Chapter 111: Some People Seem to Be Mortals, But They Are Shoulder to Shoulder to Gods (1)

[Some people seem to be mortals, but they are shoulder to shoulder with the gods # hybrid rice # Grandpa Yuan]

[When we mention food, the first thing we can think of is Grandpa Yuan.

He is the pioneer of China's research and development of hybrid rice, and the first scientist in the world to successfully use the heterosis of rice, and is known as the father of hybrid rice.

It has made outstanding contributions to China's food security, agricultural science development and world food supply.

In 1964, Grandpa Yuan began to study hybrid rice.

In 1966, Grandpa Yuan published a paper on male infertility in rice, which successfully opened the prelude to the research of hybrid rice in China.

In 1973, at the second National Hybrid Rice Scientific Research Collaboration Conference, Grandpa Yuan officially announced the success of the three lines of hybrid rice, and a major breakthrough was made in the research on the utilization of hybrid advantages of rice, which began to make a qualitative leap in the yield per mu of grain.

In 1987, Grandpa Yuan was awarded the UNESCO Prize in Science.

Year 2004. Grandpa Yuan won the World Food Prize.

……

On October 14, 2023, after five years of research, 'Super Rice' once again set a world record, reaching an average yield of 1251.5 kg per mu. 】

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang watched the video on the canopy and dropped his jaw in shock.

You must know that in their Great Qin, although there is also rice, it is only one of the five grains.

Not only that, but the yield is also extremely low.

And the number of catties per mu mentioned on the canopy, I am afraid that their yield of dozens of mu will not reach so much.

When he thought about it, he was surprised enough to know that there was a crop in the afterlife that could feed 100 million people.

After all, in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, new crops must have advantages, and behind him is a large number of promotions.

However, this time, the rice that knew what was going on also reached more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, which simply stunned him.

At the same time, he also understood why the future generations were able to feed so many people.

And there are so many people who have nothing to do with traveling around the country.

If Daqin has such a high yield per mu and such a machine, I am afraid that the people of Daqin will also be like future generations, and they can travel throughout the country.

It's a pity that Great Qin doesn't have this kind of thing, and the children of the Mo family can't realize that kind of machine.

At this time, he also understood why some people were mortals, but they were shoulder to shoulder with gods.

Han dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said on the canopy, and he drooled.

He felt that if the Han had such a character, not to mention that he was shoulder to shoulder, it would be the Shennong of the ancient times.

If the Han had such a figure, their Han would have enough food to attack the Xiongnu.

And that little Hun is just a clown jumping beam.

Sui Dynasty.

When Yang Guang saw the information on the canopy, he was a little shocked.

Since he drove away the Grand Canal and built the eastern capital of Luoyang, the food in this world has been a little tight.

Although in his opinion, the problem is not big, but if it is really as said in the canopy, he can produce more than 1,000 catties of rice per mu, I am afraid that he can build many super projects.

Tang dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the information on the canopy, and then thought of the yield of Datang rice, he felt extremely unreal.

You must know that in their Datang, the grain of one acre of land is about more than 100 catties.

Moreover, the grain output of later generations was so high, 10 times that of their one acre of land in the Tang Dynasty.

He would love to know how the future generations did it.

If he Datang also has such an output, even in the face of natural disasters, he can survive safely.

Now attacking Goguryeo, there is no need to worry about logistics.

Song dynasty.

Zhao Zhen looked at the information on the canopy, and he felt that the rice of the Great Song Dynasty still needed to introduce improved varieties.

Since his father brought Champa rice from Champa, the yield of rice in the Great Song Dynasty has increased a lot.

Even so, it is very different from later generations.

He thought about the yields of other crops in later generations, and he suddenly understood why later generations were so rich and powerful.

Although he was richer than all previous dynasties, he did not have ordinary people who could travel like later generations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen was a little envious of the people of later generations, and he felt that that life like that was the enjoyment of life.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the information on the canopy, he howled and cried, his parents, brothers and sisters were starved to death because of lack of food.

Although it was because of natural and man-made disasters that they did not have enough to eat.

But compared with the output of the Ming Dynasty and later generations, the gap is also so big.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if his Ming Dynasty also had such rice, he was afraid that the people in the world would no longer suffer from hunger.

And in this world, you will be peaceful for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang called the prince Zhu Biao again to discuss how to go to sea to find good seeds?

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, they may not be able to cultivate rice seeds like later generations, but they can go overseas to find sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.

Zhu Yuanzhang believes that if the Ming Dynasty has these artifacts, the people of the world will no longer suffer from hunger.

……

When Zheng He saw the information on the canopy, he was very silent, and the pressure became heavier and heavier.

Ever since he discovered the New World, he has been on the lookout for creatures called sweet potatoes and corn.

I just searched for a long time, but I didn't find it.

If it weren't for the fact that the canopy clearly stated that these two crops were produced in this new world, I am afraid that he would have given up long ago.

But now that he has not found it, he is unwilling.

After all, in his opinion, this time the closest to these two crops, if they can be brought back to Daming, I am afraid that they will be able to make the people of Daming have enough to eat.

Eventually, he sent his own soldiers and ordered them to search for the native Turks once again.

If he can't find it again this time, he will leave some of his soldiers in this new world, and he will return to Daming with another part of his soldiers.

Lead more people to search for those two crops next to the New World.

A few days later, someone suddenly came with good news.

A soldier in a tribe of the Turks found corn called a sacred object.

Although the cob is much smaller than the corn on the canopy, the choice is a qualitative leap compared to no such crop.

A few days later, another group of soldiers delivered the good news that they had found sweet potatoes.

Not only sweet potatoes, but also a crop that requires potatoes, although its yield is a little lower than that of sweet potatoes, but in Zheng He's view, it is also a very high-yield crop.

And if he brought these three crops back to the Ming Dynasty, his people would not suffer from hunger as in later generations.

……

Zhu Youzhen saw the information on the canopy, and he copied it again.

While copying the information on the canopy, he drooled over the rice with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu in later generations.

He was in the Ming Dynasty was a period of continuous natural disasters, if there really was such a rice in later generations, I am afraid that the common people would not have all kinds of uprisings as later generations said.

After copying, he called Xu Guangqi again and asked him to find someone to study how to increase the yield of rice

The people of the dynasties looked at the message from the canopy, and they were stunned.

You must know that the grain they grow is simply low compared to the generations to come, and some of them are even less than zero.

If they had such a grain yield per mu, they would not have starved to death in a year of famine.

At the same time, they are also curious, how exactly will rice be cultivated in later generations? What kind of rice seed is it? That's why there is such a high yield.

When some of the people saw the old man on the canopy, they even made clay statues, and they bowed down respectfully.

It is hoped that this old man, like Shennong, will bless them with a bumper grain harvest.
