After inspecting the place to learn more about it, Wu Hao and the others immediately arrived at their main destination this time, the intelligent unmanned farm, early the next morning.
What left Wu Hao speechless was that Xu Xiaoya and the others also came with them. They said they wanted to investigate in advance, but in fact they just came to inquire about the situation. After all, the subsequent management of agricultural and sideline products of this farm has been handed over to the A-li, so they are also very concerned about the construction of the farm.
The cross-country convoy traveled in the desert for half an hour and finally arrived at their farm.
It's said to be a farm, but it's actually just a piece of sand. The early engineering team has already stationed here and started leveling the entire farm and constructing related facilities.
"Mr. Wu!" A young man with a dark face wearing a straw hat saw them getting out of the car and immediately led others to greet them.
"Xiu Ming?" Wu Hao looked uncertainly at the dark-faced, weather-beaten young man in front of him. You must know that two months ago, the Du Xiuming in front of me was still fat and white in the laboratory. Why did he become like this after not seeing him for two months?
"It's me, Mr. Wu, welcoming you to our Shale Farm." Du Xiuming held Wu Hao's hand and smiled.
"Shale Farm?" Xu Xiaoya next to her asked doubtfully.
Du Xiuming nodded and explained with a smile: "It's just gravel, but we removed the word 'stone' for gravel, so it's called sand music.
From this literal meaning, you will know that there is nothing to be found here except sand.
In fact, there is also a private name, such as silly, silly music, etc., which is more suitable for the living conditions of those of us here. Apart from being exhausted from work every day, I also spend the rest of the time having fun. Apart from that, I can't find any other entertainment items to fill my time. "
Hahahaha... everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Wu Hao patted Du Xiuming on the shoulder, and then raised his voice to everyone: "On behalf of the company, I would like to express my condolences to everyone, you have worked hard. This time, I brought you some condolences, which are in the car behind , which is my small compensation for everyone’s hard work.”
"Thank you, Mr. Wu!"
Wu Hao waved his hand and interrupted everyone's comments: "I should thank you. Without you working here, our project would not have taken root so quickly.
This project is our major attempt in the field of new high-tech agriculture, and it is also an important measure for us to assume social responsibility and serve the public.
We hope that this project will be successful so that we can use this technology to completely change our current severe situation of domestic farmland and manpower shortage.
It can also find a solid and feasible development path for the development of our domestic agriculture, provide more people with reliable and high-quality agricultural and sideline products, and ensure our domestic food safety. "
Of course, these are big words, suitable for speaking in public. Although Wu Hao doesn't like it and is not good at it, in this situation, as the leader of the team this time, he must say something.
After saying this, Wu Hao said to Du Xiuming: "Let's go, take us around."
"Okay, please come this way." Du Xiuming nodded, and then led Wu Hao and the others into the farm.
The so-called farm station is actually a few sets of simple board houses and tents built in a relatively flat area. There are some building materials piled next to it. However, the foundation of the construction site is still being dug and the work has not started yet.
For buildings in this kind of sand, the foundation must be strong and stable, especially for large buildings. You must know that sandy soil is relatively loose. If the foundation is not prepared well, it will easily settle or tilt due to unstable foundation, or even collapse and other serious situations may occur.
This is our planned construction area for factories and warehouses. In the first phase of the project, we plan to build five factories and ten large warehouses here for the production needs of our farm. Du Xiuming introduced to Wu Hao and the others.
Wu Hao looked at the busy construction site, and then asked Du Xiuming, "Is the control center also built here?"
Du Xiuming nodded, then took out a planning drawing and gestured to everyone.
“The control center, signal tower and other supporting facilities are built here. From a topographic point of view, this is the highest point of the entire farm, making it convenient to manage the entire farm.
In the future, there will be an asphalt road leading from here to Iron Gate and then connected to the provincial highway. In this way, the agricultural and sideline products produced on our farm can be transported by road after being packaged in the factory. "
"How many acres does this farm cover in total?" Xu Xiaoya asked while looking around with sunglasses on.
Du Xiuming laughed when he heard this and said: "Our first phase is planned to be 600 hectares, and the second phase will be expanded to 1,500 hectares. As for the third phase and subsequent expansion projects, it will depend on the development of the farm."
Xu Xiaoya nodded when he heard this. The 1,500 hectares were calculated to be more than 20,000 acres, not too big, but not too small either. From the perspective of early development, this scale is quite appropriate.
"What's the specific plan? What to plant?" Xu Xiaoya squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it.
Du Xiuming shook his head, and then said with a wry smile: "As for what to plant, there is a lot of controversy among experts now, but judging from the current situation, everyone is still more inclined to plant drought-tolerant crops such as wheat or corn sorghum first.
Moreover, this type of crops has relatively low land requirements, which is suitable for the actual situation of our farm when it is just starting out. "
"These three items have no market competitiveness." Xu Xiaoya said while looking at Wu Hao. In fact, the meaning was very clear, that is, the added value of these crops was relatively low and they could not make much money.
Wu Hao naturally understood what she meant, and then smiled, then looked around and said: "At the beginning, there must be a process of adaptation.
I think there’s no need to argue. Since there is so much land anyway, we should plant some of everything as an experiment. Finally, we will analyze what can be grown here based on the actual situation.
Our most important task at present is to seize the time to complete the infrastructure construction and complete the land leveling work of these 600 hectares before next year's spring plowing. We must not delay next year's spring plowing plan. "
Du Xiuming showed a worried look after hearing his words: "The land leveling is not a big problem, and the construction of the factory, warehouse and control center is also no problem.
I am more worried about two things. First, the installation and installation of the entire sprinkler and drip irrigation system is time-consuming and laborious. With such a large area and the impact of the severe winter climate, I am afraid that time is a bit tight. "
Seeing Wu Hao and others nodding, Du Xiuming continued: "Second, that is the debugging work of our series of mechanical equipment and intelligent systems. You must know that it is not long before next year's spring plowing, and the relevant mechanical equipment It’s not in place yet, the research and development project team for the intelligent system has not yet been set up, and there is still a lot of preparation work to be done, so the pressure is really great in such a short period of time.”
