I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

The countries of Israel are arid and water-scarce countries, and the desert area accounts for nearly 70% of their land area.

In such an environment, in order to survive and develop, they developed a unique agricultural model: open source and reduce expenditure, technical water use.

Advanced water-saving and water-saving technologies are exactly where the Northwest, which has similar environmental conditions, can learn from and learn from. Therefore, at this exchange meeting, the experts from various countries who were invited to Wangxi Province to participate in the meeting received great attention. They His speech was held on the first day and became the highlight of the entire exchange meeting.

The experts spoke in English, but you can listen to the live interpretation by wearing headphones.

Chen Mu didn't quite understand such things as drip irrigation technology and irrigation control system in agriculture, but he didn't feel bored at all after listening to the lectures of experts.

And after listening to it, he learned that the drip irrigation technology of the Ethelite people is the world's leading, and it is their iconic product of water-saving agriculture.

The most interesting thing is that the cherry tomatoes currently grown in China are all varieties imported from the countries of Israel. Not only the country of Xia, but 70% of the world’s tomato varieties also come from them. Love tomatoes very much.

While listening, Chen Mu cried out that the impact of Israeli agriculture on Xia and the world far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

Although he had boasted that his forest farm was a high-tech enterprise to the leaders of City X before, he used the "super power" of the black technology map for seedling cultivation. In other respects, his forest farm had no technological content at all.

Take watering and planting trees as an example. Because he has a black technology map, he can easily find the location of the groundwater, then directly drill a well to pump water, and use a large pipe to sprinkle water.

Such an operation, if it is placed with the people of Ethel, is simply a ruin.

The Israelis will extend the water flow to the roots of the plants by arranging water pipes, so that the plants in arid environments can thrive. There is also a very important concept here: because the water droplets drop directly to the roots, it can save water waste on the one hand, and no water droplets. It will splash the dust on the ground and hit the branches and leaves of plants, reducing the risk of plant infections.

Chen Mu thinks that his forest farm should also consider this aspect more, after all, groundwater is not inexhaustible.

Even if the black technology map can help him find groundwater, it will only help him find it, and it won't turn into water out of thin air.

If you want to waste groundwater, there will always be a day out in the future, and you will really regret it.

After thinking for a while, he found a space and asked the Uighur girl: "Anal, I think this water pipe seems to be very good for irrigation, can we also use this?"

When the Uighur girl listened to the lecture, she took notes all the time. She heard Chen Mu talking and answered almost without thinking: "If you really want to grow jujubes and large-fruited seabuckthorn, you should really use water pipes for irrigation, but if you just plant trees Afforestation, then this is not necessary."

"why?"

Chen Mu asked without shame.

The Uighur girl was very satisfied with someone’s attitude and humbly explained: “If you think about it for yourself, jujube and sea-buckthorn are both cash crops. If you want them to grow good fruits every year, you have to water them every day. If the planting area is large, it would be too troublesome to irrigate manually. At this time, it would be much more convenient if water pipes are used for irrigation. As long as someone turns on the water pipe regularly every day, it will water the trees No more trouble."

"Yes, that's right, it really saves trouble."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up when he heard that, thinking that his forest farm has now reached more than 6,000 acres. It takes a lot of time to walk around every day, not to mention watering. If you can lay water pipes for irrigation, it will be a big saver.

The Uighur girl continued: "But now our forest farms are mostly non-economic plants, so laying water pipes for irrigation is unnecessary and worthless."

"Why not worth it, I think it's pretty good!"

Chen Mu counted with his fingers: "Our forest farm has contracted 30,000 mu of land. It must be a big problem for watering. In addition to digging wells, it is also very troublesome to pull pipes farther away. I plan to buy two. The waterwheel will work. If you can lay this water pipe, it will be much more convenient."

"What are you thinking about, knowing how much it will cost to cover all 30,000 mu of land with water pipes?"

"How much does it cost?"

"The cost of water pipes and laying of water pipes is not counted. For each dripper, it is about 50 cents on the market now. You grow jujube and sea buckthorn. You need to use one for each plant. How much does it cost."

Fifty cents a...

There are so many trees in the forest farm...

Chen Mu is speechless. If this is really going to happen, just buying a dripper can make him bankrupt, and he can't afford it at the moment.

He fainted suddenly, and he thought it was better to listen carefully. Irrigate this kind of thing, and wait until the conditions are available.

The Uighur girl glanced at him and said, “Actually, the most you grow now are Haloxylon trees and sea buckthorn. These are not cash crops, but just wind-proof and sand-fixing plants. They don’t need to be watered every day, so you can use the dropper technique. For those jujubes and large-fruited sea-buckthorn, you can plant a scale and acreage of one hundred thousand yuan, not much money."

"Yes, there are small things for small ones, and big things for big ones. It's fine to keep investing when you have money in the future."

Chen Mu felt that he immediately opened up his mind, and when he waited for the seedling funds to be returned, he set about drip irrigation on his forest farm.

At the end of the day, after listening to the speeches of several Ethelite experts and several domestic agricultural experts, Chen Mu felt that he had broadened his horizons and knew a lot of things he had never heard of before.

On the second day, the exchange meeting was still in the form of a lecture.

However, today’s speech is made by some domestic people who have made achievements in sand control and afforestation, mostly farmers and entrepreneurs.

Chen Mu originally thought that today’s speech was nothing good, it was probably the report meeting of advanced representatives, but what he did not expect was that the speeches of these farmers and entrepreneurs gave him the feeling that they were more than what the experts said on the first day. valuable.

"I didn't understand anything at the beginning, so I wanted to try to plant everything to find the most drought-tolerant variety, and then a variety... After many years of experience, the Haloxylon tree is the most drought-tolerant, and then the tamarisk tree. , Next is the flower stick, after the flower stick is the white thorns, after the white thorns is the Populus euphratica, after the Populus euphratica is the oleander...The most resistant to drought is the poplar, and the white poplar is the easiest to dry out..."

When one of the old people who planted trees in Heishui City gave a speech, although his words were awkward and with a thick Mongolian accent, what he said was extremely close to reality, and every sentence was a point of knowledge, feeling Anyone who has planted trees in the desert can understand what he is saying.

Although Chen Mu had planted many trees, he had only worked for half a year and lacked experience in many things.

He never knew which tree was more drought-resistant. If he hadn't listened to this day's speech, he would not have known that planting licorice not only can achieve economic benefits, but also can control sand and improve soil.

The rhizobia in the roots of licorice can fix nitrogen and change soil fertility, so as long as the land that has been planted with licorice is used to grow other things, there will be a very good harvest.

These ones……

It's all valuable knowledge, really learned something.
