Chapter Ninety-Eight: Planting Base
The consequences of the big fight did not exceed Li Lei's expectations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he taught those people in the black shop a hard lesson, the other party opened his teeth and claws, full of threats, and wanted to eat him at that time. For the next few days, no one came to look for trouble.
Even, when he made a phone call and sent a car from the planting base to pick him up, Li Lei specially asked to go to the hotel.
I haven't seen it for a few days, and the whole hotel has been newly decorated, and the fat boss is guarding the door, smiling like a flower, as if he has long forgotten the previous incident.
"Really, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard!"
Seeing this scene, Li Lei suddenly lost interest, greeted him, and went to the planting base.
The entire base belongs to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and is built near the coastline, covering an area of 100,000 acres.
Not only corn is grown in the base, but also wheat, rice, sorghum and other crops. Basically all the crops that are commonly found on the market are available here.
Not only that, but the base is also home to some of the country's top agricultural experts, all of whom are well-known in their fields of research.
The corn planting base is located in the southeast corner, facing the sea on one side, and the scenery is unique. If agriculture is not developed, there is no problem in building tourist areas.
In fact, the whole province of Nanhai is a huge tourist island, and if it weren't for its bad reputation over the years, it would have been overcrowded with tourists, but even so, it would still be able to receive millions of tourists every year.
"Hello, Professor."
After getting out of the car and seeing Professor Zhou waiting nearby, Li Lei hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Professor Zhou.
"Li Lei, welcome to the planting base of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Come, let me introduce you first. Professor Zhou looked at Li Lei and couldn't help but appreciate it more and more.
"My student Zhang Qing."
"Liu Lianbo, director of the base."
“……”
After introducing the others, Professor Zhou finally pointed to himself: "Zhou Huaiyu, temporarily in charge of the corn project." ”
"You are Professor Zhou?"
Li Lei was stunned, and there was more admiration in his expression: "I have recently consulted many papers on corn varieties, and the first author of most of them is named Zhou Huaiyu, it should be you, right?" ”
"Hehe, compared to your contributions, my papers are really meaningless."
Professor Zhou was full of modesty, "Li Lei, after receiving your call, I have already cleaned up your accommodation." In this way, you have worked hard from afar, so let's rest for two days first, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”
Li Lei scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Professor, I've actually been here for three days, and I've been traveling everywhere before. ”
"Huh? Okay, put down your luggage first, and I'll take you to the test field later. ”
"No problem."
The living conditions of the planting base are naturally not comparable with those in the city, but they are not bad, at least there is no worry about eating and drinking, there is no shortage of electricity, and there is air conditioning in the room.
Otherwise, living in such a hot place, Li Lei must be extremely unaccustomed to it when he first arrives.
Put away the luggage and instructed Ai Li and the two to move freely, and Li Lei followed Zhou Huaiyu to the test field.
"You see, what is planted here is the good corn seed you have cultivated."
Professor Zhou pointed to the corn field in front of him and said with admiration: "After preliminary analysis, we have basically determined that the quality of these improved varieties is extremely good, not only fast maturity, but also high taste and nutrition. I have already applied to the Ministry of Agriculture, and when this batch is mature, they will send experts over. Once you pass the acceptance and get the business promotion certificate, you can carry out scale promotion. ”
Li Lei said gratefully: "Thank you, Professor Zhou." ”
"Nothing. I've studied corn varieties all my life, and I'm even happier than you are to find a seed that is suitable for growing in the field. ”
Professor Zhou waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Then, he took Li Lei to the most marginal test field, "Li Lei, look at this test field, how much is the production capacity per mu?" ”
Hearing this, Li Lei looked at it and suddenly looked surprised, "These corn varieties, judging from their growth and plants, the yield per mu is definitely not low, and there should be two thousand catties, right?" ”
"The maximum yield is 2,100 catties, which is slightly worse than the original seed you cultivated."
Professor Zhou looked at the corn seedlings as if he were looking at a beloved child.
"Two thousand three hundred catties, this mu yield, we can only get close, and we can't reach it for the time being. When the yield per mu reaches a certain level, it is difficult to increase it by 100 catties. What's more valuable is that the maturity period of the corn varieties you have cultivated is particularly short, which directly solves the problem of field planting. ”
Professor Zhou said with emotion. "Li Lei, I won't hide it from you, we are now considering crossbreeding two kinds of corn. Based on my many years of experience, the yield of corn per mu is likely to exceed 2,300, and it is suitable for field planting. ”
"Huh?"
Li Lei was shocked in his heart, this is not good news for him, if it really reaches 2,300 catties, the sale of ordinary grade corn seeds will be stopped, and the loss will definitely be great.
Of course, it would be perfect if it was on par with the good breeds sold by the system. At that time, maybe the system will continue to reduce the price, and the profit will only be greater.
Clearly, the key question is what the results will be.
Seeing that Li Lei was stunned, Professor Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If the planting is successful, Li Lei, this is all your credit." At that time, the country will definitely vigorously promote it, and your name will be the same as Professor Yuan, entering thousands of households and resounding throughout the country. ”
"Forget it! I want to live in peace right now. ”
Thinking of the days when he was interviewed some time ago, Li Lei felt extremely depressed.
"Haha."
Professor Zhou laughed and pulled Li Lei to continue walking: "The Nanhai base is the largest breeding ground of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and basically there are high-yield experimental varieties that can be seen in China. You are now an agricultural expert, and if you want, you can choose a piece of land for experiments. ”
Li Lei's heart moved when he heard this, and he said unceremoniously: "Professor, I need an acre of land and all kinds of corn seeds." ”
The conditions here are unique, and it is indeed very suitable for the study of good breeds.
Although Li Lei has a systematic farm, which can supply an unlimited supply of ordinary grade seeds, if there is no planting base, there is really no way to explain the source of the improved seeds.
Therefore, if a variety with an extremely close yield per mu can be cultivated in time, even if there are doubts in the future, he will be able to give a reasonable explanation.
"No problem. There are still more than two months left before the Chinese New Year, which is enough for you to carry out early cultivation. ”
After taking a turn in the planting base, Li Lei and Professor Zhou returned side by side.
In the evening, everyone specially held a reception banquet for Li Lei's arrival. It was only at this time that Li Lei found that there were quite a few experts and scholars here, more than two hundred.
The next day, Li Lei specially purchased some ordinary grade seeds, and asked Professor Zhou for more than 10 kinds of high-yield corn seeds, which were completely mixed and planted.
Time passed, he served corn during the day, and discussed with Professor Zhou and them at night, and his life was extremely fulfilling.
In a blink of an eye, the second-generation seeds reached the harvest date, and after weighing, the yield per mu exceeded 1,700 catties.
Li Lei was somewhat dissatisfied with this yield per mu, but Professor Zhou and the others were very excited, and held a celebration party that night.
At the same time, news quickly spread out of Nanhai Province and entered the imperial capital of China.
