Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 152 Father and Son Dual Academicians

"Boss Li, I'm willing to admit defeat. This is the crucian carp I caught by jumping into the fish pond. The crucian carp is delicious and suitable for making soup. Wait for a while, and I'll stew it for you!" Fang Yu held his wet head , holding a fat crucian carp in his hand to apologize to Li Lei.

"Hey, it's just a joke, why do you take it seriously? Take a shower and change your clothes quickly, so you don't catch a cold!" Li Lei was a little embarrassed by this.

"Haha, although I lost this bet, I'm so happy! With such good feed, our research progress can be accelerated a lot, and we don't have to spend precious foreign exchange on feed. There are a lot of urgently needed equipment There is money to buy it!" Fang Yu was not only not angry, but also a little excited.

"So I'm absolutely willing to go to the pond to catch fish!" Fang Yu wiped his face, turned around and left, "Teacher, Boss Li, I'm going to stew the fish first."

Li Lei and Commissioner Liu continued to squat by the pond, analyzing the difference between the fish that ate the feed Li Lei sent over and other fish, and reluctantly left after the food was ready.

The first bite was naturally the grass carp fed with the new feed. Commissioner Liu tasted it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Well, the taste is good, almost the same taste as the grass carp fed with traditional methods, but the growth is much faster. .”

"Although it costs money to buy feed, but the meat grows faster, the feeding cycle is shortened, and the output is increased. All in all, as long as the feed is not too expensive, most farmers are still willing to use it! You can give me more for the next batch. Click here, now you can expand the scope of the experiment!"

Although judging from the situation these days, the effect of this new type of feed is good, but Commissioner Liu did not decide to start promoting it rashly, because any newly developed feed must go through a large-scale and long-term inspection. After confirming that there is no problem, we can enter the link of large-scale application.

If there is a problem in promoting rashly, it will be serious. Committee member Liu wants to let the Chinese people eat more and better fish, and this kind of mistake will definitely not be made.

Li Lei is familiar with the promotion process of agricultural achievements, and he is also very supportive of Committee Member Liu's arrangement, "Then let's go in two steps, your side will continue to do experiments, and I will keep an eye on them and build the Wuhan branch as soon as possible; in this case After your experiment is completed, I can start mass production right away."

"Judging from the current situation, you shouldn't have any big problems with this kind of feed, and you can indeed start building the factory now; if you have any formalities, just tell me, sometimes I can still come in handy Little use!" Commissioner Liu said modestly.

You are a member of the academic department, and you enjoy the treatment at the vice-ministerial level. Does speaking have only a little use?Especially in the field of aquaculture, as long as you speak, the big leaders in the capital have to listen carefully. After all, they don't understand professional things, and they have to respect your opinions on what to do.

"Crucian carp soup is here!" Fang Yu, who had changed his clothes, came in with a soup bowl. He picked up a spoon and filled a bowl for Committee Member Liu first, and then it was Li Lei's turn.

Commissioner Liu took a sip of the fish soup and was very satisfied, "Xiao Li, try this fish soup. It's hard to say that we cook other dishes here. When it comes to cooking fish, it is not inferior to those chefs in big restaurants; After all, I have been working with fish all year round, who hasn't cooked hundreds or thousands of fish?"

"The taste is really good, without adding too many spices, it's all the deliciousness of the crucian carp itself, and the heat is just right!" After taking two mouthfuls of fish soup, Li Lei changed the topic to crucian carp again, "Speaking of crucian carp, in this respect in China right now, Hunan should do better, right?"

"Well, Liu Yun from Hunan Normal University is an expert in this field. If you want to sell the feed to Hunan, I can write you a letter. You go to Changsha to find Liu Yun and give him a trial. If he thinks it is good, he will definitely help you. Promotion!" Committee Member Liu knew what Li Lei wanted to do and offered to help.

"Thank you very much." Hubei and Hunan are both important provinces in the domestic freshwater aquaculture industry. If these two big markets are won, other places will be much easier to handle.

The Liu Jun mentioned by Committee Member Liu is also quite a remarkable figure. He graduated from the Department of Biology of Hunan University in his early years, and was later assigned to the Department of Biology of Hunan Normal University as a teaching assistant.

In the 50s, under the recommendation of Dong Shuangqiu, then director of the Biology Department of Hunan Normal University, Liu Yun was sent to the Institute of Experimental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences to study experimental embryology. .

By the way, Director Dong’s resume looks a little scary. During the Republic of China, he went to study in France with Comrade Wu Hao, and transferred to the University of Berlin in Germany two years later. During his stay in Germany, he often studied Marx’s works with Marshal Zhu Yujie. If he hadn't been obsessed with academics, he would have become a veteran of our party with these qualifications alone.

After returning from his studies, Liu Yun taught in the Department of Biology of Hunan Normal University while doing scientific research in Yuelu Fishing Farm. After years of hard work, he achieved fruitful results.

Theoretically established a systematic reproductive physiology of China's main farmed fish (the four major family carp as the main body), Chinese soft-shelled turtle (turtle) and frogs (edible), and cultivated high-quality fish such as "Xiangyun crucian carp" and "Xiangyun carp". High yielding variety.

In the future, Professor Liu Jun was also elected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering in 1995, and in 2019, his son Liu Shaojun was also elected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

There are many academicians in the field of agriculture in Hunan, including Yin Yulong, academician of pig raising, Zou Xiaoxiao, academician of pepper, Liu Zhonghua, academician of tea, Bai Lianyang, academician of weed control, Shan Yang, academician of food engineering, Wu Yiqiang, academician of wood and bamboo, and of course the most famous hybrid Mr. Yuan, the father of rice.

However, this is the first time that a father and son have double academicians in the field of agriculture in Hunan, and both of them are doing fish research, which has become a good story for a while.

After spending two days arranging the affairs in Wuhan, Li Lei rushed to Changsha with Committee Liu's letter non-stop. When he arrived in Changsha, he first went to the Teachers College to find someone, but he was not there as expected, and then went straight to Yuelu Fishing Ground. Professor Liu really raised fish here.

On the bank of the Xiangjiang River and the bank of Yuelu, there is an experimental base of more than ten acres, more than 30 fish ponds, and more than 100 fish tanks. This is the place where Professor Liu raises fish. Beside him, there is a young man with a somewhat similar face. Followed, listening to him seriously.

This young man is his youngest son, Liu Shaojun. There is an interesting story about this name. When Professor Liu’s eldest daughter was born, he happened to be making silver carp links, so he named her Liu Bai Yin; When the second son was born, he happened to be doing research on grass carp, so he was named Liu Yan, which is the scientific name of grass carp.

When Liu Shaojun was born, his mother couldn't bear to see it anymore, and she resolutely refused to give the child the name Hairtail, so Liu Shaojun came into being. It was such a coincidence that in the end it happened that the child without the name Hairtail inherited his name. Mantle, green out of blue and better than blue.

"Hello, Professor Liu, my name is Li Lei, and I was introduced by Liu Jianjian, a committee member of the Institute of Aquatic Sciences. I have something for you. This is a letter from committee member Liu!" Li Lei stepped forward to introduce himself, and then sent a letter.

"Hello, hello, the road is hard, sit down and rest first, Shaojun, pour water for Xiao Li!" After making arrangements, Professor Liu opened the letter and read it carefully.

"Tea or boiled water?" Liu Shaojun came over with a thermos.

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!" Li Lei was a little embarrassed to ask the future academician to pour water for him, so he quickly grabbed the thermos and poured himself a glass.

"Hey, there are such good things? Hey, it's a pity that my money is tight here, and I really can't afford a computer!" In the letter, Commissioner Liu not only mentioned the feed, but also mentioned software and ultrasonic detectors. The professor was very envious when he saw it, but he is not yet an academician, and the funds he can control are limited, so he can only be envious.

"Professor, what is it?" Liu Shaojun asked curiously. Their family was well-educated, and they were always called by their titles outside.

"A good thing that can help save time! Here, you can read it yourself!" Professor Liu had already read the letter at this time, and handed it to Liu Shaojun.

Then he looked at Li Lei with a smile, "Commissioner Liu said your feed is good, and you want to give it to me for trial?"

"Both you and Commissioner Liu are well-known experts in fish breeding and breeding in China. If my feed can be approved by you two, I will definitely not worry about losing sales in the future! I have brought the feed here this time. Your comments are welcome. !” Li Lei stretched out his hand and pointed out, and the truck pulling the feed was parked outside.

"Let me see!" Professor Liu trotted over, and Xu Zhengyang quickly unloaded a bag of feed for him. After opening, Professor Liu, like Commissioner Liu, first crushed and observed carefully, and then analyzed the ingredients through tasting.

Finally, he readily agreed, "From the composition point of view, there should be no problem, and Commissioner Liu has done experiments, so let's draw a few fish ponds and try it out!"

"Professor Liu? Do you also want to use a computer to speed up the research progress? Then I will give you a computer. As for the software, Committee Member Liu is developing it and it will be available soon. When the time comes, you can ask him to copy a copy." It’s ok! Or I’ll bring it to you when I deliver the feed next time.” Li Lei really didn’t want to see these outstanding agricultural scientific research workers suffer because of funding problems.

"Isn't that good? How can I accept such a heavy gift from you for no reason?" Professor Liu shook his head and refused. Now a computer costs tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, and it's the first time the two have met , Professor Liu was a little uneasy.

After a few words of persuasion, seeing Professor Liu's resolute attitude, Li Lei stopped insisting. He thought that Professor Liu might have some concerns, and worried that it would be difficult to give an objective evaluation of the feed after accepting his things.

Well, let's wait until the trial of the feed is successful, and then there will be no such problems; when the time comes, send the computer with the software installed, and use it in front of the interview of Professor Liu and his son, and wait for them to experience it After the power of computer software, I am afraid that if you refuse, you will not be able to say it, right?

After staying in Star City for a few days, feeding fish, observing, statistics, and analyzing with Professor Liu and his son, Professor Liu and his son's attitude towards him became more and more cordial.

On the one hand, it is because the feed effect brought by Li Lei is really good, fish love to eat and grow fast, which saved them a lot of research time; on the other hand, Li Lei also showed his accumulation in the field of agriculture, many professional You can talk to them about any problem.

There are even many places that can inspire them, such as quantitative genetics, such as molecular biology, and the two future academicians listened with great interest.

Especially Liu Shaojun, he showed a strong interest in molecular biology information, which is a coincidence, he was engaged in fish biomolecular research in France in the future.

"Hey, Xiao Li, it's a pity that you come out and do it yourself. You should go to the research institute to do research work! Do you want to go in? If you want to go in, I will go to the school and tell you that you have the ability and a diploma. Our school welcomes you at any time This kind of talent joins!" Professor Liu couldn't help but love talents.

"I know exactly how much weight I have! Even if I spend my whole life doing research, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach your level!" Li Lei said modestly.

He is very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses. If you let him spend his whole life in research, and take advantage of his foresight, he may be able to become an academician, but at most it is only one field.

But if you start your own company to make money and recruit people to set up a project team, you can make breakthroughs in multiple fields at the same time, and it is not impossible to train several academicians.

Comparing the two, the latter option is naturally better, and doing so can avoid being restrained by others and lead a more comfortable life.

"Dad, the times are different now. Does Brother Li also contribute to the country by running a business?" Liu Shaojun is only a senior this year. Like Li Lei, he is a young man with a more open mind.

Professor Liu is not a pedantic person, he just mentioned something casually when he thought of it, and seeing that Li Lei didn't mean it, he didn't mention it, "That's right, it's already a great contribution for you to produce such good feed Now, if fish farmers all over China can use your feed, how much fish supply will be increased in that year!"

Judging from the situation in the past few days, there should be no major problems with Li Lei's feed, but like the Institute of Aquatics, further experiments are needed to start large-scale promotion.

The process of this experiment was quite long, and it was impossible for Li Lei to stay here all the time, so he left two people here to help Professor Liu, record the data by the way, and he was about to leave.

"Boss, where are we going now? Should we go back to the Central Plains directly, or go shopping in Star City?" Xu Zhengyang asked after getting into the car.

"I've been bored these few days and want to go shopping? Then let's go to the downtown area!" Li Lei asked Xu Zhengyang to drive, and planned to go to the downtown area to buy some souvenirs for his family.

By the way, I wondered, since there are so many academicians in the agricultural field in Hunan, should I visit a few more?See if there are any opportunities for cooperation?
After shopping, Li Lei also thought about it, since he came, he had to go and have a look.
