Cctv news(Focus interview): "For a big country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, the basic position of agriculture cannot be ignored or weakened at any time. It is true at any time to have food in hand and not panic in mind." The Great Northern Wilderness is one of the three black soil belts in the world. The fertile soil and abundant precipitation here are very suitable for agricultural development, and there is a saying that "the black soil will sprout when you pinch it, and the chopsticks will sprout". After decades of efforts, the Great Northern Wilderness has already become a great northern warehouse, which has played a great role in solving the problem of food and clothing for China people. In September 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Jiansanjiang Branch of Beidahuang Group for investigation and investigation, which put forward new requirements for grain production here and brought more vitality and development opportunities here.
In May, rice fields in Sanjiang Plain were busy transplanting rice seedlings, and so was Hongwei Farm of Beidahuang Group. However, in this field, only machinery is busy, and no one can be seen. Now, Beidahuang Group has taken the lead in opening a "new era of unmanned operation" of modern agriculture in China.
So how do these machines work? In fact, the people who command them are miles away.
The Smart Farm Command Center is equivalent to the brain nerve center system of the unmanned farm. When the workers operate here, they can command all the unmanned machines in the farm to farm. For example, which machine to start and what route to take, including a few centimeters and millimeters of line margins, can be set very accurately.
Set up all the data, give the start instruction, and the designated machinery on the farm will start working.
Precision transplanting and fertilization, which used to be impossible for several days, are now finished in half a day. Although people are not in the field, these machines are very obedient, because the remote operating system of the command center can monitor the whole process of mechanical operation in real time and control every step accurately.
And these machines don’t just passively accept instructions, they can interact intelligently with commanders.
These scenes that look like science fiction movies have now become a reality here. In recent years, Beidahuang Group has intensified its scientific and technological innovation, and used advanced technologies such as Beidou satellite navigation and 5G to take the lead in exploring the construction of unmanned smart farms. Six demonstration areas have been built, with an operating area of over 10,000 mu, and the whole process of agricultural planting can be unmanned.
Injecting agriculture into the power of science and technology will inevitably develop rapidly. In recent years, the grain production of Beidahuang Group has not only greatly increased production and increased efficiency, but also significantly improved the quality of grain, creating a number of high-quality agricultural products brands — — This is also the idea and direction advocated by the state to develop grain production.
There are many self-produced high-quality agricultural products in the lobby of Beidahuang Agricultural Machinery Center. When the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited in 2018, he paid special attention to these agricultural products.
Later, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the paddy field outside with an area of 10,000 mu of land to learn about the production and living conditions of the farm workers who were farming, and said to them, "The Great Northern Wilderness has played a great role in solving the problem of food and clothing for China people. Now the development of mechanization, informationization and intelligence here is great, and it is not easy to build the Great Northern Wilderness."
The land guide was particularly touched by the general secretary’s words. Three generations of his family are farm workers. Grandpa was the first pioneer who came here in response to the call in the 1950s, and his father worked here all his life. It can be said that the youth of his whole family has been dedicated to this land.
In 1950s, China began to develop the Great Northern Wilderness on a large scale. Tens of thousands of builders responded to the call and came here to break ground and launched the feat of "asking for food from the wasteland". At that time, the Great Northern Wilderness was still full of thorns and swamps, and the conditions were extremely difficult. The pioneers suffered unimaginable difficulties.
Difficulties and hardships did not knock down the pioneers, but they had a sense of mission in their hearts.
After several generations of efforts, the Great Northern Wilderness has now become a solid northern warehouse. However, the sense of responsibility that people in the Great Northern Wilderness should work hard to grow grain and mostly produce grain for the country has been passed down from generation to generation. In 2018, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here to inspect and encourage the people in the Great Northern Wilderness, which added confidence and motivation to the younger generation.
The new generation of builders are still farming, but their methods are completely different from those of their grandparents.
The land guide has been renting other people’s drones before, and recently the land guide plans to buy one. Although grandpa didn’t quite understand it, he still expressed his support. Now grandpa often laments that he has planted land all his life, but now he is a layman compared with these young people.
The modernization of agriculture in the Great Northern Wilderness is only a microcosm of China’s agricultural development. In recent years, with the vigorous promotion of the state, all major grain producing areas are gradually realizing the transformation from backward farming methods to large-scale mechanization and automation. Now, for many growers, farming has become a brand-new way of life.
Like Zhou Dehua, farmers in the Great Northern Wilderness Smart Farm now have a special fertilization proposal for each piece of land. According to this formula, the yield and quality of grain are much higher than before. Behind this change is still the power of technology.
Only when growers can understand and learn, can science and technology play its role. This requires not only vigorous scientific research, but also efforts from all parties to do the work according to the needs of growers, so that scientific research results can become a useful magic weapon for growing grain. For example, behind the fertilization formula, there are many efforts of researchers.
Researchers collect samples, conduct tests, form scientific data, and then transmit them to the big data platform of the farm Internet of Things.
Internet of Things big data platform is an important achievement of information construction of Beidahuang Group in recent years. At present, all kinds of intelligent equipment are installed in each plot in the demonstration area, which can monitor and collect all kinds of data in real time for 24 hours, and at the same time transmit them to the information platform for intelligent analysis, forming scientific guidance to guide growers to accurately operate every link of grain growing.
The new agriculture needs new thinking, and the spirit of struggle of the people in the Great Northern Wilderness will not change, but the pace of learning will keep moving forward.
"Agriculture is a basic industry, and China’s modernization cannot be separated from agricultural modernization." We can see that in the endless Sanjiang Plain, large-scale machinery criss-crossing fields, unmanned aerial vehicles fertilizing and spraying drugs, plus improved seed selection and scientific soil testing and fertilization have changed people’s traditional impression of grain production. Grain production is entering the era of scale, automation and intelligence. This also gives us a direction to ensure food security, that is, "to revitalize agriculture, we must plug in the wings of science and technology, and we must rely on excellent talents, advanced equipment and parks that are suitable for industrial development."
