After a few turns in the field, Levi finally felt that his feet were not so empty. I have touched the rice and wheat with my own hands, and the skin that has been pierced by the wheat mangs is slightly painful. This slight stimulation brought his spirit back to the real world. People are such creatures. Pain can make people feel that they are alive, while happiness always makes people feel illusory and ethereal.

After finally returning to the world, Levi had long forgotten his identity, and he shouted: "Old Wei, do you want to harvest with me?" ”

Wei Changrong laughed, "Save it, I have touched the barrel of a gun since I was a child, not a hoe." But I've seen the Hmong people in our area during the harvest, and they have to do a blessing dance before the fields. I beg God to give everyone a better harvest in the coming year. Otherwise, let me dance a section first, and then you can cut after the dance. ”

These words made many of the technicians involved in the harvest laugh, including young people from Shaanxi and other northwest regions, and he said with a smile: "Leader, we heard that our hometown in the northwest used to do the same. ”

Someone expressed support, and Wei Changrong nodded again and again, "Look at it!" Look! What is the Chinese nation, from the northwest to the southwest, when everyone faces the harvest, they must celebrate it first, expressing their happy expectations for a good harvest next year. ”

Levi didn't want to talk nonsense with Wei Changrong at all, he shouted with a smile on his face: "Okay, don't be blind BB." Comrades, get ready to work. ”

The clever secretary had found clothes suitable for working in the fields, and Levi didn't care if anyone was watching, and the staff were all men anyway. He took off his beautiful uniform and changed into dark blue overalls. As soon as everyone shouted, they began to work in the fields.

Wei Changrong is not a hypocritical person, since he doesn't know how to collect grain, he won't do it. Pulling Wei Zhen and Wei Kun, Wei Changrong asked, "Boy, tell me honestly." When did your father set up the project? ”

"Big brother, my father started the project four or five years ago. However, this project was not originally an agricultural project, it started from a military project. Wei Zhen explained. The main points of the ammonia synthesis project are high-temperature and high-pressure reactors, as well as high-temperature and high-pressure pipeline technology. These started with artillery steel at military-industrial complex. The chamber of the artillery had to withstand several thousand degrees of gunpowder gas and tremendous pressure, so that hundreds or thousands of kilograms of shells could be fired from thousands of meters away. So before Wei Ze secretly set up the project, no one could have imagined that this project would be so useful. When the technology of cannon steel has been broken through, the following problems will be carried out smoothly.

And good seeds are not difficult, what is difficult is the fertile soil that allows good seeds to grow smoothly. The price gap between good and bad land can be as much as 10 times because good land can maintain stable high yields. Therefore, the agricultural sector has invested heavily in the cultivation of improved seeds, and the seeds that are relatively resistant to not very good environments were selected before. There are many seeds that require high nutrients, but none of them are popular.

"Ammonia can be processed directly to produce nitric acid. Big brother, you also know how much nitric acid is needed for new gunpowder, right? Wei Kun asked Wei Changrong, who was born in the old army.

Of course, Wei Changrong knows that the new nitro hair pill is much better than the black pill, and the problem is that there are not so many nitrates. In addition, the traditional process of preparing nitric acid also requires a large amount of sulfuric acid, which is very expensive. In order to meet China's new bullets and shells, this money is spent on the old nose. Ammonia can be synthesized to directly produce nitric oxide, which is absorbed by water to form nitric acid. Although a certain amount of sulfuric acid is also used in the process for treatment, the demand is really one heaven and one underground compared to the previous technology.

"You just need to know the military industry. If you are not the one who should speak, you will not know anything. Got it? Wei Changrong whispered to his two younger brothers.

Wei Kun and Wei Zhen were stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again, and they lowered their voices and said, "Big brother, my father has repeatedly emphasized this matter. You can rest assured. ”

Seeing that the two younger brothers understood the matter, Wei Changrong continued to ask: "Then only the ...... is used on this piece of land?"

Wei Kun saw that his eldest brother didn't remember the noun at all, so he said: "In addition to synthetic ammonia, there are also potash fertilizers from North America, and phosphate fertilizers from the South China Sea, which is that guano." Now we are also importing guano in large quantities from South America, and these supplies are fine. ”

"Oh?" Wei Changrong became interested, and he smiled: "Co-author, our China is full of treasures." Where are those sites still so useful? ”

"And the harvester. However, this time everyone did not dare to use it, for fear that the loss of the harvester would affect the yield. Wei Zhen looked at the group of technicians and the prime minister of the country who were bending over and pouting their heads to harvest, and said his small opinion in a low voice.

Wei Changrong didn't know how to do farm work, and he didn't do farm work. After hearing this, he looked at Levi's who was slashing with his sickle and nodded repeatedly.

Harvesting is carried out on a per acre basis, which facilitates the counting of the harvest of different acres of land. Levi couldn't wait to finish harvesting all the grain, and he harvested one acre of land each, and he began to urge threshing.

Standing next to the newly bald and slightly chubby prime minister who was sweating profusely and wiping his head with a towel, Wei Changrong smiled: "I don't know how many catties I can collect." ”

"Cut! I don't know! Levi gave Wei Changrong, who was standing by and watching during the labor process, a roll of the eyes, "The grain calculation is calculated by bucket. Because of the drying, the weight of the grain is incalculable. Not to mention now, if the sun-dried grain is 800 catties, it has a lot of water in it after the harvest, and it is not uncommon to weigh more than 1,000 catties. Lao Wei, you are a very smart person, why did you say stupid things at this time? ”

This kind of criticism can't move Wei Changrong at all, Wei Changrong smiled: "I have been licking blood since I was a child, and I am different from a professional businessman like you. ”

"Phew! My family never bought or sold grain. Levi also teased with Wei Changrong.

The relaxed and pleasant conversation between the old comrades-in-arms and old men also made the atmosphere of the labor scene a lot easier.

At this point, everyone's attention is on the golden wheat and rice. The wheat and grains are carefully collected, and even the bran is carefully collected. After waiting for a while, the weighing began. Everyone held their breath, and there was only the sound of three decks of cards crackling.

Calculate, recalculate, calculate. Each of them counted three times. The final result came out, the weight of the freshly harvested wet grain exceeded 1,100 catties, and the yield per mu of completely dry grain was more than 800 catties according to the calculation of 30% moisture.

No one spoke, but what should have been a cheering scene was quiet. Suddenly, there was an agricultural technician in his forties who went limp, and he slowly bent down and sat down on the ground. Then a terrible cry came out of his mouth, "God! You've finally opened your eyes! The middle-aged man in his forties sat on the ground and began to cry.

A group of young people in their twenties on this side of the experimental field served the field with great dedication, and although the harvest was good, the first thing that everyone thought of was their own hard work, and the joy did not occur for the time being. However, the uncle in his forties cried a little bit, which made the young people dumbfounded. They look at me, I look at you, and their faces are full of surprise. Some people hurriedly went over to appease, but when people passed, they didn't know what to say.

Although Wei Changrong and Levi didn't know the technician, they glanced at each other, and they both saw some expressions of concern in each other's expressions. Young people in their twenties can probably be regarded as peers of the Min Dynasty, and after entering the era of the Min Dynasty, starvation to death is already a very shocking thing. Now a place says that because people die of hunger because they can't be nourished, the magistrate has to bear a big responsibility. But for a man in his forties, there are very few people in their first twenties who have never gone hungry. Moreover, the "Political Untouchability Law" of the Republic of China excluded those rulers of the old era from the core system of the Republic of China, so it can be said that everyone knows what it is like to not have enough to eat, and the psychological fear brought about by long-term hunger is deeply rooted in many actions. Of course, it is also His Majesty Weizer who will tell you about this state of mind and the operational impact of this state of mind.

Walking in front of the technician, Wei Changrong squatted down and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, "Brother, what's wrong?" Someone in your family used to have enough to eat...... Passed? ”

was touched to the sad place, the man grabbed Wei Changrong's hand, "Leader!" I have five brothers and sisters, four years of famine, four years of war, and I am the only one left with my parents, and I don't know if I am still alive or not. Looking at this grain, I know that I should be happy ......, but ...... But my heart is very blocked. There are only a few mouthfuls of grain left, if I can harvest such an extra acre of land, my family will not die so many people! Woohoo......"

The middle-aged man's cry made the young people no longer happy, and they had indeed heard too many such stories. But for as long as they can remember, life has been a lack of food at best. The direct link between eating and death is probably the accidental ingestion of something poisonous. But what they could feel was great sadness, the deep sadness that this terrible life had brought to their elders.

Wei Changrong didn't have to pull the middle-aged man up, he stood up and said to the group of young people: "Comrades, what I want to tell you is that this comrade has experienced a very miserable life. However, in that era, it was not simply that the yield of land was high, and everyone had a way to live. In the eyes of the Manchu government at that time, there were no people, and the people were only tools for them to extract wealth, and they were not regarded as human beings. The more food is produced, the more it will be deprived. There is a question of output, but more of a political issue that has nothing to do with output. ”
