Galaxy Technology Empire

November 2017 was a busy month.

Especially Shanmei, after the launch of Galaxy Technology’s chip production line.

HiSilicon Chip Company of Huawei Company, Huada Chip Company of BGI 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 when they saw it. It was understandable that Huawei and Ziguang would join in the fun, but why did Sanxin also run over?

And didn’t Galaxy Technology say it won’t sell chip production lines? Then what will Hua do for them? This move is too big, and they are working hard to directly enclose the land and build factories.

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

The person in charge of the official website of Galaxy Technology replied that he had no plans to sell it.

There is indeed no sale. After all, leasing cannot be regarded as a sale. It will be given away directly after expiration, so Galaxy Technology is not a lie.

However, Huawei, Unisplendour, and Huada Semiconductor directly invested tens of billions in Shanmei. Is it just for a shell?

After all, they have not announced any plans to purchase photolithography machines. This only shows that their production lines are most likely to not use photolithography machines. They are the only chip production lines in the world that do not use photolithography machines. So, then It’s Galaxy Technology.

Anyway, many people in the country are talking about it now, and they are all speculating whether Galaxy Technology will sell the production line to Huawei.

These external disturbances did not disturb Huang Junjie.

On November 29, Fengdu Group’s first experimental vertical agriculture building was completed.

Huang Haojie, Lin Liangshen, the president of Fengdu Group, and others arrived not far from Pinghe Town in Haicheng County.

A thirty-story building stands next to the farmland, standing out from the crowd.

"Director Huang! This is the first vertical agriculture building we built. It covers an area of ​​16,000 square meters, with 30 floors above ground and three floors underground, with a total area of ​​528,000 square meters." Lin Liangshen introduced to Huang Haojie as he walked. .

"How much is the construction cost of the building?" Huang Junjie asked as he looked at the building.

"There is no computing equipment or anything like that. The building costs about 1,700 yuan per square meter, and the total cost is about 900 million yuan." Lin Liangshen quickly told the cost situation.

Huang Junjie calculated in his mind that 528,000 square meters is equivalent to about 792 acres, and the unit utilization rate of vertical agriculture is about 16 times that of traditional agriculture, which means that this building is equivalent to 12,600 acres of farmland.

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

According to the latest domestic official statistics in Dongtang, the Northeast region has the largest vegetable output per unit area, 46995.6 kg/ha; followed by the Eastern region, 42058.4 kg/ha; the central region, the vegetable output per unit area is 34531.8 kg/ha; the Western region The yield of vegetables per unit area is the lowest, 28693.7 kg/hectare.

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

6,300 acres can produce 17,600 tons of vegetables.

Based on a retail price of 3 Chinese yuan per kilogram, it can generate approximately 500 million Chinese yuan in revenue per year.

Of course, this calculation is relatively rough. After all, the price of vegetables is different, and the yield per unit acre is also different.

And Huang Junjie 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 Junjie then asked.

Lin Liangshen nodded: "It's basically completed. Experimental planting will begin next week."

"Didn't you encounter any difficulties or problems?"

"There are some problems, such as the amount of light from the LED bulbs is not enough to supply 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.

"As 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 written it down! Contact the Materials Research Institute later, Mr. Huang, how about we go inside and take a look?" Lin Liangshen came to the door of the vertical agriculture building.

Huang Haojie nodded.

A group of people walked into the agricultural building. The first floor and the three underground floors were filled with equipment. For example, the third floor below was the assembly area of ​​the water circulation system, the second floor below was for electrical equipment, and the first floor below was the warehouse for fertilizers, pesticides, and tools. .

The first floor is the main control room and transportation area.

Because it is experimental in nature, the 2nd to 5th floors are temporarily the aquaculture area, the 6th to 10th floors are the livestock and poultry breeding areas, and the 11th to 30th floors are the planting areas.

On 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 does this equipment and facilities cost?”

"A total of about 340 million yuan."

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

Otherwise, the overall cost of this building will definitely exceed 3 billion yuan.

Some workers are planting strawberries.

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

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

"Well! You must use your own seeds. In addition, you can arrange to establish a Dongtang native seed bank. Even if the yield of your own seeds is low, you will still use them. I will never allow Fengdu Group to use genetically modified crops." Huang Haojie responded to this matter Things are extremely determined.

The risks of genetically modified things are huge.

A biological evolution cycle is often measured in tens of thousands of years, but genetically modified organisms produce new evolutions in a matter of months or years with artificial intervention.

Without the precipitation of time, and because humans have not yet fully understood the overall understanding of biological genes, if they rush to cross-species hybridization under such circumstances, it can only be said that these biologists are very courageous.

Here we want to popularize the difference between traditional hybridization and genetic modification, because many people easily confuse the two.

Traditional hybridization, to use a metaphor, is equivalent to the mixing of various human races.

Of course, there are also extreme cases in traditional hybridization, such as mules, the product of the combination of a horse and a donkey, and ligers, the product of a lion and a tiger. These extreme hybrid products have to pay a price, which is the loss of reproductive ability.

Transgenics are even more extreme. Hybridization is carried out within the same species, but transgenics are hybrids that cross biological boundaries.

For example, double-resistant transgenic tomatoes are made by adding a certain gene from the worm to the tomato gene.

It means adding animal genes to plant genes. This already crosses two boundaries. Who can guarantee the safety of these genetically modified products?

The uncertainty of genetic modification is very great. 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, thus giving rise to super-resistant weeds, super bacteria or viruses. kind.

Huang Junjie’s plan to establish a native plant seed bank cannot be delayed.

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

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

At present, Dongtang has approved a total of 5 major categories of genetically modified varieties. All approved are raw materials for processing, not approved for direct consumption/use. Of course, these genetically modified products also have non-genetically modified varieties.

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

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

However, in some areas of the country, there is the phenomenon of seed theft or wrong planting.

In 2014, the genetically modified soybean incident occurred in Heijiang Province, causing native soybean production areas to be contaminated by genetically modified organisms.

Currently, the world's largest supplier of genetically modified seeds is Monsanto, and there is a lot of trouble involved.
