Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

When the call was connected, an enthusiastic voice came: "Hello, I'm Lin Feng, is this Ms. Mu?"

After a brief greeting, I got straight to the point and introduced our planting base and the current difficulties we were facing. After listening to me, Lin Feng said that their company's latest agricultural intelligent management system might be able to help.

Three days later, Lin Feng and his team came to our base. The system they brought was so powerful that Bai Hanchuan and I were amazed. From soil testing and seed screening to temperature and humidity control, pest and disease warning, and even precise irrigation and fertilization, everything can be done automatically through the system.

"With this system, the production efficiency and product quality of our base will be greatly improved!" I couldn't hide my excitement.

However, Bai Hanchuan raised a sharp question: "This system is expensive, right? I'm afraid our base cannot afford such a high cost."

Lin Feng smiled and said confidently: "Our company is willing to cooperate with your base to jointly develop intelligent solutions suitable for the growth of local crops, and the cost can be controlled within a reasonable range. Of course, in return, we hope to obtain data support from your base to help us improve the system algorithm."

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a cooperation agreement. I know very well that this is not just a simple business cooperation, but also a major opportunity for the development of the base.

In the following days, we and Lin Feng's team started intensive system debugging and optimization work. Seeing the traditional and backward planting base rejuvenated with the empowerment of technology, my heart was filled with pride and joy.

"Jinli, look!" One evening, Bai Hanchuan pointed at the computer screen and said to me excitedly, "The system's data analysis shows that the newly cultivated pepper seedlings are growing well, and the yield is expected to increase by 15%!"

I nodded with relief and was about to speak when suddenly, there was a knock on the office door...

I nodded with relief and was about to speak when suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in!" Bai Hanchuan said loudly.

The door opened and the retired old gardener walked in, followed by a young man wearing glasses and looking gentle.

"Mr. Bai, Ms. Mu, let me introduce you. This is Professor Li, an expert in botany. I specially asked him to help take a look at our intelligent system." The old gardener said with a smile.

After Professor Li shook hands with us cordially, he couldn't wait to get down to work. Together with the old gardener, he put forward many valuable suggestions for improving the intelligent system based on his many years of planting experience.

"Professor Li, your suggestions are great! I'll ask the technical staff to make adjustments right away." Lin Feng said excitedly. He did not expect that he could get guidance from a botanical expert in this cooperation.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the intelligent system has been continuously optimized and upgraded to more accurately meet the growth needs of different crops. The vegetables, fruits and melons in the base are growing better than before, and the yield is rising steadily.

After the news spread, nearby growers came to visit and learn. Seeing the bumper harvest in our base, they were all amazed and began to develop a strong interest in intelligent planting.

The agricultural products from our base are also favored by more and more consumers because of their excellent quality, green and healthy. Not only are they in short supply in the local market, but they have also attracted many foreign merchants to come and discuss cooperation.

"Jinli, did you see it? Our efforts have not been in vain, the base is finally on the right track!" Bai Hanchuan looked at me with excitement in his eyes.

I held his hand, and my heart was filled with happiness and joy. I know that all this is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone, and even more inseparable from the power of science and technology.

However, just as we were immersed in joy, Lin Feng suddenly received a phone call and his face suddenly became solemn.

He put down the phone and said in a heavy tone: "Ms. Mu, Mr. Bai, something happened..."

"What happened?" Bai Hanchuan and I asked in unison, the joy in our hearts replaced by a sudden sense of uneasiness.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The technology company we contacted before, their newly developed smart irrigation system has some problems..."

My heart skipped a beat, and all kinds of bad guesses flashed through my mind. "What's the problem? Is it serious?"

"I don't know the specific situation. The company just said that there were some malfunctions in the system and it needed to be recalled for repair." Lin Feng said with an anxious look on his face, "I have contacted the technicians and they are on their way."

I forced myself to calm down. The most important thing now was to figure out the situation instead of worrying about it unnecessarily. I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, and saw that he was also frowning, obviously worried about this matter.

"Don't worry, let's wait until the technicians arrive." Bai Hanchuan said in a deep voice, trying to calm Lin Feng and me.

However, the development of the matter was far beyond our expectations. After investigation by the technicians, it was found that the problem of the smart irrigation system was more serious than we thought and could not be repaired in a short time.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, catching us off guard. You know, most of the crops in the base rely on this intelligent system for irrigation. If the system is paralyzed for a long time, it will have a huge impact on the growth of crops and may even lead to a reduction in production.

“How could this happen…” I murmured to myself, and the image of the once vibrant vegetables and fruits in the base gradually withering due to lack of water seemed to appear before my eyes.

"Now is not the time to complain. We need to find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible." Bai Hanchuan said calmly, "Lin Feng, contact other suppliers immediately to see if you can find an alternative solution."

"I have already contacted them," Lin Feng said helplessly, "but the smart irrigation systems currently on the market are either expensive or have limited functions and cannot meet our needs at all."

Hearing this, I felt even more depressed. Could it be that all our previous efforts would be wasted?

At this moment, Bai Hanchuan suddenly said, "Jinli, do you remember the agricultural technology exhibition we went to before? It seems that a new type of intelligent irrigation system was displayed there..."

"You mean..." A light flashed through my mind and my eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, we can give it a try!" Bai Hanchuan said firmly, "Although the price of that system is relatively high, its functions are also very powerful and should be able to meet our needs."

I nodded heavily, as if I had grasped the last straw. Without further ado, we immediately contacted the company and drove over to discuss cooperation matters.

However, when we rushed to the company full of hope, we were told...we were told that the system was still in the testing phase and had not been officially launched for sale.

Disappointment, frustration, powerlessness, all kinds of negative emotions surged into my heart, and I was almost in despair. Could it be that we really have to watch the crops in the base wither?

"Don't lose heart, there will always be a way." Bai Hanchuan held my hand and gave me an encouraging look.

At this time, Lin Feng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Perhaps, we can try to contact that old gentleman."

"Old man? You mean..." I instantly understood what he meant.

The old man that Lin Feng mentioned is a retired gardening master and a mysterious ally of our planting base. Although he is old, he is experienced and knows all kinds of plants. He is also proficient in various agricultural technologies and has helped us solve many problems.

"Yes, we can ask the old gentleman and see if he has any solution." Bai Hanchuan also agreed with Lin Feng's proposal.

We immediately contacted the old man and told him the difficulties the base was facing. After listening, the old man pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I do know a botanical expert who is researching a new type of intelligent irrigation technology that may be able to help you."

"Really? That's great!" I said excitedly, "Old man, can you introduce us to someone?"

"No problem." The old man agreed readily.

With the old man's introduction, we quickly contacted the botanical expert and learned about his research results in detail. As expected, the expert's research direction coincided with our needs. The intelligent irrigation system he developed was not only powerful but also lower in cost, which was very suitable for large-scale planting bases like ours.

What surprised us even more was that the expert was very interested in our project and expressed his willingness to work with us to jointly promote the application of smart irrigation technology in agricultural production.

In this way, we reached a cooperation agreement with the expert and established a demonstration project in the base. Under the guidance of the expert, we optimized and improved the intelligent irrigation system to make it more suitable for the actual situation of the base.

After a period of trial operation, the demonstration project has achieved great success. The new system not only effectively solved the irrigation problem, but also improved the utilization rate of water resources and reduced production costs. The crops in the base are growing well and the yield has been greatly increased.

The news quickly spread in the local area, and more and more farmers began to pay attention to our demonstration project and took the initiative to visit and learn. They witnessed the power of technology with their own eyes and saw the future of smart agriculture.

However, just when we were immersed in joy, a piece of news came...
