Hebei, agricultural demonstration base.

There are vast plains in the center of Hebei. Since ancient times, it has been a major grain-producing province. It is adjacent to the Bohai Sea in the east, the imperial capital in the inner circle, the Taihang in the west, and the Yanshan in the north. The urban agglomeration is concentrated towards the center and coastal areas, and is rarely affected by creatures. It is unique.

This base was originally found in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but it was secretly expanded and added security measures a year ago, making it a national-level scientific research site.

“Cruff!”

Two cars drove from afar and stopped in front of a building similar to a greenhouse. As soon as the car door opened, an old man walked down.

"Welcome to the chief to inspect!" Several persons in charge who had been waiting at the door quickly met.

"Okay, I'm here to see the results today, go in and talk." The old man looked serious and took big steps to get inside first.

The rest of the people hurriedly followed and led to the No. 1 scientific research area. Through the thick glass, there were culture materials that looked like white frost covered with fat gray oyster mushrooms.

"This place is calculated in the rural area, which is the size of acre of land. It takes about 45 days for normal oyster mushrooms to harvest the first crop, and then another crop will appear every 15-20 days. After repeated experiments, the cycle will basically be stable.

In 20 days, the yield per mu can reach 20,000 jin."

The expert sighed as he spoke, saying, "This fungus is good. I have been studying mushrooms for my whole life and have never seen such active fungus... Oh, look over there!"

He reacted and led the old man to another test shed.

The style here is quite unique, such as fungus, tremella, shiitake mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, etc., and the most conspicuous one is undoubtedly a giant mushroom in the middle.

The roots drilled out of the soil and formed more than a dozen from the bottom, forming a large circle of mushrooms. The caps were like umbrellas, large and rolled inward, and stood in the middle like a small white jungle.

"This is the giant mushroom discovered in Luoqiping Village, Tengchong at the beginning of the year. We collected spores and replanted them. The volume was larger than the prototype. This plant is 103 cm tall, the largest cap is 37 cm in diameter, and the growth cycle is extremely short.

It only takes a few days to mature mycelium.”

“Is it edible?”

"Uh, we tried some, the taste was not very good, but it was confirmed to be non-toxic."

The person in charge waved his hand and sent a small plate of processed mushroom shreds. The old man didn't hesitate and picked up a few and chewed them in his mouth.

The mushroom shredded mushrooms were first slightly sweet, then a little numb, just like the feeling of accidentally cracking a peppercorn. After a moment, a soft and strong sensation came from another.

“Not bad, you can make the main course or season.”

The old man nodded, knew what was going on, and then turned to Area 2.

All the potatoes in this piece are potatoes, maybe n crumbs were planted, but this crumbs have not been harvested yet, they are all green seedlings. However, the expert brought several samples and said ashamed: "We have tried many times, but we still can't do it quickly

To increase the yield, the best batch of the per mu yield is about 1.4 tons. The alienated varieties we found are helpful in taste and have less obvious effects on the yield."

"You have done your best, don't worry."

The old man comforted him, and he was helpless.

Speaking of which, the United Nations has long listed potatoes as one of the four major staple foods and guaranteed its status in planting area and scientific research, but its situation in Xia State has always been embarrassing.

You should know that the staple food of 75% of key poverty alleviation counties in China are potatoes, but the government does not pay attention to it at all, has almost no project support, and it is constantly reducing the planting area.

Around 2005, the national potato planting area dropped sharply from 80 million mu to 60 million mu, and now it has only barely recovered to more than 80 million mu.

There is also output. The average yield per mu in Xia Country is 1 ton, which has been maintained for more than 30 years. However, foreign countries can reach more than two tons per mu, which is quite large.

The reason is that the domestic hybrid rice fruits are too brilliant, which to some extent cover up some crises.

"Don't worry, the country will introduce policies soon, I'll give you some clarification first."

The old man patted the expert on the shoulder and said: "From this year, potatoes will be included in the grain reserve system. It is planned to expand the planting area to 180 million mu within three years, increase the yield per mu to more than 2 tons, and promote it in full.

All kinds of foods mainly consist of potato full flour.”

Huh!

Overjoyed! As soon as this statement came out, all the experts present were excited.

The people don’t understand it, they know the significance too well: if they continue to develop according to the current environment, within a few years, the increase in grain demand in Xia’s country will reach more than 100 billion jin!

Due to the constraints of arable land resources and the influence of alienated varieties, the wheat family is expected to be completely destroyed, and the corn family survives. Only cute potatoes are cold-resistant, drought-resistant, barren-resistant, and are just around the corner.

Not to mention that potatoes are full of flour, not only can they make steamed buns, noodles, rice noodles, bread, etc., but also have a storage period of up to 15-20 years.

Wow, it's a rhythm that saves all mankind.

After seeing the potatoes, everyone accompanied the old man to inspect other scientific research areas, including poultry, livestock, forests, flowers and plants, as well as key crops such as cotton, sesame, sugarcane, rubber, etc.

The core is to collect alienated varieties from various places, cultivate and test, enhance quality or increase yield, all for future preparation.

For example, for meat food, experts have found that there is an alienated mouse and rabbit. The mouse has dark yellow fur and the rabbit has spots. It has tender meat and strong fertility. It has been widely distributed in the north and south provinces.

As expected, this creature named yellow-haired rat and spotted rabbit will be the main source of meat in the future.

After walking for more than a long time, there was still the last area left. Unlike other places, there was a large open rice field. An old man was wearing boots and rolling his legs in his trousers and was bent down to work in the field.

When the leader saw this, he suddenly became a little bit supreme, but the old man who was known as the contemporary Shennong family.

…………

To be honest, even if potatoes will play a major role in the future, the grain of Xia State is basically still rice. In the thirty-six provinces, except for Qingning Province, there are rice cultivation, and there are 198 million rice farmers nationwide, 7

More than 100 million people!

What proportion is this?

So no matter how difficult it is, the rice cannot be scrapped and must be overcome.

In fact, sometimes when you think about it, the government is also very complicated. The new era is coming soon, there are countless problems and are overwhelmed. But they are also very glad that it is not the sudden death law, and there is still enough time to prepare.

With the decrease in residence and the decrease in arable land, 90% of the population may be concentrated in urban agglomerations. The top priority is two things: food and housing.

If you have food to eat and a house to live in, you can maintain stability.

"Old Yuan, I'm not to hide it. The grain area of ​​Heishui Province is over!"

The leader retired from his subordinates and walked in the fields with the old man. When the other party was in power, he was already famous all over the country and had seen many big names, so he had no style.

"It's over?"

The old man was stunned and murmured: "That's 70 million tons of food!"

"Yes, 70 million tons! It's still snowing there and there is a trend of expansion. Some grain-producing areas have been occupied. We have taken soil samples. Even if the snow melts in the coming year, we can't cultivate it."

The leader paused and continued: "There is also the Dongting Lake area in southern Hunan. According to our observations, the lake water suddenly rose this year, and the lake area spread, which has affected many residents. It is estimated that it will continue to expand in the future, and the grain area there will be also

It's hard to protect."

The Xia State has nine major grain production bases: Taihu Plain, Dongting Lake Plain, Bashu Plain, Pearl River Delta, Jianghan Plain, Jianghuai Region, Poyang Lake Plain, Songnen Plain and Sanjiang Plain.

Now, I went there two!

“…”

The news was bad news, and the atmosphere was solemn. The two of them walked speechlessly. The leader suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, I am not complaining today, but mainly listening to your good news. You have been working hard for more than a year,

What are the results?"

"Since last year, you have found four alienated wild rice plants. We cultivated and cultivated them at the same time in four bases, and this has harvested another batch. Here are three acres of land, 1581 kg, 1529 kg and 1536 kg, an average of 1536 kg,

The yield per mu is 1548.66 kg. The other three are 1503 kg, 1538 kg and 1545 kg."

The old man is 87 years old, and his words are common to the old man, but he is clear-headed and organized, and he can easily learn about the many data on rice.

"The yield per mu is over 1,500?"

The chief was overjoyed and broke the world record. He hurriedly asked, "Is this the final result?"

"No, this is just rice No. 2, and there is still potential for improvement."

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say anything about the specifics. I don't know much about the current world, but according to this development, you may be able to find better wild rice. By then, there should be a greater breakthrough."

The words were quite tactful, but the leader was clear in his heart. I remember that when he was making big strides, he often talked about yielding tens of thousands of pounds per mu. It was really not a dream in the future!

He did not doubt the other party's words, and they created countless miracles. In ancient times, people wanted to enthrone gods and build temples.

"What about the sea rice? How is the harvest?" he asked again.

"According to the data from Jiaodong base, under the conditions of 3-8‰ seawater irrigation and planting, the output can reach 300 kilograms. We should be glad that the 280 million mu of saline-alkali land has not changed much, otherwise we can do nothing." The old man sighed.

.

"Okay, OK!"

The leader was so confused that he had been too upset in recent days, and finally had good news. If the sea rice technology is mature, based on 200-300 kilograms of saline-alkali land per mu, Xiaguo alone could increase the output of 50 billion kilograms of grain.

There are 14.3 billion mu of saline-alkali land all over the world!

It is not only beneficial to mankind, but also plays a huge role in the game, exchange of interests, and competition for discourse power.

There is a pessimistic trend in the domestic academic community now, believing that the power of science will gradually deteriorate when the spiritual energy is revived. As a result, the old man slapped rice in the face. Although science is temporarily useless to cultivation, it is still irreplaceable in terms of national economy and people's livelihood!

These rice are different from spiritual rice.

Ling rice has extremely high requirements for the environment. With current experience, only nodes can be planted. However, the yield of Ling rice is too small and its nature is too precious. It has classes and is destined to be specially supplied by the upper class.

After chatting for a long time, the two of them returned from the field.

Everyone was sent to the door. The old man was about to get on the car, but suddenly he turned around, held the old man's hand, and said, "Please give me!"

Then, another expert, "Please come on!"
