Is vegetables more expensive than meat? Shen Ning and Zou Xiaodong both showed surprised expressions. Wu Hao had been here before and knew about it, so he wasn't surprised.

Lin Jiaming nodded and said, "That's right, vegetables are more expensive than meat." In particular, vegetables and fruits are all transported from the mainland. Moreover, vegetables and fruits are more delicate, not like cold meat, and they are not easy to transport and preserve.

Although these vegetables and fruits themselves are not very expensive, they are more expensive if you add the cost of transportation and preservation. ”

"Aren't there any vegetables in the local area, and can't you source them locally?" Zou Xiaodong couldn't help asking.

"Local!" Lin Jiaming said: "However, because the climate is relatively arid, the vegetables here are some drought-tolerant crops, with relatively single varieties and very small yields.

As for the scientific researchers in our base, basically all of them are from the mainland, and many of them are from the south. I'm not used to the climate anymore, and if I don't get used to the diet, I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a few days.

We can't change the climate and geography, but we can imagine a way to eat it.

That's why it took so much effort to transport fresh vegetables from the mainland. While this will add a lot of logistical costs, it's not worth mentioning compared to the value created by the researchers. ”

Hearing Lin Jiaming's words, Wu Hao nodded in approval and said, "That's right, this is what I asked them to do." It's a tough environment, and there's only so much we can improve. So we have to make every effort to make sure that all the employees here can have a better living and working environment.

When the food is good, everyone will be in a good mood, so that they will be more motivated to work, and the value created will be much higher than the cost.

This is also my consistent insistence, in the company, and here we must also treat everyone equally. Even because of the difficult environment here, I asked for better food here than at our company headquarters, which is a kind of compensation for the employees who live and work here.

This is true for food, for life, and for salary changes. ”

"I want to come to work as you said." Shen Ning took a sip of cold drink and said with a smile.

Wu Hao looked at her and smiled: "Okay, I'll transfer you over when I go back, it just so happens that there is a lack of a general person in charge here."

If you can be here, I am most assured. ”

"Well, I'll talk about it, I'll talk about it." Hearing Wu Hao's words, Shen Ning hurriedly confessed. Although she had been with Wu Hao for so long, she still couldn't figure out Wu Hao's temper. Although she was joking, who dared to guarantee that Wu Hao would not be serious, and he really transferred her here when he turned around.

If that's the case, then she really wants to cry without tears. Although it is a prince who comes, what is the difference between this and the distribution of the frontier, how can it be more popular than the position of the chairman's secretary.

Wu Hao and Lin Jiaming immediately laughed when they heard this, and Shen Ning's face turned red, and then he changed the topic and said: "Then why don't you choose to grow vegetables in the base, which can not only reduce costs, but also allow the employees of the base to eat fresher vegetables." ”

Hehehehe......

Lin Jiaming smiled, then nodded and replied: "This is indeed a solution, and we have thought of it a long time ago." It's just that the first phase of the construction of the base has just been completed, and the second phase of the construction is still under intense construction, and the vegetable factory with soilless cultivation technology has not yet had time to be completed and used.

As for outdoor planting, it requires improving the soil, which is a relatively slow process. Secondly, our biologists are needed to breed drought- and salinity-tolerant vegetable crops. ”

Soilless cultivation technology, this technology is very mature. In fact, some of the vegetables used in big cities, such as lettuce, chrysanthemum, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., are many of them from such soilless vegetable factories.

Through the scientific ratio of nutrient solution and temperature and light, the vegetables in the factory can grow at the best and fastest speed in the most suitable environment for them, and the quality of the vegetables can also be maintained as the best, and there are no pests and diseases, and there is no need to use pesticides, which is safe enough.

What's more, it avoids natural disasters and many uncertainties, and keeps vegetables available throughout the year in consistent condition.

Now the vegetables cultivated in this vegetable factory have become an important source of vegetables in major supermarkets because of their good quality and safety enough.

It's just that although the vegetables processed in this way are in good condition and safe, they lack the taste of soil-grown fruits and vegetables, as well as those rich trace elements.

But in today's world of food safety, these taste and trace elements are not important.

This is also the reason why we keep complaining that today's vegetables are less and less of their original taste.

On the one hand, because it is cultivated without soil in a vegetable factory, and on the other hand, because it is fast-growing. This means that the vegetables are harvested before they are ripe, then sent to the shelves for sale, and finally delivered to your mouth.

So today, with the continuous improvement of our material life, everyone's demand for high-quality food is also increasing.

Now everyone is no longer just pursuing the freshness and safety of vegetables, but has begun to pursue the taste of vegetables. So then, a large number of organic lettuce and farmhouse vegetables were baked.

But for such a harsh desert base, as long as there are enough fresh and safe vegetables, fruits and vegetables. As for the rest, what kind of bicycle do you want?

In the face of such difficult conditions, the only way to quickly change the status quo and make fresh vegetables available to everyone is to build a modern plant factory to prepare fresh vegetables and fruits.

In terms of modern agriculture, intelligent agriculture and unmanned agriculture, Wu Hao and they are also involved, and they are doing very well.

Therefore, in the planning of the base, there is such an intelligent unmanned plant factory, which is used to prepare the vegetables and fruits required by the base, and is also used to cultivate some other plants. For example, delightful fresh flowers, and other plants.

The entire intelligent unmanned plant factory is similar to the shape of the hangar that Wu Hao and the others went to just now, but it adopts a steel-framed glass structure. The interior is divided into zones, each of which is divided into layers from top to bottom.

Each floor can be seen as a plant planting module, which is used to grow various vegetables, fruits and other plants.

The whole factory adopts intelligent unmanned management, including the temperature, light, humidity and so on in the factory, which are managed by intelligent systems.

In addition, from the sowing of plant seeds, to cultivation, to the final harvesting, all are handled by professional robots operated by intelligent systems.

In other words, people only need to choose what kind of vegetables and fruits to harvest, and then wait for the harvest.
