After appeasing everyone, Yang Xiaotao returned the things to his residence and then asked Mazi.
"Where's the racecourse owner?"
"Owner, I guess he's in the salt-alkali land right now."
Talking about the salt-alkali land, Mazi became more energetic, "Teacher Yang, you are really amazing."
"The seeds you brought were planted in the saline-alkali soil, and surprisingly, most of them grew. This is much better than ordinary corn."
"Really? Let's go and have a look."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao was ready to go out. He also wanted to see the growth of the 'blood jade'. If it was not satisfactory, he would have to reconsider.
Calling Wang Hao, the three of them rode out of the farm together and rushed all the way to the salt-alkali land.
Behind him, Mazi looked at the rifle on Yang Xiaotao's back, his eyes burning.
He already knew that this was a new gun issued by the army, but he didn't know where Yang Xiaotao got it.
"I'm jealous!"
Wang Hao was joking on the sidelines, feeling equally sour.
"Tsk, it's just a gun. I have a cannon, so who can play with it?"
Then he added two more whips and hurried after him.
Wang Hao choked, then curled his lips and said, "Then come out with your cannon on your back."
"I'm in a steel rolling mill, and I can still drive a 59."
Ahead, Yang Xiaotao slowed down, his horse's hooves advanced slowly on the gravel, and then he looked at the surrounding farmland.
Corns have emerged from the soil one after another, and their two long and narrow leaves absorb sunlight and perform photosynthesis.
As for the branches and stems, it will take some time to see them. This is the time when water is needed.
"This area is full of hybrids."
Mazi came forward and pointed at the mark left on the ground. Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and said, "Before pollination, the male flowers of the female parent must be removed in time, otherwise, the work will be in vain."
"Don't worry, we all did it last year. If we recruit some people next time and we all work together, there will be no problem."
"Well, be prepared."
Watching and giving instructions all the way, the two finally arrived at the saline-alkali area.
From afar, I saw seven or eight people standing on the edge of the field, watering the fields with ladles.
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, and Ma Sanxing also noticed the person coming.
"Teacher Yang, when did you come back?"
"Racecourse owner, I just came back today."
Yang Xiaotao focused on the saline-alkali land. Ma Sanxing smiled and pointed to the cornfield in front of him, "This kind of seed is really good."
"Look, as you go inward from here, the saline level becomes higher and higher, but these corns can grow."
"Look at the leaves. They are big and wide. They must be strong in their growth."
Ma Sanxing introduced it from the side, and Yang Xiaotao also stepped forward to observe the growth of corn.
Looking carefully, the ones grown here are thicker and darker than those grown in the courtyard, and the color is darker, a bit like cyan.
"Teacher Yang, where did you find such good seeds?"
"from here."
Yang Xiaotao pointed to his head. Ma Sanxing was amused and said with a smile, "You are joking again, but these seedlings will grow well, but I don't know what the harvest will be."
"Uncle Ma, no matter what the harvest is, it will definitely be more than the seeds you sow. By then, how much corn can be grown in such a large area of saline-alkali land?"
Mazi reminded from the side, and Ma Sanxing thought it was right. In the past, I wanted to plant but it didn't work. The harvest was not as much as the wasted seeds.
"Owner, you must be very careful with these seeds and store them separately to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Teacher Yang, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
Yang Xiaotao nodded. The racecourse owner is an old revolutionary no matter what. He naturally knows how to do these things.
After watching the saline-alkali land for a while, Yang Xiaotao simply rode his horse to look around to see the situation.
The three of them rode away, leaving streaks of smoke and dust on the ground.
Thousands of miles away in the northwest, a helicopter with a yellow lower part and a white upper part was hovering in the sky. At a height of more than ten meters, the wind pressure brought by the helicopter blew the grass seedlings below violently.
"Comrade pilot, please pull the plane higher, this will hurt our lovely seedlings of hope."
"I don't want to cause losses because of this and affect the inspection."
In the cockpit of the plane, a middle-aged Mediterranean man with a big belly said to the pilot, with a proud look on his face.
"Dear Professor, although I don't understand, from my point of view, these patches of green are the best results of the inspection."
The pilot replied humorously, but pulled the helicopter up and continued to fly forward.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man gave the driver a thumbs-up gesture and then walked into the cabin.
At this moment, there were two other people in the cabin. They also had fat bodies wearing white shirts and looked bloated.
One of them held a telescope and the other held a camera.
Keep looking outside through the glass.
"Gaert, I didn't expect that we would get together again this time."
The person who came in said to Geert who was holding a telescope. After speaking, he sat aside, took out a bottle of vodka from an iron box, and filled three glasses with ease.
Galt put down the telescope, looked at the visitor, and took the cup with a smile, "Olin, I didn't expect that the three of us would be reunited again."
As he said this, he looked at the person holding the camera and felt quite emotional.
They are the three agricultural experts who went to China for exchange last time.
Although the three people received a lot of 'education' there and their memories are not good, the benefits they gained were real.
Therefore, in the subconscious of the three people, they all selectively forgot about that 'journey'.
Now they are the most authoritative agriculturists and biologists in the alliance, and even in the genetic field, they are familiar to scientists from other countries because of the publication of papers.
What excites them even more is the emerald green on the dark land below the plane.
This is the hope of the alliance and their hope of being promoted to heroes of the alliance.
"Simon, let's have a drink to celebrate our reunion."
Olin took the wine glass and handed it to Simon, who was still filming.
"Oh, damn Orin, you always test me with vodka. Don't you know that Gassa doesn't like the taste of alcohol?"
Simon put down the camera and cursed, but took the wine glass.
Orin shook his head, "Gasa? Your new girlfriend?"
"No, it's my assistant."
"Oh my gosh, you have an assistant? Great mentor, that's not fair."
Simon laughed and took a big sip, "This vodka is quite tasty."
"Simon, are you not afraid of being smelled of alcohol?"
Galt suddenly joked, but Simon shook his head, "It's okay, I'll go to Dawa's tonight."
"Who is Dawa?"
"My other assistant."
"Oh, bastard Simon, you're not afraid of having all your body fat drained out."
Orin shouted jealously, Simon was more leisurely.
"Who asked you to choose genetic recombination in the first place?"
"Hmph, I still don't know if your genetic mutation is reliable. Now I always feel that we were deceived by that Chinese boy. Genetic mutation is simply uncontrollable. Only genetic recombination can be understood and controlled.
.”
"Olin, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. You should slowly suffer in the reorganization."
"Damn it Simon."
"alright!"
Galt interrupted the conversation between the two, then raised his glass, "For the alliance, for our friendship."
The two immediately laughed, "For our friendship."
boom
The three of them drank it all in one go.
"You two keep drinking, and I'll give the driver a drink."
After Orin finished speaking, he poured a glass of vodka and walked towards the driver.
The remaining two people didn't think it was inappropriate.
After all, the man who flies the plane is also a man from the Alliance.
The two looked at the emerald green below again.
"Lao Gai, there is a lot of planting this time. How much harvest do you expect?"
Simon held the camera to check the usage of the papers inside, while Galt stared at the dark land below without answering.
"Lao Gai!"
"To be honest, I don't know how many have been planted now."
Galt said helplessly, "I just told them how to plant the seeds, and these people just turned on the machine and planted it, alas!"
"Fortunately, the parents are bred separately, so you don't have to worry about improving the quality of the seeds."
Simon nodded silently after hearing this.
The helicopter flew for a while, and the ground below was still green, which showed how extensive the area planted this time was.
"By the way, Lao Gai, there is something I want to remind you."
Simon suddenly put down the camera and said seriously.
Galt turned around and looked at the patches of corn below, feeling quite empty.
"When I was studying genetic mutations, I discovered that in some special environments, environments that are different from natural conditions, in the process of adaptation, organisms will not only adjust their genomes, but even some special existences will appear."
Galt frowned, feeling even more disappointed, and then looked at Simon, "What do you want to say?"
Simon put the cup down, "I want to say that although the greenhouse technology you used simulates the natural environment, the simulation is only a simulation and cannot be natural and realistic. There are likely to be some unknown changes."
"Unknown changes? Genetic mutations?"
Galt's heart suddenly trembled. If this happens, the selection of superior breeds will be even more difficult.
"You can think so."
Simon nodded, but then smiled again.
"I'm just saying that it's possible."
"Don't worry. After all, you know that this possibility is really small."
Hearing this, Galt felt a palpitation in his heart, as if he was on warning, the kind of palpitations that one feels when facing death on the battlefield.
Then he shook his head, and Galt said to himself in a voice that he could only hear, "Yes, the chance is really very small."
But when I look at the green in the distance, it seems that the boundless green is devouring this fertile black land, and it is also devouring the heart of the alliance.
…
Da da da
Horse hooves were galloping in the wilderness. Yang Xiaotao was driving the horse, staring at the smoke and dust in front of him.
This is the fifth day since Yang Xiaotao came back.
In five days, I have become familiar with the corn situation in the surrounding farms. The seedlings in each farm are growing well. With the farmers' diligent watering, each one is growing green.
Yang Xiaotao also wrote these reports and handed them to his superiors.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao, the ‘blood jade’ that Wang Huzi specifically mentioned, also gave his own pertinent opinions, and further planting and observation are needed.
After handing in the report, the task is considered completed. Next, I will wait for my superiors to arrange when to go home.
After staying at the farm for a long time, instructing Gong Feng and others on how to repair the machinery, Yang Xiaotao called Wang Hao and Mazi out of the farm in the middle of the afternoon.
In the past few days, I have been running around various farms, and I have also discovered that there is a lot of "meat" here, especially during the farming season, when the seeds are planted on the ground, which are delicious to some birds and rabbits.
The only attitude on the farm towards these 'thieves' is to kill them.
Killing them not only saves the seeds in the ground, but also adds vegetables to the table.
At this time, there was a string of flying birds on Wang Hao's horse, seven or eight of them were killed by guns.
Bang bang
Two short shots sounded, and Yang Xiaotao put down the Type 63 in front of him, and the streak of smoke finally stopped, revealing a gray wild rabbit.
Mazi rode forward, leaned over and grabbed the rabbit from the ground.
"Teacher Yang, another one!"
Mazi rode back with two rabbits hanging on the horse.
"Haha, we can have a good meal today."
Mazi smiled, and Wang Hao came up behind him. The three of them were holding guns. The difference was that they both held 56 and a half.
