Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 114 Test Building
November 2017 was a busy one.

Especially Shanmei, after Galaxy Technology's chip production line conference.

HiSilicon Chip Company of Huawei Company, Huada Chip Company of Huada Semiconductor, Ziguang Chip Company of Ziguang Group, and Dongtang Sanxin who came to join in the fun, these semiconductor companies have settled in Shanmei.

Many people were stunned. It is understandable that Huawei and Ziguang went to join in the fun, but what the hell is Sanxin running over?
And didn’t Yinhe Technology say that they would not sell chip production lines? Then what would Hua do for them? This move is too big, and they are working in full swing to directly enclose land and build factories.

It made many people feel itchy, and they left messages on the official website of Galaxy Technology, asking whether Galaxy Technology will sell chip production lines.

The person in charge of Yinhe Technology's official website replied with a word that there was no sale plan.

It is true that there is no sale. After all, the lease cannot be regarded as a sale. After the expiration, it will be given away directly, so Yinhe Technology is not a lie.

However, Huawei, Tsinghua Unigroup, and Huada Semiconductor invested tens of billions directly in Shanmei. Is it just for a shell?
After all, they may not have announced plans to purchase lithography machines. This can only show that their production line is very likely to not use lithography machines. The chip production line that does not use lithography machines is the only one in the world. It is Galaxy Technology.

Anyway, many people in China are talking about it now, and they are all guessing whether Yinhe Technology will sell the production line to Huawei.

These disturbances outside did not bother Huang Haojie.

On November 11, Fengdu Group's first experimental vertical farming building was completed.

Huang Haojie, Lin Liangshen, the president of Fengdu Group, and others came not far from Fair Town, Haicheng County.

A [-]-storey building stands beside the farmland, looking like a stand out from the crowd.

"Huang Dong! This is the first vertical agriculture building we built. It covers an area of ​​1.6 square meters, with 52.8 floors above ground and three floors underground, with a total area of ​​[-] square meters." Lin Liangshen introduced to Huang Haojie as he walked .

"How much is the construction cost of the building?" Huang Haojie looked at the building and asked.

"There is no computing equipment and so on. The building is about 1700 Chinese yuan per square meter, and the total construction cost is about 9 million Chinese yuan." Lin Liangshen quickly told the cost situation.

Huang Haojie calculated in his heart that 52.8 square meters is equivalent to about 792 mu, and the unit utilization rate of vertical farming is about 16 times that of traditional agriculture, which means that this building is equivalent to 1.26 mu of farmland.

Assume that 50% of the area is used for planting.

According to the latest data from Dongtang domestic official statistics, the output per unit area of ​​vegetables in the Northeast region is the largest, at 46995.6 kg/ha; followed by the eastern region, at 42058.4 kg/ha; the output per unit area of ​​vegetables in the central region is 34531.8 kg/ha; The yield per unit area of ​​vegetables was the least, at 28693.7 kg/ha.

Taking the data in the east as a reference, the yield per mu is 2.8 tons.

6300 mu, can produce 1.76 tons of vegetables.

Based on the retail price of 3 Chinese yuan per kilogram, it can generate about 5 million Chinese yuan in revenue a year.

Of course, this calculation is relatively rough. After all, the price of vegetables obtained is not the same, and the yield per mu is also different.

And Huang Haojie can't grow vegetables, after all, this kind of thing is really competing with the people for profit.

"Liangshen! Have the other equipment inside been completed?" Huang Haojie then asked.

Lin Liangshen nodded: "It has been roughly completed, and the experimental planting will start next week."

"Did you encounter any difficulty, or problems?"

"There are some problems. For example, the amount of light from LED bulbs is not enough to meet the growth needs of tomatoes and cucumbers; and the cost of the water circulation system is too high, especially the service life of the filter device is very short." Lin Liangshen thought for a while and said Condition.

"For the problem of the water circulation system, you can communicate with the Materials Research Institute to see if we can use our own materials instead." Huang Haojie ordered.

"I've made a note of it! Go back and contact the Materials Research Institute, Mr. Huang, how about we go inside and have a look?" Lin Liangshen came to the door of the vertical farming building.

Huang Haojie nodded.

A group of people walked into the agricultural building. The first floor and the third basement were all equipment and the like. For example, the third floor was the assembly area of ​​the water circulation system, the second floor was electrification equipment, and the first floor was the fertilizer, pesticide, and tool warehouse. .

The first floor is the general control room and transport area.

由于是实验性质的，所以暂时2～5层是水产养殖区域，6～10层是牲畜家禽养殖区域，11～30层是种植区域。

The top floor is a group of wind turbines.

As Huang Haojie walked, he observed the settings of each floor and the quality of the building. Overall, he was quite satisfied.

"How much do these facilities cost?"

"A total of about 3.4 million Chinese yuan."

Huang Haojie knew that most of these things were produced by Fengdu Group itself, and the price was relatively much cheaper.

Otherwise, the overall cost of this building will definitely exceed 30 billion Chinese yuan.

Some workers are planting strawberries.

Huang Haojie picked up one of the seedling trays: "Are these strawberries the seeds of our own company?"

"Yes! We all adopt the seed of our own company."

"Well! You must use your own seeds. In addition, you can arrange to build a Dongtang native seed bank. Even if your own seed production is low, you still have to use it. I will definitely not allow Fengdu Group to use genetically modified crops." Huang Haojie said to this matter. The matter is extremely firm.

The risk of genetically modified things is very huge.

A biological evolution cycle is often measured in tens of thousands of years, but genetically modified humans have produced new evolution in a few months and a few years under the condition of artificial intervention.

Without the precipitation of time, coupled with the fact that human beings have not fully figured out the overall understanding of biological genes, it can only be said that these biologists are brave enough to carry out cross-species hybridization in this situation.

Here I want to popularize science, the difference between traditional hybridization and genetically modified, because many people tend to confuse the two.

Traditional hybridization, to use a metaphor, is equivalent to the mixed blood between various human races.

Of course, in traditional crossbreeding, there are also extreme situations after all, such as mules, the product of the combination of horses and donkeys, and ligers, the products of the combination of lions and tigers. These extreme hybridization products have to pay a price, that is, the loss of reproductive ability.

But genetically modified is even more extreme, hybridization is carried out in the same species, but genetically modified is a hybrid that crosses biological boundaries.

For example, the double-resistant transgenic tomato is to add a certain gene in the worm to the tomato gene.

It is to add animal genes to plant genes, which has crossed two worlds. Who can guarantee the safety of these genetically modified products?
The uncertainty of genetic modification is very large, and it may cause human allergies and drug resistance, and may also cause ecological disasters, because the genetic factors of genetically modified crops may spread to other plants, resulting in the birth of super drug-resistant weeds, super bacteria or viruses. kind.

Huang Haojie's plan to establish a native plant seed bank is imminent.

Fengdu Group absolutely prohibits the use of genetically modified crops or animals. Huang Haojie would rather increase costs than encourage the opening of this Pandora's box.

The genetically modified vegetables and fruits currently on the market in Dongtang are mainly anti-virus genetically modified papayas.

At present, Dongtang has approved a total of 5 types of genetically modified varieties, all of which are processed raw materials, rather than approved for direct consumption/use. Of course, these genetically modified products also have non-genetically modified varieties.

So far, the genetically modified crops approved for distribution in China: insect-resistant cotton, virus-resistant papaya.Both are grown commercially on a large scale.

Genetically modified crops such as soybeans, corn, cotton, rapeseed, and sugar beet can only be imported and used as raw materials for processing, and domestic non-scientific research institutions cannot grow them.

However, in some areas of the country, there is a phenomenon of stealing or wrongly planting.

In 2014, the genetically modified soybean incident in Heijiang Province occurred, causing the original soybean production area to be polluted by genetically modified soybeans.

Currently, the world's largest supplier of genetically modified seeds is Monsanto, which is tricky and deep.
