Chapter 1320: Yuan Lao Said He Was Still Young

What Shen Long took out was a small paper bag. Opening the paper bag revealed a few rice seeds. Mr. Yuan had traveled all over the country and abroad over the years, but he had never seen any kind of rice seeds, but what Shen Long took out was different from what he had seen before. What he saw was very different, he quickly recalled it in his mind, convinced that this kind of rice seed was something he had never seen before, and immediately became excited.

"Little Lei, where did you get these rice seeds?" For Yuan Lao, these rice seeds are more precious than gold, because the projects he is researching most need all kinds of rare rice seeds.

In 1970, by an inevitable coincidence, Mr. Yuan discovered a natural aborted strain of wild rice in Hainan Island, and then succeeded; later research proved that the natural aborted strain of wild rice was a cytoplasmic gene The infertility caused by the interaction with the nuclear gene is really miraculous.

It is equivalent to stepping through the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, and it took a lot of effort; the earliest hybrid rice miraculously used this interaction between the nucleus and cytoplasmic fertility genes.

In 1973, a new rice material was discovered in our country. This kind of rice is normally strong at low temperature and becomes sterile at high temperature. Using this characteristic, seeds can be propagated at low temperature and hybrid rice seeds can be produced at high temperature, thereby Improve the original three lines into two lines.

There are also differences in genes between wild rice and cultivated rice. Each species is a unique gene pool. Two rice varieties that have certain differences in genetics and can complement each other with their excellent traits are selected for hybridization, and the production has heterosis. The first generation of hybrids is hybrid rice.

It can be said that Yuan Lao's research is absolutely inseparable from various rice varieties with different traits. Now that he has discovered a rice variety that has never been seen before, can Yuan Lao not be excited?

"It grew in the wasteland of our Xiaolei's house. I found it strange, so I looked for some information, but I didn't find any similar rice seeds, so I found you here, and I want you to Please give me some pointers and see if this kind of rice seed has research value!" In fact, these rice seeds were brought over by Shen Long from other worlds, and he brought back Shire's tobacco in the world of "Lord of the Rings". There are seeds of other crops in Middle-earth, such as rice, wheat, corn and so on.

These things are also a huge fortune. Except for tobacco, other things have not been found at the right time to take out. Now that I have the opportunity to meet Yuan Lao, these things will definitely play a huge role in helping Xiaolei's family soon. The establishment of the Seed Research Institute laid a solid foundation.

"Of course there is research value. You should have the same rice seeds there, right? If there are, I will use them for experiments and testing." Yuan Lao said impatiently.

"Yes, yes, I have planted a portion of this kind of rice in my private plot, and it is growing well, enough for you to do research." Shen Long said quickly, while clenching his fists secretly, it seems that he made the right move, Xiao There is hope for the Lei Family's Thoroughbred Research Institute.

"That's good, that's good, you sit down first, I'll take these for testing." Yuan Lao carefully took the rice seeds out of the office, hurried to the laboratory, and began to give these precious rice seeds with the help of his staff. Rice seeds were tested.

While waiting for the results, Mr. Yuan returned to the office and began to inquire about the characteristics of Shen Long's rice in detail, "Xiao Lei, how tall are these rice plants? How many grains are each ear? Is the degree the same as the ones you brought? Have you encountered various diseases and insect pests during the planting process..."

"Old Yuan,

Slow down, you talk too much, I can't remember at once, let's ask one question at a time, shall we? "Old Yuan's rigorous attitude towards scientific research is really worth learning from.

"Oh, I'm in a hurry, you don't know what a brand new rice variety means to the research of hybrid rice; listen to you, let's take our time, you answer my first question first, this kind of What is the height of the rice plants?" Yuan Lao took out his notebook and prepared to record in detail.

"Oh, by the way, don't call me Mr. Yuan, I'm still young!" Mr. Yuan said suddenly. It seemed that he was a little dissatisfied with Shen Long calling himself Mr. Yuan. I am still young and can do many years of research. , You call me Yuan Lao, but call me old.

"Yes, yes, you are quite young!" Oh, I almost forgot about it. In Shen Long's impression, Mr. Yuan was always in his 80s and 90s, but he was still a hale and hearty old man. I realized that Mr. Yuan is only in his fifties now, and he is in the most vigorous period of research energy.

After apologizing, Shen Long seriously answered every question Yuan Lao asked. Occasionally, when he couldn't say anything, he would show Yuan Lao the photos he took. As a testimony, Mr. Yuan is 80% sure that this kind of rice seed has never been seen before.

"Look at the details of the shape of the rice leaves, and then look at the growth characteristics of the plants...it is different from all the rice varieties I have seen...I really want to visit your place!" Yuan Lao looked at the rice plants in the photo , It's like seeing some kind of rare treasure.

Not long after, the laboratory test results came out, and all kinds of data confirmed Mr. Yuan's conjecture that this was a brand new rice species that had never been discovered before.

"Xiao Lei, when is it convenient to go to your place? I'll take someone over to have a look right away!" Now Mr. Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, and was going to follow Shen Long to Xiao Lei's house that day.

"Old Yuan... oh no, Researcher Yuan, it's too late today, I'm afraid the train tickets are gone long ago, please wait and get your things ready, can I buy the tickets now?" Shen Long He used the phone number of the research institute to call a representative of the railway department he met during the meeting in the capital, got a few soft sleeper tickets from him, and then took Yuan Lao and his disciple Li Bihu and others to Xiaolei Home.

"Are you really a rural area here?" After arriving at Xiaolei's house, seeing the neat single-family houses, tidy streets, modern schools, villagers' well-dressed clothes, and the feed factory with vehicles passing in and out, Yuan Yuan The old people were stunned. Apart from being a little smaller, this place is more prosperous than ordinary county towns.

I have long heard that Xiaolei's family is rich, but I never thought they could be so rich. Mr. Yuan took a deep look at Shen Long. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that they want to set up a family. It's not impossible for the Seed Research Institute, at least there won't be too many problems in terms of financial resources, right?
