During the busy spring farming season, some businesses in the vast countryside promote a high-tech product that claims to be able to empower crop seeds through quantum technology. Merchants claim that with their machines, they can increase production and income in the field, what kind of agricultural technology product is this quantum technology?
Planting crops and using "quantum technology" to resist diseases and disasters also increase yields
Is seed empowerment a real technology or pseudoscience?
The content posted by a short video account is amazing, crop seeds not only grow fast and well after their so-called quantum empowerment, but even the taste and taste will be significantly improved.
According to the information in the video, at the end of March 2024, the reporter of "Financial Investigation" came to Half Mu Hetian Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., located in Pingdingshan City. Mr. Ma, the person in charge of the company, told reporters that quantum empowerment is the core technology of their company, and it has been demonstrated through repeated experiments.
Another person in charge of the company, Mr. Han in the short video account, introduced his company's quantum empowerment technology, which can not only shorten the growth cycle of crops and increase yields, but more importantly, make crops resistant to drought, waterlogging, lodging, diseases and pests. Mr. Han also introduced that their quantum empowerment technology has a wide range of applications, and all crop seeds can be quantum empowered.
Mr. Han took the reporter to a farmland in Ye County, Pingdingshan City, where a sign was erected on the ground, which prominently read "Quantum Energy Wave Empowerment Production Increase Experimental Field".
Mr. Han compared the wheat dug up in the experimental field with the wheat that was not empowered, and said that the wheat stalks that had been empowered were thicker.
According to the company, quantum empowerment technology has increased crop yields by more than 30%, has a short growth cycle, is resistant to disease, drought and flooding, and is applicable to all crops, and there have been no cases of failure in the past five years.
A bungalow not far from the experimental field is the Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute of the Half Mu Hetian Company, and after entering the room, the reporter saw that the words "Quantum Space for Cell Health Care" were written on the top of a door. Mr. Han said that this is the quantum energy capsule that empowers seeds.
Entering the energy cabin, the reporter saw that this was an ordinary room of more than 10 square meters, with wallpaper on the wall, a board like a writing board erected in the room, a few chairs in the middle, and the back wall was written, "Quantum energy cabin promotes quantum technology and benefits human health", which is very different from the reporter's imagination full of science and technology.
This so-called quantum energy chamber also contains some seeds that are being empowered.
The person in charge of the company told reporters that the board in the room, which is like a writing board, is the core component of the quantum energy cabin, and it can empower the seeds after it is turned on and debugged. According to the geomagnetic field, latitude and longitude, seed type, etc., the time and frequency required for seed empowerment are also different.
Another manager Yan explained the working principle of the quantum energy cabin to the reporter. Manager Yan said: "It uses quantum entanglement, high frequency drives low frequency, and by adjusting the biomagnetic field of mitochondria in the existing cells of the plant, like IVF, to achieve the best state." He also said that there are many patents for this equipment, even shelves and screws.
Quantum energy capsules, quantum technology empowerment, and more and more descriptions make reporters more and more skeptical. In order to retain the reporter as a potential "big customer", the company's management simply calculated the prospect of the machine's profitability for the reporter: one mu of wheat seeds can be empowered to earn 100 yuan, and a piece of equipment can empower 5,000 mu a year, which is 500,000 yuan.
However, the reporter further visited and found that Uncle Lu of Luzhuang Village, Yexian County, did quantum empowerment of peanut seeds last year, but did not achieve the expected effect of increasing yield.
Subsequently, the reporter took out the peanut comparison chart provided by the person in charge of the half-acre Hetian Company, and Uncle Lu's son saw the problem at a glance. He believes that the comparison of ordinary peanuts in the picture is obviously manipulative, and this comparison is meaningless.
Master Liu from Laoyazhang Village, Ye County, has made quantum empowerment for some of his wheat seeds. The reporter and Master Liu did a wheat tiller number comparison test, and the results showed that ordinary wheat grew better than over-endowed wheat.
Try it for free Wishers take the bait
Does anyone really believe the outrageous propaganda?
Not only in Pingdingshan City, the reporter came to Baoqing County, Shuangyashan City to meet Mr. Liu of Quantum Energy Technology Co., Ltd. In Mr. Liu's place, the seeds do not need to be unpacked, the bags do not need to pierce the eyes, and the seeds can be empowered through optics.
Mr. Liu's quantum energy cabin is a simple iron room of more than 20 square meters in the new farmer's market, and several small fans with lights are hanging on each wall and constantly rotating.
Mr. Liu told reporters that his business in the village is very hot, not only to provide technical support to franchisees, but also to provide a set of sales skills. He told reporters that we must take advantage of people's love to take advantage of small advantages. In the first year, under the guise of free service, we try to spread out as much as possible, and in the second year, customers who feel useful will naturally come to the door, and those who feel useless will not come to trouble because of the confiscation of money. As long as the base of quantum empowerment is large, it is a matter of time before you make a profit.
In fact, whether seed empowerment is useful or not, farmers are not very clear.
The so-called quantum empowerment marketing is betting on a probability, it is normal for crop yields to fluctuate, and as long as the yield increases in the second year, there will always be farmers who think that quantum empowerment has played a role.
A company called Shengcang Technology in Baoqing County, the company is not large, and there is a machine similar to a space capsule near the door, which looks full of science and technology.
Manager Wang made it clear that the company's main business is to quantum-empower crop seeds, and the capsule-like equipment at the door is called "multi-dimensional wave frequency energy information implantation module", and the seeds are empowered through this equipment. The reporter saw that the equipment description said that "multi-dimensional wave frequency energy information implantation technology is a biological resonance technology based on the principles of quantum physics and quantum mechanics".
Like other companies, the process of empowerment is to put the purchased seeds into the pod and wait for 30 minutes to complete the empowerment.
The magic of this company is that it can not only empower seeds, but also all kinds of items in life, and the price is also clearly marked and hung on the wall.
Seeing that the reporter was interested in quantum empowerment daily necessities, Manager Wang and another manager of the company surnamed Bai became interested and began to introduce the magical effect of quantum empowerment to reporters.
Despite such outrageous publicity, the staff still declared that they would not engage in the business of cheating.
Fake experts and pseudoscience are revealed
The Chinese Academy of Sciences angrily criticized the "black hands of pit farmers" in the countryside
After several rounds, this reporter came to the Rongzhide (Tangshan) Quantum Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., which is located in Beichuang (Tangshan) Science and Technology Park, Leting County, Tangshan City, and the company's engineers told the reporter that this equipment was produced in cooperation with another company.
When the reporter told Wang Gong and another expert surnamed Xu of Rongzhide Company about the use of this equipment to empower all things, the two said that Shengcang Technology Company was hyping concepts and deceiving people.
But the two also said that although the empowerment of all things is false propaganda, the empowerment of seeds is achievable.
Not only that, Xu expert also told reporters that quantum empowerment of seeds through implantation cabins is already a previous generation of technology, and his new technology is information field transmission, as long as the photos of the farmland are taken, he can send remote information for intervention, which can achieve the magical effect of no insects and more vigorous growth.
This reporter interviewed Fan Huan, director of the Solid-State Quantum Laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who told this reporter that quantum is the smallest unit of various physical quantities, such as mass, energy, and volume, and although it has many special properties, the conditions for the production of these special properties are very harsh. Due to the harsh application environment, the cost of quantum equipment is extremely expensive, a quantum computer, the country's investment is at least tens of millions of yuan, and the quantum effect is maintained for a very short time, Fan Huan reminded farmers and consumers, the so-called use of quantum technology in agricultural seeds or daily necessities in the market, this is simply impossible to achieve, do not be deceived.
These pseudo-scientific and marketing deceptions are popular in some rural areas, and we also suggest that the market supervision department should not only manage fake agricultural materials in the anti-counterfeiting action launched during the busy spring farming, but also not let go of these fake technologies and pseudo-science that deceive farmers and pit farmers.
