In an experimental field not far from Yan'an, usually only one company of the Eighth Route Army is responsible for patrolling and guarding, but today was a surprising exception.
Early in the morning, the headquarters security group appeared outside the experimental field.
The experimental field was surrounded by squads so tightly that not a single fly could enter.
In a row of laboratories next to the experimental field, dozens of agricultural experts and students gathered together, like recruits waiting for review, nervous and expectant.
It has been three years, they have stayed in this barren and dry land for three years, and now it is time to test the results of everyone's three years of hard work.
"Professor Wang, do you think our hybrid experiment will be successful this time? Although the hybrid experiments in the previous two years did not fail, the increase in grain yield was very limited, which is equivalent to a failure. I am really afraid of this hybrid experiment.
It also failed!”
"It will definitely succeed!" Professor Wang, standing in front of everyone, answered with certainty.
However, everyone still felt that Professor Wang did not have much confidence when he said this.
The hybrid experiment is too unfamiliar to them. Although they have been based on the experiment for more than two years, they have carefully selected the hybrid varieties this time. But until the final results come out, no one is sure!
"I hope so!" replied another professor.
"I heard from the guard team that the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and commander-in-chief will be here soon. Don't let anything happen, otherwise this joke will become a big deal!"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a joke or not. As long as it's an experiment, it may fail. I believe those leaders can understand it!" Professor Wang, who is in charge of the entire experimental field, replied.
"The person I feel most sorry for is Captain Wang. For this experimental field and for our experiments, he has invested nearly 100,000 yuan in us in the past three years, which is almost his entire worth. If there are no results, I will
I’m too embarrassed to see him!”
"Don't you all know that in order to support our research, Captain Wang's various incomes in the past few years, including various subsidies given to him by Yan'an, have all been invested in us!"
"As far as I know, Commander Wang's wife, Comrade Ouyang, even though she is now the head of the border region government, still lives with her parents in a dilapidated cave dwelling because she has no money!"
"Captain Wang trusts us and spares no effort to support us. We must make results to give him a reward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard guarding the door of the laboratory rushed in.
"Professor Wang, the chief and others are almost at the door!"
"Everyone goes to greet us!" Professor Wang decided.
After taking a deep breath, he was the first to walk out of the laboratory.
As soon as we reached the door, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief and a dozen people also came over.
"Hello, Chief, welcome to the experimental field~"
The commander-in-chief waved his hand and interrupted: "Professor Wang, there is no need to say polite words. What I want to see most now is your experimental results!"
"What you are doing now is a great event that will be famous and will last forever. Once successful, your names will definitely be remembered by everyone in the country!"
"Let's go directly to your experimental field to prepare for harvesting. Several leaders and I will keep an eye on it in person to give you a testimony!"
"Yes, Chief!" Professor Wang hesitated and replied.
Although the experimental field is very large, since nearly ten types of grains are grown, each type of grain only covers an average of two acres.
As the commander-in-chief watched, a dozen students, each armed with a sickle, rushed into the experimental field and began to harvest the wheat that was to be inspected today.
Some students moved the threshing machine directly into the field. The students in front had just harvested and they started threshing.
In less than half an hour, one acre of wheat was harvested and threshed.
Professor Wang, who couldn't wait any longer, rushed directly to the field, helped the students pack the bags, and then weighed them to calculate the weight.
The commander-in-chief who had been standing by could not wait any longer, so he walked over to Professor Wang and asked.
"How about it? Does the hybrid wheat have the effect of increasing yield?"
"Commander, we succeeded..."
Professor Wang suppressed his inner excitement and shouted with excitement.
After repeatedly confirming the data in his hand, he replied: "Reporting to the leaders, after statistics, we have harvested a total of 426 kilograms of wheat from this acre. After removing impurities and moisture, 300 kilograms will definitely be indispensable!"
"Now, the average yield per acre of wheat in North China is 140 pounds. This means that using wheat seeds from our experimental fields can ensure that the yield of wheat per acre is increased by more than 100 percent!"
"Of course, the experimental field's ability to achieve such a high yield is inseparable from our careful cultivation."
"If people were allowed to plant it on a large scale, the yield would definitely not be as high."
"But I can be sure that as long as there is no disaster year, no large-scale pests and diseases occur, and the base fertilizer of the wheat fields is guaranteed, the yield of 250 catties per mu will definitely not be a problem!"
"Even so, compared with the wheat seeds used by ordinary people now, the yield can be increased by about 80%!"
The commander-in-chief stared with big eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face.
The shock that Professor Wang brought to him was really great.
Not to mention an 80% increase in grain production, even an increase of 50% or even 30% would be a huge surprise to the people and the entire Eighth Route Army.
This means that no more people in North China will starve to death because they have no food to eat.
This means that the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the front line no longer have to eat coarse grains to fight the enemy.
After taking a full two minutes to digest the good news, the commander stared at Professor Wang and confirmed again.
“It can really increase production by 80%!”
"Commander, please rest assured, I dare to guarantee it with my head!"
"In addition, this kind of wheat is more drought-resistant than the wheat we grow now. Many barren lands that were previously unable to grow wheat can be grown in the future, but the yield will be slightly lower!"
"However, to be on the safe side, I suggest harvesting the remaining one acre of wheat in the experimental field, so that the data will be more convincing!"
"Okay, harvest now!" the commander affirmed.
The yield of this acre is 20 pounds less, but it is still very gratifying.
Looking at the data sent by Professor Wang, the commander's first thought was to promote this wheat on a large scale.
"Professor Wang, is the cost of this kind of wheat seed high? Can it be promoted on a large scale? How long will it take?" The commander-in-chief was very anxious and asked several questions in a series. Then he stared at Professor Wang, not wanting to miss his answer.
Every word I want to say.
"The cost is only 20% higher than current wheat seeds!" Professor Wang hesitated for a moment and answered directly without concealing it.
The commander's tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said.
"Twenty percent is not much. Even 30% or even 50% is no problem and the people can accept it!"
