BEIJING, Feb. 7 -- A border defense company assigned to the PLA Xinjiang Military Command stationed in Shenxianwan at an elevation of 5,380 meters got good news that a smart "vegetable factory" has produced the first batch of fresh leafy greens of eight varieties. For the service members of the sentry post, they could now grow whatever they aspire, instead of eating whatever they had.

近日,驻守在海拔5380米的新疆军区神仙湾边防连传来好消息:智能“蔬菜工厂”生产出首批共8个品种的新鲜绿叶菜。哨所官兵实现从“有什么吃什”,到“吃什么种什么”的转变。

It is reported that the Xinjiang Military Command has kept on introducing high-tech planting technologies time and time again in the past. However, due to the long wintertime, low average temperature throughout the year and oxygen level in the atmosphere, the average growth cycle of vegetables was very long at the elevation of over 5,000 meters. It remained dauntingly difficult to meet the troops’ demands for fresh vegetables in a steady and stable way.

据悉,新疆军区此前多次引进高科技种植技术,但由于海拔5000米以上哨所冬季时间长、年平均气温低、空气含氧量低,蔬菜平均生长周期长,难以持续满足官兵吃新鲜蔬菜需求。

This time, the PLA Xinjiang Military Command has introduced advanced biological and optoelectronics technologies, and made use of intelligent computers and electronic sensing systems to monitor and manage the environmental factors, such as temperatures for vegetable plant growth, humidity levels and light intelligently. Besides, the vegetable growing environment was kept so clean at the same time that the products were edible, sparing the trouble of washing.

为给驻高海拔地区部队官兵提供更好保障,新疆军区引进生物、光电等先进技术,利用智能计算机、电子传感系统,对蔬菜生长温度、湿度、光照等环境条件进行智能管理。此外,蔬菜生长环境保持清洁干净,无需水洗即可食用。

It is learned that the smart vegetable factory was built at the Shenxianwan border defense company late last year. Compared with the ordinary greenhouse vegetables, the first batch of vegetables has got a significantly-shortened growth cycle, with an average daily output of about 10kg.

据了解,智能“蔬菜工厂”去年底在神仙湾边防连建成,此次产出首批新鲜蔬菜,比普通温室种植周期明显缩短,平均日产量约10公斤。

Based on what has been achieved, there would be more smart vegetable factories for the PLA plateau border defense troops in the near future, according to a competent officer in the Xinjiang Military Command.

新疆军区相关负责人说,下一步,他们将在已有经验基础上,逐步推进高原边防部队智能“蔬菜工厂”建设。
