Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 900 894. The Nightmare of Tianhan Children
China's delicious mushrooms are starting to hit the market in small quantities.

It instantly attracted a large number of diners.

It’s just that the price is still high, the output is low, and it is sometimes unavailable.

It is only well-known among some people in Tianhan City.

At most, there will be a small number of tourists’ Moments and VLOGs.

Not very famous.

The action that will truly make it famous is still in preparation and it is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

However, the cultivation in Ping'angou laboratory has achieved a breakthrough.

Thanks to the hard work of Ma Zhitao, Professors Mao and Wang and their teams, and with the support of high-throughput cultivation acceleration technology that has opened up readily available scientific research equipment.

It's so cool.

The first difficulty in producing delicious Chinese mushrooms has been solved: production.

Ma Zhitao used standard mushroom stick substrate for cultivation, the main ingredients of which were soybean straw and corn cobs.

One kilogram of substrate yields 138 grams of mushrooms.

Compared to its close relative Agaricus bisporus, one kilogram of substrate yields 323 grams of mushrooms.

It can't be compared with anything else.

For example, Ping'angou produces the most oyster mushrooms. One kilogram of substrate can produce 1.18 kilograms, and the weight of the mushrooms is more than the substrate.

When Professor Mao arrived, he took out the matrix they were using.

The main material is rice straw, and after planting it was found that one kilogram of substrate yielded 124 grams, which is not as good as corn cob straw.

This shouldn't happen. These mushrooms grow on rotten reeds and should be suitable for decomposing grass.

Then try reed.

After trying it, I found that there was indeed a change. One kilogram of reed substrate could produce 245 grams of mushrooms.

It turns out that it is not suitable for eating grass, but for eating reeds.

This means that the direction is correct and we just need to continue researching in this direction.

But there is a problem when growing mushrooms with reeds.

Reeds are not a crop, no one grows them.

There are a lot of these things. As long as there is water, whether it is by the river or by the pond, they are everywhere.

But this thing is not easy to harvest. Large machines cannot reach into the wet shallows, so it can only be harvested by manpower.

One step deep, one shallow, his feet sank into the mud with every step. He was sweating profusely as he waved the sickle, and kept spatting out dirt.

I finally managed to cut a large bundle, which I couldn't even hold in my arms. I weighed it and it was five and a half kilograms...

It’s so shocking!
Reeds are too light, weighing no more than 400 kilograms per acre.

The mushrooms have to be fermented before they can be made into bags, and only 300 kilograms will be left after fermentation.

And the dosage.

Take Luo Yihang for example, he consumes 500 tons of base materials a month, and 6,000 tons a year.

Forty thousand acres of reed marshes need to be cleared.

Will it cause ecological problems?

This is just Luo Yihang's family. Once China's delicious mushrooms are promoted and demand comes, and the production scale is expanded, will the wild reed marshes be able to supply them?

Even if it can be afforded.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of reed marshes need to be harvested manually, and how many workers will be needed and how much wages will be paid.

What price should the grown mushrooms be sold for?

When doing things, you can't just focus on the present.

Reeds definitely won’t work, we have to find a substitute.

Now that production has increased, we need to find base materials.

Anyway, just pass them one level at a time.

Each party looked for people and contacted scientific research institutes and agricultural technology stations across the country.

I actually found a plant that can replace reeds.

Phragmites australis.

Reed is a plant of the genus Phragmites in the subfamily Arundoideae of the Poaceae family.

The two are quite closely related, within the fifth generation of mourning.

In addition, both of them grow in tropical and subtropical regions, need to be close to water sources, usually near rivers and lakes, and are not particularly demanding on soil. However, reeds are more adaptable to a wider range of temperatures and are distributed throughout the country.

Phragmites prefer warmer weather, mainly in the south.

Just because they are closely related, they grew up in similar environments.

Therefore, the ingredients of the two are similar. The main ingredients are cellulose, hemicellulose, protein, amino acids, vitamin C, aldehyde, etc.
After testing, it was found that using reed as the substrate, one kilogram of Chinese delicious mushrooms can produce 217 grams.

It's pretty much the same as using reeds.

But the costs vary greatly.

Because there is a very special variety among reeds.

Hangyu-1, which has been to space.

In 13, he went into space on the Shenzhou spacecraft and conducted space mutagenesis experiments.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

A super type of Phragmites australis that was selected after returning to Earth.

A mature plant can grow to six or seven meters in height, with a yield of five to ten tons per mu.

Even if it is still harvested manually, the efficiency is much higher than that of reeds.

Moreover, Phragmites australis is drought-resistant, waterlogged-resistant, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and has strong tolerance to salinity and alkali. It can thrive in poor soil and polluted land, and can be planted in a wide range of areas.

In fact, the main purpose of cultivating this thing is to fix carbon emissions and reduce emissions, and to use it as a bioenergy raw material as a substitute for fossil energy.

Every ton of reed bamboo growing requires absorbing 1.7 tons of carbon dioxide from the air, which is 25 to 40 times the carbon absorption capacity of the forest.

One ton of dry reed can produce 270 cubic meters of natural gas, or 150 cubic meters of natural gas and 260 kilograms of biofuel.

The calorific value is higher than that of lignite. Even if it cannot be added to cars, it is not known whether it can be used to make steel, but it can definitely be used to generate electricity and heat.

It can also be used to make boards, paper, feed, etc.

There are many benefits.

So it is a key national project.

But there are also disadvantages.

This thing needs a lot of water to grow. Forget about it in the saline-alkali land in arid areas, and it's also impossible to grow on the seashore. It's six or seven meters tall, and it's so thin and tall that it will fall over if the wind blows.

However, these shortcomings have no impact on Tianhan at all.

Tianhan is located inland, so there are no strong winds. At most, there is a mountain breeze, which is very strong at level three or four. Level five or six are rare.

The average wind speed is about level one, a gentle breeze, blowing through the sea of ​​flowers and rice flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers is wafting in the air, that's all.

As for water, there is no shortage of it.

How much water is there in the Han River and the Jialing River?

Adding the Baohe River, Jushui River, Weishui River, etc., not counting the streams, there are more than 570 rivers alone.

There are also more than 300 reservoirs, more than 300 lakes, and nearly 500,000 hectares of wetlands.

The annual water resource income is 73.5 billion cubic meters.

Taking all the industries, agriculture and residents into account, the total usage is only 15 billion cubic meters. It is an enormous amount of water and it is open for free use.

This delicious Chinese mushroom truly belongs to Tianhan.

Born in the desert of Xinjiang and grew up in a water town in the northwest, both are from the five northwestern provinces, so it is not considered a long journey.

This is the Northwest again, well, the body is so flexible...
-
Later, when one after another production bases of delicious Chinese mushrooms and edible fungi sprang up.

Super Phragmites has also settled in Tianhan and is planted along the canals and rivers, becoming an additional source of income for the villagers in Tianhan village.

You don't need to take care of this thing. Just plant it and harvest it when it grows tall. You can sell it to a mushroom bag factory and make money.

Although it’s not much, it’s light, has a high yield, and doesn’t take up much farmland.

Small amounts add up to a decent profit.

It’s okay to add a large appliance to your home throughout the year.

Then.

Reed became a nightmare for the children of Tianhan.

This thing is straight, light and long. It can be found everywhere along the riverbanks. You can just pick one up.

Slapping the buttocks is so easy...
