Chapter 918 [Smart Plant Factory]

However, in the plant cultivation experimental factory where Fang Hong was working at this moment, Zhang Qiyang introduced to him: "In the early days, the plant factory mainly planted vegetables and fruits, including some edible flowers, and some functional plants."

Zhang Qiyang said instead: "But after the emergence of the plant factory's breeding accelerator, we can now carry out rapid breeding of rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, rape, etc., these grain and oil crops."

At this moment, Fang Hong stopped in front of a rice plant and said to the people next to him: "Give me a close-up for the audience to see."

At the same time, Zhang Qiyang, who was beside him, also took rice as an example: "Because the light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and other environmental factors and nutritional factors such as rice growth can be precisely controlled, its growth cycle is also greatly improved. of shortening.”

Fang Hong also glanced at a panel display next to him, which displayed the growth status of the rice and real-time environmental data.

Zhang Qiyang said: "The growth cycle in a field environment can reach more than 120 days, but in a plant factory, due to the intelligent coordinated control of light and nutrients, its growth cycle can be shortened to about 60 days."

As soon as these words came out, the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked, and Fang Hong also looked at Zhang Qiyang in surprise: "The cycle has been shortened to 60 days? Does that mean you can plant 6 crops a year?"

The audience in the live broadcast room called out, "Hey guys, in the tropical and subtropical areas of the southern part of the country, rice generally has two or three crops a year. This plant factory can directly produce six crops a year?"

Zhang Qiyang smiled and said: "The factors that make any organism grow fast generally depend on two core factors, namely environment and nutrition. In this plant factory, we have understood the temperament of rice and provided the seedlings with customized small stoves to photosynthesize The effect will naturally be accelerated, and the dream of early ripening of rice will come true. In the whole process, the hardest nut to crack is to customize the most suitable light environment for the rice."

Hearing this, Fang Hong nodded, glanced at the camera and said, "We also planted rice in the fields when we were young, and we were bitten by leeches."

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also surprised. They didn't expect that such an awesome person as K God had ever done it before.

If you think about it carefully, God K is a self-made giant. When he was a child, the country was not as wealthy as it is today. There are many peers in the live broadcast room who also helped their families farm and plant rice when they were young, so I believe what Fang Hong said is true. .

Many people of the same generation can't help but sigh in their hearts. They are of the same generation, but the gap is so big...

But at this moment, Zhang Qiyang continued to introduce: "For the growth of rice in a field environment, its light mainly comes from natural light. In addition to its energy providing photosynthesis, it also serves as a signal source to regulate its growth cycle, especially Its endogenous hormones are also stimulated and regulated by flowering hormones.”

"After repeated research and cultivation, we have found an optimization formula for light in different growth stages of rice, so that its growth period can be greatly shortened at different stages. Another aspect is that light must be coordinated with nutrition to achieve its rapid growth. Breeding, under the optimal light environment, also provides the optimal nutritional supply, and the entire process is intelligently and accurately adjusted."

At this time, Fang Hong looked at Zhang Qiyang and said, "I saw a comment from an audience member saying, have these crops grown in the plant factory used genetically modified technology?"

Zhang Qiyang shook his head and said: "Our research did not introduce any genetically modified technology, and this is not my area of ​​expertise."

After hearing this, Fang Hong looked at the camera: "This is the most authoritative answer. This live broadcast with everyone is also open and transparent to show everyone what technologies our modern agricultural technology uses and what technologies we do not use." Technology allows everyone to eat with confidence, and the best way to dispel doubts is to be open and transparent, and to directly report on the spot.”

After a while, Zhang Qiyang returned to the topic and said: "As we all know, natural light contains seven kinds of visible light, namely red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and red and ultraviolet spectra. Among them, blue and red light promote the photosynthesis of plants the most, and other spectra also have a negative impact on plants. It has unique functions in flowering, fruiting and pigment formation."

"After continuous research and exploration, our team has realized the possibility of using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to simulate sunlight with different spectral formulas. Nutrient solution replaces soil. There is no need to worry about pests, so there is no need to spray any pesticides. I can use my own personality With a career guarantee, the crops in the plant factory are very healthy, harmless and pollution-free.”

Fang Hong laughed and said, "Professor Zhang, there's no need for that. I'll just vouch for you."

This simple sentence came from the mouth of the founder of Qunxing Capital, and it carried a lot of weight. Zhang Qiyang was quite excited when he heard it, but what he didn't know was that although a subordinate who followed Fang Hong remained silent, But he has already secretly remembered this sentence.

Zhang Qiyang's unit needs to be taken special care of and must be watched closely.

Because Fang Hong released this sentence, Zhang Qiyang's unit must not have any problems, and the reputation of the big boss must not be damaged.

Zhang Qiyang continued: "With the support of a variety of innovative technologies, rice that matures in two months can be harvested six times a year. This method can definitely be promoted and applied on a large scale in the future."

Fang Hong asked curiously: "Do you have the conditions for large-scale promotion?"

Zhang Qiyang nodded and affirmed: "Yes, the main reason is that it can greatly shorten the growth cycle of crops. It is not afraid of any geographical and climatic restrictions. Another aspect is that it can be used in the future, such as urban food security, It can also provide large-scale applications to solve food security issues. For example, in some spaces such as underground, buildings, rooftops, and homes in cities, some food crops can also be produced using these means."

Having said this, Zhang Qiyang motioned Fang Hong to look at the plate of rice in front of him and introduced: "The rice in front of you is a dwarf rice, with a height of only about 50 centimeters, which can make better use of three-dimensional space. Not only does it take a short time to grow rice, but the yield is guaranteed and the quality is also high.”

Fang Hong nodded and said: "One thing is certain, a highly efficient breeding industry is the key to ensuring national food security. This is the point that I value most. The traditional rice breeding cycle is long, and at most two rice species can be bred in a year. It often takes several years or even decades to breed a new variety. With this smart plant factory, it has undoubtedly broken the bottleneck of time and space and is not affected by the environment. Yes, the future is promising."

The audience in the live broadcast room heard Fang Hong's words and praised him one after another. A boss is a boss. The first thing he cares about is the country's food security. This alone is not something ordinary entrepreneurs can achieve.
