Chapter 0015: Academician's Technical Problems

"Xiao Ding said that you want to ask me to help you guide your thesis?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Xiao Ding?" Chen Cheng frowned.

"It's Ding Changan." Wu Yongping, who was standing next to him, said, "Ding Changan is my senior brother, and we are all students of Teacher Zhou. ”

Chen Cheng suddenly realized, he was saying how could Zhou Kai call Ding Changan 'Xiao Ding'.

He hurriedly opened his laptop and clicked on his paper on anti-lodging nutrient solution, and also opened Zhang Zhimin's paper on the growth node of lodging rice seedlings.

The two papers corroborate each other and can explain the problem more clearly.

Because the laptop screen was too small, Zhou Kai had to lean over with reading glasses to read the words on it.

Chen Cheng thought that he had cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, and it was probably uncomfortable to lean over like this, so he held up the computer with both hands and lifted it to the most comfortable position for Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai's attention was already attracted by the content of the paper, and he did not notice this change.

Chen Cheng held the computer while observing the changes in Zhou Kai's expression.

But Zhou Kai's face was as calm as ever, except for occasional slight frowning.

An hour later, Zhou Kai turned his head to look at him.

"You really wrote this paper?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

"You're only a senior in college?"

Chen Cheng nodded again.

Zhou Kai didn't show a shocked expression like the others, but just said "Okay" heavily.

He put away his reading glasses, only to find that Chen Cheng had been helping him hold the computer, and hurriedly asked him to put it down.

"I've read two papers, and the evidence and the experimental process are relatively rigorous. Although I don't have much research on rice nutrient solutions, I can see that your technology is amazing.

If it is launched on the market, it can help farmers recover a lot of losses! ”

Chen Cheng smiled: "I have submitted a patent application, and it can be used at a low price in the domestic market." ”

Zhou Kai looked at him in surprise, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him solemnly.

After shaking hands, Zhou Kaicai smiled and said, "You kid, you have applied for patents, and you said that you came to me to read the paper?" ”

Chen Cheng nodded awkwardly. It was really just an excuse for him to ask Zhou Kai to read the papers, because if he said the reason directly, I was afraid that Zhou Kai would not see him.

"There is indeed one thing that requires Academician Zhou to come forward and do justice."

After speaking, he took out the information and evidence in the bag, and described the 14% increase in production of Chen Feng No. 1 to Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai said while looking at the data: "It is indeed a bit irregularistic that a generation of experimental specimens can achieve stable genetic characteristics. But judging from your information, the authenticity is no problem. ”

"Have you done the verification experiment?" He asked again.

Chen Cheng said: "The verification experiment of the second crop of rice is being done, but the verification experiment of the deputy director of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Han, on the late-maturing rice has been made, saying that there is no yield increase effect at all. Therefore, they want to cancel the scientific research cooperation with the Agricultural University. ”

Zhou Kai frowned and said: "Judging from your information, there may be differences in the results of the verification experiment, but it is impossible to have no effect at all, and their conclusions so arbitrarily are unreasonable." ”

"So I'd like to ask you to come over and lead a seminar to show you the direction of this from an academic point of view." Chen Cheng said sincerely.

Zhou Kai said with a sad face: "It's okay." It's just that recently our project team has to overcome a technical problem, and I'm afraid we won't have time. ”

Academician Zhou doesn't want to wade into this troubled water?

"Isn't there half a day of meeting time?" Chen Cheng frowned slightly.

Zhou Kai smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, don't get me wrong. Me... The body is not very good. It's hard to overcome this technical problem, so it's time to wait. ”

Chen Cheng's face turned red, he was too narrow-minded just now.

He really didn't expect this temporary situation to happen. But if Academician Zhou could not attend the seminar, then all his plans would not be realized.

To bring down Han Buping, only Academician Zhou can hold the field.

Yes, he has already decided to bring down Han Buping.

Because the other party cheated on the experimental object, it was clear that he wanted to put him to death, and he had to resist.

"Academician Zhou, what technical problems do you want to study? If I don't get into secrets, I want to learn too. Chen Cheng asked modestly.

Zhou Kaidao: "It's not secret, but we are engaged in sterile hybrid rice, have you participated in related projects?" ”

The full name of the sterile hybrid is rice, and the male sterile line rice.

It is a special type of rice, in its own flowers, the male organ is not perfectly developed, can not form normal pollen, and its female organ development is normal. Therefore, it cannot reproduce on its own, and needs to use foreign rice pollen to produce seeds.

Chen Cheng shook his head. Zhang Zhimin has been engaged in the research of ordinary rice breeding, and as a student, Chen Cheng naturally has never been exposed to sterile hybrid technology.

Zhou Kai was not disappointed, and he did not pin his hopes on a college student who was only in his twenties.

"Since you're interested, I'll tell you about it."

"Our team has been doing research on the technology of closely related hybrid rice, and the main reason why hybrid rice has the advantages of high yield and resistance to diseases and insects is the fusion of dominant genes of the hybrid rice.

In order to avoid the separation of traits in the offspring of hybrid rice, hybrid rice is artificially bred, and the offspring of natural breeding will lose the excellent characteristics of hybridization. ”

Chen Cheng nodded as he listened, because these were basic professional knowledge.

Zhou Kai continued: "In the past two years, our researchers have conducted research in the poor mountainous areas of northwest Hanxi Province and found that many farmers are using our hybrid rice for natural breeding. They say hybrid rice seeds are too expensive and they can't afford them. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Kai's expression darkened.

Wu Yongping, a student next to him, continued: "Those farmers who live in the mountains, they grow rice and eat it themselves, and when they see that our hybrid rice has a high yield, they buy it back and plant it. But where do you have the extra money to buy seeds every year? ”

Chen Cheng asked, "Are hybrid rice seeds expensive?" ”

Wu Yongping said: "About 100 yuan a catty, an acre of land costs 3-4 catties." Naturally, seed dealers will not take the initiative to reduce their prices. ”

Zhou Kai explained: "It's not that they are so poor that they can't even afford to buy seeds, it's just that they are used to saving money and are reluctant to pay for seeds." ”

"So you want to develop new varieties that can inherit the characteristics of hybrid rice and can be bred naturally?" Chen Cheng made a bold guess.

Zhou Kaidao: "Yes." Even if the good traits are slightly lowered, as long as they can afford to grow them in the mountains. ”

Chen Cheng was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that an academician who had already achieved fame was still worried about a few bags of seeds for farmers.

He immediately decided to use the super laboratory to do an experiment, if nothing else, he felt that he should also work hard for the farmer's bags of seeds.

"Academician Zhou, do you have any hybrid rice seeds? Can you show me? He asked.

Zhou Kai motioned to Wu Yongping to fetch a handful of seeds and handed them to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng took it, put it in the palm of his hand to observe, and used a supercomputer to scan the information of rice seeds.

"Why, you kid can do research with your eyes?" Zhou Kai asked jokingly.

Chen Cheng reacted suddenly, put the seeds into the sample bag, and said to Zhou Kai: "Academician Zhou, can I take these seeds back for research?" ”

The existence of the system must not be exposed.

Zhou Kai nodded.

"Then I'll come back and make an appointment with you for the seminar."

Chen Cheng got up to say goodbye, he had to race against time to find a research idea in order to exchange time with Zhou Kai for a seminar.
