737 Unforgettable dinner
"I brought you a gift."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the old man smiled, "Okay, this is a gift for dinner, so you have to accept it." ”
"Chief, I didn't buy it, I hit it, and I'll use it for you."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao handed over the wolf skin on his left hand.
The old man's face was serious, he looked at his face with a little vicissitudes, and took it solemnly.
"Good work."
Yang Xiaotao pursed his lips, his teeth bit the flesh inside, and his eyes suddenly became a little unassailing, wanting to
A thousand words, at this moment, take a deep breath and shake your head hard, "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”
The old man could see that Yang Xiaotao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the hand he held was gently forced.
"Don't be nervous, here today is just a normal walk."
"You guys, you're all here and haven't come in yet, come in and talk."
A female voice came from the room, and then a woman with a small head came out, wearing an apron, apparently busy with her work.
The old man smiled, "Come in, the hostess has spoken, hurry in." ”
Yang Xiaotao nodded and looked at the woman with a respectful expression.
The woman was also looking at Yang Xiaotao, with a kind smile on her face.
"I just got off the train, I'm tired."
"Hello."
"Not tired!"
Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to call it, or rather, he didn't think it was appropriate to call it.
"I also said that I went to wash my face, and I ate something for a while, and I couldn't eat well on the train."
The woman is nagging like a mother, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and inadvertently, the heart is warm.
"Alas, good!"
Yang Xiaotao doesn't know how he walks, anyway, it's a little different from normal walking.
On the other side, the old man met Gao Yufeng, shook hands with Section Chief Yu, and after a cordial conversation, several people walked into the house.
Yang Xiaotao washed his hands, and then stood aside.
"Quick, sit, sit down."
After speaking, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng sat on the side and leaned against the old man, and Dean Zheng and Section Chief Yu sat on both sides.
Although it was a meal, it was only the two of them who really ate.
On the table was a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a millet porridge.
In addition, each person has a large bowl with hand-rolled noodles.
"You two have come from the Great Northwest by train, and I'm here to find you for something."
Ahem
"Eat first, then talk about business."
The woman reminded on the side, and the old man laughed, "Yes, eat first, come, try my family's craftsmanship." ”
"There is less food, more simplicity, and you will be satisfied."
Saying that, let Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng move their chopsticks.
"No, no, that's good."
Gao Yufeng hurriedly spoke, and the old man nodded, "The people's economy must be built, but the atmosphere of hardship and simplicity cannot be lost." ”
Yang Xiaotao held the bowl and nodded vigorously.
The old man is so hard and simple, and when he thinks about his life, he feels a sense of shame inexplicably.
In the future, we must be more arduous and simple.
Holding chopsticks, I carefully pinched a peanut.
Gao Yufeng saw Yang Xiaotao moving chopsticks, and he also ate with him.
Yang Xiaotao gently crushed the peanuts, and then ate the noodles in a big gulp.
Ate quickly, but without sound.
The noodles are filled with oil and water, and they are warm to eat.
"Why don't you eat noodles and vegetables?"
The old man said, picked up the chopsticks, put the shredded potatoes in Yang Xiaotao's bowl, and gave Gao Yufeng another piece.
Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and ate.
Everyone else looked at the two, the two people who bowed their heads and ate carefully.
The woman smiled and shook her head.
Yang Xiaotao quickly finished eating the noodles, arranged the bowls and chopsticks neatly, and sat with his waist straight.
"Finished eating so soon?"
The old man watched Yang Xiaotao finish eating quickly, and sighed with some emotion.
"When I was young, I was too, all kinds of things, sometimes I had to fight, and I had to eat quickly, otherwise I would have no strength."
"But now, the stomach can't do it. You have to pick up the soft ones when you eat."
The old man chattered, and Yang Xiaotao could feel the closeness around him.
As the old man spoke, Yang Xiaotao clenched his palms, then mobilized all his strength, raised his hand and slowly grabbed the old man's hand aside.
The old man looked at it and didn't care, "So, people can't disobey the old." ”
"You're still young"
Yang Xiaotao listened carefully, and his heart was already connected with Xiaowei in his chest, mobilizing the maximum energy of his body.
The old man felt that Yang Xiaotao's hands were a little hot, and smiled again, "Eat another bowl." ”
"No, no."
"That's not your amount of food, another bowl."
"No, really"
At this time, the woman had already picked up the bowl and put another bowl in front of Yang Xiaotao.
"Eat quickly, don't be restrained, me and him, it's just two old men."
Yang Xiaotao let go of his hand, nodded and picked up the bowl again, this time, Yang Xiaotao ate very slowly.
Five minutes later.
Yang Xiaotao put down the bowl and saw that everyone else was waiting for him, and sat up straight embarrassed.
"I'm full."
Yang Xiaotao said awkwardly, and the old man laughed heartily.
"When you're full, let's get down to business."
The old man's expression changed, and he got up and walked to the study.
Dean Zheng and the others got up to follow.
When I came to the study, a row of bookshelves was the first to come into view, Yang Xiaotao stood in front of the shelves and watched, there were many more books here than at home.
Just after a glance, Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and sat down behind Director Zheng.
Waiting for everyone last night, Secretary Tang walked in and added a bowl of tea to a few people, and then went out.
The old man nodded to Dean Zheng, and then Dean Zheng began to briefly describe the situation.
Yang Xiaotao finally understood why he was in such a hurry to find them.
At the same time, I knew in my heart that the other party had started the experiment.
After all, they had enough parents from Yangjiazhuang.
It's just that these seeds have been manipulated by Xiaowei, and now there is no problem with the corn that grows in the greenhouse.
But if you plant it in the wild, you hope it doesn't run into strong winds.
At the beginning, Xiaowei's modified energy directly removed the lodging resistance genes, causing genetic defects.
It's just that he can't say anything about this matter, especially the security issue that Section Chief Yu is responsible for, and he has always felt that there is nothing abnormal.
He can't say that the other party used the grafting to complete the task.
If you don't say that you can't explain it, you just know it and let the other party succeed, and this motive is not pure.
In short, this cannot be said.
Yang Xiaotao still has this bit of sanity.
"This matter, very urgently. The comrades at the front are negotiating on this matter. ”
With a touch of sorrow on the old man's face, the exchange group sent by him was negotiating with the other party, although the agreement had been signed, but the other party, as one of the super strengths on the blue star, really had to pay the bill, and the agreement was a piece of toilet paper.
"If the other party has already mastered the technology, then it will be the worst outcome. Our comrades will be very passive, and it will be difficult to fulfill the materials promised to us by the agreement. ”
"If the other party is experimenting and wants to analyze this technology, then what the result is, you need to give an answer."
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at a few people.
Gao Yufeng didn't speak after hearing this, he has experience in field planting research, but if you want to talk about theoretical support, forget it.
Soon, everyone's eyes focused on Yang Xiaotao.
At this time, Yang Xiaotao had already thought of a rhetoric in his mind.
Obviously, Maozi is able to make corn seeds, and it is not surprising that the greenhouse technology is used to complete the breeding, and then the next year large-scale planting.
In this way, we can not only get rid of the shackles on our heads, but also save a large amount of materials and money, and enhance our national strength.
The other party can't wait.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao can't say that the other party can't complete breeding, but he can give a positive judgment on the defects of breeding.
And this requires the answer from genetic recombination.
Everyone looked over, and Yang Xiaotao smiled confidently.
Seeing this, the old man's heart was relieved, and there were still people who were calm at this time, either they were veterans of deception, or they had real skills and were full of confidence.
He prefers the latter.
"Chief, Dean, we don't have to worry."
"The other party is doing this, purely to take the way of death."
The old man sighed, his eyes widened, and he became interested.
Then he sat down forward.
"Tell me."
"Good!" Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked left and right, "I need a pen and a piece of paper." ”
The old man got up and picked up a pen and a blank piece of papyrus from his desk.
After Yang Xiaotao took it, he immediately said, "The reason why hybrid corn is hybridized is to mix the dominant traits together, gather them in a corn kernel, and then sprout and grow to become the corn we need." ”
"In the experiment, Yangcun No. 1 is a fusion of high rods, long rods, large grains and lodging resistant shapes."
"I wrote in my paper that the high stalk of corn is dominant against the short stalk, numbered D, the long rod is dominant against the short stalk, numbered E, the large grain is dominant against the small grain, the number is F, and the resistance to lodging against lodging is dominant, and the number is H."
Yang Xiaotao wrote the English letters of the representative trait on it, and then explained to several people, "When maize is reproduced, the principle of meiosis is followed, that is, in the process of division, alleles are separated with the separation of homologous chromosomes, and non-alleles on non-homologous chromosomes are freely combined. ”
"It may be abstract to say, but I'll make a brief analogy."
Immediately, Yang Xiaotao wrote out several possible characters.
Looking at the 16 combinations written by Yang Xiaotao on the papyrus, everyone thought carefully.
Simple math problems can still be understood by everyone.
"That is."
There are 16 kinds of gametes coming out of this grain of corn, and there are 16 kinds of sperm and eggs, and under this combination, there are 256 kinds of possibilities.
A few people nodded, mathematically so.
The old man pondered for a moment, "You mean, it's hard for them to push back the original plant through our corn kernels?" ”
"Chief, it's not very difficult, it's impossible."
"You see, what we need for the original strain is homozygous, it's the same."
"But half of these permutations are heterozygous, and they exhibit the same traits as homozygous."
"These shapes, but corn kernels, are not the letters we see that can be easily excluded."
"If they want to find out in this way, it won't be possible without years or even decades."
"So the seeds they are making now are all problematic seeds, and they can't find homozygous seeds at all."
Yang Xiaotao said confidently, the old man looked at the paper for a while, and then looked at Dean Zheng, who nodded silently.
"Definitely?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I'm sure." ”
"Chief, don't look at the other party's heat, some of these seeds do grow like ours."
"But they're missing one of the most important things."
"Oh? What's up? ”
Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Anti-lodging." It's a recessive gene. ”
When Dean Zheng and Gao Yufeng heard this, they were suddenly stunned for three seconds, and then laughed.
The old man saw it and knew that they understood Yang Xiaotao's intentions, so he hurriedly asked.
Yang Xiaotao motioned for Gao Yufeng to speak, and the other party nodded and said, "Chief, this lodging resistance is a recessive gene, which means that it is difficult to see from the appearance of corn, but as long as it encounters windy weather, it can be highlighted." ”
"At the beginning, the corn field in Yangjiazhuang was hit by windy weather, and many corns were blown down, but the hybrid corn had resistance genes and did not suffer major losses."
When the old man heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he was even more excited when he thought of something.
"Chief, if there is windy weather during pollination, what will happen."
"Large-scale production cuts."
The old man gave the answer directly.
"Yes, it may even be a bad harvest."
"At that time, if there is no harvest, we will have to rely on blood transfusions from the outside world and imports to buy food."
"If it's not done right, there will be famine."
The more the old man spoke, the more solemn he became, and the three people below all nodded.
Yang Xiaotao didn't think there was anything wrong, if the other party completed the task in an orderly manner, the two parties might benefit from each other.
But if you want to play tricks, hehe.
He doesn't mind teaching the other person a memorable lesson.
As for the possible tragic situation of the other party, is it his business?
