Wall Street elites will never understand why Lin Chen gave up his job as a financial analyst with a six-figure annual salary, took a box of agricultural patents and his grandfather's old pocket watch, and plunged into the deserted farms of the great plains of the central United States. This red land, known as the "granary of the world", once witnessed the passion of the Westward Expansion Movement and the glory of large-scale agriculture, but now it has become a battlefield for transnational capital - Monsanto's genetically modified seeds monopolize the market with "high yield" as bait, and grain merchants such as Cargill and Bunge use futures manipulation to lower purchase prices. Small farmers are struggling to survive under the "either scale up or be eliminated" rule. Half a century of continuous monoculture farming has already caused the organic matter content of chernozem soil to fall below the warning level. Agricultural non-point source pollution in the Mississippi River is eroding the ecology of the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of 1,000 square kilometers per year. When Lin Chen took over the two hundred acres of "abandoned land" left by his grandfather, his neighbor, the old farmer Thomson, once said bluntly: "Yellow-skinned boy, this is not Wall Street, and the land will not pay for speculators."
Lin Chen's counterattack began with a new definition of "super agriculture" - not a myth of scale piled up by capital, but a symbiosis of technology, ecology and humanity. He refused to use genetically modified seeds from multinational companies, and led his team to cultivate the "Huaxing series" crops in the laboratory that combine Eastern stress-resistance genes with Western high-yield characteristics; he used self-developed soil remediation bacteria to restore the fertility of the hardened land within a year; built a "sky-ground-underground" three-dimensional monitoring network: satellite navigation realizes the full process automation of sowing, irrigation, and harvesting, and drones carry spectral analysis
