Chapter 547: Firefighters
Ordinary rice germination time is so fast, fast beyond everyone's imagination, originally thought that it would take three or two days to germinate, but what I didn't expect is that it only took one day to germinate and unearthed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's normal to think about it, after all, this is the improved soil, no longer the original soil, the soil is strong, that is, super rice can germinate in three days, and it is reasonable for ordinary rice to hurry up.
However, ordinary rice has changed, it is stronger, greener, and it seems to be a pleasure, although it is not as good as super rice. However, it is significantly much better than the previous ordinary rice.
"This incident is enough to show that soil improvement has a great impact on ordinary rice, and if our country's cultivated land is comprehensively improved, then the quality of our country's grain production will be raised to a higher level." The father of hybrid rice immediately came to a conclusion.
"Old man, wouldn't it be too early to draw conclusions now?" Ye Chen didn't believe it.
"yes." Everyone also agreed with Ye Chen's questioning.
After all, it has only sprouted and unearthed now, and there is still a long way to go, and follow-up research is needed to draw conclusions.
"I don't dare to say that my conclusion is necessarily correct, but it is not far from ten. Believe me, my experience is still useful. The father of hybrid rice said with confidence: "When it comes to other things, I may not dare to say, but when it comes to ordinary rice, I really have confidence." ”
He has been engaged in rice research all his life, and he is a world-class authority in this area, and the United Nations will hire him as a consultant back then, which shows how powerful he is. Seeing that he was so confident, Ye Chen and the others couldn't help but believe it.
"Old man, even if what you say is true, it is impossible to improve the cultivated land of the whole country. It's a huge amount of work, and too many meteorites are needed. Ye Chen stroked his forehead, dizzy for a while, the old man really dared to think about it.
There is so much arable land in the country, and the amount of meteorites needed is unimaginable. Not to mention, there is such a huge project, not to mention doing it, just thinking about it is a headache.
Zhuang Lao Xugong and they agreed with this very much.
"Xiaoye, didn't you say you were going to mine asteroids? How can we not consider such a major matter that benefits the country and the people? "The father of hybrid rice kicked the ball to Ye Chen.
Our country is mining asteroids, but asteroid mining is not easy. It is unimaginable that so many meteorites will be needed to meet the needs of the country's cultivated land improvement, and our country will not be able to meet the requirements in any short period of time.
Ye Chen was speechless, the old man really knew how to play football.
What happened next made Ye Chen more confident. All 100 ordinary rice sprouts and is unearthed, and it looks green, very soft, and very comfortable.
"This has proved that the old man's judgment is correct, and we are more confident." Ye Chen: They were very convinced.
After a few more days, the super rice sprouted and was unearthed, and like the first batch, it was so cute that to look at it was to enjoy it.
After testing the soil quality, the impact is not large.
"I was inspired by the cultivation of ordinary rice, and I thought we should improve another experimental field. This time, we used one-tenth of the amount of meteorite to test the effect on ordinary rice. The father of hybrid rice proposed.
"Yes." Ye Chen: They had no objections.
Even if one-tenth of the amount is used, the improvement of the existing land should be obvious. Although it does not meet the requirements for growing super rice, it should be possible to grow ordinary rice. If this experiment is successful, it will be very useful. If our country's asteroid mining program is a great success, and if we get a large number of meteorites, we can spread it to the whole country, and the impact on our country will definitely not be small.
Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research in this area now and accumulate data.
After deciding, Ye Chen and the others began to act. It was not difficult to transform an experimental field, let alone a weakened improvement, which was completed in only two days. The reason why it was completed so quickly was because of the experience of improvement.
After the completion of the test, it was found that it was better than the best field available, and everyone was full of expectations.
This was followed by the planting of ordinary rice.
This time, it took a lot longer to germinate, and it took four days to sprout and unearth. Even so, it is very amazing, how can an ordinary field be so fast, which shows that the improvement is successful.
The unearthed rice is green and oily, and it looks good, but it does not grow well on the genuine version, and there is a gap in color. It is much better than rice grown on ordinary land.
Even so, it makes everyone happy, which is a good direction. If the number of meteorites is limited and cannot be improved into the genuine version, it is not bad to have a weakened version.
While the crowd was rejoicing, the chief called.
"Xiaoye, hello." The chief smiled and greeted Ye Chen.
"Hello chief." Ye Chen greeted.
"Xiaoye, how is your research progressing?" The chief asked with concern.
Ye Chen told the research situation.
"Really?" The chief's face was amazed.
Ye Chen: The progress they have made is very good, some beyond imagination, and the chief really can't believe it.
"Of course it's true. Chief, you look at the data. "Ye Chenxin said you don't believe it, right? Well, let the data do the talking.
After receiving the data, the chief read it carefully and carefully, and was very happy: "Great! That's great! ”
The chief used two "great" in a row to express his good mood, and there are not many such things, which shows how good the chief's mood is.
"Xiao Ye, your research has made great progress, this is good news, I am very happy. Keep up your efforts and carry on this matter, for this is a great matter for the benefit of the country and the people. The chief encouraged Ye Chen.
"Thank you, Chief." Ye Chen was full of joy.
"Your work needs to be adjusted, though." The chief changed his words.
"Adjustments?" Ye Chen was a little surprised, didn't he say that he would mainly study super rice?
"Yes, adjustments." The chief affirmed and explained: "Xiaoye, originally according to my meaning, your first task is to do a good job in the super rice thing. Now, the research is going well, key breakthroughs have been made, and you can continue without you. You are so amazing, you are the 'firefighter' of our country's scientific and technological undertakings, you have to shine well, and you can't nest in one place. ”
The term "firefighter" in the science and technology industry is really apt. Wherever Ye Chen goes, he will be able to make a major breakthrough.
Super Rice has made a key breakthrough, and it is no longer useful for Ye Chen to stay here, it is better to transfer this firefighter to another place, and he can play his role better.
"So where do I go?" It makes sense for Ye Chen to think about it.
He has a bunch of things to do now, Super Rice has broken through, and it's time for him to do something else.
"To develop new fuels." The chief said.
"A new type of fuel?" Ye Chen asked.
"That's right. The new rocket has a lot to do with the lunar development program, and it has a lot to do with the asteroid mining program. However, the new rocket is subject to the new fuel, and you can join in this matter. The chief explained: "In the past, our country planned to mine asteroids to mine rare minerals on them. Now, there is another use, which is to improve the soil. ”
Our country is at the forefront of the world in asteroid mining and is complementary to the lunar development program. Previously, asteroids were mined to obtain rare minerals on asteroids. Now, the improvement of the soil requires the use of outer space materials, which gives the asteroid another use.
"Super rice can be cultivated and is also the food of higher levels of life, so once humans evolve to a higher level, they must promote super rice on a large scale. Moreover, there is a complete food chain for species on earth, and we must not only evolve rice, but also other major species, such as wheat, sorghum, beans, corn, and so on. As these foods evolve, they may also need improved soil to grow. Now, then, we need to prepare for this. To do this, it is necessary to first break through new fuels. The chief said with a serious face.
"The chief is wise." Ye Chen had to admire, the chief saw far and thought through, and now he was laying out.
Once humans have evolved to a higher level, they need a higher level of food, and super rice must be sown on a large scale, which requires large-scale soil modification.
Moreover, human food is not only rice, but also wheat, sorghum, beans, corn, and a variety of vegetables. After these evolutions, it is likely that the soil will also need to be improved in order to grow.
Although it is not yet possible to draw conclusions, the case of super rice can be used as a reference.
Large-scale soil improvement is inevitable, which requires a lot of meteorites, and the asteroid mining plan must be accelerated. If you want to speed up the asteroid program, you have to have new rockets, and if you want new rockets, you have to have new fuels.
Fuel is fundamental, don't think about anything if you don't solve the fuel.
"Okay." Ye Chen agreed with this statement.
"Good. I will arrange for them to come to Toyosu to find you as soon as possible. The chief smiled with satisfaction.
He was really a little worried that Ye Chen would not agree. Ye Chen agreed, new fuels can be expected, new rockets can be expected, this is a great thing, and it is worth rejoicing.
After talking for a while, the chief hung up.
After ending the call, Ye Chen said what the chief meant, and the father of hybrid rice was very sorry: "Xiao Ye, it's a pity that you left the team like this." ”
"yes." Chen Wang: They are also reluctant.
Just broke through the key, Ye Chen was about to leave the team, which was really regrettable. If Ye Chen is here and with Ye Chen's help, I believe the progress will be faster.
"Actually, you should be happy. As your research progresses, the demand for meteorites increases, and if Xiaoye's mission is completed, we will no longer have to be affected by the lack of meteorites. XCMG said with a smile.
He will definitely participate in Ye Chen's next work, and the manufacture of new rockets is inseparable from him, he has already received information and knows what Ye Chen is going to do.
"Really? That would be great. "Although the father of hybrid rice is of high rank and he has no access to new fuels, he believes in XCMG.
Before the arrival of the fuel R&D team, Ye Chen could also shine here for a while, ready to do some research. At this moment, Chief Qianshi came to find Ye Chen.
"Xiao Ye, Hangfa is going to test the car, will you go?" Chief Cadre asked.
