Chapter 297 Shocked Agricultural Science Academy Experts
When the experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences heard that Li Yang had grown new high-yield varieties of wheat and rice, they were surprised and delighted.
The expert group was led by Wang Zhiguo, the president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. More than a dozen people got off the car in a mighty procession.
A group of people walked through the wheat fields and saw endless waves of wheat rolling in the wind. The green wheat ears were bent with full and heavy grains.
"This wheat is growing so well! It's obviously a high-yield variety!" Dean Wang exclaimed, reaching out to pick a wheat ear and weighing it twice.
Zhang Jianguo, a wheat expert accompanying us, also said: "Well, judging from the ear shape and grain weight, the yield per mu is probably more than 1,000 kilograms!"
Everyone was moved after hearing this.
You know, looking across the country, the average wheat yield per mu is only 300 to 400 kilograms, and the average farmer can only make 600 to 700 kilograms at most.
Unexpectedly, under Li Yang's leadership, the yield could be multiplied several times, approaching the 1,000-jin mark! Then, the group came to the rice fields.
All I saw were fields of rice, with thick stalks and broad leaves, dark green like dye.
"Look at the rice stalks, they are as thick as saplings!" "The rice ears are big and full, there are hundreds of grains in a random stroke!"
Everyone bent down to take a closer look, and they were all amazed.
Zhang Jianguo estimated and exclaimed: "At this rate of growth, I'm afraid the yield per mu will reach 2,000 kilograms! Engineer Li, you are amazing!"
Li Yang smiled and waved his hands, saying generously: "You all came at the right time. The new variety will soon mature. I hope you can give me your advice when the time comes. 1?8"
The group nodded repeatedly, praising him for his broad-mindedness and extraordinary bearing.
As he was talking, Sun Delin suddenly came running over with a beaming face and shouted excitedly: "Engineer Li, Dean, everyone come and see! We have also had a good harvest of corn!"
Sun Delin led everyone to the cornfield, where they saw corn stalks waving in the wind, their fiery red ears bent under the weight of the corn, and their thick cobs as thick as arms.
"Oh my God! This corn looks like it has mutated!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's a mutation, it's called a superior variety! Look, the stalk is as thick as a pillar, and even three or four grown men can't bend it!" Sun Delin said proudly.
Everyone looked carefully and saw that the corn was growing well. The plants were more than three meters tall, and the ears were large and the grains were full. It was indeed extraordinary.
"I've heard that it's a high-yield corn, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing!" Corn experts exclaimed?1?8
"It's not just high-yielding, it's also disease-resistant and lodging-resistant, has strong adaptability, and is easy to grow. It's simply good news for us farmers!" Sun Delin introduced in a torrent of words.
Li Yang smiled modestly and said to the experts: "It's nothing special. I just became famous for it. Otherwise, how could I, who is a mechanical engineer, understand this?"
After hearing this, everyone admired Li Yang's humility even more.
He is just a mechanic, but he is so good at agriculture. He is really a genius!
The group was very excited and looked around the fields.
From peanuts to soybeans, from sorghum to millet, everything planted by Li Yang is growing well and there is a good sign of a good harvest.
These green miracles amazed everyone.
For a time, the farm was crowded and bustling with people. Experts were running around, checking the seedlings, collecting specimens, or picking corn in the fields.
Li Yang and Sun Delin were busy greeting people on the side and having a lot of fun.
When the sun was setting, everyone sat together contentedly and started the discussion.
Dean Wang spoke first and said frankly that he was stunned by the new varieties in front of him.
He held the corn in one hand and the rice ear in the other, and said with deep emotion: "I have been doing agricultural research for my whole life, but I have never seen such a high-yield and easy-to-grow crop!
If this is promoted, within three years, our country's grain output will double!
By the way, Mr. Li, I heard that the hybrid rice you cultivated is a little difficult to collect, and it needs to be manually plucked out one by one?" Li Yang nodded and told the truth: "Yes, hybrid rice does not have the self-incompatibility gene, so the anther sacs need to be removed manually during pollination, which is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.
But if we don't pick them, the seeds won't be full and the yield will be greatly reduced.
"That's natural, cross-pollination." Dean Wang thought, "How great would it be if we could cross-breed ourselves, without having to pick the flowers manually?"
Li Yang was startled when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "The dean is wise! Why didn't I think of that? In that case, I have to quickly breed a self-incompatible variety!"
Everyone heard this and said it was wonderful. This is great wisdom!
Next, several experts expressed their views on how to promote new varieties and improve cultivation techniques. The discussion was very lively. Li Yang listened and took notes, nodding frequently.
As a person with a background in mechanics, he knew a little about these agricultural techniques, but his knowledge was far less comprehensive and thorough than that of professionals.
The discussion lasted until nightfall, then it ended.
Before leaving, Dean Wang solemnly held Li Yang's hand and said with emotion: "Engineer Li, you have made great contributions to the country's agricultural research!
Go give a lecture at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences someday, so that more people can learn from your good experience!"
Others also echoed, saying that Li Yang was a pillar of the country and had a bright future.
Li Yang thanked him repeatedly and declined with a smile.
After seeing the experts off, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt mixed emotions.
As a time traveler, Li Yang naturally knows everything about the future development of agriculture.
But he understood very well that these so-called "high-yield varieties" were far inferior to those in his original time and space.
In that era of rapid development, the area of arable land decreased sharply, excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides caused serious damage to the environment.
The situation of farmers is becoming increasingly difficult.
On one hand, the purchase price does not cover the cost, and on the other hand, the commodity prices are skyrocketing. How many farmers have become cheap labor in the city? 1?8 Thinking of this, Li Yang felt a bit bitter in his heart.
He secretly vowed that in this era, he must guide agriculture onto the path of healthy and sustainable development.
Let farmers farm with dignity and keep the land vibrant forever! Li Yang firmly believes that science and technology are the primary productive forces.
With the powerful tool of the third-generation computer, he has the capital to change everything!
Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Li Yang looked up and saw General Lin in military uniform, walking in with a big smile on his face.
"Li Yang, long time no see, I hope you are well!" General Lin greeted cheerfully.
The two hugged each other warmly and sat down together.
Li Yang was busy pouring tea, and asked with a smile: "General, I am sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder if you are..."
General Lin laughed and said directly: "No, I came here to thank you and to ask you for something."
It turned out that with the help of Li Yang, the military had begun using third-generation computers for military command and combat simulation.
From the formulation of combat plans to the simulation of troop deployment, everything was done in a mighty way and broadened the horizons of the officers and soldiers.
Nowadays, various military services are vying to apply, all wanting to try out this advanced weapon.
The reason why General Lin came to visit Li Yang this time was to ask him to keep up the good work and help develop a batch of military hardware equipment.
"Engineer Li, you also know that our army's current equipment is still relatively old and backward, and some key equipment still needs to rely on others. Now we have finally waited for the opportunity for independent research and development, and we hope you can help us!" General Lin said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Li Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
How could he not know how weak the military industry of Xinyan Country was in this era?
Whether it is electronic equipment or guided weapons, most of them rely on imports and are controlled by others.
Now that we have finally found a breakthrough in computers, how can we not seize the opportunity and make a big move?
Thinking of this, Li Yang's eyes became more determined.
He smiled and said to General Lin: "Don't worry, I will do my best to help the army if it needs anything! With our independently developed chips, why worry about not being able to produce cutting-edge weapons?"...
After seeing General Lin off, Li Yang sat alone in his office, thinking hard.
What does the army need? Tanks and cannons. In his opinion, these have little to do with third-generation computers.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of drones.
Yes, in this era, drones are just getting started.
And it happens to be a great application of computer technology!
Li Yang recalled that drones had already taken shape in the early 20th century.
At that time, the warring parties tried to bomb the enemy positions with hot air balloons carrying bombs.
During World War I, radio remote control technology began to be used and people produced the first batch of fixed-wing drones.
But most of them are target aircraft, used to train air defense forces, and do not actually carry out combat missions.
It was not until the late stages of World War II that the DH.82B "Queen Bee" drone was developed.
The images are transmitted back to the ground control station using a television camera, and then controlled by the remote pilot.
However, due to the limitations of electronic equipment at the time, especially microcomputer technology, the remote control distance was very short and the functions were very simple. 1 UAVs have never become a mainstream combat force.
Now, the New Yan Nation has the third-generation aircraft, a powerful weapon, and drone technology can be fully utilized!
Especially Li Yang, who came from the future, already had a subversive design in his mind.
Quadcopter drone!
That’s right, it’s the most classic enclosed fuselage in later generations, with a gimbal camera on top and four rotors installed at the bottom.
Based on Li Yang's understanding of future technology, this quad-rotor drone is definitely a unique weapon in this era!
Compared with fixed-wing aircraft, it is more flexible in takeoff and landing; compared with helicopters, it is more maneuverable.
By adjusting the speed and angle of the blades, various flight movements such as vertical, tilt, and translation can be achieved.
Combined with the intelligent flight control algorithm, it has strong wind resistance and stable cruising, making it very suitable for performing tasks in complex terrain.
The most important thing is that it is small and exquisite, easy to hide and maneuver, used for reconnaissance, tracking, and positioning, which can greatly enhance battlefield perception?1?8
Thinking of this, Li Yang could no longer sit still.
He jumped up, rushed to his desk in two steps, and began to draft frantically.
