Knowing that Zhao Yi was coming to inspect Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, Wei Donglai made arrangements early. According to the itinerary, Zhao Yi mainly inspected the experimental conditions of auxin here and the overall desert management situation here.
Although auxin can greatly promote the growth of plants and can greatly shorten the growth cycle of plants, due to the relatively harsh environment here, the specific dosage still needs to be tested.
Originally, the rainfall in the northwest region was very low, and these treated areas were originally desert areas. Although after some treatment, the desert land became relatively fertile land.
However, it is difficult for the rainfall here to change significantly in the short term. If auxin is used excessively, it will lead to desertification of the land that was finally transformed due to severe dehydration in the short term.
Therefore, since receiving the auxin formula from Zhao Yi, Fluclight Environmental Management Company has been building a production factory while conducting relevant experiments to obtain a more accurate dosage ratio.
Instead of using it in a hurry after getting the auxin like Qinnong Biological Laboratory did, because apart from worrying about whether the auxin is effective and whether it has side effects, other factors do not need to be considered.
Although the ecological environment has improved in places such as those managed by Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, it is still relatively fragile and cannot withstand large-scale efforts. All actions must be based on science.
Fortunately, by the time Zhao Yi arrived, Fluclight Environmental Management Company had already obtained relatively accurate data. According to Wei Donglai's introduction, when using one-way moisture permeable membrane technology, it is more scientific to dilute the auxin to 3 times.
In other words, auxin that can originally promote plant growth by 10 times, after being diluted 3 times, can only promote plant growth by about 3 times.
Although it could not meet Zhao Yi's expectations, even so, Zhao Yi was very happy. Under normal circumstances, the growth cycle of most trees takes more than 10 years, and there are even tree species that are more than 20 years old.
If auxin is used, most of the data can basically be used in about 5 years, and can be put into development and utilization, which can bring economic benefits to Zhao Yi.
Moreover, this 3-fold dilution is based on the current situation, the environmental transformation has not yet been finalized, and the environment is still very fragile.
As forests grow denser and denser in the future, the soil structure undergoes fundamental changes, and rainfall increases, the use of auxin will not need to be diluted so much in the future.
But by that time, it is estimated that there will be no need to use auxin to promote the growth of trees, because with reasonable development planning, the demand for wood by Zhao Yi's enterprises can be fully met.
As for the export of wood, Zhao Yi has never considered it this way. In the future, he is also preparing to import wood from abroad on a large scale. For example, there are abundant wood resources in the north.
Of course, if the vast area in the northwest is transformed and replaced with forests, then with such a large forest area and rational development, it will be possible to achieve national self-sufficiency in timber.
However, with the current area planted by Zhao Yi, it is unrealistic to meet the domestic demand for wood with reasonable planning, especially with the wealthy people and the huge population, the wood consumed by the furniture industry alone is Very huge.
Otherwise, why so many pieces of furniture in the previous life were made of plywood was because domestic wood resources were insufficient and prices were high, making furniture made of logs unaffordable to ordinary consumers.
And as the global environment becomes worse and worse, environmental protection initiatives will definitely be raised to a higher level. Carbon neutrality is no longer just talk. In addition to controlling the source of carbon emissions, there is also the need to increase the forest area for carbon consumption. .
Although technology can be improved to greatly utilize air as industrial raw materials and reduce the carbon and nitrogen content in the air, the carbon absorption by forests still pales in comparison.
In fact, Huaxia International Petrochemical Company and Pusi Chemical Company are developing high-efficiency air separators, which can separate air and form gas elements with high purity.
In fact, most substances on the earth are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, even oil and natural gas. If you have enough conversion technology, you can create a large amount of substances using air and seawater.
It's just that this idea is just an idea at the moment, because it will inevitably be accompanied by a large amount of energy consumption. Before controllable nuclear fusion is developed, the use of this technology has great limitations.
Even if Zhao Yi has a lot of technology in this area, he can't change this. If you want to apply elements in the air to industrial production and food production industries at will, energy is an unavoidable obstacle.
Of course, if there is truly unlimited energy supply, then perhaps in the future we will not need to grow food at all, and it can be synthesized directly through industrial methods. There is no need to raise livestock, and it can be directly produced through industrial methods.
This is why controllable nuclear fusion is so important. Many production methods that were previously limited by high energy costs can be put into industrial production, and there will also be major changes in science, technology and business development ideas.
Although this world is a material world, in the final analysis it is still a world of energy. With unlimited energy, many materials can be created through technology, and human survival can be freed from the constraints of land to a certain extent.
Zhao Yiyou then asked about the production of auxin and one-way water permeable membrane. Due to the relative lack of water resources here, and the need to cover such a large forest area, the required quantities are very large.
Therefore, the construction of these two factories will definitely not be here. They need to be produced from other places, transported here, and then sprayed by aircraft.
The two preparations are also very different in terms of the order and method of operation. Since the one-way moisture permeable membrane preparation will form a thin film after spraying, it must be sprayed before the auxin.
Moreover, airplane spraying cannot be used, otherwise a large amount of the preparation will stick to the trees and form a film on the branches and leaves of the trees, but the land under the trees will not be sprayed.
Therefore, spraying the one-way moisture permeable membrane preparation must be done manually, using ground propulsion method to advance layer by layer. In this case, the efficiency will be much lower, but there is no way.
As for the use of special machines, it is not impossible, but Zhao Yi feels that it is completely unnecessary. This kind of work is not carried out for a long time, and a large number of machines cannot be used for a long time.
In this case, it is better to spend a lot of money to hire workers to work, and it can also help others earn a lot of money and improve their lives.
After the one-way moisture permeable membrane preparation on the ground solidifies to form a thin film, the Fluctlight Environmental Management Company will dispatch agricultural aircraft to spray auxin, and the speed of this part of the operation will be much faster.
Although this seems to be very troublesome, it is not. Since these forests are not naturally formed, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company also put a lot of effort into the planning.
Like the original deep forest, there are no roads or poor roads, so it is difficult to transport these materials, but this does not exist in the artificial forest.
After the Fluolight Environmental Management Company made necessary improvements to the land, it began to plan criss-crossing road facilities on this basis, dividing the entire forest into rectangular square areas.
The purpose of doing this is to consider the following aspects:
First, when planting forests, materials can be transported quickly and costs in this area can be reduced. Although the cost reduction is not much, at least it will save a lot of effort.
Second, as the forest grows in the future, the criss-crossing transportation network will make it very convenient to rationally develop the wood resources in the forest, and also facilitate transportation to the outside, reducing the difficulty of operations.
Third, due to the need for fire prevention, these roads are usually used for transportation, but once a fire occurs, the fire can be isolated and controlled within a certain range.
Moreover, this criss-crossing transportation network is also conducive to fire-fighting facilities and personnel coming in to carry out fire-fighting operations. It is very helpful whether it is reducing the threat to the life safety of fire fighters or reducing the losses of forestry companies.
The fourth is to facilitate the transportation needs of forestry workers in the future. Such a large forest area, as well as the wood-related industries configured in it, require a large number of workers and forest rangers.
The management model adopted here is the same as that of Mu Us Ranch and Tengger Ranch. Various strongholds will be established along traffic thoroughfares. Their daily work is mainly forest protection and timber harvesting.
The reason for this is that when planting trees, Fluctlight Environmental Management Company does not use the same tree species to plant continuously, but uses a mixed planting model, which can make the ecological structure more stable.
This results in the growth cycle of each tree being different, so reasonable harvesting needs to be carried out according to the growth conditions of the trees, which requires lumberjacks from various bases to work.
At present, the Fluolight Environmental Management Company employs more than 400,000 people for tree planting. In the future, a considerable number of these people will switch to forest rangers and loggers, as well as work for Zhao Yi's enterprises related to wood processing.
For example, the paper company that has been planned to be established for a long time and the furniture production company that has been launched are currently large employers and can solve the employment problem of many people.
Moreover, although these forests are planned according to the original forest, they are not original forests after all. In order to improve the growth effect of the wood, regular maintenance must be carried out, such as branch pruning and pest control.
All of this needs to be done manually, so this forest can definitely accommodate more than 400,000 people, and even more people will come in in the future, and eventually a new city will be formed in the center.
At present, the Fluolight Environmental Management Company has carried out regional planning based on a length of about 10 kilometers vertically and horizontally, which means that the area of a region is about 100 square kilometers.
If market towns are built at the intersection of the four regions, that is, each market town manages an area of approximately 400 square kilometers, then approximately 175 such market towns need to be built in the entire forest area.
Each market town requires about 1,000 professional workers, plus their families, as well as necessary commercial facilities, schools, clinics, etc., and the total population is about 2,000 people.
This alone requires more than 350,000 people. These are only basic forest maintenance and logging tasks, and do not involve the wood processing industry, which has a comparable number of users.
In the future, when the domestic economy continues to develop and people's incomes increase, tourism will be developed here. People in the city are very willing to come to this kind of natural oxygen bar for vacation. This industry will also solve part of the employment problem.
Although most of the current more than 400,000 employees are temporary workers, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company promised from the beginning that it would arrange formal jobs for them, and the income would be no less than what they earn now.
Therefore, these temporary workers already regard themselves as members of the company when they work, and they are more attentive when working. Moreover, even if they are temporary workers, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company needs to pay social security for them.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the domestic social security reform that Zhao Yi participated in. Within this social security framework, there is no concept that only formal workers will pay social security.
If you are employed by others, the employer must pay social security whether it is long-term employment or short-term employment. If you are an individual professional and work freely, you need to pay social security for yourself.
Moreover, social security does not need to be paid continuously to enjoy the convenience like in the previous life. Because these benefits are provided by the state for free, the state recognizes the payment intermittently.
Moreover, there will be no difference in payment areas for these social security, because they all have a unified social security account across the country. No matter where you pay, you will enter this social security account.
In the future, no matter where you retire or where you go for medical treatment or education, you will have the same treatment, and there will be no differences between regions.
This has a very positive effect. For example, if this is done, the difference brought by household registration will be very few, and it will also bring great convenience to the flow of people.
From now on, no matter where you work, whether you rent or buy your own house, or where your children's household registration is, they will have the same treatment as locals without any difference.
The benefits of doing so are also very obvious, and it will play a huge role in reducing the welfare gaps between regions, between occupations, and between public and private sectors.
We are both Chinese, and we are both contributing to this country. It is really unjustifiable that there is such a huge gap just because of different places of birth, different household registrations, and different jobs.
In his previous life, Zhao Yiyi did not understand this phenomenon very much. It may be related to factors such as limited resources and complex social security structures. However, these can actually be solved through some means. It just depends on whether you have the determination.
This obsession brought by his previous life is also an important reason why Zhao Yi decided to devote himself to the construction of the national welfare system. Although he is a capitalist, he has the heart of a socialist successor.
Moreover, before he got involved, the country had not established a complete welfare system. It was easier to get involved at this time, and there would not be too many constraints.
Of course, it is also an important reason why he provides for national welfare, otherwise the government would not be willing to spend such a large amount of financial expenditure to promote these welfare.
Because with these funds alone, it is very difficult to achieve a free and fair equal welfare system for all, and it is impossible to achieve this goal.
If Zhao Yi didn't have a golden finger and could solve this problem through various technologies, he would not touch these things even if he was as rich as the enemy.
This is not just a matter of money. If you do well, others will think that you deserve to take so much money. If you do not do well, you will stop working completely and you will be criticized by all parties.
If it weren't for the technology of smart teachers, where would it be possible to meet the teacher resources needed by so many students in such a short period of time? Even if they were forced to come to school, the quality of teaching would definitely be worrying.
If it weren't for the powerful medical research and development technology and medical technology, it would be impossible to establish such a huge free medical system in such a short period of time. Even if it was forcibly established, it would probably only be said to be free.
That's too far! ! !
It is this commitment of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company that reassures these current temporary workers and allows them to devote themselves to their work without worrying about their future.
The reason why Yaoguang Environmental Management Company does not include them as regular employees is that after these places are managed, they may not be under their control, and other companies will take over these assets.
Whether a special forestry management company is established, or it is transferred to a paper company or a furniture company in the future, it will not be under the jurisdiction of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company. They do not have so much energy to manage these assets.
However, according to Zhao Yishuye's specialization idea, these forestry resources will be unified into a forestry management company in the future, and then this company will supply wood resources to downstream industry chains such as paper companies or furniture companies.
Although these things will not be under the jurisdiction of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company in the future, their commitment is still valid, and the government department is also clear about this commitment.
Although there is no written evidence and no legal effect, the government departments are not worried about breaking their promises because they feel that Zhao Yi cannot afford to lose this person and that future cooperation with the government will encounter certain obstacles.
Then Zhao Yi took a helicopter arranged by the agricultural company to see from the air what the land would look like after being transformed and planted with trees.
Looking down from the air, the previous yellow sand has turned into a dark brown land with a certain degree of fertility. These are the effects of fertile grass.
Since the saplings are still very small and are artificially planted, when viewed from above, they are so straight horizontally and vertically. This will be beneficial to the management and conservation of the forest in the future, and at least it will be very convenient for people to enter and exit.
And with this design, some small load-bearing machines can be used in the future to transport the trees inside. Otherwise, they must rely on manual transportation, which is very inefficient.
Of course, there is also a method, which is to cut down trees directly from the periphery and extend from the outside in. However, this method cannot treat different trees differently. This method is unsustainable and not scientific enough.
Zhao Yi also noticed from the air that some previously steep sand peaks had been smoothed by machines used by the Fluolight Environmental Management Company, in order to facilitate future operations.
In this vast land, there are actually a large number of wetlands and lakes scattered in large and small areas. These places existed before reconstruction.
During the renovation, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company intentionally preserved these areas, and some areas were expanded and manually cleaned.
In the future, these wetlands and lakes will become the lungs of this forest, bringing greater water supply to this forest. The two will promote each other. If this continues, this land will have a bright future. (End of chapter)
