The annual new product launch conference of Future Technology Group is over, and Cai Ruichen has not been idle because of this.

Another big problem that plagues the development of Iraq and Syria, and indeed the Middle East as a whole, is the issue of climate.

In fact, from North Africa to West Asia, there are the same problems, at the beginning of the development of human civilization, a large number of felling trees and a large number of animal husbandry development, but also because of climate change, the Middle East and North Africa, the world's largest desert region.

In the past, the Arab civilization did not start with camels, but goats, and as the desert grew, camels became the main animal husbandry.

At this time, a large amount of grain in Iraq and Syria also relied on the import of Future Technology Group, and the supply of local food was simply not enough to meet the basic food needs of the people of the two countries.

War is an economy that is also a logistical one, and if a country cannot even supply its own domestic food, then the war will become extremely difficult.

Just like Japan during World War II, when faced with the U.S. naval blockade, it was not only steel and crude oil that could not be shipped to Japan, but also those grains.

As a result, in the later stages of World War II, Japan's domestic food supply was often in the middle of the situation, and hunger was also a common memory of the Japanese people at that time.

Although Cai Ruichen is not worried about the blockade of food sources in the future war, he cannot rely on the outside for everything.

The territory he owns in the future. It is not only Syria and Iraq, so it is necessary to solve the problem of domestic food self-sufficiency.

After all, imported grain has also greatly increased the cost of living for the domestic people. There is no doubt about that.

And it is impossible for all Iraqis to participate in the development of industry.

In the past, the proportion of Iraq's agriculture was also extremely high, and Iraq's famous dates were once a large export income of the Iraqi government.

Moreover, the development of animal husbandry also needs agriculture to assist, and Cai Ruichen had no choice but not to think about these in the past.

But the temperature is getting higher day by day. Coupled with the shrinking development of agriculture, Cai Ruichen is also quite anxious.

If it was said that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice before, now. The greatest opportunities for agricultural development in Iraq and Syria are also emerging.

Outside the town of Marin, in the south and in the west, in the wilderness, all because there is no running water to irrigate. It can only be abandoned farmland. Then it was gradually eroded by wind and sand and turned into a wild Gobi.

At present, the small amount of agriculture that Iraq has is concentrated in the river basin, and the place where the Middle Eastern civilization was born has also retained a little agricultural foundation for Iraq.

Since a year ago, a large number of Iraqi farmers have been concentrated and have begun to clean up the abandoned farmland.

Although there is not much rain to see in the sky. But Future Technology Group has said it will divert water from Lake Sersar to irrigate all nearby farmland.

A year of time. Nearly 50 million acres of abandoned farmland have also been developed, for which Future Technology Group has also prepared a large number of excellent seeds.

A large number of seeds have also been distributed to farmers, but to everyone's confusion, it seems that Future Technology Group has not yet started to build a water diversion project.

With 50 million acres of farmland and more than 30,000 square kilometers of land, almost all of Iraq's barren Gobi has been developed.

This is equivalent to one-fourteenth of Iraq's land area, and this utilization rate has reached an alarming level.

Once there is sufficient rainwater irrigation, coupled with uniform fertilization and high-yield seeds from the Future Technology Group, it only takes one season of harvest to reach at least 50 million tons of grain production, which can meet the needs of Iraqis with a population of only 30 or 40 million for three years.

And with the development of agriculture, the development of animal husbandry will also usher in better development, and the two are complementary to each other.

To this end, Future Technology Group has also prepared a large number of agricultural machinery and equipment to meet the demand for 50 million acres of farmland in the future.

It's just that a year has passed, and the grain is still not planted, because the dry land cannot be used for cultivation at all.

It's just that the Agricultural Development Company of Future Technology Group has been guiding all Iraqi farmers to build agricultural water storage engineering facilities.

On average, every square kilometer of the world, there are ponds dug to store water, which can be used to directly irrigate farmland and can also be used to raise freshwater fish.

The pond is large enough and deep enough that it leads directly to Iraq's underground river, and only if it has rained, it will be filled with water even if there is no rain for months in the future.

When all these projects were completed, all 5,000 acres of farmland were prepared for nearly a year.

Recently, all registered farmers have also received seeds according to their land.

Although there is still no drinking water project, Future Technology Group said that there will be a lot of rain in the weather this year, so even if there is no drinking water project, it can be used to grow food.

Farmers who were skeptical also began to observe the weather according to the weather forecast of Future Technology Group.

However, several days passed, and the climate was simply hot and dry, and there was no feeling of heat before the rain came.

At this time, and in the past two days, the weather forecast of Iraqi state television has also begun to appear reports that it will start to rain the day after tomorrow.

According to the report, the weather forecasting team using the new phased array weather radar technology is almost certain that the rain will arrive in two days.

Iraqis, who don't know much at all, choose to believe.

Today, the sun is still shining in the sky, and it doesn't look like it's going to rain at all.

This made all the farmers who took the seeds to the paddy fields to prepare a little anxious, and in the awning of the fields, the farmers from the nearby fields gathered together in twos and threes, and they were all a little anxious.

"It's not raining, it's noon, and you can't see a single cloud in the sky."

"That's right, it's been a long time since it rained, and it's raining heavily, which is a bit unreliable."

"I believe that Mr. Cai will not lie, he said that there is rain, let's wait."

Hearing one of them talk about Cai Ruichen, everyone's anxiety calmed down somewhat.

And just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the heavy rain, an off-road vehicle suddenly appeared on the field, and the car slowly stopped on the edge of the cement roadside awning.

Under the curious eyes of those Iraqis nearby, Cai Ruichen opened the car door and walked down. (To be continued.) )
