Chapter 1038: Food Security

"Why must we come to the desert to build a three-dimensional farm?"

"Catherine's question is sharp, right, this is obviously thankless work."

"Why do it this way?"

"Huanghai doesn't understand."

"So he's a bit at a loss for words, as if rendered speechless by Catherine's question."

"The people in the live broadcast room, seeing this, also thought that the Yang family might just be putting on a show this time."

"\"Right, a three-dimensional farm—going to such a remote, harsh place, isn't that stupid? \""

"\"What someone just said is very right; a three-dimensional farm should be built on the outskirts of big cities. \""

"\"It feels like the Yang family made a bad move this time. \""

"\"If you can think of it, can't the Yang family think of it? \""

"\"First, let's talk about whether we can make money; if we can make money, we'll go, and then use the money we earn to build greenhouses. \""

"\"I'm a farmer from Wan Shi; I'll tell you, you can make money, but you need to be very down-to-earth—lacking even a little patience won't do; farming here requires extra care, because they're very fragile. \""

"\"You need to work here for a few years before you can fully understand these plants' habits. \""

"\"Then you can make them bear more fruit. \""

"\"Our lighting conditions here are excellent, so the fruit set rate is high and the quality is also good. \""

"\"After bearing fruit a few times, the land and trees need to rest for one to two years. \""

"\"These newcomers don't know that they just want to bear fruit every year, but that's impossible—people need rest, let alone the land and trees. \""

"After this person's explanation, everyone hesitated again."

"Someone who typed this much must be reliable."

"The danmaku continues."

"\"I'm also a desert farmer. \""

"\"Actually, we didn't really welcome you before, because you'd compete with us for business, and many people came over, not being down-to-earth, practicing all sorts of heretical ways. \""

"\"They've ruined our atmosphere. \""

"\"But with the new business model out, we no longer have this worry; instead, as scale expands, our competitiveness will also expand. \""

"\"And as scale expands, related industries will also take root. \""

"He's talking about traceability issues, and also raw material quality grading issues."

"\"Sigh, aren't we talking about three-dimensional farms? \""

"\"Right, right, let's see how he answers. \""

"Jinweixin, having just heard Catherine's words, felt this woman was here to make things difficult for them, and even had a provocative attitude."

"Seeing Huanghai delay in answering, he couldn't help but say."

"\"Some things aren't just about considering profit. \""

"\"You Yingjiang seem to have withdrawn from the climate agreement, right? \""

"\"As a major power, being so irresponsible dooms tens of billions of Lanxing people to neglect. \""

"\"Shouldn't we make some preparations? \""

"\"If the temperature rises to just 0°C, ice can melt into water. \""

"\"At the North and South Poles, at their warmest, the core regions' temperature approaches this value infinitely closely. \""

"\"If the current global warming trend continues, the Arctic will disappear in summer within a few decades, and within a century the Antarctic will also melt rapidly. \""

"\"The trend of rising sea levels cannot be changed. \""

"\"Most of our arable land will in the future be threatened by rising sea levels. \""

"\"We Daxia basically have no choice. \""

"\"For our future and descendants, this place is our land of hope. \""

"\"As long as we successfully establish ourselves on this desert, we can resolve our century-long worries. \""

"\"As for a hundred years from now, we will most likely have already solved the survival problem. \""

"\"We've even spread throughout the solar system. \""

"\"Today, all our efforts will in the future give us rich returns. \""

"\"Therefore, for us, establishing a desert farm is imperative. \""

"\"This is our main goal for the future. \""

"Catherine didn't expect to get this answer."

"Huanghai, upon hearing, also felt his blood boil."

"\"Right, our costs are a bit high, but our food selling price is also high. \""

"\"The government's grain purchase price for us is two to three times the normal rate. \""

"\"There are also subsidies in many places. \""

"\"As for the water issue, the three-dimensional farm's water recycling technology can save a lot of water. \""

"\"Moreover, the Yang family's funnel farm maximizes the use of rainwater. \""

"\"And in the future, the government will also help us increase water resources. \""

"\"If the three-dimensional farm can't make money, we'll simply not do three-dimensional farming and just grow desert crops. \""

"\"If the Yang family makes money, we'll follow suit. \""

"\"Right now, the most important thing is to quickly secure good land; otherwise we'll really only be able to go to the desert. \""

"He stirred up another wave."

"At this point, no one paid much attention to what he said, because the conclusion about rising sea levels truly shocked them."

They originally thought this was far away from them, but they never imagined it would be right before their eyes.

Someone also pointed out the seawater backflow.

"We here have been flooded by seawater backflow; many places are submerged."

"Here, in recent years, we have clearly felt that the sea level is a bit higher than before."

"If it's true, many cities could be flooded."

"Regardless, developing the desert is necessary."

"Yeah, we fear not the ten thousand but the one chance."

"No matter what, having more food is never wrong; now we need to import large amounts of food each year, and our food security is a major issue."

"Yes, support the desert farm plan; the food we produce ourselves is nowhere near enough, and if anything happens we will be in dire straits."

"Whether or not it rises, we need to expand our food production; we don't want to experience a great famine—I heard my grandmother say famine is terrible."

"Yeah, our food pressure is huge; relying only on imports is very unsafe, and it also makes us easy targets for exploitation."

"Supporters of the desert farm instantly became the majority."

Catherine also got her answer.

"Mr. Huang, you are responsible."

"Hearing your words, I am moved."

"Such a Daxia is admirable."

Huanghai.

"Please, please, this is what we should do, Miss Catherine—do you have any other questions? Otherwise we'll get busy."

Catherine hurriedly said.

"Thank you for accepting our interview; sorry for the disturbance."

After parting with Huanghai, Catherine decided to go to Border Lock to have a look.

"Family, I heard that in Daxia's desert there is a great feat: they locked the desert."

"Now let's go see Daxia's Green Great Wall."

"Perhaps only after seeing this Green Great Wall can we truly appreciate the wisdom of the Daxia people."

"Only then can we see clearly why they can repeatedly create miracles."

"Only then can we understand why they alone can sustain civilization for thousands of years."

"They have always believed that man can conquer heaven; they have always believed that happiness must be created by one's own hands, not by plunder."
