Chapter 1537 Yang Xiaotao's Method

The next morning, Yang Xiaotao counted the people in the school classroom and prepared to assign tasks.

But he heard someone report that a leader had entered the village, and Yang Xiaotao hurriedly took people out to greet him.

A moment later, he saw an old man in a military coat striding over, followed by a guard.

Yang Xiaotao recognized from a distance that it was Mr. Tao who came.

This is the immediate superior of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Especially in the past two years, agriculture has developed rapidly, and the promotion and planting of hybrid corn has opened up the situation. Hybrid wheat and hybrid rice are not far from success, which makes their own status more important.

And as the country pays more and more attention to it, Mr. Tao's status is now higher than Mr. Huang.

After all, Mr. Huang is only the boss of the First Ministry of Machine Building, while Mr. Tao is the boss of the entire agricultural industry.

"Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward.

When Mr. Tao saw Yang Xiaotao, he smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to start work, so I came to take a look!"

"This operation has attracted a lot of attention from the higher-ups. You three places are our three knives. Whether we can cut off this piece of meat is related to our reputation!"

Mr. Tao said earnestly, "How are the preparations?"

Mr. Tao asked, and Yang Xiaotao followed him.

"The village has already completed two greenhouses yesterday, and all five greenhouses will be completed today. We are going to experiment today..."

Yang Xiaotao quickly went to talk about his plan, and Mr. Tao nodded while listening.

The two of them quickly came to the classroom. Everyone in the room was curious, and many people did not know Mr. Tao.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to introduce but was interrupted by Mr. Tao, "I came here this time just to see the work of the comrades."

"In this regard, I don't know much, and I can only help a limited amount!"

"But if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "With your words, I have a bottom line in my heart!"

Mr. Tao smiled, "I'm here to guarantee you a bottom line!"

"Go!"

After saying this, Mr. Tao took the guards to sit down beside the classroom, as if he was a teacher listening to the class.

Yang Xiaotao saw that everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and then he coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention.

"Captain Hou, tell me about the research progress!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's voice, Hou Lijing immediately walked up to the podium, came to the blackboard, picked up the chalk and began to talk.

"Captain, during this period of time, based on the data sent back by Director Gao and others, we have done a lot of work!"

"Especially the overall properties of the soil have been understood, which is quite different from the soil structure here."

Hou Lijing wrote a series of nouns on it, and then listed two columns of data at the back.

Of course, it is not accurate data, but a general range.

Yang Xiaotao squinted and compared the difference between the two sides in his mind.

"Captain Yang!"

After Hou Lijing finished writing, she began to analyze.

"According to our conclusion, the pH value is the first major difference."

"We analyzed the soil in the greenhouse, and its pH value is between 6.5 and 7.0."

"But the data sent by Director Gao shows that the pH value of the Artemisia selengensis production area is between 7.0 and 7.5."

"In other words, both are neutral soils, but the pH value is obviously higher in the northwest."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Mr. Tao in the corner also nodded silently.

When it comes to the pharmacy of medicinal herbs, any factor may lead to differences, and there is no need to be careless.

Mr. Tao also knows the reason, and he also understood this when he called the dean last night.

"We can use fertilizer to adjust this!"

Hou Lijing nodded, obviously this is the most suitable method at the moment.

As for where to get the fertilizer, it is not their concern.

With Captain Yang here, there is no problem!

Yang Xiaotao, however, looked at Mr. Tao, who nodded gently.

"Besides that, it is the temperature and the temperature difference."

Hou Lijing pointed to the data and said, "According to the habits of Artemisia selengensis, it starts to grow in summer, and the daytime temperature in the northwest region is between 23℃ and 35℃, and the night temperature is about 9℃ to 20℃, with a temperature difference of 15℃ but about 20℃."

"If we want to simulate the environment, we need to meet this requirement."

"Otherwise, the temperature and temperature difference will not be reached, and it is easy to..."

Hou Lijing said here, looking at everyone, "It is easy not to grow, or, after growing, it is not the kind we need."

"But, how to control the temperature and find the right temperature law is a very time-consuming thing."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after listening. He understood the matter of southern oranges and northern citrons, and he also knew the impact of soil and climate on plants.

But now, they have no other choice.

"Students, comrades!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and came to the podium.

Took out the chalk and drew a heavy line on the temperature.

Then his tone became serious.

"Temperature and temperature difference will be the focus and difficulty of our future work!"

"Any mistake may make our efforts and investment go to waste."

"And the consequence is mission failure."

"The consequence of mission failure will be very serious!"

"We can't afford to lose."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously. It was the first time he saw Yang Xiaotao so serious. Not only Hou Lijing was moving, but also the students who followed him in the past were heavy in their hearts and felt great pressure.

"I hope everyone will cheer up and strive to complete this mission!"

"Next, let me talk about the experimental plan!"

Everyone immediately took up paper and pen to record it.

"Captain Hou, how many seeds of Artemisia selengensis are there?"

Hou Lijing nodded, "Captain, because of the urgency of the matter, the comrades in the northwest collected more than five kilograms in total, and only about one kilogram was allocated to our third echelon."

"We counted and there are about 8,500 seeds!"

Hearing the accurate value, Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction.

This shows that he has enough for Xiaowei to experiment.

"Next, we will divide into two groups, Group One and Group Two."

"Captain Hou, Captain Wang, each lead a group of people."

Yang Xiaotao began to arrange tasks, and everyone listened carefully.

"Captain Wang, your group is responsible for soil preparation, and I will ask people to find fertilizers."

"Your group is to prepare soil with different pH values!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Hao immediately raised his hand, and Yang Xiaotao nodded. Then Wang Hao asked, "Captain Yang, since we have soil samples from the northwest, why don't we just do it according to the ones there?"

"We will do the file of the pH value of the soil there, but can you guarantee that the soil there will definitely be suitable for the climate environment here?"

Wang Hao was not sure in his heart.

"Make more gradients, just in case of accidents!"

"Understood!"

Wang Hao nodded and began to select team members, basically all young guys.

After all, mixing soil is not a light job.

"The rest, Group Two, are responsible for controlling temperature changes."

Then Yang Xiaotao made targeted arrangements.

First, Yang Xiaotao made full use of the five greenhouses that had been built first.

Secondly, place 100 wooden boxes in each greenhouse, plant seeds and mark them.

Finally, divide the temperature.

Divide according to the temperature in the northwest, and control the temperature difference within 15℃.

The method used is very simple. If the temperature is low, light the stove, and if the temperature is high, ventilate.

"That's all I said. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Everyone nodded.

Mr. Tao calculated in his mind that this method, which is not a method, incorporates the problems considered in the northwest and southwest, especially the temperature requirements, and makes a detailed division and provides a solution.

In the current situation of time being tight, Yang Xiaotao's net-casting experiment has become the best way at present.

Even if the success rate is not high, it is also a way.

Of course, he didn't know that Yang Xiaotao dared to do this because he relied on Xiaowei.

This is why Yang Xiaotao asked the timber factory to prepare 500 wooden boxes.

With Xiaowei, the situation of grass seeds in the wooden boxes can be clearly detected.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao could also let Xiaowei use her ability to ripen the grass seeds.

But that was not what Yang Xiaotao wanted.

What Yang Xiaotao wanted was to find a suitable environment to make greenhouse planting possible.

Of course, if no suitable method could be found in the end, and the dean and Gao Yufeng also failed, Yang Xiaotao would let Xiaowei take action.

After all, Yang Xiaotao still knew the importance of life-saving drugs!

"Chief!"

After everything was arranged, Yang Xiaotao looked at Mr. Tao next to him, "Do you have any instructions?"

"No, you arranged it very well."

Sitting in his seat, Mr. Tao felt that there was nothing to add. He had thought of everything that should be thought of, and it was even more comprehensive than the plans submitted by Sichuan and Northwest.

As for whether it could succeed, it depended on God's will.

Then everyone started to get busy as instructed. Mr. Tao followed Yang Xiaotao to the greenhouse. From a distance, three greenhouses had been covered with film, and the remaining two were setting up frames.

There were busy people everywhere around.

Old Tao walked forward, accompanied by Yang Xiaotao.

"Grandpa, grandpa, this is Chief Tao."

When they came to the front of the crowd, Grandpa, Lao Jin and the old principal were smoking. When they saw Yang Xiaotao leading people over, they came forward.

Old Tao had heard of Grandpa Yang and knew who Yang Xiaotao's grandfather was. He immediately stepped forward and talked enthusiastically with the old people.

"Chief, don't worry, these hundreds of greenhouses are not a problem."

Grandpa patted his chest and assured, "As long as the surrounding villages unite and mobilize, they can do it before the New Year."

After hearing this, Mr. Tao smiled and nodded continuously, "I believe, I believe in the ability of my comrades and fellow villagers."

"I believe that with the cooperation of our workers and farmers, there is no task that cannot be completed."

Later, accompanied by a group of people, Mr. Tao came to the first completed greenhouse. As soon as he came in, he felt that it was much warmer than the ice and snow outside.

At this moment, the people above were laying straw curtains. Several people stood on the wall, and then pushed the straw curtains with long bamboo poles and rolled them down.

"This kind of curtain made of straw can effectively keep warm and prevent the greenhouse temperature from being too low to affect growth."

Yang Xiaotao explained on the side, and Mr. Tao nodded, "Are these straw curtains enough?"

"Now these are enough, but if we build according to 100 greenhouses, it will definitely not be enough."

"Write a charter for the method of making straw curtains, and I will have someone send them to Jiangsu and Zhejiang later, and send them directly after they are made there."

"By the way, send them to the northwest."

Mr. Tao thought for a moment and then made up his mind.

Since the higher-ups have given their full support, why should he not speak up?

"That's great. We mobilized the whole village to do this overnight. It would be even better if someone could help."

Yang Xiaotao said, and then continued to walk in the greenhouse.

"This place is close to the river, so watering is not a problem."

After a round of introductions, Mr. Tao was very satisfied with the construction of the greenhouse. Considering all aspects, the most important thing is that it works.

It is indeed warm inside.

"I will arrange fertilizers, straw curtains and materials for relevant personnel as soon as possible."

"What you have to do is to go all out and grow these grasses."

Before leaving, Mr. Tao said earnestly, and Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately after hearing it, "Don't worry, Chief, I have confidence."

A smile appeared on Mr. Tao's face after hearing this. Somehow, after this trip, his original worries were much less.

Perhaps this is the power that confident people give people.

"I'll wait for your good news."

The car drove away, and Yang Xiaotao turned back and rushed to the greenhouse.

Now that I have said it, it would be embarrassing if I cannot do it.
