Chapter 489: Hybrid Rice
Seeing this classic car, Ye Chen was wondering if he would be older than himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info dropped a lot of paint, not to mention, but also rusty all over the body, at first glance, like a leper dog.
The father of hybrid rice is a world-renowned agricultural expert and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, he is definitely not short of this money, and he actually drove a classic car, which really made Ye Chen unexpected. Ye Chen was a little puzzled, what did the old man think?
Look at others again, Yuan is also a classic car, and the old man's car is not much shabby.
These two people are really, driving such a classic car, they can actually come to the airport to pick up people, and they are not afraid of being laughed at.
Chen Wang, the younger generation, their cars are much better, although they are not expensive luxury cars, but they are not bad, three or two hundred thousand cars, which is very good.
Especially now, compared to two classic cars, this is a luxury car.
This was enough to surprise Ye Chen, and what surprised Ye Chen even more was that the father of hybrid rice sat directly in the driver's seat.
"Xiaoye, come up." The father of hybrid rice Chong Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen wiped the cold sweat, I'll sit with you, I don't want to die? Hurriedly said: "Old man, I can talk to Brother Chen, I will sit with him and ask some questions by the way." ”
"Xiao Ye, don't be reluctant to go far, I am his teacher, ask me directly if you have any questions." The father of hybrid rice was determined to let Ye Chen sit in the same car with him.
"Old man, do you have a driver's license?" Ye Chen couldn't make a plan and made another plan, so he asked directly.
"Yes." The father of hybrid rice replied very seriously.
"Old man, you are almost eighty years old, at such an old age, who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to issue you a driver's license?" Ye Chen didn't believe it.
As we all know, there is an age limit for a driver's license, which requires you to be under 70 years old. The old man is almost eighty, who dares to issue him a driver's license?
"The director of the Provincial Department of Transportation specially approved one." The old man said as a matter of course.
Ye Chen knelt down directly.
Zhuang Lao's driver's license was specially approved by the director of the Provincial Department of Transportation, and the driver's license of the father of hybrid rice was obtained in this way, Ye Chen had nothing to say, these are all cattle.
Pulling the car door, Ye Chen sat on the co-pilot.
"Let's go." The father of hybrid rice roared and slammed the accelerator, and a thick smoke came out from the back of the classic car, and it soared out like an arrow.
Ye Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Old man, slow down." ”
"Okay." The father of hybrid rice readily agreed, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the classic car drove even more happily.
Ye Chen was completely speechless, and said very eagerly: "Old man, can you slow down?" ”
"I'm already slow. Xiao Ye, let me tell you, I usually drive fast. If it weren't for my age, I would have gone to F4. "The father of hybrid rice looks very regretful.
Ye Chen rolled his eyes, you are about to be targeted by the traffic police, are you still slow?
This is also called slow, so what is fast?
Soon, Ye Chen found that the father of hybrid rice really didn't brag, his driving skills were really good, he drove it so well, and the classic car was in his hands, like an obedient baby, he couldn't help but put his mind at ease.
"Old man, you really don't have to say anything about your driving skills, it's amazing." Ye Chen was sincerely amazed.
"Do you need to talk about that? I won't say it all, if it weren't for my age, I would have gone to F4. The father of hybrid rice repeated.
Ye Chen is messy, how old are you? Still so joking, can you participate in F4? Your driving skills are good, but there is still a gap between you and F4.
"Old man, how many years have you been in this car? Why don't you change one? Ye Chen's gossip soul began to burn.
The technology has reached the level of the old man, not bad for the car money, he actually drove a classic car and did not change to a new car, Ye Chen really wanted to find out the inside story.
"Xiao Ye, let me tell you, I have witnessed great changes in our country in my life. I was born in the old society and grew up in the new society, and my life is a history of change in the Celestial Empire. Do you know? When I first started working in agricultural technology, I walked. At that time, the country was poor, and I was poor, and there was no way but to walk. Later, when the conditions were slightly better, I rode my bike. Later, when the conditions were better, I rode a motorcycle. Eventually, I drove. "The father of hybrid rice is full of memories.
The father of hybrid rice was born in the old society, when our country was mired in civil strife, warlords were fighting, and countless people died. The old man really showed his talent in the new society. His life course is really a rich history of the transformation of the Celestial Empire.
He has witnessed with his own eyes that our country has gone from civil war to reunification, from backwardness to modernization, and from poverty to prosperity.
"This car is the first car I bought in my life, and I have been driving it for more than ten years, and I am used to driving it, and I don't want to change it." The father of hybrid rice is full of affectionate Tao.
People have feelings. No matter what it is, as long as it is used for a long time, it will give birth to feelings and do not want to change it. Even if you know it, it's no longer useful.
The father of hybrid rice is such a person.
Ye Chen really didn't expect that the old man was still such an emotional person, and said with a smile: "Old man, this is a kind of feeling, and it can also be said to be a kind of persistence. Although our country has always attached great importance to agriculture, and our ancestors shouted the words of 'food for the people', agriculture is the most unpopular. There are not many people who are engaged in agricultural technology, not many can do it for a long time, and even fewer can do it for a lifetime. The old man can do agricultural technology for a lifetime, which has a lot to do with this dedication. ”
All dynasties have attached great importance to agriculture, built water conservancy, and vigorously supported agriculture.
However, people who are engaged in agriculture do not have a high social status and can be said to be the lowest level of existence. Not to mention that in ancient times, even in modern times, there were many people who looked down on people who did agricultural technology.
It is precisely because of this low social status that few people are willing to engage in agricultural technology.
Like the father of hybrid rice, there are really too few people who can persist in doing it for a lifetime.
Of course, it is rare to be able to achieve the achievement of the father of hybrid rice, looking at the history of the Celestial Empire for 5,000 years.
"Xiao Ye, what you said makes sense. What really made me want to pursue a career in agriculture was the three-year famine, when I ate grass roots, bark and soil, and at that time, I made up my mind to fight for more food production. After so many years of hard work, this wish can be said to have come true. The old man remembered the three-year famine he had personally experienced, and his eyes were full of tears.
The three-year famine was the rarest natural disaster since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and grain production was reduced across the country, and many people died of starvation. Moreover, the economic blockade of our country by Western countries, led by the United States, aggravated the disaster.
Ah San even took advantage of the great famine in our country to seize our southern Tibetan region.
At that time, there was a catastrophe at home and a group of foreign enemies were around, and the living environment of our country was particularly bad.
In order to overcome the great famine, our country paid a terrible price. Those who have experienced this history will still have lingering palpitations many years later.
Fortunately, through the efforts of the father of hybrid rice, the country's grain output has increased significantly, and there has never been a grain shortage again.
Bang Bang Bang!
Ye Chen's nose was pantothenic and he applauded involuntarily.
At this time, all language is pale, and only applause can express true feelings.
"Xiaoye, you know what? I almost became a pilot. "The father of hybrid rice didn't want to talk too much about such a heavy topic and changed the subject.
"Oh. It's true? "Ye Chen heard of it for the first time.
"Of course. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country built an air force and recruited pilots from all over the country, so I went to sign up. All the assessments and political trials have passed, but in the end, they still did not succeed. "The father of hybrid rice is very sorry.
"Why?" Ye Chen didn't quite understand.
After passing the assessment, there is no problem with the political examination, it stands to reason that the father of hybrid rice is a nail in the coffin when he becomes a pilot, why didn't he succeed?
"Because of the scarcity of talents in the country at that time, for college students, we wanted to be engaged in scientific research, not pilots. So, I didn't do it. The father of hybrid rice shook his head and regretted it.
"The country's decision-making is wise! If the old man had become a pilot, our country would have lost an outstanding agricultural expert, and now many people would have gone hungry. Ye Chen was very happy.
How great the contribution of the father of hybrid rice was, it is clear to those who know his deeds. If it were not for the old man to overcome the hybrid rice technology, our country's grain output would not have been raised, and the former prime minister would not have said that even if our country has no grain harvest, the grain stored by the state will be enough to eat for three years.
If it weren't for the father of hybrid rice, maybe the price of grain would be much more expensive now.
There will even be a famine.
"Xiaoye, you know what? I'm still sorry. When I was younger, I also wanted to soar in the blue sky. The old man looked up, but unfortunately, he didn't see the blue sky, but only the roof of the car.
is a man, he will have the dream of soaring into the blue sky, Ye Chen also has it, and he can understand the old man's mood very well.
The two talked and chatted, and soon left the city and went straight to the suburbs.
"Old man, are we going to the suburbs?" Ye Chen was a little surprised.
"yes. Now is the time when the experimental field is busy, and we eat and live in the experimental field. "The father of hybrid rice said.
"Then I can take a look at the super hybrid rice?" Ye Chen said with expectation.
Hybrid rice, who doesn't know about the people of the Celestial Empire? Isn't what we're eating now just hybrid rice?
However, super hybrid rice is still in the experimental stage, and there is still a certain distance from popularization. The old man has been working hard to overcome this technology in his lifetime and make outstanding contributions to our country again.
Ye Chen came over this time for the super hybrid rice. Take a look at the super hybrid rice for the first time, this is exactly what Ye Chen hopes for the most.
"A must." The father of hybrid rice nodded.
Soon, I came to the experimental field.
There are hundreds of acres in the experimental field, Ye Chen took a look from afar, and saw that the rice was growing gratifyingly, much better than the rice in the farmland.
"Old man, this is super hybrid rice?" Ye Chen's eyes widened, and he was very surprised.
Ye Chen is also a farmer, he is no stranger to rice, he has seen a lot of rice that grows well, but he has never seen rice that grows so well.
"No, it's hybrid rice." The old man replied.
"Hybrid rice? Does hybrid rice grow so well? Ye Chen was very surprised, his face was full of shock, and he couldn't believe it.
"Xiaoye, the experimental field and the farmland are different." The Father of Hybrid Rice.
What's the difference? A lot of people think so.
