In the past month, the rice fields of 20 mu of hybrid rice have turned from dark green to golden, with golden leaves and golden ears.The heavy ears of rice bent the seedlings. Walking in the field, you can feel that the rice plants are a little shorter than a month ago.
Hybrid rice was harvested together with 20 mu of conventional rice for comparison.Three days later, the shattered rice was piled up on Shauguping, forming two huge cones, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The heap on the left (hybrid rice) is noticeably larger than the conventional rice on the right!
"click" "click"...
"Is it all finished? Hurry up and take pictures. After taking pictures, we will spread out the rice to dry."
"The difference in output is obvious. I think it's time to write a press release now," said the director of the Anjiang Second Base.
Yuan Longping: "Director Hu, wait a minute, wait a minute. The test field in Sanya, Hainan was calculated last month, and compared with a 17% increase in production, the increase in production in our test field is about 20%. Compared with Sanya, it is only A little bit more, so I want an exact number."
The yield of hybrid rice in Sanya No. 545 Base is 464 kg per mu, compared with 17.4 kg per mu of traditional rice fields, an increase of [-]%.
"Thousand catties of fertile land" has always been a myth and legend among farmers. Since 1950, rice planting areas in the south have collected the experience of old farmers and combined with the scientific research of Soviet agronomy to adjust light, heat, water, fertilizer and soil to the best condition. In areas with fertile soil, rice yields are increasing year by year.
If a paddy field is continuously planted with rice for hundreds of years or even longer, the soil of this paddy field is called "paddy soil", which is a high-quality rice planting soil formed by long-term artificial improvement.
With paddy soil and appropriate amount of chemical fertilizers, in 1958, there was a piece of double-cropping rice in Hunan that produced 965 catties of early rice. In 1959, the output of late rice in a commune in Hubei reached 980 catties. This is the domestic rice production after verification by the National Bureau of Statistics. Yield records of production areas.
The first base in Sanya rushed to 1090 catties...
The hybrid rice base in Sanya was actually opened in 1954 and the first crop of rice was planted in 1955. It has only been six years, and it is not considered the best paddy soil.

Beijing Agricultural University.
After Ding Ying's operation, according to the requirements of Union Medical College Hospital, she will stay in Beijing for a few more months to observe the effect of the operation. If there is a problem with her body, she can be re-hospitalized at any time for adjustment.
In the past few months, Ding Ying has mainly been at the Agricultural University, writing textbooks, writing records of the five-year hybrid rice development process, and sometimes leading graduate students to conduct experiments.
"Old Ding, an email from the Hunan Government Affairs Terminal is a report from the Anjiang base. I've printed it out for you."
Ding Ying took over the report with several pages.
Now if you can find computers on the Internet (Government Network) at both ends, everyone will send emails instead of telegrams—if there are computers at both ends or you can borrow computers, the transmission of information is faster than telegrams, and it saves telegraph fees, so you can use Post a long report or article under psychological pressure.
"Director Ding: The three-line hybrid rice planted in the Anjiang Second Base in 1960 in the early rice cycle has weighed and compared the harvested sun-dried rice yesterday."
"I planted 20 acres of hybrid rice in my base, and harvested 11562 kilograms of dry rice, which is equivalent to 578.1 kilograms per mu. As a comparison, the 20 acres of traditional rice paddy fields were harvested under the same chemical fertilizers, the same soil fertility, and the same light and hot water conditions. 9400 kilograms of dry rice, equivalent to 470 kilograms per mu."
"Hybrid rice yields 23% more than traditional rice."
"The hybrid rice and traditional rice paddies in the base are applied with 10 kilograms of urea and 15 kilograms of ammonium bicarbonate per mu. Humus was supplemented after the harvest of the previous season, and potassium was supplemented with plant ash before farming. The farming process is also the same."
"Hybrid rice has shown differences from traditional rice species at the peak tillering stage. After effective tillering is terminated, hybrid rice produces about 25% more tiller stems than traditional rice."
"Entering the jointing stage in May, the hybrid rice shows the characteristics of being shorter than the traditional rice, and has more effective tillers than the traditional rice. So far, I can conclude that the yield of the hybrid rice will be significantly higher than that of the traditional rice. Well, the harvest weighs just confirm the final conclusions and get precise yield improvement numbers."

"The Hainan base is 17.4%, and the Hunan base is 23%." Ding Ying smiled happily after reading the report, "Did Minister Deng know the news?"
"Understood. Minister Deng Zifei was present when the Hainan and Hunan bases harvested and weighed."
"In this way, a notice is issued to let all the researchers of the Hybrid Rice Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture gather in Beijing to compile and summarize the research of the past few years. The Hybrid Rice Seed Center is about to start construction."

Guangzhou.
73-year-old Bernard Law Montgomery, Field Marshal of the British Army, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and former Deputy Commander of NATO, set foot on Chinese soil.
"Steady, Mr. Montgomery, the hovercraft is about to enter land."
"I remember." Montgomery's hand grabbed the iron ring beside him.
The hovercraft suddenly increased its horsepower, rushed from the shallow water to the beach, and then drove from the beach to the dry ground.During the whole process, except for the moment from the water to the beach, the hovercraft drifted left and right. When the hovercraft was on a flat and hard ground, it was very stable, and Montgomery didn't feel too much bumps and shakes.
About 500 meters into the inland, the hovercraft stopped. This is a guest house of the Guangzhou Military Region.
"Welcome, Mr. Montgomery." Li Tianyou held out his hand.
"Hello, General Lee."
蒙哥马利打量着面前的这位广州军区司令员。李天佑今年46岁，军龄32年，1955年授予上将军衔的时候41岁。41岁……蒙哥马利41岁的时候刚刚被晋升为中校，任帝国参谋部的参谋长助理。
After a brief conversation with Li Tianyou, Li Tianyou said goodbye, and Montgomery would rest here overnight.
"Tomorrow morning, your box will be loaded on the passenger train from Guangzhou to Beijing. From now on, the Guangzhou Military Region is responsible for your safety. I will return to Hong Kong tonight. I wish you a pleasant journey in China."
Montgomery: "Thank you, Mr. Chinese Agent."
Pan Hannian was speechless for a moment.
"Here, I am the deputy director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. I won't say much, goodbye."

In 1958, British meteorologist James Stagg experienced a wonderful trip in China.
In China, he witnessed the world's first use of computer calculations for medium and long-term weather forecasts, and he himself helped China improve its weather forecast algorithms, becoming a very popular "foreign friend" in China, and even met the president of China.
When Stagg came back from China, Montgomery came up to meet him.After listening to Stagg's description of the Chinese president, Montgomery became more interested in China.
In 1958, Montgomery retired from the position of deputy commander in chief of NATO.From the day he retired, he found that his field of vision suddenly broadened: now he does not need to look at issues from the perspective of the interests of the United Kingdom or NATO, but can stand at a higher height and examine the military and strategy of the world.
When Montgomery looked at the current world pattern as an "outsider", he felt more and more the importance of China in it.This country with a population of more than 6 million has become a quiet builder after the Korean War and the Taiwan War. It seems that the US-Soviet Cold War and local wars in the world have nothing to do with China.
It's just that there are countless legends about the Chinese army circulating in the rivers and lakes.
Montgomery contacted China through various channels and applied for a private visit to China. At the end of 59, the Chinese side and Montgomery generally confirmed that in the first half of 1960, he visited China in a private capacity.
However, the military confrontation between China and India turned into a short local war. When the war was about to come to an end, China conducted a nuclear test, which forced Montgomery to postpone his trip a little so that he could review the Sino-Indian war in detail before coming to China. and study.
"The city we just passed is Zhengzhou, and this is the newly built Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge."
"I heard that two years ago, the embankment of the Yellow River was on the verge of bursting. Your chairman came to the front line in person and set up his own headquarters below the water level of the Yellow River. He didn't leave until the flood peak passed?"
Montgomery asked.
"Yes. The chairman's position at that time is not far ahead, and the train will arrive there in about 10 minutes," said the accompanying military staff officer. "It is a rural station platform on the Beijing-Guangzhou line. It has been protected now. Arise, as a place of revolutionary history education."
Montgomery pointed out the window: "Hey! What's this?"
Just after crossing the Yellow River, a stone tablet several meters high appeared outside the car window. On the stone tablet were four big characters written by the Chairman: Man will conquer the sky.
