Chapter 0005 Target of 10% increase in production
Seeing that the number of experiments on the panel became 0, Chen Cheng felt a little reluctant in his heart.
Now the reputation value is still too low, and it's so tight to do an experiment.
It seems that you have to work hard to increase your reputation.
Here, the cultivation cabin of the laboratory opened, and Chen Cheng watched in surprise as several virtual male flowers were sent in, and then developed into a seed inside.
There is no development with fertilization of the female flower!
The parthenogenesis of rice is directly realized.
The high-end technology of the laboratory once again refreshed his cognition.
Seeds in the culture chamber germinate, grow, and blossom quickly. Then one of the male flowers was kept and transferred to a computer for calculations.
Subsequently, it gives an estimated production growth value.
15%!!
Chen Cheng almost screamed.
What is the concept of a 15% increase in production?
That is to say, an agricultural researcher who spends his whole life constantly breeding, cultivating, and then selecting and breeding seeds may not be able to achieve the goal.
But it was realized in less than an hour by the laboratory.
As for how much economic value this increase in yield can produce, based on the highest annual rice output of 200 million tons in Huaxia, a 15% increase in yield means that an additional 30 million tons of rice can be harvested in a year.
It can feed more than 50 million people!
Chen Cheng suppressed his excitement and watched the male flower that seemed to be a peerless beauty in his mind.
No, it's a peerless handsome guy.
If it is cultivated in real life, its descendants will spread all over China and feed the Chinese people.
Now the problem is, it's a virtual thing.
"How can I breed this male flower? I'm afraid that parthenogenesis of rice can't be done in reality, right? Chen Cheng asked.
[Products grown in the laboratory can be used in real life.] 】
"Can be used for... In reality?! "Chen Cheng is incredible.
[Yes, it can be teleported to you.] 】
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, I need more than 300 square meters of male pollen for rice pollination!"
【Okay.】 】
The lab's incubator was opened again, and this time there were many more rice seedlings that were breaking through the ground.
Chen Cheng rubbed his hands and waited, and after a while, he felt a palm-sized plastic bag appear out of thin air next to him.
When I took a photo with my mobile phone, it was a pale yellow male flower pollen as fine as flour, and it was a big bag.
Chen Cheng held it tightly in his hand and was excited for a long time before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, he took his three roommates and went to the experimental field to pollinate.
Wang Kai asked him several times about the source of this bag of pollen, and Chen Cheng fooled him.
"It seems that we have to apply for a laboratory in the laboratory building, otherwise this kind of thing that appears out of thin air is not easy to explain."
Chen Cheng thought and quickened his pace.
The male flowers in the experimental field have opened yesterday, which means that the female flowers have bloomed in a large area in this day or two.
He divided the male pollen into three parts, which were pollinated by spraying with water at different times.
Spraying with water can improve pollen adhesion and improve the success rate of pollination.
Under the scorching sun, the four of them wore straw hats and were busy in the rice field from morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, before they could complete the pollination of the entire experimental field.
If you want to say it's hard, it's really hard.
But for those who work in agriculture, this is commonplace, because many agricultural technicians spend most of their lives in the fields.
Ordinary people don't know how much hardship it takes to ask for an extra grain of rice from the land.
This is also the reason why Chen Cheng and the others are all so black.
Black and handsome, black and handsome, is Chen Cheng's evaluation of his appearance.
"Well, spraying pollination and self-pollination of rice should be able to achieve the planned increase in yield."
Chen Cheng removed the spraying canister on his back, looked at the thriving rice in the field, and smiled contentedly.
Looking at his right hand, which was dyed pale yellow by pollen, Wang Kai sighed.
"How many lives have been killed by my hand, and pollinating rice with my own hands today can be regarded as a merit and demerit."
Chen Cheng bowed to him: "Congratulations to the donor, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." ”
Wang Kai arched his hand: "Joy, joy." ”
......
For the remaining ten days, Chen Cheng devoted himself to papers and patents.
In the process of writing his dissertation, he continued to make up for the knowledge he had owed, and in the database of supercomputers, he learned more advanced knowledge.
When he really devoted himself to research, he realized that he had really wasted his youth in his previous life.
It turns out that the joy of solving a puzzle with knowledge is exactly the same as the happiness of playing a game.
Even more advanced and fulfilling.
Chen Cheng repeatedly assured Zhang Zhiming that the experimental field will definitely achieve the goal of increasing production by more than 10% this year.
On the day of the harvest, Zhang Zhiming called the whole class to the experimental field.
The weather was cool, just in time for harvesting.
The golden and plump ears of rice rustle in the breeze, as if to say:
"Come and kill me."
The thresher was carried to the edge of the field, and the sickle, dustpan, and pound weighed... Everything was in place, and all were tied to a strip of red cloth.
This is a romance that belongs exclusively to the students of Hanxi Agricultural University.
It's not superstition, it's a please.
Zhang Zhiming said 'let's do it', and twenty classmates bent down and began to cut rice.
Boys carry and thresh, girls bundle and weigh, everyone performs their duties, and it is in full swing.
Even the chubby female squad leader Wang Lei was busy sweating profusely.
You can have an opinion on people, but you can't have an opinion on food, this is the ethics of agricultural people.
The experimental field has a total of 335 square meters, which is about 0.5 acres.
This size takes into account the constraints of the school's land area and the convenience of calculating the yield per acre.
The male classmate carried a bag of threshing rice and weighed it, and a girl next to him weighed it, and a girl reported the number.
Tutor Zhang Zhiming took a small notebook to make records.
"The 11th bag, 51 catties, a total of 563 catties!"
This year, their goal is to produce 1,200 catties per mu, that is, half an acre of experimental field needs to produce 600 catties.
Looking at the threshing machine that had not stopped, Zhang Zhiming's hands trembled slightly.
More than 600 catties is certain, but how many catties can be reached, which makes him very nervous.
The threshing machine finally stopped, and except for the students who were bagging, the other students gathered around the scales.
"The 12th bag, 52 pounds, a total of 615 pounds!"
All the students erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and at the same time, Wang Kai and the others lifted Chen Cheng up and threw him in the air.
"Lao Chen, you are really amazing!"
Wang Kai shook Chen Cheng's shoulders and looked at him with reverence on his face.
Chen Cheng waved his hand: "Calm down, there is still rice over there that has not been loaded." ”
"The 13th bag, 49 pounds, a total of 664 pounds!"
Unexpectedly, there were no cheers, but instead everyone looked at Chen Cheng.
This increase in production exceeded any of their expectations.
"Teacher Zhang, there are still two catties here!"
Two classmates came running with plastic bags of rice they had collected from the thresher.
"Holy, 666!" Wang Kai was pleasantly surprised.
"Mr. Zhang, after accounting, the experimental field has increased by 14% this year!" The girl in charge of reporting the number said loudly.
"Yay!"
The students burst into cheers again.
The system is expected to increase production by 15%, and the actual production increase is 14%. Chen Cheng estimates that there is some loss during the harvesting process.
Zhang Zhiming helped the glasses that fell to the tip of his nose and looked at Chen Cheng.
"Xiao Chen, how did you do it?"
Chen Cheng said: "Male flowers are preferred, pollinated by spraying, and pollination rate is guaranteed. ”
Zhang Zhiming nodded: "Yes, the technical route is correct, the operation is fine, and what you have learned is put into practice." ”
Chen Cheng said lightly: "This batch of rice already has the genetic characteristics of long flowering period and sufficient pollen, and the next generation can achieve this yield without artificial pollination." ”
"How is that possible!"
Zhang Zhiming's glasses fell to the ground.
