The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 462 Preparing to Build a Laboratory

These students have studied at the Provincial Agricultural University and conducted planting experiments in experimental fields, but their current focus is on improving seeds.

If you want to increase the yield of a certain crop, you have to improve the seeds.

What they learned in that small experimental field was just basic planting experience, and they only planted according to the seasons. For example, what to plant in spring and what to plant in autumn, and they could only plant seasonal things.

Here, they were amazed. There were vegetables in spring, fruits in summer, and seedlings in autumn.

Farmers have a strong sense of seasonality, but here, their sense of seasonality is disrupted.

All the students who came were a little shocked. They didn't expect that the outside world was desolate, and only this village was still green.

Lu Tianxing and Hu Yanhong told everyone about the planting and export of vegetables here. When they heard that the vegetables grown here were needed to ensure the supply of vegetables in several places, they were a little bit unbelievable.

To ensure that these vegetables, which take several months to mature, can be picked every day, many methods have to be used to calculate the amount to sow.

Moreover, when they look at the planting records in each greenhouse, the results are completely different from what Captain Liu and his team see.

They are professionals, and when they look at these records, they know the benefits of them.

"Look, this is a really good way to record, and it even has pictures on the side."

"Well, I just saw the records of a studio over there. They record everything that is done in the studio every day. This kind of record is very detailed."

"The crops grown in our previous experimental fields were not good because we couldn't cross the seasons there."

"We have to do a good experiment here. The data from this kind of experiment is hard to come by. I heard that the data for Mr. Zhu's new book came from here?"

"Ah? Really? How did you know?"

"One day I went into my tutor's office and heard them talking to Mr. Zhu. He was just not feeling well, otherwise he would have come today."

After seeing the planting conditions here, everyone's enthusiasm increased more than a little.

They feel that only by studying here can they truly combine practice with theory.

Not only them, Liang Xinyue took Ye Chu to see the Chinese medicinal herbs she had grown, and also made a list for Ye Chu on the spot:

"Director Ye, these herbs are very suitable for planting here. Please contact other provinces and cities to see if you can get some seeds. If there are no seeds, I can breed the best plants myself. If not in one year, we can try in two years. We must change this poor place."

Ye Chu nodded and said:

"But will the people accept it? The people want to grow food from the land. Will they grow these?"

Indeed, agricultural research in the past two years may have fallen into a vicious circle.

Farmers want to harvest more food, but agricultural experiments want to introduce a new seed every year. Most farmers are unwilling to accept it because if they don’t, the food they grow will not be enough to eat.

If we ask him to change the planting method, he is afraid that there will be nothing after planting for a few months.

Today's farmers are starving and stuck in this conservative line.

Liang Xinyue was not worried about this:

"Look here, we don't grow crops, we only grow vegetables, and we still have enough food for everyone."

"The education method passed down by our ancestors is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The same is true for farming. We need to plant according to the local conditions."

"Fat land is suitable for planting what, poor land is suitable for planting what. Plant whatever is suitable, and there will be no problems."

"Our area is really not suitable for growing crops. The yield is really low, so we grow crops with high yields and sell them to units and individuals in need. Then we use the money to buy food."

"The land in the south is good for growing grains, so they can get two or even three crops a year. But they still need these Chinese medicinal herbs. Their land is good, so they specialize in growing grains, and ours specializes in growing medicinal herbs. Each takes what they need. Isn't that different?"

Ye Chu nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll take this order first. When I get back, I'll give it to people in other provinces and cities to see if they can find some seeds. But I still hope that you can breed the seeds yourself."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"Oh, by the way, I have an idea. I want to build a laboratory here to study the breeding of these Chinese medicinal herbs and what can be grown in this desolate place."

Ye Chu smiled and said:

"We have the same idea. To be honest, it was Elder Zhu who suggested building a laboratory for you here. It's inconvenient to travel here, and with you here, this place can be used as an experimental base."

When Liang Xinyue heard that everyone had this idea, she was naturally very happy:

"That's fine. We have the place, and we will take care of the building. But for the experimental equipment, we still need your support."

Ye Chu smiled and said:

"You don't have to worry about that. We will build the house, and the money will be paid by our research institute and the Agricultural University. In this way, all graduates from the Agricultural University will come here for internship in the future."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"That's fine, but if we want to do the experiment, I can't be the only one. After all, the students are still learning. I wonder if we should have two researchers? It would be even better if there were a couple."

Ye Chu laughed and said:

"Well, I really need to go back and look for it. I don't know if those people will come."

Indeed, compared to life in the city, this small county town, no, if it were built here, it would still be just the countryside.

The matter of building a laboratory in this rural area was put on the agenda.

After the men's and women's teams had finished touring the planting conditions here, they lined up at the place where they got off the bus. The spirits of these people were immediately lifted.

Because they all see here the place where they can realize their ideals.

After Xiao Wei organized the team, he came over and called Liang Xinyue and Director Ye. Director Ye said to these young students:

"You see, this is the beginning of hope for planting in this desolate place. I hope that you can learn real skills here under the guidance of Teacher Liang. By the way, let me introduce you to Comrade Liang Xinyue, who is a researcher at our Provincial Department of Agriculture, the deputy director of this county's Agricultural Bureau, and a teacher at your Provincial Agricultural University."

"In the future, all of your graduating students will have to come here for internship. Moreover, we will hopefully build a seed research laboratory here. So, students, this is your hope, your goal!"
