After tidying up the land outside, Yang Xiaotao washed up and then walked to the study to get down to business.
Study corn.
Before this, Yang Xiaotao had done research on the northwest farm and had some ideas.
But at that time, we were studying local salt-alkali-tolerant plants.
Take out a pen and paper and write down your previous thoughts.
Having the experience of hybridizing corn last time, he knew that things had to be done step by step, without rushing or making mistakes.
According to Yang Xiaotao's idea, the first step is to analyze the structure of corn grown on saline-alkali soil, and it is best to find out the differences.
This is the reason that controls the salt-alkali tolerance of corn.
If they found it directly, it would be easy to ask Xiaowei to improve these corns and then plant and breed them.
If you cannot find the direct cause, then look for objective factors, and then analyze and summarize the salt-alkali resistance factors to achieve the goal.
The last one, what Yang Xiaotao doesn't want to see the least, is that he can't find any factors to control.
If so, he could only find the answer from the salt-alkali-tolerant plants he brought back.
As for whether salt-alkali tolerant corn can be grown, Yang Xiaotao is very sure of this.
Because future generations have already given the answer.
I optimize the design plan, write and revise it, and sometimes I have to think about it. The whole person is thinking, and the notebook under my hand is quickly turned over while writing and drawing.
Time passed by second by second, and the alarm clock kept ringing.
Outside the yard, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at the bright lights through the reflection of the window from time to time, cursing in her heart, just hoping that Yang Xiaotao would go to bed early and not waste electricity money.
Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao was still thinking about the optimization plan after Jia Zhang couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up from the table, moved his waist, and then turned off the light.
In the middle of the night last night, I couldn't hold it back and fell asleep on my stomach. Fortunately, I was young and had a strong body, so it was okay to crawl all night.
After yawning and washing his face, Yang Xiaotao did some activities and made breakfast, then looked at the plan he wrote last night.
After reading page after page, I feel that the plan is good, but when it comes to implementing it, I still feel unsure.
After all, this time is different from hybrid corn.
After eating, tidying up, and going out to work, there is another lively day in the yard behind me.
In the next two days, Yang Xiaotao went to the steel rolling mill during the day, supplemented the experimental plan when he was free, and tinkered with it at night when he was busy.
On the first night, Yang Xiaotao had already started to implement the first plan, asking Xiaowei to check the difference between corn grown in saline-alkali land and ordinary corn.
After investigating a large amount of corn, according to Xiaowei's feedback, there are too many differences between the two corns.
It took Yang Xiaotao all night just to confirm the analysis and then record it. This was done with Xiaowei's help. If it were a simple experiment, it is estimated that with the current technology, it would not be possible to find out the control mechanism in ten or eight years.
One night, I just determined the places where the energy distribution was different, and then marked the letters after communicating with Xiaowei.
The next night, Yang Xiaotao asked Xiaowei to find the similarities between salt-alkali-resistant corn and salt-alkali-resistant plants.
This stumped Xiaowei. The two were not the same plant, so it was very difficult to find them.
Fortunately, Xiaowei already had "work experience" when she was in the northwest. After repeated confirmation, she found a few things in common. As for whether there were others, Yang Xiaotao didn't know.
However, these two nights, the lights at Yang Xiaotao's house stayed on until very late, so the opportunity that Jia Zhang had been waiting for never came.
She couldn't believe Yang Xiaotao's character, especially how he treated their family!
If Yang Xiaotao saw her, with his open heart, he would definitely report her.
So, all we can do is continue to wait.
Friday night, half past eleven.
Yang Xiaotao looked at the drawings on the table. This was a cross-section of salt-alkali tolerant corn drawn by Yang Xiaotao. There were several points marked on it. There was also a cross-section of Populus euphratica seeds next to it.
"here?"
"Boohoo!"
"Where else?"
"Boohoo!"
Yang Xiaotao took a pen and paper and highlighted three places with Xiaowei's confirmation.
These three places are where Xiaowei found after many comparisons that the energy of salt-alkali resistant corn and Populus euphratica seeds are the same, but different from the energy of ordinary corn.
Yang Xiaotao believes that there must be some kind of connection between these three people. The probability of such a special situation being the same and different at the same time is so high.
Perhaps, this is the key to breaking the situation.
After several nights of fighting, Yang Xiaotao was in an absolute state of excitement.
It seems that what is recognized in the consciousness is correct.
He himself found that something was wrong, but he had no other idea but to proceed with this.
Looking at the drawings on the table, Yang Xiaotao calmed down and recorded these three places and named them P(A), P(B), and P(C).
When everything was completed, it was already two o'clock. Yang Xiaotao moved his sore neck, put the materials back into space, and then went to bed to rest.
The next day, Saturday, Yang Xiaotao came to the steel rolling mill with dark circles under his eyes.
Everyone who sees Yang Xiaotao is used to this appearance these days. The energetic young man who usually always takes care of himself finally has the simple look that a revolutionary worker should have.
If it weren't for Yang Youning and others until Ran Qiuye returned to Yangjiazhuang, they would definitely have stepped forward to teach young people not to be arrogant and to be restrained.
dong dong
"Please come in!"
Here, Yang Xiaotao had just sat down in the office, twirling the pencil with his fingers and looking at the plan on the notebook in front of him, when there was a knock on the door.
I wrote this all morning.
"Xiao Tao!"
After the door closed, Yang Xiaotao looked up and saw Wang Guodong, then glanced aside. They were the only ones in the room.
"Uncle Wang!"
After saying that, he stood up and yawned. His eyes were blurred by tears and he rubbed them with his hands.
"Hey, busy."
"Fortunately, I just got some ideas."
Wang Guodong picked up the cigarette and Yang Xiaotao took it. The two chatted for a while, and then Wang Guodong came forward with a smile.
"Xiao Tao, do you still have the wine you brought back last time?"
"liquor?"
"Yes, you came back from a business trip to the northwest and gave me a bottle."
Wang Guodong said, rubbing his palms together, feeling a little excited.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Northwest?" Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered what was going on, "Uncle Wang, you can't be..."
Wang Guodong quickly reached out and covered Yang Xiaotao's mouth, "Keep your voice down."
After looking at the door to make sure there was no one there, he said helplessly, "You don't know, your aunt, at such a wolf-like age, plus she uses it too much, she can't even be made of iron!"
"I understand, understand, men are inherently at a disadvantage in this matter."
Wang Guodong patted Yang Xiaotao's arm gratefully.
"Recently, there are some things that I can't hide from forever, you understand."
"understand."
"So, do you still have that wine?"
"Gone!"
Yang Xiaotao spread his hands and said, "If you had told me in advance, you could still keep one bottle, but..."
"But what happened?"
Yang Xiaotao came up and muttered something in a low voice. Wang Guodong looked surprised, and then collapsed again.
"I didn't expect this guy, Lao Yang, to start so early."
dong dong
Just as Wang Guodong finished speaking, the knock on the door rang again. This time, before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Yang Youning opened the door and came in.
Wang Guodong was talking about Yang Youning a second ago, but now he came in and looked a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Yang Youning didn't pay attention. He just glanced and focused on Yang Xiaotao. His whole body was in joy, and he spoke with a smile, "I just received a call from Lao Liu. The plan you submitted has been approved."
Already."
"Passed?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast and easy."
Hahaha
Yang Youning laughed for a while, then clapped his hands and sighed, "However, this fully shows that the electric pressure cooker we make is very popular!"
"Xiao Tao, you did a good job in this matter!"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly became energetic and said, "We are all serving the people. There is no such thing as good or bad, we just try our best."
"Well, you're right, just try your best."
Yang Youning agreed very much after hearing this. After all, sometimes trying your best may not necessarily do well, but the proportion of failure is obviously greater.
Just like him, he has done many things, but...
People like Yang Xiaotao are rare.
"So what's going on now?"
"According to Lao Liu, the superiors value the potential and development prospects of electric pressure cookers and want to improve them as soon as possible and then sell them abroad."
"According to the news from comrades abroad, of the hundreds of pressure cookers we sold a few days ago, half of them were cut off by the government, and the rest went to the private sector, and the response was very good."
“There is a strong tendency to increase the size!”
"The superiors were very satisfied with the machine we sent after using it. However, considering the situation in other countries and long-term considerations, we must continue to improve and innovate, so the leader wants us to continue working on it."
"Lao Liu said that the superiors are ready to contact several units across the country to establish a joint production. The structure of the components involved will be designed as soon as possible to ensure production."
Yang Youning was so excited that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. In this joint production, to be honest, their steel rolling mill was the leader.
"There will be a meeting and a general meeting later."
"You two come early!"
Yang Youning left excitedly. He wanted to go back and compile some speech materials, which he would use later.
Wang Guodong watched Yang Youning leave and then came back to his senses.
The two of them spoke a bit too fast just now, and I got a rough idea while still in a daze.
"Xiao Tao, what are you talking about?"
"Uncle Wang, I guess the electric pressure cooker is about to be built. I'll have a meeting soon."
"Okay, by the way, you didn't finish what you said just now."
Yang Xiaotao came to his senses and said, "This time I will go to the northwest to have a look. If I can get some, I will bring you some."
"Okay, but if you really don't have it, there's no need to force it. Just try your best."
"I know!"
After Wang Guodong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement.
In fact, there are two boxes of Little Blue Medicine in Yang Xiaotao's space, but they are difficult to explain.
It would be even more troublesome if it were revealed.
When it comes to the fundamental issues of men, some people cannot be reasonable.
"However, this thing is quite useful."
After thinking for a moment, Lou Xiao'e walked in with a stack of orders in her hand.
"Director, there have been a lot fewer tractor orders recently."
"Huh? What's going on?"
Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised to hear Lou Xiao'e say this. It is now the busy time of farming, and land preparation is required everywhere, so tractors are naturally of great use.
Agriculture is not a trivial matter. The relevant departments will definitely encourage farming and distribute machines. The demand for tractors will only increase. How can there be less?
Then Lou Xiao'e put the document on the table and said, "Look."
"This is an order from December last year, this is an order from January to March."
Yang Xiaotao picked it up and glanced at it, then found a piece of paper and unfolded it. The horizontal and vertical axes were drawn, with the month below and the number of orders above.
Then connect the corresponding points above, and an underline appears instantly.
Although there is not much difference in the number between each node, from December to March, the overall order volume decreased by 10%.
"I didn't feel it at first, but when I was sorting out the inventory today, I felt something was wrong."
"In the past, there wasn't much material left in the purchase every month, but these few months, there was a lot left over with the same purchase quantity. Then I took a look at the order volume, and found that the materials distributed by my superiors every month
They are all decreasing.”
Lou Xiao'e explained, Yang Xiaotao looked at the declining order, thought for a moment and then put it down.
"It seems that the local area has fully understood the steam engine technology, and now they are here to grab the cake."
"You mean other factories?"
Lou Xiao'e understood the truth after hearing a little bit, but this matter involved the control of her superiors, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Yes! It's been so long, and if you can't get it out again, it's really useless!"
