Chapter 651 Agricultural Technological Improvement (first update, please subscribe)
In the early morning, the sun shines into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.
Slowly opening his eyes, feeling the breeze blowing from the window, Huang Ruicai did not get up immediately, but stayed for a while before stretching and sitting up from the bed.
After washing up, before I arrived at the restaurant, I heard my wife busy in the kitchen. Breakfast was already placed on the dining table, a bowl of rice noodles, which is typical of Hunan Province. A copy of the Kuching Morning News.
While enjoying rice noodles, Huang Ruicai flipped through the newspaper. After watching the news that the two sides in South America had reached a consensus on a new round of aid, he nodded slightly and said to himself.
"It seems that the impact of the Peninsula incident on South American relations has turned over for the time being."
The changes in the Peninsula are thousands of kilometers away. Although they have shaken up the world, that's all. .
Most Nanyang people, as in the past, welcome the morning in the rising sun, start a new day's work, and then end the day's work in the dusk. This is always the case whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries.
For Huang Ruicai, who is a scholar, the Peninsula situation is just a meal at breakfast. He just reads the newspaper and eats rice noodles. Soon after breakfast, Huang Ruicai goes to put on his clothes. He was riding his bicycle to the Soil Research Institute in his old straw hat.
When arriving at the Soil Research Institute, Huang Ruicai was startled when he saw a Wuling parked in the parking lot and said to himself.
"Whose car is this? It's actually in the queue!"
Huang Ruicai is so surprised because Wuling Bingo is now very popular in the market after its launch - who doesn't like a car that costs 500 yuan a car? , only a few months’ salary.
Looking at the Bingo car, Huang Ruicai was inevitably a little envious. In fact, he also ordered one, but his number is 51789, and he will have to wait until next year at the earliest.
But in more than a month, it will enter the rainy season!
Shaking his head, Huang Ruicai walked into the underground laboratory. He did not enter the office, but went directly to the experimental area. A lush green field of oil palm trees, neatly arranged like soldiers.
At the plantation, the students had arrived early, and as usual, Huang Ruicai carefully observed the growth of the oil palm trees, occasionally bending down to check the condition of the soil.
"Teacher,"
Soon two students came to him and gave him a report.
“This is the soil testing report of thirty-six rubber plantations. Through laboratory confirmation of soil composition, we have basically understood the degree of soil degradation in these plantations..."
Taking the report from the student's hands, Huang Ruicai asked while reading it.
"Wu Jie, why do you think we need to conduct soil surveys on these rubber plantations?"
"Teacher, the earliest of these 36 rubber plantations can be traced back to 1897. Through soil surveys on them, it can be determined Soil degradation, Nanyang has a tropical rainforest climate with lots of rain The climate makes leaching strong, and nutrients are easily lost. Long-term monoculture will seriously degrade the soil. Through soil surveys, first-hand data can be obtained, and soil nutrients can be ensured through targeted fertilization..."
The student's answer made Huang Ruicai nodded slightly and said.
“Yes, this is the reason for the soil survey. The climate environment in Nanyang is very special. Whether it is rubber or oil palm, they are all single crops, even elephant grass. The loss of soil nutrients in the soil The degradation of soil will directly affect their yield, so it is necessary to supplement nutrients in a targeted manner..."
"Teacher, it sounds like Chinese medicine treats a disease. We take medicine according to the prescription. We are also treating the soil. , and then take the medicine according to the prescription.”
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. After thinking for a moment, Huang Ruicai said.
“Yes, that’s right, just take medicine according to the prescription. Well,...this is also a prescription for medical treatment. It prescribes...nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other mineral fertilizers. This is not a kind of fertilizer, but several fertilizers. A formula of fertilizer! Yes, it’s formula fertilization!”
When they said the name, Huang Ruicai and his students didn’t know what they had created. They were just chatting there. .
Just like in the past, just four simple words have left an extremely deep impression on many people. In the future, they will definitely conduct research in this direction, and this research will eventually It will also bring about earth-shaking changes to agricultural production.
“Formulated fertilization, the name given by the teacher is quite appropriate, but isn’t it just formula fertilization!”
Amid the laughter of the students, Huang Ruicai asked them one by one what they thought of the "recipe".
Some students suggested that increasing the application of mineral fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can effectively improve red soil.
“Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied deeply in granular or spherical form, and phosphorus fertilizer should be mixed with organic fertilizer to make granular fertilizer before application.” “Teacher, you can also improve red soil by applying lime and rational farming...”
Listening to the students’ answers and looking at the young students in front of him, Huang Ruicai had a pleased smile on his face. Two years ago, he was a senior visiting scholar at Jarrow University in London, England. The Shan Soil Plant Protection Research Institute is engaged in research work and has completed four topics including "Extraction method of polysaccharides in soil and its effectiveness in improving soil aggregates". When he was about to return to China in 1948, he could have continued teaching at Jinling University.
However, he received an invitation from Nanyang to assist Nanyang in conducting soil surveys. With the changes in Tangshan, his work also changed. From soil surveys to teaching at the Royal University in Kuching, the changes in life are always so unpredictable. Test.
The most gratifying thing for him is that compared to Tangshan, the work he is doing in Nanyang has a greater sense of accomplishment - the research results will be promoted to various plantations by the company as soon as possible. In Nanyang Science Planting has never been an empty term, but has been promoted in earnest. At the Soil Research Institute in Kuching alone, dozens of colleagues are studying soil together to solve the problem of poor soil in Southeast Asia.
Although the natural climate cannot be changed, through scientific investigation and the adoption of corresponding measures, deficiencies in soil conditions can be made up to a certain extent, and this is exactly their job.
During his work break, Huang Ruicai sat under the shade of a tree to rest and drink the tea he brought with him. He looked at the busy students with a faint smile on his face. These people are the real hope. Through their efforts and sweat, this land will surely be full of vitality in the future.
"Ruicai,"
Just at this moment, someone came over.
"Lian Jie,"
Looking at his colleagues and friends walking towards him, Huang Ruicai picked up the stainless steel thermos kettle and said.
“Would you like some tea?”
“Hey, Tiger stainless steel insulated kettle, this is high-tech!”
Li Lianjie was surprised and said that the stainless steel insulated kettle is the latest product launched here in Nanyang. This kettle is not cheap, costing dozens of yuan, and the quantity is very limited - it seems because the output is not large.
"How about it? Can this pot really keep warm for twelve hours?"
He asked curiously.
"Like a tea bottle?"
"At least twelve hours,"
After pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Huang Ruicai said proudly.
“With a 2-liter kettle, when doing fieldwork in the future, you can drink boiled water and hot tea even if you stay outside for a whole day. How about it? Have you brought a teacup? I have one here. "Okay Tieguanyin, come here."
As he spoke, he actually took out a small tea box. This is really a complete set!
But it is indeed a pleasure to drink a cup of hot tea in the wild. For those who like to drink tea, this is definitely good news.
Looking at Huang Ruicai's proud look, Li Lianjie took off his straw hat and put it on the ground. When he sat on it, he said deliberately.
“Oops, it’s a bit tedious to put so many keys in your pocket!”
When he took out the key, Huang Ruicai’s expression changed slightly, feeling that the tea was a little less fragrant - among the keys in the bunch , there is a big key with the "Wuling" logo, isn't it the key of Wuling!
"Is that black Bingo car yours?"
"I just received the letter yesterday. I thought I couldn't let people wait, so I picked up the car while I was off work. I came back, but driving is still not as comfortable as riding a bicycle. When the sun shines, the car is too hot..."
There is no better way to show off in silence than this. Looking at Jet Li's proud look, Huang Ruicai laughed.
"You, 豼ah... just show off here."
The two old friends looked at each other, and then both burst out laughing, as if they were laughing at their showing off, and of course more Most of them laugh because of their little thoughts that don't grow up.
