Chapter 357, The Importance of Space Agriculture

"Boss, this is some of our ideas about space farmland. Please take a look."

After discussing the matter of seed and genetic technology, Ran Hao and Liu Zheng sent Liu Yuan a concept and design of space farmland through a virtual machine.

"Yeah, I'll take a look first."

Liu Yuan nodded.

The development of agriculture in space is a trend because it can make full use of the light and space in space and stay away from pests and diseases, which is the focus of research on Xinghai Agriculture in the future.

Research on how to farm in space.

The virtual machine worn by Liu Yuan soon received a document. The virtual world was created by Xinghai Technology. There is a special virtual world inside Xinghai Technology for work, convenient communication, work and confidentiality.

Many important things are not even files, and they are directly passed between the virtual world to ensure high security and confidentiality.

The space farmland structure designed by Ran Hao, Liu Zheng and others appeared in Liu Yuan's mind.

The entire space farmland is actually a bit similar to a large space city. First, build a core hub, then continuously expand and continue based on the core hub, and finally form a large-area, multi-level, fully automated, and intelligent space farmland.

According to this design, although the size of a space farmland may not be very large, it is only 100 acres in size, but because it is in space, it can be designed with a lot of layers, and the light in space is

In 24 hours, through automatic calculations and adjustments by computers, even if many layers of agricultural planting areas are designed, their lighting needs can be fully guaranteed.

If we count it, a space farmland with a designed area of ​​only 100 acres can be comparable to the effect of thousands of acres or even tens of thousands of acres of land on the earth.

Because if you are growing crops on the earth, season is also a factor that needs to be considered.

For example, rice cultivation, the more rice is planted to the south. Some places can only be ripened once a year, but some places can be ripened twice a year or even three a year, and Southeast Asia can be ripened for two years.

Seven cooked.

This is mainly related to light and heat. If the temperature is too low, it is impossible to plant rice.

But if placed in space, the rice planting time can be fully guaranteed. There is no distinction between seasons, that is, it can be planted and grown all year round, plus 24 hours of full light, and infinite

space.

The efficiency of this space farmland will be very high, far from comparable to that of the farmland on the ground.

This is the biggest advantage of space agriculture, light, heat and space!

"This space farmland is designed very well."

After reading it carefully, Liu Yuan also expressed his appreciation.

If you want to talk about developing space agriculture, it was just theoretically possible to achieve it at all, but it would be different if the anti-gravity technology appeared. The emergence of anti-gravity technology greatly reduced the cost of going back and forth between space.

Massive amounts of materials can be transported into space at a large scale at extremely low costs, and the cost of building space farmland can also be greatly reduced, which lays the foundation for the development of space agriculture.

Without anti-gravity technology, many space-related industries cannot develop.

Moon mining, space agriculture, space industry, etc., these require cheap technology to travel back and forth to space to achieve and develop.

"Boss, I haven't learned about space agriculture seriously before. I think this is a conceptual thing that comes up casually and has no meaning."

"However, after carefully studying, we all think that your boss is really powerful, and this space agriculture really has great potential."

When Ran Hao, Liu Zheng and others heard this, they immediately laughed, and then began to talk to Liu Yuan about the prospects of space agriculture.

"That's right!"

When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately laughed.

Nonsense, space agriculture is the direction of civilization development.

After the parent star civilization develops into a star civilization, its population will often increase sharply. It is obvious that the pressure will increase to feed the increasingly large population with the land on a planet.

Therefore, we must find land outside, and the space in space is infinite, and the light and heat are infinite. Developing agriculture in space is something that almost all stellar civilizations will choose.

On the one hand, it can protect the environment of the mother star, and on the other hand, it can obtain more food to feed more people.

Population is also an important indicator to measure the level of development of a civilization.

Not only quantity, but also the most important quality.

The number of scientists that can emerge in a civilization determines the scientific research level and scientific research strength of this civilization.

The more scientists and the more geniuses there are, the more scientific research level and scientific and technological strength will naturally not be much worse.

On the contrary, if there are not many scientists, how strong can this scientific research level and scientific and technological strength be?

The birth of scientists has a lot to do with education. Where the education level is high, the proportion of scientists will naturally be higher. For example, in areas that attach importance to education around the world, scientists and engineers will be born more.

There are not many Jews, but they attach importance to education and have many scientists born, and they don’t know how many Nobel Prize winners are. This is a good example.

On the contrary, if there are no emphasis on education, such as in Africa, education is not important and backward, the number of scientists born is rare and the number is pitiful.

Of course, with the development of civilization, education will be generally valued. If you value education, I will also value education, and even if both sides are similar.

What determines the speed of development and technological strength of a civilization is the population.

A country with a population of more than one billion, as long as education is paid attention to, a variety of talents will naturally emerge, scientists, engineers, etc. will emerge like carp crossing the river.

But in a country with a population of only a few million, even if you attach importance to education and the high quality of education, the scientists that can be born will be limited.

Why can we develop so rapidly?

It’s not because we have a huge population and attach importance to education that tens of millions of college students come out of society every year. Although they seem to be working for elementary school students, if it weren’t for them, many of our industries would not be able to develop at all.

Our industrial system is very complete, and almost all products can be produced by themselves. This is our huge advantage, which other countries do not have. The basis of all this is our population and education, which has given birth to a large number of them.

Talents can meet the needs of all walks of life.

So population is a very important thing.

Many times people only see that there is a larger population, less resources, and greater competition. They complain that there are too many people. If there are only a few hundred million people in our country, it may be like this.

This is a typical idea of ​​thinking that there are too many people when eating and there are too few people when working.

I did not see the importance and great role of human beings.

The civilizations in the interstellar universe often have a population of trillions, occupying a large number of life planets. How many scientists can you give birth to such a huge civilization?

Perhaps the total number of scientists born in one period is more than that of you on the entire earth, so the speed of this technology development is naturally far beyond your imagination.

Of course, a huge population means a huge demand. Not to mention anything else, at least you should be able to have enough food.

Therefore, space agriculture is born, making full use of space and light and heat in space to increase agricultural output to meet the increasingly large population needs and get rid of the influence and limitations of the parent star on the development of civilization. Such civilization

Only when civilization that has separated from its parent star has entered the stage of stellar civilization.

Space agriculture plays an extremely important role in it, providing enough food to an increasingly large population and supporting a huge population.

With a huge population and a reasonable education system, a large number of scientists will inevitably be born, among which some genius scientists will continue to emerge.

In this way, this civilization can continue to develop to a higher level under the leadership of genius scientists, under the reasonable promotion of a large number of scientists, and develop from a stellar civilization to a higher level.

This is a process that will be experienced in the development of almost all powerful civilizations in the interstellar universe.

Liu Yuan is very clear about this, and it is also a reason why the technology on Earth is developing slowly and slowly.

That is, population growth is slowing down.

Of course, this population growth refers to the population growth of developed countries and regions. The population growth in the Third World is still very rapid, but although the population in the Third World is growing, education cannot keep up.

Education in developed areas is very good, but population growth cannot keep up.

Whether in Europe and the United States or in several countries in the East, the population fertility rate is basically very low, and population growth is trapped in a huge problem.

Life is getting better and better than before, but people are less and less willing to have children. The consequences are serious, that is, the population growth is slow, the number of talents will be born, and education will be more and more complicated.

At the time, the so-called emphasis on education is actually to encourage growth, rather than truly following a process of development and growth.

If this continues for a long time, and people pursue more enjoyment, naturally, fewer scientists will be born. Often, the development of science and technology is a process of continuous accumulation, and the development of later development requires more scientists to be able to

Continuous accumulation and breakthroughs.

You should know that in the era of great knowledge explosion, it is already difficult to learn and inherit the knowledge content of our predecessors alone, let alone continue to move forward. Without enough talents, it is impossible to continue to make breakthroughs.
