China New Hope Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute.

In China, this may be the largest agricultural science and technology research institute in China. Although this institute was founded by Li Zicheng, its establishment opportunity was because Yuan Shikai allocated more than 3 million acres of salt farm wasteland in northern Jiangsu. During the reclaiming of this wasteland, ** Company did not introduce foreign immigrants, but directly created a reclamation company. The "labor corps" that was on the surface of farm workers but was actually half farmer, half worker and half soldier.

After the first two years of cultivation, with the depletion of wasteland and the export of the labor corps, changes began to occur here. Initially, this was a breeding base for good varieties. Over the past three years, the high-quality wheat, high-quality triticale and rice varieties bred here were quickly promoted in Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places, which made it possible for China to increase its wheat yield in the fifth year of the Republic of China, with the increase in wheat production in the northern five provinces, which directly led to the end of more than half a century of wheat imports that year.

However, for the outside world, the most successful place here is cotton breeding. Three years ago, land long-length cotton was cultivated here. This new hybrid cotton seed fundamentally solved the problem of high yields of land cotton and high quality and no high yields of island cotton. This laid a solid foundation for the development of cotton textile industry in Jiangsu, especially in the riverside areas. In the following years, in addition to cultivating good varieties, it completely became a raw material base for cotton textile industry in Jiangsu and other places. It can be said to be the largest cotton planting area in China. However, despite this, last year, there were changes here quietly, and this change was the establishment of the New Hope Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute.

Perhaps, a variety of good varieties have been cultivated here and promoted in many provinces, but in fact, the agricultural experts who know the inside story clearly know that the good varieties here are actually "stepped on the shoulders of giants" - all good varieties are provided by the Prime Minister. According to him, this is a good variety he specially cultivated with experts abroad. What they need to do is to domesticate these good varieties. Therefore, this "unprecedented" great development of agricultural technology has no trace of its own.

The reason why the achievements made in "propaganda" are only out of the need for "propaganda". For Chinese people who lack self-confidence and self-esteem bullied, they really need all kinds of impotence. Just like in newspapers, you can often see that a certain product output exceeds Japan, the United Kingdom, or the technology of a certain product far exceeds that of various countries in the world. Although this is a fact, all this is just out of publicity needs, and it is just to give people a "strong country atmosphere".

Politics always inadvertently penetrates people's lives and is influenced by politics in all aspects. For Li Zicheng, who is eager to rebuild "national self-confidence", he is always good at using various means to inspire people's sense of national pride and help the people establish self-confidence.

However, in the end, all of this must be back on track. Only by truly achieving the goal of a strong country, and to achieve this goal, the localization of science and technology must be achieved.

The localization of science and technology refers to the process in which developing countries accept advanced Western technologies and can carry out scientific research and independent innovation of technologies. After science and technology, developing countries can only learn and introduce them from advanced scientific and technological countries at first. However, science and technology must be transformed locally before they can become practical technologies rooted in their own culture.

Last year, based on this largest continuous planting land and the 5 million yuan investment from the ** company, the New Hope Company, especially the New Hope Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute, was established to achieve a real breakthrough - master the agricultural technology belonging to China.

Compared with other technologies, localized transformation is particularly important among agricultural science and technology, because agricultural production has the most obvious regional, national and historical continuity. Only agricultural science and technology that has been localized and closely integrated with local agricultural production can be applied in production practice and become a theory to guide agricultural production and a new technology to improve the level of agricultural production.

In this perhaps the largest agricultural science and technology research institution in the world, the benefits of hundreds of acres of cotton fields are enough to support the long-term agricultural technology here, especially the research on good varieties.

Rice seed breeding base.

The day of June should have been a time of harvest, but at this time, on the edge of thousands of acres of rice seed breeding base, the workers at the base, and even the "engineers" of the Labor Corps who were still here, all looked at the good breeding base with a dull expression.

Tears!

Tears kept sliding down Yuan Songzhou's face. The rice on this breeding base embodies his efforts for two years. Two years ago, he began to add the "hat head" single ears of the local rice variety "Hat head" in Dangtu, Anhui to a variety comparison experiment. After two years of cultivation, he sought to breed a high-yield purebred rice. Originally, when the rice was earing, he still hoped that it could increase the yield by more than 20%, but now, a yellow rice field ruthlessly reminded him of a reality - the rice is over!

"What's going on?"

Jumping off the motorcycle, Ding Ying looked at the rice field in front of her in surprise.

He, like Yuan Songzhou, both studied agriculture in the United States. Although he also conducted breeding experiments, unlike Yuan Songzhou's breeding, the 06 rice farming test site he presided over used Japanese plant selection method for rice breeding. While the scale of rice breeding continues to expand, they also conducted pure line separation experiments. In addition, he also conducted rice cultivation technology research. He used the situation where there are too many rice in China, there are few japonica rice, easy to fall back when ripening, difficulty in picking single ears, the soil quality of Chinese rice fields is relatively uniform, and the number of repetitions is not as many as dry farming, and created the "community transplanting method" to make up for the long breeding cycle of Luofu's "pure line planting method" and adapt to the characteristics of transplanting technology in China's rice cultivation.

At this moment, he was also stunned by the scene in front of him. In the past, he had never seen such a scene. It was definitely not a mature scene. There were many places with blue color, but... almost instinctively, he went down the rice field and then opened a rice plant. Sure enough, he saw a few things that made his scalp numb - a few little insects.

"Gray planthopper!"

When he said these three words, Ding Ying's face was full of horror. As an agricultural expert, he certainly knew the harm of ash planthoppers to crops.

Ash planthoppers belong to the Homopterae, and is mainly distributed in the area. They occur from Hainan Island in the south, from Heilongjiang in the north, from Taiwan Province in the east, from the eastern coastal areas, and from Xinjiang in the west, and occur more frequently in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and North China. Since the hosts are various lawn grasses and grass plants such as rice, wheat, corn, barnyard, etc., it is very harmful to agriculture.

But the one who fears the most about this small pest is rice because of the virus it spreads. It is fatal to rice.

Yuan Songzhou nodded, his face looking extremely bleak.

“Rice striped leaf blight!”

With tears on his face, Yuan Songzhou said this, he knew that his hard work was over, and two years of hard work were ruined. Even if this year passed, next year would start again. Originally, he planned to expand the planting scale next year, so as to estimate the scale of output. If it goes well, there is still a possibility of large-scale promotion next year.

But what about now?

Everything is over!

"Someone has been arranged to get kerosene!"

As if comforting his friends, Yuan Songzhou looked at Ding Ying apologetically. Now, it is necessary to prevent the spread of ash planthoppers as soon as possible to avoid the spread of rice striped leaf blight throughout the breeding base.

"Base 05, and all crops within 800 meters around will be incinerated, so it should be possible to avoid the expansion of the disease!"

Just as he was talking, he saw two cars coming, but the truck was dragging it was obviously not kerosene, but people. People wearing white ones, goggles and masks, carrying mechanical spray pumps and other mechanicals. After jumping out of the car, they did not spray kerosene into the field, but pulled the small gasoline engine on the spray pump on their backs, and then carried a thick tube and walked along the edge of the field.

"What do they seem to be sucking?"

Ding Ying looked at these people in surprise. What are they doing?

"Hey, you guys..."

Just as Yuan Songzhou walked past and was about to ask clearly, the leader gave him a document, a document signed by the director, asking them to fully cooperate with their work.

"What are you going to do? The most important thing now is to burn all these lands to prevent..."

"Sorry, Professor, burning can only treat symptoms, not root causes. We are now trying to treat root causes!"

The visitor had a smile on his face, and he called out another staff member who came with him, and then took out a glass bottle under the suction pump carried by the man and wrapped it in gauze to seal it. Yuan Songzhou, Ding Ying and others saw the glass bottle full of ashes flying in a random manner. It was obvious that the purpose of their visit here was this bottle of ashes.

"This is?"

"I forgot to explain to you that we belong to a chemical company. Your company entrusts us to develop a new pesticide that can kill most pests. For pesticide testing, we need to collect various agricultural pests..."

The visitor explained his intention, but after he explained it a little, the two of them understood their intention to collect ashes.

"I'll ask you, other crops may not be afraid of ashes planthoppers, but if they have it in the rice fields, they will be infected with rice striped leaf blight. If the rice has this disease, it will be reduced by at least 80%..."

"That's, that's it, we're here for this. You're cultivating good varieties for agriculture. We develop pesticides and agriculture. You're fundamentally increasing yields, and we're auxiliary. Your work is the most important thing..."

The two agricultural experts flattered the two agricultural experts, and the people who came still had smiles on their faces. While they were talking, the people in white robes kept sucking glass bottles filled with ashes planthoppers into the iron box. Then the iron box was carefully carried onto the truck. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they had been doing this kind of work many times.

"Haha, if my two thousand acres of rice can allow you to develop pesticides that kill planthoppers, my efforts over the past two years will not be in vain!"

Yuan Songzhou said with a smile, but the people here seemed to have no interest in chatting with him. After a few simple polite words, he walked towards the other side. On the other side, several testers had already set up simple test benches, and one of the testers was observing something with a microscope, all of which looked extremely focused.

"How about it?"

The only person who was not wearing a white robe walked to the testers and asked softly.

"Well, that's right, now it's all three generations of species with bacteria..."

Their conversation did not attract anyone's attention, of course, no one would notice them. After more than an hour, the people changed into spray pumps and walked around the fields. They kept spraying pungent water mist. According to their explanation, this was a pesticide under test...

Early in the morning, Wang Shaopu rode a somewhat worn Phoenix bicycle, and occasionally rode out of the city with the bell. The sun was on his back and felt a hot stinging pain, even the soil on the ground seemed to be burning.

Wang Shaopu has long been accustomed to this. Now his face is completely gone. The kind of scholarly life he had just come to Baoding last year. His dark skin color makes it hard to believe that he will be the manager of Baoding Agricultural Company. The agricultural company is a company established in Baoding City last year. It is a company that aims to promote good varieties, agricultural technology, underwriting wheat, and naturally lends grain to farmers. This is why. In the past year, Wang Shaopu has almost ridden a bicycle to travel around half of Baoding Mansion.

Compared to lending to farmers, the agricultural company's more important responsibility is to promote good varieties. Last year, the good varieties he promoted were black wheat with "black-hearted black" by some people. Although the appearance of black wheat is especially made into noodles, no matter how noodles or steamed rice are, the quality of red wheat is not as good as red wheat. It is valuable because of its high yield, even though it is such a black wheat with "black-hearted black" black wheat, it is still unpopular. Otherwise, he would not have worked so hard.

But no matter how hard it is, as a child of a farmer, Wang Shaopu knew what the high yield of this black wheat means to the common people. Since the late Qing Dynasty, wheat has become the primary commercial grain crop in North China. Not only has the continuous growth of wheat planting area, but it is also developing towards replacing millet and sorghum. In less than a few years, it will definitely rank first among grain crops.

However, in North China, the yield per mu of wheat is far lower than that of millet. As he conducted the survey, the average yield per mu of wheat in Baoding is only 135 kilograms, while the yield per mu of millet is 230 kilograms. As for millet, it reaches 144 kilograms and sorghum is 143 kilograms. Although the yield of wheat is the lowest, the harvest of wheat is much easier than that of millet, sorghum is easier. As for millet, only watery paddy fields along the river can grow. It is precisely because of this that the wheat planting area will expand rapidly.

However, the black wheat promoted by the company is different from ordinary wheat. The average yield of experimental fields in various places is as high as 380 kilograms. If phosphorus fertilizer, fertilizer field powder, the yield per mu is even more than 800 kilograms. In the experimental farms in Jiangsu, some fields even reach 1,000 kilograms, and even farmers can composting it can reach 550 kilograms.

If this kind of black wheat is promoted in North China... there will be no more hunger in the land of China! The sense of mission, perhaps this sense of mission has prompted Wang Shaopu to ride his bicycle to promote his black wheat that was ridiculously called "black and black" everywhere, and also promote compost technology.

Last year, with his efforts, more than 400,000 mu of black wheat were planted in Baoding Prefecture, but Baoding had tens of millions of mu of land. This achievement was nothing. It was time to collect grains. As the manager of the agricultural company, he naturally had to work harder. When he was about to collect grains, he would give the farmers a reassurance. The company would collect all the black wheat at the price!

"Mr. Wang, please drink tea, don't...don't think it's dirty..."

While Fang Erlangzi was talking, there were lines hanging upside down on his beard on his face, fluttering in the wind. He had just wiped it off with his hands, and then a few more lines were flowing out.

Looking at Manager Wang, who was sweating on his tired face, his face looked full of gratitude.

"Uncle Fang, look at what you said, what's dirty? I also came out of the village."

Although the kettle he carried with him contained tea, Wang Shaopu knew that if he didn't drink this bowl of boiled boiled water, he would think that he was dirty. He picked up the bowl and drank a sip of tea before Wang Shaopu would talk about the important matter.

"You Lao Ke went to the ground to see it? How is the harvest in the ground this year?"

He asked in a low voice. Fang Erlangzi looked at his wife who was wearing shoes beside the door frame. Although he was thinking about the harvest, he still asked hesitantly for a while:

"Wang, Mr. Wang, the harvest is good, it's good. One acre of land, it's estimated that it can earn three or four hundred kilograms. Even if it's bad land, it's estimated that it can earn two or three hundred kilograms. My family's own nine acres of land, plus the twenty acres of land rented from my three grandson's family, it's estimated that this year, the harvest will be paid for 40% of the rent in previous years, and the harvest will also be offset by the harvest in the past two or three years..."

Carrying the harvest this year, Fang Erlang's face was filled with joy, but the joy was filled with sorrow.

"Wang, Mr. Wang, this, you, are you here now, is it...?"

Although those who are open to their eyes will collect grain, but last year the wheat seeds were on credit, just from the agricultural company. Now, when I am not rushing to pile up, Mr. Wang has come to the door. Could it be that he is here to urge money?

"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I will not delay the company's money. As long as I sell the grain, I will pay it back, otherwise..."

While talking, Fang Erlang turned around and looked at the sky, knocking a dry tobacco pipe in his hand on the broken brick.

"Look at what you said, the contract clearly states that after collecting the grain, the grain is still owed, the grain is confiscated, and that is still owed, Mr. Fang, I'm here today to discuss with you one thing, that is, after harvesting the wheat in this field, all the wheat in the field will be underwritten by the company..."

Just hearing this sentence, Fang Erlangzi, whose face was wrinkled like a tree bark, suddenly disappeared with blood...
