After resting in Re Town for a night, Li Bin and his party set off again, heading to another small town about 37 kilometers south.

Leave the industrial punk town, full of industrial punk style, and after passing through a coal mine, the scenery that comes into view is a lot of soybeans. The emerald green is in the sun, making people feel like they are in the fields of the Great Northern Wilderness.

A sprinkler truck has long spray poles protruding from both sides, spraying water mist on the soybean seedlings.

Li Bin couldn't help but sigh that to a certain extent, the great power of human science and technology can indeed change the world.

After soil transformation, the sand in the northern desert can also be transformed into fertile fields with continuous fresh water.

From a latitude, the southern part of the northern desert region is actually at the same latitude as the Songnen Plain in China, and the light and thermal conditions are even better. The only shortcoming is water.

When the water supply pipeline continuously inputs fresh water into Mobei, it also means that the last shortcoming of the agricultural planting conditions in Mobei will be filled.

According to the land resources of the Food Alliance in 2010, the scale of the desert Gobi Desert in northern desert was about 513,000 square kilometers, and the semi-desert grassland was 346,000 square kilometers, totaling 860,000 square kilometers.

Without freshwater support from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, it is expected that the area of ​​the desert Gobi and semi-desert will exceed 950,000 square kilometers around 2020.

With such a huge area, after being renovated and utilized, in the strategic planning of the Food Alliance, the 860,000 square kilometers of land, except for the 240,000 square kilometers of nature reserve, the remaining 620,000 square kilometers will be fully renovated and utilized.

Among them, 300,000 square kilometers are used as farmland, 300,000 square kilometers are used as pasture or grass planting areas, and 20,000 square kilometers are used as forest areas.

What is the concept of 300,000 square kilometers?

Converting to the common mu, it is 450 million mu, equivalent to one-quarter of the bottom line of the 1.8 billion mu of arable land in the country. If all wheat is planted, 200 million to 220 million tons of wheat can be produced; if all soybeans are planted, 56 million to 65 million tons of soybeans can be produced.

However, considering the domestic situation, the farmland in northern Mobei basically planted cotton, soybeans, peanuts, flax, sunflowers and beets, basically textiles, oils, sugar and feed crops.

The soybean cultivation area that Li Bin saw was a joint venture agricultural company under Fengmin Agriculture, which is in the soybean cultivation area of ​​Oriental Province.

At present, the area of ​​soybean planting in northern desert is about 20 million mu, with an annual output of about 3 million tons of soybeans. With the advancement of the desert transformation movement, this planting area will increase year by year.

In fact, the domestic soybean planting area has increased a lot in the past two years, and the average yield per mu has increased from 125 kilograms to 164 kilograms. Although it is not as good as the genetically modified soybean yield per mu, it is at least independent and controllable.

The total soybean production of the Food Alliance this year will reach about 24 million tons.

In addition, the native soybeans imported from Lucia are expected to reach 4.7 million tons.

At the same time, the Food Alliance has invested in the Caspian sea desalination factory in Kazakhstan and plans to build a Caspian agricultural area, which is also an important agricultural investment direction for the Food Alliance in the future.

The sight returned to the Li Bin convoy. After passing by the endless soybean planting area, they came to a salt swamp and a semi-desert grassland.

Li Bin took a look at the nearby terrain and knew why their company had not encircled it. The desert Gobi Desert, there was also a undulating mountainous land, and the salt marsh land of the degraded salt lake, which was obviously not suitable for large-scale mechanized production.

Udon called to notify the local herders' customers, and soon they arrived at a small town.

In the small town between the two hillsides, it is also an emerging town. Because the two hillsides look like camels, it is called Camel Town.

Although it is quite far from Hulunbuir, it is not far from the border, and continues to the south about 74 kilometers, which is Erlianhot.

The reason for the development of Luotuo Town is the rise of breeding farms. Since 2010, the Food Alliance and the local area have jointly invested in many companies, taking advantage of the vast land of northern desert to breed pigs on a large scale.

The reason for establishing pig farms in the northern Mo area is that, on the one hand, the North Mo area is a feed production area, which is convenient for supply nearby; on the other hand, it is easy to manage, and the desert Gobi Desert can be used to form a natural isolation belt to fight the outbreak of foreign livestock epidemics.

The Luotuo Town Breeding Base implements very strict biological prevention and control management, and with the cooperation of terrain, it is conducive to isolating the spread of foreign pathogens.

There are currently 47 pig farms here, with a pig inventory of about 840,000, and 7 meat products processing companies.

The scale of cattle and sheep breeding here is average. There are only a dozen cattle households, and there are relatively more sheep, with about thirty households.

The main reason is that the comprehensive income of cattle is not high. After all, cattle feed conversion efficiency is the lowest and the breeding cycle is too long. However, pig feed conversion efficiency is relatively high. The breeding cycle is about half a year, so you can give birth to a lot of children in one child.

Many herders switch to raising pigs or sheep, which has relatively high economic benefits.

Li Bin came to a circled artificial pasture, and he saw obvious traces of transformation. The owner of the pasture was an old herder in his fifties.

"Brother, this ranch is very professionally built!"

Hearing Li Bin's words, the old herder laughed: "This is my son who came back to do something after seeing the big ranch in Monan."

"This is not a fool." Li Bin saw that the improvement technology of this ranch was quite professional and basically reached the first-class level of the artificial ranch.

When he entered the breeding farm, Li Bin became more convinced that the other party was professional. Perhaps the equipment was relatively simple, but he had basically achieved modern breeding.

A young man in a denim shirt walked out of the cow delivery room. After seeing Li Bin, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Team Leader Li, I'm very happy for a long time no see."

"So it's you!" Li Bin suddenly realized that when he first joined the company last year, he worked in the Korqin Pastoral Area of ​​Mongolia. This young man was also one of the interns. Later, after working for more than four months, he quit and returned to his hometown.

The two talked about the latest situation for a while. The young man was named Temuhule, who was a student in China before.

"Team Leader Li, show you a good thing."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Come with me." Temuhule did not explain, but took Li Bin and others to a breeding farm.

As soon as he came in, Li Bin saw more than a dozen unique cows. He compared the cow breeds in his memory, but none of them were completely in line with them.

"Is it a new variety?"

Temuhule nodded: "When I was studying abroad, I studied breeding engineering. In recent years, I have experimented with several batches. This is the most successful variety."

After saying that, Temuhule handed a dissection report to Li Bin.

Li Bin, who looked through the anatomy report, quickly learned the characteristics of this breed, that is, the slaughtered meat rate is high and the snowflake texture is prone to. Under the conditions of grain feeding, the muscle fibers are close to the pine plate and cow.

"Do you register a variety or brand?"

Temuhule nodded: "I just registered last month and my name is Gobi Huangniu."

"It seems that high-end beef brands will soon have your place." Li Bin congratulated.

"Just make a living." Temuhule smiled and shook his head.
Chapter completed!
