一 | 8月20日，滦南县姚王庄镇，田间地头随处可见村民们忙碌的身影。 Israeli officials are planning to ask US President Joe Biden for his formal blessing to provide an Iron Beam laser-based air defense system to Gulf Arab states including the United Arab Emirates and possibly Saudi Arabia, Israel’s Channel 12 has reported.,The unsourced Hebrew-language report, cited by the Times of Israel, indicated the delivery of the system to the Gulf countries would assist with the US-led push to ramp up air defense cooperation between Tel Aviv and a loose regional coalition including Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.,The Jewish State does not have formal diplomatic relations with the latter two country, and Riyadh has repeatedly stated that it would not establish formal ties with Israel until the Palestinian question and the creation of a Palestinian state was settled.,On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US and Middle Eastern sources, that the Pentagon had organized a hush-hush meeting in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt in March to discuss ways to improve air defense cooperation against Iranian ballistic missiles and drones. The meeting was said to have been chaired by then-US Central Command chief Frank McKenzie, and attended by top military commanders from Israel and the Arab countries who were invited.,Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, who announced the formation of a regional anti-Iranian air defense alliance last week, appeared to signal the veracity of WSJ’s reporting on Monday, saying Israel was “building” a “wide partnership with additional countries in the region to ensure a secure, stable and prosperous Middle East,” and that “among other things, this also includes aerial defense.”,Israel Creating 'Middle East Air Defense Alliance' Under US' Wing, Defense Minister Says20 June, 11:03 GMT,“We will strengthen this, as a stable Middle East is an international, regional and Israeli interest of the highest order,” Gantz said.,Iran’s military also appeared to issue an indirect response to WSJ’s report, with Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri warning Monday that Tehran “will not tolerate” the threats posed by Israel and its cooperation with CENTCOM, and “will definitely react to them.”,Israel has long touted the purported advanced capabilities of its so-called ‘Iron Beam’ laser-based air defense system, a prototype of which was unveiled last year. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the “game-changer” weapon would shift the balance in Israel’s favor, with the estimated $2 in electricity required per burst to intercept enemy rockets just a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of dollars a rocket might cost. Bennett expressed hope that the system would come online by 2023.,‘Iron Beam’: Israel’s New Laser Air Defence System ‘Will Bankrupt Enemies’, Bennett Says1 June, 11:44 GMT,Last week, Breaking Defense reported that Israel would ask Biden for more money Iron Beam’s development, on top of the $3.3 billion in annual US subsidies already received by the Israeli military and defense establishment. The outlet’s sources indicated that Israel will likely ask the US president to shell out about $300 million in additional cash.,“The relations between the US and Israel are solid. The issues that will be on the table during the visit are of utmost importance to both the US and Israel. I’m confident that the talks will be fruitful to both sides,” a senior defense source told the outlet.,During his trip to the Middle East next month, Biden is expected to tour an Israeli airbase and get a firsthand look at the prototype laser weapons being developed by Israeli defense giants Rafael and Elbit Systems.,Lasers for use against aircraft, missiles, drones, ships, and ground equipment have been on the drawing board of weapons developers since the Cold War, with engineers spending decades mulling over the prospects of replacing conventional missile and shell projectiles with the futuristic beam pulse. But energy-directed weapons have long faced what have previously been deemed unsolvable issues, such as the immense amounts of power required to operate them, as well as interaction between combat lasers and natural phenomena such as rain, fog, smog or dust, all of which dissipates their strength.,Last month, US weapons maker Raytheon reported that its own laser weapon, fitted aboard an Army Stryker vehicle, had successfully downed incoming mortar rounds in testing.,Raytheon Laser Weapon on Stryker Vehicle Succeeds at Shooting Down Incoming Mortar Shells19 May, 22:19 GMT。他们不是忙着采摘蔬菜，而是将一车车的废弃辣椒秧送往集中堆放点。“以前每年这时候，大棚辣椒结束采摘后，辣椒秧咋处理很让人头疼。
二 | ”正在运送辣椒秧的胡许庄村农户白怀军说，现在镇村统一设置堆放点、统一回收处置，解决了他们的后顾之忧。姚王庄镇是设施蔬菜大镇，现有蔬菜大棚1.2万余座，年产各类蔬菜近40万吨。“蔬菜产业鼓起村民的腰包，却也带来农业废弃物处理难题。
三 | ”姚王庄镇镇长张杰说，特别是每年大棚辣椒收获后，产生近4000吨废弃辣椒秧。这些辣椒秧堆在路边影响交通，还容易引发火灾，扔到沟里又堵塞河道，成了烫手山芋。去年以来，姚王庄镇将废弃辣椒秧处理纳入重点民生工程，专门建立工作队，探索出“镇统筹、村引导、集中回收、统一处理”的办法，系统推进废弃辣椒秧规范化、资源化利用。记者来到土桥村村口的废弃辣椒秧集中堆放点，只见农户开着农用车将废弃辣椒秧运到这里，工作人员操作专业设备装车，再运往下游的集中处理点。“我们共布局了8个集中堆放点，覆盖辣椒主要种植片区。
四 | ”姚王庄镇干部刘昱辰说，他们与第三方公司合作，对废弃辣椒秧进行粉碎、发酵等专业技术处理，变成生物质燃料运往电厂。从无序废弃、污染环境到有序回收、变废为宝，在闭环流程下，废弃辣椒秧这一“生态包袱”变成了“绿色财富”。但姚王庄镇并不满足于现状。在张杰看来，让废弃辣椒秧不出田是更优解。在李庄村辣椒大棚里，一台机械正忙碌作业，“吃”进辣椒秧，“吐”出碎粉末，直接撒到地里。“今年，镇上引导我们种菜大户购买了3台棚用还田机，进行废弃辣椒秧还田试验，将其变成土地可以吸收的肥料。”李庄村党支部书记兼村委会主任李原原说。从集中回收处置到粉碎直接还田，姚王庄镇的创新实践，是唐山市推行的农业废弃物资源化合理利用的生动缩影。当地立足绿色农业发展理念，让秸秆等农业废弃物实现饲料化、肥料化、能源化、原料化和基料化利用。
五 | 截至目前，姚王庄镇已累计处理废弃辣椒秧3000多吨。采访过程中，张杰电话不断，频繁与芦台、迁安、海港经开区等地的营养土生产企业洽谈合作事宜。
六 | “将废弃辣椒秧深加工用于生产营养土，是下一步的工作重点。”张杰说，推动资源循环利用、助力绿色农业发展，他们一直在努力。
