Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1182 Recycling Agriculture

This time at Nyasaran Agricultural College, Gao Wei not only strives for more in-depth cooperation, but also hopes to invite his senior Dong Run to work in Victoria State.

Dong Run was the most outstanding graduate of Gao Wei's class. After Gao Wei graduated, he went to work in Nyasaland Agricultural Company, while Dong Run stayed at the then Nyasaland University to teach. Now Dong Run is also teaching while teaching. Work in the laboratory, responsible for the improvement of breeding cattle.

The cattle in southern Africa are mainly Angus cattle. Over the years, the Agricultural College has never stopped improving the population, trying to find breeding cattle that are more suitable for breeding in southern Africa.

The improvement of varieties cannot be completed in a day or two, but often takes years as a unit, and this work may take decades.

Nyasaland University started the improvement work of breeding cattle a long time ago, and this work has been going on for 15 years now.

Through the joint efforts of all staff, the breed improvement work has achieved remarkable results. Compared with Angus cattle raised in southern Africa, the meat quality is better, the meat yield is higher, and the milking days of the cows are shorter. More, milk production increased by about ten percent.

The laboratory where Dong Run works is located in Nyasaland Agricultural College, but every week, Dong Run spends at least half of his time working on the farm affiliated to the Agricultural College. The farm under the Agricultural College covers an area of ​​about 500 acres and raises more than one Thousands of breeding cattle not only conduct continuous research on Angus cattle, but also introduce various breeds of cattle from all over the world for crossbreeding, trying to breed better breeds of cattle.

When Gao Wei came to the laboratory, Dong Run had just received the latest experimental results and was about to go to the school headquarters to report to Harrison McIntosh.

"What's the good news? You look so happy, you must have made a new breakthrough." Gao Wei and Dong Run have a good relationship. When they were studying at Nyasaland University, Gao Wei and Dong Run were roommates. At that time, Dong Run Known for his super hands-on ability, he has become Harrison McIntosh's right-hand man during his school days.

"There is indeed good news. Look, this is the experimental result I just got. If the data is correct, then we will have the best breeding bull ever." Dong Run was very excited. The progress is quite good. The emergence of each new variety not only represents a rich personal honor, but also represents sufficient economic value.

The agricultural college's improvement work on breeding cattle does not need the financial support of the Nyasaland State Government at all. With its own hematopoietic ability, the agricultural college can not only support the improvement of the laboratory, but also maintain the operation of the agricultural college. The students of the agricultural college, You can get a living allowance of about 50 rand per year, which is roughly equivalent to a normal person's annual salary.

In other words, in Nyasaland, as long as they are admitted to university, they can basically be financially independent, which also prompts more and more families to increase investment in education.

About ten years ago, the Agricultural College introduced Simmental cattle for improved breeding. Simmental cattle are native to the Swiss Alps. They are not purebred beef cattle, but a variety of milk and meat.

Simmental cattle not only have a high milk yield, but also have a meat production performance that is not inferior to that of specialized beef cattle breeds. They are also very good in service performance. They are large breeds that can be used for both milk, meat and service.

Through the improvement of Simmental cattle, the current Simmental cattle have increased by more than 30.00% in terms of milk production and meat yield compared with the original breed.

The team led by Dong Run discovered that the offspring of a Simmental bull named "Cromwell" has the characteristics of fast growth, early maturity, and good meat quality, and has excellent promotion value. Dong Run hopes to get Harrison · With the support of Mackintosh, he increased his investment in this project and promoted the promotion of new varieties as soon as possible.

"It looks good. If the professor is not willing to invest more, maybe our Nyasaland Agricultural Company can invest in this project." Although Gao Wei has left the front line of scientific research, he can still understand the scientific research report. Gao Wei believes in Dong Run's strength , if the data obtained by Dong Run's team is correct, then this project has great potential.

"This was originally a cooperative project with Nyasaland Agricultural Company—" Dong Run's words made Gao Wei very depressed. Nyasaland Agricultural Company, Nyasaland Branch and Victoria Branch are also very powerful. The difference is that the current Victoria branch has just been established for a few years, and there is a huge gap compared with the Nyasaland branch in all aspects.

Especially in terms of scientific research, the Nyasaland Agricultural College is located in Nyasaland, and has cooperated with the Nyasaland branch for many years. Even if there are good projects, the Victoria branch cannot.

"Old Dong, do you want to visit Victoria? I'll help you build a laboratory and give you enough funds to help you set up your own research group. I can provide you with more than 5000 rand of scientific research funding every year. A farm with an area of ​​[-] hectares is whatever you want.” Gao Wei spared no expense, the gap in strength cannot be made up in a short time, Gao Wei can only find a way to overtake in a curve.

"Get rich?" Dong Run was lying when he said that he was not tempted. Scientific researchers hope to realize their personal value and also hope to obtain good living conditions. It is really vulgar to directly talk about money, but most of the time, money is the main way to prove value.

To put it bluntly, Professor Heslin living in the attic to conduct scientific research is research, and Abu living in a mansion like that, directing a team of hundreds of people to work for Abu is also research.

For most scientific researchers, they definitely tend to live like Abu.

"No, our Victoria branch only has [-] rand a year in scientific research funding. I don't want to waste money on worthless projects, but if it's you, even if you can't make achievements in three or two years, I am also willing to give you time, I believe in your strength." Gao Wei is really not flattering, Dong Run has actually made a lot of achievements in the past few years of staying in school, and obtained rich financial returns, which fully proves Dong Run's value, If Dong Run's scientific research results were of no value, they would not be promoted at all.

The scientific research competition in Nyasaland is very cruel and fierce. For example, the Nyasaland Agricultural College established a project review team. The review team reviews the projects of researchers and supervises the use of scientific research funds after they are allocated. If there is a problem in this process, or if the funds are spent but there is no progress, then the impact on the researchers will be very large, and some people will even be expelled from the Nyasaran Agricultural College for falsifying the results.

The consequences of falsifying scientific research results are extremely serious. Nyasaland began to try to establish a credit system a few years ago. For Nyasaland people, economic bankruptcy is not terrible. As long as you work hard, there is always a chance to turn around At that time, once the credit went bankrupt, the person concerned would be ruined and lose the chance to stand up forever, and it would have a serious impact on his relatives.

Specifically, if a farmer in Nyasaland deliberately sells a sick cow as a healthy one, the credit of the farmer will go bankrupt, and all purchasers will no longer buy from this farm. For agricultural products, the relevant regulatory authorities will also severely punish untrustworthy farmers. The standard of punishment is generally about ten times the illegal income.

In other words, if the sick cow is sold for 20 rand, the farmer will be fined around 200 rand and will cause a significant loss in personal credit.

Under such circumstances, in Nyasaland, bad things like cheating, kidnapping and stealing really rarely happen. Every case caused by personal credit will attract the general attention of the whole society. Those who are lucky will cause great deterrence, and the cost of breaking the law is so high that people dare not try.

"Hehe, for the documents in your hand, as long as you give me another two years, I can complete this project." Dong Run is confident, but this project can only be completed in Nyasaland Agricultural College, and the results can only belong to Ni Owned by the Assaran branch.

Dong Run's ongoing project has always been supported by the Nyasaland branch, and the annual grant is [-] to [-] rand.

In other words, these achievements were all obtained during Dong Run's work, so even if Dong Run went to the Victoria branch, he could not take away the project he is currently researching.

Of course, Dong Run can find a new direction for research, but the Nyasaland branch will not prohibit Dong Run from engaging in related work in this industry for many years.

"In this way, do you have a project that has potential but has no time to start?" Gao Wei took another approach. For researchers like Dong Run, in most cases, there is not one project at hand, but multiple teams are working on it at the same time. Research.

To put it bluntly, with great power comes great responsibility.

"Of course, do you want to help me?" Dong Run didn't refuse Gao Wei, after all, he was the brother who slept on the upper bunk.

"Tell me quickly, what project?" Gao Wei was very interested, as long as the project was suitable, Gao Wei didn't mind doing some preliminary preparations first.

"Last year, the Agricultural College conducted some research on circular agriculture. Do you know what circular agriculture is?" Dong Run really didn't laugh at Gao Wei, but circular agriculture is still just a theory and has not been put into actual research.

"I've heard of some, but it seems that it's only suitable for small farms, not large farms." Gao Wei is not sure. He is now an administrative official, and it is rare for him to be sensitive to technology.

"How is it possible that circular agriculture is suitable for small farms as well as large farms, and because of the characteristics of circular agriculture, if it is a large farm, it will have advantages that small farms do not have." Dong Run corrected, although circular agriculture is now only It's a theory, but Dong Run has obviously thought deeply about it.
