Chapter 218 217. Still Good Friends

In fact, you don’t need to bring it.

The multi-span greenhouse is right next to the solar greenhouse and can be seen as soon as you look up.

The solar greenhouse is more than three meters high and sixty meters long, which is as long as two and a half basketball courts. It already looks very large.

But compared with the giant townhouses, it is just a baby.

Luo Yihang's multi-span greenhouse is six meters high, and including the sunshade net on the top, the height is a full six meters and eighty meters.

Almost reaching the third floor.

It is 55 meters wide and 115 meters long, which is about the same size as a standard football field.

The greenhouse planting area is 5,000 square meters and the supporting area is 700 square meters.

These 700 square meters are the disinfection area, temperature control area, operation area, stacking area, supporting equipment, and most importantly, the core of smart agricultural equipment, the data processing center.

It is divided into big data processing, control and traceability systems.

Twenty monitoring sensors that control the four areas in the greenhouse, as well as a series of supporting equipment such as water and fertilizer regulation, carbon dioxide, soil temperature, humidity, light, etc.

There is also a comprehensive meteorological station and linkage control system installed outside the greenhouse.

This stuff is old and complicated.

So the solar greenhouses are all in use, but the multi-story building here has not been completed yet.

The only thing missing is the debugging and installation of the equipment inside.

Luo Yihang took Qi Ruomu into the multi-span greenhouse.

Because they came in from the south side, and the supporting facilities are all on the north side.

So the planting area is right at the entrance.

This place is divided into four areas across a cross, and there are many workers installing various equipment.

Luo Yihang did not disturb them. He first found Li Zheng and asked Li Zheng to send an excavator to dig fifteen tree pits beside the ginkgo forest.

The old tea trees that Qi Ruomu said he would send will arrive the day after tomorrow. There are fifteen trees in total. Let’s dig the pits first.

Li Zheng agreed and went to find someone.

Luo Yihang took Qi Ruomu around the greenhouse and introduced them.

"Although smart agriculture can be controlled in sections, the one I built here is too small. It would be best to divide it into four areas, each of which is only 1200 square meters, less than two acres."

"Like you said last time, I plan to grow the expensive ones here."

"Snow peas, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes."

"There's still one place I haven't decided on yet. Which do you think is better: chives, cherry radishes, or strawberries?"

There are experts here, it would be a waste not to ask.

Qi Ruomu smiled and said, "I have the brochure with me. I'll show you what's new when I get back."

"What journal?"

"It's a journal published by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, once a quarter, and contains the results of various scientific research institutions. I'll ask them to send you a copy later."

He wasn't very interested in this, but was very concerned about the tomatoes. "What kind of tomatoes are you growing here? You also grow some in the small greenhouse outside, right? What kind are they?"

"What else could it be? Millennium. We plant a lot of them. The big ones outside are early harvest ones. My family has always planted this variety." Luo Yihang replied.

Qi Ruomu became excited, "Forget about the outside, since you haven't planted anything inside yet, how about trying cherry peanuts?"

"Grow peanuts?" Luo Yihang asked curiously, then thought for a moment and said, "Peanuts are fine too."

"Pah." Qi Ruomu slapped himself, "I'm talking about a variation of cherry tomatoes, peanut tomatoes, number 609."

"Then what's the abbreviation?" Luo Yihang understood. It's not peanuts, but peanut tomatoes. "What's the benefit?"

"High sweetness, less."

These two points are enough.

Luo Yihang decided to follow the advice and entrusted the matter of getting seedlings to Qi Ruomu.

Qi Ruomu agreed quite readily.

It's difficult.

Walk through the planting area.

Enter the supporting area.

This place is divided into several parts, and a partition wall is built inside the greenhouse to divide it into three areas.

The largest area is open space, where the picking and packaging will be done later.

Next to the planting area is a long strip separated by a wall, which is the equipment area, where all kinds of supporting equipment are installed.

The control center is also separated by a wall on the west side.

The interior is arranged like an office in an office building, with desks, computers, and server cabinets.

There is a man busy inside.

After Luo Yihang brought Qi Ruomu in, he introduced the two to each other, "This is Yang An, the technician of Smart Agriculture. This is Qi Ruomu, a researcher at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

The two shook hands, and Engineer Yang smiled and said, "I've heard of you, Professor Du's student. You're researching ecological fertilizers, right? I've read your paper."

"Yes, hello, hello." Qi Ruomu was quite reserved in front of outsiders.

After the two scientific researchers introduced themselves to each other, they exchanged a polite remark and then got stuck.

Eyes wide open.

Luo Yihang quickly changed the subject, "Engineer Yang, can you help me check if there is any peanut tomato in the database? Researcher Qi just provided me with this variety."

"609." Qi Ruomu added.

"Oh, okay." It was obvious that Engineer Yang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to start operating.

Luo Yihang poked Qi Ruomu and whispered, "Don't you know each other?"

Qi Ruomu shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice: "There are thousands of people in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and we are not from the same institute, so how can I know them?"

"No wonder. I thought you two were colleagues."

The two chatted quietly, and Engineer Yang also found out, "We have 609, unlimited growth, eight inflorescences on the main stem, eight ears, sweetness 10.1, and the picking period is twelve to fourteen months."

Qi Ruomu nodded after listening, "That's it."

Luo Yihang was also relieved. Since the variety was in the database, he could plant it. It could be processed automatically and it saved him a lot of trouble.

The so-called unlimited growth means that if the temperature environment is suitable, it can continue to grow, bloom and bear fruit without stopping. In the field, the picking period can reach three to six months.

It’s even worse in the greenhouse, at least six months and at most three years.

Come out from Engineer Yang's side.

Luo Yihang thought of something, "What if the new species you mentioned is not in the database?"

"Then just choose the one that has one." Qi Rumu said indifferently. He was quite open-minded.

After completing a circle, I came out of the greenhouse.

Qi Ruomu asked, "You just said that I should find someone for you. Who do you want?"

“They are the people who operate smart agriculture.” Luo Yihang replied.

Qi Ruomu pointed inside, "Isn't that him?"

Luo Yihang shook his head. "I do think so. Engineer Yang will stay for a few days after debugging the equipment. Once it runs smoothly, he should leave. I don't have anyone to take over."

Qi Ruomu pointed inside again, "No one from their side introduced me?"

"Engineer Yang said that they are purely for scientific research, not teaching, and everyone has their own job. I also asked Ma Zhitao about this, and the requirements for operation are quite high. He asked around but couldn't find anyone suitable."

"What's the request?"

"Interdisciplinary, majoring in agriculture and computer science..."

Among the five benefits given by Professor Du.

Luo Yihang feels that the most important thing is the qualification to use this smart agriculture system.

The stuff is amazing, it’s definitely high-tech and a top scientific research achievement.

Compared with the automated equipment used in the solar greenhouse, it is just as Qi Ruomu said, the difference between the J-6 and the J-20.

However, advanced equipment requires advanced talents to operate it.

Most people really can't figure it out.

Just like when we set up a mushroom bag factory before, we thought that once the equipment arrived, we could just find a place to install it and use it.

In fact, if it weren’t for Luo Minghai, who knows how big a mess the mushroom bag factory would have been in.

Not to mention smart agriculture, which has many times higher technological content.

Luo Yihang deeply feels what is most important in the 21st century - talent!
"So, I thought that since you are a teacher, you must have a wide network of contacts and a lot of ways. Last time you came here, you had so many junior students who had no place to stay every year. Now is the opportunity." Luo Yihang flattered Qi Ruomu with his words.

He looked at Qi Ruomu with a particularly frank and expectant smile.

Qi Ruomu frowned and rubbed his forehead. "He has to be someone who studied agriculture and knows computers, right? Such people are hard to find."

"Brother Qi, I believe you, it's okay!"

"Bullshit! I have a problem."

"I'll take care of all the food for your family." Luo Yihang used his ultimate move and chose bribery.

Speaking of this, Qi Ruomu was no longer sleepy, "You said it."

"As I said, every spit is a nail!" Luo Yihang patted his chest loudly.

"I'll ask for you. If the salary is sufficient, there should be people willing to come." Qi Ruomu also patted his chest.

Luo Yihang is so angry. He won't do anything until he sees some benefits.

Then Qi Ruomu rolled his eyes and sighed.

Luo Yihang immediately stopped being angry, thinking that something unexpected had happened.

Finally, Qi Ruomu sighed and said, "It would be great if it were next year. Next year, I can apply for a doctoral operation point here, and there will be someone to do whatever I want."

"Doctor's operation point? Free labor?" Luo Yihang asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"PhD students at the Agricultural University and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences need a place to actually operate. It's called a doctoral operation point," Qi Ruomu explained.

"You mean to turn this place into a doctoral operation point and let the doctors do the actual operation?"

"You have smart agriculture here, and you also have the Evergreen Biological Research Institute, which is a cooperative unit of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It's a good place. There's a doctoral supervisor who can help you apply, and it should be approved. But the ones who come here are all green hands, or as you say here, green hands. It's unclear whether they can be of any use."

Look how stylish the words are.

A PhD, a PhD from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, is just a greenhorn in other people's eyes.

Damn, Luo Yihang was angry because his girlfriend Ding Rui was a doctor.

But, it smells really good, "Doesn't it cost money?"

"Nonsense, the operation point does not require money, what is needed is the project."

It’s better to be free. Luo Yihang was cheered up and instantly forgot what he just said, that free things are the most expensive.

"Then can I apply now?"

"You can't do that now. Evergreen Biotechnology hasn't come yet, and there's no doctoral supervisor."

"Where can I find a doctoral supervisor? Brother Qi, are you a doctoral supervisor?"

"I'm not yet."

"Professor Du?"

"Professor Du is not short of it."

"Where is that?"

"Not yet... not yet anyway."

Luo Yihang turned into a chatterbox, ding ding ding back and forth, and Qi Rumu was stuck.

"Wait, you didn't come back, right?" Luo Yihang suddenly realized.

"You were planning to tell me about Dr. Wei. Just now in the greenhouse, when I asked you what you were planting, you didn't care. You only cared about tomatoes. You are a fertilizer researcher, but you remembered the tomato serial numbers so clearly. Your senior sister is a tomato researcher, right? Your senior sister will be returning to China next year. She will be qualified to be a doctoral supervisor, right?"

Luo Yihang pointed his finger at Qi Ruomu, "Good fellow, I was wondering why you agreed to everything so readily today. If you want to take something, you must give it first. You are playing this trick on me. You want to bribe me, but you are CPUing me!"

Qi Ruomu spread his hands and said, "Just tell me, are the benefits I gave you enough? What else are you not satisfied with?"

Satisfied, of course I am satisfied.

But, "Hey, there's no one else here, tell me, what is the relationship between you and your sister, white moonlight? Crimson mole? You already have a wife and children, why are you still doing this?"

"Get out!" Qi Ruomu got angry.
