The plastic sheet greenhouse cultivation, like the glass greenhouse, is being followed up by Professor Olan's team. The reason for the high cost of the glass greenhouse is that it deviates from the standard that Olan originally expected. After a period of hard work by him and his students, the plastic sheet greenhouse Greenhouses have been adapted to the cultivation of a variety of vegetables and potatoes.
This time they went to the Pilates area for cooperative promotion under the escort of officially employed intermediary company business personnel and security teams.
After settling in, the salesperson goes to look for people who are likely to cooperate.
The students went outside together and wandered around. It was really boring and they focused on the project.
"Teacher, do you think they can accept our greenhouse technology?"
Oran sighed softly: "You'd better not have too much hope."
Olan is a visiting professor in the Black Forest and has a lot of time to arrange freely. He himself has also tried to promote glass greenhouses abroad, but no matter how many benefits he can tell, it will be completely useless as soon as the price comes out.
The overall material procurement cost and transportation cost of the plastic sheet greenhouse are much lower, but even if Gold Chemical promised the lowest supply price, it is still equivalent to three years of agricultural labor.
Three years, that is the price under the balance of urban control warehouses throughout the country, which is somewhat different from the outside.
"Teacher, potatoes in the market here cost 40 cents, so the cost of a greenhouse should be acceptable."
Oran looked over and saw that it was Rab, the exchange student who had recently joined the group.
This young man is usually very silent, but he is quite sure-footed in his work. There are almost no mistakes in the things that are given to him. Regardless of his identity, Olan appreciates him.
"Four cents or five cents is not the farmers' shipping price, and it can't even reach half of it. I don't know exactly what they think. You can observe their performance in a few days." After all, he is an academic nerd. I have very little contact with non-mages throughout my life, so I don't know how to analyze the mentality of those people.
Later that day, the salesman sent back the good news that Gael Society was willing to lend them a piece of land to build a large display shed.
The nature of the Gaelic Society is very special. On the one hand, they are local gangsters. They charge protection fees, which are now called management fees, and they also control the sales of local imported materials. On the other hand, the Gaelic Society has a population of more than 30,000 nearby. As the actual rulers, they punished all those who disrupted order, and the lords had no way to bypass and directly manage the grassroots.
Its nature determines that even if you are not optimistic about the greenhouse project, you will treat it more cautiously than ordinary landowners.
The students were dissatisfied: "Lease the land? Don't they pay for it?"
The salesman scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well... they were unwilling to pay after hearing the quotation."
"Why? Didn't you say the temperature might cool down in the future?"
Maybe the cooling issue was mentioned in the newspapers, and some professors in the college also recognized this statement, which should be a very favorable situation in the eyes of students.
"I told you, but they ignored me and only agreed to halve the land fee."
Oran is more mature, Yuanchang said: "It doesn't matter, we can build a sample, and the output can be handed over to your office here for processing."
"No problem!" The salesman agreed quickly, because extra charges would be incurred if the business relationship lengthened.
In the next two days, Olan took the students to build a greenhouse covering an area of 400 square meters at the place provided by the Gael Club.
There were also many farmers watching during the process, and they basically had nothing nice to say, and most of them thought they were "messing around."
The students tried to explain the benefits to the farmers, but the onlookers either couldn't understand or couldn't listen, which made the students very angry.
In short, we built a greenhouse under unfriendly circumstances and started growing vegetables.
At this stage, the rain is stable, the air humidity is generally high, and the temperature difference between day and night only hovers between 4 and 8 degrees. When the basic temperature exceeds 20 degrees, the production capacity effect of the greenhouse's thermal insulation advantage is very limited.
But if the yield advantage cannot be maximized, even the basis for the promotion of greenhouses will disappear.
Use some means.
Supplementary light at night.
Agricultural subsidies
The light is a very energy-consuming thing, easily exceeding one kilowatt per square meter. Even the Phoenix Kingdom cannot withstand this level of energy consumption, so the magic fill light developed by the Olan team is also used here.
After two days of illumination after germination, the people from the Gael Society figured it out and requested that the normal vegetable fields be supplemented with light.
Olan's glass greenhouse and greenhouse projects have been under development for a year or two. He knew the advantages of greenhouses and readily entrusted an agency to get a batch of fill lights for them to use.
The farmland of the Gaelic Society is a supplement to the conservation fee and is specifically targeted at those who have no means of livelihood. The method is similar to that of landlords, but the difference is that they do not charge fixed fees based on the harvest, and do not provide relief in disaster years, at least not free of rent in the name of the Gaelic Society. The corresponding advantage is that the land rent is lower than that of normal landowners. According to the average local millet production last year, the land rent only accounted for less than one-fifth of the harvest. In addition, there is no tenant relationship, so it will be fine if the rice is planted halfway.
The number of mages in the Gaelic Society is counted in hundreds. With such power, many farmers would rather cultivate their land than open up wasteland themselves. After all, the safety cost of opening up wasteland falls on them, and they may not be able to survive for a long time. Demons who cause destruction may be destroyed by other bad species.
Filling light will increase production, but who will pay for it?
The answer is: Gaelic Society paid for these lamps with its own money, without the farmers having to pay!
This situation was very contradictory to their behavior of collecting protection fees, which made the students extremely curious and pushed the brave ones to ask their inspector.
On the contrary, the inspector thought the students were strange and replied: "We don't know how much we can increase production, so how can we collect money? This period will be a bargain for them."
...makes sense.
After turning on the lights, the control experiment only lasted twenty days before significant differences were seen.
Needless to say, the greenhouse wins.
The simple truth is that both plastic cloth and glass will reflect thermal radiation. With supplementary light at night, the internal temperature can be several degrees higher than the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the cell activity, and the cells will naturally develop faster.
[In view of the general environment,
This is still the effect of normal fill light. The model of the lamp is not bad at all. If you use the lamps used in some spice greenhouses, the temperature can be controlled to around 40 degrees.
It's a pity that this result did not make the Gael Society make up its mind on the spot, because it is obvious that the advantages of simple fill light are better than that of simple greenhouse.
The standard magic fill light automatically charges from the environment during the day and fills in light at night. This mode does not require human management at all. The disadvantage is that it can only provide three hours of high-intensity lighting at night. Take out the energy storage module and fill it with a special charger, so that you can light it all night. However, this management is too troublesome and almost no one uses it. As a result, the corresponding charging base is not available in stock, so you need to go to a lamp manufacturer. Factory custom-made.
Fully automated zero-cost production ramp-up is one, and the second is the longer life expectancy of the magic fill light.
The plastic sheet will be damaged by bird pecks, rat bites, and careless contact with farm tools. The life expectancy of a greenhouse will not be particularly long unless the temperature really drops to below zero and no small animals will move.
The magic fill light is a regular hexahedron with anti-damage chamfers, and the entire shell is made of metal. Even if something goes wrong, as long as it is not directly hit by a hammer, there are mages from the Gaelic Society who can repair it, and there is basically no need to consider the service life.
Fortunately, the Gale Society has a sense of urgency. After the comparison experiment, they still paid for the existing greenhouses, but they will not build new greenhouses for the time being.
In addition, with the efforts of the sales staff, they agreed to maintain a certain amount of plastic sheet inventory to reduce the future supply pressure of Gold Chemical.
