Chapter 1921 An accident that shouldn’t have happened
After making the phone call, the two of them walked outside together, watching the people around them busy loading rice into trucks and transporting it to the grain station in the town.
These rice cannot be used as seeds, so they can only be eaten.
And they also need to make it clear to the people at the grain management office in the town that they should not be used as seeds.
“Brother, last time you asked me about the future research direction of hybrid corn, what should I do in the future, right?”
"I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and I really thought of it."
Yang Xiaotao was curious when he heard what Teacher Yuan said, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Teacher Yuan Looking at Yang Xiaotao, he laughed and said, "I learned this from you."
"Me?"
Yang Xiaotao frowned. It seemed that after he created Yangcun No. 1, there was no follow-up. Research.
Just when Yang Xiaotao frowned, Teacher Yuan smiled and said, "We also have a lot of saline-alkali land here."
Yang Xiaotao's eyes widened, "Teacher Yuan, you can't be."
"Yes. , I plan to study salt-alkali tolerant hybrid rice."
Teacher Yuan said seriously.
But Yang Xiaotao clearly saw an unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes.
This is a conflict with myself.
Although Yang Xiaotao explained the situation of cultivating blood jade at that time, he hoped that Teacher Yuan could continue to study high-yield corn.
After all, a thousand pounds is far from the end of hybrid rice. Super rice is what he will do in the future.
But Teacher Yuan seemed to have decided that Yang Xiaotao was definitely on the right path, and he must study salt-alkali resistant rice.
In the end, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to help him determine the research direction as the leader of the technical team.
One is the follow-up research on hybrid rice, and the other is the research on salt-alkali resistant rice.
At this rate, the institute will definitely not have enough manpower.
But this is not what Yang Xiaotao should consider. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has launched branches in many places across the country, and now is the time to take it out.
The two walked and talked about the future direction of agricultural development.
On the other side, after Gao Yufeng hung up the phone, he patted his cheek with his hand and felt a fleshy pain. Only then did he confirm that he had heard correctly.
More than a thousand kilograms.
The yield of rice per mu is more than 1,000 kilograms.
Thinking of this, Gao Yufeng ran out of the office.
He wanted to tell the old dean the good news as soon as possible, and then ask the old dean to return to Sijiu City quickly and not stay here.
For such a big event, we must publicize it well, promote it as soon as possible, and organize more people to learn.
He feels that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will become busier and busier in the future.
The subjects developed in schools in the future must include cross-breeding technology as a key subject.
He also felt that he should encourage the development of other crop hybridization programs.
At this moment, Gao Yufeng thought about many things, but each one made his heart surge.
No, now the old dean is too busy to go back alone.
He will also follow back.
Hold this grand event of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences well.
With excitement, Gao Yufeng found the old dean who was checking the production status of Artemisia annua, and shouted loudly before he got close.
The old dean frowned, and after hearing this, the folds on his face could kill mosquitoes.
Well
Mosquitoes in the northwest are relatively large.
So, after getting the news, the old dean immediately ran back, picked up the phone and called Mr. Tao.
Not long after, news about hybrid rice yielding thousands of catties per mu spread among the upper echelons of Sijiu City.
On this day, many staff members suddenly discovered that their leaders had more smiles on their faces.
Even Mr. Chen, who has always had a headache about domestic economic development, the female secretary also found that she was particularly energetic. Not only did she eat an extra bowl of rice at lunch, but she also went to the machinery factory to inspect the work in the afternoon.
In the past, I would have used one minute as two minutes. How could I have time to inspect it?
But Mr. Chen just went.
I stayed in the machinery factory for most of the afternoon. In the evening, I was accompanied by the leader of the machinery factory to the pharmaceutical factory, and finally went to the chemical factory next door for dinner.
During the dinner, I even listened to Director Xu talk about what kind of research he was going to do on drugs, which made Mr. Chen extremely happy.
In short, after today, Mr. Chen’s face became more and more smiling, and he was far less distressed than before.
Minfu City
While Yang Xiaotao and others were happy about their harvest, a group of people were preparing nervously.
The full moon overhead is getting brighter and brighter, and the moonlight shining down illuminates the observers on the hillside.
At this moment, in their field of vision, under the light not far away, a group of people were doing final inspections.
"Director Ran, the work will be completed in half an hour."
Among the crowd on the hillside, a short young man stepped forward to report the situation.
Hearing this, Zhong Ran’s father, who was holding a telescope, nodded slightly but did not speak.
What needs to be said has been said long ago.
What should be done has been done long ago.
Everything is ready now, just waiting for the next experiment.
Seeing that Ran's father didn't speak, the young man stood aside.
The faces of the people around him did not relax, but became more solemn.
They came all the way for this experiment, in order to familiarize themselves with the impact of the rotation of the earth on the rocket, and the flight conditions of the rocket in similar dimensions.
And for today, they prepared day and night.
This is for this experiment.
Compared to the nervousness of the people around him, Ran's father's calm face showed more anxiety.
He knew exactly how the funds for this experiment came from.
If he fails to succeed, he feels that he is sorry for the support of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian, and even more sorry for the hard work of the comrades around him.
"Xiao Huang, let the comrades make the final confirmation. They must be careful and careful."
The young man just stood there for a while and heard Ran's father explain.
"Director, I have already told the comrades."
"Comrades have checked three times. Where there were problems before, check them at least three times to ensure that there will be no problems."
"There is also a third-stage engine, which is now ready after improvement."
Xiao Huang said seriously. In fact, what he did most during this period was to urge everyone to check and check again.
And this is also Ran’s father’s repeated request.
Ran's father didn't say anything after hearing Xiao Huang's words.
Perhaps I am too anxious.
Care will lead to chaos.
Breathe hard and try to stay calm.
Ran's father looked at the long sword standing upright in the dark night again.
I thought of a sentence I once heard, "In satellite development, missiles and satellites are actually mutually exclusive and mutually reinforcing." Launching a satellite is the same thing as the rocket acceleration required to launch a missile. ’
But when we actually started doing it, we discovered that there is still a difference.
Especially now, after several failed experiments, he felt that it would be more difficult for this rocket to fly into space and launch satellites. It even caused him more trouble than when he developed mushroom eggs.
“Director, the oxygen injection has started.”
Just when Ran's father was stunned, Xiao Huang beside him reminded him.
Ran's father quickly looked away, and then looked at the people working below.
I saw three or five people pushing a cart with dark cans on it.
He knew that it was the fuel used for rocket launches, liquid oxygen.
The entire rocket is divided into three stages, and the first two stages use this fuel.
As for the last stage, it uses a solid motor, which also uses solid propellant.
This experiment is mainly to test whether the ignition column of the three-stage engine can work normally, whether the engine can ensure continuous flight, and the linkage test between the second and third stages.
The last test data has proven that their experiment is effective and making progress.
So in this test, they also responded with confidence.
Ran's father watched as several people were injecting fuel into the rocket and knew that this was the final preparation before launch.
"Are all the observation points around ready?"
Ran's father was still worried, feeling that if he didn't ask, he would feel itchy in his heart.
"There are three observation points on the road and two observation ships in the sea. They are all ready!"
"Where are the surrounding areas? Have everyone been evacuated?"
< br>Ran's father looked around, very cautiously.
"Everyone in a ten-mile radius has been notified, and everyone nearby has left."
A man stood up next to him and explained.
After hearing this, Father Ran turned around and frowned. When he saw the speaker lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, he knew that this must not have been done well.
But Ran’s father also knows that there is always a distance between reality and imagination.
He knew that this was the rhetoric of the local leaders, but he was not sure whether it was implemented in this way.
After all, there are too many people here. For immigrants like them, in a strange working environment and an unfamiliar place, especially with language barriers, completing the task cannot be accomplished by just a few guards.
Ran's father took a deep breath and said nothing more.
As long as the experiment is successful, everything is easy to say.
Without any further words, Ran’s father prepared to find a place to rest.
Injecting fuel into a rocket is a technical job, and it takes a long time.
Now that everything was ready, he was just waiting for the rocket to take off. He also wanted to take a rest and stand up to take a look when it took off.
But just as Ran's father entered the tent, there was a sudden exclamation from the people behind him.
Then there were constant screams.
Ran's father immediately turned around and looked at the source of the sound, only to see Xiao Huang and others with shocked faces, and even more frightened sounds erupted from their throats.
“What’s wrong?”
Ran's father said as he ran forward and came to the observation point, his eyes were about to burst.
I saw two fireballs running under the rocket in the distance below.
Needless to say, it must be the comrade working below.
Just what is going on?
Why did it catch fire?
"Go and save people, why are you standing still!"
At this moment Ran's father came back to his senses and shouted to the people around him.
"Director, it's the tank for liquid oxygen. It was the tank that first emitted sparks and then sprayed on the comrades."
Before the man could finish speaking, Ran's father said He waved his hand to interrupt.
“Go and save people first, save people.”
"Yes!"
Boom~~~
Boom~
Before everyone could run down, two violent explosions were heard not far away.
There were ripples in the air, and Father Ran felt a wave of heat coming from down the hillside.
After a moment, he rushed up the hillside and knocked him to the ground, where his body lay as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
This is because he stayed far away. If he came close, he would probably die.
The people around were in even more distress, especially those who rushed to save others. They were so shocked by the huge explosion that they vomited blood.
After Ran's father stood up again, he staggered to the observation point, and then a cold air hit his heart.
The launch rocket that was originally standing on the ground, due to the explosion of two liquid oxygen tanks, caused the explosion of liquid oxygen inside the rocket. At this time, the first-stage rocket had exploded and lost its shape, and the second-stage rocket had also become deformed. Even the third-stage rocket hit the ground hard, and the damage was inevitable.
What's more important is the human damage.
The researchers working below lost at least two staff members in this explosion without warning.
And others who don’t know, there are more.
“How could this happen?”
“How could it explode.”
Ran's father sat down on the ground, stunned.
“Hello!”
“Who is it?”
The phone suddenly rang in the office.
In the Seventh Machinery Department, the supervisor on duty was holding the microphone, looking drowsy.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, Director Wang yawned.
It's already midnight, why should I make a call at this time?
Although I'm on duty, I can't talk about anything during the day.
You have to call me late at night.
However, Director Wang quickly adjusted. If something really happened, calling him this late at night would definitely be an important matter.
Then Director Wang heard Ran's father's voice on the other side.
"Director Wang, I am Ran Zhiqiang. I have something to report."
"Director Ran, aren't you in Minfu? What is this? The test was successful?"
>
Director Wang said jokingly while holding back his yawn.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a heavy voice coming from the other side.
"We failed. An accident occurred while infusing liquid oxygen."
As Ran's father's voice came, Director Wang immediately trembled, "Director Ran, are you kidding?"
< br>"No!"
Ran's father just spit out two words.
Director Wang thought for a moment and then said, "Director Ran, please wait a moment, I will go find the chief."
"Okay, please hurry up!"
Hang up the phone, Director Wang is still sleepy, a layer of cold sweat breaks out on the hair on his back.
Without thinking too much, Director Wang hurriedly ran out, preparing to go to Wang's hometown.
This matter cannot be concealed and can only be dealt with as soon as possible.
