Recently, China's first full-chain independent research and development plant factory was officially completed and put into use in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, which has undoubtedly become a major milestone in the history of China's and even global agricultural development.
Previously, crop cultivation still had to rely on natural resources such as sunlight and land, but now China has advanced intellectual property rights, which is undoubtedly a disruptive change. Through advanced agricultural technology, we can achieve a crop planting model that does not depend on the natural environment, which will greatly reduce the pressure on land resources, improve crop yields, better guarantee human food, and open up a new direction for future agricultural development.
Secondly, the unmanned management mode adopted by this vertical plant factory is also one of its highlights. In the past, agricultural production mostly relied on manpower, but now through automatic control systems and intelligent equipment, the entire farm does not need human intervention, and this efficient and accurate management method also gives higher efficiency and safety to crop planting.
What's more, the plant is not only able to farm in the right climate, but also grow crops in difficult living conditions, which opens up the space for crops to grow, making this soilless cultivation technology much more adaptable.
What is an unmanned vertical plant factory?
Do you know the concept of an unmanned vertical plant factory?Presumably, some people may not know much about this, so what kind of existence is it, and how is it different from the traditional greenhouse?
Let me popularize it here: the unmanned vertical plant factory actually refers to a set of high-efficiency agricultural facilities system that integrates cutting-edge scientific and technological means such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and communication technology to achieve annual continuous food production in a limited space height.
Such a system allows for fine control of the environment in which the crops grow, ensuring that the crops can grow quickly and achieve high yields with high yields and high quality without relying on the soil environment in nature.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that this plant factory in Chengdu, Sichuan Province is not only one of the largest factories of its kind in the world, but also has the world's top automated production system, which can realize the fully automated operation of the entire process from seed to finished product, completely get rid of manual intervention, greatly save labor costs, and significantly improve production efficiency.
In addition, this modern agricultural facility system is not only suitable for various complex and harsh environments, such as extreme environments such as cities, Gobi desert areas, and even alpine regions;The most amazing thing is that it can achieve continuous and steady growth of a wide variety of crops year after year.
It is reported that the technology can produce vegetables at least ten times a year, and the annual output is expected to exceed 50 tons, which greatly improves the utilization rate of land resources.
The research team members say they are looking at how to further optimize the performance of the breeding accelerator so that it can better resemble the effects of natural light.
In short, this artificial light source can mimic or replace natural light sources, and effectively accelerate the growth and reproduction of crops by precisely controlling the brightness and color of the light.
That being the case, our research team has managed to compile a huge database of 72 major crops and more than 1,300 precision light formulations during the research and development process, which has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the physiological research of crops.
After repeated verification, it has been found that the various types of crops produced in plant factories, such as wheat, corn and soybeans, are almost identical in terms of nutritional content to field crops.
What is particularly interesting is that China's unmanned vertical plant factory has adopted the world's most advanced automatic production technology system.
Specifically, the system integrates a number of cutting-edge technological elements, such as our self-developed new crop varieties, all-round three-dimensional planting technology, automatic Auhelical Nutrition Diving System (ANDs), bionic energy-saving light sources, and intelligent management and control systems with the help of artificial intelligence, to ensure that the pan-manufacturing process from the seed stage to the finished product can be fully automated.
You must know that the successful completion and official operation of the unmanned vertical plant factory will inject a strong impetus into our agricultural development and national defense construction.
At the level of agricultural development, the unmanned vertical plant factory fully integrates high-end technologies in agriculture and information technology, energy technology, biotechnology and other fields, opening a new chapter for agricultural development towards more environmentally friendly, intelligent and digital.
However, for people who have already studied and understood such systems in depth, it is inevitable that many worries and doubts will arise.
For example, although crops carefully cultivated through artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology can meet market demand and consumer expectations in the short term, do they really conform to the basic rules and cycles that nature has given to crops to grow?
Or could these fully automated planting techniques based on emerging technologies eventually lead to farmers being forced to quit the industry altogether, leaving them without the space to survive?
Undoubtedly, these fears are not unfounded. With the advent of each new technology, there are always some traditional ideas that will be subverted, and even have a huge impact on people's preconceived notions. It is often a long and arduous process to ensure that each new technology is widely available and smoothly adopted, and that it is eventually adapted and accepted by the general public.
At the same time, we must also firmly believe that the vigorous rise and rapid development of new technologies is a powerful source of power to promote the continuous progress of human civilization, so that China's overall comprehensive national strength and international influence have been further enhanced.
Therefore, in the face of innovative scientific and technological achievements such as unmanned vertical plant factories, we should deeply understand and actively use them with an open and inclusive attitude, so as to explore and accept them from a new perspective. I am convinced that these new technologies will eventually become an agricultural model that is conducive to the harmonious coexistence of human beings and natural ecology.
