Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 459 Sunny Sky Capital
The seminar at the National University of Defense Technology soon sparked a nationwide technological craze about new concepts, driven by official media, and various ideas emerged one after another.

When the participants of the topic changed from scientific researchers to the general public, more fantastic suggestions immediately emerged.

For example, we could build hundreds of floating cities on the ocean, and expand the sea baseline wherever we go.

For example, install a super-long electromagnetic catapult in the Himalayas to replace rockets or even space elevators.
For example, building an underground smart city that can accommodate tens of millions of people to deal with any possible civilization crisis.
Compared with these wild proposals, what was mentioned in the video of the seminar is already quite practical...

No matter if they are down-to-earth or swindling to attract attention,

The vitality and spirit of the entire society seem to have changed because of this great discussion. Everyone's vision and confidence in the future seem to have become concrete at this moment.
It has a lot of the momentum of mass entrepreneurship and innovation back then.

While big capital was still waiting and watching, Zhang Qing had already quietly registered an investment company called Sunny Sky Capital using his own 300 million in cash and 3 billion mortgaged from Dahan Silicon's shares.

The area where she plans to invest is in the technology sector.

First of all, she has absolute confidence in Kang Chi.
Secondly, as the general manager of Longteng Group for such a long time, he has a clear understanding of Kangchi’s future plans, thus having a certain information gap advantage.

This further strengthened her investment confidence and vision.

At last,
On the day she came down from Zizhu Temple, she also figured it out.

The most terrifying thing in a person’s life is not not being able to get the love you want, but not being able to find someone you truly love in this huge world.

If you really like him that much,
Why not try to tolerate and support him in everything?
Why do I have to get the "status" and "emotional feedback" that the world values ​​from him?
Although if there is, I can indeed get great satisfaction and happiness,
But the point is, he didn't give that thing to anyone else...

Who made me fall in love with someone who is obsessed with research and development and falls in love with machines all day long?

If he suddenly starts to talk sweet nothings and shows interest in women,

I can't accept it myself...

After she figured it out, she suddenly regretted her impulsiveness that day.

You shouldn't have asked for resignation.

It’s actually pretty good to be able to stay by his side and help him realize his dreams…

But if she were asked to go back on her own initiative, she would definitely not be able to bring herself to do it.

But after watching the video of the seminar at the National University of Defense Technology, she suddenly came to her senses.
You don't have to be by his side to help him realize his dream.

Since he wants the whole world to support him, she must be one of them.

"sister!"

A voice interrupted Zhang Qing's thoughts. The person who came was his cousin who had accompanied him to Xizang.

Snapped--

Lin Xue slapped a thick stack of information on the table and panted, "All the project information you asked us to collect these days is here."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Also, remember not to call me sister in the company."

"Got it, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Qing simply flipped through the information, then looked up and asked, "Tell me briefly."

"There are 31 project proposals here in total, only eight of which were planned or in progress before this month, and the rest all popped up suddenly during this period."

Zhang Qing nodded and asked, "Since you have already seen it, tell me what you think."

“I don’t understand technical stuff…”

"That's my first impression."

"Well... as for the first impression, the projects that were planned or in progress before this month seem a little more reliable, but the ones that suddenly appeared during this period seem a little hollow."

Lin Xue said as she flipped through one of the project books. "Especially for a project like this, I feel it's the most unrealistic."

【Modular and mechanized vertical farm】

After seeing the title, Zhang Qing's eyes lit up slightly. She read it carefully and quickly understood the general idea of ​​this project.

They hope to build the farm into mobile cabins, similar to containers.

At the same time, we designed a complete set of prefabricated house activity structure.

For example, if a certain board house needs to be harvested, it will be moved to a special mechanical processing unit for harvesting, followed by soil loosening, fertilization, high and low temperature pest control, sowing and other processing units.

Simply put, the function of the planting units is relatively simple. They are like trays on an assembly line, circulating in various processing units and producing continuously. This idea made Zhang Qing feel a little familiar.
Soon she recalled that this was the mobile hangar that Kang Chi had mentioned when he was talking to her about the drone carrier!
"I think this concept is pretty good. Each unit has its own function, and there isn't much waste of functions. The cost should be well controlled. Why do you think it's unrealistic?"

"That's because you've never farmed before!" Lin Xue immediately analyzed.

"My father grows one mu of rice field, and if he can produce 1000 kilograms in one season, that's good."

"But the purchase price of rice is only more than 2 yuan. After taking into account the various costs such as labor, fertilizer, and rice seeds, farmers now have little money to earn from farming. Otherwise, so many fields in rural areas would not be left uncultivated."

"Nowadays, people who grow crops in the countryside keep the crops for themselves and basically don't sell them."

"With such an unprofitable business, they are still setting up this kind of three-dimensional mechanized farm that sounds very expensive. Isn't it a sure loss?"

"I'm not saying that the problem with agriculture right now is not that there is no land to grow crops, but that there is no profit at all. The concept of doubling the arable land area of ​​vertical farms is a false proposition. There is no market for it at all!"

"Well, your analysis makes sense." Zhang Qing nodded first, then said,
"But I think that's because your perspective hasn't changed yet and you're still stuck in your previous cognition."

"Why hasn't it changed?" Lin Xue immediately retorted unconvinced.

"Even if Master Kang succeeds in developing the second-generation controlled nuclear fusion, and doesn't even need a penny for water and electricity, won't it still cost money to research and build this kind of farm? Wouldn't it be more cost-effective for me to directly contract a few pieces of wasteland with that money?"

"That's because you're too obsessed with money." Zhang Qing said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about anything other than money?"

"Something other than money?"

“Yes, first of all, it’s environmental protection.”

"We have been calling for returning farmland to forests and protecting the ecology for many years, but in order to ensure food security, red lines for farmland have been set up in many places..."

"These two apparently contradictory policies actually reflect the contradiction between food production and ecological issues, and even more so the contradiction between human development and protecting the earth."

"If we don't want the earth to become a smoky mess or even cause mass extinction due to human development, vertical farms are the best solution."

"We can turn the Earth into humanity's original backyard, restore ecological balance and biodiversity, and ensure food supply. Even if it has no economic value, the country will definitely develop in this direction in the future."

"Secondly, the fundamental problem that vertical farms solve is actually land area. This is something that humans have been fighting for since ancient times, and no one would think it is too little!"

"Finally, if Kang Chi can really lead us to complete a round of technological explosion, the liberation of productivity it brings will definitely have an unprecedented impact on the current economic system."

"Many things that you think are valuable now will become worthless in the future. For example, the vertical farms that you think are very expensive now will only become less and less expensive as technology improves and resources are developed."

"Many things that you think are worthless may actually be worth a fortune, such as fresh and clean air. In recent years, we have invested an astronomical amount of money in controlling sandstorms and smog."

After listening to Zhang Qing's analysis, Lin Xue immediately felt the huge difference in their thinking patterns.

Just feel,
I am so low!

But after she came to her senses, she couldn't help but ask, "But we are an investment company, not a non-profit organization doing environmental charity."

"If the country doesn't support this industry, or the support is not strong enough, our situation will be very difficult. After all, your money doesn't come from the wind..."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Qing shook her head. "Even if there is really no support, I think this is also a profit outlet in the future, because we are betting on the future!"

Lin Xue: “???”

Why is this becoming increasingly incomprehensible?
Looking at the confused Lin Xue, Zhang Qing smiled and asked, "What do you think will become particularly valuable after technology liberates productivity and social materials and wealth increase significantly? What will everyone pay special attention to?"

"This one……"

Lin Xue thought for a moment, imagining that he was now a very rich person, or rather, thinking directly about what the rich people today care about most.

"Medical care... health! Rich people are most afraid of death!"

"That's right, and when it comes to your health, food is actually the most important thing!"

Zhang Qing said very confidently,
"I think vertical farms can also solve the food safety problem that has been criticized for a long time!"

"If everyone now insists on pure natural and pollution-free, chickens cannot be broiler chickens in cages but must be free-range chickens, and fish cannot eat meat-growing feed but must eat grass..."

"Let's not talk about whether people can afford it. Our natural resources are not enough to provide so much pure, natural and pollution-free food. If we really want to do so, the food supply will be seriously short immediately."

"So the current food problem, in addition to the large number of profit-driven unscrupulous businessmen, is actually a more fundamental problem of insufficient resources. Therefore, we can only 'acquiesce' to these people using some 'technology' to quickly obtain a large amount of food to ensure that everyone has enough to eat. As for whether we can eat well... we can only leave it to be solved slowly in the future."

"Vertical farms can solve this problem very well. With the liberation of productivity and the improvement of the economy in the future, people's consumption will inevitably upgrade, and the advantages of vertical farms doubling their resources will gradually become more prominent."
