Chapter 269 Spirulina is a treasure all over!
"Director Fang, although this is your research direction, I shouldn't question it."
"However, based on my years of experience, algae does more harm than good."
"It's easier in the north, but once they reach the paddy fields in the south, they'll compete with the rice for nutrients and air."
"The farmers in the south simply hate this thing and are trying every possible way to get rid of it."
"I advise you not to continue with this..."
"After all, the crop seeds you improved have been able to significantly increase the grain production of our Dragon Country."
“There’s no need to do this anymore…”
After a long while.
Yang Lincai said earnestly.
After all, right now in the south of Dragon Country, the task of cleaning up the vast tracts of algae is enough to cause a headache.
If the algae Fang Yu researched not only grew quickly but also had a yield as high as other crops...
It's okay to raise it in a special pond.
But if it were to leak out, the consequences would be disastrous.
The algae, which were already difficult to deal with, will probably become several times more difficult from now on!
This is simply catastrophic for the damage to the paddy fields in the south!
And, if there really comes such a day.
Fang Yu, the instigator, will definitely become the target of public criticism and be cursed by the farmers whose paddy fields have been destroyed!
Yang Lin just couldn't bear to see Fang Yu go through this, so he kindly reminded him.
after all.
Fang Yu is now not only a leader in Longguo's industrialization.
I'm afraid that for a long time, if Longguo's agriculture wants to develop greatly, it will be inseparable from him.
Whether it is out of his admiration for Fang Yu or Fang Yu's importance to Longguo.
Yang Lin had to say these words.
"Don't worry, Dean Yang, I have considered everything you said."
"I've also considered that if ordinary algae were to leak, it would definitely cause unimaginable damage to the environment."
"So, from the very beginning, I never thought of using ordinary algae for cultivation."
"Those I raise may look like ordinary algae, but they have their own names."
“Spirulina.”
“Spirulina?”
Upon hearing this, everyone from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, including Yang Lin, looked confused.
Even they heard the name Spirulina for the first time.
However, since they are all algae, is there any difference?
"Of course."
"The growth environment of my spirulina is completely different from that of algae."
"Ordinary algae generally prefer to grow in seawater with a suitable temperature or lake water rich in various trace elements."
"But the spirulina I cultivate is different."
"Its favorite growth environment is in saline lakes with a temperature above 25 degrees."
"Even if it were to leak out, its growth rate in ordinary lake water would be very slow, not even one-tenth of that of ordinary algae."
"In this way, the problem of spirulina leakage is fundamentally solved."
"This... I didn't expect there to be such a subspecies among algae. I've never heard of it..."
After hearing Fang Yu's explanation.
Only then did Yang Lin nod with relief.
He believed that Fang Yu would never lie to him.
Since the growth environment of spirulina is so harsh, you really don't have to worry too much about it multiplying wildly once it leaks.
However, this problem is solved.
Immediately afterwards, a question once again arose in Yang Lin's mind.
"Comrade Fang Yu, I have another question."
"As I said before, you have already researched so many high-yield plant seeds. Logically, these should be enough to meet the needs of the people of Dragon Country."
"But why do you still want to cultivate these spirulina?"
"What's the difference between these things?"
"Haha, actually the answer to this question is very simple. There are two points in total."
Hearing this, Fang Yu began to talk.
"First, as I said, the characteristics of spirulina are that it likes high temperatures and is resistant to salt and alkali."
"Dean Yang, why don't you think about it, where are the places that have these two conditions?"
“High temperatures and a saline lake?”
After hearing Fang Yu's question, Yang Lin pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Then I'm afraid this kind of place only exists in the northwest of our Dragon Country."
"Yes, it's the northwest of Dragon Country."
Hearing this, Fang Yu nodded.
"These places are not able to grow common vegetables and grains due to temperature and rainfall problems."
“At the same time, because of its remote location, business is underdeveloped.”
"So, the people living in this area are generally very poor, and even having food to eat is a problem."
"And these spirulina are my gifts to them."
Having said that, Fang Yu paused slightly.
"The spirulina I cultivate has a very fast production cycle, and I can usually produce a batch within seven days."
"The yield reached more than 1100 kilograms."
"Based on the calculation of one kilogram per person, the spirulina produced on this one acre of land can be consumed by more than 300 people every day."
"The annual output is as high as more than 50 tons!"
"With spirulina, farmers in Northwest China will no longer have to go hungry."
"Besides, if you can't eat the leftovers, you can sell them for money."
"It solves both the food problem and the economic problem, killing two birds with one stone!"
Hearing Fang Yu's words, Yang Lin's body trembled violently.
I originally thought Fang Yu was on the first floor, but unexpectedly, Fang Yu was on the fifth floor!
I was still thinking about what the use of cultivating these spirulina was.
Fang Yu had long considered the overall interests of the country and even took into consideration the people far away in the northwest!
This vision and this ability to take action are simply beyond my reach.
For a moment, Yang Lin felt ashamed of his short-sightedness.
"So, what about the second point?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd couldn't wait to ask a question.
“This second point is actually very simple.”
“Although both spirulina and seaweed are algae, their ingredients are very different.”
Hearing this, Fang Yu started talking freely.
"Generally speaking, algae only contain about 20% protein and have very low nutritional value."
"But my spirulina is different."
"The protein content in spirulina is as high as 70%, and the protein content per unit volume is three times higher than that of beef!"
"Not only that, these spirulina are not only high in protein, but also have other characteristics such as being water-soluble, easily absorbed, and having a wide variety."
"Our Dragon Country was founded not long ago. In a short period of time, we cannot change our dependence on meat to supplement the protein that our people lack."
"The emergence of spirulina has changed this."
"Compared to raising livestock, growing spirulina requires far less capital and manpower."
"Once this spirulina is planted on a large scale, the people of our country will be able to obtain high-quality protein that is both high-quality and affordable."
"If we eat it together with food, the physical fitness of the people of our Dragon Country will definitely be greatly improved."
"From now on, I'm afraid no one will dare to call us the 'Sick Man of East Asia' anymore!"
