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

The last thought in my heart also completely dissipated.

After a week of rectification, the two gangs gradually stabilized.

The daily study work gradually began and patrols were arranged.

As for the ordinary people, they had white porridge and white rice every day this week. They had never eaten such delicious staple food in all these years. They were all very happy with the meal, and some even knelt down to express their gratitude to Lu Yuan for his great kindness.

No gangsters harassing me, and I can eat my fill every day. What a heavenly life!

at the same time.

During the reorganization of blocks 76 and 75, Lu Yuan also gave his first speech as a consultant at Longmen Grain Group.

Sitting in the audience were quite a few top agricultural graduates recently recruited by the group, as well as some veteran farmers with previous farming experience.

On the podium, Lu Yuan stood up with a faint smile on his face. Under the gaze of hundreds of people below, he slowly walked to the side of the projection screen.

"Come on down~ Let me introduce to you a brand new type of rice I've cultivated in recent years. I named it..."

"Three-generation full-season rice"

Volume 1: Chapter 66 I’m Just a Farmer & Jessica: “Water Dragon! So Big!”

The third generation of full-season multiplied rice, when this slightly difficult to pronounce and never-heard-of rice variety appeared on the projector screen and came out of Lu Yuan's mouth.

In the huge conference hall, many agricultural college graduates from various universities and colleges, as well as a group of agricultural experts with impressive work experience, were stunned.

The conference hall with hundreds of people fell silent at this moment.

No one spoke, everyone was thinking.

Originally, these college students who graduated from prestigious universities like Longmen University, and experts with many years of work experience were more or less confused and even a little contemptuous when they saw that the person who came to give the lecture was a man who looked to be in his early twenties.

After all, in agriculture, experience is more important than talent.

No matter how talented you are or how smart you are, you will never achieve anything by just reading knowledge from books without spending ten or even dozens of years working in the fields or doing scientific research.

At this time, an old man in the audience, whose hair was mostly white and whose head was severely bald, slowly raised his hand.

He did not show any arrogance as an elder or an agricultural person with decades of farming and research experience, but asked calmly.

"Excuse me, Consultant Lu, how is this new type of rice you've cultivated different from the ones we normally grow?"

Lu Yuan clapped his hands, then pressed the remote control in his hand to control the projector to switch PPT, and then spoke while switching.

“The specific difference is in its name.”

“First, all-season”

"This type of rice can be planted in any season. Based on a four-month maturity cycle, this allows for three plantings per year. Compared to traditional rice, this is a full planting cycle. I think you should all be clear about what this extra planting cycle means."

The moment Lu Yuan finished speaking.

The audience was in an uproar.

Everyone's eyes widened, some couldn't believe it.

Rice all season long!!

What does it mean to have one more season than ordinary rice? This means that even if the yield does not change, the total annual output is already 50% higher than that of ordinary rice!

In other words.

One acre of rice field can feed 50 percent more people than ordinary rice!

Oh my God, this is a major breakthrough in agricultural technology!

There were several top students present who graduated from Columbia University with a degree in agriculture, and each of them was equally incredible.

Such a major technological breakthrough should have been reported in various newspapers and magazines, and on the headlines of science and technology monthly reports. In theory, there should have been a white-bearded and knowledgeable old man discussing his research in detail at the press conference.

Explain to everyone my efforts over the years to achieve breakthroughs in agricultural cultivation technology.

This style of painting is in line with people's expectations.

how...

It is clearly a major breakthrough in the field of agricultural technology, but when it comes from the mouth of a relatively young person, it is said lightly, as if it is extremely simple.

It's hard to really believe.

"Counselor Lu, do you have any practical questions..."

A young man was about to ask Lu Yuan if he had any actual cases.

However, Lu Yuan did not wait for the other party to finish speaking and directly switched to the next PPT screen.

"Since winter has not yet arrived this year, there are no parameters for actual weather conditions, but I have conducted simulation experiments on this new rice variety in a specialized weather simulation cultivation laboratory."

"The following is a real picture of my experiment."

Lu Yuan opened a video.

Then I saw dozens of rice seedlings being quietly planted in a laboratory. If you just look at the appearance, these rice seedlings are really not much different from ordinary rice seedlings.

It cannot be said to be different, it can only be said to be exactly the same, without much difference.

The experimental footage gradually accelerated.

The temperature in the laboratory simulated the average atmospheric drop in Longmen during the winter in previous years, and on this basis, blizzard and strong wind weather was also simulated, and the sky was filled with sunlight simulated by special fluorescent lamps.

soon.

The temperature of the entire laboratory dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius.

This problem can be said to be the winter temperature limit for most of the central countries in Terra, except for Ursus, Sami and other countries in the north.

The images in the experiment have been fast-forwarded, with mechanical equipment watering and fertilizing on time, ample sunlight exposure, and even a simulation of a snowstorm.

A cold day with strong winds and severe chill.

Any normal rice seedling cannot grow in such weather.

suddenly.

A voice of disbelief rang out in the huge conference hall.

"It's growing!! It's growing!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge storm, with a stone causing a thousand waves.

To the shock of almost everyone, these rice seedlings actually grew normally in such simulated weather. Some people even took out their mobile phones and kept recording the video in the PPT.

Lu Yuan did not stop these people's actions.

soon.

The video was interrupted, and everyone present was still a little unsatisfied.

"Originally, I wasn't planning to announce my cultivation results so soon. In my opinion, the third generation of rice I cultivated isn't perfect yet. However, our Longmen Governor, Commander Wei, personally invited me to join the Longmen Grain Group as a consultant. After personally visiting my rice fields, he hopes that I can promote and grow this type of rice in Longmen."

"This simulation experiment was conducted in a specialized laboratory in preparation for my explanation today. Therefore, I cannot record all of it. Please forgive me. The seedlings are still being grown in the laboratory, which is located in Longmen Grain Group's No. 1 Weather Laboratory. You can visit it on your own if you have time."

After hearing what Lu Yuan said.

Everyone present started chattering, wishing they could go to Laboratory No. 1 and witness it with their own eyes.

at this time.

Lu Yuan's voice silenced the noise and chattering in the room again.

"Next, this is the second difference between the third-generation full-season multiplication rice and conventional rice."

“It’s a much larger volume.”

"!!!"

When the three words "large output" were spoken, everyone held their breath, remained silent, stared at Lu Yuan with wide eyes.

"Advisor Lu!"

At this time, the respected agricultural elder who had just spoken spoke respectfully.

“How much is the output?”

This was the biggest number he could come up with.

You know, if it were so easy to break through the yield problem, then all kinds of high-yield rice would have been available long ago. It is precisely because it is really difficult to break through the problem that it has been delayed again and again.

Today, the world's highest-yielding rice has a yield that is about 15 percent higher than that of ordinary rice.

Back then, when this 15 percent appeared, the entire agricultural industry was shocked.

The arable land in Terra is already scarce, and expanding the planting area is almost catastrophic. Even if all the arable land is used to grow staple food, it is still impossible to feed many people.

Therefore, fundamentally, hunger among some people is inevitable.

Plus.

In many countries, capital interests are above all else. How can capital allow precious farmland to be used to grow staple food that cannot be sold at a high price? This will further reduce the area where staple food is grown.

Therefore, if we want to increase the total output, we can only find ways to increase the average yield per mu.

The old farmer's heart was already pounding.

He was already waiting for Lu Yuan to say the number 20 percent, which would be enough to shock the agricultural industry.

However, Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

He clicked on the remote control and the PPT switched to the next one.

"The average yield per mu will increase by approximately..."

“About 50 percent!”

what! ! !

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was filled with clapping of the tables and exclamations. The elderly farmer's legs went weak, and fortunately the people next to him helped him in time, otherwise he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"How many?!!"

"50 percent."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "The following is a video of the harvest from my own fields."

"I have 10,000 mu of land, all planted with this type of rice. During the harvest, Longmen's Chief Chen, Chief Shi Huaiya, Chief Xingxiong, Chief Wei, and even Ms. Lin from the Longmen Business Association were all present. We all witnessed the bumper harvest of these 10,000 mu of rice."

"It depends on the weight."

"The total rice yield from these ten thousand mu (approximately 10,000 mu) has reached a staggering 7.7 million kilograms, or approximately 7,700 tons! This is enough to theoretically feed more than 100,000 people!"

These few simple numbers were like a bolt from the blue, like a giant hammer falling from the sky, smashing heavily into the hearts of everyone present.

Take away the young master!!

Seven hundred seven hundred tons!!

Ten thousand acres!!!

Some older specially hired agricultural experts even excitedly took out medicine from their pockets and swallowed it with trembling hands.

"Advisor Lu!!"

Many agricultural experts stood up respectfully, their attitudes showing less suspicion and contempt and more respect.

"Can we visit your fields?"

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Of course you can, but the harvest has already begun. You've come at a bad time, but that's okay. Let the land rest for a while, and I'll continue sowing the next round. It's October now, and winter isn't far away. You can also observe the rice growing process in real winter."

"Good! Good! Good!!"

"Advisor Lu is truly a talent!"

"The next Columbia Technology Award will definitely go to Consultant Lu."

"Advisor Lu is truly Shennong. How many lives can be saved by this rice of yours? Such a great fortune is worthy of being named a Great Sage."

There was constant praise and compliments off the court.

Hundreds of young agricultural graduates sitting in the back looked at Lu Yuan in admiration.

"I don't dare to call myself Shennong or a saint."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "I'm just an ordinary farmer, not Shennong at all."
