Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

"The rice is preliminarily determined to have rice blast. As for the fungicides not being effective, it may be that the previous fungicides have developed resistance. You can try other fungicides."

"Kun Nai, can you introduce some suitable fungicides?" Huck asked quickly.

"No problem." Baduoqi quickly said some new fungicides, and after collecting the travel expenses, Baduoqi left with people and samples.

The local farmers can only use dead horses as living horse doctors to buy new fungicides.

Huck’s farm employs many farmers. These farmers wear simple masks and carry a bucket of fungicide on their backs. While cranking the pressure by hand, they lift up the spraying pole and spray the fungicide evenly on the rice fields.

Other farmers do the same.

Looking at the sick rice, Huck clasped his hands together and prayed, while chanting: "Buddha bless! Bodhisattva bless!"

……

The agricultural expert Ba Duoqi, who brought the samples back, immediately arranged for staff to test these samples as soon as he returned to the research institute.

As a traditional rice-growing country, and Siam is one of the four Asian tigers, the research on rice is not bad, and it is not far behind China.

After some laboratory tests, Ba Duoqi looked at the report in his hand and felt bad, and immediately arranged for a genetic test.

Sure enough, after a test, it was found that the fungus had mutated, and the mutation was terrible. It has very strong resistance to most of the fungicides currently on the market.

Bardoqi immediately wrote a paper eloquently to announce this discovery.

Immediately, other countries suffering from rice blast also started testing, and immediately found that the rice in their own country was also a mutated fungus.

At this time, the Southeast Asian region and the Tianzhu region reacted.

Faced with this indestructible fungus, many farmers, especially those who depend on farming for a living, are desperate.

Tianzhu is also a tropical country. The terrible rice blast has spread through the air and spread to various rice-growing areas in Tianzhu in less than a month.

As the most populous country, the total grain output of Tianzhu is only about 3.1 million tons, which is equivalent to about 50.00% of that of Huaguo.

Their domestic rice also accounts for one-third of the total, with an annual output of 1.1 million tons, making them the world's second largest rice producer after China.

Once rice production is completely extinct, it is terrible to think about it.

This means that there will be about 30.00% of the population in their country, and there will be a lack of food supply. In addition, Tianzhu itself does not have much food reserves, and the people do not have the habit of accumulating food.

If there is no early rice harvest this year, the consequence will be that famine is imminent. Reminiscent of the frantic purchase of grain in the West before, it echoes the current rice blast from beginning to end, and suddenly magnifies the terrible impact of rice blast.

Especially in a populous country like Tianzhu, with a total population of more than one billion, there is a 30% food shortage, which means that [-] million people have no food.

This is not 500 million people, nor 5000 million people, but 1 million people. Faced with this terrible gap, no country in the world can provide [-] million tons of grain to Tianzhu.

Similarly, the Southeast Asian region is not optimistic at this time. Considering the soaring international food prices this year, they all increased the area of ​​rice planting, but now they are encountering rice blast.

……

Look back to the country.

Netherworld has held emergency meetings for three consecutive days to discuss how to deal with the rice plague this time.

Quickly took a series of measures to suppress the damage of the rice plague to a minimum.

Gui Province, Nanning.

The rice that has just been planted outside the suburbs has obvious brown spots. Zhang Suqing, the director of the Baishicai Rural Cooperative, looked at the report in his hand.

He immediately called a dozen clever young people into the agricultural technology hall.

"Brother Zhang, why did you suddenly call everyone over?" Tan Xiaoqiang leaned over and asked.

Others also chattered in disorder, Zhang Suqing knocked on the table: "Sit down, I have something important to do."

Seeing Zhang Suqing's serious expression, Tan Xiaoqiang and others didn't dare to make a fuss, and quickly found a chair to sit down.

"You are all young people, let me give you an overview of the situation first..." Zhang Suqing explained the rice blast in Southeast Asia and Qiongzhou in detail, and turned on the projector on the side to play some news and videos.

grunt!Tan Xiaoqiang was frightened, and asked nervously: "Brother Zhang, what should we do now? The land has already been planted."

"Yes!"

"Is there any cure"

"..."

Everyone became anxious.

"Quiet, listen to me." Zhang Suqing squeezed his hand, and then continued: "The higher-ups already know about everyone's difficulties, and now the land that has been planted with rice is subsidized 500 yuan per mu. Everyone shoveled the rice seedlings and planted corn, Potatoes, sweet potatoes."

"...Will this be too little?" Tan Xiaoqiang asked hesitantly.

For this kind of bastard who beat snakes and sticks, Zhang Suqing directly hit him on the head, and said angrily: "To tell you the truth, this is the treatment only for members of the cooperative, and the rest can only be replanted by yourself."

Although the rural cooperatives paid a price this time, they also successfully used this rice blast event to expand the influence of rural cooperatives.

Especially those farmers in Qiongzhou who had seen the rice fields turn yellow and saw that some of the farmers who joined the rural cooperatives received subsidies, quickly asked to join the rural cooperatives.

Rural cooperatives expanded rapidly in Qiongzhou, Guangxi, and Lingnan.

In particular, the rural cooperatives in Lingnan benefit from the huge power provided by Jinwu No. 0.2. The internal electricity price for rural cooperatives from the State Grid is [-] cents per kilowatt-hour.

This electricity price is about 15 to 18 times lower than the previous agricultural electricity price, and even the agricultural subsidy electricity price in poor areas is about 8 to 9 times this electricity price.

This ultra-low electricity price is conducive to the development of rural cooperatives and the recruitment of members. However, the management of rural cooperatives and Huanong Group is also very strict in this regard.

Because this electricity price definitely looks like someone is taking advantage of loopholes, such as using this electricity for commercial and industrial production, this aspect must definitely be cracked down on, and people cannot take advantage of loopholes. At this time, artificial intelligence monitoring will work.

Chapter 136 Cooperative Development

Lingnan Shanmei.

At this time, many rural areas have begun to replant. Since most of the paddy fields are planted with rice, in order to avoid being submerged in the next rainy season, various rural cooperatives have begun to repair drainage ditches.

In fact, the rural cooperatives in Shanmei have developed relatively fast, which is actually related to the social environment of Shanmei.

One is that young people are all working in the Pearl River Delta region, and the rest of the elderly are farming. Second, many wealthy families feel that farming is too tiring and not worthwhile. Many farmers are actually urban residents.

They all aim to join farmland and orchards into rural cooperatives and get some income every year.

And those young people have no opinion, they are working outside, and the farmland is wasted if it is deserted, why not use it.

As for those farmers who were originally farming, they couldn't stand the temptation of wages and five social insurances and one housing fund. They brought their fields to join the cooperatives and successfully transferred to agricultural workers.

In Qinglongtou Village near Shanmei City, more than a dozen farmers are working in full swing.
