Superman, Man of Steel, Female, 6 Years Old!

The hundred or so researchers who came to Tokyo from Aomori Prefecture to conduct isolation experiments were doing exactly this.

Among them, because the vine version of the biological battleship is a semi-enclosed space, the problem of food production is divided into simple production and methods within the floor space, and completely sealed in alien colonies in outer space. The way of high difficulty production.

After so many years of closed biosphere experiments, the scientists on Earth are not fake.

So the mode of producing food in the floor space of the vine version of the biological battleship is actually just a simple matter of sprinkling water for them.

In the space on the ground floor, the two fully enclosed agricultural modules and the simple version of the control group that Anna built before, to these researchers, are just outdated technologies several years ago.

The projects they have researched and paid attention to in these years, in terms of grandeur, are to rebuild the biosphere of the entire earth in the future, and to use these technologies in future planetary transformation projects and giant space cities.

This is much more powerful than Anna's low force project that was only intended to be used to grow vegetables in the magic building from the beginning.

So after getting these one hundred scientists and researchers, the original fully sealed one is fine.But what Anna made first, the simple version of the farm module, was outdated in an instant before the first batch of vegetables were planted.

Because for outer space, the airtightness of this module is not enough, and for planting on the earth, and in the semi-encapsulated space of the magic building, too many mechanical arms, conveyor belts, There are also water pumps and other things that seem to be too expensive.

Although these things are money for scrap steel to Anna.But if other people and organizations want to mass-produce this simple version of the farm module in the future...the cost is still not enough.

So just ten minutes after Anna's original ground floor, the scientists in the researcher provided Anna with two different simple agricultural module solutions.

Because research funds are abundant, automated farms and vertical farms are not rare technologies in this world.

The difference between them and traditional farms is only whether the cost is suitable, and whether it is necessary.

So the two options given to Anna by scientists are very mature commercial technologies. Anna was useless before, the first reason is...

She can use the cost of scrap steel to build the outdated simple version of the farm by herself.

And the second one is that there are many patents of commercial listed companies in it...

And she didn't have much money at the time, and she could spend it to buy a full set of technologies from those listed companies.Besides, people will definitely sell them...

However, after the introduction of the global 'exclusive share law', these previous problems are much easier to solve.

With Anna's current points and research funding, she can also freely choose patented technologies that have entered the public domain.

And those automated farm technologies that she couldn't afford and couldn't buy, at this time... and because those countries need to earn points, these unimportant things have entered the global public patent field.

Scientists now provide Anna with two types of farm technologies to choose from, which are divided into two types that use sunlight completely and those that do not use sunlight at all.

And both technologies are mature technologies of many listed companies in the world.

The first vertical farming technology that fully utilizes sunlight originated from Sky Greens in Singapore, who developed a planting technology called "A-Go-Gro".

Using hydraulics and gravity, the technology develops multiple layers of troughs in a rotating A-frame vertical structure up to 9 meters high with 38 tiers of growing troughs that can accommodate different soil or hydroponic growing media.

The growing troughs automatically rotate around the frame of the A-frame, switching positions at a rate of 1 millimeter per second, ensuring that the crops receive even sunlight, irrigation and nutrients as they pass through different points in the structure.

Compared with traditional single-layer farms, Sky Greens' vertical farming system can increase land use efficiency and increase the yield per unit land area by at least 10 times.

And most importantly, it uses natural light completely, without artificial lighting.This is very suitable for Anna who has the godhead of the sun god.

Because she can hang one or several free sun-like light sources on every floor used for agricultural production.

As for the energy consumption of this little sun and how to maintain its light, it is enough to connect it to the vine network in the magic building and the quantum energy supply chain.

Not even the power generation of the Ark reactor is needed.

And this rotating frame, which uses a unique hydraulic water drive system, uses the energy of flowing water and gravity to rotate the growing tank to power the tillage system.

Only 1.7 liters of water is needed to rotate the 0.5-ton vertical structure, and the water is stored in a closed underground reservoir, which can be pumped to a high place with a water pump and recycled.

Power consumption per rotating tower...

In conversion, it is only equivalent to a 60-watt light bulb.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

The power consumption of this vertical farm, it is only equivalent to a 60-watt light bulb.

Moreover, its construction cost and maintenance cost are also the lowest, not to mention Anna, who can prostitute metal for nothing and the Japanese government pays back the money, even other companies have the lowest cost to build this kind of farm .

After all, it's a 9-meter-high A-frame, some planting troughs, and things like chains and water pumps, and there is hardly any high-tech and extra sensors and electricity to consume the cost of planting.

This mode is very suitable for planting in Anna's current floor space.

Well, except that there is no automatic system for planting and picking, so a lot of hands are needed for harvesting, and the output is only ten times that of traditional farms, this solution has few disadvantages.

Although this is a bit inconvenient for Anna and the others, after all, she doesn't want to have a lot of hired workers coming in and out of her farm every day.

However, for the fugitive human beings who have no shortage of manpower in the future, whether it is in the floor space of the biological battleship or in the future underground base, as long as the free light source problem is solved...

Even without the Ark reactor with controlled nuclear fusion, they can use this seemingly not-so-high-tech technology to grow sufficient food production.

Section 269 Chapter 267 The second set of future agricultural plans

The second set of agricultural plans provided by scientists to Anna.

It is a vertical farm solution with the highest energy consumption but also the highest output that is all piled up with high technology and integrated with the technologies of several commercial companies.

It is different from the previous vertical farm solution from Singapore that is low-carbon and low-cost.

In the latter scheme, although the average yield per mu can reach 390 times that of traditional farms.

However, in terms of construction cost, maintenance cost, and power consumption, no matter which one it is, it beats the previous low-cost scheme of using natural light in Singapore.

Its biggest advantage is that it does not use soil, nor does it need sunlight and rain during the entire planting process. It only needs to sow seeds on rows of racks with constant temperature indoors, and spray fertilizers through remote control, without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Some American companies that use the aerosol cultivation method can even complete the whole process of planting vegetables from seed to harvest, and then to the table in as short as 12 to 16 days.

This high-tech solution allows Anna and the others to use technology to control every aspect of the growing environment on the farm, including temperature, humidity, light, water, and plant nutrition. They can also customize the simulated solar spectrum of LED growth lights, etc. thing.

It adjusts the plant's chemical composition to engineer vegetables with the highest quality nutrients and taste.

This means of tailoring nutrition and taste is also a major advantage of fully automated plant factories over traditional farms.

For example, there is a vertical farm called Espec Mic in Japan. They can plant inorganic green leaf lettuce in seawater drawn from a depth of 800 meters. After deployment, they can cultivate calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Lettuce with fresh and tasty leaves.

And this kind of lettuce is not only cultivated in seawater, but also tastes more delicious than traditional similar crops.

Such high-tech farms have existed for several years, whether in the United States, the Netherlands, Dubai, or Japan, and many commercial companies are constantly updating their technologies.

Just in Japan alone, there are already 182 plant factories in operation.

The largest Japanese vertical farm company is Japan's Spread Company, which is located in a plant factory in Kameoka City near Kyoto. The entire factory has only two buildings covering an area of ​​2 square meters.

The total planting area has reached 2.52 square meters, and 2.1 heads of lettuce can be harvested every day.

In other words, for every 1 square meter of area, this plant factory can produce 304 lettuces per year.

After using more advanced automatic technology, the Spread company's Techno farm in Tokyo has doubled its direct output, and the lettuce output per square meter has reached as many as 648.

However, although the output of these vertical farms is hundreds of times that of traditional farms, the annual sales of these high-tech vertical farms actually only account for a little bit of 0.15% of Japan's domestic vegetable market.

The biggest reason for this situation is that although these vertical farms in the city eliminate the food transportation and processing process, save fuel, save labor costs, and also reduce losses during transportation.

But these costs are not big at all in this automated farm.

Their biggest disadvantage, in addition to the huge cost of construction and equipment maintenance and depreciation, is the main reason is too much power consumption.

Therefore, before the advent of cheap energy from controlled nuclear fusion, these high-tech plant factories, which have hundreds of times the output of traditional farms, are still unable to occupy a larger market.

In addition to only being able to grow ultra-fresh vegetables with a short growth period and high added value, these high-tech agricultural companies can only survive in the commercial society if they are located within large metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka.

Such as wheat, corn, soybeans and rice, these growing seasons are the main food crops in the world, and it is impossible for them to grow them in the vertical farms in their own companies.

Because after doing the calculations, the light is just the lighting cost in a vertical farm, if wheat is grown indoors.

Then for every wheat needed to make a loaf of bread, the electricity cost of these companies will reach a terrifying $11.

But this is for other companies.

Like after Anna's Ark reactor came online.

Even if they only grow wheat, their electricity cost is only about one-thousandth of others.

In other words, the electricity cost for Anna and the others is only about 1 cent for the wheat needed to grow a loaf of bread.

In addition to using only 1% of water resources.

After installing fully automated robots, Anna's vertical farm can also save 40% to 50% of labor costs.

If the produced vegetables are sold in the market in Tokyo, then the fresh vegetables in Anna's magic building can save the cost of trucks and distribution centers that cost 30% to 45% of the price of vegetables on the shelves.

After excluding the electricity cost that accounts for more than 60% of the total cost of those planting companies in the world today, Anna's profit will be more than twice their average level.

Of course, this is because Anna didn't use any cost-saving methods when building the farm. All automation equipment and farm equipment were purchased at market prices.

But this is practically impossible.

Because for a person who even picks up the metal raw materials to be recycled from scrapped cars at zero cost, and all the automated robotic arms are rubbed by hand, the cost of building a fully automated vertical farm is even higher than that of those commercial companies. None of them.

If even the LED light strips can be produced by herself, then the construction cost of this kind of farm is relatively tiring, but for Anna, it is almost nothing.

The most important point is that, in addition to reducing the fuel used to transport food, after using the non-polluting ark reactor, Anna's method can almost completely eliminate the carbon emissions during the planting process of crops.

Don't think that the carbon emissions of crops are very small when they are grown.

We must know that 80% or more of carbon emissions in the agricultural sector are actually generated on the farm, not during processing and transportation.

So as soon as Anna's second type of vertical farm with the highest technology is launched.

Then she can almost completely eliminate carbon emissions in the agricultural production process.

Chapter 270 Chapter 268 This wave, the target of this wave is the giant standard agricultural module in outer space

In the most high-tech farm module in the design, Anna and the others not only have zero emissions when the farm uses electricity.Even the smelting of metal raw materials during construction, the manufacturing of automated production lines, and the most power-consuming...

When producing LED light bulbs, after using the Ark reactor, Anna's factory can also achieve zero emissions.

This kind of operation to reduce carbon emissions may be inconspicuous in other worlds, at most it is praised by environmental protection girls and scientists.

But in this world of Dragon Maid, this kind of agricultural production mode that is extremely friendly to the environment, as long as it goes online...

In the case where the main tone of the world is there.

Then its power will be incomparably huge.
