[Volume 2: Young Eagle Spreads its Wings] Chapter 255: The arrival of distinguished guests
? ¡ª¡ª
After seeing off Le Lingyan, Regulus took a brief rest and then drove home without stopping. The day after tomorrow was his grandpa's birthday, so he couldn't help but not be anxious.
When he rushed back to Xiao Xuanyuan Qiu, it was already around six o'clock in the afternoon, which meant that the day was long now. He really rushed back because he was greedy for darkness, and now, the sun was still more than an hour away from setting. It was not so late.
When he got home, Regulus discovered that there was a guest at home, and he was an honored guest!
One is the dean of the GZL Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Liu Changhe. Although he doesn¡¯t have many contacts with him, he can be considered an old acquaintance. He visited the villa once a few days ago and is not considered a rare or distinguished guest, but the other But it¡¯s unusual, it¡¯s Mr. Yuan Longping!
After this exchange of greetings, we found out that when Liu Changhe came to the villa for a trip, he saw the Xuanyuan fourteen kinds of rice that were very different. Since he didn¡¯t have any instruments at hand at the time, he didn¡¯t think much about it and just thought it was a new variety. Later, when I talked to my teacher Yuan Longping on the phone, I realized how rare this kind of rice is, because Yuan Longping didn¡¯t know about this new variety!
You know, Yuan Longping has devoted his life to the cultivation of rice. It can be said that almost all varieties of rice in the world are in his mind, but the kind Liu Changhe described is something he has never heard of or seen before, that is, Said that this is a new variety of rice. Thinking of the flaming red lips, Yuan Longping couldn't help but guess whether this new variety of rice was cultivated by Regulus XIV?
Thinking of this, Yuan Longping couldn't hold back the movement in his heart. I flew directly from CS City to J Province, found Liu Changhe, and planned to go to Xiao Xuanyuan Qiu to have a look in person. But when Liu Changhe contacted Regulus, he found that Regulus's phone was always turned off. After not getting through the phone for two days, Yuan Longping and Liu Changhe finally decided to go directly to Xiao Xuanyuan Qiu!
Liu Changhe didn¡¯t have a close relationship with Regulus XIV, and there wasn¡¯t much contact between them. How could he possibly know that Regulus XIV had changed his phone number?
"I have heard Changhe talk about you in my ears countless times. I have long wanted to see you, this young weirdo. When I saw you today, haha. Young people, it is not easy! After living such a long time, I have not yet Have you ever seen anyone who can create artificial Four Seasons? Yes. Not to mention that I have seen it before, I just don¡¯t even dare to think about it. But this beautiful scenery that should not exist in the world has actually appeared in front of my eyes countless times. . I thought I was in a dream." Yuan Longping said with emotion. Although he has experienced a lot, when he saw Four Seasons Villa for the first time, his first thought was how could it be possible? Next, there was only shock.
? In his words. This is a scenic spot that should not exist on earth!
"Wherever, I want to meet you. It's time for me to meet Mr. Yuan. As for the coexistence of four seasons, it's not something worth showing off. It's also my good fortune that I got such a formation accidentally. No matter what, I will He's a farmer, but he doesn't have that much ability." Xuanyuan XIV said humbly. Although he had some achievements and had the capital to shock Yuan Longping, in terms of contribution, he was far behind Yuan Longping. , and Yuan Longping is also one of the people he respects the most.
Regulus XIV's humility made Yuan Longping very happy. In the face of such a great success or such a big thing, a young man still maintains a fresh mind and is neither arrogant nor arrogant in victory or defeat. Such a person is in this material world. They are already a rare breed. Yuan Longping has seen too many young people, but few of them really satisfy him.
"Yes, yes! You kid still knows that you are a farmer. Take me to see the rice quickly. I can't wait. I want to see if the rice is as good as what he said on the phone!" Changhe mentioned on the phone that the Regulus rice should be high-yield and grow well. Yuan Longping still gave affirmation to his student's vision. If he could tell him that it was high-yielding, then The yield of this kind of rice must be amazing. Otherwise, he would never describe it as high yield!
"This Mr. Yuan, it's almost dark, and the light is getting a little dark. How about we" Looking at the sky, Regulus hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"I wonder if you are poor! I praised you for being sensible just now, and now you are doing this again. I don't know the specific situation of the rice fields, and I can't stop thinking about it. Don't bring these things to me, kid. Please help me, if this rice is not as good as Chang He said, then you can work with me to improve this rice until it reaches a level that satisfies me!" Yuan Longping is also a madman in scientific research. Knowing that there are new varieties of rice, Not being able to see him right away would be even worse than killing him!
And he said this after careful consideration. In his opinion, Regulus XIV.?So to tinker with new varieties of rice, it shows that he has this intention. Of course, Yuan Longping does not think that Regulus can cultivate any excellent varieties. At most, it can develop high yield, lodging resistance, disease and pest resistance, etc. on top of existing rice varieties. He mainly focuses on talents. , I took a fancy to Regulus XIV¡¯s research ability. If, if I could cooperate with such a person, then
As he gets older, Yuan Longping feels more and more unable to do what he wants, especially since he is now nearly eighty years old. Although he still has a young heart, this body After seeing Regulus XIV, Yuan Longping has a feeling The urge to teach everything, at least if the two of them cooperate, his knowledge, coupled with Regulus' willingness to study and the youth's vitality, might lead to the cultivation of new and better varieties of rice!
"Haha, Mr. Yuan, how dare I deceive you? It's just that it's a little late today. Let's take a break and watch tomorrow. Since you asked to see it, Mr. Yuan, I'll take you to see it. As for whether you're satisfied with it or not. , then the boy won¡¯t dare to speak loudly!¡± Regulus XIV said this very modestly. If his rice with perfect genes cannot satisfy Yuan Longping, then there will no longer be rice in the world that can satisfy the old man. Variety.
If it were anyone else, Regulus would not be so humble, but facing Yuan Longping, he could not bear the slightest arrogance in his heart.
"That's good, that's good! Changhe. You bring two people and all the equipment. I want to see the scientific research results of the Fourteenth in person." Hearing what Xuanyuan Fourteen said, Yuan Longping felt relieved. As long as he was not lying to himself Just fine. As for Regulus XIV¡¯s thoughts. I understand, but watching the rice is more important than anything else. It is my lifeblood. From the moment Liu Changhe called, I couldn't eat or sleep, and I thought about it day and night. to the scientific research results of Regulus XIV.
A group of six or seven people carried inspection equipment and followed Regulus XIV's lead to a golden rice field. Looking at the rice in front of me. Yuan Longping was so moved that he was speechless. Looking around, it¡¯s so high! So strong! The rice grains are plump and round, just like sorghum hanging all over the field!
If I hadn¡¯t known this was a rice field, if it weren¡¯t for the golden color of the rice. Yuan Longping would only think that he had come to a field of short sorghum!
Yuan Longping picked an ear of rice and weighed it with his hands, weighing about sixty taels. Then he counted more than five hundred rice grains. On this rice, he could also see that the prototype of this rice should be his own three-line hybrid rice. But, is this, is this still our own three-line hybrid rice? Let¡¯s not talk about the weight for now. High-yielding rice can almost reach this weight. The key lies in the number of grains.
Anyone who has planted rice knows this. The average hybrid rice only has more than 360 grains, and the latest high-yield rice cultivated by myself only has more than 450 grains. And this rice can actually produce more than 500 grains of rice. How high is the technology content here? It's hard to imagine. What's more, this is Regulus XIV's first time cultivating rice, if only he had been given more time. So what can this rice grow?
Yuan Longping has two wishes in his life: one is to synthesize "super hybrid rice"; the other is to bring hybrid rice to the world.
This is the voice of Yuan Longping, a kind of broad love. In order to realize this wish, he was freed from the two "baggage" of grades and honors, and detached himself from fame and fortune. Regarding the numerous titles and part-time jobs, he resolutely resigned when he could, and generally did not attend meetings that he could not attend. The only thing that haunted him in his dreams was Hybrid rice. He hopes that the research results of hybrid rice will not only enhance our country's ability to solve the problem of food, but also make greater contributions to solving the hunger problem still faced by mankind. Therefore, Yuan Longping regards helping other countries develop hybrid rice as a noble cause for human happiness. He was also employed as chief consultant to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
"I like to see thousands of waves of rice, and heroes everywhere are setting off sunset smoke." Yuan Longping once said: "I had a dream. I dreamed that the stalks of hybrid rice were as high as sorghum, the ears were as big as brooms, and the rice was like grapes. The knots were tied in bunches, and my assistants and I walked in the rice fields together and enjoyed the coolness under the rice."
Seeing it in front of him, he felt that his dream had come true!
Although the stalks of rice are not as tall as sorghum, the ears are not as big as brooms, and the rice is not grown in bunches like grapes But he knows that rice is rice after all and can never be sorghum. It's a broom, not a grape among fruits
What he has never done in his life, this young man in front of him has done it! The scene I thought I would never see in this life, now I saw it!
For a moment, Mr. Yuan Longping burst into tears. Those were tears of joy!
Regulus XIV did not dissuade him. He knew how this respectable old man was feeling at the moment. He had been engaged in hybrid rice research for half a century. He was not afraid of difficulties, willing to dedicate himself, and worked hard to pursue?, has made a significant contribution to solving the Chinese people's food problem. It can be said that hybrid rice is his life. Seeing such rice, Yuan Longping shed tears of excitement.
After a long while, Yuan Longping stopped crying and wiped away two handfuls of rice. Then, he grabbed a bunch of rice with both hands and pulled it very hard without pulling the rice out of the field. He tried several times in succession, but due to old age and weak strength, he still couldn't do it. Finally, Regulus came forward and pulled the rice out of the rice field.
Yuan Longping quickly ordered the people around him to clean the roots of the rice. He wanted to personally measure how developed the root system of the rice was. No matter how many grains you can produce from a good rice plant, it must first have a well-developed root system. If there is no developed root system, it cannot support the weight of the rice itself. No matter how much rice you produce, it will be useless. If there is a rainy season or strong windy weather, all the rice will be paralyzed in the rice fields. Not only will it not bring more profits to the growers, but it will also cause heavy losses to others.
As a conscientious scientific researcher, this kind of thing must not happen to them. So this focus is only part of it. But the real thing is to measure, measure the length of the roots, the degree of development, and the diameter of the main stem of the rice. The width and length of rice leaves, the weight of a single grain, the elements contained in the grain, whether it contains some bad viruses, whether it contains pesticide residues, etc. must be strictly implemented.
¡°Now, just looking at the program, they feel very satisfying. And after what happened just now, Yuan Longping wasn't worried about the root system. Now he is worried about the taste of the rice and whether any pesticides have been used in Regulus. If the results are piled up with pesticides, it is not a good result, it is fraud, and it is an insult to scientific and technological research.
? Other things will be done by the staff. Yuan Longping held Yang Tian with one hand and sat casually on the grass next to him. He didn't show any pretense at all, as if Regulus was his teacher. He asked: "Sixteen. Tell me about your nurturing From the process, I can see that the prototype of this rice should be my three-line hybrid rice. I have improved this rice countless times, but I am not satisfied every time. So I want to ask you about the breeding process. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything I can learn from.¡±
"Mr. Yuan, you are joking. You are my senior. You have countless experiences in hybrid rice that I can learn from. I really don't have anything extra to say about this aspect of breeding. If I want to say it, it's about genes. Say it. To be honest, there is no breeding process here. I know that you have been using hybridization to further improve rice genes. In my opinion, although this method is effective, it is cumbersome. Meimei has some unsatisfactory aspects. What I did was to start from the time when the rice was still a seed, start from changing the genes, and use drugs to recombine the genes of the rice seeds, so as to obtain the seeds with the most perfect genes. In this way, the seeds The rice that came out is what you see before you." Regulus XIV shook his head and refused to learn from Yuan Longping, and said: "To put it simply, Mr. Yuan and I cultivate it in different ways. I started from the original seeds. Genetic cultivation, instead of cultivating genes when you need pollination, I use drugs to promote changes in gene arrangement, while you change genes artificially and genetically."
"Haha, don't be humble when you are fourteen. Facts are eloquent. I have to say that if you give me another thirty or forty years, I may not be able to cultivate rice like this. The results are right in front of you. You don't want to say it. It's useless. I know you have some science and technology. This gene-changing drug should be related to the emergence of flaming red lips, right? I won't ask what this drug is, as long as you can always think of our country. As a farmer, I always think that there are still people who have no food to eat, and I always think of using this rice to change the world, and I am satisfied.¡±
Although we still don¡¯t know the final result of the cultivated rice, Yuan Longping knows that Regulus XIV has already defeated him by a lot. A young man in his twenties can take the rice he has studied for many years to another level without ever touching rice cultivation. It is conceivable that when Regulus was thirty or forty years old, What would that look like?
I can¡¯t imagine it!
"Haha, thank you Mr. Yuan for your understanding. Please rest assured that I am a farmer and I know what I should do. I will continue to research and cultivate hybrid rice. This hybrid rice is the pride of our country and the most fundamental of our country. Foundation. I will not give up, nor can I give up." Regulus said sincerely.
"Okay, good boy, if you say this, I will die in peace! You can help me pull out a few rice bushes to make specimens, and then pull out more and shed the shells. I want to taste the taste of this rice Well, Contact the harvester in the next two days! I want to see how high the yield per mu of rice can be after drying!" Yuan Longping was excitedroad.
"Okay, I also want to see how much yield per mu can be achieved. I hope I don't mess up my research this time. That would be too embarrassing!" Regulus was also full of smiles. Although he cannot be so selfless, he is still willing to develop this kind of rice throughout the country and the world.
With the help of Liu Changhe and his assistants, several people pulled out a small piece of rice. After returning home and manually shelling it, it weighed about four kilograms. Because there were distinguished guests, Regulus XIV specially called the chef Liu Mingde to his home, and carefully prepared some dishes to welcome Mr. Yuan Longping.
Originally, Liu Mingde was unwilling to come. After the villa opened, as the name of Four Seasons Villa became more and more popular, the number of tourists increased. Just now, when Regulus XIV found him, Liu Mingde was busy working on the stove, but When he heard that he was cooking for Yuan Longping, Liu Mingde, who was reluctant at first, took off his apron and followed Regulus after giving a few instructions.
"If Mr. Yuan had applied for a patent, he might be the richest man in China now, but he selflessly contributed the patent to the country. For this reason, I respect Mr. Yuan! If I can cook for Mr. Yuan once, that is I, Liu Mingde, am blessed with three lifetimes of cultivation!" These are Liu Mingde's original words.
After a while, the aroma filled the air, and the smell of rice came. It was new rice that had been cooked. It was brought to everyone. Everyone at a big round table was holding chopsticks, and the bowl was filled with a bowl of rice, like porridge. It¡¯s not porridge, it¡¯s like rice but not rice.
Because it is not dried in the sun, after the new rice is cooked, it turns into a viscous liquid, with pearl-like rice grains floating in the liquid. The aroma washes the pores of the body and penetrates deep into the bone marrow. ()
