Super Scientist

The germination time of ordinary rice is faster than everyone's imagination. I thought it would take three or two days to germinate, but what I didn't expect was that it only took one day to germinate.

It's normal to think about it. After all, this is the improved soil, not the original soil. The soil is strong. Even super rice can germinate in three days, and it makes sense for ordinary rice to hurry up.

But regular rice has changed, sturdier, greener, and looks like a treat, though not as much as super rice. However, it is obviously much better than the ordinary rice in the past.

"This incident is enough to show that improved soil has a great impact on ordinary rice. If our country's cultivated land is fully improved, then the quality of our country's grain production will go up to a higher level." The father of hybrid rice immediately came to a conclusion.

"Old man, isn't it too early to draw conclusions?" Ye Chen didn't quite believe it.

"Yes." Everyone also agreed with Ye Chen's question.

After all, it has only sprouted and unearthed now, and there is still a long way to go, and follow-up research is still needed to draw conclusions.

"I don't dare to say that my conclusion is definitely correct, but it is almost the same. Please believe me, my experience is still very useful." The father of hybrid rice said confidently: "When it comes to other things, I may not dare to say , but when it comes to ordinary rice, I am really confident.”

He has been engaged in rice research all his life, and he is a world-class authority in this field. The United Nations will hire him as a consultant that year, which shows how powerful he is. Seeing him so confident, Ye Chen and the others couldn't help but believe it.

"Old man, even if what you said is true, it is impossible to improve the cultivated land in the whole country. The amount of this project is too huge, and too many meteorites are needed." Ye Chen rubbed his forehead and felt dizzy for a while. Dare to think.

There is so much arable land in the country, and the amount of meteorites needed is an unimaginable amount. Not to mention, there is such a huge project, let alone doing it, just thinking about it is a headache.

Old Zhuang Xugong and the others agreed with this statement very much.

"Xiaoye, didn't you say you want to mine asteroids? How can you not consider such a major event that benefits the country and the people?" The father of hybrid rice kicked the ball to Ye Chen.

Our country is to mine asteroids, but asteroid mining is not easy. It is unimaginable that there are so many meteorites needed to meet the improvement of cultivated land in the whole country, and our country cannot meet the requirements in a short period of time anyway.

Ye Chen was quite speechless, the old man really knows how to play football.

what happened next,

Let Ye Chen and the others have more confidence. One hundred ordinary rice plants have all germinated and unearthed. They look green, soft and comfortable.

"This has proved that the old man's judgment is correct, and we are more confident." Ye Chen and the others were very convinced.

A few days later, the super rice germinated and unearthed, just like the first batch, it was so lovable and enjoyable to watch.

After testing the soil quality, the effect is not great.

"I was inspired by the cultivation of ordinary rice. I think we should improve another experimental field. This time, we use one-tenth of the amount of meteorites to test the impact on ordinary rice." Father suggested.

"I agree." Ye Chen and the others had no objection.

Even with a tenth of the amount used, the improvement to the existing land should be obvious. Although it does not meet the requirements for growing super rice, it should be able to grow ordinary rice. If this experiment is successful, it will be of great reference value. If our country's plan to mine asteroids is a great success and a large number of meteorites are obtained, it can be extended to the whole country, and the impact on our country will definitely not be small.

Therefore, it is very necessary to conduct research in this area and accumulate data.

After making a decision, Ye Chen and the others started to act. It is not difficult to transform an experimental field, let alone a weakened improvement, it only took two days to complete. The reason why it was completed so quickly is because of the improved experience.

After the completion, the test found that it was better than the best existing fields, and everyone was full of expectations.

Then common rice was planted.

This time, it took a lot longer to germinate, and it took four full days to germinate and unearth. Even if this is the case, it is amazing. How can ordinary fields be so fast, which shows that the improvement is successful.

The unearthed rice is green and looks good, but it is not as good as the original one, and there is a gap in color. It is much better than rice grown on ordinary land.

Even so, it still makes everyone very happy. This is a good direction. If the number of meteorites is limited and cannot be improved into a genuine version, it would be nice to have a weakened version.

When everyone was happy, the chief called.

"Xiaoye, hello." The chief greeted Ye Chen with a smile on his face.

"Hi sir." Ye Chen greeted.

"Xiaoye, how is the progress of your research?" The chief asked with concern.

Ye Chen told about the research situation.

"Really?" The chief looked surprised.

The progress Ye Chen and the others have made is very good, somewhat beyond imagination, and the chief really can't believe it.

"Of course it's true. Chief, look at the data." Ye Chenxin said you don't believe it, right? Well, let the data speak.

After receiving the data, the chief read it carefully and was very happy: "Great! Great!"

The chief used two words "too good" to express his good mood. There are not many such things, which shows how good the chief is.

"Xiao Ye, your research has made great progress. This is good news, and I'm very happy. You must continue to make persistent efforts to carry this matter forward, because this is a major event that benefits the country and the people!" The chief encouraged Ye Chen.

"Thank you, Chief." Ye Chen was full of joy.

"However, your work needs to be adjusted." The chief changed the subject.

"Adjustment?" Ye Chen was a little surprised. Didn't he agree to focus on super rice research?

"Yes, adjustments." The chief affirmed and explained: "Xiaoye, according to my original idea, your first task is to do a good job in super rice. Now, the research is progressing smoothly, and a key breakthrough has been made. You are not here. It can go on. You are so amazing, you are the "firefighter" of our country's scientific and technological cause, you have to shine and shine, and you can't just stay in one place."

The term "firefighters" for the tech business is apt. Wherever Ye Chen goes, he can make a major breakthrough.

Super Rice has made a key breakthrough, and Ye Chen's stay here is no longer of much use. It's better to transfer this firefighter to another place, so that he can play his role better.

"Then where should I go?" Ye Chen made sense after thinking about it.

He has a lot of things to do now, the super rice has broken through, it's time for him to do other things.

"To develop a new type of fuel." The chief said.

"New fuel?" Ye Chen asked.

"That's right. The new type of rocket has a lot to do with the lunar development plan and the asteroid mining plan. However, the new type of rocket is also subject to the new type of fuel. You should join in on this matter." The chief explained: "In the past, we The country plans to mine asteroids to mine the rare minerals on them. Now, there is another use, which is used to improve the soil."

Our nation is at the forefront of the world in asteroid mining and complements the lunar development program. In the past, asteroids were mined to obtain rare minerals on asteroids. Now, soil improvement uses extraterrestrial matter, which finds another use for asteroids.

"Super rice can be planted, and it is also food for higher-level life. Then, once humans evolve to a higher level, they must promote super rice on a large scale. Moreover, earth species have a complete food chain. We must not only let rice evolve, Other major species will also evolve, such as wheat, sorghum, beans, corn, etc. After these foods evolve, they may also need improved soil to grow them. So, we need to prepare for this now. To do this , First of all, we must make breakthroughs in new fuels." The chief said with a serious face.

"The chief is wise." Ye Chen had to admire, the chief saw far and thought through, and now he is making arrangements.

If humans do not evolve, once they evolve to a higher level, they will need higher-level food, and super rice must be sown on a large scale, which requires large-scale transformation of the soil.

Moreover, human food is not only rice, but also wheat, sorghum, beans, corn, and various vegetables. After these evolve, it is likely that soil improvement will also be required for planting.

Although it is not yet possible to draw a conclusion, the matter of super rice can be used as a reference.

It is inevitable to improve the soil on a large scale, which requires a lot of meteorites, and the asteroid mining plan must be accelerated. If you want to speed up the asteroid program, you must have a new type of rocket, and if you want a new type of rocket, you must have a new type of fuel.

Fuel is fundamental, if you don't solve the fuel, don't think about anything.

"Okay." Ye Chen agreed with this statement.

"Very good. I will arrange for them to go to Fengzhou to find you as soon as possible." The chief smiled gratifiedly.

He was really worried that Ye Chen would disagree. Ye Chen agreed, new types of fuel and new types of rockets can be expected, this is a great thing, and it is worth being happy.

After talking for a while, the chief hung up the phone.

After finishing the call, Ye Chen explained the meaning of the chief, and the father of hybrid rice was very sorry: "Xiaoye, it's a pity that you left the team just like this."

"Yes." Chen Wang and the others were also reluctant.

It is a pity that Ye Chen will leave the team just after breaking through the key point. If Ye Chen was there and with Ye Chen's help, I believe the progress would be faster.

"Actually, you should be happy. As your research progresses, the demand for meteorites is increasing. If Xiaoye's mission is completed, we will no longer be affected by the shortage of meteorites." Xu Gong laughed.

He will definitely participate in Ye Chen's next work, and the manufacture of new rockets cannot do without him. He has already received information and knows what Ye Chen is going to do.

"Really? That would be great." Although the father of hybrid rice has a high rank and cannot get in touch with new fuels, he believes in XCMG.

Before the arrival of the fuel research and development team, Ye Chen can still shine here for a while, ready to do some research. At this moment, Master Gan came to Ye Chen.

"Xiaoye, Hangfa is going to test drive, do you want to go?" Chief Engineer Gan asked.
