While Li Sheng was thinking about it, he looked at Li Er and others hesitantly and said, "This microscope is actually not that mysterious..."
"Although advanced medicines can be developed to control foreign nobles, this is not the right way after all. The biggest role of the microscope is to observe cells, improve biology itself, and lay a solid foundation. This is the long-term solution to maintain advantages."
Li Sheng suddenly said this, and Li Er and others exchanged glances, and their hearts suddenly trembled.
Is there key information and top-notch doctrine to be imparted?
Then, Wei Zhengzhan on the side asked in a trembling voice, "I wonder what the usefulness of this 'cell biology' you mentioned..."
Although Wei Zheng's voice was trembling and he seemed to be timid in front of Li Sheng, his heart was firm.
What is the use of such an awesome thing? You have to find out from Li Sheng's mouth!
Li Er, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling on the side looked at each other and nodded quietly, secretly praising Wei Zheng for his quick reaction. As soon as these words came out, Li Sheng was obviously not very good at bringing up the topic.
And then, Li Sheng shrugged casually, "If you want to ask about the application... there are many. In addition to medicine, it also has endless benefits for agriculture... Only by studying crops at the cellular level can we truly and quickly select improved varieties.
…”
When Li Er and others heard this, their hearts suddenly trembled again.
Improved crops? Damn...
This is tantamount to another strategic level improvement for Datang!
And then, Li Er couldn't help but asked immediately, "Young Master, I don't know this..."
"What is the yield of this high-quality grain..."
To put it bluntly, this is the most important part. If the increase in output cannot be increased, can it still be called an increase?
Of course, although Li Er asked this, he actually didn't dare to have too many expectations.
After all, it is not easy to increase the output of something as critical as food - this can directly affect the national destiny of a country. Although the Tang Dynasty is currently undergoing transformation, it has vaguely progressed from a purely agricultural country as in the past to
The country was founded through industry, but then again, this matter cannot be simply generalized - if farming cannot progress and there is no surplus grain support, there will be no industry. And the facts... have fully proved this point.
Overseas countries, due to sea trade, many of them have gradually learned about the strong industry of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also many small countries, in which monarchs and nobles have taken the initiative to quietly develop industries in their countries...
...And even when this kind of thing doesn't happen, Li Er will quietly arrange his informants and intelligence systems to collect information.
And now that he knows that foreign countries are engaged in industry, Li Er needs to pay more attention to it. But...
After Li Er paid attention to it for a long time, he discovered an extremely unexpected but at the same time extremely important situation - the progress of industrial construction in overseas countries is not only ordinary slow, it can almost be described as difficult.
Li Er was naturally very happy about such a good thing. After all, the power of industry has now been experienced by the Tang Dynasty. Even... the existence of industry is also because the production and construction of chemical fertilizers, cement and water conservancy facilities have fed back farming, which has contributed to the improvement of national strength.
It is a substantial improvement in all aspects.
Such a good thing, the Tang Dynasty is now facing a trouble that Rome will definitely not be able to solve in a while, so naturally... The intention is not much better, of course, it is to hope that other countries will not suddenly grow fat, otherwise the foreign invasion of the Tang Dynasty will
The pressure is increasing again.
As for the reason, Li Er quickly investigated and put it more straightforwardly...
Even the overseas countries cannot collect enough food!
To be precise, it is not the absolute amount of food, but the additional food. For example, if a country has a population of one million, then... it is definitely not enough to feed one million people.
Because there is essentially no difference between running a country and running a family - ordinary people cannot earn as much as they want and spend as much as they want, but running a country requires storing food for wars, famines, etc.
In other words, at least 1.2 million people need to have food for a year in order for this country to survive. This is still an ideal situation. If it is not an ideal situation, it is indeed only 1 million.
The food output per person is even less, only 800,000 people, then...
That's the same, then you have to withhold food for 200,000 people from the teeth. Because people don't have enough to eat, they may be emotive for a year, but if there is a war and there is no food, or there is no harvest in a certain place
, if such a thing really happens, it cannot be solved by emo in a few nights, and countless lives will have to be buried.
And to develop industry, this matter is even more difficult to handle, and more food is needed! Originally, it was enough to withhold food for 200,000 people, but if we want to further develop industry, this number must become three
One hundred thousand, four hundred thousand, or even five hundred thousand and one million may not be capped, but what is certain is... at the very least, one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand must be deducted, otherwise there will be no manpower available to develop industry.
Datang's advantage in this regard is undoubtedly that it surpasses all other countries. Whether it is potatoes, sweet potatoes, water conservancy projects built with cement, or chemical fertilizers, they are all at the level of artifacts. And these...
It is not something that overseas countries can accomplish independently. Even the Tang Dynasty spent countless manpower and material resources to finally complete the construction of these things.
But in this way, Li Er can imagine that farming has been promoted a lot by these powerful methods, and it will be very difficult to further improve it... I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
It is simply unimaginable how this food production can be increased - but...
Then, Li Sheng thought for a while, ate some food, took a sip of beer, and said leisurely, "I guess... there must be several times or ten times the amount. It should be this amount."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mouths of Li Er, Wei Zheng... and others opened wide on the spot.
The four faces suddenly froze, and then stared at Li Sheng in horror. The light in their eyes... besides being unbelievable, was just unbelievable!
This... the agricultural output of the Tang Dynasty can actually be increased several times!?
This is so scary!
However, after being shocked for a few seconds, questions immediately appeared in everyone's minds.
Wei Zheng, in particular, looked at Li Sheng with confusion and shock.
Although they are all confused, how can farming have increased several times after it has been improved to this day... This is like buying a mobile phone in later generations and receiving two thousand-yuan coupons, thinking it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but in the end they found out that there are still coupons... The whole thing is broken, this probability is too high
Too small!
And Wei Zheng's level of confusion is even higher than that of Li Er and others, because some time ago...
