Under a wave of publicity on the school's official website, Chen Cheng found that after the prestige value reached more than 1,600, it never increased.

Add the 2000 consumed before, for a total of 3600.

Maybe even the school's dormitory manager aunt and cafeteria aunt contributed to his prestige.

This also fully shows that the prestige of Hanxi Agricultural University has been exhausted.

It is not unrealistic to spend money on promotion, Chen Cheng doesn't have much money, and Agricultural University doesn't have much money.

Moreover, before the verification experiment is completed, it is not suitable for extensive external promotion.

In the matter of promotion, Zhao Feng is more anxious than Chen Cheng.

Because he has to apply for the Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award in advance.

Zhao Feng immediately sent the relevant information of the new rice variety named by Chen Cheng - Chen Feng No. 1 to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

Although the Hanxi Provincial Institute of Agricultural Sciences is not the superior unit of Hanxi Agricultural University, it can be regarded as half of the management unit in terms of research system.

Many of the agricultural technology research projects of Hanxi Agricultural University are subcontracted from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and the best place for students to graduate is also the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

If you can obtain the endorsement of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, then the next application for the Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award will be more than half successful.

All experts in agricultural science are the judges of the provincial scientific and technological progress.

Pitching scientific and technological achievements to experts in the field is not considered cheating. Because the Science and Technology Progress Award examines the connotation of science and technology and the prospect of market transformation.

Scientific and technological achievements themselves must face the market in advance.

But what Zhao Feng didn't expect was that within two days, he received a research letter stamped by the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

The main content of the research letter is that the Institute of Agricultural Sciences will send experts to the school to investigate the authenticity of the 14% increase in rice yield, so as to ensure the technical reputation of the Institute.

The implication is that your Agricultural University must be doing such a gimmick, and my Institute of Agricultural Sciences has cooperated with you in so many scientific research projects, and your dishonest scientific research will also affect my reputation.

"Lao Zhang, are you sure? It's not going to be self-defeating, is it? ”

Zhao Feng pushed the investigation letter to Zhang Zhimin.

Zhang Zhimin glanced at the research letter, and said angrily: "The rice yield in the experimental field is weighed by me, how can it be fake?" The verification experiment has not yet been made, so why do they insist that we are cheating? ”

Zhao Feng frowned and said, "The leader of the research team is Han Buping, deputy director of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and he is notoriously difficult.

And when he had a scientific research accident and wanted our school to cover for him, we didn't agree, he has always held a grudge. ”

Zhang Zhimin said: "What are you afraid of, there are on-site photos and recorded data. ”

Zhao Feng said: "Okay, you go back and let Chen Cheng prepare for the investigation." ”

When Zhang Zhimin found Chen Cheng, he was renovating the laboratory with Wang Kai and others.

Chen Cheng divided the laboratory into two parts, one part is the open experimental area, and the other part is the inner room that Chen Cheng separates for his own use.

The main thing is to solve the problem of the system directly transmitting things to reality.

If you have been operating in the dormitory, if you take out a rice plant and a corn cob from the bed one day, you will be bumped into by Wang Kai and them.

It's going to be embarrassing.

Zhang Zhimin explained his intention, and Chen Cheng also felt that the Institute of Agricultural Sciences was deliberately finding fault.

Skepticism is allowed, but at least comparative experiments must be done to produce evidence to be convincing.

Speculating that they were cheating based on experience alone shows that the experts of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences look down on the research strength of their agricultural university.

"Teacher, I believe you, it's just that Han Buping and they will definitely ask all the questions clearly when the time comes."

Zhang Zhimin patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder.

Regarding the source of Chen Cheng's rice male pollen, he had worries and doubts in his heart, but he did not say it directly.

"Teacher Zhang, don't worry, I will take care of it."

Chen Cheng felt that there was no need to worry at all.

The harvest data and photos are all there, and the validation experiment in three months will be the evidence.

If they still have doubts, it's a big deal to do another experiment and get them a bag of pollen from the super lab and let them verify it themselves.

......

Two days later, the research team of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences settled in Hanxi Agricultural University.

At the welcome banquet organized by Zhao Feng, Chen Cheng was invited to attend.

After all, he is the protagonist of this matter.

Han Buping, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Chen Cheng, who had a childish face on the opposite side, and his face showed a trace of displeasure.

Can undergraduates in their twenties research the technology to increase yields by 14% per mu?

Zhang Zhimin is also an old researcher, how could he do the stupid thing of finding an undergraduate student to top the bag!

"Lao Zhao, how many years has our Agricultural University not reported the Science and Technology Award?"

Han Buping looked at Zhao Feng with a hint of questioning in his tone.

Zhao Feng stood up to toast and sighed: "I'm not afraid of Director Han's jokes, it's been almost ten years." ”

Han Buping took a sip of wine and looked at Chen Cheng with humble eyes.

"So you arranged for an undergraduate student to develop a technology that increased rice yields by 14%?"

Zhao Feng's hand holding the wine glass froze in the air.

Everyone can hear the teasing meaning of Han Buping's words.

The other three experts of the research team also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Chen Cheng and others.

Chen Cheng looked at several experts one by one with calm eyes, and finally his eyes fell on Han Buping.

He bowed slightly and said, "Teacher Han, you are the leader of the research team. Surely you know that it is not appropriate to express opinions and conclusions without research, right? ”

"Ahem!"

Zhao Feng and Zhang Zhimin coughed at the same time.

I guess I choked on something.

Han Buping's wrinkled face moved slightly, and he leaned back on the back of the chair.

Since he became the deputy director, no one dared to talk to him like this for many years.

"That is, you guarantee that the rice yield will increase by 14% without any fraud, right?"

He looked at the young man opposite him with sharp eyes, this was a question that needed to be questioned.

"Yes."

The other party's answer was crisp and clear.

"Okay, we'll see you in the lab tomorrow."

After saying this, Han Buping got up and left the private room with a gentle step.

The other two experts also shook their heads and walked out.

"Chen Cheng, you shouldn't be so reckless."

Zhang Zhimin didn't wait for Zhao Feng to speak, and criticized Chen Cheng first.

He was actually defending Chen Cheng, because if he started first, it would be difficult for Zhao Feng to follow the criticism.

Chen Cheng said: "Teacher Zhang, I know the status of Teacher Han. But when doing research, yes is yes, no is no. He shouldn't doubt us with preconceived notions. ”

"Well said!"

Zhao Feng walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"When we do scientific research, we must have the courage to question authority."

Zhang Zhimin didn't expect Zhao Feng to say this, he thought that Zhao Feng was afraid of offending Han Buping and would criticize Chen Cheng.

Zhao Feng turned to Zhang Zhimin and said, "Prepare all our evidence tomorrow and check it with them." ”

Zhang Zhimin and Chen Cheng nodded at the same time.

The next day, Han Buping and the others came to Chen Cheng's laboratory on time, and Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhimin and others were already waiting here.

"Take out all the records from the beginning of planting, and we'll go through them as we please."

Han Buping's tone was flat, but everyone knew the meaning of his words.

Zhang Zhimin had already arranged for the students to put all the records on the long table, and while he counted them, he introduced them to Han Buping and others.

Chen Cheng stood beside him, ready to deal with Han Buping's attack at any time.

The three of them looked at the information with a straight face, and they didn't speak to communicate, but they couldn't help nodding slightly from time to time.

Because the data of the whole research topic is very complete and standardized.

An hour later, the three of them finished checking and put down the information in their hands.

Han Buping said: "On the whole, the information is very sufficient. ”

Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhimin glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But there is still no information on the source of male pollen!"

Han Buping looked at Chen Cheng with a smile.

Chen Cheng's heart tightened, this was indeed the biggest loophole in the entire experiment.

"Where does pollen come from?" Han Buping asked.

====== humble authors, all kinds of votes.
