Chapter 71 The First Corn Harvest
It is not impossible to pull out the corn stalks one by one. The corn stalks in these 30 acres of land are not a big job for the two robots.
With the development of science and technology today, wouldn’t it be too low if I let two of the most advanced intelligent robots do the most primitive work?
How to deal with the plucked straw? It is useless to put it in the space. Even if I transport it to the real world, there is no place to store it. It becomes garbage. It requires manpower, material and financial resources to deal with it, and the gain outweighs the gain.
After harvesting this wave of corn, I plan to continue planting. It is impossible to do this again during harvest.
So, I considered mechanized operations.
I checked online and found that there are combine harvesters for sale in the provincial capital. What excites me even more is that they don’t burn diesel fuel but are driven by electricity. This kind of machinery is just suitable for working on a small island in space. There are solar power panels on the island, so it can be charged easily.
convenient.
I immediately drove to the provincial capital, went to the agricultural machinery market, and bought an electric combine harvester specifically for harvesting corn. I pretended to climb into the cab, started the engine, and drove fearfully to the street, looking for a deserted place.
Sent into space.
When Rufeng Ruxue saw such a huge thing coming in, she was surprised at first. When I told them it was a combine harvester, Rufeng quickly understood, climbed into the cab, and started to drive it very skillfully.
The wheels rolled and drove into the cornfield.
The corn cobs have been broken off in advance, and the harvester goes through the field mainly to break up the stalks.
The harvester was running back and forth in the field. Ruxue was very excited when she saw it, and insisted on going up for a test drive. Rufeng took the initiative to give up her seat, and the two robots drove for a while, just like playing house, and soon they were
The corn stalks on 30 acres of land have been harvested.
The land needs to be plowed again, otherwise it will be impossible to plant again. I visited several agricultural machinery markets and found a large tractor that can plow the land. The reason why it is so difficult to find is not that there are no cultivators on the market, but that it is difficult to find electric-driven tractors.
.This kind of machine is an emerging product and is in the promotion stage.
I immediately purchased one and sent it to the space.
They drove like wind and snow again, and soon the land was plowed.
When she learned that I planned to continue planting corn, Ruxue asked me for corn seeds.
Since I want to mechanize farming, I can no longer use the primitive method of digging holes and sowing seeds, so I simply bought an electric-driven corn seeder.
Thinking that I would plant corn continuously, I purchased a batch of corn seeds at a time from a seed company in the provincial capital, so that I would not have to purchase them again every few days.
Perhaps Rufeng Ruxue thought driving a tractor was new and fun, so they sowed corn seeds that day.
While they were planting, I looked at the pile of corn in the warehouse and wondered what to do with it.
Thinking that a large amount of corn will be harvested in the future, we must find a suitable purchasing unit. The closer to Huangtu County, the better. At least it can save transportation costs.
So, I drove back to Huangtu County. There is a feed factory in the county, and it buys corn at an open price on weekdays. This provides me with convenience.
Talking about it in detail, the price is okay, higher than I expected.
I'm a little confused about how to transport the corn.
The corn in the warehouse has not been threshed yet, so it is impossible to transport it out one by one, which would tire me out. Even if it is put into a woven bag, it will be a joke when it is taken to the feed factory. People will ask for the woven bag to be untied.
Open it and pour it out to facilitate threshing. I can't do that either.
To transport the corn from space, it is best to load the corn directly into the truck. After thinking about it, I finally came up with a more appropriate plan.
Back at the cannery, I called the manager of the fleet that had delivered construction materials to me a few days ago. I wanted to hire a truck.
This guy was really happy, and a dump truck came over 10 minutes later.
I personally guided the car at the entrance of Warehouse No. 1 and asked the driver to drive in and park the car. The driver came down and asked me what goods I was hauling.
"corn."
"Where is the goods?"
How could I possibly tell him that the corn was in space?
"You don't need to worry about the goods. They will be loaded on the car in a moment. You can pay the freight first when you go to the finance department."
Before the driver arrived, I asked him to open the bill. I signed it on the spot, and the driver went to the accounting department. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I brought the dump truck into the space.
Without the proper tools, Rufeng Ruxue loaded the truck with just his hands, and the speed was amazing. I heard a continuous crackling sound, and the corn fell into the truck bed one by one. I stood beside it and was dazzled.
I think it only took about ten minutes to fill the car.
I moved the truck out of the space again and returned to warehouse 1.
The driver came back. When he heard that the corn had been loaded, he didn't believe it. He climbed up on the roof of the car and saw a cart full of corn. He was puzzled. The car was loaded in just a few minutes? He was most puzzled.
What's strange is that I didn't see a single corn cob in the warehouse, not even a single kernel of corn. And you asked me where this corn came from?
My expression is serious.
"Conjured by magic."
Of course the driver didn't believe it.
“The boss is really good at joking!”
"It doesn't matter whether you're joking or not. What's important is that you have to take the goods to the feed factory. Only then will your mission be completed."
The driver drove away. He still didn't know where the corn came from or who loaded it into the car, but he still delivered it to the destination according to my request.
And I drove behind. After unloading the truck, I paid the bill at the feed factory, and the truck driver drove away.
Looking at the truck going away, I felt somewhat helpless. This truck hauled 15 tons of corn, and there was almost enough room for that. I couldn't use the same truck for a second trip on the same day, and I had no reason to send it to the finance department again.
, use this gap to load the vehicle into the space.
We can only talk about the second car tomorrow.
At the same time, I thought of another important thing. Every time I transport grain, I have to look after these drivers. Every driver will have questions: Where does the corn come from? How is it loaded into the truck? There are many people talking, and these secrets of mine will definitely be spread to
society.
Concerned, I drove to the Huangtu County Agricultural Machinery Company. When asked, there were still electric-driven dump trucks, but the tonnage was smaller and could only pull 8 tons. No matter what, I immediately bought one and sent it to the space.
.
Rufeng Ruxue loaded the car, and I let Rufeng follow the car out of the space. I took the car into the space on a remote street near the agricultural machinery company, but it still ended up here when I came out. There was no need to use No. 1 at the cannery.
The warehouse, on the contrary, avoided many eyes and ears.
After that, I led the way, Rufeng drove behind, and handed over the second car of corn to the feed factory.
I followed the same pattern and pulled the third car.
The three trucks of corn totaled 31 tons. I was shocked when I calculated the calculation. The average real estate yield was more than 2,000 kilograms of corn per mu, which was nearly double the actual yield per mu.
What makes me even more gratified is that when I delivered the corn, my corn was in the best quality. The corn cobs were not only thick, but also long. The kernels were round and plump. No pests were found from beginning to end, and the moisture content was within the standard.
, sold for the highest price. Excluding the cost of hiring a car and seed money, I made a net profit of 70,000.
The accounts were unclear, but the calculations were shocking. Although the money earned from these three carts of corn was less than a fraction of what I earned from wholesale vegetables and fresh fish in the morning, the workload was different.
What I mean is that my workload is different. Wholesale vegetables, I have to get up early every day and work nervously all morning. This happens every day, no matter how much money I earn, I am a little tired now.
Planting corn is different. Within 10 days, I only need half a day. The key is that I can save a lot of time to do other things.
