When the higher authorities and Brigade Commander Lei's old troops tasted the first batch of vegetables produced at the planting base, they all called to congratulate the planting base, saying that it had created a new era for the planting industry for the country and the people.
They raved about the new vegetable variety.
They also assigned a special person to deliver a banner of appreciation.
The higher authorities quickly dispatched personnel to transport scientific research equipment for the planting industry.
Although Zheng Ya brought all that equipment back from North America, it was all handed over to the state for unified allocation.
Zheng Ya supports any department without reservation, including his own planting base, and doesn't engage in any unconventional practices.
When Secretary Song arrived at the planting base for the second time, Ouyang Wenqian and her six companions had just moved into the courtyard house and were cleaning.
The six of them were in high spirits, humming songs and dancing happily as they cleaned the paradise-like courtyard house. Secretary Song walked into the central garden of the courtyard house and said, "Hey, all you technicians are having so much fun?"
"Secretary Song, hello!" All six of them recognized him as their superior special envoy, a specialist who entered and exited the planting base, and his status was extraordinary.
Secretary Song nodded with a smile: "I came here specifically to deliver research equipment to you..."
"Wow, our research equipment has arrived! Sisters, let's go see the research equipment..." Ouyang Wenli interrupted Secretary Song's topic with a joyful jump, and pulled her sister to run outside.
The other three women followed and ran outside, leaving the only man feeling extremely awkward. Who should he consider a sister?
Secretary Song chuckled: "Haha, if you want to go see the equipment, then go ahead."
"Haha, Secretary Song, you're joking. I'm quite good at cleaning, so I won't go." Gong Weiping waved her hand in refusal, refusing to be a sister to anyone.
You're not getting any ideas about making a fool of yourself.
Secretary Song, smiling, ascended the inner staircase to the third floor. Zheng Ya appeared at the entrance, blocking his way: "You, the comrade who's transferring my equipment, seem to be in a good mood?"
"Haha, you're misusing labor, so it's not wrong for me to ask you for my wages, is it?" Secretary Song had become familiar with him, and her words were sharp and confrontational.
Zheng Ya said irritably, "You won't even pay me a penny of wages? Do you think I welcome unpleasant guests?"
"Don't be like that. The higher-ups are very interested in your new vegetable variety and would like to ask about the specific production details," Secretary Song explained.
The two walked downstairs side by side, exited through the back door, and smiled as they watched Ouyang Wenqian and the others touching and examining the research equipment: "Now they have something to do."
"Director, you've come at the right time. Let's quickly set up these research equipment so we can start our research work," Ouyang Wenqian greeted Zheng Ya and made the request.
The others stepped forward, nodding in agreement, all with eager and impatient expressions.
Zheng Ya said with a laugh, "Why don't you just have someone deliver the equipment to the science and technology building for installation?"
"Does this even need asking for permission?"
"The science and technology building? Where is it?" Ouyang Wenqian was speechless. Was this kidding her?
Ouyang Wenli suddenly turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, I knew I saw something just now, but I thought I was seeing things?"
"So you weren't mistaken, our planting base really does have a technology building! Look, isn't it over by the central pavilion?"
"My goodness! When did our planting base build a technology building? How come I didn't know?" the girls exclaimed and ran towards the technology building.
Secretary Song was taken aback and teased, "Comrade Zheng Ya, you're up to something again!"
"It's nothing, just a technology building being parachuted in." Zheng Yazhen didn't care about this little commotion; at most, she would only be surprised by a few people inside the planting base.
If this kind of thing isn't spread, nothing will happen.
The science building comes from a science and technology laboratory building in North America.
The building is constructed entirely of white marble, with a dome and three independent square floors.
The science and technology building has an interior area of over 120 square meters.
Originally intended as a detached building for petrochemical research, showcasing wealth and status, it was designed to be a pristine and immaculate structure.
Zheng Ya found it pleasing to the eye and brought it back, turning it into a place for scientific research at the planting base.
Secretary Song gave a thumbs up in admiration: "You're awesome. Come on, let's go to the greenhouse and introduce your new vegetable varieties."
Honestly, I've been here countless times, and I never knew your new vegetable crop was produced so quickly.
"This is nothing!"
In my hydroponics system, we sow a batch of seeds every three days.
The time in between is used to clean and change the nutrient water, preparing for the next batch of vegetable planting.
Otherwise, we would plant a batch every day.
See that? The seven-tiered planting system uses a mechanical joystick to control the temperature.
In this way, one person can change the position of the seven-layer planting trough to maintain a suitable temperature for vegetable growth.
Changing the planting trough and shaking it helps the vegetables absorb nutrients better, which is called "massage-style growth promotion." Zheng Ya led him on a tour of the greenhouse.
The seven-layer planting system is truly breathtaking.
Is this using one greenhouse as seven greenhouses?
All the vegetables are grown in the air; not a single vegetable is grown on the ground.
This left Secretary Song dumbfounded: "My God, is it possible to grow vegetables like this?"
That's truly imaginative and unbelievable.
These are probably all your handiwork, aren't they?
"Correct answer, but no reward." Zheng Ya was also very pleased and felt a great sense of accomplishment!
The vegetable greenhouses at the planting base are surrounded by a ring of heated sheds.
Behind the greenhouse is a water channel for easy access to water.
The greenhouse occupies a little over one-third of the area, with the rest being dryland planting areas, intercropping areas for trees and wheat and sorghum.
Of course, Zheng Ya had already planned and managed the trees in the planting base. There were all kinds of trees, but not many. The trees were planted according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams pattern.
If you look down at the planting base from the air, it resembles a Bagua diagram.
Secretary Song was overwhelmed by the sights: "I'm truly impressed, you're amazing."
By the way, how many varieties of vegetables do you grow?
Am I referring to the fact that they grow vegetables of different qualities, seven, eight, and nine?
"Yes, of course!"
Today's harvest is for grade nine vegetable seeds; grade seven and eight vegetables are not yet ripe.
The exact maturity time is yet to be determined. Zheng Ya observed that the higher the seed quality, the longer the maturation period.
Or rather, it has very high requirements for soil, water, and fertilizer.
Ouyang Wenqian and others are working on overcoming this problem.
Although the seeds are of different qualities, they belong to the same type of seed and should theoretically have the same growth cycle.
Since the same seeds can produce different results, the problem lies in the soil, water, and fertilizer.
After all, these seeds, from grade one to nine, have not yet reached the level of spirit seeds. They have not been planted in places that require spirit stones and spiritual energy to achieve transcendence and sainthood. Therefore, they are all ordinary seeds, and it is reasonable for them to be planted in ordinary ways.
The different growth cycles indicate that the seed quality requirements demand a harsh growing environment, which urgently needs to be addressed.
Secretary Song excitedly pressed on, "You've given us a wonderful surprise!"
By the way, what's the yield of the seventh and eighth grade vegetables?
