Chapter 1208 Agricultural harvest of private collars
Agricultural area, Zhang Fan came here today. The construction of the entire agricultural area is still continuing. However, some buildings have begun to be produced.
Building No. 5 is named directly with simple numbers. Building No. 5 grows rice, but it is not ordinary rice, but high-yielding genetically modified rice.
This kind of rice not only has high yield, but also has a short growth cycle. In the building, it can be harvested six times a year. The yield per mu is as low as 2,400 kilograms.
However, the taste of this kind of rice is not very good, and the nutritional content is not as high as that of high-quality rice. Apart from these, it has no shortcomings.
However, because they are genetically modified crops, nothing will be seen in a short time. No one can say whether there will be any side effects in the long term.
But this is nothing to Zhang Fan, because the rice will not be eaten by private collectors. The main purpose of this batch of rice is international aid.
Especially in African countries, the main purpose of these rice is to assist them. For those countries in extreme poverty, being able to eat is already a grateful thing, and they will still find the food not delicious.
"Chairman, it's time to harvest..."
The agricultural expert looked at the situation of the rice and said with a smile.
"Then start harvesting..."
Zhang Fan nodded, and the staff directly controlled the computer. The fully automated harvesting machine immediately started busy.
The automated machine directly cuts off the rice ears, and the rice ears are directly transferred to the drying room through a conveyor.
After being dried in the drying room, it enters the peeling room. After peeling, it becomes white rice. The peeled rice is directly filled into bags through cash equipment.
"Chairman, after testing, the yield per mu has reached expectations. The average yield per mu is 2,456 kilograms, the polished rice yield per mu is 2,036 kilograms, and the rice yield rate has reached 82%..."
The staff quickly reported it, and the data was monitored in real time. How many acres were harvested, how much rice was produced, and how much polished rice was produced.
The data is clearly known, and the automatic harvesting is very fast. So the data comes out quickly and there is no change.
When growing indoors, the climate conditions are very strictly controlled. They all have the same seeds, the same climate, and the same nutrients, so the yield per mu is basically the same.
The yield per mu is 2,036 kilograms of rice, which is very high. You must know that there are 500 layers of this kind of rice planted in this building.
With an average height of two meters per floor, this type of rice plant is only about one meter tall. The rest of the space is used for ventilation and lighting. All of this is designed.
2036 kilograms is equivalent to a yield per mu of a ton. Even if it is one ton, the yield of one layer is 1500 tons.
With 500 floors, the output of this building is as high as 750,000 tons each time. This is polished rice, not rice.
A building can be harvested six times a year, so this building can produce 4.5 million tons of rice a year. This output is very scary.
You must know that China has the largest rice production during the New Year. The annual output of polished rice produced last year was only 180 million tons.
Now in the private sector, one building can produce 4.5 million tons of polished rice every year. And Zhang Fan plans to build a hundred such buildings.
Just to plant this kind of rice, one hundred buildings would be built. One hundred buildings would only cover an area of 100 square kilometers, which is only 150,000 acres when converted into acres.
But if you include the levels, it is equivalent to 75 million acres of land. In China, on average, rice is only harvested twice a year.
But inside the building, there are six crops a year, which is three times more. Calculating this, one hundred such buildings are equivalent to 225 million acres of rice cultivated land in China.
This data is terrible. This kind of technology has completely aerialized the cultivated land area. Although the investment in each building is relatively large, the benefits are also very large.
Now in the private sector, the cost of printing a 1,000-meter-long building like this is about 10 billion yuan.
A building can produce 4.5 million tons of milled rice every year. Even if the price of each meal of milled rice is only 1,000 yuan, the annual income from the sale of rice will be 4.5 billion yuan.
As for the planting cost, it is very low, at most one-third of the cost. So a building has a net profit of at least 3 billion yuan every year.
If you follow this price, you can definitely recover the cost in four years at most. And the life of this kind of building is very long, and the building life of new materials must be at least two to three hundred years.
This is a very good deal for a country. It not only saves costs, but also saves a lot of land.
The large amount of land saved can be used to do more things. At the same time, it can also free up more labor. The cost of 10 billion includes the cost of internal automation equipment.
One building can produce 450 tons of polished rice a year, and 100 buildings can produce 450 million tons of rice every year.
With this food, Zhang Fan can provide assistance on a large scale. At the same time, he can directly control the food lifeline of these countries.
If it enters the market, this low-cost rice can directly destroy other competitors in terms of price.
This is the confidence of the private sector. Now many countries want to introduce optical fiber. They also want to learn from the private sector to build this kind of agriculture.
However, even China has not successfully introduced it so far, and Longteng Group’s light-guiding optical fibers are not currently sold on a large scale.
Only some small products are sold, and the prices are very high. These small products are too expensive to be used in agriculture.
Only the private sector can do this on a large scale in agriculture. And no other country will do this in the short term.
Because in addition to light-guiding optical fibers, 3D printing technology is also important. And the cost of building these buildings on a large scale is not generally high.
The private sector can control the cost at 10 billion yuan, because this is the cost price. The private sector has various technologies.
If you build externally, if you don't have 50 billion, I'm afraid it won't be built for you. If you build a building for 50 billion, it will be 500 billion, and if you build 10 buildings, it will be 5 trillion. With such a cost, most countries will not be able to build it at all.
It cannot be built.
Nowadays, countries around the world are also working hard to develop light-guiding optical fibers, but the technical content of this thing is too high and it will not have any effect in a short period of time.
When they develop it, it will take at least ten or eight years, and they still have to burn money regardless of the cost. Besides, developing it and mass-producing it on a large scale requires another process.
By then, Longteng Group's light-guiding optical fiber will already be much lower in cost. In today's global era, many things are one step ahead and one step ahead. The spare tires developed by many companies can sometimes only be used as spare tires.
.
In a short period of time, at least within ten years, this planting model cannot be replicated by the private sector. And ten years is enough time for the private sector to carry out large-scale deployment in agriculture.
Looking at the rice from generation to generation, Zhang Fan squinted his eyes and smiled. It was time to start implementing the private African strategy.
