    Chapter 209: Agricultural mechanization is necessary

    Old man Chen smiled so hard that his old face wrinkled up, and he grinned so much that he almost dropped his cigarette butt. This girl was so impatient.  The com Nongnong Station does not produce agricultural machinery. The government serves farmers and provides training and maintenance. There is no agricultural machinery at the station.  "

    Xie Ling was stunned, but Wang Lu knew about it. This was not surprising. Just like the director of the Agricultural Bureau was definitely not a big contractor, it was normal for the agricultural machinery station not to have agricultural machinery. It was more responsible for maintenance and promotion.  If farmers want agricultural machinery, they have to go to the factory to buy it.

    Wang Lu told Old Man Chen, who was still laughing, that although the agricultural machinery station does not produce agricultural machinery, they sometimes help farmers connect with manufacturers. Maybe with luck, a batch of new agricultural machinery may just arrive at the station.  Besides, you have to contact them for agricultural machinery maintenance. Before this biochemical crisis broke out, there must have been major grain growers sending their agricultural machinery for maintenance, right?  We don¡¯t ask for more, just having one is enough. After all, we don¡¯t have a place to hide the rice. We have harvested so much that there is no place to put it.  "

    Old man Chen slapped his thigh and said, "Xiao Wang is a sensible person. What you said makes sense. After all, we still have to find an agricultural machinery station."  "

    ??

    Wang Lu could understand the meaning of Old Man Chen's words. For a long time in the future, everyone will be farmers, and this agricultural machinery is the key among the keys. Even if there are no agricultural machinery waiting for maintenance in the agricultural machinery station, in the long run, it is still  In order to "defeat" agricultural machinery stations, the complete sets of maintenance tools, various spare parts, engine oils and lubricants in the agricultural machinery stations are real treasures.

    Wang Lu suddenly thought of something. In fact, this matter had been put in his mind for a long time. However, everyone around him was an ignorant farmer, so it would be useless to ask. Now that Old Man Chen, a good farmer, was in front of him, he could not help but ask.  Asked when the watch was due, he quickly asked the old man, now that the rice has been harvested, do we still have to plant rice?  If you want to grab both, you have to harvest and sow.  If we also plan to plant late rice, do we have any seedlings?  Also, I heard that it is impossible to save seeds for hybrid rice. What will happen to the seeds in the future?  Don¡¯t we have older farmers in rural areas who can grow traditional rice varieties that can save seeds?  "Don't skip words.

    Wang Lu¡¯s call was so fast and urgent that he even leaned out of the sofa and drooled without realizing it.

    Old Man Chen was confused by this question. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally managed to sort out Wang Lu's question. He put out the cigarette in his hand on the ground and said in a straight and clear manner that we Yonggang farmers don't like to eat hybrid rice. That rice  The taste is not good, so some large grain growers only grow it and sell it to the state. Our local farmers grow the grain for home use and use local early and late rice seeds, such as Ning 88 and Xiushui 134.  It is possible to save seeds at home. As long as the seeds are selected well, it will not be a problem to plant them again next year.  only¡­¡­"

    When Wang Lu heard that he could save seeds, he was already greatly relieved. This guy was also fooled by reading online posts. He once read an article on the seed war on Tie Xue.com, saying that all the seeds in the world were destroyed by Mengdu.  Under the control of international giants such as Mount Mengdu, farmers around the world cannot save seeds, and the seed cultivation of Mount Mengdu is factory-based production. If terrorists attack the seed storage warehouse of Mount Mengdu, people around the world will have no seeds to plant.  Everyone must starve to death.  Wang Lu was stunned for a moment. These Chinese farmers were growing the famous hybrid rice, and the characteristic of hybrid rice is that it cannot save seeds.  Although the food in stock can ensure that there will be no food supply crisis in the short term, sitting on a mountain without food is always an option. Farming is the way to go.  The problem is, if you can¡¯t save seeds, then it¡¯s useless to plant them.

    Now that I heard Old Man Chen say that there are seeds that can be planted, I put my worries aside.

    But Old Man Chen obviously didn¡¯t want to let Wang Lu take it easy. After hesitating for a long time, he finally realized that I just didn¡¯t have any rice seeds in hand.  "

    Wang Lu almost jumped up from the sofa, "Old man, didn't you just say that you can save seeds?"

    Old man Chen coughed a few times and said that this kind of seed can be kept. However, in our rural areas, there is no saying that every household saves seeds and raises seedlings. In previous years, there were several large specialized rice-raising households that collectively saved seeds and raised seedlings. They have good technology and have various talents.  There are special facilities for growing rice seedlings, and the rice seedlings grown are much better than those grown by small households like us. When we want to transplant rice seedlings, we order them from them.  "

    Wang Lu was in a daze - what a scam, this is the harm of agricultural industrialization. Each link has a dedicated person responsible for it, and the links are interlocked. Under normal circumstances, this method can greatly promote the development of productivity, just like  Old man Chen said that the seedlings produced by large rice cultivators are definitely better than those produced by retail farmers, but the problem is that once an emergency occurs and the chain is broken, even if only one link is broken, the entire chain will be finished.

    Wang Lu holds one ten thousandth of hopeHe asked the old man in a babbling tone, "Do you think it's possible? That big seedling breeder has already cultivated all the seedlings. Let's go look for it. Maybe we can find it?"  "

    Mrs. Cui had been listening, and then she interrupted and said, Xiao Wang, these seedlings are grown at the end of June and the beginning of July. Think about it, at that time - "

    Wang Lu understood what Mrs. Cui said. At that time, a biochemical crisis had already broken out. It was too late to escape. Who would have the time to raise seedlings?

    Old man Chen sighed. "Little Wang, raising seedlings is a delicate job. It's not like I haven't thought about raising seedlings. But first of all, the rice at home has been ground into rice long ago. I can't choose any kind. Secondly,  , and there is a lack of tools for building greenhouses, so we will definitely not be able to plant late rice this year.  "

    Wang Lu was a little frustrated, but he still forced a smile. It's okay. Once the summer rice is harvested, we can save seeds to plant early rice. It's just one season of late rice planting. It's okay.  "

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Old man Chen, "Xiao Wang, even if we save and cultivate seedlings, we won't be able to plant too many fields by planting alone. Without the help of large agricultural machinery, we won't be able to plant many fields."  "

    Wang Lu, Old Man Chen is being too polite. He should not use the word "we" but "I". There are a total of 6 people in Yashan and Houlong Village, but only Old Man Chen is the real person.  How many fields can a farmer grow by himself without the help of machinery?  Not to mention that after the seedlings are planted, they still need to be managed in the later stages, including watering, fertilizing, and removing insects.  The rural fields in the south of the Yangtze River are severely fragmented. Unlike the northeast, they are not suitable for large-scale mechanized planting. Just look at the fields under the cliffs. The rice fields are mixed with vegetable fields, bamboo forests, lotus root ponds, aquaculture ponds, rushes, etc., with ditches and ridges.  What's even more outrageous is that there are ancestral graves at the head of some fields. In such places, agricultural machinery can be driven with ease.

    Wang Lu sighed and said, "Old man, I understand what you are saying. Even if we plant a field, it will be troublesome to have no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. If not, we will have to go back to the old days of relying on the weather for food."  "

    What is it like to rely on the sky for food and farming?  Just look at North Korea. The fields are the same and the farmers are the same farmers. But because of the international blockade, there is no fertilizer or pesticide. A slight drought or a flood will lead to a nationwide famine.

    Old man Chen also sighed. Xiao Wang is a sensible person. There is no way to farm without chemical fertilizers and pesticides nowadays. You city people talk about being environmentally friendly and healthy every day, saying that you can¡¯t use pesticides or fertilizers. Hey, we don¡¯t use pesticides or fertilizers in this field.  Just the insects can eat them all, but you city dwellers still eat a lot of shit.  Now, okay, it is environmentally friendly and healthy, but the yield is hard to say. Now we are farming, and a single crop of rice can produce 500 kilograms, and some with good craftsmanship can grow 900 kilograms.  I estimate that if we can produce 200 kilograms per mu without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it will be a blessing from God.  "

    The yield per mu is 200 kilograms, which is not much, but it is still quite a lot.  Wang Lu silently calculated that even if the per capita ration was 300 kilograms per year, plus feed and grain, six people would be able to survive on ten acres of land.

    But there is a saying that goes well. If you have food in your hands, don¡¯t panic. No one will encounter natural disasters in the future. The more food, the better. According to Wang Lu¡¯s mentality of a rich man, he must not lose sight of everything he sees.  Only by planting rice can we feel at ease.

    Old man Chen coughed and said that this was a bit far away. Anyway, we will not starve to death. The most important thing now is to get farm machinery and finish the harvest this summer first.  "

    ¡° All things considered, we still have to get the agricultural machinery station.

    Xie Lingteng stood up immediately. Old man, tell me, where is the agricultural machinery station?  "

    The agricultural machinery station is right next to the town government on the left side of the central bridge in Yinjiang Town.

    Wang Lu and Xie Ling both turned pale.

    This is not the past two people just grab a handful of monsters and run away. The agricultural machinery station must become a stable stronghold. Not only can slow-moving agricultural machinery be driven out of it, but also the agricultural machinery must be sent for maintenance from time to time in the future.

    Therefore, killing zombies and killing a large number of zombies in the center of Yinjiang Town has become the only feasible way.

    Wang Lu gritted his teeth tightly and asked for a long time, old man, how many days are left until the summer harvest?  "

    Old man Chen pinched his fingers and said that it would be a week at most - it must not exceed 10 days.  "

    Wang Lu stood up and told Xie Ling to go and kill the zombies.  "

    For 7 to 10 days, the two of them have to go deep into the center of Yinjiang Town and kill as many zombies as possible. Not even a second is wasted.

    Old man Chen stood up and sent Wang Lu and Xie Ling out. He said that I would look for him in Houlong Village first. I remember that someone came to collect the old cow-pull.  Although the soil harvester is not as good as the oil-burning agricultural machinery, it is much faster than manual harvesting. It is suitable for our old cows.  In case you are there"

    Wang Lu nodded,If Xie Ling and Xie Ling failed and the agricultural machinery stronghold was not captured, they would have to rely on the old cow that was grazing in Old Man Chen's yard. At this time, Old Mrs. Cui walked to the old cow and patted the old man's horn.  Don't look down on this old guy. These days, I add food to it every day and feed it raw eggs, just waiting for it to sell its labor.  "

    Lao Niu seemed to understand what Mrs. Cui said, and he let out a hum and flicked his tail.

    When Wang Lu and Xie Ling bid farewell to Old Man Chen and Mrs. Cui, Old Man Chen repeatedly warned that it was important to build the agricultural machinery station, but his own life safety was more important. Even if he could not build the agricultural machinery station, people would not starve to death. The worst he could do was to collect less rice and wait for him.  If you find an ox-drawn soil harvester, you will come to Yashan to help Wang Lu and Xie Ling.

    We rowed the boat back to the Yinjiang River and found the raft. Wang Lu supported the bamboo raft and Xie Ling rowed the boat all the way back to the foot of the cliff mountain.

    From time to time, it starts to rain.

    After tying up the bamboo raft, Wang Lu jumped into the boat and Xie Ling started rowing with tacit understanding and rowed along the Yin River towards the center of the town.

    Xie Ling pointed while paddling. Last time, in order to find Wang Bi'an, I walked along the river into the center of the town. Before reaching the pier at the end, I passed a bridge. It was quite big and could pass two cars in both directions.  It should be the bridge that Mr. Chen mentioned. The agricultural machinery station should be on the left side of the bridge.  "

    Wang Lu wiped the raindrops off his face. There must be a lot of zombies.  "This is not a question, it is a statement.

    Xie Ling nodded a lot.  "

    Wang Lu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. If he was given enough, he and Xie Ling would have the confidence to clean up the zombies in Guangyinjiang Town. However, what they were missing now was.

    The minimum is 7 days and the maximum is 10 days. How many zombies can Xie Ling and I kill?

    Zombies that are slowly awakening their instincts are becoming more and more difficult to kill. The instinct to cooperate and hunt, the instinct to avoid light and hide, no matter how many instincts zombies have to awaken.

    Invite Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an to kill zombies together?  Forget it, those two will only add to the chaos.

    Wang Lu was in a mess and couldn't figure out a clue, so he simply shook his head, "Damn it, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Let's go to the town center bridge that Xie Ling said first, and then find the agricultural machinery station."

    The boat slowly entered Yinjiang Town. The river began to narrow here, but it also became deeper. There were more houses on both sides of the river. After a while, a fork appeared. Wang Lu recognized this fork, so he went to the left.  It's a mountain weir.  Xie Ling steered the boat straight forward, straight into the town.

    Wang Lu looked up blankly. This was already the center of the town. When he and Xie Ling climbed over the wall on the roof, they had never been here before. Abandoned cars could be seen everywhere on the road along the shore. There were several  The car also rushed into the river. Several houses had half burned down, and there were even signs of explosions. It was probably caused by gas bottles. This kind of rural town does not have piped gas, but luckily it didn't, otherwise,  Pipeline gas explosions can be more powerful.

    People can be seen everywhere on both sides of the river and on the balconies of buildings, and they are all zombies.

    It rained today, and without the sun, it seemed that the zombies were happy to come out for a walk. They were crowded on the road in groups, and soon some zombies hit the boat in the river, and then alerted more zombies.
