On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Seeing that it was inconvenient for Teacher Wang to plant rice with only one hand, Tan Qi immediately carried half a basket of rice seedlings into the water and came to her side, "Teacher Wang, I'll pass you the rice seedlings. If you get tired, I'll take over and you can help me hold the rice seedlings."

"Okay." Mother Zhao took the seedlings from Tan Qi's hand with a smile and worked while explaining the techniques of transplanting rice to her.

Not long after, Shi Du and Shi Mu also arrived at Territory No. 3. Watching the two of them walk in, Tang Huai was very sure that Xia Qing had secretly created a group and didn't bring him to play together, so he angrily poked several fat white grubs to death.

Qi Fu and his wife did not come because they had to help plant rice in Territory No. 6. The members of the Territory Alliance helped each other and planted rice seedlings in all territories in less than half a day.

They were the first to plant rice in this territory. Not only were they ahead of the ordinary territories that handed over rice seeds to the Territory Management Department for seedling cultivation, but they were also ahead of Territories No. 1 and No. 12, which cultivated their own rice seedlings.

Although they do not have the ability to build standardized greenhouses, their alliance owns hidden valleys and can rent Yi Stone, which provides them with unique conditions for growing rice seedlings. There are technical experts in their alliance, and after learning the rice seedling growing technology from Territory No. 7, their seedlings grow healthy and strong.

Besides that, they also have high quality rice seeds!
The lords of No. 4 and No. 10 looked at the rice seedlings in No. 3 territory with more normal leaf colors, smiling and full of hope. After the rice planted by Xia Qing was harvested, they could exchange seeds with her and plant this more stable and high-quality rice in their own territories.

When the rice is harvested, they can sell more points and eat healthier food.

Lord No. 15 Tan Qi didn't know what everyone was laughing at, but she was also very happy. She was very happy every time she came to see Xia Qing, because seeing Xia Qing made her full of energy.

Just like what Dad said, as long as she is willing to work hard and put enough effort into it, she can become an excellent lord like Sister Xia Qing.

The bare water surface just now is now planted with rows of green rice seedlings. Xia Qing feels so relieved.

After sending away the allies who came to help, she picked up the only three baskets of green rice seedlings and walked towards the terraced fields.

What the allies helped to plant just now were rice seedlings grown from the 40 kilograms of J-2 Yellow Light Rice seeds exchanged with the Third Brother and the 2.5 kilograms of LD-8 Yellow Light Rice seeds compensated by the Fiery Team. A total of two and a half acres were planted.

The rice seedlings grown from the more than two kilograms of green light rice she harvested last year will be planted in the terraced fields to cultivate better quality rice seeds.

Even if we cannot cultivate better quality rice, we can rely on the high-element soil and pollution-free spring water to ensure that the quality of these green light rice will not be reduced.

The content of harmful elements in this batch of J-2 green light rice seedlings is still 4.7‰, the same as when the rice seeds were harvested in late autumn last year.

What does this mean? It means that the quality of the rice seedlings grown in the Hidden Valley is very high, and that the J-2 rice cultivated by the idol's scientific research team is also very stable!

Not bad.

The 100 green-light rice plants that Xia Qing exchanged with her idol in June last year, and the 40 kilograms of yellow-light rice that she exchanged with her idol last winter, were both J-2.

To put it simply, the J-2 yellow-light rice seeds harvested in Territory No. 2 in late autumn, which contain more than parts per thousand of harmful elements, were planted using the J- green-light rice seeds cultivated in the spring.

For the area where Xia Qing is located, the biggest difference between planting crops during the disaster years and before the disasters is the harmful elements present in the atmosphere, soil and water.

The toxic elements will be absorbed by the growing crops. If the crops have poor resistance to toxic elements, the toxic element content in the plants will continue to increase. This will cause the quality of the crops to decline with each planting. For example, the green-light rice with a toxic element content of 4.7‰ harvested in the summer of Territory No. will be sown and raised, and the yellow-light rice with a toxic element content of more than ‰ will be harvested in the autumn.

As for the batch of yellow-light rice that Xia Qing had just planted in the open air on the farmland, which contained more than 0.6 parts per thousand of harmful elements, it remains to be verified how much harmful elements it will contain when it is harvested in late summer.

Idol said that the stability of this batch of yellow light rice planted in the open air is three generations. That is to say, when the third crop is harvested, the content of harmful elements in most rice will increase to 13-15‰. According to this value, the content of harmful elements in most of the yellow light rice harvested in late summer this year should be around 9‰.

With three generations of stability, this seed is already of very good quality.

What does rice with low stability look like?

譬如夏青去年七月初从领地管理部领到的，400株戕元素含量为10‰的黄灯水稻H-14，秋天只收获了260株戕元素含量在13-15‰以下的黄灯水稻。

Rice seeds with such high levels of harmful elements can only be eaten and cannot be saved, because if they are planted and harvested again, most of them will become red-light rice.

The other 400 of the 140 rice plants either evolved in the rain or had increased levels of harmful elements, becoming red-light rice that cannot be eaten directly and can only be sold to Zhong Tao at a low price. Zhong Tao will send these red-light grains to the food processing plant in the safe zone, which will remove excess harmful elements and process the grains into food that humans can eat. Most of the nutrients contained in this food have been destroyed.

In other words, the H-14 rice seedlings that Xia Qing exchanged from the Territory Management Department were only stable for one generation for her.

Not only her, but other lords are in the same situation.

Therefore, the lack of high-quality seeds is the biggest obstacle that restricts the lords from expanding the area of ​​crop cultivation. If China wants to stop its people from eating grass rations, it must overcome this difficulty.

The lords who made a living by farming naturally joined the team to overcome this difficulty because they had an urgent need for high-quality seeds.

After Xia Qing finished planting the J-4.7 green light rice seedlings with a toxic element content of 2‰, he carefully took out the last five green light rice seedlings tied with red lines from the basket and planted them in the terraced fields.

The variety of these five rice seedlings has a BS-4.3 content of 6‰.

"BS" is the abbreviation of Bai San. She found this among the 400 kilograms of green light rice grains she exchanged from the Bai San base through Yang Jin. It is the rice seeds that were mixed in with the rice and had not been shelled.

When rice seeds are hulled to become rice, the rice germ is destroyed and cannot redevelop into a plant.

Xia Qing was able to find these ten unhusked rice seeds. In addition to thanking the workers at the rice planting center of the Bai San base for not conducting strict screening and inspection, he was also grateful that the husking machine at Bai San was of poor quality and failed to remove the rice husks completely.

The rice hulling machines they are using now were probably produced before the natural disaster.

After Xia Qing finished planting the last few rice seedlings that she had high hopes for, she went home, took a shower, washed off the mud on her protective clothing, changed into clean clothes, took out three pounds of green light ribs from the refrigerator, and went to Territory No. 7 to visit her idol to discuss important matters.
