Indoor agriculture has great advantages and great disadvantages.

The main disadvantages can be divided into two aspects: one is technical issues; the other is cost issues.

Technical issues can be summarized in detail as: fluorescent light sources, spraying of medicinal fertilizers, reproduction of fungi, and slabs of artificial soil.

The cost issue is that the construction and maintenance cost of indoor agriculture will be quite high. As an agricultural building, ordinary reinforced concrete buildings can only be tested for about 40 to 50 years at most.

At present, technical problems have been overcome, and only cost issues remain. The cost issues ultimately depend on energy costs.

In addition, the life of reinforced concrete buildings can also be used, new materials such as silicon oxide-sodium chloride, which are not only cheaper, but also have very high strength and service life.

Under normal circumstances, new buildings with silicon oxide-sodium chloride as the main material usually have a service life of about 120 years.

And it can regain the youth of buildings through recoating and hot melting.

Agricultural buildings will become increasingly profitable and can gradually replace natural farmland.

At present, Fengmin Agriculture and Beidahuang Group have established 57 agricultural buildings of all sizes in the northern region, covering an area of ​​34,000 mu and an internal plantable area of ​​1.7 million mu.

Although it is an experimental project, the annual yield of the 1.7 million mu of indoor planting area and related crops are higher than that of the northern natural farmland, and the average production efficiency per mu is about 2.4 to 2.7 times that of natural farmland.

If the agricultural building-type indoor agriculture is fully promoted, the comprehensive production efficiency of the 1.8 billion mu of arable land in the past will be equivalent to the 24 million mu of agricultural buildings (50 stories high).

Agricultural buildings can also be called agricultural factories.

In Huang Xiuyuan's view, this is the only way forward in the future. Sooner or later, agriculture will break away from the limitations of the natural environment and enter the era of all artificial agriculture.

In fact, this is also the inevitable direction in Greater China. As the older generation of farmers grow older, these old farmers will sooner or later withdraw from the ranks of workers.

The farmland needs a new generation to inherit it, but it is difficult for the new generation to understand the working model of their parents. Letting a college student take a hoe to plow the fields is obviously a struggle and a waste of talents.

At this time, high-tech indoor agriculture and large mechanized agriculture in the northern plains became important development trends for the new generation of farmers.

At the same time, this is also the key to maintaining a wealthy life of 3 billion people. Relying solely on natural farmland, there is obviously a lot of pressure to maintain a wealthy life of 3 billion people.

After all, over the years, changes in the natural environment are sometimes hard to guard against. Natural farmland is largely based on the weather for food. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of anything.

Once there is a food crisis within, Greater China may repeat the mistakes of India, and the social stability of the grain-stressing stone cannot tolerate any sloppyness.

Therefore, after discussing with the Strategic Think Tank, Huang Xiuyuan concluded that the natural factors in agriculture should be weakened as much as possible, the artificial factors in agriculture should be enhanced, and agricultural production should be ensured to be in a controllable state.

Indoor agriculture and agricultural buildings are the core of this strategy.

In fact, this agricultural development strategy is just in case.

If a nuclear war breaks out suddenly, or Noah will intend to die together and detonate the Yellowstone Volcano, the ecological environment of the Blue Star is likely to be devastating.

Moreover, Huang Xiuyuan's memory has been that since 2026, the global climate has become very abnormal. The global warming advocated by Western environmentalists has not only not occurred, but has become colder.

Although global cooling is a slow gradual process, it is difficult to predict whether ultra-low temperature and cold waves occur in specific years during the period.

In Huang Xiuyuan's memory, from the end of 2031 to the beginning of 2032, a large-scale cold wave broke out in the northern hemisphere, and the zero-degree isotherm even arrived at the front line of Wenchang Aerospace City.

Now that Huang Xiuyuan has changed history, he has no accurate foundation for future climate development.

After all, over the years, the domestic energy storage toner refining scale has maintained a very high production frequency. In this case, it is very likely that the Little Ice Age will arrive early.

The small glacier climate similar to the late Ming Dynasty, drought, cold waves, and floods will become extremely dense.

Farmland under the natural environment will definitely experience large-scale production cuts under the influence of this large-scale environmental climate.

Huang Xiuyuan disagrees with the public and supports indoor agriculture, and now it is to avoid the future small glacier climate.

In fact, the emergence of the small glacier climate is also an opportunity for global power to reshuffle. At least East Asia still has the power to fight back under the small glacier.

North America is difficult to resist this small glacier climate because the terrain of central North America is very flat, which makes it easy to drive from the north and go straight to the Gulf of Mexico.

Starting from 2026, the average spring temperature in Texas has shown a downward trend year by year, from -4 to 22 degrees Celsius to -15 to 17 degrees Celsius, and a historical record of the lowest -37 degrees Celsius has occurred during this period.

The Mississippi Plain, which is not blocked by tall mountains, has suffered unprecedented damage under the influence of the Little Ice Age, and there are often large-scale production cuts or even out of production.

Huang Xiuyuan has been paying attention to global climate change in recent years. In a series of data, he found that since 2012, the global average temperature has changed a lot.

The global average temperature in 2012 was 0.13 degrees Celsius lower than the data he remembered; in 2013, it was 0.17 degrees Celsius lower; in 2014, it was 0.22 degrees Celsius lower.

It may continue to decline this year.

The butterfly effect he brought has become increasingly greater, so great that it has begun to affect the global climate.

According to a series of climate simulation calculations, the climate of the Little Glacier may occur 3 to 5 years ahead of schedule, which also made Huang Xiuyuan worried.

In order to ensure food security, indoor agriculture is urgent.

Fengmin Agriculture and Beidahuang Group’s large-scale experimental agricultural building are actually planning to accelerate this project to ensure that the agricultural building covering an area of ​​no less than 5 million mu will be built around 2022, and the goal of indoor agricultural planting area and 250 million mu will be achieved.

At that time, adding a large number of glass greenhouses, mushroom factories, and tropical agricultural areas in Southeast Asia and Oceania can basically ensure the food needs of 3 billion people.

As for the fact that there is no food in other regions, we can adapt to local conditions and completely establish the hegemony of the Greater China Federation.

Everything is developing, and few people see the real purpose of Fengmin Agriculture in building an agricultural building.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology and space cities are rushing forward in a burgeoning manner, either brightly or darkly.

The discovery of wild elephant herds has caused heated discussions in the country, and it also pushed the ecological problems of Hongshawaddy to the forefront.

In particular, some Western environmentalists took the opportunity to find fault and spread rumors. They pointed at the Hongshawadie ecology and even suggested that this was the behemoth behind it, over-exploiting resources in the local area.

Mao An also felt very difficult about this matter, but he was extremely tough. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to clear out some of the pro-Western people who jumped out of the interior.

At the same time, he was not a fool, and hurriedly asked for technical support from the Greater China Joint Conference.
