Chapter 807: Establishment of New Hainong!
The design of the seabed farm is not particularly complicated. With the industrial level of the new country and the two industrial-grade 3D printers that have been moved to the present world, the production can be completed in the industrial park on Anga Island. --
Although the design plan provided by the Beluga Research Station is a small-scale undersea farm, the design principles are actually the same. It is not difficult to change it into a large-scale undersea farm through the deduction of quantum computers.
After Jiang Chen sent the data to the researcher at Vault 27, within two days, they sent back the design plan for the large-scale submarine farm.
The whole design scheme is divided into two parts, above water and underwater.
The part on the water is an offshore platform for divers to live, submersibles to dock, and transport ships to unload. There is no special technical content in this.
The core of the whole design scheme is the underwater part!
The external structure is completely made of graphene materials, surrounded by a circular wall made of hardened graphene partitions, and the top is a graphene material airbag filled with gas. It looks like a flat and wide "yurt" from a distance. ".
This "yurt"-like building is the planting unit of the submarine farm, with a radius of about 45 meters and an area of about 10 mu. Connecting pipes are arranged on the wall to make each planting unit communicate with each other.
In addition to connecting pipes, the walls are also equipped with molecular exchange membranes, which can separate dissolved carbon dioxide from seawater species and discharge oxygen generated by plant metabolism to the outside.
The planting of all plants is completed in this "yurt". These planting units are like biospheres, and sensors are installed inside, which can provide real-time data to the monitoring terminal on the offshore platform, such as temperature, ph value, air temperature, carbon dioxide Concentration etc.
As for the light needed for plant growth, it is provided by LED light sources. Because the wavelength of the LED light source can be effectively controlled, the lettuce produced by the submarine farm can become crisper and softer as needed, and it can even taste better than crops grown on land!
With the information sorted out in No. 27 Vault, Jiang Chen returned to the present world non-stop, and immediately passed the information to the database of the Future Group, and then found Xia Shiyu, and told her about his plan to build a submarine farm.
After listening to Jiang Chen's plan in bewilderment, Xia Shiyu repeated in a dumbfounded manner.
"Undersea farm?"
It's like, a few days ago, the two of them were still discussing the acquisition of Australian farms. After seeing each other for two days, the chairman opened the door and told her that we would not buy Australian farms anymore.
We cultivate wasteland by ourselves.
where?
seabed!
What is this and what?
"Wait, let me sort it out first." Xia Shiyu frowned, rationalizing what Jiang Chen said just now, and then asked, "What new thing did the laboratory of the Future Group develop?" Is it a child? Undersea farm? How to grow land under the sea? Grow kelp?"
Hearing Xia Shiyu's question, Jiang Chen couldn't help but support his forehead.
This time he slowed down his speech, and called out the holographic concept map in the database, and talked to Xia Shiyu again.
After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, Xia Shiyu finally understood, her eyes gradually lit up.
Although she doesn't know much about agriculture, as the CEO of a multinational group, she has a very keen sense of the market! In the first time, she figured out the market value of this seabed farm!
In this way, Future Group's plan to enter the grain market was finalized.
The registered subsidiary is Xinguo Ocean Agriculture Co., Ltd., referred to as "Xinhai Nong", which is wholly owned by Future People Group.
After the establishment of New Hainong, the Presidential Palace of Xinguo immediately approved the document, marking the 400,000 mu of sea area north of Anga Island as a seabed planting area, and contracted Xinhainong at a price of US$100 per mu. Since it is the agriculture of the new country, the Future Group does not need to pay land taxes for the 400,000 mu of sea area, and only needs to pay a one-time payment of 40 million US dollars for permanent use.
The water depth of this contracted sea area is between 100 meters and 120 meters. The seabed terrain is relatively flat, the submarine volcanic activity and ocean current movement are relatively stable, and there are no large fish schools. It is simply a treasure land tailored for Jiang Chen!
Moreover, according to the conclusions obtained from the seabed geological survey conducted by Future Mining, the sediment in this sea area contains high abundance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which belongs to eutrophic sediment. After simple treatment, it can be used as fertilizer for farm crops.
After the establishment of Xinguo Marine Agriculture Company, it immediately attracted countless attentions at home and abroad. Some people are surprised, some are skeptical, and some are unbelievable, but most of them are still curious! Especially those marine countries with small territories and extremely dependent on imports of food are full of interest in the concept of seabed planting proposed by this new sea farmer!
After all, these countries often have territorial waters. If this vast territorial waters can be turned into arable land, then these island people who eat high-priced imported food will have to wake up from their dreams!
Of course, since Xin Hainong has no plans to build the farm abroad, even if they wake up from their dreams, this underwater farm has nothing to do with them.
In fact, seabed planting is not a flashy gimmick. As early as 15 years ago, the Italian Ocean Coral Reef Group proposed the concept of seabed planting and named the project "Nemo Garden". planting operations.
The constant temperature maintained underwater is very conducive to plant growth, which is a huge advantage that most land farms do not have. Although it is said that crops will be hit by huge water currents underwater, it is better than being bitten by insects on the ground, and there are many bad weather on land.
The other is carbon dioxide.
It has been confirmed by systematic simulation of ocean circulation and carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater that about 40% of the carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels will be absorbed by the ocean, so the ocean can be regarded as the largest carbon dioxide pool on earth. So the high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the ocean are like steroids to the plants, causing them to grow very rapidly.
It is no exaggeration to say that the maturity cycle of crops in this submarine farm can be shortened by up to 50% compared with traditional methods!
However, until now, the "Nemo Garden" project is still in the experimental stage. Xin Hainong suddenly jumped out at this time, saying that he has mastered the technology of large-scale planting of land crops on the seabed, which is undoubtedly a bit unbelievable in the eyes of others.
After hearing the news, many media even hesitated for a while, and actually put the report on the entertainment panel.
But it’s no wonder, after all, the concept proposed by Xinhai Nong is too advanced, and the public’s attention to agriculture is not as good as other fields. Although these newspapers and media also believe in the technological strength of Future Group, they still can’t help but use their tongues to tease .
After all, haven't you produced the finished product yet?
As for these reports, Jiang Chen didn't care at all.
Anyway, my lord, I will slap you in the face when the time comes, why should I care what you media are beeping right now? (To be continued.)
