"Director Xu, Bingqing is here." Li Bingqing bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"How is the construction of underground cities nationwide?"

"There are more than 600 cities across the country, and a thousand underground cities have already started construction. Tens of millions of people from the railway department, infrastructure department, smelting industry, students, and people from all walks of life have devoted themselves to the construction of underground cities." Li Bingqing He took out the tablet, walked up to Xu Qiu, and showed him the data.

"Can domestic steel and other building materials keep up with the construction progress?"

Li Bingqing did not answer directly.

The iron and steel industry is an important basic industry of the national economy and the cornerstone of the country.

In fact, there was a surplus of iron and steel production in Longguo in previous years, so a large amount of steel could be exported.

But...under the circumstances that underground cities are being built across the country, and each underground city requires a large amount of steel and other building materials, no matter how much steel is in stock in the country, and no matter how large the output is, it will not last long.

She said honestly: "The lack of steel and other building materials may be a factor that hinders the progress of the dungeon construction!"

Li Bingqing opened several sets of data. This is the crude steel that is expected to be produced after tens of thousands of steel factories and smelting enterprises across the country start work at the same time today.

"According to today's progress, it is estimated that this week, the country's crude steel production can reach 80 million tons!"

"And 80 million tons, in the past, is the output of the whole country in one month!"

"Compared to last year, the current smelting speed has a year-on-year increase of nearly [-]%!"

Li Bingqing felt a sense of pride in his heart.

This... is the Dragon Kingdom!

This is my own motherland!

"What about imports?" Xu Qiu asked slowly, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Our country has completely banned the export of steel and other war preparation materials. At the same time, it purchases steel, cement, turnover materials, wall materials, and various electrical appliances from other countries at high prices, including distribution boxes, cables, wires, fuses, etc... "

"A few days ago, my country's import volume increased by nearly [-]% compared to the same period in previous years! Twenty times!"

"The whole country is... digging deep and accumulating grain!!".

Chapter 60 Farmers in a big country, pure patriotism

Xu Qiu was very satisfied with the next few sets of data displayed.

"What about food?" he asked again.

Apart from building materials, the most important thing for the people is food.

"The Crisis Bureau has issued a message to invite vegetable farmers and food farmers across the country to expand the production scale and increase the planting area. However, the harvest of food takes time, and there is no feedback yet."

"There is no time. Vegetable farmers and food farmers may choose crops with higher economic benefits for planting, but what we... need is food that can survive!"

It's time to intervene in agriculture.

"Go invite experts from the Longguo Academy of Agricultural Sciences! Negotiate the national crop planting plan!"

Li Bingqing nodded solemnly and left the office.

Squeak.

The heavy wooden door closed.

Xu Qiu took a sip of tea and leaned back on the chair.

He looked at the world map hanging on the wall, and a feeling of overlooking all living beings rose from the bottom of his heart.

[The first year of the first year of the dungeon construction era: Longguo digs deep holes and accumulates food widely. At the same time, it lays out the transportation lines of major underground cities, and urges the national vegetable farmers and grain farmers to change their crops. 】

Dragon Kingdom time, four o'clock in the afternoon.

Two hours before the video conference.

Seven academicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Tiandu rushed to the Qinghua Garden immediately after receiving Xu Qiu's summoning order, and finally arrived at the Dangerous Information Bureau building at four o'clock!At this moment, this group of dark-skinned and muscular old people are staring at the young figure in the meeting room.

Each of the seven academicians grew out of the farmland, rice, and wheat. Their skins are the traces of the years, and they are the witnesses of the scorching sun, strong wind and sweat.If it is said, who loves the sun the most, it must be this group of farmers from a big country who are plowing in the fields! !

"Director Xu, I'm Gu Yuda, director of the Plant Protection Institute of Longguo Academy of Agricultural Sciences!" An old man with sunken eyes stood up and said.

"Director Xu, I'm Zhou Wenmao, the director of the vegetable department." An old man with mud on his ankle said.

When old man Zhou Wenmao received Xu Qiu's summoning order, he was still breeding vegetables with the best traits in the farmland!

"Director Xu, I'm Shen Ruijin from the Environmental Development Institute."

"Director Xu, I'm Ji Feisi from the Institute of Biology..."

Academicians stood up and introduced.

The peasants of these seven big countries all have the unique simplicity, down-to-earth, and...pure love for the country!

"Seniors, I am Xu Qiu!"

Xu Qiu stood up and paid tribute to the backbone of the people who helped the people of the Republic get rid of hunger and achieve food freedom.

"Director Xu, what's the important thing in your busy schedule to call us?" Gu Yuda asked in a deep voice.

Xu Qiu didn't waste any time, and said straight to the point:

"We need to hoard a large amount of food in a short period of time. What crops are most suitable for our country?"

This question is not difficult for those who have dealt with the land for half their lives.

Zhou Wenmao, director of the Vegetable Institute, said: "Director Xu, according to what you said, we need crops with a short maturity period, large yield, and a relatively long storage period!"

"If it is a vegetable crop, cabbage, radish, tomato, cabbage, leek, carrot, pepper, cucumber, etc. are more suitable."

"Among them, I highly recommend tomato and cabbage."

"Tomato is an annual or perennial herb and a short-day crop. As long as the soil temperature is kept between 60.00% and 80.00%, and the air humidity is maintained at 40.00% to 50.00%, it can be grown in almost all parts of the country under the current greenhouse conditions. tomato!"

"As for cabbage, this is one of the most common vegetables for our Longguo people. Although cabbage likes cold weather and is not suitable for sowing in summer, its maturity period is very short, only about 55 days!"

Gu Yuda, Director of Plant Protection Institute, said:

"Director Xu, I recommend planting potatoes and sweet potatoes!"

"These two kinds of crops can be used as staple food, and they are very easy to store!"

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes are both high in starch, and there are many recipes in Longguo's recipes."

"At the same time, the two crops have less pest damage, require less water, and are easy to plant. You can just dig a hole and bury them!"

Ji Feisi from the Institute of Biology said:

"Only two requirements, short growth period and large output!"

"Other aspects, such as nutritional value and storage difficulty, are not given priority. With the current level of science and technology in Longguo, even people will give you ultra-low temperature freezing and dormancy. How many vegetables can't be stored well?"

"So, let me offer a few ideas for vegetables that can be considered."

"First, sprouts, that is, bean sprouts! This is almost the fastest growing vegetable, and it only takes a week to sprout and eat!"

"Park cabbage, from planting to maturity, takes [-] days. This kind of crop is resistant to cold and high temperature, and can be grown all year round, regardless of the land or climate!"

"Water spinach is also twenty days old."

"Rape, forty days!"

"Dodder, forty days!

Chapter 61 One grain of rice saves a country!

Xu Qiu watched the seven academicians arguing.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, cabbage, the advantages and disadvantages of various crops, the impact of climate and soil environment, have all been thrown out, and there has been no result.

Xu Qiu stood up and cleared his throat.

In an instant, the conference room fell silent.

Everyone's attention returned to Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu said: "What if there is an ecological greenhouse?"

"Ecological greenhouse?" Gu Yuda's eyes lit up.

Ji Feisi said: "That's easy! What can't be grown in the shed?"

"Yes! Then it depends on the growth period and production volume!"

"As for rice and wheat, improved short-term varieties can be planted, but they are also harvested every six months, which is not worthwhile!"

"Kale and peppers are great! Bok choy is also a great choice!"

"Sweet potatoes are only mature in [-] days!"

"Potatoes are not bad either. The early-maturing varieties developed by our vegetables only take fifty days from emergence to harvest! And the yield is huge!"

After more than half an hour of discussion, the seven academicians took their missions and went to the five provinces of the southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest and central regions to guide the planting of crops in relevant areas according to local conditions.At the same time, a message was sent from the Dragon Kingdom Strategic Crisis Bureau.

[Decree of the Dragon State Emergency Bureau: From now on, all vegetable farmers and food farmers should switch to crops with short growth cycles, large yields, and long storage periods!Such as cabbage, peppers, cabbage, bean sprouts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. 】

Northeast, Sanjianghe City, double-layer underground city construction area.

In the three northeastern provinces, more than a dozen directors of several agricultural science institutes received the order and immediately rushed to the Sanjianghe City Agricultural Science Institute, which is located not far from the Shuguang City construction area!

This unremarkable agricultural institute has become the center of agricultural reform in the three northeastern provinces because of Shuguang City!

When Gu Yuda arrived at Sanjianghe Agricultural Science Institute, facing more than a dozen directors, he showed a red-headed document.

"Decision on National Crop Reform, Planting Crops with Short Growth Period and Large Yield"

"From today, vegetable farmers and food farmers across the country will follow the instructions in the document, and all land will be used to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, cabbage and other crops!"

"All crops with a remaining growth period of more than eleven months shall be eradicated immediately, and the state will make reasonable compensation according to the eradicated area and value!"

"Third, economic crops with high technical and regional characteristics are completely stopped! Including but not limited to cotton, sericulture, hemp crops, tea, coffee, tobacco leaves, ginseng, etc.!!" "All land that has been eradicated, idle Land, immediately start the planting of short-term high-volume crops!"

"Food is the most important thing for the people. The underground city needs to store a lot of food. The country and the people...need food!!"

Gu Yuda's voice was trembling.
