After the car was restarted, Liang Shicheng continued to drive his hand on the steering wheel affectation. Under the control of the autopilot system, the car came to its final destination, a headquarters of agricultural equipment machinery company near the outskirts.
In recent years, the world has not been peaceful. For various reasons, all countries are reducing food exports, which is a big blow to those countries that originally traded resources for food, so they fell into the food crisis one after another.
Liang Shicheng had a premonition of business opportunities. In addition, his agricultural equipment company originally had a fully automatic unmanned farming scheme. After a period of iteration, it has gradually matured. It can fully realize the unmanned rice transplanter and the adaptability to complex terrain, which is actually more difficult than automatic driving.
Now we only need to develop a cheap enough mechanical arm to cultivate seedlings, and we can realize the automatic agricultural factory.
Agriculture in the Confucian cultural circle is actually the most advanced. This advancement is reflected in the output per unit land area. It feeds more people with less and less suitable land, which is why Asia has more people than other places.
Although the agriculture in America, the main export area of grain, looks more magnificent. Super large combine harvesters and aircraft sow seeds, the use of more advanced tools sometimes does not mean advanced. This is a rough agricultural method, provided that there is a vast expanse of land, and such good conditions are not owned by every country.
These methods are not unable to be fully used in China, but there are other reasons. Some of the terrain factors are indeed one, but the more important thing is that the area of cultivated land in China is not as large as that in the United States and Russia, but it needs to feed several times the population by itself. This requires intensive cultivation to make the same land produce more food.
A typical example is rice, or rice. In China, rice planting is not done after sowing seeds. Instead, a small piece of land is used to intensively spread seeds to cultivate seedlings. When the seedlings grow to a certain extent, they are planted in other fields at a greater distance. Other crops can be planted on the land saved before that.
In addition, rice itself is a kind of fine grain with the highest yield after thousands of years of domestication, and the emergence of super hybrid rice technology, China can have plenty of food and clothing.
However, such a good thing is not easy to promote all over the world. Intensive cultivation is too hard, which is difficult to accept in areas outside the Confucian cultural circle. In contrast, it is much easier to get a large piece of land and leave the seeds alone after sowing. Of course, the output is much lower.
At the same time, many countries, especially those deeply involved in war, leave a lot of land uncultivated for various reasons.
Because these lands are not flat, they can not adopt the rough western large farm model, so they will not be seen by western large farmers.
However, Chinese people often go there to rent a small piece of land and get rich. It's a pity that few Chinese people are willing to live abroad for a long time, and the area of cultivated land managed by one person is limited.
In short, there are a lot of underutilized land in the world, and not many countries like China strive to cultivate land.
If we can rely on automatic driving and AI technology to open pits and farm in various complex terrain, and replace manpower to complete intensive farming, so that the whole world can reach the domestic farming efficiency, we can feed several times the population, but all this is only the first step in Liang Shicheng's agricultural plan.
Although agriculture seems to have little oil and water, the total amount can not be ignored.
This is a business gradually carried out by his agricultural equipment and machinery company abroad, a project that seems insignificant now but has a far-reaching impact in the future.
In the conference room of the agricultural equipment company, there is an important meeting today about the emergency of the company's overseas business.
"Our 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 came straight to the point and explained the situation.
After learning about the situation, Gui Gui was calm and comforted the people on the scene:
"It's nothing to lose some food. Anyway, the place is wrapped 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 maintained a dull look and continued to add:
"There was no problem with people. The local workers we hired were not only not attacked, but also involved in the robbery at that time."
Liang Shicheng took the opportunity to make complaints about it.
"The employees of the branch are really unreliable,
I had expected this situation for a long time, so I considered the anti-theft design of the whole system.
Especially those unmanned automatic tractors, even the driver's seat is not designed, and their actions are controlled by the server of the headquarters through the network. "
"As for those tractors... The person in charge of the company dragged a long voice and sighed," let's watch the video. "
Then a picture of a projector appeared on the wall of the conference room, which was the surveillance video of a warehouse robbed that day. There are many warehouses like this.
Outside the warehouse, there are many extremely large electric tractors without driver's seat parked in the open air. They do not have their own exclusive garage, which is also an advantage of comprehensive electrification, that is, the whole body can be made almost completely closed, without lubricating oil, maintenance and maintenance, which further reduces the use cost.
These oversized electric tractors have been redesigned because they are not sold separately as products and only consider work efficiency, which is much higher both in size and cost.
In broad daylight, a group of refugees in rags managed to open the warehouse door and carry the goods inside in an orderly manner. There are not many stocks in the warehouse that have not been pulled and sold. It seems that the stocks inside will be removed soon.
Then fast forward, and the picture came to night. Although the warehouse containing grain was empty at this time, the crowd did not leave, but continued to stay there and lit a bonfire in the open space.
Under the light of the campfire, someone began to stand on the electric tractor and make a gesture. With the video playing at dozens of times high speed, the next magical scene happened.
The shell of the tractor disappeared first, and then the other parts inside became less and less like a cake.
Liang Shicheng, who was absorbed in watching the video, stood up and said in surprise:
"Pause!! Slow down!
I'll go. How did they do it? The masters in our factory are not so fast. "
When the playback speed of the video returned to the normal multiple, several people on the screen just stood up the huge tires and then pushed them away from the camera. At this time and space, the previous rows of giant electric tractors on the ground have disappeared out of thin air.
