fan Xiaoming quickly reminded, "Dajun, you can try it, don't vomit."
At this point, the narrator began to explain why.
While the narrator was controlling the robot, another robot flew over with a big box.
Zuo Dajun spit out all the chewed corn kernels into the box.
Zuo Dajun smiled awkwardly and said, "It's delicious. This corn is better than the best corn I've ever eaten."
As he said that, Zuo Dajun gnawed on the corn cob in his hand.
Eat and vomit, eat after vomiting.
After a while, a corn cob was eaten by Zuo Dajun.
When Zuo Dajun wanted to take another bite, he was stopped by Fan Xiaoming.
"Army, it's almost done. If you want to eat corn, you can go to the virtual universe. Don't try to trick people here."
