Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 823
After tidying up the land outside, Yang Xiaotao changed and washed it, and then went to the study to get down to business.

Research corn.

Before that, Yang Xiaotao had done research on the Northwest Farm and had some ideas.

However, the local saline-alkali-tolerant plants studied at that time.

Take out a pen and paper and write down your previous thoughts.

With the experience of hybridizing corn last time, he knew that things had to be done step by step, and he couldn't rush, let alone make mistakes.

According to Yang Xiaotao's thinking, the first thing is to analyze the structure of the corn grown on the saline-alkali soil, and it is best to be able to find out the differences.

That is the reason for controlling the salt tolerance of corn.

If they found it directly, it would be easy to say, let Xiaowei improve these corns, and then plant and breed them.

If the direct cause cannot be found, then look for objective factors, and then analyze and summarize the anti-salt-alkali factors to achieve the goal.

The last one is what Yang Xiaotao doesn't want to see the most, that is, he can't find any factors to manipulate.

If so, he can only find the answer from the saline-alkali-tolerant plants he brought back.

As for whether the salt-resistant corn can be made.Yang Xiaotao was very sure of this.

Because later generations have already given the answer.

Optimize the design plan, write and revise, and sometimes think about it, the whole person is thinking, and the notebooks under him are also quickly flipped through while writing and drawing.

Time passed by second by second, and the sound of the alarm clock kept ringing.

Outside the courtyard, Mrs. Jia looked at the lights through the reflection of the window from time to time, cursing in her heart, hoping that Yang Xiaotao would go to bed early and not waste electricity money.

It's a pity that Yang Xiaotao was still thinking about the optimization plan until Jia Zhang couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up from the table, stretched his waist, and then turned off the light.

Last night in the middle of the night, I couldn't hold back and fell asleep on the ground. Fortunately, I was young and strong, so I didn't have anything to do after climbing all night.

After yawning and washing his face, Yang Xiaotao made some activities and made breakfast, then looked at the plan he wrote last night.

After reading page by page, I feel that the plan is good, but I still don't know how to implement it.

After all, this time is different from hybrid corn.

After eating, tidying up, and going to work, the yard behind me was another busy day.

In the next two days, Yang Xiaotao went to the rolling mill during the day, supplemented the experimental plan when he was free, and tinkered at night when he was busy.

On the first night, Yang Xiaotao had already started to implement the first plan, asking Xiaowei to check the difference between the corn grown in saline-alkali land and ordinary corn.

After investigating a large amount of corn, according to Xiaowei's feedback, there are too many differences between these two kinds of corn.

It took Yang Xiaotao one night just to confirm the analysis and then record it. This was with the help of Xiaowei. If it was a simple experiment, it is estimated that with the current technology, it will not be possible to find out the control mechanism in ten or eight years.

One night, I just determined the places where the energy distribution is different, and after communicating with Xiaowei, I marked them with letters.

And the next night, Yang Xiaotao asked Xiaowei to find the similarities between salt-alkali-resistant corn and saline-alkali-resistant plants.

This baffles Xiaowei, as the two plants are not the same kind of plant, so it is very difficult to find them.

Fortunately, Xiaowei already had "work experience" when she was in the Northwest. After repeated confirmation, she found a few things in common. As for the others, Yang Xiaotao didn't know.

However, the lights at Yang Xiaotao's house were kept on until very late in the past two nights, and the opportunity Jia Zhang had been waiting for never came.

She couldn't believe Yang Xiaotao's character, especially how he treated their family!
If Yang Xiaotao saw her, with his open heart, he would definitely report her.

Therefore, we can only continue to wait.

Friday night, 11:30.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the drawings on the table. This was the cross-section of salt-alkali-resistant corn drawn by Yang Xiaotao, with several points marked on it, and there was a cross-section of Populus euphratica seeds beside it.

"here?"

"Whoa!"

"Where else?"

"Whoa!"

Yang Xiaotao took a pen and paper, and circled three places with Xiaowei's confirmation.

These three places are where Xiaowei discovered after many comparisons that the salt-resistant corn has the same energy as Populus euphratica seeds, but it is different from ordinary corn.

Yang Xiaotao believes that there is such a high probability that the three are both the same and different in this special situation, so there must be some kind of connection.

Perhaps, this is the key to breaking the game.

After several nights of fighting, Yang Xiaotao was in a state of absolute excitement.

It seems that what is identified in the consciousness is correct.

He himself found that something was wrong, but he had no other ideas except to follow this.

Looking at the drawings on the table, Yang Xiaotao calmed down, recorded these three places, and named them P(A), P(B), and P(C).

When everything was finished, it was already two o'clock. Yang Xiaotao stretched his aching neck, put the materials back in the space, and then went to bed to rest.

The next day, Saturday, Yang Xiaotao came to the rolling mill with dark circles under his eyes.

Everyone who saw Yang Xiaotao was used to his appearance these days. The spirited guy who usually takes care of himself now finally has the simple appearance that a revolutionary worker should have.

If it wasn't for Yang Youning and the others until Ran Qiuye returned to Yangjiazhuang, they would have stepped forward to teach the young people not to be arrogant, but to be temperate.

咚咚
"Please come in!"

Here, Yang Xiaotao just sat down in the office, twirling the pencil with his fingers, looking at the plan on the notebook in front of him, when there was a knock on the door.

I wrote this all morning.

"Xiao Tao!"

After the door closed, Yang Xiaotao looked up to see Wang Guodong, then glanced aside, they were the only ones in the room.

"Uncle Wang!"

As he said that, he stood up and yawned, feeling tears blurred his eyes, and rubbed them with his hands again.

"Hey, busy."

"Fortunately, I just got a little idea."

Wang Guodong picked up the cigarette, Yang Xiaotao took it, the two chatted for a while, and then Wang Guodong approached with a smile.

"Xiao Tao, do you still have the wine you brought back last time?"

"liquor?"

"That's right, you came back from a business trip to the Northwest and gave you a bottle."

Wang Guodong said, rubbing his palms together, a little excited.

"Northwest?" Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered what was going on, "Uncle Wang, you can't be..."

Wang Guodong quickly covered Yang Xiaotao's mouth with his hand, "Keep your voice down."

After looking at the door and making sure there was no one there, he said helplessly, "You don't know, your aunt, at that age of a wolf and a tiger, plus it's been used a lot, even if it's made of iron, it's nothing!"

"Understand, understand, men are inherently disadvantaged in this matter."

Wang Guodong patted Yang Xiaotao's arm gratefully.

"Recently, there are some things that I can't keep hiding, you understand."

"understand."

"So, do you still have that wine?"

"Gone!"

Yang Xiaotao spread his hands, "If you tell me in advance, you can keep a bottle, but..."

"But what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao came up to him and muttered something in a low voice, Wang Guodong was surprised, and then collapsed.

"I didn't expect Lao Yang to strike so early."

咚咚
Just after Wang Guodong finished speaking, there was another knock on the door, this time before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Yang Youning opened the door and came in.

Wang Guodong said Yang Youning a second ago, but now he came in with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Fortunately, Yang Youning didn't pay attention. He just glanced at Yang Xiaotao and focused his attention on Yang Xiaotao. The whole person was in joy, and he spoke with a smile, "Just now I received a call from Lao Liu, and the plan you submitted has been approved. gone."

"Passed?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast and so easy."

Hahaha

Yang Youning smiled for a while, then clapped his palms and sighed, "However, this also fully shows that the electric pressure cooker we made is very popular!"

"Xiaotao, you did a good job on this matter!"

Yang Xiaotao regained his energy immediately, "It's all about serving the people, there's nothing good or bad about it, just try our best."

"Well, you're right, just try your best."

Yang Youning agreed with it very much. After all, sometimes the best effort may not be done well, and the proportion of not doing well is obviously greater.

Like him, doing a lot of things, but...

People like Yang Xiaotao are rare.

"Then what's going on now?"

"According to Lao Liu, the higher authorities value the potential and development prospects of electric pressure cookers, and want to improve them as soon as possible, and then sell them abroad."

"According to the news from foreign comrades, among the hundreds of pressure cookers we sold a few days ago, half of the pressure cookers were blocked by the government, and the rest went to the private sector. The response was very good."

"There is a tendency to increase!"

"The higher-ups were very satisfied with the one we sent up after using it, but considering the situation in other countries, for the long-term consideration, we must continue to improve and innovate, so the leadership means let us continue to do it."

"Old Liu said that the higher-ups are already planning to contact several units across the country to start a joint production. The structure of the components involved will be designed and completed as soon as possible to ensure production."

Yang Youning was so excited that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. This joint production is actually the leader of their rolling mill.

"Let's have a meeting later, a meeting."

"Come here sooner, both of you!"

Yang Youning left excitedly. He wanted to go back and collect the speech materials, which will be needed in a while.

Wang Guodong watched Yang Youning leave, and then came back to his senses.

The two of them talked a little too fast just now, and I got the general idea while still in a daze.

"Xiaotao, what are you talking about?"

"Uncle Wang, it is estimated that the electric pressure cooker is about to be launched, just listen to it in a meeting later."

"Okay, by the way, you didn't finish talking just now."

Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses, "I'll go to the northwest to have a look this time, and if I can find it, I'll bring you some more."

"Okay, but there is really no need to force it, just do your best."

"I know!"

Wang Guodong left after speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded in response.

In fact, there are two boxes of little blue medicine in Yang Xiaotao's space, but it's hard to explain these things.

If it is revealed, it will be even more troublesome.

When it comes to the fundamental issues of men, some people can't make sense.

"However, this thing is useful."

After thinking for a moment, Lou Xiaoe walked in with a stack of orders in her hand.

"Director, the order for tractors has decreased a lot recently."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised when he heard Lou Xiao'e say that. Now it is the time when the farming is busy, and the land needs to be prepared everywhere, so tractors are of great use.

Agriculture is not a trivial matter. The relevant departments will definitely encourage farming and distribute machines. The demand for tractors will only increase. How can there be less?

Then Lou Xiaoe put the documents on the table, "Look."

"This is an order from December last year, this is an order from January to March."

Yang Xiaotao picked it up and looked at it, then found a piece of paper and unfolded it, and drew it on the horizontal and vertical axes, with the month on the bottom and the number of orders on the top.

Then connect them at the corresponding points above, and an underline will appear instantly.

Although there is not much difference in the number of each node, the overall order volume has decreased by [-]% from December to March.

"I didn't feel it at first, but today when I was sorting out the inventory, I felt something was wrong."

"In the past, there were not many materials left to purchase every month, but in the past few months, the same quantity of purchases has left a lot. Then I checked the order quantity, and found that the orders distributed by the superiors, every month are decreasing.”

Lou Xiaoe explained that Yang Xiaotao looked at the declining orders, thought for a while and then put them down.

"It seems that the local government has fully understood the steam engine technology, and now it's time to grab the cake."

"You mean other factories?"

Lou Xiao'e understood after hearing a little bit, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense because this matter involved the regulation of her superiors.

"Yes! It's been so long, if you can't get it out, it's really trash!"
