silent farm

Chapter 307 There is crude oil, but there are also long-term worries
During the period when he first returned to the farm, Li Sheng was quite busy.After dealing with Finn's affairs, he went to the apiary to see the progress of the expansion.Although it has only been away for more than half a month, the construction progress here is not slow.The efficiency of those built between the trees is slower, but the ones built directly in the open space are not slow.Although several floors have to be built, it is not difficult for the engineering team to build it with large logs more than 20 meters high.

However, even if these bee farms are built, it will take a long time to play their due role.He intends to expand production not only to increase the production of honey, but also to provide more raw materials for Nanguang Pharmaceutical to make rheumatic medicinal wine.It will take at least half a year to do this.

After seeing the project, Li Sheng approached Cheng Dong and said, "How is the preparation of the new hive going?"

"Twenty thousand have been made. It should be possible to reach [-] in a month." Cheng Dong thought for a while and said. "We have tried it. As long as there is a suitable hive, it is not difficult to introduce this kind of bee. A few days ago, we did an experiment. After placing a piece of hive in a new hive, a new queen bee appeared soon."

Li Sheng gave Cheng Dong an appreciative look.He didn't explain this matter, but Cheng Dong had already done it.He smiled and said, "That's good. If you need anything, you can find Lao Zhang."

He remembered one thing: "How is the production of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest now?"

Cheng Dong said with a smile: "There is not much rain now, but it is still very humid. Especially at night when the temperature drops in the forest, there is always dew in the bamboo forest. Although the production of bamboo shoots has decreased a lot, there are still a lot. The same is true for sun. The output is about half less than before, but the daily output is very stable. I think it can be collected for about half a month."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You talk to Lao Zhang about this. Let him prepare how to arrange those workers."

"I will."

After explaining to Cheng Dong, he went to the rose greenhouse.On the way, he saw workers covering the Xiangxi water with cement slabs.This is what he explained before leaving.This not only prevents Xiangxi water from being diluted too thin during the rainy season, but also prevents too much evaporation during the dry season.

The cultivation of Xiangxi roses and mulberry trees was also the job he had assigned before he left, so he went to take a trip to see the progress.

The cuttings were placed in the greenhouse, and Li Sheng went into one of the seedling greenhouses, where someone was watering.It was the person in charge of these greenhouses, this girl named Luo Fangfang, an agricultural college student recruited from Huaxia the year before last.

This 22-year-old girl is very serious about her work.Almost all the roses in the previous rose greenhouses survived, as can be seen from this.

Luo Fangfang looks very ordinary, but her eyes are always lively.Seeing Li Sheng approaching, she didn't let go of her work, and waited until Li Sheng came to her side before turning off the nozzle and saying hello to him: "Boss."

Li Sheng glanced at the cuttings in the seedling bag, and found that many sprouts had begun to emerge. He nodded to her and said, "The survival rate of this batch is quite high."

Luo Fangfang nodded and said, "Boss, the survival rate of this batch should exceed 95%."

"Well, good. When do you think it can be transplanted?"

Luo Fangfang thought for a while and said, "It should be ready this week. Those that have been planted, some branches can already be used for cuttings."

"Really?"

"Spring is the fastest growing period for plants. Especially the roses in the greenhouse grow very fast, and there are already new branches that can be cut. Those mulberry trees were not good before, but now they can also be cut for cuttings Cultivate." Luo Fangfang said with a smile. "It's just that if you use those roses that have already been planted, you need to pay attention. If the pruning is not reasonable, it may affect the first flowering harvest."

Li Sheng heard her say this: "Xiao Luo, you studied flowers before? And do you think these roses will bloom this year?"

Luo Fangfang shyly said: "We are just junior college students, and we don't have such detailed subjects. We just learned the basics of planting. The knowledge of planting flowers is learned from books recently." She paused and continued to answer Li Sheng's question. question. "I found the soil here to be very fertile and the roses should have reached sexual maturity with a fairly well-developed root system. They will probably start blooming today."

Li Sheng didn't understand this thing.Regardless of whether what Luo Fangfang said was right or not, Li Sheng still admired such a person who knew how to improve himself.He nodded and said: "If it really blooms, you have a lot of credit."

"Boss, this is mainly because the soil is very good. And even if there is credit, it is also the credit of everyone in our flower planting department."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "It's all due. You are busy, I will go to other greenhouses to have a look." He already feels that Luo Fangfang will be responsible for planting these flowers in the future.

In other greenhouses for growing roses, Li Sheng found that the newly grown branches of the roses here were indeed old enough, and some of them could be trimmed for cuttings.New shoots are still developing.Cuttings from these very young branches will definitely not work, but they should be mature enough to produce flower buds in another two months.

After seeing several greenhouses, the neat greenhouses and the orderly work of the workers gave him more trust in Luo Fangfang's ability.

After seeing the greenhouse, he went to Sangtian to have a look.He found that the growth of mulberry trees was also very vigorous, and he thought it was time for him to speed up the cultivation of colorful silkworms.

He was about to find the two worm experts when he received a call from Feng Xiaoting.

Feng Xiaoting said on the phone that he was waiting for him in the villa.He felt a little strange.It was less than two days since Feng Xiaoting took away the water he took out from the space, so why did he come to look for him.Could it be that there is something wrong with the experiment?

He changed direction and returned to the villa, and saw Feng Xiaoting waiting for him outside the gate of the villa.

Seeing him, Feng Xiaoting greeted him and said, "Boss, let's talk outside."

Li Sheng's heart skipped a beat.Feng Xiaoting's caution is not limited to experiments.He has a strong sense of secrecy.If there is something that needs to be kept secret, Feng Xiaoting will find a place where there is no one outside to talk to him.This may be due to his earlier experiences.

He saw Feng Xiaoting's serious face, and knew that he had something very important to negotiate.He nodded and said, "We'll talk as we walk."

After they walked more than 100 meters from the courtyard of the villa, Feng Xiaoting said: "Boss, the water I brought back the day before yesterday did have a layer of oily flowers after entering it for a day."

Li Sheng was not surprised by this at all.

However, what Feng Xiaoting said next made him pay attention: "There are indeed some anaerobic and light-proof bacteria in the water. There is almost no dissolved oxygen in the water, and there is very little carbon dioxide. Other substances have not been tested. But I suspect those Bacteria are bacteria that can use carbon dioxide as a carbon source for metabolism, and the products of metabolism are hydrocarbons, which are components of petroleum."

He said it looked like Li Sheng had a flat face, and he knew that these bosses might have known it already.He said in a deep voice, "Boss, you plan to use this water to artificially produce oil. But I suggest that you don't expose this before you have the ability to fight against the world."

Li Sheng stood still abruptly, chewed his words, frowned and asked, "You mean, this thing will make me fight against the whole world?"

Feng Xiaoting nodded and said, "I do have this worry."

Li Sheng looked into his eyes and asked, "Why do you feel that way?"

"The two world wars in the last century were to compete for market and world dominance. When super weapons came out, the theme of the world became development, because no one could afford the loss of war. The world has indeed been developing Nearly a hundred years. But the development of the past hundred years has also turned the main thing that countries in the world compete for into the energy to maintain their own development."

"Energy?" Li Sheng thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable.

Competing for the market is the theme of the industry in the second half of the last century.In the 21st century, there is no country that cannot completely control the world, and markets around the world have also been cultivated, although the competition for the market is still fierce.But until now, the competition among the world's major powers has changed from the essence of market competition, from capital accumulation to self-sustainable development.

Energy is a necessary and sufficient condition for sustainable development.Therefore, the competition among countries for energy control is very fierce.With energy, we can continue to develop, without energy, development will stagnate.

Feng Xiaoting saw that he was thinking, and continued: "The world's most powerful economies have their own development strategies. The United States has always been the world's leader. It controls the world's major energy sources. But it is also challenged by China, and even Europe and chickens. Pan also has the strength to challenge him. But neither Huaxia nor Jipan has enough confidence to beat the United States in terms of energy competition. So they vigorously develop electric vehicles. The United States is still the world's largest oil consumer, But they don't pay as much attention to the development of new energy as other countries."

Li Sheng didn't understand what he meant by saying this.

Feng Xiaoting said in a low voice: "I think it is possible to speculate maliciously that the hawks in the United States are waiting to start another world war. But at this stage, the support for the war in the United States is not high, and he is not sure that he can defeat China alone. They can still be the world leader. So they need to wait for the world situation to change, let the Americans support the war, and at the same time give them the opportunity to pull Europe around again. But China is vigorously developing new energy sources, and I think it is also preparing for a new world In the event of a major war, the dependence on oil can be reduced. At the same time, it also means avoiding being the target of public criticism."

Li Sheng looked at him strangely and said, "Aren't you a scientist? Why do you look like a politician to me?"

Feng Xiaoting smiled and said, "I just got used to thinking wildly during the period when I was held hostage by drug dealers. Who cares if the world is what I think it is?"

"I care!" Li Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice. "If it's really like what you said. If I really come up with a man-made technology that can produce a large amount of oil, it will indeed become the meat of Tang Monk and turn the gods all over the world into monsters."

Feng Xiaoting's face was also full of seriousness, and he said: "But this is something that has a more important impact on the world than nuclear weapons. It would be a waste if you don't use it."

Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "It seems a bit early to say this now. How efficient is the production of this thing is another matter."

"The beginning of any technology is not ideal. But everyone wants a promising technology."
