When Chen Cheng woke up, it was already noon.

After discovering that No. 2 wild seawater rice had the characteristics of leaf change at dawn, he extracted this dominant gene, and then fused it with the genes of No. 7 wild seawater rice and special rice, and added the gene that automatically produces plant mineral operatin.

Finally, a new rice gene with leaf change, high salinity tolerance, high yield, and good taste was combined.

This is where the metamorphosis comes in after the system upgrade.

Plant genes can be combined at will to form a completely new variety.

The leaf-changing characteristics of No. 2 wild seawater rice are coordinated with plant mineral operanins, so that the rice can absorb a large amount of mineral salts and move them to the leaves, and the mineral salts will be excreted from the body after the leaves wilt and fall off, which will not cause them to accumulate on the rice.

What surprised Chen Cheng even more was that this kind of seawater rice, which can excrete mineral salts from the body, has a good improvement effect on saline-alkali soil!

When he iteratively simulated a new seawater rice variety after genetic combination, he found that seawater rice acts as a filter, absorbing salt from the soil and excreting it with dead leaves.

Therefore, as long as the dead leaves and straw of seawater rice are removed from the paddy field and prevented from rotting and decomposing in the paddy field, the pH value of the saline-alkali land can be improved to a normal level after about five years.

This is the fundamental means to change the 300 million acres of saline-alkali land in China!

After Chen Cheng cultivated the pollen of a new seawater rice variety with stable genes, he extracted them into reality, and then made enough pollen on the bio-replicator to pack up and go to bed.

He woke up and sent a text message to Zeng Lao's academician office about going to Hannan Province in the afternoon, and then prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Unexpectedly, Wang Kai and the three of them went to the laboratory in a fight.

"Holy, Lao Chen!" Wang Kai exclaimed.

"Brother Kai, can you not combine these two groups of words together?" Chen Cheng said.

Where did Wang Kai mind this, ran over and hugged Chen Cheng's shoulders, and said happily: "Lao Chen, you can't get through the phone or reply to the text messages, we all think you are lost in the alleys of the coastal city." ”

Ding Tao said: "Brother Kai, can you have a positive shape?" ”

Tang Qiang said: "Lao Chen, have you eaten?" Let's go out for a good meal and celebrate! ”

"Celebrate what?" Chen Cheng asked.

"You don't know yet?" ×3.

"Isn't that what Freman accused me of plagiarizing my papers?" Chen Cheng said disapprovingly.

Wang Kai said excitedly: "It's that Gongzi Jia who is surprised!" His scarf has been banned, and it is said that he will enter the game! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Chen Cheng has indeed been immersed in the research and development of new seawater rice varieties in the past few days, and he only knows Freman's slander, and he doesn't know who that Jia Dajing is.

Of course, he is not interested in knowing about a male who is a false talker.

Wang Kai told the whole process, including how they organized all the students of Agricultural University to be shocked with Jia Da on the Internet, and Zeng Lao held a press conference for him.

"Zeng Lao is really good to me." Chen Cheng was touched.

"What about us? We're all here for you! Wang Kai shook his shoulder.

Ding Tao said: "Brother Kai, you are meritorious, but to compare yourself with Zeng Lao, this is a bit too much!" ”

Wang Kai smiled embarrassedly, and Ding Tao and Tang Qiang also laughed.

Looking at the three happy roommates, Chen Cheng's heart was full of emotion.

Although he didn't experience this incident personally, he could imagine the anger of the whole school, Zhao Feng's recklessness, and Zeng Lao's endorsement of his reputation.

This is the reward of his efforts, and it is also the best interpretation of his prestige.

Everything is worth it.

"Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner!" Chen Cheng said with relief.

"Let's go!"

The four of them walked out of the laboratory shoulder to shoulder.

......

Chen Cheng arrived at the National Hybrid Rice Research Institute, and it was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Zeng Lao picked him up downstairs in the office, exchanged a few words, and the two went upstairs together.

No one mentioned Zeng Lao's press conference, and for smart people with a good heart, it is good to keep some things in their hearts.

After pouring a cup of tea, Chen Cheng put the two bags of pollen on the table.

"Elder Zeng, this time I and Mr. Deng Xing have gained a lot from their trip to Haizhou!" Chen Cheng said.

Zeng Lao said with a smile: "Deng Xingdu told me, saying that the excellent traits of wild seawater rice you found are very good, and there is a variety with high salt and alkali tolerance?" ”

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Yes." It has an alkaline pH of 10.2! ”

Zeng Lao nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is a level higher than our first-generation seawater rice!" If it can really be inherited to the hybrid variety, it is estimated that it can be cultivated in at least 200 million acres of saline-alkali land. ”

Chen Cheng said again: "It's not all! ”

He took out a sketch he had drawn on the computer and handed it to Zeng Lao.

"This is another special seawater rice variety that we have found, and I call it No. 2 wild seawater rice. It is flooded by seawater because of its periodicity, and after my observation and analysis, it has the property of changing leaves! ”

"Leaf-changing characteristics?"

Zeng Lao frowned slightly, he naturally knew the leaf-changing characteristics of trees, even if some plants had leaf-changing characteristics, he could understand them.

After all, it is not uncommon for the living environment to create the characteristics of the variety.

Zeng Lao said: "This energy-consuming trait is not a dominant trait for rice, and its yield should not be high, right?" ”

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Its output is indeed not too high. However, it can solve the problem of excessive mineral enrichment in rice plants. ”

After he said this, Zeng Lao suddenly reacted.

"You're talking about using plant mineral organismins to transport minerals to the leaves and excrete them from the body using leaf-swapping properties?"

Chen Cheng nodded and continued: "The selected pollen has been found through computer programming simulation, if the pollen of these two varieties of wild seawater rice is crossed with your premium rice, their next generation will have a certain probability of retaining these two dominant characteristics at the same time. ”

He said "certain probability" to dispel doubts about genetic combinations that Zeng Lao might have.

In the process of rice hybridization, pollen of different varieties is pollinated with the same female flower, which will interfere with certain traits. In addition, hybridization is a process of genetic recombination and distribution, and there are many uncontrollable factors, and it is also common to produce the separation of different traits.

At this time, Zeng Lao was already deeply shocked by the combination of high salt tolerance and leaf changing characteristics.

"What is the yield of the hybrid that you analyzed with the computer model?" He asked.

Chen Cheng said: "After using them to cross with your special grade rice with a yield of 1,400 catties per mu, it can reach a yield of more than 900 catties per mu." ”

"900 pounds?!"

Zeng Lao finally couldn't hold back the shock and shouted out.
