Chapter 495: Ecological planting

The ecological greenhouse is a research project established at the beginning

of the establishment of the scientific research center.

Although the term “ecological greenhouse” has existed a long time ago, some

people have been studying ecological agriculture and greenhouse planting

before the meteorite fell. There is not no research that combines the two, but

these ecological greenhouses are similar to the ecological greenhouses in the

research center. Comparison is completely different.

The so-called ecological greenhouse before the disaster is a system composed

of the interest and interdependence between the various plants grown in the

greenhouse and the various animals, microorganisms and various natural factors

in the greenhouse.

Although it can also form a relatively stable ecological cycle, most of the

sunlight, air and water need to rely on input from the outside.

Especially the most important sunlight, which can almost be said to be an

indispensable and important resource for all agricultural production before

the disaster.

But with the series of disasters caused by the meteorite impact and the impact

of the recent volcanic eruption, the sunlight has long been gone, and even in

the next ten years or so, it will only be restored to the low-light

environment at most.

Without sunlight, it would be a huge blow to agriculture as a whole. People

have to use artificial light to provide sunlight for crops in a way that

consumes a lot of energy.

For the ecological greenhouses in the past, such impacts and blows were fatal.

That’s why Chen Xin wanted to conduct research on ecological agriculture and

build an ecological greenhouse that can adapt to the current environment.

Fortunately, this research went well. After all, it has the research

foundation of the original ecological greenhouse, and now there is a

geothermal power station to ensure the energy supply and the warmth of the

greenhouse, and adjust the original ecological greenhouse mode when all

conditions are complete. It is not difficult to make it adapt to the current

environment.

In fact, after the scientific research center was built, the research of the

ecological greenhouse has made good breakthroughs and progress under the team

of Professor Li sent by the state, and the second phase of the expansion of

the greenhouse has been carried out on this basis.

In accordance with the model of the greenhouse, a new greenhouse was built on

an original reform-through-labor farm in the urban area, allowing the original

farm to play its role again.

After these greenhouses were built, they quickly played their role and began

to produce a variety of agricultural products steadily.

However, it is mainly based on various fruits and vegetables. Poultry and fish

raised in greenhouses are not produced in the first time because of time. They

need to be kept for a period of time to be able to provide stable meat.

As for the most important food crops, rice was chosen at the beginning.

On the one hand, rice is the staple food in the south, and everyone is used to

eating rice instead of noodles. On the other hand, the entire greenhouse is

constructed for the purpose of forming a stable ecological cycle and realizing

permanent cultivation.

Planting two or more major food crops rashly will occupy a large amount of the

limited resources in the greenhouse.

Now is no better than in the past. After the loss of sunlight and major

precipitation, especially the destruction of surface vegetation, the nutrients

that the soil can provide have become limited. The planting of greenhouses

must consider the overall ecological cycle.

Although it is not that we cannot rely on artificial supplementation to

forcibly plant a variety of major food crops for mass production of food, the

country does do this in some places to obtain a large amount of food, but this

method is still in line with the purpose of ecological agriculture. Run in the

opposite direction.

After all, the purpose of studying ecological agriculture is to restore Blue

Star’s destroyed environment and rebuild the Blue Star’s ecology in the

future. If we use the method of exhausting all the water and fishing, although

it can indeed solve the immediate urgent need, it is not a long-term plan or

plan.

Therefore, even if the country needs a large amount of food, it still supports

the ecological greenhouses developed by Chen Xin and others, instead of

adopting a large number of methods that are more similar to traditional

agriculture, relying on artificial fertilizers, light, water and other

conditions to produce large-scale plants. Produce food.

However, after realizing the rice-based ecological planting system, the team

led by Professor Li also began to study another wheat-based planting system.

This is mainly to be able to enrich the types of food, but also to meet the

differences in dietary structure between the north and the south of the Yan

country.

Although it seems that the difference is basically the same now, but the

people who eat Yan are obsessed with it. Since rice has been well cultivated,

it is impossible to give up wheat.

Chen Xin knew that Professor Li and they had been studying the wheat planting

system recently, but he originally thought it would take some time, but he did

not expect that they would really give him a huge surprise.

When Chen Xin came to the ecological greenhouse, Professor Li and his research

team were watching mechanical harvesting of wheat.

"Professor Li!" Chen Xin came to Professor Li's side, said hello to the old

professor, looked at the wheat being harvested in front of him, and asked in

surprise, "Is this batch of wheat ready for harvest?"

"Yes, it is growing very well, and the yield is expected to be 1,000 catties

per mu!" Professor Li was happy for the harvest of wheat in front of him.

Hearing Chen Xin's question, he replied happily: "We did not interplant this

batch of wheat just to be on the safe side. Now that UU reading

www.uukanshu.com can guarantee the yield, we can start the experiment of

interplanting wheat and other crops in the next step!"

Wheat interplanting is a very common wheat planting method before the

disaster. Chen Xin has also learned about the relevant technology for the

ecological greenhouse. At this time, he heard Professor Li say that but felt a

little strange.

So he asked Professor Li: "Professor, wheat interplanting is to make up for

the lack of light and temperature of two crops a year in some areas? The

ecological greenhouse has artificially provided light and temperature. There

should be no need for interplanting, right?"

"No, this is different. Traditional interplanting is indeed to solve the

problem of insufficient light and temperature in some areas of our country

that wheat can only meet one crop a year. Interplanting other crops reduces

the competition for light and temperature in the case of two crops a year.

Question." Chen Xin's question happened to be Professor Li's professional

scope, which naturally made the old professor want to explain to Chen Xin.

He took Chen Xin to a piece of unharvested wheat, pointed to the space where

the rhizomes of the wheat plant existed, and said to him: "The ecological

greenhouses we use now can provide sufficient light and temperature, so the

purpose of interplanting It is not to reduce the competition between light and

temperature, but to make full use of the planting space and at the same time

increase the grain output per unit area.

Now these wheats use the traditional planting spacing, and then we will adjust

the spacing to be wider. Although the planting of wheat will be reduced, but

in the case of interplanting other crops, the total grain output per unit area

can be increased. So interplanting is still very meaningful! "
