Chapter 1314 Joy
"Send this paper to Team Leader Bai."
"Yes!"
Yu Zecheng wrote a number on the slip and handed it to the person following him, then led the people to the next house.
"Tian Erniu, Ma Liping, Feng Heng, Shan Quanmin."
Team headquarters, in front of the wall.
As Bai Ling read out the names one by one, the people in front quickly found the corresponding positions and then drew the word "正" with chalk below.
Looking at the long and short "正", Bai Ling's eyes patrolled back and forth, as if to find something different.
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao, Teacher Yuan and Hao Pingchuan brought people to the experimental field outside Xiaoping Village.
Standing on the ridge beside the field, looking around, the destroyed rice fields were all silent and desolate.
From the town to here, Yang Xiaotao has seen many rice fields along the way. The rice seedlings in those rice fields are green, clustered and layered. From a distance, they look like squares, like a landscape painting.
But in front of me, several rice fields fell down one by one, and the surrounding rice fields were destroyed, which was desolate.
The rice seedlings that once thrived are now in a mess.
The ground is covered with broken rice seedlings, which are worn out and lifeless. Compared with the surrounding rice fields, it is like an oil painting with a blank space wiped out.
There are several guards standing around, and there are still people cleaning up the rice fields.
These are all researchers of hybrid rice.
Teacher Yuan stood aside, unable to hide his sadness.
Taking off his shoes, Teacher Yuan walked into the rice field step by step, reached out and picked up a rice seedling. The originally green leaves were stuck with mud, and the stems were even broken by step.
Teacher Yuan stretched out his hand to straighten the broken seedlings, but every time he supported them, the seedlings would tilt again.
The spine is broken, no matter how you support it, it is useless.
Old Yuan put down the seedling and walked forward.
Yang Xiaotao handed his shoes to Hao Pingchuan, then rolled up his trouser legs and followed behind. Several people did not speak because they did not know what to say.
Following Teacher Yuan to a rice field, he pointed to the mess in front and said, "Here is the planting area for sterile male plants."
"What a pity!"
At this time, the students inside saw Teacher Yuan coming and came over one after another.
Many people still had tears on their faces.
"Teacher Yuan, there is not a single plant left!"
The leading girl had mud on her face and held two rice seedlings in her hands. She spoke with a crying voice.
"Teacher Yuan, why did they do this? This, this was so hard to find, why did we destroy it?"
"Yes, why, we are doing this for their own good."
"Teacher Yuan, how is Yu Hua, is he okay?"
"Yes, is Senior Brother Yu Hua okay? Is Sister An with him?"
A group of people were confused and surrounded Teacher Yuan, asking loudly, and some were concerned about Yu Hua's safety.
Teacher Yuan looked at everyone and said, "Yu Hua is still in the hospital, but the doctor said he is fine."
"As for what this is, I don't know."
At this point, he looked at Yang Xiaotao on the side and introduced to everyone, "Classmates, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao."
"He is also the first Comrade Yang Xiaotao in our country who has been recognized by foreign experts in the field of genetic hybridization and published papers in foreign journals."
"At the same time, he is also the technical team leader in our hybrid rice research project."
Several people immediately looked at Yang Xiaotao.
As a member of the hybridization experiment, Yang Xiaotao's name is not unfamiliar to them.
The hybrid corn paper he wrote is posted on the bulletin board of their institute.
Everyone here can express the views and processes in the paper and understand them.
In particular, An Ran and Yu Hua once went to Sijiucheng to listen to Yang Xiaotao's class, and many novel theories were even more admired.
"Classmates, hello."
Yang Xiaotao smiled warmly and looked at the people in front of him, who were about the same age as him.
"I'll give you the answer to this question."
Yang Xiaotao walked aside, picked up a broken seedling, and came to the front again.
"Do you know what will happen if this seedling grows up?"
"We can use this seedling to crossbreed with superior seedlings to obtain superior rice seedlings. Among them, there may be the high-yield rice we need."
"Who can tell me what the yield per mu of ordinary rice fields is now?"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly asked, and the people around looked at each other. Finally, the girl who spoke first spoke, "Teacher Yang, now one mu of good irrigated fields can produce more than 300 kilograms, and a slightly worse one can produce more than 200 kilograms."
"Good, not bad."
After praising, Yang Xiaotao's face became serious, "When we will get high-yield If rice is developed, the yield will increase by at least 30%, or even 50%, or even double. "
"At that time, planting one mu is equivalent to the yield of one and a half mu."
"Don't think it's impossible, because high-yield corn has proved that doubling the yield per mu is common."
"And on this basis, we can further research and cultivate better super rice, and then it is possible to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu."
"So do you think that the enemy will let us produce such a grain variety that is so beneficial to the country and the people and has important significance for revolutionary construction?"
The people around looked at each other and showed anger.
"Teacher Yang, they are too bad. They just can't stand seeing others doing well."
"If they do this, are they still Chinese? They are simply a group of beasts who have forgotten their roots."
"Yes, they are too mean. They don't want to be good, and they don't want others to be strong. Our nation is being led astray by such selfish villains."
Several people cursed.
In their opinion, no matter what their position is, it is not necessary to support this meaningful thing for the future of the nation, but how can it be destroyed?
Yang Xiaotao listened to them and did not comment on their ideas.
I can only say that they are too naive.
"Classmates, now is not the time to complain."
Yang Xiaotao stopped everyone's indignation and then looked at the rice fields in front.
"We need to find undamaged seedlings as soon as possible. Even if there is only one, there is hope."
"Yes, classmates, hurry up and find it."
Teacher Yuan reacted and looked at the destroyed rice fields on the side, and a little hope rose in his heart.
"Yes, let's go find it."
"Hurry up and find it."
As the voice fell, several people quickly dispersed and ran towards several rice fields.
Even if only one is found, it will be fine.
Yang Xiaotao also separated from Teacher Yuan and walked towards the rice fields on the side.
At this time, Xiaowei was already shuttling through the rice fields, looking for the rice seedlings with the most energy.
Arriving at the rice fields, Yang Xiaotao reached out his hand to search on the ground, took the opportunity to call Xiaowei over and ask about the situation.
Xiaowei exchanged a few words, and Yang Xiaotao frowned.
In Xiaowei's eyes, these rice seedlings had been destroyed for too long, and many of them had withered and lost their vitality.
"Can you use your ability to save them?"
"Swish!"
Xiaowei lowered her head and waved on the rice seedlings with broken roots.
"Can't? Then this matter is tricky."
Originally, Yang Xiaotao wanted Xiaowei to help save several rice seedlings. Although not many, it can also preserve some vitality.
Let the experiment continue.
But now, Xiaowei made it clear that it was not possible.
Firstly, the rice seedlings here have lost a lot of energy and even withered. Even if she forced energy into them to revive them, because she did not understand the mechanism of male sterility, if the energy filled them, the seeds that grew in the end would not inherit the shape of male sterility, which would be a big problem.
It might also cause trouble to the experimental team and make them go wrong in their research direction.
This is also what Yang Xiaotao considered.
Rice is not like corn.
Xiaowei has already been familiar with the various mechanisms of corn.
But this is the first time for rice.
"Forget it, you help me find out if there is any that can be saved."
Swoosh~~
Xiaowei agreed, and then quickly shuttled under the straw leaves.
At this time, everyone was already seriously looking for the "slippery fish", but unfortunately, after more than half an hour of searching, the sun was already slanting in the sky, and the sun was scorching the earth.
"No, we don't have any."
"I didn't find it either. These people are so wicked that they cut them with sickles. They are really too much."
Several students searched carefully, but there was not a single intact seedling, and they were very upset.
Teacher Yuan was pounding his waist, looking solemn.
After searching carefully this time, he still didn't get any results.
There were only broken and damaged seedlings.
And in this rice field, he also found seedlings from other fields.
That is to say, the seedlings here are not all sterile.
I don't know whether these people did it intentionally or accidentally.
In short, these mixed seedlings have increased the difficulty of increasing the sterile seedlings.
Several people complained beside Teacher Yuan, and Yang Xiaotao, who was not far away, also stood up and looked at the seedlings he picked up in his hand. There were defects in each one.
He put them on the soil ridge beside him helplessly.
Just when Yang Xiaotao was about to give up, Xiaowei's call came from his heart.
Yang Xiaotao walked to the right without a sound.
Soon, under Xiaowei's guidance, they came to a well and looked down.
Instantly, they saw three or four rice seedlings floating on the water surface of the half-meter diameter well.
Whoosh~~
"What? These rice seedlings are in good condition? Are you sure?"
Whoosh!
"Are they the same as the rice seedlings in the rice field?"
Whoosh! ! !
After hearing Xiaowei's explanation, Yang Xiaotao immediately turned around and shouted to the distance, "Brother Yuan, here, here."
Hao Pingchuan was the first to react when he heard Yang Xiaotao's call. He ran over with two pairs of leather shoes, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Teacher Yuan also ran over behind him and quickly came to the entrance.
The students also rushed over, stretching their heads to look down.
"This, is this rice seedling?"
"Quick, quickly pick it up."
Teacher Yuan shouted in surprise, and was about to reach down, but was stopped by Yang Xiaotao on the side.
"Brother, you can't reach it."
Teacher Yuan came back to his senses after hearing this, but he was anxious when he looked at the seedlings in the water.
Yang Xiaotao looked around and finally fixed his eyes on a young man.
"Classmate, come here."
The man was thin and tall, and when he heard Yang Xiaotao call him, he quickly came forward.
"Classmate, you can see that the well mouth is not wide and it is quite deep."
"If you trust me, I will put you down, hold the seedlings, and then pull you up."
"Teacher Yang, I am willing."
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished talking about the method, the man answered firmly, nodded to Teacher Yuan, and the surrounding classmates also sent encouraging eyes.
Teacher Yuan opened his mouth and could not say anything polite. In the end, he could only respond with an affirmative look.
"Okay, don't worry, there will be no problem."
Hao Pingchuan also came over and moved his wrist, "Yes, I am here, you can go down without worry."
As he said that, the boy lay down directly at the mouth of the well. In the eyes of everyone's worry and expectation, Yang Xiaotao held his right foot with both hands, and Hao Pingchuan held his left foot with both hands, and the two slowly pushed it in.
"Flashlight, who has a flashlight."
Teacher Yuan shouted, and the guard not far away immediately ran over and handed over a flashlight.
After the boy completely entered the well, his palm finally reached the water surface.
Teacher Yuan lay aside and shone the flashlight quickly.
"I caught him, I caught him."
The voice of the boy came from below. Yang Xiaotao and Hao Pingchuan looked at each other, and instantly exerted force to quickly pull the boy out.
"Look, it's okay, there are roots, not broken."
"Found it, that's right, it looks like a sterile plant, this is a sterile plant."
Teacher Yuan held four rice seedlings in both hands, and the whole person became excited.
It was as if a long drought had finally come to an end, as if a lost person saw the lights of home.
"Quick, find a place to plant it."
"No, go back to the base, go back to the base and plant it."
Teacher Yuan shouted, and didn't bother to talk to Yang Xiaotao, and ran out barefoot, laughing as he ran.
Yang Xiaotao laughed behind him and walked forward step by step.
And Hao Pingchuan on the side rubbed his arm, looking at Yang Xiaotao's relaxed look, very puzzled.
When he pulled it up at the last moment, he didn't use any strength at all, it was Yang Xiaotao who pulled it up alone.
"This guy is really strong."
"Old Hao, hurry up, let's go to the village to have a look."
Yang Xiaotao watched Teacher Yuan and several others get on the car and run to the base, and didn't follow them.
"Okay, right away."
At this time, Bai Ling, who was standing outside the brigade headquarters, stared at a name with only three lines, with a cold expression.
