Early the next morning, Yang Xiaotao gathered people in the school classroom and prepared to assign tasks.

But when someone came to report that a leader had entered the village, Yang Xiaotao quickly took people out to greet him.

After a while, I saw an old man wearing a military coat striding over, with a guard following behind him.

Yang Xiaotao recognized him from afar, it was Mr. Tao who came here.

This is the immediate boss of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Especially in the past two years, agriculture has developed rapidly, and the promotion and cultivation of hybrid corn has opened up the situation. Later, hybrid wheat and hybrid rice are not far away from success, which makes its position even more important.

As the country pays more and more attention to it, Mr. Tao's status is now higher than that of Mr. Huang.

After all, Mr. Huang is only the boss of the First Machinery Department, while Mr. Tao is the boss of the entire agriculture.

"Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward quickly.

When Mr. Tao saw it was Yang Xiaotao, he smiled and said, "I heard you are about to start work. I'll come over and take a look!"

"This action has attracted a lot of attention from above. The three of you are our three knives. Whether you can cut off this piece of meat is related to our face!"

Tao Lao said earnestly, "How are you preparing?"

Mr. Tao asked, and Yang Xiaotao followed him.

"The village has built two greenhouses yesterday, and today five greenhouses can be built. We are going to experiment today..."

Yang Xiaotao quickly went to talk about his plan, and Mr. Tao nodded while listening.

The two of them soon arrived in the classroom. Everyone in the room was curious, and many people did not know Mr. Tao.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to make an introduction but was interrupted by Mr. Tao, "I'm here this time just to see the work of my comrades."

“I don’t know much in this regard, so my ability to help is limited!”

"But if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "With your words, I feel confident!"

Tao Lao smiled and said, "I'm here to protect you!"

"Go for it!"

After Mr. Tao finished speaking, he led the guards to the side of the classroom and sat down, as if he were a teacher listening to the class.

Seeing everyone's eyes full of curiosity, Yang Xiaotao coughed slightly to attract everyone's attention.

"Captain Hou, please tell me about the research progress!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's voice, Hou Lijing immediately walked up to the podium, came to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and began to speak.

"Captain, during this period, based on the data sent back by Director Gao and others, we have done a lot of work!"

"Especially the overall properties of the soil have been figured out, and the soil structure is quite different from the soil structure here."

Hou Lijing wrote a series of nouns on it, and then listed two columns of data at the end.

Of course, this is not exact data, but a general range.

Yang Xiaotao squinted his eyes and compared the gap between the two sides in his mind.

"Team Yang!"

After Hou Lijing finished writing, she began to analyze it.

"Based on what we concluded, pH is the first big difference."

"We analyzed the soil in the greenhouse and found that its pH was between 6.5 and 7.0."

"But the information sent by Director Gao shows that the pH of the Artemisia annua producing area is between 7.0 and 7.5."

"In other words, both are neutral soils, but the pH is obviously higher in the northwest."

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Mr. Tao in the corner also nodded silently.

When it comes to herbal medicine, any factor may lead to differences, so don’t be sloppy in the slightest.

Mr. Tao also understands the truth. He also understood this when he called the dean last night.

"We can use chemical fertilizers to adjust this!"

Hou Lijing nodded, obviously this is the most suitable method at present.

As for where to get the fertilizer, that's not their concern.

With Team Yang here, there will be no problem!

But Yang Xiaotao looked at Mr. Tao, who nodded slightly.

"Other than that, it's temperature and temperature difference."

Hou Lijing pointed to the data and said, "According to the habits of Artemisia japonica, it begins to grow in summer, and the temperature in the northwest region is between 23°C and 35°C during the day and between 9°C and 20°C at night. The temperature difference is 15°C but about 20°C.

.”

"If we want to simulate the environment, we need to meet this requirement."

"Otherwise, the temperature cannot be reached, the temperature difference cannot be reached, it would be easy..."

When Hou Lijing said this, she looked at everyone and said, "It's easy not to grow, or in other words, when it grows, it won't be the one we need."

"But how to control the temperature and find out the appropriate temperature pattern is a very time-consuming matter."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after listening. He knew about the southern orange and northern orange, and he also knew the impact of soil and climate on plants.

But now, they have no other choice.

"Classmates, comrades!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and came to the podium.

I took out the chalk and drew a line on the temperature.

Then his tone became solemn.

"Temperature and temperature difference will be the focus and difficulty of our future work!"

"Any slight mistake may make our efforts and investment in vain."

"And the consequence is that the mission fails."

"The consequences of mission failure will be very serious!"

"We can't afford to lose."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously. It was the first time he saw Yang Xiaotao so serious. Below him was not only Hou Lijing, but also the student who had been following him before. His heart felt heavy and he felt great pressure.

"I hope everyone will cheer up and strive to complete this mission!"

"Now, let me tell you the experimental plan!"

Everyone immediately picked up pen and paper to record it.

"Captain Hou, how many seeds of Artemisia japonica are there?"

Hou Lijing nodded, "Captain, because the matter is urgent, the comrades in the northwest collected more than five kilograms in total, and only about one kilogram was assigned to our third echelon."

"We counted, there were about 8,500 pills!"

After hearing the accurate value, Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction.

This shows that he has enough quantity for Xiaowei to experiment.

"Next, we divided into two groups, one and two."

"Team Hou and Team Wang each lead a group of people."

Yang Xiaotao began to arrange tasks, and everyone listened carefully.

"Team Wang, your team is responsible for preparing the soil, and I will ask someone to bring in chemical fertilizers."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your group is going to prepare soil with different pH levels!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Hao immediately raised his hand and Yang Xiaotao nodded. Then Wang Hao asked, "Team Yang, since we have soil samples from the northwest, why don't we just follow the ones there?"

"We can do the records on the pH of the soil over there, but can you guarantee that the soil there will be suitable for the climate and environment here?"

Wang Hao couldn't guarantee it in his heart.

"Do more gradients just to avoid accidents!"

"clear!"

Wang Hao nodded and began to select team members, who were basically all young guys.

After all, stirring the soil is not a light activity.

"The remaining two groups are responsible for controlling temperature changes."

Yang Xiaotao then made targeted arrangements.

First, Yang Xiaotao made full use of the five greenhouses built first.
