What restricts the development of agriculture in the Loess Plateau region is its special landform of thousands of ravines.
This landform has led to the popularity of agricultural planting methods such as [terraces] in this area.
[Terraces] are strip-shaped terraced or wavy cross-section fields built along the contour lines on hilly slopes. They are an effective measure to control soil erosion in sloping farmland. They have significant effects on water storage, soil conservation, and increasing yields.<
/p>
[Terraces] have good ventilation and light transmission conditions, which is conducive to crop growth and the accumulation of nutrients.
According to the different slopes of the fields, there are [horizontal terraces], [slope terraces], [reverse slope terraces], [duplex terraces], etc.
The width of [terraced fields] depends on the ground slope, soil thickness, farming methods, labor force and economic conditions, and is planned in a unified manner with irrigation and drainage systems and traffic roads.
The terraces whose slope is higher on the outside and lower on the inside after horizontal step land preparation are called [reverse slope terraces].
[Reverse Slope] The degree varies depending on the slope of the barren hill, generally 300-500,
If the slope is narrow, the slope will be larger, otherwise it will be smaller.
The field width is 1.5 meters to 3 meters. The length depends on the degree of terrain fragmentation.
The outer slope and inner slope of the ridge are both 600.
Inverse slope terraces can improve site conditions, store water and conserve soil, and are suitable for flat slopes with heavy water and soil erosion. They are also commonly used terraces on the Loess Plateau, but they are more labor-intensive to build.
China began to have [terraced fields] at least during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Because rice cultivation requires large areas of ponds, the southeastern provinces of China are more hilly than plain terrain suitable for rice cultivation.
In order to solve the food problem, farmers who immigrated here built "terraces" and used dams to conserve water sources, making it possible to plant rice in large areas in hilly areas and solving the local food problem.
However, the cultivation of [terraced fields] consumes much more manpower than in plains, without any advantage in yield, and it seriously damages the vegetation in hilly areas, so this farming method is gradually being eliminated and continues to be used only as a tourism resource.
Exists.
On the Loess Plateau, [terraces] are a must.
Whether it is in water storage and soil conservation or in solving local food shortages, it has an irreplaceable role.
But [Terraces] also has a problem, it’s very labor-intensive!
Although the state encourages and supports the promotion of terrace construction in the Loess Plateau according to local conditions, it guides relevant provinces to include sloping farmland plots that meet the project conditions into the scope of high-standard farmland construction, carry out comprehensive management and construction of sloping farmland, prevent water and soil erosion, efficiently utilize farmland resources, and focus on
Improve agricultural production conditions in the Loess Plateau, ensure national food security, and introduce various comprehensive management mechanisms in order to effectively improve the efficiency of terrace utilization and realize agricultural modernization on the Loess Plateau.
The effect is still there, but it is still far from the standard of success.
One of the important factors restricting agricultural modernization on the Loess Plateau is that a series of agricultural machinery suitable for use on terraces with a slope greater than eight degrees has not yet been developed, so agriculture cannot truly develop.
Due to the unique terrain of the Loess Plateau, conventional agricultural machinery has no place here, which makes promoting [terraced field] agricultural mechanization an important step in accelerating the construction of a modern agricultural production system.
In the Loess Plateau area, there is a need to develop a small, intelligent, multi-functional, combined agricultural robot that is suitable for full-scale mechanized rice operations in terraces and small fields. It has the ability to climb uphill hills and walk on flat ground, and can also automatically cultivate and sow land.
, planting, harvesting.
This places high demands on technology.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the fruit picking robot. During the picking process, the biggest and most urgent problem that needs to be solved is the real-time identification of fruits and inaccurate positioning.
In addition, recognition and positioning research based on machine vision technology has also fallen into a bottleneck.
Previously, recognition and positioning research based on machine vision technology was the mainstream trend; however, after years of research and practice, this problem has still not been solved well and has fallen into a bottleneck period.
But these problems are not a problem at all for [Chaoqun Group], or for Wu Siyuan.
In Wu Siyuan's [Shennongjiao Space], there are more than a dozen agricultural [Transformers] working diligently.
From them, you can get the most basic mechanical structure diagram. As long as the [Four-Armed King Kong] is slightly modified, you can easily design an adaptable agricultural machine or agricultural robot.
In order not to "shock the world", Wu Siyuan might even let the "Four-Armed King Kong" weaken its performance.
This is the hardware aspect.
In terms of software, that is, the algorithm, Wu Siyuan does not need to worry. Using the source code of "Four-Armed King Kong" as a blueprint, it is a piece of cake to develop an artificial intelligence that is dedicated to the agricultural industry and can continuously learn. In fact, before Wu Siyuan decided to invest in the Loess Plateau, the scientific research team of [Chaoqun Group] had already come up with (cheating) a mature terrace robot and applied for hundreds of patents for this purpose.
[Chaoqun Group], through technology licensing, customizes parts in various industrial-related companies across the country, and finally assembles them in domestic OEM companies, forming a general robot industry chain similar to [Apple Industry Chain].
Unlike the [Apple industry chain] that threatens to be transferred out at every turn, this robot industry chain led by [Chaoqun Group] can meet more than 95% of the national production standards. There is no need to worry about being like [Warwick], because
As it developed and expanded, it was sanctioned by others and threatened to cut off the supply of core chips.
[Chaoqun Group] immediately ordered 1 million parts of [Terrace Robot] and sent them to the OEM factory for assembly. Finally, they will be shipped to various areas on the Loess Plateau according to demand.
[Terrace robot] is of course very expensive and not something ordinary farmers can afford.
Therefore, [Chaoqun Group] will establish [Special Agricultural Machinery Production and Lending Companies] in various places on the Loess Plateau. According to the development model of [Leading Enterprise Cooperative Farmers], [Chaoqun Group] will replicate the past successful experience of [Chaoqun Group] in various places on the Loess Plateau. Under the guidance of the local government
With the assistance and supervision, establish an agricultural cooperative with a village or a combination of multiple villages as the basic unit, gather the strength of farmers in the agricultural cooperative, and rent special agricultural robots from the [Special Agricultural Machinery Production Leasing Company] of [Chaoqun Group].<
/p>
These agricultural robots, which possess a number of important intellectual property rights from [Chaoqun Group], can realize full-scale mechanized operations of crops under complex geological conditions, focusing on typical scenarios such as large altitude differences in [terraces] and long and narrow [terraces] on the Loess Plateau.
Plowing, planting, and harvesting machinery are integrated into one. You can go into the field and work by yourself, and you only need to operate it on your mobile phone or computer.
