In 2010, the 10th Regiment of the First Agricultural Division of the **Production and Construction Corps used new science and new technology to transform traditional agriculture. Faced with a severe shortage of water resources and its disadvantaged position as a unit downstream of the First Division's water supply, it independently developed new machinery for sowing rice on dryland with drip irrigation under plastic film, which was put into rice production and vigorously promoted by Aral City of the First Division. According to Kong Jun, the First Division's deputy division commander in charge of agriculture, this cultivation model not only saves labor in rice planting but also conserves water resources and farmland costs, helping to increase rice yields and efficiency, and it has opened a new chapter for the Corps' agriculture and livestock farms.
