Chapter Twenty-Four: The Willows Are Shaded
"Xiaoxu, let's not talk about the crossing, so as not to cause trouble. And in the future, you will call me Yan Ling, after all, it is a girl's body now. Yan Ling said solemnly.
"Well, how about calling Brother Lin Xiaoling in the future?" Li Xu stuck out his tongue and made a cute look.
"It's called Ling, and that's it." Yan Ling flicked Li Xu's forehead with her fingers.
"Hmm~" Li Xu covered his forehead and pretended to be in pain.
"Where does Xiao Su live now?" Yan Ling directly ignored Li Xu's cuteness.
"Apartment 212 in District 1 of the 15th Ring Road." Li Xu looked at Yan Ling between his fingers.
After Yan Ling learned of Li Su's residence, she applied to the company to be transferred to the nearest branch of Apartment 212 in District 1 of Xinfu City, so as to facilitate the care of Li Su.
"Does Ling still need to find a place to live? Do you want to come to District 1 212 apartment, there are still 5 places. Li Xu proposed.
"Really, it's for the best. lest thou not take care of thy body. Yan Ling thought it was good, and planned to take a look at the apartment casually when she sent Li Su back.
"We'll be good sisters from now on." Li Xu kept rubbing Yan Ling's chest.
"Don't say that." Yan Ling clenched her hands into fists and spun around Li Xu's temples.
"Ling, beg for mercy."
When Li Xu was only one person, everything could only be buried in his heart, and he could only pretend to be strong in the face of difficulties. Now that the closest people have reappeared, Li Xu no longer needs to maintain a strong shell all the time, revealing a soft heart.
"That's right, Rei. Today is the day of the new corn harvest, and I want to rush back to the company to have a look. After Li Xu came to menarche, he was ordered by Yuka to rest in the apartment, and after Chen Dai finished speaking, he resumed work.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Yuka gave Li Xu 50 hectares of experimental fields. Li Xu used 10 hectares of this as a test field for emasculation and yield enhancement technology to explore the highest yield emasculation method. For the remaining 40 hectares, Li Fu used different methods to conduct experiments, and the collected dioecious corn was asexually propagated and planted in batches.
Li Xu entered the experimental farm full of hope and saw that the original green field had turned withered, and the ripe corn cobs were attached to the corn stalks. Some corn cobs on top are directly exposed, and some top corn resembles sorghum that is scattered. Although many of the corn kernels with top knots are numerous, about 5 times that of the corn cob at the loin, the kernels are small.
"These are not qualified." Li Xu was a little disappointed in his heart, and he didn't expect that the new corn he had high hopes for would end in failure.
The more Li Xu looked at it, the more disappointed he felt, some female corn plants did not even bear fruit, and it was not as good as the original level.
"Am I thinking wrong?" Li Xu muttered to himself, wanting to turn back to find comfort, but remembered that Yan Ling was waiting outside the company. I gave up the rice project and researched a new type of corn on my own, hoping to prove my strength and give the company an insurance, but the reality is so cruel.
Just when Li Xu's confidence began to waver, a touch of green in the withered yellow attracted Li Xu's attention.
"Isn't corn sown at the same time? How can there still be immature? Li Xu walked towards the green with doubts.
This corn plant is green throughout, and it still looks like a girl. The top is also a bare corn cob, but unlike other crooked corn cobs, this one is straight and has red whiskers on it.
Looking at this corn, Li Xu's eyes gradually became brighter. Compared with other female corns, this plant is only 125 cm tall, the corn leaves do not look wilted at all, and the top corn bears full seeds. The number of seeds and seed size on the corn cob are larger than usual.
What happened to this corn plant, Li Xu didn't know. But she can be sure that this is what she needs, even more than she thinks. According to this corn extension crop, it is possible to harvest the corn cob after harvesting the green corn stalks and corn leaves. These cyan parts can be used as feed for animals by silage treatment.
The seeds and root tip cells of this corn plant are preserved, and the next step is to propagate them asexually. Small-scale experimental planting was carried out to ensure the stability of high-yield traits. Large-scale commercial production can only be carried out if the trait is stable. Although there were accidents in the process, the results were still good.
"Sister Yuka, this is the result of an experiment. As long as the corn plant is vegetatively propagated, it can be planted on a large scale, the yield can be increased by up to 50%, and the green corn stalks and corn leaves can be sold to breeding companies. Li Xu hurriedly collected samples and wrote the final results into a report and sent them to Yuka through the three-dimensional network.
"Excellent! I didn't misread you, little catkins. In this crisis, the company will be able to survive it, and the profits and dividends of new varieties of corn will definitely be indispensable to yours. "Yuka is in a good mood, Chen Dai's lectures are popular, and Li Xu's dioecious corn has also achieved results.
"Sister Yuka, that, my friend wants to live in Apartment 212 in District 1, what do you think?" Li Xu hesitated.
"Is that the handsome girl? Can you send me her details, this requires the landlord's consent. Yuka guessed that it should be Yan Ling.
"Okay, I'll send it to you." Li Su immediately sent Yan Ling's business card to Yu Ka.
The business card shows that Yuka is 15 years old this year, born on the same day as Li Xu, and is currently the head of the auxiliary armor project team of the R&D Department of Norin Arms Company.
"Yes, at the age of 15, he was the project director of the Norin Arms Company, and he was born on the same day as Xiaoxu." Yu Ka didn't expect that girl to be a talent, "But the headquarters of the Norin Arms Company is in Liao Neicheng, did this girl apply for transfer here, this sacrifice is a bit big." ”
It stands to reason that a young supervisor with great potential like Yan Ling should be squeezed into the headquarters, so that he has a greater chance of being promoted, but Yan Ling completely gave up this opportunity in order to take care of Li Xu.
Yuka's AR display has communication access, and he is the former CEO of Oasis and the current mayor of Xinfuzhou.
"Yuka, I already know the situation, interesting young man, agree to move in."
"Okay, Sister Sky." Yuka closes the communication with the sky and opens the communication with Li Xu.
"Xiao Su, Sister Sky replied to me, it's no problem at all."
"Great, thank you Sister Yuka and the landlord." Li Su was pleasantly surprised, she really didn't want to be separated from Yan Ling.
Yu Ka smiled and nodded, and said secretly: Xiaoxu's new corn here is successful, but I don't know how the rice project team is. It had been a long time since she had received Chen Dai's report.
On the other hand, Chen Dai changed the source of the C4 gene according to Li Xu's idea, and then introduced the scarecrow gene into rice for small-scale trial planting. Finally, Chen Dai collected leaves for observation and found that the rice had an obvious rosette structure, and chloroplasts with few stromelets appeared in the vascular sheath cells.
This is a typical feature of C4 plants, which means that the C4 gene of barnyard is successfully expressed in rice.
"Finally it worked!" Chen Dai hugged the girl next to her excitedly. The rest of the laboratory also seemed excited, months of hard work finally paid off, and more than two years of hard work were not in vain.
