Chapter 610: An Invention That Changed the Times
Song Shiyue looked at the large rice grains in her palm, and half-believingly peeled them off, the golden rice husk was extremely soft, like the husk of a lychee.
Underneath the rice husk is a milky white translucent film, which is torn open to create a white "rice grain". Round and full, smooth and moist to the touch, like a lotus seed carved from the finest jade, it also exudes a pleasant fragrance.
"It's so beautiful, I don't know how it tastes!"
She muttered, tried to open her pink lips and took a bite gently, chewing a few times at will, only to feel indescribably smooth, delicate, and refreshing, and the sweet and fragrant juice flowed between her teeth and cheeks, which was even more delicious than fresh and crisp fine lotus rice.
The beautiful reporter's eyes suddenly lit up, and she directly threw the whole "rice grain" into her mouth, and then hurriedly peeled the second one, and stuffed it into her mouth regardless of it, and the image of the lady had already been thrown aside.
The reactions of the people around them were all the same, and they quickly peeled the rice grains in their hands one by one, as if they had been hungry for a month.
“…… It's so delicious, I've never tasted anything like this!"
"I never thought that 'rice' would be so delicious, why didn't I experience it before?"
"Come on, you used to eat rice, and now you eat Muhe, there is no comparison between the two at all!"
"That's what I said, after eating this, I don't think I can eat ordinary rice at all in the future, compared to Mu He, that thing is simply pig food!"
"Isn't this simple? Anyway, now that Mu He has come out, if you want to eat it in the future, you can buy it from Goddess Lan, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive, anyway, your family is not bad for money." ”
"That's what I said......"
Zhao Xinglan looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction, she was also surprised when she tasted this thing for the first time, the mother emperor fully took into account the taste preferences of the mainstream Chinese people when designing the gene template, and took extra care in this regard, so it was able to produce such a good effect.
Although the final birth of this kind of wood grass belongs to the terrestrial plant, but it is not taboo to soak in seawater, on the contrary, its developed root system has been specially modified, with the root characteristics of some fruit trees, which can fully absorb various nutrients and minerals in the soil and seawater, and will not cause the fertility of the soil to decline and deplete, is a new high-value crop that combines the advantages of rice and fruit trees.
Moreover, its genes have been specially optimized, it is not afraid of all pests and diseases, and it grows rapidly, and the wood quality is extremely good, no less than precious wood such as nanmu and oak. While providing a large amount of food, its wood also has a wide range of uses. When planted in a large area, it has an obvious effect on the greening and protection of the environment.
Therefore, this is a plant that is almost perfect in all aspects, which can not only solve the food problem of more than one billion people once and for all, but also purify the air and water sources, and significantly improve the living environment of the north and south of the great rivers of China.
"Xinglan, can this kind of wood grass be planted on a large scale now? What is the cost of promotion? Is the yield stable? Are there any unacceptable defects?" Li Cangyun finally calmed down and asked these key questions.
No matter how good it is, if the cost is too high, the growth and maintenance is not easy, or there are other major defects, it will definitely not meet the promotion requirements.
For example, the yield per mu of hybrid rice is much higher than that of traditional ordinary rice, but the taste of the rice is much inferior. Putting aside the previous situation, the Chinese people, whose living conditions are gradually improving, are still more willing to choose the traditional rice, even if the price is more expensive.
Of course, the taste of this Muhe rice has conquered everyone present, so this problem naturally does not exist.
Zhao Xinglan explained: "I have solved all possible hidden dangers and defects, and as long as the state is willing to support it, it can be planted and popularized in the coastal areas of the whole country immediately! This type of plant, which has a relatively large demand for seawater, has a yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu and matures once a year." ”
"In addition, there is an ordinary plant type, which does not require seawater and can grow in ordinary land farmland, with a yield of 3,500 kilograms per mu and matures once a year......"
At present, the yield of the best hybrid rice in China is more than 700 kilograms, and the two crops a year add up to more than 1,500 kilograms. The yield per mu of different varieties of rice is not the same, and the rice varieties planted in the north and south of China are not the same because of factors such as climate and soil, and the difference in yield per mu is relatively large, and the highest record in the world so far is 1537.78 kg per mu per year.
One thing to note is that this is only the data in the experimental field, and the hybrid rice planted on a large scale is basically not up to this number, and the annual yield of about 1000 kg per mu is a relatively common level.
Therefore, as long as one-third of the country's arable land is planted with these two kinds of Kunlun wood, it can reach and exceed the total annual grain output of Huaguo.
As everyone knows, China has been reduced to a pure grain importer many years ago, and it spends a large amount of foreign exchange to import grain from abroad every year, which has directly pushed up the increase in international grain prices year after year and has caused serious hidden dangers to national security. If Kunlun can be planted on a large scale, this problem will be solved once and for all.
"It seems that this is really a good thing," Xie Xuan muttered, "Two days later, I will go to the imperial capital with you to meet those bigwigs, and strive to get this matter done as soon as possible!"
Yun Feiyang asked curiously: "Is there any difference between these two kinds of Kunlun wood grass? Once a large area of cultivation begins, how will the market price be determined?"
Zhao Xinglan smiled: "The aquatic type belongs to luxury, because its nutrient content is about ten times higher than the best quality Jingpo Lake Xiangshui rice and Yudong embryo rice on the market, and long-term use has a very significant effect on the optimization of people's physique, I plan to set its price at 100 yuan per kilogram!"
"The terrestrial type is a popular product, and the nutrient content is about twice that of Yudong embryo rice, and the market price can be set at about 15 yuan per kilogram. ”
Everyone present suddenly changed their faces, Xiangshui rice and Yudong embryo rice, which are the top high-quality rice in China, and only a few rich people and high-ranking officials could afford to eat it in the past, and it is a veritable luxury in food.
If this Kunlun Muhe is really popularized throughout the country, ordinary people and even the whole country will enjoy great benefits.
Just think about it, the next generation of Chinese who grew up eating this kind of food all have an excellent physique comparable to that of pilots, what kind of concept is that? What kind of terrible competitive advantage will it form against other countries in the world?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a great invention that will change the times!
"If I were the president of the United States, I would kill you at all costs now!" Silent Liuyun made a rare joke with a neck-cutting gesture at her.
Zhao Xinglan smiled indifferently, with the hole cards she has now, the elite agents of the entire United States may not be able to threaten her own safety when they are united.
