Chapter 1473 Perennial Aralia Rice
The public opinion on the Internet is getting bigger and bigger, and Jiang Che naturally pays attention to it.
In order to reassure everyone, Jiang Che also specifically asked Professor Nong to be interviewed by the media.
In the greenhouse laboratory, the cultivation plan of Longya rice has been started for a long time.
In the laboratory petri dishes, there are already hundreds of hybrid test specimens of Longya rice.
In order to make the video more convincing, the interview place was specially chosen in the laboratory.
The interviewer was none other than Wang Shuangshuang, who had not left yet.
"Professor Nong, are these experimental products behind you all Longya rice?"
Wang Shuangshuang asked, wearing protective clothing and holding a microphone.
"That's right, here are a total of 150 test specimens that are hybridized with Longya rice as the female parent."
"Based on the tall and sturdy characteristics of Longya rice, we hybridized the long-male wild rice with it."
"Oryza longata is a perennial herbaceous plant."
"If this hybridization is successful, Longya rice may become a perennial rice in the future."
“If you plant it once and maintain it well, it is possible to harvest continuously for four to five years.”
Professor Nong said as he took down a container from the shelf behind him, with a small seedling soaked in it.
"It's incredible. Professor Nong, is this really possible?"
Wang Shuangshuang asked with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Theoretically, it is completely feasible. In the laboratory, we are also improving long-tassel wild rice."
"These experimental products behind me are actually the products of Changxiong's improvements."
"As long as we continue to study, we will always find a match with Changxiong and Longya Dao."
Professor Nong nodded and explained seriously.
Since joining Greenfield Group, he has led his team to study Longya rice day and night.
Aralia rice plants are tall and have very high demand for nutrients.
The cost of cultivation is high, which is the fundamental reason why it is difficult to promote it.
In order to reduce the planting cost of Longya rice, Professor Nong thought of changing the growth method of Longya rice.
Let its root system become more developed, allowing it to absorb nutrients deeper into the ground.
Therefore, long-male wild rice was selected to hybridize Longya rice.
It's just that the genes of the eldest male are too unstable, and the rejection is very strong during the hybridization process.
So they used Jumang Editor to edit Changxiong's genes.
Trying to find the compatibility point between long male wild rice and Aralia rice.
It's just that they are not very proficient in using Jumang, and the improved Changxiongs are all failures.
However, they believe that as long as they continue to study, they will definitely succeed.
"Professor Nong is really amazing. If he succeeds, won't rice be like fruit trees in the future?"
"Can perennial rice like this solve the problem of high planting costs?"
Wang Shuangshuang thought for a while and asked again.
The plant of Aralia rice is more than three meters high, if it really turns into a perennial herbaceous plant.
It's really no different from a fruit tree, like a banana tree.
Whenever bananas mature, farmers will cut down the tall banana trees.
Banana trees will grow again next year, so farmers won’t have to worry too much about farming!
"Yes, if the experiment is successful, the roots of Longya rice will independently absorb nutrients from the deep soil."
"The cost of planting will be greatly reduced. How much it can be reduced requires further experiments."
The cost of planting definitely still exists, but compared with the benefits brought by Longya rice.
This cost is nothing at all. The taste and economic value of Longya rice are stronger than all rice today.
"Thank you, Professor Nong. Let's end the interview here."
After asking a few important questions, Wang Shuangshuang ended the interview.
Professor Nong then took Wang Shuangshuang to visit the laboratory. Of course, it was impossible to show her the Jumang artifact.
After Wang Shuangshuang left the laboratory, the video of the interview quickly appeared on Kyoto TV.
Netizens quickly came across this video, and they all found it novel after watching it.
Rice can still grow for many years, which is simply an anecdote for the ages.
But after seeing so many experimental products in the video, netizens had no choice but to believe what Professor Nong said.
After all, this is the Greenfield Group, and there are too many magical plants that have been improved.
After watching the video, some farmers in the countryside still don’t understand what annual and perennial mean.
I figured it out after reading the comments from netizens in the comment area.
Isn’t that the difference between leeks and rice?
A swath of leeks will grow if you pinch it, and a ridge of leeks can last for several years.
Every year they plant rice, they have to breed, plow, till, and irrigate. I wonder how troublesome it is?
If rice were like leeks, that would be a great thing that I can’t even imagine!
Farmers in the south are very excited, and they are even more looking forward to the emergence of perennial Aralia rice.
Officials from various places also attach great importance to it, and the reputation of Greenfield Group has once again been discussed by the public.
Agricultural companies across the country are envious. Greenfield Group's resources are simply too powerful.
This incredible technology is actually conceivable.
If they really succeed, how can they survive?
Relevant foreign departments have also noticed Professor Nong’s video.
They all attach great importance to this perennial rice plan.
If China's research really succeeds, the world's food will really depend on China's face.
When Jonathan from Mengshan Company saw the news, he was salivating over this technology.
The reason why their company has become the most powerful biological company in the world.
It is they who have mastered most of the world’s patented food genetic technologies.
China's rice research is getting stronger and stronger, once it is really successful.
The grain genetic technology mastered by their company will definitely become a piece of waste paper.
This technology must not be allowed to succeed.
That village is a magical place, the water and soil contain special active energy.
Although water was detected last time, he still spent money to get some soil and water.
After careful research, they discovered that the water and soil of Huaxi contained a special active factor that they had never seen before.
This active factor contains huge energy.
It's a pity that despite all the techniques they used, they were unable to extract this substance.
With this active factor, he fully believed that China's research on rice would be successful.
He would never allow such a thing to happen. Jonathan immediately turned on his computer and logged into the dark web.
Professor Nong Yichun and Jiang Che were put on the hook, and the reward amounts were 20 million meters and 50 million meters respectively.
Someone from the dark web's killer organization immediately took the order, even though he was in China.
But a killer does not necessarily need to use a knife or a gun to kill someone.
Car accidents, poisoning, causing accidents... are their special skills.
A few days later, Professor Nong came out of the greenhouse just after finishing the experiment.
He was walking on the ridge of the field to observe the crops, when a young man walked towards him with a surprised look on his face.
"Oh my god, Professor Nong, you are Professor Nong, right?"
"I am your idol. Perennial rice is such a genius idea!"
The young man ran over happily, opened his hand and grabbed Professor Aong's arm hard.
Professor Nong frowned slightly and felt something on the young man's hand hit him.
Then there was a click, and the jade gift from Jiang Che on his wrist cracked from the middle.
