Chapter 215 Cold-resistant and high-yield rice!

Sunday, February 1994, 1.

Cao Chunyuan came to Dazhangzi Agricultural Research Center early in the morning, and was going to call Cen Shuhong to welcome Wang Manni who came to Dazhangzi to help.

These two are Cao Chunyuan's right-hand men now, and Cao Chunyuan plans to introduce them to each other so that they can better hand over work in the future.

But Cen Shuhong insisted on taking Cao Chunyuan to the experimental field of the laboratory to check the three groups of experimental rice planted by the experimental group.Seeing that there was still time, Cao Chunyuan followed Cen Shuhong to the planting area.

The rice project of Cen Shuhong's experimental group is divided into 3 groups, namely: rice cultivated under normal conditions, rice cultivated under cold conditions, and rice cultivated under drought conditions.

The first place the two came to was the normally cultivated rice planting area.

At this time, the rice in the planting area is basically mature, and the rice fields that were green two months ago have become yellow and green.On the top of each rice plant, clusters of golden ears of rice hang.

Looking at the drooping degree of the ears of rice, one knows that the harvest must be good.

Cao Chunyuan nodded lightly, and said: "It looks pretty good, and the ears of rice are quite full. But I remember that our experimental field was sown in early October, and it is barely 10 days old today. The growth period of ordinary 'Zhengzhou rice' Around 100 days, the time difference is a bit much, right?"

Cao Chunyuan has been instilled professional knowledge by Cen Shuhong many times, and now she has a certain understanding of rice cultivation.

Cen Shuhong blinked, Xindao Boss, you have finally grown up and learned to answer quickly, I was about to tell you about this.

"Mr. Cao, that's why I called you here. The rice we cultivated normally is about the same as expected. The growth cycle of rice has been shortened by about 20 days. This is a breakthrough!"

"Just mature quickly?"

uh~
Cen Shuhong's tone faltered, and the planting cycle was shortened by 20 days. This kind of breakthrough is enough for me to write several international papers in SCI.

You just said lightly, that's all?

If you are not my boss, you can just see if I K or not!

"Mr. Cao, the rice has not been harvested yet, and the only definite result that can be obtained at present is that the growth cycle is shortened.

As for data such as seed setting rate, yield per mu, and rice grain quality, more accurate data can only be given after the rice is officially harvested. We have not reached that point yet! "

"I haven't reached that point yet, why are you calling me over in a hurry for ephedra?"

Cao Chunyuan turned around and was about to leave, but Cen Shuhong pulled her back. She hugged Cao Chunyuan's arm tightly and said, "Mr. Cao, don't rush to leave, there are still surprises in the future!"

"Oh, another two groups of test fields?"

"Yeah." Cen Shuhong nodded vigorously.

"Okay, let go of me first, what's the point of making a fuss?"

"Hehe~"

Although Cen Shuhong let go of Cao Chunyuan, she still held on to Cao Chunyuan's sleeve, for fear that Cao Chunyuan would run away suddenly.

Soon, the two came to the second rice test field.

As soon as she entered the greenhouse, Cao Chunyuan felt a gust of cold wind. The temperature of this greenhouse and the temperature of the ordinary planting area just now are basically two seasons.

Without Cen Shuhong's reminder, Cao Chunyuan knew that this greenhouse must be an experimental field under cold conditions.

The idea of ​​cold-resistant and drought-resistant rice was proposed by her personally. Seeing the experimental fields that are about to mature now, Cao Chunyuan is inevitably a little excited.

"The rice is growing quite well, and it seems to be no different from the rice in the normal environment, which is a bit beyond my expectation."

Cen Shuhong smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Cao, go up and take a closer look to see if you can find the difference between these cold-resistant rice and ordinary rice."

When Cen Shuhong said this, Cao Chunyuan was really interested. She walked quickly to the edge of the experimental field, squatted beside the field ridge, and looked up and down at a rice plant near the field ridge.

She found that the biggest difference between this rice plant and the rice in the greenhouse just now is that the whole rice plant is still green, and only a small part of the leaves are yellow.

However, the ears of rice had turned yellow and fell down heavily, as if they had matured.

Secondly, the rice plants in this experimental field are slightly taller and thicker than ordinary rice plants. Apart from these, Cao Chunyuan really can't find any difference.

Cao Chunyuan observed for a while and stood up after she couldn't find any other differences.

"The rice plants here grow thicker, and the growth cycle seems to be slower, but nothing else."

Cen Shuhong blinked, and looked at Cao Chunyuan with a smirk on her face, "Mr. Cao, do you want to add something?"

Cao Chunyuan: I really want to give you a hammer. Are you going to give me a test?
Cao Chunyuan rolled up her sleeves, "Hurry up, I still have work to do."

"Alright alright!"

Seeing Cao Chunyuan's anxious appearance, Cen Shuhong stopped playing charades with her and revealed the biggest gap between the two.

"Mr. Cao, what you see is still too superficial.

Although the rice plants in this greenhouse are still green, it does not mean that the rice is immature. You can pinch the rice ears.The moisture content in immature rice seeds is very high, but the rice seeds in this greenhouse have begun to harden, which is a sign of maturity.In another week, the harvest will be ready.

Also, you have found that the rice plants are thicker, but haven't you found that the ears of rice are bigger and have more forks? "

"Oh, I see!"

Cao Chunyuan actually discovered the difference in the rice ears just now, but most of her attention was attracted by the green plants of the rice.She actually neglected the most important ear of rice, this is indeed her negligence.

"The ears of rice are getting bigger, doesn't it mean that the harvest is higher?"

Cen Shuhong nodded vigorously, with a very smug smile on her face.

Thinking of the success of her experiment, Cao Chunyuan also became happy. After all, the idea of ​​cultivating cold-resistant and drought-resistant rice was proposed by her.

Now that the experiment is successful, she feels a sense of accomplishment.

"In this situation, can you estimate its yield per mu?"

"Hey, Mr. Cao, guess what!"

Cao Chunyuan frowned, Xiao Mian was playing word games with me, right?Although I am not as professional as you in this regard, don't forget who gave you these rice seeds.

The yield per mu of ordinary 'Zhengzhou rice' is about 300 kilograms, and after secondary cultivation in Space Lingquan, the yield can be increased by about one-third.

The seeds that Cao Chunyuan gave to Cen Shuhong were all cultivated using the space spirit spring, so the basic yield of these rice is about 400 kilograms per mu.

Looking at the ear size of cold-resistant rice, it seems that there is not much change, and it is estimated that the yield can be increased by about one-fifth at most.

"The yield per mu is about 450 kilograms?"

"what?"

Cen Shuhong, who was laughing so hard just now, was stunned on the spot, looking at Cao Chunyuan in surprise.In her opinion, a layman like Cao Chunyuan should not be able to judge the yield per mu of newly cultivated rice.

However, Cao Chunyuan's prediction result is exactly the same as Cen Shuhong's prediction result, which is a bit outrageous.

"Mr. Cao, how did you guess it?"

Cao Chunyuan thought to herself that I am not a professional, so I am blind, and the difference is only a hundred and eighty catties, which should not be too much.

"Are you right or not?"

"Hehe~"

Cen Shuhong smiled awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "The specific data will not be known until after the harvest, but the data you gave is similar to the data I estimated."

"Oh, the yield per mu is quite good. Oh, no, why is the yield per mu of cold-resistant rice higher than that of normal rice?"
