Chapter 1003 Super Rice
There will always be some mindless trolls on the internet in future generations
Sometimes Yang Chen really can't figure it out. Those people are unhappy and just scold other people, even an old man who has made great contributions to the country.
I really don’t know if it’s sad or sad.
A man who has spent his whole life working hard to provide food for everyone, has been working hard for decades, and even when he is old, he still insists on doing research in the fields.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just go to the fields. How many people in future generations can do it? How many people can do it, let alone young people, how many young people can do it?
Sometimes I don’t understand that the celebrities and the rich second generation of later generations show off this and that all day long, but no one bothers to criticize them, and they lick the dogs a lot.
When it was the turn of Mr. Yuan and others, why did the conversation change?
The greater your contribution, the more harsh you will be on others, wishing you could eat and drink every day while others eat chaff. It seems that only in that way can the greatness of others be reflected.
No matter how great a person is, he is still a human being.
People have seven emotions and six desires
We are all human beings, we compare ourselves to others, they have contributed, so why can’t we live a better life? Even if we buy a car, some people will criticize us. We really have to eat enough to survive.
Since ancient times, we have said that "food is the first priority for the people".
People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry.
There is nothing to question or criticize about such a person who has solved everyone's eating problems.
Compared with later generations, Mr. Yuan was not that famous at this time, but he had already received attention and attention from above.
In recent years, Mr. Yuan has been attending foreign rice research conferences as a representative. In 1980 and 1983, he was invited by the United States to provide technical guidance on hybrid rice seed production.
Inland hybrid rice has been at the leading level in the world during this period. If the per capita cultivated land in the inland were not too small, coupled with the large population and high food consumption, the inland could also become a major agricultural export country.
While chatting, Yang Chen suddenly asked Mr. Yuan, "Mr. Yuan, have you ever heard of super hybrid rice?"
"Super hybrid rice?" Mr. Yuan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Yang should be talking about super-high-yield rice breeding, which is commonly known as super rice abroad."
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Yes, since the island country launched research on high-yield rice breeding in 1981, now overseas countries are researching in this area, hoping to make further breakthroughs in rice yield."
In the previous life, the International Rice Research Institute launched a "super rice" breeding program in 1989, mainly to increase rice yields by 20 to 25 percent, but this plan did not materialize.
On the contrary, the super hybrid rice plan proposed by Mr. Yuan in 1996 has achieved great results in a few years.
The super hybrid rice breeding plan presided over by Mr. Yuan initially conducted three phases of research. In the first phase, the yield of hybrid rice was successfully increased to 700 kilograms per mu, in the second phase it was increased to 800 kilograms per mu, and in the third phase it was increased to 700 kilograms per mu.
The yield per mu of super hybrid rice reached 900 kilograms. Until Yang Chen was reborn, the yield per mu of super hybrid rice had reached 1100 kilograms.
At that time, Mr. Yuan, who was almost ninety years old, had not stopped his research and continued to lead people towards a yield of 1,200 kilograms per mu. The unfinished plan of the International Hybrid Rice Research Institute was completed in Mr. Yuan's hands.
And it was overachieved.
Therefore, Yang Chen very much hopes that this life can still be proposed and completed by Yuan Lao.
It would be better if his intervention could enable Inland to launch the super hybrid rice project ahead of schedule.
"As for the super hybrid rice that Mr. Yang mentioned, I am also paying attention inland. The fifteen-year plan proposed by the island country is to increase rice production by 50%. However, so far, the island country's plan has not achieved a breakthrough.
sexual progress.
Internationally, only island countries have actually implemented the plan, and other countries have not conducted research in this area. However, increasing rice production has always been the direction and expectation of our research."
"It's just that this aspect requires support from above before it can be implemented."
Yang Chen did not hesitate and said directly: "I don't know what kind of support you are talking about, Mr. Yuan?"
Mr. Yuan glanced at Yang Chen and did not hide anything. He said bluntly: "The main issue is funding and government support. If you want to conduct research on super hybrid rice, you need a large number of experimental fields. Without government support, it will be difficult to complete this."
.”
"If I can help Mr. Yuan and your team solve the problems of funding and experimental fields, can Mr. Yuan start research on super hybrid rice?"
When Mr. Yuan heard Yang Chen's words, he was silent for a moment. If he said he was not moved, it would be absolutely false, but he didn't know what the purpose of the other party's support for him was and what his intentions were.
Although he has no ill feelings towards capitalists like Yang Chen, Mr. Yuan still knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Mr. Yuan said: "Mr. Yang, can you tell me your reasons?"
"Mr. Yuan wants me to give a reason, okay, I have two reasons here. The first one is more selfless, and it is to make our country's billion people have enough to eat, so that people all over the world will no longer suffer from hunger.
Secondly, this is a selfish request. Mr. Yuan may not understand it well. In addition to having the title of the richest man, I am also a veritable big landowner.
I have a large area of land in Australia that can be cultivated. In addition, my grain and oil company has operations in many places. It is beneficial to me to increase grain production."
"I hope Mr. Yuan will develop super hybrid rice in the future and I can share the results together. This is a small request of mine."
After listening to Yang Chen's words, Mr. Yuan fell silent again. Since he was transferred to Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 1971 to specialize in hybrid rice research, he has devoted most of his energy to researching hybrid rice.
In order to increase rice production, a nationwide hybrid rice research institute was established in the interior in 1984.
Due to his research in the field of hybrid rice, it was natural for him to take on the position of head of the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center.
Research requires money and funding. Mr. Yuan, who was born in 1930, is now fifty-seven years old. He is mentally strong and physically strong, so he naturally wants to achieve some breakthrough results.
However, he couldn't resist Yang Chen's request.
Although super hybrid rice is still out of the question, if he agrees, then as Yang Chen's identity, the results of future research will definitely be presented.
This made him a little embarrassed, not that he was unwilling to share the results, but mainly because he was not able to answer the questions above.
"There is no need for Mr. Yuan to be embarrassed. Mr. Yuan can report this matter to the superiors. Regardless of whether the superiors agree or not, please rest assured Mr. Yuan. My assistance to Mr. Yuan and your team will not be reduced by half. This is considered a big capitalist like me.
A selfless contribution to the country."
