Chapter 512: First Encounter with the Father of Hybrid Rice (2/2)

Qi Zheng just watched coldly, so that the forces at home and abroad who were peeking at Xianming rice were shocked.

Anyone who cares knows that Xianming rice is only suitable for growing within the scope of Nankai City.

But Jiagu's understatement of "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" let everyone, including local farmers, know that in the land of Nankai City, Jiagu's control over Xianming rice is indestructible.

There is nothing more painful in the world than this, you know that there is good things there, but you can only watch them fall into the hands of others.

Who will vomit blood, who will catch the blind, has his own experience.

The market for Xianming rice and Jiagu milk is still hot, and the covetousness of outsiders is still unabated, but Qi Zheng has put all these disturbances aside for the time being.

Because, an old man he had admired for a long time took the initiative to visit - the father of hybrid rice, Mr. Yuan, came to the headquarters of Jiagu and welcomed him personally.

One focuses on agricultural scientific research, the other focuses on the agricultural industry, and has a huge influence in the field of agriculture.

No one is surprised that Qi Zheng respects Mr. Yuan, but Mr. Yuan looks at the young Qi Zheng, and he also has a kind of admiration for "state-owned talents" in his heart.

He believes that he has only made some achievements in rice hybrid breeding, but Qi Zheng has explored a way out and direction that can be said to be more in line with the future of China's agriculture in the development of agricultural industrialization, which is of great significance to the country and the people.

As an "old farmer", Mr. Yuan is the most aware of the difficulties encountered and the time required for the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture in China.

On the one hand, there is a huge market, and the degree of organization of industrial processing is relatively high, and on the other hand, there is a relatively backward agricultural planting and breeding model...... How to combine the large market with the production of agricultural products on a "small" scale does not mean that the cultivation of high-yielding varieties can be solved.

Mr. Yuan paid attention to the lag in Jiagu's time, but it did not prevent him from appreciating Jiagu - unlike the domestic cooperative model that is only superficial, Jiagu began to realize the real agricultural specialization and factory production, so that growers can provide high-quality agricultural products through unified seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, facilities and other technologies, and successfully integrate with the market.

Of course, Kaya's luck is also quite good – luck is essential for researchers. Didn't he also "encounter" a wild rice plant to make a breakthrough in hybrid rice?

"Sky-high rice" Xianming rice, more environmentally adaptable golden sunflower rice and silk miao rice, "simplified" rice flower rice, "Jia Indica No. 1" ...... Although he himself is committed to improving rice yields, he has no resentment to Jiagu's selection of rice varieties with better taste and higher added value.

Even, he came this time to "rub" Jiagu's good luck.

......

And Qi Zheng looked at the old man in front of him who was wearing an ordinary plaid half-sleeved shirt, with dark skin and a thin figure, and at first glance he looked like an old man who had been in the field for many years and had been exposed to the wind and sun, and there was only admiration left in his heart.

This scientist, who looks like an old farmer, can be called a contemporary Shennong. It is precisely because of his great research that China's 1.3 billion people finally have enough to eat.

Speaking of which, the most "close" "contact" between him and Mr. Yuan before was probably the debate on the Internet to defend Mr. Yuan in his previous life.

At that time, Mr. Yuan bought two mobile phones, touched a luxury car, and owned a villa...... were maliciously slandered by trolls.

How could Qi Zheng see the old man he admired being maliciously attacked in this way? He immediately stood up and supported it! His remark on the Internet, "Mr. Yuan, your biggest mistake is to feed a group of white-eyed wolves too much," won a round of applause.

In this life, he finally had the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with this old man.

"Elder Yuan, it should be me who went to visit you, but I haven't been able to find a chance. Qi Zheng said softly.

Mr. Yuan waved his hand: "We don't engage in these vain heads, Qi Dong ......"

"Elder Yuan, you can just call me Xiao Qi. Qi Zheng interjected.

To be honest, Qi Zheng really hasn't been called Xiao Qi for some days, but in front of Mr. Yuan, he honestly bowed his head and called himself "Xiao Qi".

Old Mr. Yuan laughed, and then changed his words: "Okay, then Xiao Qi, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

You say. ”

"You should know that I have been tackling the goal of 900 kilograms per mu in the large-scale demonstration of the third phase of super hybrid rice in recent years, and I hope to achieve ...... in these two years."

Actually, you can do it this year-Qi Zheng answered in his heart.

Recalling the memory of Mr. Yuan, it was in this year's third phase of the super hybrid rice target that he reached a yield of 926.6 kg per mu, marking the realization of the third phase of China's super hybrid rice target.

"In addition to super hybrid rice, I have recently paid attention to seawater rice, which I think is a very valuable rice germplasm resource with high scientific research and utilization value......

Seawater rice? Qi Zheng was stunned.

I have the impression that Mr. Yuan should have noticed seawater rice a few years later, and then made it a key research object, right?

Seeing that Qi Zheng seemed to be a little puzzled, Mr. Yuan couldn't help but explain: "Seawater rice is actually just a figurative name, and its essence is saline-alkali tolerant rice, which can grow and even bear fruit and reproduce in harsh saline-alkali land. ”

"Although there is still a lot of fertile land that has not been cultivated, there may not be many people who will plant saline-alkali land in poor conditions. But as a study, it is definitely necessary, if we don't have enough food to eat one day, we can plant it in any place we choose. ”

Qi Zheng knew, but he didn't explain, just nodded silently.

Mr. Yuan said with a sense of neutrality: "Whether it is super hybrid rice or seawater rice, I think it is necessary to combine conventional breeding with biotechnology. Taking seawater rice as an example, it is necessary to continuously explore the saline-alkali tolerance genes of rice and transfer them to indica-japonica high-yield hybrid rice, especially the third-generation hybrid rice. ”

"And I saw the detailed information of Jiagu's 'high-energy growth factor' at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which said that it has the effect of promoting the stability of biological genes, and I was really happy to see the hunt, so I ran over to disturb Xiao Qi...... "Mr. Yuan explained his intention with some embarrassment.

Qi Zheng suddenly realized, and then felt a little sad.

is 81 years old, and it stands to reason that such an old man has achieved so many achievements, and he can live for a long time, or blow the air conditioner in the air-conditioned room and direct others to do it.

But he said that rice cannot be grown in the computer. Then I endured mosquito bites and scorching heat for 60 years, and went to the fields to do research myself.

But the pursuit of the old man is to keep everyone away from hunger.

Even after learning that "high-energy growth factors" are helpful for rice breeding research, he did not hesitate to come to Jiagu in person to "ask for help", but he was embarrassed because of its preciousness.

How many people can do it, obviously lie down comfortably to win, but still have to work hard for other people's lives?

How many people can still face the loess with their backs to the sky and persist in the stars and moons when they are in their 80s, but they are just worried about other people's food and clothing?

Of course, it is no problem to provide it with "high-energy growth factors", but Qi Zheng knows that what really plays a big role in breeding is to rely on "open hanging" array.

Do you want to help Mr. Yuan?

When he saw the old man's slightly flushed face, Qi Zheng made a decision in his heart.

What he saw was not an old man who had gone through hardships and finally enjoyed the honor. It's a person, a lifetime, focused on the great power of doing one thing.

Just as Zweig wrote in "When the Stars of Mankind Shine": Only one genius can be born out of millions of people in a nation, and millions of idle hours in the world have passed before a truly historical moment, the hour of human starry.

Decades of persistence, so much criticism, slander, and slander have not been able to slow him down, Mr. Yuan is probably just the survival of our nation.

In the face of such a great scientist, why should he give someone a boost?

He is not only willing to help him, but also willing to open up more resources for him: "Yuan Lao, I don't dare to say that 'high-energy growth factors' have everything, but it is no problem to provide some for you to study." Moreover, there are many achievements in our laboratory that may be of some help to your research, such as 'eating salt and pasture'......"

Visible to the naked eye, Mr. Yuan's eyes lit up!
