149. Since ancient times, there have been many rice sorghum insufficiencies
Volume 3, Frost Sky Dawn Corner
Sun Yuanqi can't be sure whether this Song Jiaoren is the one in the history books, but he is not afraid to speculate on Chen Qiansheng with the worst thoughts: I'm afraid that he is the dark line of the Japanese Zhihui in the Yamn, and now he is ready to gradually infiltrate in order to cause trouble in the future, Song Jiaoren is a key part of it, right?
But it doesn't matter, even a warlord like Yan Laoxi can be sent to Japan, so he can naturally take care of this future party leader. [Hehe, if you want to say that the grandfather is still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, the prime minister is just a seven or eight-year-old Xiao Zhengtai, right? Why don't you go to Hunan and Jiangsu for a great Zhengtai cultivation plan?
Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi had a weird smile on his face, and he saw a cool breath on Chen Qiansheng's back on the side: "Brother Baixi, you-"
Sun Yuanqi hurriedly cleaned up the mess of thoughts, and his face turned whole: "The people recommended by Zhongfu are all rare talents. Now that all provinces across the country are preparing to build a school of law and politics, we must start first and contact these three immediately. The annual salaries of the two doctors start from two thousand taels of silver, and they can guarantee the dismissal of the fifth or sixth rank; As for Song Dunchu, it's just one thousand taels."
Chen Qiansheng responded to the invitation and went to write the invitation letter.
As expected, Song Jiaoren almost immediately agreed to the solicitation of the Fazheng School, without the slightest shirk, which made Sun Yuanqi wonder if Chen Qiansheng had already passed his voice. As for the two doctors, Chen Jintao and Wang Chonghui, perhaps for the sake of alumni, they both agreed. This made Sun Yuanqi overjoyed.
Zhang Zhidng heard that the Methodology School invited two high-level talents, and he was also overjoyed, and he no longer cried poor like he did last time when the craft school was reformed, and generously allocated 20,000 taels of silver and the first idle house.
When these three teachers arrived in Wuchang, because Chen Jintao was the oldest, he was appointed as the general office of the school, Wang Chonghui was the assistant, and Song Jiaoren was the assistant. The school only has these three teachers naturally not enough, Sun Yuanqi asked Liang Dingfen to help, "recommended" a few literature and history teachers, plus mathematics, physics and chemistry teachers from Jingshi University, the school's teachers are basically small.
As for recruiting students, there is no hurry, after all, there are no suitable teaching materials or teaching plans at the moment, so we can only let the teacher enter the corner first and prepare for a period of time. When summoning all the teachers of the school, Sun Yuan took precautions and set the tone for the future teaching of the school: "Since it is called the Law and Politics School, teaching students law and politics naturally involves various sensitive issues, so you don't have to make a fuss. [However, a hundred flowers can bloom in school, and you must stand out when you go out of school. That is, students should not be allowed to take the content of the class to the outside school for discussion so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion. ”
The rest of the things don't need Sun Yuanxin. Yale graduates have always liked to start schools, such as Princeton University, Cornell University, John? Hopkins University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, etc., the founders or first presidents were all Yale students. Thinking about Chen Jintao and Wang Chonghui are no exception. There is every reason to believe that a leading domestic school of law and politics will be born in their hands.
After finishing the Fazheng School, Sun Yuanqi extended his claws to the Hubei Higher Agricultural School, which had just been renamed a few months ago.
With the establishment of Lilith's Bloomage Flour Mill, Sun Yuanqi has realized that Hubei is not only a large area for growing rice, but also rich in wheat. However, because of backward agricultural technology, the vast majority of places are harvested by cattle cultivators, relying on the weather for food, even if the wind and rain are smooth, the yield of wheat per mu is only 200 catties, and if there is a little more rice, it is difficult to exceed 300 catties. You must know that in later generations, the average yield of wheat per mu was more than 600 catties, and as for rice, it was more than 1,000 catties
In Sun Yuanqi's view, there are two key reasons for such a huge disparity in yields: the first is the application of chemical Fi, and the second is crop breeding. Vera has been experimenting with the application of chemical fi for a long time, and the technical school will also switch to the research of synthetic ammonia in the future, so chemical fi will no longer be a problem in the future. The next step is crop breeding.
In China's traditional farming life, most crops rely on their own seeds, and they choose the ones with full seeds, high yield and disease resistance. In order to adapt to different geographical environments, after countless generations of efforts, the differences in varieties in various places are very obvious, and their respective yields have reached a fairly stable state, and it is difficult to change abruptly. To change this, advanced science must be used to breed entirely new varieties to increase crop yields. Fortunately, although the intellectual youth of the 21st century may not have seen what wheat and rice look like, they must have heard of "genetic technology" and "hybrid rice".
At present, the Hubei Higher Agricultural School is divided into three departments: agriculture and mulberry, animal husbandry and forestry, with a four-year school system and an annual enrollment of 120 students, who are promoted by graduates of ordinary middle schools and higher primary schools. It also has an agricultural primary school and a secondary sericulture school, forming a complete agricultural teaching system from primary school, middle school to junior college. If you are looking for someone to carry out your dream of crop breeding, this school is the most suitable warm lip g.
After understanding the basic situation of the school, Sun Yuanqi ordered the establishment of a separate breeding major in addition to the original three departments of agriculture, animal husbandry, and forestry. In addition, we have implemented the guidelines of "Task-Oriented Disciplines" and set the goal as the hybrid improvement of various crops, the most important of which is hybrid rice.
Sun Yuanqi is a MN outsider in agronomy, and he has never even touched a hoe, and now he proposes "hybrid rice" instead of "hybrid wheat", but he has inadvertently found the right direction and avoided many detours.
If you want to ask him why he circled "hybrid rice"? Sun Yuanqi's reason is very simple: the most heard of in daily life is hybrid rice, and hybrid wheat always feels a little awkward to hear. Besides, the rice yield is also high
In fact, the hybridization of wheat and rice is very difficult, because they are self-pollinating plants, and the stamens are born in the same spikelet, because the spikelets are small and each flower only bears one seed, so it is difficult to produce a large number of first-generation hybrid seeds by artificial emasculation hybridization. For example, every grain of rice is given a baby kiss, and a man and a woman live in a small house, and they can get pregnant without anyone's help. If you want to crossbreed, you should castrate the men in each hut before they come into contact with them, and ask someone else to help them. This is a meticulous job, with two or three hundred rice flowers in one ear, each of which has to be manually dismantled and the stamens removed. Basically, after the operation, the rice ear was also wasted.
Therefore, the best way is to find the small house where there are only women and no men, so that humans can take care of their fertility problems. This congenital malformed plant with only pistils and no stamens is scientifically called "male xng sterile line". Finding a suitable "male XNG sterile line" is a difficult process, and often there is not a single plant in ten acres of land. Compared with rice, wheat "male xng sterile lines" are more difficult to find.
Of course, if a wild male XNG sterile strain is found, the hybrid effect may not be very good. From the beginning of rice hybridization to the industrialization of hybrid rice, there is still a long way to go.
Sun Yuanqi didn't know about these things at first, thinking that he understood advanced scientific concepts, and it only took time to implement them. After the task was issued, I gradually understood that there were many difficulties. Not to mention the difficulty of the research, it takes at least six months from sowing to harvesting each time the rice is planted, and without more than ten or twenty years of effort, it is impossible to produce results. Fortunately, there are students in the school every year, so there is no need to worry about the continuation of scientific research.
Less than half a year after Sun Yuanqi first came to Hubei, he first standardized primary and secondary school textbooks and abolished the textbooks compiled and printed by Hubei itself; then merged various normal schools in Wuchang and expelled Japanese teachers; At present, the School of Law and Politics has been established, and the School of Crafts and the School of Agriculture have been reorganized. From teaching materials to teachers, from students to schools, the three fires of the new officials after taking office burned rapidly and fiercely, and almost carried out a complete purge of Hubei's educational circles.
Although he still wants to adjust the central bureau of the province and transform the Ziqiang School (the predecessor of Wuhan University), taking into account the feelings of Zhang Zhi and Liang Dingfen, and the funds are not abundant this year, after the task of the Agricultural School is arranged, under Yang Du's suggestion, Sun Yuanqi decided to temporarily stop and wait for Zhang Zhi to leave Hubei next summer.
Since he couldn't make it at home, Sun Yuanqi turned his energy abroad.
Since the observation of positrons in British laboratories on Christmas Eve in 1904, many scientists in the world have set their sights on antimatter, and the observation of cosmic sh lines has quickly become the most important research project in the scientific community in the past two years. Scientists have used various instruments to explore the universe's sh-rays, and after hundreds of days and nights have passed, some results have been made on the various effects and origins of the cosmic sh-rays, but no trace of the "antimatter" that Sun Yuanqi called has been found. However, the existence of positrons has been more proven, which has made everyone more hopeful about antimatter, and even the mass-energy equation that was previously ridiculed has risen, and some people have begun to write articles about it.
Where there are those who are in favor, there are naturally those who are against it. Seeing that the academic community has gone astray and hyping up the illusory "antimatter", many orthodox scientists cannot help but be righteous and criticize antimatter on various occasions, believing that it is Sun Yuanqi's nonsense.
Now Sun Yuanqi, a nobody who has been fighting alone, has a decisive influence in the academic world and has countless loyal fans. Hearing that someone was criticizing the great god, the supporters began to fight back violently. Orthodox scientists will not sit idly by and spit on themselves, but they cannot deny the existence of positrons, after all, this is the result of countless laboratory observations. As the discussion of antimatter began to deepen, the debate gradually lengthened, and even related to whether the nuclear reaction would lead to the conversion of mass into energy.
Sun Yuanqi felt that these scientists were too idle and had to break some more fierce news to divert their superfluous attention. So the previously concocted paper "The Big Bang Theory of the Universe" came in handy.
Sure enough, this paper published in the "Journal of Jingshi University" in the winter of 1906 was like a photographic work by Mr. Chen, which instantly attracted the attention of the academic community.
