At this exciting moment, there is no difference in status between everyone, and some just want to take a closer look and taste what this artificial starch looks like!
In fact, Professor Zhou is quite good at being sociable.
He asked some of his disciples to put some artificial starch on a plate for everyone to taste.
Well, actually, the taste of this artificial starch is not much different from potato flour or sweet potato flour.
In fact, it is all starch, but potato flour and sweet potato flour contain some more vitamins and the like.
Later, the chefs in the factory cafeteria even mixed some gluten flour with artificial starch to make steamed buns.
And these freshly baked steamed buns have received unanimous praise from everyone.
As for why not use pure starch to make food?
This is about talking about the limitations of making food from pure starch.
Although starch can be cooked and eaten directly after being made into food.
But pure starch and flour are two different concepts.
Flour is composed of starch, gluten protein and other substances. When made into food, it tastes different from pure starch.
Under such circumstances, the starch produced by this factory is actually sold to some chemical plants that need starch.
For example, it is used to produce industrial alcohol, used to produce glucose, etc.
Of course, this is amazing enough for people from Xuanyan Country and even other countries!
Many countries have even sent special envoys to Xuan Yan to purchase this technology or invite small smart equipment companies to build starch factories in their own countries.
After all, this thing is too buggy.
Regardless of taste, vitamins, etc., a small starch factory can produce 300,000 tons of starch a year!
What is this concept?
To put it simply, one acre of rice grown in a low-yield field can harvest about 800 kilograms in one season, and a high-yield field can harvest 1,000 kilograms.
If hybrid rice is used, the maximum weight can be 1,600 kilograms.
Calculating based on the average of 1,200 kilograms, 300,000 tons of starch is the output of rice grown on 500,000 acres of land in one season!
And Fang Xiaoyue is busy buying land in Binhai City and other places to build three very large starch factories.
The annual output of each super-large starch factory will reach more than 10 million tons!
This is the rice production of 50 million acres of fields!
You must know that the total cultivated land area of Xuanyan Kingdom is only 2.1 billion acres.
The output of these three super factories is equivalent to one-fortieth of the country's arable land.
Compared with agricultural production, building a factory is undoubtedly much faster and more convenient.
Just imagine it. If one hundred super factories are built, the food output of Xuanyan Country will more than double!
What a feat!
As for pure starch without vitamins and other nutrients, it is easy to solve it. Isn’t it enough to add vitamins, protein powder, and trace elements to pure starch?
You can also use it to make steamed buns, steamed buns, and noodles!
In fact, other countries attach no less importance to food production security than Xuanyan does.
It's just that these countries had no solution before. They either did not have sufficiently advanced seed technology, or did not have advanced agricultural farming technology, or large areas of land were not suitable for farming.
On this planet, at least 20% of the population is hungry or malnourished all year round.
Xuan Yanguo wants to promote this technology, but there is a relationship of interest between countries. It's not like you say a few nice things to me, and I just hand it over to you stupidly.
This requires negotiation.
And negotiations also take time.
Just when hundreds of countries were sending special envoys to negotiate with Xuan Yanguo officials, Fang Xiaoyue called Professor Zhou and others back to the laboratory.
Professor Zhou and others were traveling to various places at this time to receive various honors.
No way, the industrialization of artificial starch is too important.
As I said before, solving hunger is never a trivial matter!
In Fang Xiaoyue's original world, Grandpa Yuan developed hybrid rice and was known as the God of Agriculture.
Of course, Professor Zhou and others were not dissatisfied after being called back.
The dissatisfied one is Fang Xiaoyue!
He felt that it was just artificial starch and it was completely impossible to meet the situation that would arise after a disaster broke out in the future.
But after he thought about it for a long time, he felt that it would be too troublesome to study just what he was missing.
After all, the products produced in the factory are all unique.
To put it simply, in addition to carbohydrates that cannot be synthesized by themselves, there are 8 types of amino acids that cannot be synthesized by themselves.
In addition, there are various trace elements.
In addition, even if these things are synthesized and produced in factories, their taste is indescribable.
So after thinking for a long time, he decided to find a shortcut by starting with the ability to create living creatures!
He called Professor Zhou and others back just to make them ready. After all, if they wandered out for a long time and became wild, it would be difficult for them to return to the laboratory to carry out arduous experimental work.
After arranging Professor Zhou and others, Fang Xiaoyue returned to the space station.
The Ferris wheel-shaped zoo more than 3,000 kilometers away from the space station is where he creates creatures.
For this reason, he temporarily closed the zoo.
There are hundreds of strange creatures in the zoo.
What Fang Xiaoyue wants to create now is a plant.
This kind of plant has never appeared in this world, which meets the requirements for the ability to create living creatures.
To put it bluntly, this plant is a plant from myths and legends in Fang Xiaoyue's original world.
Muhe!
When this thing matures, it will be five feet high and five people wide enough to surround it. It is like a big tree with countless rice tendons hanging down from the trunk, one on each ear, about more than ten feet long.
It is said that this kind of wood grass also produces rice, but the rice is about five inches long, three inches wide, and round in shape. Just one grain of rice, cooked and eaten, can keep you from hunger for a year!
In short, this is the crop in myths and legends.
Fang Xiaoyue's ability to create living creatures was also strengthened three times at this time, so it only took half an hour to create the legendary Muhe seeds.
However, even the wooden crops that he created with maximum strength still have some differences from the wooden crops in myths and legends.
The first is the block.
The created Muhe seeds are only ten centimeters long, which is just over 3 inches, and 6 centimeters wide, which is only 2 inches.
Of course, even so, this guy is still considered a giant in the rice world, and looks almost like a mango.
After Fang Xiaoyue created the muhe seeds, he immediately sent them to the surface and rented ten acres of land for planting.
Since it was already winter, he even built a large greenhouse for Mu He. He placed more than a dozen humidifiers and small suns in the greenhouse to raise the temperature inside the greenhouse to above 25 degrees and provide it with the needs for its growth.
of sunshine.
What he didn't expect was that after the first generation of muhe seeds were planted, they grew extremely fast.
In just two days, the mulberry sprouts sprouted out.
Within a week, the muhe grew into a small tree about three meters high.
Half a month later, the wood grass grew into a big tree about eight meters tall, with green rice ears hanging down like a huge willow tree.
In order to prevent accidents, Fang Xiaoyue set up a tent next to the field with Professor Zhou and others, and tested the wooden crops every day.
No way, this muhe seed is too precious.
Fang Xiaoyue consumed a huge amount of golden light points to create such one.
If one accidentally fails to take care of it and dies, it will be very difficult to create the same seed again.
Because of this ability to create living creatures, sometimes it can create a large number of the same species, such as feathered snakes, but sometimes it can only create a single individual.
Under such circumstances, if you want to create the same individual again, the cost will increase exponentially.
Fang Xiaoyue would rather create other plants in myths and legends than create Muhe again.
Because of this, actions such as sampling and testing crops in the past will not be allowed at this time.
It was not until a month later that the rice ears on the wooden stalks were completely mature and turned golden, that Fang Xiaoyue took Professor Zhou and others to pick all the rice ears themselves.
To be honest, Professor Zhou and others were still shocked by this exaggeratedly huge rice tree.
Of course, even if they had many guesses in their minds, they did not dare to ask Fang Xiaoyue about the origin of this rice seed.
Just such a tree finally produced three thousand kilograms of seeds.
There is no doubt that its yield has far exceeded that of all current rice varieties.
Because one acre of land can plant three trees of wood grass!
This means that the yield per mu is as high as 9,000 kilograms!
Afterwards, Professor Zhou and others took some seeds and returned to the laboratory to conduct comprehensive tests and tests on them.
The end result is that this rice contains all the amino acids needed by the human body, is extremely rich in protein, and contains a variety of trace elements.
In short, the data on the laboratory test sheet shows that its nutritional value is very high.
Later, Fang Xiaoyue actually cooked a pot of rice with the rice and entertained Professor Zhou and others.
Although Professor Zhou and others feel a little heartbroken, after all, there are only 9,000 kilograms of rice seeds now. If they want to promote it, the loss of every kilogram of seeds means that there will be many fields without seeds in the future.
But when they thought that the taste of food was also more important, they picked up their rice bowls.
And the taste of this muhe rice is beyond their imagination.
To put it simply, when they eat this kind of muhe rice, they feel as if they are eating meat.
The most important thing is that after eating the muhe rice, some of their previous minor physical problems were cured. Even one researcher's lumbar disc herniation was mostly recovered.
And for the next three days, he didn't feel hungry, and his body didn't feel weak from not eating.
Rare treasure!
This is Professor Zhou’s definition of Muhe!
Just think about it and you will know that it can cure diseases, tastes great, and can be used for three days in one meal. The seeds can also be promoted and planted in large quantities so that everyone can eat it!
What is this if not a rare treasure?
Under such circumstances, Professor Zhou and others were even more excited than before when synthetic starch was officially put into production. They all urged to plant these seeds immediately in order to produce more seeds.
After all, the entire Xuanyan Kingdom has 2.1 billion acres of arable land, and 1.3 billion acres of paddy fields capable of growing rice.
If all these 1.3 billion acres of paddy fields can be planted with wood crops, supplying the entire world, let alone Xuanyan Country, will not be a problem.
In fact, just after the results of the yield per mu of 9,000 kilograms came out, the news leaked out.
This is not surprising. The paddy field rented by Fang Xiaoyue also has an owner. The nearby villagers and people in the township are very interested in this kind of rice that looks like a big tree.
So not long after, the Agricultural Research Institute under the National Academy of Sciences of Xuanyan State sent people to contact Xiaoxiao Smart Equipment Company, and the focus of their discussion was this kind of rice tree!
Fang Xiaoyue did not hide anything about this.
After all, it is too difficult for private companies to promote this kind of wood grass.
It would be more convenient and faster for the state to come forward.
After receiving Muhe's data report, the entire Agricultural Research Institute was excited.
Although this small smart equipment company had previously developed the industrial production of synthetic starch, this had little to do with agricultural research.
But this time Muhe was different.
This is completely a major breakthrough in crop varieties.
So soon, a large group of big guys in the agricultural research field swarmed to Longtou Town under the jurisdiction of Binhai City.
The field that Fang Xiaoyue rented was here, and because Professor Zhou and others were extremely motivated to work, the rented field at this time increased from the previous ten acres to three hundred acres.
Even if three hundred acres of paddy fields were planted with this kind of wood, the nine thousand kilograms of seeds would not be consumed.
But here comes the problem, this is already the upper limit of land contracting allowed in Longtou Town.
This group of big guys in the field of agricultural research made a decision after squatting in the field to study the seedlings of the woodland grass for a while. They approached Professor Zhou one by one to buy the seeds and planned to take them back for research.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Professor Zhou expressed the problem that the seed field area was too small.
After all, Fang Xiaoyue gave Professor Zhou instructions on this series of things before returning to the space station.
It doesn’t matter whether this thing makes money or not, but it must be promoted.
After all, even if all nine thousand kilograms of seeds are planted, it will probably take a long time to spread it nationwide.
In fact, after the second-generation Muhe seeds were planted, Fang Xiaoyue discovered that their growth rate was much slower than that of the first-generation seeds.
The first generation of seeds will germinate in two days, grow into a small tree in one week, and produce ears of rice in half a month.
It only took four days for the second-generation seeds to germinate and emerge from the soil. It has now been ten days and they have not yet grown into a small tree.
Of course, even so, the growth rate of these second-generation seeds is much faster than that of existing rice varieties.
As for whether the subsequent third-generation seeds will slow down the growth rate?
Fang Xiaoyue thinks that basically it won't happen. Even if the growth rate is slowed down, it won't be too slow, at least it will be much faster than other rice varieties.
