Chapter 710 Research on new types of corn
"Director Gao, is the land here like this?"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly spoke, thinking of the white crystals on the ground. Compared with the inland, the land here is More barren.
“You mean those salt-alkali lands?”
“Hmm.”
Gao Yufeng thought for a moment, "Most of the surrounding area is like this. It is dry all year round, with little rainfall and high temperatures, so crop cultivation relies on irrigation."
"The place we are now is still relatively Slight, little impact Some, as for other places, they usually grow cotton, which is very lively."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Under such conditions, it is normal for corn production to decrease."
Yang Xiaotao finished. , Gao Yufeng nodded.
"Although the production is reduced, there is a lot of land for cultivation here, and with the tractor you built, the planting volume of this farm this year will exceed that of five Yangjiazhuangs."
Gao Yufeng said happily.
Quality is not enough, quantity is required.
Here, the tractor presses the iron pear and just holds it on to run forward. The large flat land is convenient for planting, and the efficiency is greatly improved.
"By the way, does the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have a new type of corn that is drought-resistant and salt-alkali resistant?"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly spoke, and Gao Yufeng was suddenly stunned.
The two were silent for a moment. Gao Yufeng wanted to say it several times, but he kept it in his chest and didn't know how to say it.
This idea has never occurred to me.
As for who can come up with such drought-resistant, saline-alkali and high-yield corn, I guess the person in front of me is the most experienced.
"What do you need."
Gao Yufeng skipped the question and trouble, and asked directly.
You know, he is the director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so he still has some power.
Ugh!
Yang Xiaotao just mentioned this and asked if the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has any research in this area. Now it seems that there should be no!
Looking at Gao Yufeng's appearance, it seemed that he was about to arrange a task for him.
But if you think about it carefully, this thing really has room for manipulation. At least there will be this kind of corn in future generations.
It is cultivated not only here but also in saline-alkali lands in other places.
Of course, it is also related to the transformation of soil, the emergence of chemical fertilizers, and scientific management.
"I can try, but there is no guarantee that it will work."
Yang Xiaotao said conservatively, after all, there are no ready-made traits here. If you want to use genetic hybridization, you must have that gene. OK.
“Okay, okay, hahaha.”
"You just go ahead and do it, it's a new project."
Gao Yufeng was a little eager to try it, and his thin face even flushed with excitement, "When the time comes, you tell me how to do it, and if you need anything, I'll find it for you. "
"Even if Dean Zheng knew about it, he would support it unconditionally. "
"Think about it, if it is really done, here, here, these vast saline-alkali lands are all land, how much food will be grown?"
Gao Yu. Feng was already imagining the joy of success and did not see the astonished look on Yang Xiaotao's face.
After a while, Gao Yufeng beat his fists and left the residence happily.
He wants to go back and plan carefully. When spring comes next year, he will set aside a special saline-alkali land for Yang Xiaotao to do experiments.
Hearing the sound left behind when he went out, Yang Xiaotao felt completely bad.
I just said it, but I really don’t have such a strong desire.
I still want to go home as soon as possible.
All in all, whether Yang Xiaotao asked casually or thought about it seriously, Gao Yufeng took it as a serious matter.
I also specially found the director of the farm, Ma Sanxing, and told me to find a piece of land next year, which would be of great use.
In the evening, when Yang Xiaotao was eating, he heard the farm discussing this matter and was speechless again.
At this point, it must be artificial, at least there must be an attitude.
As for being accidentally tricked by Xiaowei into succeeding, well, that was all luck, luck.
After dinner, Yang Xiaotao took an excuse to rest and returned to his residence, where he began to plan how to create this kind of 'drought-resistant and salt-alkali-resistant corn'.
As for whether it is high-yielding or not, if it can grow, you will make money, so don’t worry about that.
So Yang Xiaotao started tinkering with corn seeds in the house.
But looking at the piles of corn seeds on the table, Yang Xiaotao was a little at a loss as to what to do.
Xiaowei moved in and out of the table, her body seemed to be wandering in the water, hersing from time to time to remind herself of her existence.
"Drought resistance, salt-alkali tolerance, at least find these two types."
"Now it seems that these three types of corn can survive in saline-alkali soil, but the saline-alkali soil on the farm is mild. It doesn’t represent everything.”
“Perhaps, if the salinity increases slightly, the land will not be able to survive.”
The pencil in his hand kept turning, and Yang Xiaotao felt helpless.
What a mess.
"Forget it, go and have a rest."
Get up and walk out of the room.
Night, farm.
The bonfire was lit, the wind blew the sparks into the sky, and then went out in the dark.
The farm has a sumptuous meal tonight, and everyone has never been so happy.
So after dinner, there were after-dinner activities.
Everyone gathered around, and in the yellowing light of the fire, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng, Ma Sanxing, sat together, as if they were the most distinguished guests in the room.
As a group of people finished singing, someone else stepped forward to perform a folk dance.
Although there are only more than 200 people here, those who were left in the original team are all members of the team, and they come from all over the world.
One of the soldiers performed a Yue opera piece. Although he could not understand what was being sung, his tone was very charming.
Everyone was warmly welcomed.
No one is laughing, no one is embarrassed, this is an era of enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, and in this farm, people like to go straight.
As the activity progressed, Gao Yu also came off the stage and performed a show of hitting wood with his hands. Lao Ma threw the wood. Gao Yu drew his gun and shot, and the gun hit the target. It was very cool.
Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands. His accuracy and feel were like those of a fitter. In addition to training day and night, he also needed a little bit of talent. "Teacher Yang, come here."
Just when Yang Xiaotao failed, Captain Mu suddenly walked to the campfire, spread his legs, and assumed a Mongolian fighting posture.
"Teacher Yang, you are a warrior by killing the wolves alone."
"And I am also a Batur on the grassland."
"Now, I am willing to challenge you, and I hope you can accept my challenge.”
On the side, Gao Yufeng told Yang Xiaotao that this grassland ritual is a unique way for grassland people to make friends. This kind of competition can make people feel at ease.
The prairie men became brothers in life and death through the friendship of wrestling.
“Okay!”
Yang Xiaotao is not pretentious. He likes such a straightforward man.
Isn’t it just wrestling? He is very strong.
Rolling up his sleeves, Yang Xiaotao walked to the field.
A group of people around stood up and cheered.
Some people called them Batur, and some people called them Teacher Yang. The children’s faces turned red with excitement.
The two stood together. Yang Xiaotao and Mu Duqin were about the same height, but in comparison, Yang Xiaotao was slimmer.
"Captain Mu, I don't know how to wrestle, I just have more strength."
"It's okay, Teacher Yang, we have no rules, whoever falls first loses."
"Okay!"
The two agreed and began to test and fight.
After touching his palms and arms a few times, Mu Duqin understood that Yang Xiaotao was really strong.
If you want to use a direct method to knock Yang Xiaotao down, you can only use some techniques.
Yang Xiaotao had heard of the prairie people's wrestling skills in his previous life, but now he didn't dare to be careless after a fight.
He was careful not to let Mu Duqin grab his clothes.
The two tried again and took note. Finally, Mu Duqin saw the opportunity when Yang Xiaotao's steps were staggered. He moved his right leg directly to the right of Yang Xiaotao. At the same time, he leaned forward, hooked his right hand towards his neck, and directly hit his shoulder. together.
Before Yang Xiaotao could react, he was hugged and his body was thrown to the side.
Thanks to Yang Xiaotao's high physical fitness, he hugged Mu Duqin's neck the moment he fell and pulled him down together.
In fact, Yang Xiaotao has already lost.
The two got up and the competition continued.
Yang Xiaotao suffered the disadvantage of not being able to wrestle, and he couldn't use the king's eight fists to hit him wildly, so he could only try it out with Mu Duqin.
At the same time, Yang Xiaotao was also imitating Mu Duqin's movements and began to learn his skills.
The cheers around him became louder and louder. Finally, Mu Duqin couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was showing his weakness again, he stepped forward and stretched out his right leg again.
But at this time, Yang Xiaotao was already sitting and ready.
This time, before Mu Duqin could use his strength, Yang Xiaotao was the first to hit him.
As a result, Mu Duqin was turned over and knocked down by Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao was also grabbed by Mu Duqin.
The two of them played once each, which is considered a tie.
After waiting for a while, he adjusted his position. When Mu Duqin came closer, he moved his body to the left. Before Mu Duqin could hit him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Duqin's cotton-padded jacket with both hands. With great force, Mu Duqin was lifted into the air with a sudden sound, making Mu Duqin swing his arms wildly in fright.
Ouch~~~
Teacher Yang won, won.
Ao Ao Ao
The children were shouting, and many people on the farm were also cheering.
After holding it up for four or five seconds, Yang Xiaotao put Mu Duqin down.
"Teacher Yang, you are awesome, I admire you."
Mu Duqin regained his composure and walked forward, speaking sincerely.
Yang Xiaotao became humble, "No way, I will be stronger."
Mu Duqin shook his head, "Teacher Yang, we have already mastered your stick skills." I heard about it."
"Yes, Teacher Yang, don't be humble," Lao Ma looked on. , "I saw it with my own eyes that day. Your stick skills were like killing wolves like chickens, one stick at a time, chopping melons and vegetables."
"You don't know, Teacher Yang at that time Jumped off the car and pulled down a Populus euphratica branch, and then repaired it."
So, the next program became Lao Ma's storytelling program, and the name was "Teacher Yang, the Heroic Hero in the Populus euphratica Forest".
Yang Xiaotao followed Mu Duqin back to the original place and sat down. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Then, when he listened to Lao Ma talking about what he was doing, he suddenly remembered.
In this Gobi, aren’t things that are resistant to cold and salt and alkali right in front of us?
Amid the suspicion of Gao Yufeng and others, Yang Xiaotao suddenly oops, then smiled and ran back to the house.
Gao Yufeng thought it was something important, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said it was okay, then closed the door and started tinkering.
In the room, Yang Xiaotao was playing with this palm-sized piece of Populus euphratica wood, which Yang Xiaotao cut from the stick.
After he knocked a group of wolves on the head with a wooden stick last time, Yang Xiaotao felt that the wood was easy to use, so he became interested in this kind of tree that can survive in the desert.
Later, Director Gao introduced that this kind of tree usually reproduces in summer, and its reproduction method is similar to that of dandelions. The seeds are scattered everywhere by the wind. If they fly to dry places, they will become silent. When it floats to a place with water, it will sprout and grow quickly.
I once again thought of the introduction in the information, Populus euphratica, loves light, resists heat, resists drought, resists salt and alkali, and resists wind and sand.
It is the only tall deciduous tree that can form a forest in the desert.
With such high resistance, compared to those delicate plants, it is simply a 'treasure' in the desert.
And he wants to develop corn that is drought-resistant and saline-alkali resistant. This plant has high reference value.
Xiaowei jumped on the palm of her hand, stretching out her little hand to touch the poplar tree from time to time, which was equally novel.
She also likes this strange wood.
Yang Xiaotao frowned, thinking about the possibilities in his heart.
Let’s see if we can study the characteristics of Populus euphratica so that Xiaowei can come up with a kind of salt-alkali tolerant corn.
If other people heard about this, they would definitely laugh and think it was fantastic and impossible.
After all, they are two different plants.
But here in Yang Xiaotao, with Xiaowei, everything is possible.
