Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

The cost of trucks and distribution centers is 30% to 45% less than the price of vegetables on the shelf.

After deducting the electricity costs, which account for more than 60% of the total costs of the world's planting companies today, Anna's profit will be more than twice their average level.

The way to estimate costs is that all automation equipment and farm equipment are purchased at market prices.

But this is actually impossible.

Because for someone who even recycles metal raw materials from scrapped cars at zero cost and uses all automated robotic arms to rub them by hand, the cost of building a fully automated vertical farm is less than a tenth of that of those commercial companies.

If even the LED light strips can be produced by themselves, then the construction cost of such a farm will be almost nothing for Anna, except that it will be tiring.

The most important point is that in addition to reducing the fuel used to transport food, after using the pollution-free Ark reactor, Anna's method can almost completely eliminate the carbon emissions during the cultivation process of crops.

Don't think that crops emit very little carbon during cultivation.

You should know that 80% or more of carbon emissions in the agricultural sector are actually generated on farms, not during processing and transportation.

So as soon as Anna’s second type of vertical farm with the highest technology goes online.

Then she could almost completely eliminate carbon emissions from agricultural production.

Chapter 268 This wave, this wave's target is the giant outer space standard agricultural module

In the high-tech farm module designed, Anna and her team not only achieved zero emissions when using electricity on the farm, but also during construction, such as smelting metal raw materials, manufacturing automated production lines, and the most power-intensive process...

When producing LED bulbs, after using the Ark reactor, Anna and her factory can also achieve zero emissions.

This operation of reducing carbon emissions may not be noticeable in other worlds, and at most it may be praised by environmental girls and scientists.

However, in the world of Dragon Maid, this extremely environmentally friendly agricultural production model, as soon as it goes online...

When the main tone of the world is there.

Then its power will be immense.

Because Anna and the others just need to do this.

Then they can continuously receive the world's favor and more source power from the world's source power.

So there is no need to make too many choices between the two options provided by scientists.

Anna focused almost all her efforts on developing the vertical farm technology that was most suitable for her and Caichuan and their team.

As for the low-cost rotational cropping program that originated in Singapore...

This is really only suitable for Singapore and areas with plenty of sunshine like deserts.

Even though there is a free small solar light source available in Anna's magic building, the waste of space caused by its low output and the labor cost during the planting process are also a big problem for Anna.

After the cost is reduced, the low-cost advantage of the rotational planting plan during construction is gradually lost.

Of course, the first option is not completely useless to her.

After all, it is a vertical farming technology that can produce ten times the yield of traditional agriculture at a very low price.

So although it's not suitable for promotion in places like the Magic Building, where space utilization is extremely important, it's still suitable for places like the Sahara Desert on Earth where wasting space is not a concern...

This is also a good way for Anna to grow staple foods such as wheat and soybeans that don't require much care.

Especially after connecting the power to the Ark reactor, a single reactor could power hundreds of square kilometers of tower-type plantations. The cost would then be directly reduced to the ground.

You should know that this rotation planting technology only requires a water pump, some racks, planting troughs, chains, and a large glass greenhouse.

The cost of these things is almost nothing for Anna.

Because she can melt the metal she needs, burn the glass she needs, and make the motors, pipes, and water pumps she needs by herself.

Even the transportation costs to the desert area can be transported by her and Thor's dragon cranes themselves.

A small van that can carry tens of thousands of tons of steel flies past at five times the speed of sound...

The transportation cost is diluted to zero.

The cost of this is so low... even if it is used to grow staple foods such as wheat and rice, it can still make her a fortune.

As for the labor costs during sowing and harvesting...

Once machines were designed for sowing and harvesting, with workers driving back and forth between the frames, this one too would be incredibly low.

Because Anna can make this thing by herself.

Even if humans run away in the future, this rotational cropping technology can be used in some future space situations where space is not a concern and human resources are not scarce.

……

……

The most advanced farm technology isn't readily available.

In addition to converting the technology of those commercial companies into power supply for the Ark reactor, Anna's new brothers also had to raise the vertical factories that were originally only a dozen meters high to a height of one hundred meters in the floor space.

After installing various sensors, conveyor belts, and robotic arms, Anna and her team still have to think of every possible way to reduce construction and maintenance costs.

Although this world has robotics technology, it is far inferior to Anna, who can, together with Mai Mai, create Iron Man's mechanical arm with her bare hands.

Even in terms of cost, the average cost of each industrial robot in Japan is around 300 million yen. Of course, among simpler agricultural robots, more than half of the agricultural robots cost much cheaper than this 300 million yen.

However, if Anna produces the robotic arms herself, the cost can be reduced to one-tenth of that of several major Japanese manufacturers.

There is also the huge amount of LED planting light modules used, which is a huge expense in addition to the robotic arms for the scale of Anna's farm.

So if she wants to minimize costs.

Then Anna and her team would have to acquire a small robot factory and a small semiconductor factory, which would directly reduce the two major expenses of building the entire high-tech farm from the source of production.

Moreover, after receiving the commissioned scientific research orders, those scientists did not bring their own funds to grow vegetables for Anna.

So in the first stage, she has to run two new types of farms with different costs in different environments on Earth.

That is, except in his own magic building.

Anna also needs to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the two types of farms in the Sahara Desert, the Antarctic and Arctic, the center of the Pacific Ocean, and hundreds of meters underground.

And it is different from commercial companies.

They also have to study the cultivation techniques of various staple foods such as wheat, rice, soybeans and potatoes in these areas.

And after the second stage.

This commissioned scientific research project also requires Anna and her team to build a giant outer space standard agricultural module in the outer space orbit of the Earth with a regular hexagonal cross-section, a side length of 400 meters, and a length of 1000 meters.

This giant farm, which looks like a behemoth in the eyes of human countries at this stage, generates gravity by spinning. In addition to being able to grow various crops, this standard space agricultural module must also be able to raise livestock.

Even at the last moment.

This space farm must also become a small, closed mini-Earth biosphere with the least need for external supplies, the lowest energy requirements, and the strongest sustainability.

Chapter 269: Something that doesn’t even need to be understood by everyone

Finally, the ultimate goal of the UN commissioned project is to create countless real "Noah's Arks" in outer space to solve the food problem of future mankind.

The reason why Anna defeated a large number of scientists and commercial companies on Earth was that she took control of this scientific research project that had been going on for decades.

the most important reason.

Except for the floor spaces of the vine-version biological battleship, now only Anna and her family own them.

It's the ability to build giant space farms in outer space...

If the guardian does not take action, only Anna and her group can do it.

Otherwise, if we really rely on the current technological level of ordinary human countries, an international space station weighing about 440 tons would take 20 years to build, and the cost of launch, construction and operation would have cost as much as 1600 billion US dollars.

If several major countries really want to provide the launch and construction costs for the planned giant space farm facility, the money may be more than one trillion US dollars.

And when it comes to Anna...

The giant hexagonal space farm with a side length of 400 meters and a length of 1000 meters, the United Nations has assigned 100 scientific researchers to use it, and the funding for the entire project is only 100 billion US dollars.

At most, because the total weight of the giant space farm may reach hundreds of thousands of tons, Anna is allowed to go to countries such as Australia and Chile to mine for free.

Although ore costs money, no matter which country it is, this space farm is really a free distribution like super cabbage.

……

In fact, there are cheap ways to launch materials into outer space in this world. Even the guardian of the Oboborozuka District, Mado Fuzu, can use magic to send satellites directly into the sky.

As long as their abilities reach a level similar to Thor's, launching a satellite into the sky wouldn't be a big deal for them.

The cost may be just for a middle-aged man to go home and take a nap, or to add two more steamed buns to his meal.

However, high-energy creatures like the Guardians, compared with ordinary human civilization, are at the level of stellar civilization.

Before the war 20 years later.

Or rather, it was before the establishment of the Earth Unified Government.

It is impossible for the Guardians to delegate means of this level to a country formed by ordinary humans.

Just like Anna's current Ark reactor, although the Guardians and the three New Gods knew about this technology, they also tacitly allowed her to use it in her own place and company...

But apart from human countries, no one has overcome the technical difficulties on their own.

Otherwise, this controlled nuclear fusion technology would have been out of their reach before it was taken over by the United Nations.

The reason why it is like this...

In fact, the three new gods and guardians do not want humans to easily master revolutionary new technologies and become dependent on them.

Moreover, they do not want humans to become overconfident after acquiring the super technology of controlled nuclear fusion, which would affect the establishment of the Earth Unified Government 20 years later.

Basically, this kind of technology that can enable civilization to leap forward will not be provided to ordinary people by the Guardians unless it is developed by human countries themselves. Otherwise, before the formation of a community with a shared future for mankind and the unification of mankind, the Guardians will not provide it to ordinary people.

It's like Anna used the bargain price of $100 billion to build a giant farm in space for humans...

All the added value generated after its completion, as well as the scientific and technological innovations in space, can only be enjoyed after joining the United Nations system.

The same goes for the super armor, vans, and drone technologies that Anna had previously spread to those human countries.

These countries are able to produce and use it.

You can even take the products you produce to the laboratory to tinker with and study them yourself.

However, the United Nations has very strict supervision and restrictions on these things.

Because from the very beginning, Anna, at the request of the Guardians, had hidden a lot of backdoor control methods in the quantum codes of those super-powered equipment that were spread out...

If the time comes, for example, when those countries want to compete with the United Nations, Anna and the Guardians' ability to control the super-powered equipment produced by human countries will be much easier than for humans to turn on a light or press a button.

This kind of thing doesn't even need to be tacitly agreed upon by everyone.

Anna and the Guardian directly told the countries that were working hard to produce super armor that there were backdoors in the super equipment.

Anyway, the Guardian's dimensionality reduction attack is so fair and square for humans. Such a small matter is not worth Anna and the Guardians lying to ordinary people.

You have to know that more than a thousand years ago, these guardians were truly god-like creatures on Earth. Although they have been educated by the three new gods, the level of life of these guys is still there...

If the human countries on Earth really want to have equal dialogue, then they really have to develop themselves to the level of star system civilization.

This kind of relationship actually applies to Kobayashi and the others as well.

Xiaolin and Qiaoji want to truly live with Thor and now Saikawa for a long time...

Then either their lives will undergo a qualitative change and they will become advanced practitioners at the same level as the guardians.

Or it could be that human civilization has made a leap forward, directly conquering the technology of consciousness transfer and cloning without side effects.

Otherwise, the difference in life levels between the two parties is too great, and in the end, they will only end up in separation of life and death.

The end of science is mythology.

In other words, only when science develops to a high enough level can it be on par with mythical figures like Anna.

Why did the elder sister Erkoya, who always squinted her eyes and seemed to care about nothing, seem so indifferent to the affairs of Thor and Xiaolin...

It's because Lord Quetzalcoatl, who plays around in the human world all day long, has already experienced the life and death separation of a special person in the life of a young dragon like Thor.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, it has come up every few hundred years, and once every thousand years...

Over the years, Erkoya has met 'Xiao Lin' dozens of times in her dragon life.
