Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 470: Yield per mu exceeds 2000
There is strength in numbers. Even though the harvesting efficiency was greatly affected by the high requirements for precision, several acres of experimental fields were harvested by noon.

After the harvest is completed, specialized personnel will lay out a long line and carefully check every inch to see if anything is missed.

At the same time, there were also special personnel who carefully measured the area of ​​the experimental field to ensure that it was accurate to the last digit.

During the inspection, everyone's attention was focused on the production calculation area.

The people here are summarizing the data and making the final calculations.

"It's out, the results are out." The person in charge of the measurement said happily while holding the data.

"How much?" Zhou Xinjian and Chen Xiannong asked at the same time.

Although they didn't ask clearly, everyone knew they were talking about yield per mu.

The captain of the chief's guard also pricked up his ears.

The leader is waiting for him to report this data.

Jiang Chen also paid attention.

Although he knew that the production of Super 1000 could reach more than two thousand.

But the specific amount will be affected by many factors.

Such as fertilizer, soil, light, water, etc.
But he was sure that the output was definitely more than 1500.

The data he expected was 1800 and above.

The surveyor took out a slip of paper and read out the data on it word by word: "Yield per mu: two thousand, six hundred, seven ten, two point, three four catties."

He read very carefully, fearing that he might make a mistake.

Chen Xiannong's voice trembled a little: "How much more?"

Calculator: "There are four of us in total. Each of us performed the calculation three times, and the results we obtained are the same."

"The rice yield per mu in the experimental field was 2672.34 kilograms. We are willing to take responsibility for this result."

"That's great, that's great, the output has increased by more than 6 times compared to the previous one." Chen Xiannong was so excited that he danced with joy.

He is a true expert and naturally knows what happened with the previous production.

I also know what this yield per mu means to flower growers.

The scene suddenly erupted in cheers that resounded through the sky.

Zhou Xinjian's body was also trembling slightly.

He came from the countryside, so he naturally knew what this output represented.

If the grain yield had been like this before, his family of five brothers wouldn't have been able to feed only two.

Just as everyone was cheering, Jiang Chen couldn't help but say, "Everyone, wait a minute, this data is wrong."

Jiang Chen's voice was very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly even in the noisy scene.

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

This data was obtained under the witness of everyone throughout the process, so how could there be any problem?
The surveyor's face turned red: "You, you are talking nonsense, we have measured so many times, how could it be wrong?"

"I just said that we are willing to take responsibility for this result."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Don't get excited, I didn't say you calculated wrong."

"Your calculation is correct and accurate, but you all forgot one thing, that is, newly harvested rice contains water, which generally accounts for 20%-30% of the net weight."

"We have to remove this moisture, then the result will be the correct one."

"I see." The surveyor breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiannong said, "Yes, Comrade Jiang Chen is right about this. Therefore, the weight of these grain seeds after drying is the actual yield."

"But even with a moisture content of 30%, the yield of this experimental rice is more than kilograms. This is already a huge miracle and will help us create a legend."

The captain of the guard couldn't help but ask, "Then which data should I report according to?"

Chen Xiannong said: "Just say that the preliminary calculation result is that the yield per mu is more than 2,670 kilograms. Even after drying the water, the yield per mu will not be less than 2,000 kilograms."

The captain of the guard nodded: "Okay!"

"So, we can call this rice Jiangchen rice?" Chen Xiannong nodded: "Yes, we can say that."

The captain nodded, turned and left to report to the leader.

Chen Xiannong said to Jiang Chen sincerely: "Dean Jiang, could you spare half of your precious time this afternoon to explain to our Ministry of Agriculture how the seeds of this super rice were cultivated?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

"This rice cultivation method is not complicated, but the process is a bit troublesome. You need to put in more effort to try it."

Agriculture, after all, is not his major.

This super rice was exchanged from the system only because of need.

Therefore, whether or not there will be Jiangchen Rice No. 2 and No. 3 in the future will ultimately depend on the Ministry of Agriculture.

Moreover, the theoretical basis of hybrid rice is not difficult.

What is difficult is the operation during the cultivation process.

However, Jiang Chenji is not going to worry about these anymore.

Anyway, thanks to the stability of Super 1000, the yield of kilograms per mu is basically the bottom line for agriculture.

In the future, we will be able to cultivate better rice.

It doesn’t matter if it cannot be cultivated in the short term.

That afternoon, the Ministry of Agriculture directly borrowed the conference room of Sangang Group and invited Jiang Chen to give a presentation on the breeding methods of Jiangchen rice.

Jiang Chen selected some rice with excellent growth rate from his home and conducted many hybridization experiments to verify his ideas. He eventually cultivated super rice, which is now called Jiang Chen rice.

He combined all the theoretical and practical experience of hybrid rice.

The Ministry of Agriculture naturally benefited greatly.

Zhou Cheng also attended the meeting.

He wanted to get more information for tomorrow's report.

At the same time, he was happy in his heart.

He was basically certain that he had booked tomorrow's front-page headlines again.

With so many reporters in the newspaper, it is not easy to get on the front page.

But as long as you are on it, the situation is a kind of honor.

Since Jiang Chen joined Sangang Group, he has made headlines many times, so he is grateful to Jiang Chen.

He was even thinking in his mind whether he should do another personal interview with Jiang Chen, or write a biography for Jiang Chen.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chen's speech ended.

People from the Ministry of Agriculture began to discuss the key learning points and gains among themselves.

Jiang Chen turned and left.

Zhou Cheng followed him out: "Dean Jiang, can I ask you a question?"

Jiang Chen turned around and said, "Of course, please ask, Reporter Zhou."

Zhou Chengdao: "You are an engineer. How did you come up with the idea of ​​conducting a breeding experiment for Jiangchen rice at home?"

Jiang Chen said: "I can tell from the name of reporter Zhou that he is not from the countryside."

"Because if you farm, you will understand how difficult it is to grow crops. Often, after working hard for a year, the food you harvest is barely enough to feed yourself and your family."

"You are the one who grows the crops, but in the end you can't even feed yourself. Don't you think this is ironic?"

"From that time on, I secretly prepared to study ways to increase yields. One day, we saw several wild rice plants on the road. The grains were large and full, and the yield per plant was particularly high."

"Then I started to think, why is this happening? Finally, I thought it might be due to hybridization, and that's when I started the experiment."

“Of course, I encountered a lot of problems and troubles along the way, but in the end, I was lucky enough to succeed.”

"The success of the cultivation of Jiangchen Rice is partly due to my correct thinking, but more importantly, it is luck. Luck determines its success."
