Chapter 80 On Two Ways to Introduce High-yield Grain Seeds to Daming

"There are two things that are unclear about this matter." Hao Guangming said, "First of all, our main high-yield grain seeds, such as hybrid rice seeds, only have high yield, disease resistance, lodging resistance, etc. when they are sown for the first time.

Waiting for excellent quality.

And the rice they produce, that is, second-generation rice seeds, even if they are the best varieties, their high-yielding characteristics will still degrade compared to the first generation, and the degradation will become more severe as time goes by.

Therefore, even if you work hard to transport some high-quality rice seeds from here to the Ming Dynasty, you can only obtain high yields in the first two or three years, and then they will gradually become the same as the ordinary rice seeds you have over there."

Zhu Ailao frowned when she heard this.

Not only am I worried about this, but also because it is really difficult to understand.

After all, in the past few days, she had only learned some modern knowledge through the Internet, and had not gone through the nine-year compulsory education in Great China.

Before her adventure, she stayed in the palace and knew nothing about agriculture.

Hao Guangming knew that it was difficult for Zhu Yurao to understand, but he had no intention of stopping to explain.

Because he also felt that explaining it would be difficult and unnecessary.

When Zhu Yuluo knows more about the present, she will naturally understand.

He continued: "Second, apart from you and my grandmother, are other lives still alive after traveling through time and space?

In fact, I have been thinking about this issue before and even had some speculations.

For example, here in our area, there are actually many viruses that your Ming Dynasty said did not exist. If you come into contact with me and are infected with certain viruses, you will bring other types of plagues with you when you go to the Ming Dynasty.

But so far, it seems that you did not carry the virus from our side with you. Does this mean that the virus was killed by a mysterious force when it followed you through time?"

Zhu Ainao's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.

Because issues related to time travel are more difficult for her to understand.

Sometimes she is more willing to believe what she said to Li Yan and other Ming people: being able to travel is a magical power given to her by God. She just hopes that she can save the Ming Dynasty, save hundreds of millions of people, and save China, which will sink for hundreds of years!

Hao Guangming continued: "I can tell you that viruses are alive and so are grain seeds.

If viruses will die due to time travel, so will food seeds, and the same goes for other living beings."

Zhu Yuyao could barely understand part of it. After hearing this, she couldn't help but said: "About this, I should be able to know if I try it now, right?"

Hao Guangming smiled, "Not bad."

After saying that, he handed Zhu Yuya a soda bottle with a smile.

This plastic bottle is small and transparent, and inside it is a turtle, also known as a turtle - this kind of insect is very common in old rural houses.

As a woman, when Zhu Aona first saw bugs in the bottle, she inevitably shrank her hands.

But then she took it and looked at it curiously.

Hao Guangming said lazily: "You don't have to look at it, it doesn't matter what kind of insect it is, what matters is whether it is still alive after going to Ming Dynasty.

Well, if you go to Daming, you'd better keep it for a while to see if it can live normally.

Of course, there are differences between plants and animals, so I will get another weed for you to bring over and raise."

With that said, Hao Guangming went out.

Outside the old house is a bamboo forest.

Although the bamboos are thick and exclusive, weeds are still easy to find.

As a result, he was lucky enough to see several clumps of aquatic iris growing tenaciously among the weeds on the west side of the old house!

Hao Guangming immediately carefully dug up a bush with the roots and soil, returned to the old house, found a small ceramic flower pot, cultivated the soil, and then handed it to Zhu Aona.

Seeing Zhu Ailao carrying an insect in her left hand and a clump of grass in her right hand, Hao Guangming was filled with emotion and wanted to laugh.

But when he spoke, he said: "These two are just initial experiments. I will buy hybrid rice seeds in two days and ask you to take them there to plant them for subsequent experiments."

Of course, the premise is that this country bumpkin and Iris don't die if you take them there."

Zhu Yurao didn't say much, just nodded, and then went to the west room and returned to Daming through the wardrobe.

In fact, it was already night at this time, and it was undoubtedly more convenient for her to leave the main room and go to the courtyard.

But Hao Guangming told her at the beginning that there are things here that can spy on the ground from the air, such as satellites and drones.

In order to avoid being seen or photographed when she suddenly disappears one day, it is best to develop the habit of only returning to Ming Dynasty from the big closet in the West House.

···

Fei Zhen'e is laying the floor.

There is no bed to sleep on during the march, so it would be good to find a dry and flat place to make a bed on the ground.

Even if she sleeps in the same tent as the princess in name, she is no exception.

Fei Zhen'e had long been accustomed to Zhu Yura's sudden disappearance and appearance, but this time when she saw Zhu Yura's return, she couldn't help but be surprised.

She pointed to the bottles and flower pots in Zhu Yu's hands and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Zhu Aona first picked up the bottle and shook it in front of her eyes. Seeing that the bumpkin inside was still running around and looking full of energy, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, fortunately he didn't die as soon as he came here."

Fei Zhen'e continued to ask: "Why did Your Highness bring a bug and a bush of iris from there?"

Zhu Aao used her understanding and said: "If the insects and iris cannot survive, the high-yielding grain seeds I brought from there will definitely not survive either.

Of course, even if they can survive, I will have to bring high-yielding grain seeds to try planting them later."

Fei Zhen'e nodded slightly after hearing this, as if she had some understanding.

Zhu Aela placed the plastic bottles containing the turtles and iris flowers in the tent, broke some compressed biscuit powder and threw it into the bottle. After observing for a while, she saw that although the turtles were motionless most of the time, they would move when they were frightened. She

I didn't have the patience to keep observing.

After giving Fei Zhen'e an instruction, she returned to her old house in Zhulin.

After washing up, Zhu Yaoshan saw Zhu Yaoshan holding a tablet and watching cartoons intently, so she came to Hao Guangming with peace of mind.

Hao Guangming is using his laptop to check information online.

Zhu Yuyao sat on the bedside without restraint and said: "If high-yielding grain seeds will not die due to time travel and can be grown in the Ming Dynasty, is there a way to solve the first problem you mentioned?"

"Of course there are ways." Hao Guangming looked away from the computer screen and looked at Zhu Yurao, "The first way is that I will give you the technology of cultivating high-yielding hybrid rice seeds here, and you can find a reliable one from Ming Dynasty.

Yes, relatively professional talents should learn and master this technology.

In this way, Ming Dynasty can produce high-yielding hybrid rice seeds by itself, and then just distribute the specially cultivated seeds or sell them to the people for planting, just like we do here."

"Is this technology difficult to master?" Zhu Yuyao asked.

She is no longer a novice about the two worlds. She knows that there are many techniques that are very simple here, but to Daming, they are like magic.

After all, compared to the creation system of Dahua, although Ming's foundation in this aspect is not said to be zero, it is almost nothing.

Hao Guangming said: "In order to develop this technology, we have spent decades and one or two generations of efforts before we succeeded.

This is because we have the theories of our predecessors as the basis, which shortens the time.

As for you, even if you have the mature technology I have given you, if you want to master it and even cultivate high-yielding grain seeds, it will probably take several years at the earliest.

If we don’t get it right, it could be delayed for more than ten years.”

Zhu Ailao's heart sank after hearing this.

Based on the situation in front of Ming Dynasty, the sooner they can obtain a large amount of food, the better.

We really have to wait ten or eight years. With the continuous natural disasters, we don’t know how many people will die.

"Is there any other solution?" she asked, frowning.

She felt that Hao Guangming must have found other solutions, because Hao Guangming always had a smile on his face.

Sure enough, Hao Guangming turned the laptop screen over and said with a smile: "I just found out about this second method. In recent years, our country has made many research results on food crops, including the ability to retain

Plant high-yield rice seeds, wheat seeds, etc.

Although their current yield is not as good as those of the best hybrid crop seeds, it is much better than those of your Daming crop seeds.
