Chapter 42 The Strange Locust Plague

"What? You said you want to double the rice production? It's impossible!" In an office of Keyuan Technology, Lin Tao immediately jumped up after learning about Xiao Yuan's crazy idea.

"For Keyuan Technology, there is nothing impossible." Xiao Yuan said lightly: "Starting tomorrow, I will officially start the research and development of this kind of rice... Let me call it Immortal Rice. Immortal rice has been developed, and it must be planted on a large scale immediately. I said in the bidding contest yesterday that the rice production must be doubled within a year, so we must plant it on a large scale in time. Therefore, from tomorrow At the beginning, you, the project director, have to get busy, you have to replace all the old equipment in the rice base, and..."

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan gave Lin Tao some instructions, and Lin Tao nodded with a complicated expression after listening.

To be honest, Lin Tao still doesn't really believe that Xiao Yuan can really double the rice output, but he has already come to Xiao Yuan's company, so naturally he can't question Xiao Yuan's decision.

In this way, the next day, Xiao Yuan started the research and development of this "immortal rice".

Xiao Yuan suddenly felt that the name "Shen Xian Dao" was quite good and attractive enough. He decided to declare the name "Shen Xian Dao" to the outside world after he developed the results in the future.

It only took Xiao Yuan a few days to complete
Before I knew it, two months had passed.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan is standing in the rice planting base in the outskirts. When he looks around, his eyes are full of green. The rice in the base has just grown, and Xiao Yuan reckons that harvesting will start in half a month. up.

Standing with Xiao Yuan were Lin Tao and Lin Lan.

"Xiao Yuan, I really did it!" Lin Tao looked at the green rice and said excitedly, because he knew that Xiao Yuan's rhetoric of doubling the output of the rice base within a year is really going to come true!
It only took Xiao Yuan a month to make these rice grow like this. According to this speed, a batch of rice can be planted in this rice planting base in two to three months, and a total of four rice can be planted in one year. Five batches of rice!What is this concept?You know, the current conventional rice can only be harvested twice a year at most, that is, it can only be harvested twice a year. Therefore, from this perspective alone, Xiaoyuan's rice production can be doubled on the original basis. doubled.

What's more, in addition to faster maturation, the grains of Xiaoyuan's rice are much fuller than ordinary rice, so that the rice yield can be raised to a higher level.

Calculated in this way, within a year, the rice production of Xiaoyuan's planting base may be more than five times the original basis!
"Lin Lan, do you still think that it was ridiculous for me to buy this rice planting base?" Xiao Yuan turned to look at Lin Lan and asked with a smile.

Lin Lan smiled and said: "Okay, I admit that you are very good, okay? I didn't expect you to develop such a miraculous rice at the beginning. Not only are the grains full, but it can also be ripened several times a year... "

Speaking of this, Lin Lan also sighed a little.

"Xiao Yuan, you are so awesome. You can almost compete with Yuan Longping, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, just because of the 'immortal rice' you developed!" Lin Tao said.

Yuan Longping, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the father of hybrid rice. When he planted hybrid rice with a yield [-]% higher than that of conventional rice, he shocked the world and became a world-renowned agricultural scientist.But now, the "immortal rice" developed by Xiao Yuan is undoubtedly even more shocking than the super hybrid rice back then.

"It's not just shoulder to shoulder? I think Xiao Yuan has already surpassed Yuan Longping." Lin Lan laughed.

After a while, Xiao Yuan and the others left the plantation base.

And not long after they left, a black Mercedes-Benz drove over. After the Mercedes-Benz drove to the side of the rice planting base, it stopped, and then the window was opened, and several people poked their heads out of the window. looking out.

And Lin Ziqiang was sitting in the passenger seat of this car.

Seeing the row of green rice paddies in front of him through the window, Lin Ziqiang's expression was extremely shocked, and then became extremely gloomy.

"Oh my god, these rice plants have grown so tall so quickly? They are almost ripe! These rice plants were obviously only planted a month ago! How could they be ripe so quickly? What did this Xiao Yuan do?" The person next to him Shouted in surprise.

Lin Ziqiang also came to check after hearing the news that the rice in this base had matured. After all, Lin Ziqiang has been paying close attention to the development of this rice planting base since the last bid failed.

Originally, Lin Ziqiang still didn't believe that the rice here could mature so quickly, but now he took a look and found that it was indeed the case!
Lin Ziqiang was shocked, but also jealous.

Xiao Yuan was able to plant the first batch of mature rice in such a short period of time, and these rice are all growing well and full of grains. I am afraid that the output of this batch of rice can be doubled on the original basis Well, if Xiao Yuan planted another five or six batches of rice a year, would it be okay?At that time, I am afraid that the annual output of this rice planting base will be seven or eight times higher than the original basis, or even more!

In short, just based on the rice growth in this rice field, Lin Ziqiang can basically draw the conclusion that those bold words that Xiao Yuan said at the bidding conference some time ago are about to be realized by Xiao Yuan.And once Xiao Yuan fulfilled the promise he made at the bidding conference, then their Fengcheng Group's plan to take over the rice plantation base next year will naturally come to naught... Thinking of this, Lin Ziqiang felt very angry.

"Damn it, this stinky farmer is really capable!" Lin Ziqiang said bitterly.But now there seemed to be nothing he could do other than sulking at himself.

At this time, a person next to him suddenly said: "Young Master, I actually have a way to make this Xiao Yuan happy and sad!"

"What way?" Hearing this, Lin Ziqiang was taken aback, and asked expectantly.

The person who spoke had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, with sinister eyes.

His name is Liu Quan, and he is one of Lin Ziqiang's supervisors. This person is not outstanding in business, but he is extremely good at flattering people, and he is full of intrigues. Lin Ziqiang has done many disgraceful things before. Everything was planned by Liu Quan.Therefore, Liu Quan is highly valued by Lin Ziqiang. At his age, it should be said that he is already very remarkable to be able to enter the management of Fengcheng Group.

A strange smile appeared on Liu Quan's face, and he said: "It's very simple, as long as we get a batch of locusts and put them in Xiaoyuan's rice fields, his rice will be eaten dry by locusts in less than a day." It's clean. By then, I think Xiao Yuan won't even be able to cry."

"Fuck! This is really a good idea!" After hearing this, Lin Ziqiang slapped his thigh immediately, and laughed loudly: "Liu Quan, you still have more tricks!"

"Hey hey, it's not worth mentioning that it's a small skill." Liu Quan said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, get a batch of locusts as soon as possible." Lin Ziqiang said with a dark smile, "If you manage this matter well, I will be rewarded greatly!"

A few days later.

On this day, Xiao Yuan was lying at home watching TV when he suddenly received a call from Lin Tao.

"Xiao Yuan, it's not good, something serious happened!" Lin Tao on the other end of the phone sounded very flustered.

Hearing Lin Tao's flustered voice, Xiao Yuan had an ominous premonition, and he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Our rice planting base is plagued by locusts!" Lin Tao said.

"What? A plague of locusts? How is this possible?" Xiao Yuan was shocked by the sudden news, because he knew that locusts like to be dry, and generally only in years of severe drought, there will be a plague of locusts. However, this year's rain is abundant, how is it possible? Will there be a lot of locusts?What's more, even if there is a plague of locusts, there is no reason why only his rice fields will suffer, right?And besides his rice field, he really hasn't heard of a large number of locusts appearing anywhere else!
In short, this locust plague is very strange!
