Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

In this way, the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer will be greatly improved, and the root system will be able to spread freely. Wouldn't the yield of hybrid rice be even higher? "

Everyone suddenly realized this and couldn't help but admire Wu Ping's knowledge.

Qian Wenbin even thought secretly: "The method of deep cultivation may seem ordinary, but in fact it contains a lot of knowledge. If you master this technology, not only hybrid rice, but also the yield of ordinary crops can be greatly improved. By then Sometimes, you might even be able to make a fortune from this!”

Wu Ping saw that everyone had understood the secret of deep plowing, so he made a quick decision and ordered: "Everyone divide the fields into several areas, and each person is responsible for plowing one acre of land. You must be meticulous and don't slack off at all!"

Everyone moved in response, each received their spades and picks, and went into deep plowing work.

I saw them sweating profusely and working hard under the scorching sun.

The shovel sank into the ground again and again, turning up the hard soil layer by layer.

The mud shone with crystal luster in the sun, gradually becoming soft and loose.

While turning the soil vigorously, Li Yang sighed secretly: "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to farm. In the past, I thought I only knew how to scatter seeds and water. No wonder the harvest was not good. This deep plowing is really laborious. What a job!”

Zhang Delu smiled at the side and said sincerely: "Young man, farming is a slow job. The ancients said: 'You plant a grain of millet in the spring and harvest ten thousand grains in the autumn.' Behind every harvest is the hard work and sweat of the farmers. The more we shed a drop of sweat today, the more we can harvest an extra bucket of food in the future!”

When Li Yang heard this, his fighting spirit suddenly became high.

He swung the spade and pickaxe harder and harder, wishing he could devote all his life's energy to this land.

Qian Wenbin was working while thinking in his mind: "The work of deep plowing is much more time-consuming than fertilizing. If we hire people to do it, the wages will probably be doubled several times. It seems that this method of deep plowing requires more work. Although it’s good, it’s not easy to promote it.”

Wu Ping was also sweating profusely with everyone.

Although he holds a high position, he never takes refuge in anything.

In his view, the success or failure of the agricultural revolution depends not only on scientific guidance, but also on the spirit of hard work and dedication.

The sun is high in the sky, and the sun is as scorching as fire.

Everyone had been working under the scorching sun for more than half an hour, and everyone was sweating profusely, with blood blisters on their hands.

Wu Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around. He saw that most of the experimental field had been plowed deeply, like land that had been plowed by a giant plow. The mud looked soft and full of life in the sun.

He happily clapped his hands and laughed: "Well done, everyone! With such intensive and careful work, we are one step closer to the goal of a bumper harvest!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Although everyone is exhausted, thinking that the hard work and sweat will eventually turn into golden ears of rice in autumn, the fatigue in their hearts is suddenly swept away.

Zhang Delu held up his hoe and said firmly: "Master Wu, I have been farming all my life, and this is the first time I have seen such a scientific planting method. I think back then, whenever there was a famine, the people in the village would be stretched thin and starve to death. Now that we have this wonderful method of deep plowing, we hope that in a few months, our rice fields will be able to produce 400 kilograms of rice per mu and be able to withstand all kinds of natural disasters!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ping nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely right! The hybrid rice promoted by our Department of Agriculture must not only be high-yielding and disaster-resistant, but also have to have a good taste and be rich in nutrition. If it flourishes everywhere in the future, it will surely fill the stomachs of the people and make famine eradicated! By then, it will be the hard work of us 'mud legs'!" After hearing this, everyone was even more excited.

They secretly determined that no matter how much hard work they put in, they would manage this experimental field well so that hybrid rice could take root and flourish in Ming Dynasty.

In this way, everyone in the Department of Agriculture worked together and fought hard to lay a solid foundation for the experimental field step by step.

When the sun set and the lanterns came on, Wu Ping announced that today's work was over.

He looked at the soft and fertile land under his feet, and his heart was filled with pride and joy.

"Everyone, we're done! Next, we just have to wait for the seedlings to take root, ear and spin silk. By then, this barren wasteland will turn into a golden sea of ​​rice, worth tens of thousands of dollars!" Wu Ping said with confidence.

A few days later, after reclamation, fertilization, and deep plowing, the wasteland in front of us has been turned into an experimental field for cultivating hybrid rice.

Looking at this fertile soil that has been carefully cultivated, Wu Ping's heart was filled with joy and expectation.

But he knew that cultivating high-quality hybrid rice seeds was the key to ensuring a bumper harvest.

"Everyone, hybrid rice is better than conventional rice, with high yield and strong stress resistance. This is all due to the breeding technology of artificial hybridization." Wu Ping said earnestly: "Hybrid breeding is a university subject and requires careful selection of parents. The parent and female parent are then artificially pollinated to produce offspring with hybrid vigor. This process is a great test of the agricultural students’ vision and skills, and there is no room for sloppiness!”

When everyone heard this, they immediately stood in awe.

They secretly made up their minds to seriously study the breeding techniques taught by Wu Ping and repay his ardent expectations with practical actions.

In the early morning of this morning, Wu Ping had already led the disciples from the Department of Agriculture to the experimental field.

He looked around at the carefully cultivated fertile soil in front of him, with a happy smile on his face.

Yesterday's hard work finally brought us this fertile land, laying a solid foundation for the cultivation of hybrid rice.

"Everyone, today's task is to select the best varieties." Wu Ping said firmly: "To cultivate high-quality hybrid rice, it is crucial to select the right male and female parents. We need to divide the experimental field into several areas, and in each area Different types of rice seeds are sown in each area, and then superior hybrid varieties are selected through artificial hybridization.”

After everyone heard this, they all immediately geared up and were eager to give it a try.

"Master Wu, selective breeding is a university subject!" Li Yang scratched his head and said with some uneasiness: "I'm afraid we rough guys don't understand these twists and turns. If you choose the wrong male parent, Originally, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted?”

When Wu Ping heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Li Yang, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. The secret of selective breeding is to practice more and summarize frequently. I will teach you this skill today. In the future, you will be able to stand alone and become experts in breeding.”

With that said, Wu Ping led everyone to the first area of ​​the experimental field.

I saw him calmly opening a small cloth bag and pouring out a handful of full rice seeds. (End of chapter)
