Help all mankind

Chapter 88

After the car restarted, Liang Shicheng continued to hold his hands on the steering wheel and pretended to drive. Under the control of the autopilot system, the car came to the final destination, the headquarters of an agricultural machinery company near the outskirts.

In recent years, the world has not been peaceful. For various reasons, all countries are reducing their food exports. This is a big blow to those countries that originally rely on selling resources for food, so they have fallen into a food crisis.

Liang Shicheng had a foresight of the business opportunity. In addition, his own agricultural equipment company originally had a fully automatic unmanned farming program. After a period of iteration, it has gradually matured and can fully realize the unmanned rice transplanter and complex terrain. This is actually more difficult than autonomous driving.

Now only need to develop a cheap enough robotic arm to cultivate seedling technology to realize an automated agricultural factory.

Agriculture in the Confucian cultural circle is actually the most advanced. This advancement is reflected in the output per unit area of ​​land. It feeds more people with less and less suitable land for farming. This is why Asia has more population than other places. .

Although agriculture in the Americas, the main food export region, looks more magnificent, with super-large combine harvesters and airplanes for sowing seeds, the use of more advanced tools sometimes does not mean advanced. This is a rough agricultural method, provided that A vast expanse of plains, and such good conditions are not available to every country.

These methods are not incapable of being fully used in China, but there are other reasons. Part of the geographical factor is indeed one, but the more important thing is that the domestic cultivated land area is not as good as that of the United States and Russia, but it needs to feed several times the population on its own. We need to rely on intensive farming to produce more food from the same land.

A typical example is rice or rice. In domestic rice planting, you don’t just sow the seeds. Instead, use a small piece of land to intensively spread the seeds to cultivate seedlings, and wait until the seedlings grow to a certain extent. They are planted in other fields with a greater distance, and other crops can be planted on the land saved before.

In addition, rice itself is a fine grain with the highest yield that has been domesticated for thousands of years, and the emergence of super hybrid rice technology has made the country rich in food and clothing.

But such a good thing is not easy to promote all over the world. The intensive cultivation is too hard and it is difficult to accept it outside the Confucian cultural circle. In comparison, it saves a lot of trouble if you get a large piece of land and leave it alone after sowing the seeds. , Of course, the output is much lower.

At the same time, many countries, especially those deep in wars, have left a lot of land for various reasons.

However, these lands are not flat and can not adopt the crude Western large farm model, so they will not be appreciated by Western large farmers.

But from time to time, Chinese people go there to rent a small piece of land and get rich. Unfortunately, not many Chinese people are willing to live abroad for a long time, and the area of ​​arable land that one person can manage with intensive cultivation is limited.

In short, there is a lot of underutilized land in the world, and there are not many countries like China that are working hard to cultivate land.

If you can rely on autonomous driving and AI technology to open pits for farming under various complex terrains, and replace humans to complete intensive farming, so that the world can reach domestic farming efficiency, then you can feed several times the population, but all this is just The first step in Liang Shicheng's agricultural plan.

Although agriculture does not seem to have much oil and water, the total amount cannot be ignored.

This is a business that his agricultural equipment machinery company is gradually developing abroad, a project that seems inconspicuous now but has far-reaching impact in the future.

In the meeting room of the agricultural equipment company, there is an important meeting today about the emergency situation of the company's overseas business.

"Our branch company located abroad has recently been affected by the local war.

According to the latest news, the first phase of early rice just harvested was robbed."The person in charge of the company went straight to the point and explained the situation.

Upon learning of the situation, Guigui looked calm and calmed down a few words to everyone at the scene:

"The loss of some food is nothing. Anyway, that area is covered at a very low price, and the land rent is almost zero in all production costs.

As long as there are no problems with people and machines."

The person in charge of the company kept a dull look and continued to add:

"There is indeed no problem with people. The local workers we hired not only were not attacked, but also participated in the robbery at that time."

Liang Shicheng took the opportunity to complain,

"The employees in the branch are really unreliable.

I had expected this situation a long time ago, so I took into account the anti-theft design of the entire system.

Especially those unmanned automatic tractors, even the driver's seat is not designed, their actions are controlled by the headquarters server through the network."

"As for those tractors..." The company's person in charge dragged a long tone, and sighed: "Let's watch the video."

Later, a projector screen appeared on the wall of the conference room. The content was a surveillance video taken when a warehouse was robbed that day. There are many warehouses like this.

Many extremely large electric tractors without a driver’s seat are parked outside the warehouse. They do not have their own dedicated garage. This is also a benefit of full electrification, that is, the entire body can be made almost completely enclosed, without the need Lubricating oil does not require maintenance and maintenance, which further reduces the cost of use.

These larger-sized electric tractors are redesigned, because they are not sold separately as products and only consider work efficiency, both in size and cost.

In the daytime, a group of ragged refugees found a way to open the warehouse door and moved the goods in an orderly manner. There are not many stocks in the warehouse that have not been pulled and sold. It seems that it will not take long before the inventory inside will be lost. Moved.

Fast forward, and the picture came to night. Although the warehouse for food was empty at this time, the crowd did not leave. Instead, they continued to stay there, and a bonfire started in the open space.

Under the illumination of the bonfire, someone began to make gestures while standing on the electric tractor. As the video tape was played back at a speed of several tens of times, a magical scene happened.

The outer shell of the tractor disappeared first, and then the other parts of the interior gradually became less like a cake.

Liang Shicheng, who was engrossed in the video, stood up instantly and was taken aback:

"Pause! Slow down!

Let me go, how did they do it, the masters in our factory are not so fast."

When the video playback speed returned to normal multiples, a few people on the screen just put up the huge tires, and then pushed them away from the camera. At this time, the rows of giant electric tractors on the open ground have disappeared out of thin air. Up.
