spn empire, northwest of mainland.

More than ten years ago, this was a vast desert in the deep northwest, but today it is covered with forests, with visible rivers and green trees.

Over the years, the empire has invested great efforts in transforming deserts and wastelands, gradually transforming millions of square kilometers of barren sandy land in the northwest into forestland.

This place is located deep in the jungle, and the vegetation is very dense. Looking at it, it seems as if you have strayed into a primitive jungle. A huge airport has been built in an open area. Although the facilities are a bit rudimentary, it can indeed accommodate the take-off, landing and docking of spacecraft.

The road hidden in the jungle leads all the way to a huge building complex - the Imperial Department of Flora and Fauna Research.[

The Imperial Department of Animal and Plant Research is a department affiliated with the Science and Technology Committee and is fully responsible for the empire's animal and plant research.

This 28-square-kilometer area is divided into two major research centers: animal and plant. The plant research center is headed by Liang Huaran, a famous plant research expert in the empire and the minister of the imperial animal and plant research department.

The Animal Research Center is headed by Tong Dizhou, a famous imperial animal research expert and deputy director of the Imperial Animal and Plant Research Department.

"It's so beautiful."

Tongdi Zhou stood on the 15th floor of the research department building and looked down. He saw a large jungle as far as the eye could see. In the depths of the large jungle, you could also see a very wide lake. There were all kinds of strange animals in it, including some that could fly.

Fish leap high out of the lake, their scales reflecting, scorching in the sun.

According to the order of the Science and Technology Committee, the Imperial Department of Animal and Plant Research will be split into two first-level departments, the Imperial Department of Animal Research and the Department of Plant Research.

He will be fully responsible for the work of the Imperial Animal Research Department, and the headquarters will be moved to Changqing Star to carry out scientific research with the help of the superior animal resources of Changqing Star and Avatar Star.

"Brother Zhou, I must be reluctant to leave here, and so am I. You go first, and then our branch of the Plant Research Department will pass by.

Changqing Star and Avatar Star are our opportunities."

Liang Huaran stood side by side with him, also looking into the distance.

In the field of vision of the two people, several small spaceships were flying up and down deep in the jungle, busy non-stop.

"Let's go, brother Zhou. Accompany me to see our great harvest."

Liang Huaran invited with a smile, and his younger brother Zhou happily agreed. The two went directly to the roof, where a flying car was parked. They didn't need a driver. This simple flying car was very simple and smooth to drive, so Liang Huaran often drove it himself.

The speeding car drew a long trajectory and flew deep into the jungle.

This jungle covering tens of thousands of square kilometers is almost entirely covered with dune fruit trees.

Sand dune fruit is a fruit that is generally grown by first-level civilizations and then sold to second-level civilizations as raw materials. The processed product, a kind of dune fruit, is very popular in second-level civilizations and has high nutritional value.

Many first-level civilizations do not know how to process this kind of dune fruit. They have neither machinery nor technology, so they work for the second-level civilization in vain. As we all know, the profit of raw materials is the lowest.

Sand dune fruit was the first commercial crop planted in the empire, under the personal arrangement of Zhang Shusheng. This kind of fruit is suitable for planting on the earth, grows quickly, and can be processed and refined by self-exchange equipment. It is worth planting on a large scale.

Because among the exchangeable machinery of the Dream System, there happens to be this kind of sand dune fruit processing equipment and processing technology.[

After two years, the processing technology has already matured, and a large number of sand dune fruits in stock are just waiting to be refined and processed.

Those picking machines modified from flying cars fly in the air, relying on several small robotic arms on the flying cars to accurately grab the small sand dune fruits.

Fortunately, there are these highly automated fruit harvesters. Otherwise, if we rely on manual picking, it would be difficult to climb up those sand dune fruit trees that are more than 30 meters high.

The automatic picking machine grabs the fruits, puts them in the belly of the machine, and then transports them directly to the processing plant next to the airport.

"With these high-tech picking equipment, it seems that we can finish picking these dune fruits in two or three days."

Young brother Zhou couldn't help but think of the time when he first arrived here. Minister Liang Huaran had built this place into a world beyond his imagination. At that time, the fruit trees in the sand dunes were only seven or eight meters high. Now they are more than thirty meters high. Time

It went by too fast.

"The chairman said that this time all the sand dune fruits we have in stock will be processed into sand dune fruit powder and a buyer will be found."

Liang Huaran has been in the desert for more than ten years. Seeing the inventory of sand dune fruits in the warehouse increasing, he is also worried. Although he firmly believes what the chairman said, these stocks will one day become as high as a mountain.

Gold and silver, but he did not expect that one sudden afternoon, he received a call from Zhang Shusheng, telling him that these sand dune fruits could be processed and were ready to be shipped.

There is nothing like the result of nearly twenty years of work, and suddenly one day its economic value is confirmed.

"Although the dune fruit is our first large-scale planting fruit, it is very successful. We have not yet established any major economic projects in animal research. To be honest, I am very envious, Hua Ran."

Tongdi Zhou said with envy that although animal research is more for the future empire to enter the universe, it is also a good thing if it can produce direct economic value.

"The nutritional value of dune fruit is very high. The 200,000 tons of dune fruit set aside this time are just to make nutritious meals for children. The dune fruit juice produced from it has a higher nutritional value than walnut drinks.

Too many."

Liang Huaran said expectantly that with the gradual improvement of the national physique, traditional milk and fruit drinks can no longer meet the nutritional needs of the younger generation. As a member of the Nutrition Society, after receiving the approval of the chairman, he proposed to transfer the secrets of the empire to

The grown dune fruits are refined and processed to make nutritious meals for the children.

"The future is worth our efforts."

Tongdi Zhou thought of the last time he returned to Hanking to attend the meeting of the Science and Technology Committee. When he met the chairman, he was also moved by what the chairman said about the Changqingxing breeding plan.

If the research and planting of Changqing Star can proceed smoothly, children, and even all compatriots in the empire, will be able to eat more new aquatic products in the future.

…

Empire,Hanjing Mountain.

"Chairman, there are currently less than 10% of the dune fruits left to be picked. It is expected that the picking work will be completed in a few days."

A secretary is making a report to Zhang Shusheng. There are many affairs in the empire now, and the Central Secretariat has a large number of secretaries who are responsible for summarizing the situation of various industries and then reporting to Zhang Shusheng.

"Just keep this 10%. The Sand Dune Fruit Drink we delivered last time tastes great and has high nutritional value. Let's distribute it to local schools in advance.

The rest will be kept for later refining, processing, and expanded use.”[

Zhang Shusheng tasted the Sand Dune Fruit Dew sent by Liang Huaran some time ago and felt that it tasted very good, especially the nutritional value. It can definitely become a nutritional drink for schools at all levels.

Unfortunately, the yield of sand dune fruits is not high enough, including stocks, to be put on the market on a large scale.

According to the plan, in addition to giving priority to all school students, researchers, technical workers, some officials, etc., Shusheng Company will produce a batch of products for sale.

The remaining sand dune fruits will be processed into sand dune fruit powder and shipped for sale.

"Yes, Chairman. In addition, the current processing progress is relatively smooth. Since the machine failure was repaired last month, the processing plant has optimized and improved some processes. Now the total sand dune fruit powder has reached 900,000 tons."

The secretary went on to say that 900,000 tons of dune fruit powder would be a huge number if processed into dune jelly. After refining and processing, the sand dune fruit powder is only one step away from dune nectar by adding water.

"Well, there are more than 900,000 tons of sand dune fruit powder, which is barely enough to load a ship."

The carrying capacity of the Xiao He-class transport ship is actually more than 900,000 tons. After all, a larger ocean-going ship can also carry hundreds of thousands of tons. However, this trip has to pass through the complex star field of the Lost Star Territory. In order to ensure speed and safety, the spacecraft

It is necessary to both strengthen and reduce the load capacity, so it can barely carry 900,000 tons.

"How are the preparations for those ornamental plants going?"

During this voyage, Zhang Shusheng not only loaded a boatload of sand dune fruit powder, but also loaded a boatload of ornamental flowers, mainly chrysanthemums, bonsais, orchids, etc.

These ornamental plants are all unique plants of the earth. We don’t need to sell them for a high price, but it is better than shipping our own mineral resources to sell them.

What's more, Zhang Shusheng is ready to hype up these special flowers and plants and strive to sell them at a high price.

Because the earth is located in the Lost Star Field, which is almost completely isolated from the world, many plants and animals are unique and rarely seen outside. Zhang Shusheng does not know if there are similar plants in other parts of the universe, at least they are the only ones in the southwest star field of the Milky Way.

These plants and flowers were purchased by the Imperial National Trading Company on a social basis. After one purchase, almost all the flowers from all the local flower companies were purchased. The following orders even included Southeast Asia and other regions.

Plant and flower companies are making a fortune, paid for by the Empire.

This is also an alternative kind of industrial support. Zhang Shusheng also decided to use this trading method more in the future, through the state or Shusheng Company, using imperial currency to purchase, and then transport it out for sale.

"Start loading!"

Calculating the time, there was not much time left, so Zhang Shusheng ordered the shipment to be shipped.

After returning home from the office center, several wives came home and a sumptuous dinner was served, some of the dishes even came from the distant Changqing Star and Avatar Star.

A kind of cold fern root, which is a specialty of Avatar Star.

A kind of roasted whole fish. The fish is produced from Shuhu Lake in Avatar Star. It has a very good meat texture and high nutritional value. When braised in braised sauce, it has no taste at all.

The dinner was very pleasant. Several wives, including his goddaughter Tantai, knew that Zhang Shusheng was about to sail away, and they were even more kind to him.

Several people were envious of Fu Huiyu because she was going to accompany Zhang Shusheng to the destination of their trip: Nok Merchant Alliance.

After dinner, Zhang Shusheng did not go to bed to do business, but went to the underground office center. Tonight he would start to prepare for his business trip.
Chapter completed!
