Rebirth 90: I rely on farming to cultivate a master scholar

Chapter 255 Investigation 【Addition 2】

"Tape measure~"

"what?"

Cao Chunyuan, who was following Pei Shaorong, was taken aback for a moment. She was following Pei Shaorong to observe the withered rice seedlings.Looking up and down, she felt that these rice plants looked similar, and there was no difference.

However, professionals like Pei Shaorong can judge the variety of rice from the appearance of the rice, and even estimate its yield. This skill is really too buggy.

"Well, wait a moment, I'll send someone to get it for you."

With that said, Cao Chunyuan stood up and waved to Yan Zichuan who was not far away, and Yan Zichuan hurried to Cao Chunyuan's direction.

"Go to the laboratory quickly, prepare a few sets of tools that you usually use, and give them to the seniors."

Hearing this, Yan Zichuan slapped his forehead violently, blaming himself for making such a low-level mistake.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, I'll go get ready right away."

Pei Shaorong, who was on the side, watched Cao Chunyuan communicate with Yan Zichuan, and didn't say much. He continued to lower his head and fiddle with the rice in her hand.

Soon, Yan Zichuan sent a box of tape measures to Cao Chunyuan. Cao Chunyuan didn't hand the tape measure directly to Pei Shaorong, but was going to take the opportunity to show it in front of Pei Shaorong.

"Academician Pei, which group of rice are you going to measure?"

Pei Shaorong glanced at the measuring tape in Cao Chunyuan's hand, and said, "Just this one!"

"okay."

Cao Chunyuan hurriedly bent down and put one end of the tape on the ground, stretched the tape until it reached the top of the rice, and then observed the data on the tape.

"Academician Pei, 91cm!"

Cao Chunyuan was still foolishly waiting for Pei Shaorong to praise her, but Pei Shaorong gave her a fierce look and asked, "Which bastard teacher taught you such a measurement?"

Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan blinked aggrievedly. She had no professional knowledge in agriculture, so naturally she didn't know how to measure.

"Pick up the ears of rice and measure the total length."

"Oh~"

Only then did Cao Chunyuan know that the so-called plant height was not the height from the root to the ear of rice, but that the drooping ear of rice had to be picked up to measure the distance from the root to the top of the ear.

Long knowledge!

After Cao Chunyuan measured again, she got the data of 109cm. In fact, Cen Shuhong and her experimental team had already calculated this data, and printed several copies of the prepared data in advance.

However, the big shots didn't seem to agree with the data they provided, and they were all observing on their own. Cao Chunyuan, who wanted to be courteous, became unlucky.

"You count how many seeds these rice plants have produced."

"Oh well!"

Cao Chunyuan didn't dare to delay, put the measuring tape in her hand on the ground, and counted the rice grains very seriously. Seeing Cao Chunyuan's serious look, the corners of Pei Shaorong's mouth raised slightly, but she quickly disappeared.

After a while, Cao Chunyuan wiped the tip of her slightly sweaty nose, turned her head to look at Pei Shaorong, and said cautiously, "Academician Pei, the eight rices are 8, 109, 110, 112"

"Hmm~"

Pei Shaorong nodded, and continued to ask: "What about the seed setting rate?"

what?
Cao Chunyuan was dumbfounded again. Just now Pei Shaorong asked her to count how many seeds the rice had produced, but didn't ask her about the seed setting rate.What's more, she doesn't know much about the fruit rate.

She feels that every rice seed seems to have produced seeds, and there seems to be no empty shell, but theoretically, it is impossible to have a [-]% seed setting rate.

She was a little suspicious that Pei Shaorong was targeting her!
Cao Chunyuan blinked and said, "Academician Pei, I don't know much about this!"

"It's a pity that you have developed such an excellent rice, and you don't even know this most basic knowledge. If you were my student, I would train you 800 times a day. Look at it, I will teach you how to separate the empty shells."

After speaking, Pei Shaorong personally demonstrated and taught Cao Chunyuan how to distinguish seeds from empty shells.Cao Chunyuan's eyes widened, and she listened to Pei Shaorong's explanation so intently that she didn't even notice that Li Ying was beside her.

Seeing Pei Shaorong teaching Cao Chunyuan, Li Ying couldn't help but recall the scene when she first studied with Pei Shaorong.

However, she is not comparable to Cao Chunyuan. Cao Chunyuan is a layman. When she was studying with Pei Shaorong, she was already a senior in senior year, and she directly studied for undergraduate and master.

If she, like Cao Chunyuan, didn't even understand the most basic things, it would be no wonder she wasn't kicked out by Pei Shaorong.

"Have you learned?"

"I see, thank you Academician Pei."

"Humph~"

Academician Pei snorted coldly, didn't say much, and turned to look at Li Ying who was beside him.Li Ying didn't wait for Pei Shaorong to speak, and began to report on her own.

"Teacher, I just checked. Mr. Cao is also planting an upgraded version of 'Zhengzhou rice'. Regardless of the height of the rice plants, the shape and trend of the leaves are similar to those in my group of experiments.

The biggest difference is the total number of rice grains and seed setting rate. The average total number of seeds in my group of experimental fields is about 100 grains, and the seed setting rate fluctuates around 90.00%.

However, in Mr. Cao’s experimental field, the average total number of seeds is about 110, and the seed setting rate fluctuates around 90.00%. The yield per mu is indeed higher than that of our CY001 high-yielding rice.

More importantly, the growth cycle of the high-yield rice CY001 is longer than that of Mr. Cao's rice. "

"Hmm~"

Pei Shaorong nodded, what Li Ying said was basically in line with her judgment.

The expected yield per mu of CY001 high-yielding rice is about 360 kg, and the yield per mu of rice in Cao Chunyuan's group is about 400 kg, which is indeed a lot higher.

Moreover, the rice in Cao Chunyuan's side has an additional feature of shortening the growth cycle, which Pei Shaorong can't understand the most.

Pei Shaorong frowned slightly, and asked a little puzzled: "Did you add any fertilizer to the rice? Why not only is the rice in your group more productive, but the growth cycle has also been shortened by 20 days?"

Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan shook her head in a panic.

At the beginning, she was afraid that she would make too much noise, so she only watered a little bit of spiritual spring water in the early stage of rice planting, but she didn't expect the effect to be so brilliant.

"Academician Pei, I don't interfere with the experimental team. Cen Shuhong and others are responsible for the planting of the experimental field. I just provided an experimental target."

Only then did Pei Shaorong remember that Cao Chunyuan, a layman, doesn't know how to plant scientifically, so asking her this question is like playing the piano against a cow.

She nodded and said: "The results of this group of experimental fields are good, and the yield per mu and planting time have improved at the same time. No wonder the members of your team are planning to use it to compete in this year's agricultural scientific research competition.

However, the data of this group of experimental fields still has a certain distance from the 450 kg per mu yield you mentioned.The yield per mu you mentioned is 450 kg, do you mean the cold-resistant rice? "

Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan looked at Pei Shaorong in surprise. She hadn't told Pei Shaorong which group of experimental fields had a yield of 450 kilograms per mu.

But Pei Shaorong was very sure that the rice with the highest yield per mu was cold-resistant rice, which made Cao Chunyuan very curious.

"Academician Pei, how did you determine that the increase in yield per mu is the group that is resistant to cold, not the group that is resistant to drought?"

Pei Shaorong gave Cao Chunyuan an angry look, she didn't even bother to answer such low-level questions.

"Drought resistance, drought resistance, it must develop towards the root system, shrinking plants and leaves, how can it increase the yield per mu? It must be that the cold-resistant rice has increased the yield per mu while resisting the cold!"
