Chapter 286: Working Together to Overcome Difficulties
The countryside in the 60s was like a simple yet hopeful painting, slowly unfolding in the tide of the times.
Although the promotion and application of green agricultural machinery has achieved some results, the road ahead is still full of thorns and requires everyone's concerted efforts to open up.
In a vast countryside in South America, there are large tracts of fertile land, but due to the limitations of traditional farming methods, the yield has not been ideal.
The alliance's green agricultural machinery has come to this place called Hope Village, carrying the important task of changing the local agricultural landscape.
As soon as the alliance's technician Sun Ming arrived in the village with a batch of machinery, he was surrounded by enthusiastic and curious villagers.
Village chief Rodriguez stood at the front, his eyes full of expectation and doubt, and said to Sun Ming: "Technician Sun, our village has been farming like this for generations. Although it is hard work, we are used to it. Can your machinery really make our crops grow better and yield more?"
Sun Ming smiled and responded: "Don't worry, village chief. This machine has been proven in practice many times. Take this wind-driven irrigation machine for example. It's very windy here, so it can be put to good use."
As he spoke, he pointed to the uniquely shaped irrigation machine next to him, the blades on which were gently turning in the breeze.
Carlos, an old farmer in the village, stroked his gray beard, took a closer look, and said doubtfully, "Young man, although wind is common here, can this machine use wind energy to irrigate the fields? Don't let the machine break down instead of irrigating the fields. That would be terrible."
Sun Ming patiently explained, "Uncle Carlos, the principle of this irrigation machine is actually not complicated. The rotation of the fan blades drives the device inside the machine to pump water from the river, and then evenly irrigate the land through the pipes. We can go to the riverside and try it now, and you will understand it at a glance."
So everyone followed them to the river.
Sun Ming directed several young villagers to help set up the irrigation machine. As the breeze gradually rose, the blades turned rapidly, and the clear river water flowed through the pipes to the dry farmland. The even flow of water was like a flexible silk thread, weaving a pattern of hope on the land.
The villagers couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when they saw this scene.
The young man Juan shouted excitedly: "Wow, this is amazing. In the past, it was very difficult for us to water the plants. We had to carry water bucket by bucket and it was very tiring and we still couldn't water them evenly."
But the joy didn't last long, as new problems arose.
The next day, when the villagers were about to use the irrigation machine to irrigate other plots of land, they found that the irrigation machine could not pump any water.
Everyone was anxious and helpless, and hurried to call Sun Ming.
After Sun Ming arrived and checked, he found that the water pipe was blocked by debris in the river.
While cleaning up the debris, he said to the villagers around him: "There are a lot of debris in this river. In the future, we need to add a filter at the water inlet to avoid this situation."
Uncle Carlos sighed, "Alas, this new thing is easy to use, but it's a bit delicate. It started to break right after I started using it."
Sun Ming said quickly, "Uncle, you have to be more careful when you first use it. Once you get used to it and do regular maintenance, it won't go wrong so often. Besides, the benefits of this machine far outweigh these minor troubles."
After this small setback, Sun Ming carefully explained the daily maintenance knowledge of the machinery to the villagers, and led everyone to take various protective measures for the machinery.
Gradually, the villagers became more and more skilled in operating the irrigation machines, and the crops in the fields grew more lush and green with sufficient water.
In a small village in Eastern Europe called Peace Village, people there have an equally urgent need for green agricultural machinery. However, the complex local soil conditions pose considerable challenges to the use of machinery.
Professor Zhao, a soil expert sent by the alliance, and mechanical engineer Zhou Hua came to the village, preparing to improve the machinery according to the soil conditions.
Professor Zhao held the soil sample, frowned, and said to the village chief Petrov: "Village chief, the soil in our village is very sticky and mixed with a lot of stones. Ordinary tillage machinery will easily get stuck or even damaged when working in this kind of soil."
The village chief said worriedly: "What can we do, Professor Zhao? We are counting on these machines to help us cultivate the land and increase production."
Zhou Hua thought for a while and said, "I think we can modify the plowshare of the tillage machine and design it to be sharper and stronger, so that it can break through the hard soil layer and is not easily damaged by stones. In addition, we can adjust the power output of the machine and increase the torque so that it has enough power to move forward in this kind of soil."
Professor Zhao nodded in agreement and said, "Well, Xiao Zhou's idea is correct, but the specific transformation still needs to go through multiple experiments to see which solution works best."
They got to work right away. They found a vacant lot in the village, set up a simple work shed, and began to experiment with the transformation of farming machinery.
During the first test, the modified machine had just entered the field for a short while when it began to emit black smoke due to excessive torque and almost stalled.
Zhou Hua scratched his head anxiously and said, "Oh, the power adjustment is still not appropriate. It seems that I need to figure out how to balance the power and mechanical bearing capacity."
Professor Zhao comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhou. No R&D project will succeed in one try. Let's take our time. We can always find the best solution by trying a few more times."
After repeated debugging and improvement, the tillage machinery was finally able to plow the land smoothly in the complex soil, and plow deeply and evenly.
Seeing the tillage machines working happily in the fields, the village chief Petrov smiled from ear to ear and said to Professor Zhao and Zhou Hua: "Thank you so much. Now the land in our village can be saved. I can imagine the scene of a bumper harvest in the future."
In another rural village in Asia, Fengshou Village, green agricultural machinery encountered the problem of lack of funds during its promotion process.
The village wanted to buy some new green agricultural machinery, but after scraping together enough money, it still lacked a large sum of money.
Village Party Secretary Zhang Dahai was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, so he found Li Hui, the local head of the alliance.
Zhang Dahai said helplessly: "Comrade Li, our village really wants to buy more machinery to improve production efficiency, but we don't have enough money. Can you help us think of a solution?"
Li Hui frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Secretary Zhang, I understand your difficulties. Let me report the situation to the alliance headquarters to see if we can get more subsidies or preferential policies. In addition, we can also organize everyone in the village to do some side jobs to save money."
Zhang Dahai sighed and said, "Alas, it takes time to make money from a sideline job. The crops don't wait."
At this time, the village accountant Wang Youcai suggested: "Secretary, there are many women in our village who are good at handicrafts. We can organize them to make some handicrafts, such as bamboo baskets and straw weavings, and sell them in the city. Maybe we can make a lot of money."
Zhang Dahai's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, that's a good idea. Let's do it."
As a result, the women in the village took action and gathered together to weave handicrafts during the slack season.
Li Hui also actively reported the situation to the alliance headquarters. After efforts from all parties, the headquarters decided to increase subsidies to Fengshou Village and contacted some buyers to purchase handicrafts in the village.
In this way, Fengshou Village finally raised enough money to purchase new green agricultural machinery.
Watching the brand new machines driving into the village, the villagers' faces were filled with joyful smiles, as if they saw a better life in the future waving at them.
With the joint efforts of villages around the world and the strong support of the alliance, green agricultural machinery is gradually overcoming various difficulties and taking root, sprouting, blooming and bearing fruit in different lands.
At a global rural development experience exchange conference jointly organized by multiple countries, the scene was very lively. Rural representatives from all over the world gathered together to share their stories about green agricultural machinery and experiences in rural development.
Wang Dashan, the representative of the alliance, stood on the stage again. He looked firm and said affectionately: "Dear colleagues, in the challenging 60s, we have come a long way with sweat, tears and harvest. The promotion and application of green agricultural machinery in villages around the world is like a seed of hope. Under everyone's careful care, it has gradually grown into a towering tree. Although there were many difficulties in the process, we never backed down. With our perseverance and the spirit of unity and cooperation, we overcame one difficulty after another. Today, we see the vitality of the countryside because of these machines, the bumper harvest of crops, and the smiles on the faces of farmers. All this is hard-won. But we can't stop here. There are more villages waiting for us to help in the future, and there are more technical problems that we need to break through. Let us continue to work together to let the light of green agricultural machinery illuminate every corner of the countryside around the world and create a more brilliant future for the countryside!"
The representatives in the audience burst into warm and prolonged applause, which echoed throughout the venue, as if it was everyone's common vow to continue firmly on the path of development of green agricultural machinery, to contribute all their strength to rural revitalization and the sustainable development of global agriculture, and to fill the future of the countryside with endless hope and beauty.
