    The ecological greenhouse is a research project established when the scientific research center was established.

    Although the term ecological greenhouse has been around for a long time, and some people have been studying ecological agriculture and greenhouse planting before the meteorite fell. There is also research on combining the two, but these ecological greenhouses are not the same as the ecological greenhouses here at the research center.  Than, it's completely two different things.

    Before the disaster, the so-called ecological greenhouse was a system composed of the interests and interdependencies between various plants grown in the greenhouse, various animals, microorganisms, and various natural factors in the greenhouse.

    Although it is said that a relatively stable ecological cycle can be formed, most of the sunlight, air and water need to be imported from the outside world.

    Especially the most important sunlight, which can be said to be an indispensable resource for all agricultural production before the disaster.

    But with the series of disasters caused by meteorite impacts and the impact of recent volcanic eruptions, sunlight has long disappeared, and even in the next ten years or so, it will only be able to return to a low-light environment at best.

    Without sunlight, it would be a huge blow to the entire agriculture, and people would have to use artificial light to provide light for crops in a way that consumes a lot of energy.

    For the ecological greenhouses in the past, such impact and blow were fatal.

    That¡¯s why Chen Xin wanted to conduct research on ecological agriculture and build an ecological greenhouse that can adapt to the current environment.

    Fortunately, this research is going very smoothly. After all, there is the research foundation of the original ecological greenhouse, and now there is a geothermal power station to ensure the energy supply and warmth of the greenhouse. When all conditions are complete, the original ecological greenhouse model can be adjusted.  , it is not difficult to adapt it to the current environment.

    In fact, after the scientific research center was built, the research on ecological greenhouses made good breakthroughs and progress under the leadership of Professor Li sent by the state, and based on this, the second phase of the greenhouse expansion was carried out.

    And according to the greenhouse model, a new greenhouse was built on an original labor camp in the urban area, allowing the original farm to play a role again.

    After being built, these greenhouses quickly played their role and began to steadily produce a variety of agricultural products.

    ??????????????????? However, the main ones are all kinds of vegetables and fruits. The poultry and fish raised in greenhouses are not produced immediately due to time constraints, and they need to be raised for a while before they can stably provide meat.

    As for the most important food crop, rice was chosen at the beginning.

    On the one hand, rice is the staple food in the south, and everyone is accustomed to eating rice instead of noodles. On the other hand, the entire greenhouse is built with the purpose of forming a stable ecological cycle and realizing permanent farming.

    Growing two or more major food crops hastily will occupy a large amount of limited resources in the greenhouse.

    Now is no different than in the past. After the loss of sunshine and major precipitation, especially the destruction of surface vegetation, the nutrients that the soil can provide have also become limited. Greenhouse planting must consider the overall ecological cycle.

    Although it is not impossible to forcefully plant a variety of major food crops through artificial supplementation to produce large amounts of food, and the country does do this in some places to obtain large amounts of food, this method is still inconsistent with the purpose of ecological agriculture.  Going in the opposite direction.

    After all, the purpose of studying ecological agriculture is to restore the destroyed environment of Blue Star and rebuild Blue Star's ecology in the future. If we use the method of fishing from the lake, although it can indeed solve the immediate urgent needs, it is not a long-term plan and plan.

    Therefore, even though the country needs a lot of food now, it still supports the ecological greenhouses built by Chen Xin and others, rather than adopting a large-scale approach more similar to traditional agriculture, relying on artificial input of chemical fertilizers, light, moisture and other conditions to produce large-scale crops.  Produce food.

    However, after realizing an ecological planting system based on rice, the team led by Professor Li also began research on another planting system based on wheat.

    This is mainly to enrich the variety of food, and also to meet the differences in dietary structure between the north and the south of Yan State.

    Although looking at it now, this difference is basically not that big, the people of Yan country are obsessed with eating. Since rice can be cultivated very well, it is impossible to give up wheat.

    Chen Xin knew that Professor Li and the others had been studying the wheat planting system recently, but he originally thought that it would take some time, but he did not expect that they really gave him a huge surprise.

      When Chen Xin came to the ecological greenhouse, Professor Li and his research team were watching the mechanical harvest of wheat.

    "Professor Li!" Chen Xin came to Professor Li, said hello to the old professor, then looked at the wheat being harvested in front of him, and asked in surprise: "Is this batch of wheat ready to be harvested?"

    "Yes, the growth is very good. The yield per mu is expected to be one thousand kilograms!" Professor Li was very happy about the bumper wheat harvest in front of him. When Chen Xin asked about it, he happily replied: "We did not interplant this batch of wheat for the sake of safety.  Now that the yield can be guaranteed, we can start intercropping experiments with wheat and other crops in the next step!"

    Wheat interplanting was a very common way of growing wheat before the disaster. Chen Xin had also learned about related technologies for the ecological greenhouse, but he felt a little strange when he heard Professor Li say this.

    So he asked Professor Li: "Professor, wheat interplanting is a planting technology to make up for the lack of light and temperature for two crops a year in some areas, right? Ecological greenhouses provide artificial light and temperature, so there should be no need for interplanting, right?"

    "No, this is different. Traditional intercropping is indeed to solve the problem of insufficient light and temperature in some areas of our country, which causes wheat to only be able to meet one crop a year. Interplanting other crops can reduce the competition for light and temperature in the case of two crops a year.  Question." Chen Xin's question happened to be within Professor Li's professional scope, which naturally made the old professor want to explain it to Chen Xin.

    He pulled Chen Xin to a field of unharvested wheat, pointed to the space where the rhizomes of the wheat plants existed and said to him: "The ecological greenhouse cultivation we use now can provide sufficient light and temperature, so the purpose of interplanting is  It is not to reduce the competition for light and temperature, but to make fuller use of the planting space and increase the grain yield per unit area.

    Now these wheats use traditional planting spacing. We will adjust the spacing to be wider in the future. Although the wheat planted will be reduced, when other crops are interplanted, the total grain output per unit area can be increased.  So interplanting still makes sense!  "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
