silent farm

Chapter 209
In fact, Li Sheng didn't know whether investing [-] million US dollars, Feng Xiaoting's research results would bring him benefits.But he still decided to invest.Feng Xiaoting's research was like that before, he didn't understand what he was researching at all.However, he felt that maybe a small discovery in the research process could be transformed into the productivity of the farm, or directly bring him benefits.

That was a gamble, and now he had enough money to gamble.Why doesn't he gamble?
All he knew now was that Feng Xiaoting had to be caught.After some recent incidents, Li Sheng deepened this idea again.

He thought for a while and said: "Cooperating with Huaxia, other countries will definitely turn their attention to the farm. You are the only one doing scientific research on the farm. They must be watching you. For your safety, I will equip you with two bodyguards. On the farm, they will not get too close to you, nor will they interfere with your life. If you want to go out, they will give you close protection. In addition, Feng Xiaoru, I will also tell Cao Mo to pay attention."

Feng Xiaoting thought for a while and said, "Thank you." Although it didn't feel good to be followed by others, the previous experience of being imprisoned by gangsters and forced to do marijuana research let him know that Li Sheng's arrangement may not be superfluous.

Li Sheng didn't have anything to say, so he stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you. If you need anything, you can find Thomas, or you can find me directly."

After leaving the laboratory, Li Sheng approached Thomas and asked him to leave [-] million reais as a research fund for the laboratory.And explained that he tried his best to meet the needs of the laboratory.Then I returned to the villa after seeing that there was nothing to do.

The farm seems to be very busy at the end of this rainy season, and no worker is idle.But Li Sheng, the boss, mainly talks.

But he also has a lot to do.For example, prepare to increase the production capacity of bees.These bear peaks have been breeding for a year, if it is not that there are not enough hives, maybe they have separated new bee colonies.What Li Sheng has to do is to have people make new hives.

The wood needed for the hive is only available in the space.He needs to go in and cut wood, and then take it out to dry to make the honeycomb.The farm is understaffed, and Thomas can only hire temporary workers.Most of these temporary workers are Indians.They are the best at carpentry.

This time I went to Huaxia to meet Tia and learned that Chen Bo would give her a box of honey every month.And the little girl seems to like drinking honey water very much.Yes, other women use honey that is at least five times more expensive than ordinary wild honey as facial cleanser, and they only use about two or three grams a day.But Tia used it for drinking, and she had to drink two to three cups a day, about [-] grams a day.

Of course Li Sheng didn't think that girl was a prodigal, he thought that honey was originally for drinking.But he still just knew that girl likes to drink honey water.

He had previously discovered four peaks with artificial breeding value, but the honey that is now being cultivated has the highest yield.Either the nutritional value of the other three is not comparable, or the yield is too low.

The one with low yield, after testing and analysis, is the one with the most nutrient content.It's just that their output is too low.A box of honey can only find fifteen catties of honey at most in a year.But raising bees doesn't have to be for money, since that girl likes to drink honey water, he wants to give her the best.

The one that produces this kind of honey is also a kind of bear peak, and they also like to build their nests in specific tree holes.Li Sheng didn't intend to sell this honey either, he just wanted to produce some for himself.If Tia was alone, perhaps seven or eight litters would be enough.But since he went to look for it, of course Li Sheng couldn't just find a few litters.

There are not a lot of this kind of bear peaks in the space, even more than the ones that are being raised on the farm.It is easy for him to find enough resources.If it weren't for his inability to preserve too much honey, maybe he could harvest [-] to [-] catties of honey at the same time.

While he was busy teaching people how to install new hives, he kept a close eye on the wheat output.Time passed unknowingly for a month.By this time the rainy season was over.Although occasionally there will be a convective rain at noon, but it is only a shower.

Because the output of wheat has been stepped up, the output of dry pasture has been reduced a lot.Fernando came to the door specially because of this matter.

"Li, you can't do this! This year's drought will definitely be severe. Maybe there will be no navigation for a few months. The output of pasture must be guaranteed." Fernando is quite satisfied with the growth of pasture sales in Brazil.But according to this growth rate, he needs to store more dry pasture.Otherwise, in the late dry season, there will not be enough pasture.

Li Sheng also knew that this was a contradiction.But he can't help it.He had to get the wheat out early.Otherwise, Huaxia would not be able to grow wheat seeds this year.

He thought for a while before saying to Fernando, who was dissatisfied, "Find a few more boats. I'll buy more conveyor belts. Speed ​​up the shipment." Now the farm's wharf is still the old-fashioned crane. "I will also find ways to speed up the efficiency of crane hoisting."

Fernando saw that he didn't want to get in, so he could only agree with Li Sheng's improvement plan.It’s just that he’s not satisfied: “Okay. Buying a few more conveyor systems should speed things up a bit. But maybe it’s just one more boat a day at most.” A boat can only carry a maximum of [-] tons of pasture.

Li Sheng also knew that the efficiency of the conveyor belt was actually very low.Adding a few sets is just better than nothing.What he wanted was to speed up the efficiency of the crane hoisting.He thought for a while and said: "You let those ships install some bayonets in the cabin. I will let the workers first load the pasture on the wooden boards, just like a container, and can lift more than ten tons at a time. That will be much faster." In fact, this method is used in grain transportation.

It's just that after the grain is hoisted onto the ship, a bag needs to be moved into the cabin.But pasture is not used.

Fernando understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, because he had also seen the method of internal transportation of the farm's grain.If this method is followed, the efficiency of pasture shipments can be increased by at least two times.And it can save a lot of time in unloading and transport.He could indeed find a few more ships.

"Okay, I'll arrange the boat right now."

After sending Fernando away, Li Sheng still needs to consider sending the rice to Huaxia.What was sent this time was rice with husks.Feng Xiaoting's experiments have proved that this kind of rice also has natural immunity to X virus.And in the past month.Worldwide, the number of isolated X viruses capable of infecting rice has reached 63 species.The area of ​​rice that has been found to be infested has exceeded 350 million hectares.In most of the world's rice-producing countries, there is still one to two months to harvest.During this time, it is unknown how many new virus variants and infected areas will be added.

The Agriculture and Food Agency has issued a rice production reduction warning.It is estimated that world rice production this year will drop by 10% to 15% year-on-year.This reduction in production has been very large.

Huaxia was notified by Li Sheng that there was rice that was immune to the X virus, and they requested to purchase all the rice produced by Silent Farm this time.Of course Li Sheng disagreed.According to China's rice planting area, at most only 20 tons of original seeds are needed.If there are too many, they are just eaten, so even if they want to sell to Huaxia, except for enough seeds, the rest can only be sold in the form of rice.

You know, the total output of this crop of Silent Farm is as high as 90 tons of rice.

In order to deceive others, the transaction price between them is based on the regular price, and Li Sheng would earn more if he sold rice.So he only agreed to sell 25 tons.others.He doesn't have to worry about it, before the news spreads, he will have no problem rolling all the rice into rice.

It's just that this batch of rice must be shipped out as soon as possible.Moreover, because the arable land on the farm does not have enough wheat seeds of the first generation, some of them are only produced by the laboratory's one acre.Only a part of the original seeds can be planted, and these original seeds must be disposed of as soon as possible after they are harvested, either by shelling or by chemical treatment.In short, the original species that can develop normally cannot be left to prevent the original species from being stolen.

But the area where wheat is planted is not large, and such a large piece of land is vacant, which makes people feel suffocated.He found a sesame seed in the space that seemed to be pretty good.Wild sesame, one fruit has eight chambers, and one plant has 32 fruits.He also collected some out.It's just that he doesn't have that much time to collect enough seeds.

After collecting for a few days, it is possible to plant hundreds of acres.About [-] catties of seeds are needed for these [-] mu. For such [-] catties of seeds, Li Sheng worked hard for several days to collect them.Other places can also grow peanuts, soybeans, corn and the like.But these are plantings collected from space.There are not many peanuts and soybeans, but corn seeds are the easiest to collect and there are a lot of them.Only a fraction of all arable land can be planted.

In the end, Li Sheng simply decided to plant black potatoes on the rest of the land.That thing can be stored for a long time.

After discussing with Zhang Feng about arranging the next crop, Li Sheng found Babur again.Because Zhang Feng was already in charge of a lot of things, Babur was in charge of grass harvesting.He came to Babur just to find out if there was any way to improve the efficiency of pasture harvesting.

It is said that after the speed of loading ships at the terminal is accelerated, the speed of pasture harvesting is a bit behind.

After knowing Li Sheng's intentions, Babur suggested that Li Sheng go to see it.

They flew the helicopter to the meadow where the hay was being harvested.A row of ten large lawn mowers mows all the pasture on the 80-meter-wide meadow.The cut pasture is left on the grass, waiting to dry.

The two went down to the ground, and Babur said: "The lawn mower produced by Huaxia works very well. The cut grass will be three to four centimeters long, and the grass will not be pulled up."

"How long does it take pasture to dry?"

"It depends on the weather. If the weather is like the present, the storage requirements can be met in at most two days. At that time, there will be a baler tractor to bale the dry pasture. The efficiency of the baler tractor is relatively slow. One can only pack a day at most. Three acres. That’s because there’s a lot more hay per unit than we thought. So the baler tractors are going a lot slower.”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "You mean to buy more baler tractors?"

"Yes. And there are more delivery trucks."

"You calculate how much you need to replenish, and ask Thomas to contact the supplier."

"it is good."

They went to look at the packed grass again.

Li Sheng was walking on the grass, and found that under the dried pasture was a light yellow-green pasture about ten centimeters high: "These pastures grow very quickly." And they didn't turn white because the sun was covered.

Babur also nodded and said: "This is indeed a very strange place. Although green manure was applied before mowing the grass, it stands to reason that they should not grow so fast because the dry grass blocks the sunlight."

Although Li Sheng is not sure, he guesses that it is because their roots are connected.It's just that he won't say it.
