Just as the uncle and his uncle were rushing to Guangdong by car, Yang Xiaotao was also riding in the car and arrived in Chaoyang.
"When I came here last time, the surrounding area was still green."
"Now, the ground is full of golden color!"
Yang Xiaotao sat in the passenger seat and looked at the fields on both sides of the road. Not far away, there were people starting to harvest in the fields.
Xiaobo drove the car and just nodded after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said.
He has been in the north, and this is the first time he has seen this kind of water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
It’s just that with so much food grown, there must be a lot to be harvested.
With food, people no longer need to go hungry!
"Do you feel like there's a lot of food?"
As if he could see what Xiaobo was thinking, Yang Xiaotao spoke softly from the side.
Xiaobo nodded, "Yes, there is so much food!"
"Is it much?"
Yang Xiaotao asked with a smile.
Xiaobo frowned. He didn't know much about the field. He just held the steering wheel tightly and waited for Yang Xiaotao to speak.
“Farming is a technical job!”
"Our country has thousands of years of history and has its own mature farming methods. Even each place has its own unique habits!"
"People plant crops according to the weather and then enjoy the gifts of the land!"
Xiaobo nodded and said nothing. This is something that everyone has been familiar with since ancient times.
But what Yang Xiaotao said next shocked him.
Just listen to Yang Xiaotao say, "But there is a limit to this kind of grabbing!"
"Just like the fields you see, no matter how good the farmer is, one acre of land can only produce about three hundred kilograms of grain!"
"And how much land can a strong laborer cultivate in one year?"
"Ten acres? Twenty acres?"
"For a family of three, ten acres of land a year is only three thousand kilograms of grain."
"Then the public grains handed over are removed, and the remaining grains sold to the state are thrown away."
"It would be good if a family can have three to five hundred catties left."
"This is still a good time, but if there is a natural or man-made disaster, if the weather is bad or the weather is bad, the whole family will starve!"
Xiaobo continued to remain silent after hearing this.
Because what Yang Xiaotao said is true.
Just like the great famine three years ago.
Although he did not visit the countryside, the situation in the city was tense, let alone the countryside.
"Then, how to increase the food supply?"
Xiaobo asked, Yang Xiaotao stretched his body with his hands behind his head.
"Two ways!"
Yang Xiaotao stretched out two fingers.
"First, the power of science, such as using chemical fertilizers, using herbicides, using greenhouse films, etc.!"
"This method can increase the soil's carrying capacity and reduce weed competition for nutrients..."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Xiaobo saw potholes on the dirt road ahead, slowed down, and asked immediately.
"Then the second one is the cross-breeding you mentioned, just like your Yangcun No. 1 corn, right?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Yes, that's it!"
"Hybrid corn, the dominant species, thus obtaining higher yields!"
Then he sat upright and held the handle to keep steady, "I once told the chief that high-yielding corn can solve the food problem in the north."
"The hybrid rice here can solve the country's food problems."
Xiaobo's heart trembled and he took a breath of cold air.
In the previous sentence, Yang Xiaotao has proved with practical actions that the emergence of Yangcun No. 1 has enriched the food supplies of the people in the north.
Even the corn grain exported can earn a large amount of foreign exchange every year.
And the last sentence...
Most of the country's population is concentrated in the Jiangnan area!
Thinking of this, I became more and more curious about the hybrid rice I was about to see.
Yang Xiaotao knew that he was shocked when Xiaobo didn't say anything, but he was so confused.
When super rice comes out in the future, the yield will be more than three times, not to mention thirty times!
"So, no one can destroy such a good thing and such an important thing!"
Xiaobo tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said in a solemn tone, "Whoever dares to reach out will be chopped into pieces!"
Behind, on the jeep.
Hao Pingchuan leaned back in his chair while Wang Hao drove the car.
Originally, the four of them could drive one car, but considering the car problem, they decided to order two.
For this purpose, a barrel of gasoline is also carried in the bucket.
"Captain Hao, were you here last time?"
Wang Hao asked as he followed the car in front.
Hao Pingchuan hummed, "I came here with Director Yu last time. That time, I met a group of unruly people and almost got into trouble!"
Hao Pingchuan thought of what happened last time and couldn't help but sigh, "If it hadn't happened last time, it would have happened long ago!"
"It's all those bastards!"
Hao Pingchuan thought about the enemy he was facing and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Then he explained what happened last time, and Wang Hao couldn't help but be speechless.
I don't understand why people in this village do this.
If we leave it in Sijiu City, I heard that there are such good grain seeds, why would it be too late to take care of them?
"They have been deceived by others, so education must continue, otherwise you will not know the good or the bad, and it will be easy to do stupid things and bad things!"
"That's right!"
Wang Hao agreed, remembering that Yang Xiaotao forced them to endorse in the factory, and he admired Yang Xiaotao's foresight even more.
If they don't endorse it, they might become "accomplices".
"By the way, I heard Mr. Yang talk a lot about hybrid rice. Is this the same as hybrid corn?"
"How much do you think the output can be increased?"
Wang Hao asked, he has also been to the northwest in recent years, has seen the situation of hybrid corn, and understands the benefits that the emergence of hybrid corn has brought to them.
At least after paying over the public surplus grain, people in the surrounding villages won’t have to eat wild vegetables and go hungry for the whole year!
I just don’t know if this hybrid rice can be the same as hybrid corn.
Hao Pingchuan was a little numb to Wang Hao's question. He really didn't know about it.
"Well, how much does your hybrid corn increase the yield? Do you know?"
"Hey, I really know this. I have followed Mr. Yang to the northwest several times in the past two years, and I have also been to Yangjiacun several times."
"This is ordinary corn. The cobs are small and the grains are small. The best land can only produce 356 kilograms per mu, and the average land yield is about 300 kilograms!"
"This Yangcun No. 1, even an ordinary piece of land weighs six to seven hundred kilograms, and a better one can weigh over a thousand kilograms!"
After Wang Hao finished speaking, Hao Pingchuan moved his fingers and his heart trembled.
The last time he protected Yang Xiaotao in Shanghai, he didn't feel anything. But now that he heard what Wang Hao said, he understood how important what Yang Xiaotao did was.
Let’s increase the yield per mu by two or three times.
This is equivalent to increasing the national food supply by two or three times for nothing.
Calculated this way, the family originally had enough food for half a year, but now there is still enough left over after a year to support one more child.
Having come out of those difficult times, he naturally knows the feeling of not having enough to eat, and has also seen the tragic situation of brothers and sisters starving to death!
"So this hybrid rice, even if it is only doubled, is a major event that will benefit the country and the people!"
"We have to take good care of him and protect him!"
Hao Pingchuan suddenly spoke something irrelevant, but Wang Hao understood the meaning.
This good thing is just like a machine tool in a machine factory. Who knows?
The jeep drove on the winding road for more than an hour. Thanks to the good maintenance of these vehicles, the chain did not fall off at the critical moment.
During this period, we encountered three checkpoints, all of which were checking people coming and going.
Obviously, the protective force around the experimental field was deliberately increased.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived in the town.
As soon as he got off the bus, Yang Xiaotao saw two people walking towards him not far away.
It’s not Teacher Yuan, Yu Hua or anyone else.
Yang Xiaotao jumped out of the car and walked up.
"Brother Yuan!"
"Brother Yang!"
The two were very happy to meet each other, "On behalf of the comrades of the research group, I welcome you!"
Yang Xiaotao patted Teacher Yuan's arm, "I'm here. I can't help with anything else. I'm just here to witness history."
"But your brother is in trouble again!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Teacher Yuan who was on his shoulder and couldn't help but joke.
Teacher Yuan smiled happily and said, "It's better to be darker. There are no farmers who are not black!"
Then he looked at Xiaobo and the others, "It's not normal if you're not black!"
While he was talking, Xiao Bo and Wang Hao looked at him in a loose white coat, with mud still stuck to his calves under his rolled-up trouser legs, a bamboo hat hanging on his back, and a rope around his neck, making him look like an old country farmer.
Hao Pingchuan had met Teacher Yuan and was not surprised by his appearance.
The two of them were shocked when they saw this. They didn't look like researchers.
At the very least, he has to be like Yang Xiaotao, with a bit of bookishness about him!
When the two of them saw Teacher Yuan looking over, they smiled and nodded.
Don't worry about anything else, this is the person that Mr. Yang values and Brother Yuan has called on. This is a treatment that Guan Zhiyong, Sun Guo and others do not have!
Yang Xiaotao looked at Yu Hua again.
"Teacher Yang!"
"Okay, your body has recovered well. I heard that you and An Ran are about to have a baby?"
"Okay, I got the senior sister, it's amazing!"
"By the way, she didn't bully you after getting married, right?"
Yu Hua still looked honest, smiling at Yang Xiaotao's jokes.
"It's okay, Senior Sister An Ran is still very gentle!"
After saying this, Teacher Yuan started laughing first.
Your own students know this for themselves.
That girl An Ran is completely boyish.
Yu Hua is an honest boy.
Sometimes I really wish they could change their temperaments.
But that's okay, at least someone can tolerate that girl An Ran.
Teacher Yuan smiled, Yu Hua looked even more embarrassed, but Yang Xiaotao went up the mountain and put his arms around his shoulders, "It seems that An Ran's tenderness has been given to you!"
As the words fell, there was laughter again.
After everyone had met, they got in the car and headed to the base together.
In the car, Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan were sitting in the back seat, Xiaobo was driving, and Yu Hua was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Brother Yang, I didn't take care of it last time I came here, but this time I specially left a pond of rice field fish for you!"
After Teacher Yuan finished speaking, Yu Hua also turned around and said, "Last time we released the water, the teacher told me to keep this fish until you come!"
Yang Xiaotao patted Teacher Yuan's arm and said, "If you are serious, I must eat this fish!"
"By the way, has the thresher I mentioned last time arrived?"
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
Teacher Yuan said happily, "When the machine was delivered to our base, people from the surrounding villages came to see it!"
"In the past two days, we took it out to the next village and used it. Good guy, it's so fast!"
Teacher Yuan stretched out his hand and gestured, as if imitating the falling rice.
"As long as it's easy to use, it's now produced all over the country. After a while, this thing will be popular, at least one in every village."
Teacher Yuan was very happy after hearing this. This can save time and effort!
"Teacher Yang, we heard that you made that machine? It's so powerful. It took only two days for one machine to thresh all the rice in the village."
"If we had such a good machine, we wouldn't have to work so hard!"
Yu Hua turned around and said, Yang Xiaotao patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, there will be better machines in the future."
“When the time comes, sowing and harvesting can be done by just one person!”
"Really? Is there such a machine?"
"That's still fake! Don't look at what I do, a glorious revolutionary worker!"
"Then, how much land can we cultivate?"
Teacher Yuan also laughed after hearing this, "Of course we can plant as much land as we have!"
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the base.
When everyone got out of the car, Yang Xiaotao saw Squad Leader Wang who was escorting him last time.
However, it should be Captain Wang at this time.
Since the last assassination incident, the security here has doubled.
Monitor Wang became Captain Wang, who was responsible for the safety of the institute.
"Team Yang!"
Team Wang stepped forward and called them according to the relationship between the three places.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to shake hands, and Team Wang shook his head, "It's not hard work. Seeing the comrades working hard, we all feel it's worth it!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded and encouraged him again, and then met with the researchers at the base.
Team Wang, Hao Pingchuan and Xiaobo came to the side and started communicating.
The more critical the moment, the more vigilant you must be!
Yang Xiaotao met the researcher one by one.
It was An Ran's turn. Looking at her big belly, she looked like a lady.
The two met before, and Yang Xiaotao presented the gifts that he had prepared before departure, including milk powder for children and some supplements.
Everyone saw it, and then they enthusiastically let a few people into the house.
