Chapter 264: 0 to 2 degrees Celsius, you grow vegetables? Plastic greenhouse!
"What? You have this skill? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Hearing this, General Chen said with a joking smile.
"Xiao Fang, you really are a person who doesn't show your true colors."
"Mr. Chen, you're joking. I don't dare to call myself a real person."
"I'm just a hobbyist, Dean Yang is the real master!"
Hearing General Chen's words, Fang Yu quickly spoke humbly.
"Master? If I were truly a master, I would have solved Dragon Country's fertilizer problem long ago. How could I be so helpless like before?"
"I'm really old. This so-called position of president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is no longer worthy of my position."
After Yang Lin, who was standing by, heard Fang Yu's words.
Said with great emotion.
"If I had a successor as outstanding as Director Fang, I would be happy to retire and go home to enjoy my retirement."
"By the way, since Director Fang is so familiar with agricultural science, would you like to come work at our Agricultural Science Academy?"
"If you're willing, I can resign immediately and give you the position!"
"After all, the war will eventually end. If you achieve success in this position, that will truly benefit the people..."
"Go away! You old Yang! I brought you here with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to poach people right in front of me!"
After hearing what Yang Lin said.
General Chen laughed and scolded.
"If Fang Yu leaves the Great Wall Military Factory, will you build the future military equipment for our Dragon Country?"
"While food is important, national defense is not important?"
"Besides, even if Fang Yu really doesn't want to work in the military industry anymore, several government departments are vying to hire him."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just Mr. Huang from the Ministry of Industry has mentioned this to me no less than ten times. You can just wait in line..."
"..."
Led by Fang Yu, the group chatted and laughed, and soon arrived outside the fertilizer factory.
And just walked out of the fertilizer factory gate.
The crowd who were originally talking and laughing were shocked by the scene before them.
Outside the fertilizer plant, everything is covered by white greenhouses, stretching as far as the eye can see.
A rough estimate shows that the area is about 20 to 30 acres.
Through the translucent tarpaulins, Yang Lin vaguely saw countless green plants growing luxuriantly...
See this scene.
Yang Lin was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
He originally thought that the improved crops that Fang Yu mentioned should be kept in his office like his own, and carefully cared for at a constant temperature and humidity.
At most, there are only one or two plants.
But unexpectedly, he actually planted twenty to thirty acres of this kind!
How exactly did he do it?
You know, the address of the Great Wall Military Factory is in the northeast of Longguo.
At this time, the Chinese New Year had just passed and it was still at the end of midwinter.
No plant can survive at this temperature.
So, how did Fang Yu grow so many plants in temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero?
Could it be because of this thin translucent film?
If this is true, then doesn't it mean.
Will farmers no longer have to worry about the weather when planting crops? Will they be able to grow crops even in the dead of winter?
In an instant, countless random thoughts flooded into Yang Lin's mind.
But then, Yang Lin shook his head vigorously and put these thoughts behind him.
Then, he turned to look at Fang Yu who was smiling beside him and asked stutteringly.
"Director Fang, is this what you call...a 'small' experimental plot?"
"Let's not talk about the area for now. Can you tell me how you actually do the insulation?"
"It's over 20 degrees below zero, and these plants can still continue to grow... It's simply a miracle!"
"If we can promote this technology, wouldn't the grain production of our Dragon Country be doubled..."
Seeing Yang Lin so excited that he almost stuck to his face.
Fang Yu smiled bitterly, took two steps back and said.
"Dean Yang, please don't get excited."
"It's hard to explain it simply. Let's go in first and I'll explain it to you slowly..."
"Okay! Okay! It's me, the old man, who's getting impatient!"
"Let's go now!"
Hearing Fang Yu's words, Yang Lin nodded heavily.
After saying that, he walked quickly with vigorous steps towards the greenhouse closest to his group.
The moment he pushed open the door of the greenhouse and walked inside, he felt as if he had frozen and was stunned.
Without him.
Although there is only a thin door separating them, the temperature inside the greenhouse is very different from that outside.
It was clearly outside the greenhouse, still around minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, a temperature that could almost freeze a person's ears off.
But inside the greenhouse, it was as warm as spring.
According to Yang Lin's own body temperature, it was not 20 degrees, but at least 17 or 18 degrees.
At this moment, Yang Lin glanced towards the gate.
Sure enough, I saw that the pointer on the thermometer hanging at the door was pointing to 21.
Suddenly, Yang Lin's pupils shook violently.
21 degrees!
Even my office in the capital, which has 24-hour heating, sometimes cannot reach this temperature.
How did Fang Yu do all this in this field?
"Fang Yu, now that we're here, can you explain it to me?"
At this time, seeing Fang Yu walk in.
Yang Lin couldn't suppress his curiosity and stepped forward to ask.
"Haha, actually, this matter is both simple and difficult."
"Director Yang, the reason I can maintain such a high temperature in here is all thanks to this thin membrane."
As Fang Yu spoke, he strolled to the side of the greenhouse and touched the white translucent material.
"These translucent films are called polyethylene, also known as plastic."
“Its characteristics are good thermal insulation, light transmittance, weather resistance, softness, and easy shaping.”
"Although it's only a thin layer, its molecular density is so high that neither water nor air can pass through it."
"However, the light and heat from the sun can pass through this layer of polyethylene and be transported into the greenhouse."
"In this enclosed, insulated space, heat can only flow in but not out, so the temperature naturally rises."
"At the same time, because it can block gases, the carbon dioxide exhaled by plants cannot escape from the greenhouse."
"Combining the two, the temperature in this greenhouse will naturally increase."
"And it's very simple to build such a greenhouse. All you need to do is build a frame with steel or bamboo and then attach a few layers of polyethylene film."
"That's why I said this is a simple matter."
