The reason why an agricultural group was established was because Ye Rui accidentally discovered plant genes while studying gene energy. During the production process of human genetic energy, a by-product appears.
The yield of this product can be much greater than genetic energy. At first, Ye Rui didn't pay much attention to them because they were all dregs of genetic energy, very low-end and not suitable for human use.
However, by chance, an engineer discovered that these by-products have a great improvement effect on plants, and almost all of them are positive.
For example, improve drought resistance, enhance insect resistance, increase yield, improve wind resistance, etc.
During that time, some small African countries were experiencing famine again. Out of kindness and compassion, Ye Rui took out ten people to form a new research team to study the genetic modification of plants.
Who would have known that just such a group has made a major breakthrough recently. They created a food crop that could survive in extremely arid areas, including deserts and deserts, and named it Granary No. 1.
Granary No. 1 can grow for more than a hundred years. It can grow as tall as a tree and continue to produce fruits the size of watermelons on the tree. These fruits contain a variety of trace elements, as well as starch and some proteins. It can be said that it is the most suitable food for consumption.
Edible powder is extracted from it and can be used to make steamed buns, noodles, biscuits, toast, etc. The taste is better than that of ordinary refined flour.
The reason why this Bei Shang Granary No. 1 has strong survivability lies in its well-developed root system. It can penetrate hundreds of meters underground to explore underground water sources and extract water from them. Moreover, its skin is a kind of tempered colloid, which has the ability to retain moisture.
After experiments, it was found that what this crop needs most is not chemical fertilizers, but sunlight. The stronger the sunlight, the faster they grow. About every fifty square meters, only one Granary No. 1 plant can survive.
When Ye Rui showed the results to Ye Ming, Ye Ming directly decided to establish an agricultural group company. The first step was to focus on this crop and plant it in a large area.
This agricultural group finally put Yu Xianxian in charge. Yu Xianxian has been growing various crops in Taixu Illusionary Realm in her early years and has rich experience.
The agricultural group, named Tiannong Group, is independent of the Tiangong Group. Its main business areas are planting farms, breeding farms, genetically modified seeds, water conservancy projects, etc.
When Tiannong Group was founded, it received two trillion yuan in start-up capital. After some planning, Yu Xianxian, as the president of Tiannong Group, met with a senior official of the National Resources Commission.
This high-ranking official was very polite to Yu Xianxian and was surprised by her extraordinary temperament and peerless beauty.
"Thank you, Director Zhao, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come see me." Yu Xianxian smiled, "Our Tiannong Group, like Tiangong Manufacturing, is affiliated to the parent company, Chuangchuang Group."
Director Zhao quickly said: "Mr. Yu, you are too polite. I have seen your report. At first glance, it is incredible. But after seeing the extraordinary creativity of Tiangong Manufacturing, we believe that your Tiannong Group will also be able to Cure the wind and sand in the north."
Yu Xianxian said: "Our intention is to sign a 100-year contract with the country. Within 100 years, we will not mine any oil or coal, but will only experiment with growing some food to effectively solve the feng shui problem in the capital."
The director smiled and said: "These are not problems. However, the Gobi area in the north has a total area of 1.3 million square kilometers. Do you want such a big place?"
Yu Xianxian said: "Yes. We have done environmental deductions. Once we manage this area well, we can not only prevent desert storms, but also improve the air quality in the entire north and boost the country's food production."
The director smiled: "Although it is the Gobi Desert, it is not worth much. But there are many people living in the Gobi Desert. We have done statistics and found that about 750,000 people live there and depend on the weather for their livelihood."
Yu Xianxian: "We will pay for the relocation costs and give each person a subsidy of 1 million. In addition, we will also build a city in a nearby suitable place for them to live. There are complete supporting facilities, providing jobs, medical care , education and life are not inferior to second-tier cities."
The director's eyes lit up immediately and he said repeatedly: "Okay, then we will settle this matter."
Three days later, both parties held a press conference and signed an agreement for a period of one hundred years. In the past hundred years, the entire Gobi has been owned by the Tiannong Group, and the state will not interfere. However, Tiannong Group must control the dust problem and solve the immigration problem. At the same time, it must provide 10 billion yuan in rent to the country every year. "
Immigration alone will cost trillions of dollars. But Tiannong Group can afford it. Moreover, with such good treatment, the people nearby live in poverty. Unless there is something wrong with their brains, most of them have moved and moved into the new city.
Next, Tiannong Group began to plant Granary No. 1 on the 1.3 million square kilometers of Gobi Desert.
The planting of Granary No. 1 is different from ordinary crops. For ordinary crops, you just need to dig a hole, put some water in it, bury the seeds and wait for them to sprout and grow.
Granary No. 1, on the other hand, digs a sinkhole hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters into the ground until it finds a water source, and then drops a drop of liquid medicine into it.
With the help of the medicinal solution, the seeds will quickly take root, germinate, and grow quickly. The tip of a bud will grow straight to the ground, and then spread out branches and leaves, growing into a towering tree.
Back then, this granary No. 1 could produce grain and fruit for human consumption. In the entire Great Gobi, about 20 billion Granary No. 1 plants can be planted. One plant of Grain No. 1 can produce 120 kilograms of green and healthy grain powder every year, which is 1.2 billion tons of grain.
You know, the total domestic grain output last year was only 600 million tons. This output is twice the national grain output!
One ton of flour on the market costs 2,500 yuan, which is 1.2 billion tons, and its value is 3 trillion yuan!
In this first year, Tiannong Group’s investment can be recovered.
In order to plant Granary No. 1, Tiangong Group specially manufactured an intelligent planting equipment that can find water, drill holes, and drip medicine, all in a few seconds.
This machine was about the same size as a tractor, and one hundred thousand units were built at once. One machine can plant 30,000 to 40,000 trees a day, and 100,000 machines can plant 3 to 4 billion trees a day.
In just one week, the entire Gobi has been planted with Granary No. 1.
People nearby saw that the Gobi desert turned green overnight. They were shocked and curious, so they took videos and posted them on the Internet.
For a time, the whole world was discussing, what is going on
The state was also shocked. The National Appearance Committee and the National Posture Committee called the National Appearance Committee to inquire. The answer given by Tiannong Group is agricultural experiments.
However, this agricultural experiment was so ambitious that there were more and more discussions.
As a last resort, Yu Xianxian held a press conference in Beijing to answer questions raised by reporters. This time, she roughly said what Tiannong Group was going to do.
Reporters couldn't believe it when they heard that this plant could grow in the Gobi and produce food.
Someone asked: "Mr. Yu, may I ask, is this Granary No. 1 really edible? Isn't it dangerous?"
"No, it is even safer than ordinary field food and has no pollution." Yu Xianxian said.
"So, Mr. Yu, how many kilograms of grain can this Granary No. 1 produce each year? How much have you planted, and what is the total output."
Yu Xianxian said: "We have planted 20 billion plants, and the annual output of a single plant is about 120 kilograms. The output of the entire farm is about 1.2 billion tons."
The reporters were furious and asked questions one after another.
"Mr. Yu, the grain output of 1.2 billion is already twice the national output and half of the global grain output! I would like to ask, is our Tiannong Group doing this to make money, or does it have other motives."
Yu Xianxian said: "Our Tiannong Group adheres to the concept of creating the future and repaying society. First of all, Gobi planting can improve air quality, prevent sandstorms, and increase grain production. We will use part of the 1.2 billion kilograms of grain to Free shipping to poor areas in Africa to help them.”
"Mr. Yu, since you can grow this kind of food, do you want to plant it in Africa to help African brothers?"
This question is very clever. If Yu Xianxian says no, the other party will say that Tiannong Group is hypocritical and does not really want to help others.
Yu Xianxian said: "We are still in an experimental area. Whether these grains can survive in the end and how long they can survive is still unknown. Furthermore, the seeds we produce are currently only suitable for domestic climate conditions and cannot be used in a short time. transplanted to other regions abroad.”
"Mr. Yu, since Tiannong Group has such technology and strength, will it continue to plant in the northwest, west, and southwest regions? After all, these areas are vast and the environment is similar to the northern Gobi."
Yu Xianxian: "We have done research, but it is not yet determined whether to make the above choices."
After the press conference, the heated discussion online did not end. People found that the environment in the north seemed to have suddenly become much better, no longer so dirty, and there was very little dust in the air.
Moreover, it seems that the air is fresher when you breathe it. They don't know that those 20 billion trees absorb up to 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide every year! You must know that the total domestic carbon dioxide emissions are only more than 10 billion tons every year, and the purification of Grain No. 1 alone accounts for about half.
Moreover, Granary No. 1 can emit a kind of negative oxygen ions, which makes people feel happy, increases the air temperature, and maintains water and soil.
Therefore, the second thing of Tiannong Group began to slowly unfold, that is, to develop some urban clusters among the trees for people to come and live.
The environment here is really great, with little wind, fresh air and quiet environment.
As a result, construction of ten vertical, three horizontal, and thirteen highways began. These roads can not only be used to transport crops, but also serve as future transportation arteries.
In addition to highways, there are also ten-meter-wide roads scattered throughout the fields.
