A doctor who travels through two eras

April 1960, Tanggukou, Tianjin.

Lin Sanqi stood on the beach, looking at the port that was being expanded and felt a little strange. The national economy was about to collapse, so how could there be money for infrastructure construction?

At this time, several militiamen came over and saw Lin Sanqi, who looked cunning, and shouted:
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you staring at our port?"

At that time, the military port and the civilian port were combined, just like the military and civilian airports of later generations. Lin Sanqi's act of staring at the port and watching the excitement was like a spy following him in the eyes of the militia.

Lin Sanqi was not annoyed. This was someone else's job, so he had to cooperate. He was not the big brother from Tangshan next door, who could start a fight with you just by saying "look at me".

"It's a misunderstanding. I'm a purchaser for the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is my work permit. I came to the port to receive a batch of supplies. I've never seen the sea before, so I wanted to take a look."

The leading militiaman carefully checked Lin Sanqi's work permit, then looked at the jeep behind him, and his attitude immediately became friendly.

"It's Comrade Lin. Hello, you want to see the sea. What is there to see in Tanggukou? You should go to Beidaihe. The water and beach there are good and suitable for sightseeing."

Lin Sanqi sprinkled a circle of cigarettes on everyone present, then said with a smile:

"We are all doing revolutionary work, how can we have time to travel? By the way, why is your Tianjin Port still expanding at this time? I remember that our country doesn't have that much import and export trade, right?"

Now that we have lost all the foreign exchange, where will we get the money to import?

(Lin Sanqi later found out from research that the Maple Leaf Country gave my country more than 300 million US dollars of wheat on credit at that time. Unfortunately, much of the grain was taken away by those hungry little brothers, such as Albany, before it arrived at the port.)
Men become brothers when they smoke:
"Hey, you comrades in the capital don't know this. The main reason is that our country's food supply has been tight in recent years. We need to increase food imports, but the current port berths are insufficient and cannot be operated at night, so we need to expand."

"Oh, I see……"

In fact, in the past three years, in addition to constant natural disasters, our country has also been constantly sucked blood by polar bears, causing extreme food shortages.

But a living person cannot be allowed to die from holding his urine, so the country tried every means to import food from Southeast Asia or other friendly countries in order to alleviate the famine.

However, due to the lack of foreign exchange, we were unable to purchase directly with US dollars or British pounds, so we could only purchase through barter, exchanging our domestic minerals and other resources for food. However, the small number of ports and docks became a constraint.

It was under the circumstances of extreme shortage of material supply that Tianjin Port started its second port expansion project.

People in later generations simply cannot understand how the country and people of this period managed to persevere. The degree of difficulty was beyond everyone's imagination.

Lin Sanqi is just an ordinary citizen. Although he has the golden finger of time travel, he can only do his best.

After bidding farewell to the militia, Lin Sanqi drove a small jeep to the warehouse area at the dock. There were already several Jiefang trucks parked in front of the warehouse, and Dean Liu was circling anxiously.

This warehouse belongs to the military system and was specially approved for Lin Sanqi to use. The key to the warehouse is kept by Lin Sanqi alone.

Lin Sanqi had no choice but to take this warehouse. After all, there was so much grain, and more grain might need to be transmitted from 2023. It was not a good idea to always have it in the capital area.

So in order to avoid trouble, Lin Sanqi asked for a warehouse in the port. There were a lot of ships coming and going here, and a large amount of supplies filled the port, which made it convenient for him to fish in troubled waters and give the other party a reasonable excuse.

When Dean Liu Shengli saw Lin Sanqi walking towards him, he felt relieved.

"Comrade Xiaolin, you kept me waiting for so long."

When Lin Sanqi saw the boss coming, he quickly got out of the car and ran over to shake hands:

"Dean Liu, I actually came a long time ago, but because you guys didn't arrive, I went to the beach for a walk."

When Liu Shengli heard this explanation, the slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. The smile on his face became more sincere and he waved at his subordinates.

The men brought over a box.

"Comrade Xiaolin, here, this box contains a full set of second lieutenant uniforms. This is your work permit. I'm giving it to you now. You will be the deputy chief of the purchasing department of our digital hospital in the future. We are a family, so we can't have different opinions."

Lin Sanqi was overjoyed when he heard this and took the red book with both hands.

With this certificate, Lin Sanqi can almost walk around the country as he pleases. After all, the local public security department has no right to control him.

Since the other party has fulfilled his promise, Lin Sanqi is not stingy:

"President Liu, don't worry. From now on, the affairs of the Digital Hospital will be my, Lin Sanqi's, business. I will devote myself to it until my death."

Dean Liu laughed and patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder:

"Okay, okay, our country and our digital hospital need talents like you. How about food..."

Lin Sanqi held up two fingers: "100 tons of rice, 100 tons of wheat flour, all in there."

"flour and rice?"

"It's definitely this year's new grain!" "Hahaha, good boy, you're amazing. There's some for everyone. Use it to pack our fine grains. We'll have plenty of white flour, steamed buns and rice tonight."

Dean Liu shouted to his staff, and everyone was excited:

"Really?"

"Dean, you can't lie to us?"

"Oh my god, I haven't eaten steamed buns for more than a year!"

Lin Sanqi was in a very good mood when he saw everyone so excited. When he opened the door of the warehouse and saw the bags of grain piled up in a mess, everyone rushed in.

Why is it piled up in a mess?

Because Lin Sanqi uses a leather conveyor belt to transport grain, the grain passes through the "channel space" from 2023 and appears directly on the conveyor belt in 1960.

It was good enough that the food could be transported here. It was obviously impossible to ask Lin Sanqi to stack them up bag by bag.

Dean Liu ran to the grain, opened a sack, and white rice flowed out like water, which immediately caused another burst of exclamations.

"Good rice, it's good rice, this is all fresh rice, Xiaolin, you are really good, haha."

"Dean, look, this is flour. Wow, it's so white. There's no cornmeal mixed in it. It's pure flour."

Hearing some employees exclaiming, Director Liu hurried over to check. For a moment, the little old man was flying around in the warehouse like a butterfly, extremely excited.

"Everyone, hurry up and load the food onto the truck. Move quickly and try to provide extra meals for all the staff in the hospital tonight!"

"Yes!"

"Dean, don't worry!"

Looking at the busy loading scene, Lin Sanqi quietly pulled Dean Liu to a few wooden boxes in the corner.

"President Liu, I also got some scientific research materials, which I am giving to the country for free. Please help me pass them on to the higher authorities and make sure to study them carefully!"

Dean Liu saw that Lin Sanqi was serious and he also stopped smiling.

"Comrade Xiaolin, what kind of information is this? Is it sensitive?"

As a soldier, all he thinks about is weapons and military industry. If it is something in this area, it must be extremely sensitive and he is not qualified to open it and take a look.

But Lin Sanqi obviously won't touch military industry. Whoever touches this thing will die. He will definitely be sent to Lop Nur by the relevant departments. Then how can he monetize the traffic?

Besides, he has no chance of getting in touch with weapons in 2023. He is just an ordinary young billionaire.

"It's like this, President Liu. I wonder if you have heard that developed countries have very high grain yields? If our country's average yield per mu is 100 kilograms, then the average yield per mu in developed countries is definitely over 1000 kilograms, which is more than ten times ours."

Dean Liu nodded, but did not express his opinion. Instead, he motioned Lin Sanqi to continue:
"We only know that the high grain yields abroad are due to mechanized farming and the use of large amounts of fertilizers. In fact, one of the main reasons for their high yields is that their grain seeds are different from ours."

Dean Liu suddenly became interested and asked:
"Food is just rice, wheat, corn, etc., grown from seeds. How else can it be different?"

"No, what is used overseas is hybrid seed technology. The so-called hybrid seed is natural or artificial pollination between two different strains of the same species, mainly through the combination of genetic advantages to increase seed yield and quality."

Dean Liu thought for a while and expressed his understanding of hybrids:

"Can I understand it this way? For example, it's like finding a healthy, handsome, 180cm tall guy and a healthy, beautiful and generous girl, two excellent people to combine with each other.

We want to make the baby born better and stronger through this powerful combination, is that right?"

Lin Sanqi thought to himself that this Dean Liu was indeed a high-level intellectual and it was not tiring to talk to him.

"Yes, you can understand it that way. I don't really understand the details, but the grains in developed countries are hybrid seeds bred by combining the best of the best, so their grain yields are very high and can feed more people."

Dean Liu's expression began to change at this time, and became more serious:

"Comrade Lin Sanqi, do you mean that all the contents of this box are food hybridization technologies?"

Lin Sanqi also nodded solemnly:
"Yes, it contains information on the hybridization of 18 varieties of grains, including rice, corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other staple foods, as well as information on the hybridization of fruits and vegetables. If our scientists can fully understand this technology, our country's grain production can be multiplied several times."

Dean Liu was silent. What he was thinking was, can he trust Lin Sanqi? (End of this chapter)
