Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

With the support of LV6 land, it will be fully mature in three months.

at this time.

Longmen Agricultural City Block.

This huge city block does not have any other tall buildings, only low residential bungalows and an experimental base.

The Longmen Seed Research Institute under the Longmen Grain Group is built here.

The 100,000 acres of farmland stretch as far as the eye can see. Even a drone shooting overhead needs to fly very high to barely capture the entire picture of the 100,000 acres of farmland.

Now, the crops in these fields are fully mature. In addition to large areas of rice, there are also a series of other staple crops such as wheat, but rice is the main one.

The sun shines on the endless golden rice ears. With the breeze blowing, the rice ears sway from side to side, like ripples in the golden ocean, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

This harvest ceremony.

Almost all the senior executives and CEOs of large companies in Longmen who could be named came. Even those who did not receive an invitation went there one after another, just to make themselves known among the many important figures.

In addition, there are all members of the Minliang Association and all members of the Longmen Grain Group.

at this time.

Lu Yuan stood on the ridge of the field, in front of the golden rice ears, and everyone present's eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan.

Some admire, some respect, some look forward to...

All kinds of eyes gathered together, making Lu Yuan the only focus of the whole audience.

The front of the crowd.

Shi Huaiya, Lin Yuxia, and An Suo stood there, chatting about this and that, waiting for Lu Yuan to start.

Lu Yuan, who was standing at the front, saw that the time was almost up.

He cleared his throat, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a friendly smile, and said aloud: "Thank you all for taking the time to attend the first harvest ceremony of the agricultural city. I, Lu Yuan, would like to express my gratitude to you all..."

The moment Lu Yuan bowed slightly.

Everyone in the audience immediately applauded, and the entire area was suddenly filled with thunderous applause. Shi Huaiya, who was standing at the front, clapped especially hard, and her white palms turned red from clapping.

She glanced at Lin Yuxia beside her and immediately joked, "Stinky rat, you're not clapping seriously."

Lin Yuxia rolled her eyes at Shi Huaiya and said, "Just do it from the heart. Applauding is just a formality. Not everyone would applaud so foolishly."

“Stinky rat!!”

Shi Huaiya shouted softly, then ignored Lin Yuxia and continued to listen to Lu Yuan's speech.

"Agriculture is vital to any country or region. Whether a country or region can control agriculture is the most typical indicator of whether it can survive independently in the world."

“Thus, agriculture has always been ranked first in almost all countries throughout history…”

Lu Yuan started with his usual sentimental remarks, and then went straight to the topic of this time.

"In addition, I personally plan to use this harvest ceremony as a press conference to introduce my latest crops to you all."

As soon as Lu Yuan said this.

moment.

In such a large venue, almost all the senior executives and capital tycoons of Longmen who were sitting here immediately started to discuss loudly.

No one had expected that Lu Yuan would do such a thing at this harvest ceremony, including Lin Yuxia and others.

Everyone was whispering to each other, telling those around them about their shock.

Wei Yanwu, who came quietly at the end of the crowd, was also extremely surprised at this moment. He looked at the Rat King beside him and said with a smile.

"This kid."

"He always surprises us beyond our expectations. However, given his personality, he certainly wouldn't be willing to make empty promises or present half-finished products. Since he proactively mentioned it, it means he must have cultivated a completely new crop that has never appeared before.

These crops have completely different characteristics from the original crops, and may even represent technological breakthroughs.

The Rat King was particularly satisfied after hearing this. He nodded, and his little rat eyes were always fixed on Lu Yuan.

"Ansuo! Do you know about this?"

Shi Huaiya looked at Ansuo excitedly.

However, An Suo also shook his head: "I don't know either, Shi Yaya, Mr. Lu has never talked about this with me."

An Suo changed the name he used for Shi Huaiya when they went to Dahuang City together. Although they only spent a few days together, the time they spent together successfully brought the friendship between An Suo, Lin Yuxia and Shi Huaiya much closer.

"I didn't expect Xiao Yuan to be buried so deep."

Shi Huaiya smiled, her eyes never left Lu Yuan in front of her, not even for a moment.

"However, since Xiao Yuan is so persistent, maybe he's planning on making something big. Isn't Xiao Yuan planning to go to Ursus soon? Maybe he wants to announce all the results of his research before he leaves?"

"However, this speed is too fast."

Lin Yuxia said.

The cultivation of new crops itself is an annual cycle. Some may take several years, even more than ten years, or even decades without any significant breakthroughs.

But wasn’t it just a few months ago that Lu Yuan last released the [Third Generation Full-Season Multiplied Rice]?

"Hey! You stinky rat, you clearly don't trust Xiao Yuan. If anyone else did this, I'd definitely question their intentions to commit fraud and defraud investors. But that's completely out of the question with Xiao Yuan. If he truly wanted to invest, as soon as he opened his mouth, a whole bunch of people from Longmen would line up to beg him for money."

"Of course I know, I'm just curious."

Lin Yuxia glanced at Shi Huaiya, and then slowly waited for Lu Yuan to speak.

Lu Yuan waited until the discussion on the scene gradually died down before he slowly spoke.

“I am releasing three new premium crops this time.”

"They are [Fourth Generation Full-Season Multiplication Rice], [Third Generation Incremental Wheat], and [Fourth Generation Overlord Potatoes]."

The reason why Lu Yuan announced these three plants is because he has already cultivated higher-level crops from these three plants. Strictly speaking, these three plants are already outdated for Lu Yuan, but they are just right for release.

As soon as these words came out.

Suddenly, the whole audience became noisy.

They never expected that Lu Yuan would announce three plants at once, and one of them was even a full-season multiplying rice.

The only difference is that this time the rice is from the fourth generation, while the previous one was from the third generation.

Of course, there was a lot of discussion, but no one doubted its authenticity, and no one wondered why Lu Yuan was so fast and developed a new variety in just a few months.

after all.

Although the third-generation full-season multiplied rice was just released a few months ago, Lu Yuan never said that the rice was a newly developed product. Instead, it had been developed for a long time and was only decided to be announced a few months ago.

Then it explains.

Since Lu Yuan announced the third generation, the research on the fourth generation may have been completed, and the same goes for the other two crops.

After Lu Yuan's instigation.

Everyone present was immediately itching to try it out. They couldn't wait to know the specific differences between these crops.

"First, let's start with our old friend, the [Fourth Generation All-Season Proliferation Rice]. Its previous characteristics remain unchanged, and it can still adapt to all seasons in ordinary places. It can withstand temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius, and even -21 degrees Celsius can cause freezing to death. So, if you plant it in the future, please keep this in mind."

“Apart from the all-season nature that everyone knows about, the biggest change is production.

"Production has increased from 50 percent in the third generation to 60 percent in the fourth generation today."

The moment Lu Yuan finished the announcement.

In an instant, almost everyone in the entire venue fell silent, especially the specialists from Longmen Grain Group, who widened their eyes and rubbed their ears, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Sixty percent!

The concept is self-evident.

The same acre of land can feed 60 percent more people.

Although looking at the numbers, it seems to be only 10% higher than the third generation.

But you have to know that for agriculture, let alone 10%, even a 1% increase in production is a huge breakthrough.

After all, Colombia has been stuck for many years within the 15% range of increasing production between 20% and %.

Even someone like Teacher Shu.

The highest-yielding rice variety she developed was only about 25 percent higher than the original.

With such a comparison, the sense of difference suddenly becomes apparent.

The shocking effect of Lu Yuan's 10% breakthrough was no less than a world record that had been lying dormant for who knows how many years being broken.

The most excited people were the many experts from Longmen Grain Group. They were so anxious that they were scratching their heads. As for the authenticity, there was no need to verify it. After all, this was what Lu Yuan said, so it must be true.

"In addition to rice, there is also [third-generation incremental wheat]."

"I cultivated this rice purely for its yield. Now in its third generation, the yield per mu is almost 90 percent higher than that of ordinary wheat. However, the taste is slightly lower than that of ordinary wheat."

"The same goes for the [Fourth Generation Overlord Potatoes]. While they don't increase potato production, they further concentrate the potato's internal energy, ensuring each potato has a higher energy supply. Compared to regular potatoes, the energy supply of the Fourth Generation Overlord Potatoes is 60% higher. This is roughly equivalent to eating one and a half potatoes providing the same carbohydrate intake as an ordinary potato. Of course, the taste isn't overpowering either, so keep that in mind."

Lu Yuan finished introducing his other two crops.

The moment I finished speaking.

Opposite him, hundreds of people remained silent, especially the agricultural experts, whose mouths opened wide and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

Originally, they thought that the [third generation of full-season multiplication rice] was outrageous enough, but they didn't expect that only a few months later, three equally heavyweight ones would emerge at once.

If any agriculturist could cultivate even one of these crops in his lifetime, his name would be immortalized and recorded forever in the history of agriculture until the end of civilization.

however.

Lu Yuan listed the lifelong dreams and pursuits of three agricultural experts in one breath.

"this..."

All the agricultural experts present did not move.

On the one hand, they admired and revered him, but on the other hand, they fell into deep self-doubt.

Even some accomplished agricultural experts only had affection in their eyes when facing Lu Yuan.

After all, the achievements they once took pride in were really not as good as any of Lu Yuan and the others.

"Mr. Lu, you are simply Shennong."

An elderly agricultural expert sighed heavily, and then spoke with a tone of great admiration.

"Besides, you're still so young. Old guys like us won't be able to make any significant breakthroughs in global agriculture. You'll lead global agriculture to a very high level in the future."

There was a constant stream of praise from the crowd.

Shi Huaiya said with a grin, "Xiao Yuan is simply the future Shennong!!"

She looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't stop smiling.

"In fact, Xiao Yuan is now Shennong."

Lin Yuxia's mouth corners also rose slightly. She put one hand on her waist and looked at Lu Yuan with slightly curved eyes.

"I have a feeling that Xiao Yuan's dream will come true. Perhaps, in the future, we will truly be able to see a world without hunger, a world where everyone can have enough to eat."

Shi Huaiya said with a smile.

"Of course! Mr. Lu can do it!"

An Suo has great trust in Lu Yuan.

"Yes!! Definitely!!!"

"I will store the original mother plants of these crops in the Longmen Seed Research Institute, which will then mass-produce and cultivate seeds for planting."

Lu Yuan said it quite easily.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the whole audience immediately burst into warm applause, which naturally included Wei Yanwu and the Rat King in the distance. In their eyes, Lu Yuan in the distance seemed like the hope of the world, extremely dazzling and eye-catching.

............

Longmen slum.

The Originium engine of the off-road vehicle made a humming sound.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the car and said his final goodbye.

"Then I'll go first~"
