Chapter 50 Answering Questions
As far as Cheng Nuo was concerned, why he didn't choose chemical fertilizers or pesticides that were more effective in agriculture? It was because the time was not yet ripe.

In 1913, Germany established the first ammonia synthesis plant in the world, but it had to wait until 1920 after World War I for mass production of urea, and the organic chemical pesticides DDT, Diquat and 666 had to wait until the 40s.

Although for traversers, imitation is much faster than research and development, but it is difficult to keep the results when it is really taken out.

For modern industry, apart from the turbulent environment, the biggest enemy is the comprador stage, and it is from this time that it is better to buy than to make.

Help the big powers to search for raw materials for production, and then dump industrial products into the country, hitting the domestic industrial and agricultural economy.

The most typical of these is the White Party. In 1941, our first batch of penicillin samples were developed in China. By 1946, they were improved and mass-produced. Compared with the West, the technology was better and the price was lower, but there was no such thing in the domestic market. There is a slight ripple, and mass production will have to wait until after liberation.

Song Ziwen was blunt about this: "Foreign penicillin is as much as you want, just buy it, there is no need to make it in China."

The reason for this is that the tariff income created by the compradors is their financial pillar, and the price of hitting the domestic industry will be higher, and the self-interest obtained from it will be more substantial.

The seeds are simple. Many technologies are imported from the West. Before the wings are hardened, there is no conflict of interest with them, and they can even use compradors.

It was late at night, and Cheng Nuo, who was still sorting out materials in the office, felt a little cold, and turned on the stove again: "It's really hard to feel the cold spring, and I have to put on a little padded jacket after it rains. Recently, I saw that Peking University took medicine There are many teachers and students."

Guo Shouchun didn't care, and leaned over the table to take notes: "What's the temperature drop? I'll have to go to various places in the country to investigate later. Maybe I will encounter another weather. Go back and exercise more."

"I can't tell others, but Lao Guo, you have to take care of your health." Cheng Nuo clapped his hands, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Waiting for you to accumulate experience in seed selection and breeding, train more agricultural talents, and spread it to other fields in the future." on the crop."

Breeding is a long-term project, and it needs to be worked on every year. It's not that Cheng Nuo is a time traveler, and he can harvest high-yielding and stable-yielding seeds the next year, which is very unrealistic.

Therefore, we must study it early while the great powers are busy in the quagmire of World War I and the short "peace" time in the country.

Otherwise, when they slow down to resume production and dump industrial products, it will be difficult to turn around.

Moreover, after accumulating experience and cultivating talents in wheat, it will be extended to rice, soybeans and cotton by analogy, and at the same time selection and breeding will be carried out. After all, more people eat rice in China, and the cotton textile industry cannot always use foreign cloth.

Wait until the seed cultivation is about to be completed, then release chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and it will be no problem to quietly send them to northern Shaanxi.

Guo Shouchun was noncommittal, took the hot tea and nodded: "But Lao Cheng, we have talked a lot in the past few days. I think many of your ideas are very advanced, but why do you prefer the United States and the old European countries when introducing countries? Their agricultural strength seems to be stronger, shouldn't we learn from them?"

"I know what you said, but will European countries hand over technology to us so easily?" Cheng Nuo pulled a chair over and sat on the back of the chair backwards: "No matter how delicious the food from other people's houses looks , people close the door and don't teach, we can only stare and drool."

"But the United States is not a good thing"

Cheng Nuo raised his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten, there is a 'Student Volunteer Overseas Missionary Movement' in the United States, and it is not only their Lord who is preached, but also others."

"There are also scientific knowledge such as biology, medicine, and agriculture. Oh, how could I forget this." Guo Shouchun patted his forehead and suddenly realized: "Don't look at the foreign devils who say one thing and do another, but preaching is true." Seriously, I was in a missionary school when I was in middle school."

The so-called student voluntary overseas missionary activities in the United States originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Different from the traditional rigid missionaries, the movement limited the participants to college students from the very beginning. , specialized missionary course training and finally complete the dispatch to overseas places.

With the development of the activities, a lot of knowledge was also brought into the country, the most typical one being the introduction of large peanuts from the United States.During this period, many church universities were born, such as Yenching University, Jinling University, Lingnan University, Fujian Union University, etc., covering multiple disciplines.

Of course, they brought back a large number of crops, plants and other varieties collected from various parts of the country to the United States, which greatly enriched the agricultural germplasm resources of the United States. On the basis of our soybean varieties, they further improved them, and today they are still the world's largest soybean. export country.

Therefore, it is really unreasonable not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune of imperialism.

Cheng Nuo held his chin and said with a smile: "They didn't come here to do good deeds, but also for our things. When you go out to investigate, you also go to the missionary university to see if they have any good things in their hands. They know the bottom line I feel more at ease in my heart, and it would be even better if I could 'cooperate'."

When it comes to the word cooperation, the nasal sound is specially emphasized.

Guo Shouchun re-wrote his notes, teasing: "They are all scholars, so you have to make a contribution, which is not authentic. But just so, I thought the same way, who made our Academy of Sciences poor and useless, our local monks are looking for them It’s not too much to be a Western priesthood.”

"Although there is no news about the U.S. patent, I already have other ways to raise money. Don't worry." Cheng Nuo scratched his head. If he is not in charge, he doesn't know that money is expensive. Especially when he wants to support the Academy of Sciences, he needs money everywhere. .

However, when I heard the word "scholar", I still couldn't help sniffling: "People are doing in-depth investigations on our hydrology, soil quality, and mineral resources. Now they don't necessarily know more about the domestic countryside than you and I. Now we still have a lot of knowledge about the country's rural areas. Some so-called explorers are still hunting and killing our giant pandas in western Sichuan."

"Giant panda?" Guo Shouchun turned his head, touched the frame of his glasses with a pen, and asked curiously, "What species is that?"

Cheng Nuo was startled, and the national treasure called Shunzui immediately confiscated it, and prevaricated, "Oh, that's the 'big panda' discovered by the French David David. The black and white bears are relatively rare."

"Oh, I remembered. I saw the picture of the specimen in the newspaper. When I go to Sichuan Province to investigate, I must investigate it carefully."

Cheng Nuo quietly wiped his sweat, and specially instructed: "If you are lucky, you must not hunt and kill them, and protect them well. It is best not to leak any information."

"Anyway, I'm still a bear. I should be the one who ran away, but I must cherish my own." After dipping in the ink, Guo Shouchun was still scribbling: "But old Cheng, how did you get that money?"

"School-enterprise cooperation, looking for strong and ambitious flour industrialists to cooperate with."

"But."

"Okay, there are so many but, what time is it, it's time to go back and rest, let's go, treat you to eat chaos on the way."
