As the second person from the Han Dynasty to be honored again besides the emperor, Zhao Guo was tending the crops in the experimental fields of Shanglin Garden.

Liu Che allocated a large space for him in his Shanglin Garden, and also asked him to select the people in Shanglin Garden.

Zhao Guo, who has been to Tianmu, has the lucky halo bonus of Tianmu certification, and what he wants to do is to try to cultivate high-yielding crops, so when it comes to selecting people, the farmers in Shanglin Garden are all willing to be chosen by him.

In this era where not being hungry is a great blessing, everyone has high hopes for what Zhao Guo will do.

Now is the season for sowing. Zhao Guo has planted different types of grains that they commonly eat in different fields. He is also planning to try to record the growth data of different crops on the same land. There are plans for this later. Cross-breeding existing crops.

His Majesty has also sent people to look for rice in the south. When he gets it, he will start trying to cultivate rice in experimental fields.

Lucky enough to be on the list again, he thought for a while and asked curiously: "Excuse me, host, what is corn?"

It sounds like rice of extremely high quality, but it is not something simple that can be selected into the anchor test paper.

[Xiao Xiao remembered that there was something in the refrigerator. He stood up and went to the kitchen with a stick. He took out a green fresh fruit corn from the refrigerator, and another corn that had been dialed and yellowed and vacuum-packed, and placed it on the table.

"Corn is this, also called maize, a food crop native to the Americas. It likes temperature, light, and humidity. It grows very quickly under high temperature, high humidity, and high light conditions, and it doesn't pick much on the land."

Xiao Xiao peeled off the green leaves of the fruit corn, cleaned off the corn ears, and picked out a tender corn with his fingernails. The difference between the light yellow fresh corn and the yellow corn variety next to it is very obvious.

“These are its seeds and fruits, which can be eaten boiled, roasted, fried, dried, and ground into powder to make various cakes and cakes. It can also be used to extract oil and make feed. Corn cobs and poles can also be used as food. Can make fire.”]

It can be eaten, extracted for oil, and can be dried and ground into powder for long-term storage. The most important thing is not to pick the land!

I originally thought that this corn was high-quality polished rice, but after seeing the two yellow cobs, the ancients who were a little disappointed instantly became energetic. They all stared at the two corn cobs in the anchor's hands, wishing to reach out and take them from the sky.

The person who still had the map on the anchor's globe quickly found the Americas that the anchor mentioned, including South America and North America. It was really far, but going there for a piece of corn made them wonder if it was worth it as they didn’t know much about corn.

Zhu Di, who had originally planned to arrange for Sanbao to go out next year, had no worries. He had already circled the Americas and asked Sanbao to go there and see if he could bring back corn.

Corn was introduced to China in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Among so many live-streaming dynasties, only people in the Kangxi period knew about it and were eating it.

Many people in the Qing Dynasty who were eating corn noodle porridge or chewing dry corn buns in winter were also stunned. They looked at the two corns in the anchor's hand on the sky screen and fell into deep thought.

"Our corn seems not as big as the anchor's hand, and the corn kernels are not as plump and firm..."

Some people reacted that if rice can be bred into such a high-yielding variety by future generations, then corn must also be bred.

"But oil extraction...how to extract oil from corn?"

"Can it be extracted like beans and sesame seeds?"

["Although our wheat and rice yields are very high now, corn is the largest food crop in our country. It is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and barren. In places where wheat and rice cannot be grown, corn can be grown, and it can make Sugar is used to make alcohol and is also an important source of feed in our livestock industry."

Holding a piece of corn in each hand, he held it up for them to see.

"In the past, the yield of corn per acre was several hundred kilograms. Now, one acre of land generally produces 1400 kilograms of corn, excluding the corn cobs underneath. The two corns I have are both improved varieties, which are very different from the old corns in the past.

The light yellow fruit corn on the left is very sweet and has enough water content. It is delicious when boiled or stewed into soup; the golden yellow waxy corn on the right has a higher starch content, makes you more filling, and has a soft texture. Soft and glutinous, a bit sticky to the teeth. "

She thought for a while, cut open the vacuum packaging of the waxy corn, picked out a corn, and crushed two corns of different varieties in her hands. The juice of the fruit corn burst out instantly, but there was not much water in the sticky corn, like It was like soft boiled rice noodles spread out on her fingertips. 】

The staple grain, which has a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu and is easy to sow, could only produce a few hundred kilograms per mu even before improvements.

In my ears I heard the data given by the anchor, and in front of my eyes I saw the texture of two types of corn being crushed. Even if I didn’t know what it tasted like, I could tell by the look on the anchor’s face that it was definitely not that different.

Suddenly, there were many more people who wanted to go to America to find corn.

The farmers of the Kangxi Dynasty who were growing corn began to think about how they could use the corn on hand to cultivate corn like Anchor, which could produce thousands of pounds per mu.

Liu Sanshui, a native of Cao Wei, lived in a remote area far away from the capital. There was drought all year round, so he was always named after water.

To live here, you have to plant food, either millet or soybeans, but even if you plant them, you may not be able to grow them all.

Looking at the big and beautiful corn in the sky, he was very envious.

"Anchor, can you show me what the whole corn looks like? I want to go outside to find this corn and take it home to plant!"

Although their long-standing tradition is to take root in the land, no one will stay away from their homeland unless there is disaster or famine, but if there is a better way out, no one will give up this opportunity.

Liu Sanshui is a conscientious person who has grown up here since he was a child. His current hometown is far less desolate and arid than it would be thousands of years ago, but now they also have to think about how to survive.

He wanted to know how to find that corn and bring it home so that this land with little water could produce such beautiful food.

[“For America, you need to travel far by boat. It’s not impossible to travel by land, but it’s very cold when you go to the North Pole and cross the Bering Strait.”

Xiaoxiao put the two peeled corns back in the refrigerator, then went back to the study with a cane. He flipped through the computer carefully for a long time, showed him the distribution range and map of corns, and found a one-minute introduction. A popular plant science video about corn allows him to take a closer look at what corn looks like.

"If any of you can reach America, in addition to corn, America also has potatoes, which we also call potatoes. They are also delicious and high-yielding food crops."

The one-minute video about corn happened to have potatoes underneath it, so Xiaoxiao put it in for them too.

“I’m not a professional, but when growing corn and potatoes, I remember that there are plant-specific diseases and pest threats.

It is best to grow more types of food and not be too single. Rotation of different crops requires different nutrients, which can reduce land consumption. If you find it later, if you have a chance, you can ask me if you have any questions. ”]

Different from corn with green stalks and leaves that grow densely and beautifully toward the sky, potatoes dug out of the ground look like pits and taro sweet potatoes, but after washing them and peeling them, the yellow potatoes inside look like jade. .

Like corn, it can be eaten in a variety of ways. There are a lot of recipes and food pictures in the video, not to mention that its yield is several times higher than that of rice.

The kings who were still struggling with the manpower, material resources and navigation skills to spend: Build a ship, you must build a ship! America, right? It’s all here on Earth, so I can’t believe I can’t find you!

Cao Pi called people over and asked them to find Liu Sanshui. Do you want to go overseas to do something in your career? As an emperor, he also supports it.

Sun Quan in the southeast also had the same idea. The shipbuilding technology on his side was much higher than that on the other two sides. It was also close to the sea and was only going to America. Why couldn't he give it a try?

As for Shuzhong, the monarchs and ministers of Shuzhong, who were not at all convenient to go to sea, were also thinking about this matter. After discussion, they decided to go to sea together with Soochow if possible, and send people and goods together. If not, just borrow someone. In Haikou, they asked Soochow to buy a boat and arrange for people to go to sea.

This matter of going to sea is uncertain, and the outcome is unknown. For such a high-risk matter, you can still contact Soochow.

Ying Zheng, who originally wanted to send Xu Fu to the gold and silver mines, couldn't sit still and immediately sent someone to find Xu Fu.

Putting aside the elixir of longevity and the disintegration of Da Qin after his death, everything will be easier once we get this magical food.

No wonder everyone in future generations can go to school. They really don’t need so many people to farm. And the more books they read, the greater the help they can give back to farming.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already decided to open the sea but was still considering the laws on maritime trade, took a deep breath and looked at these two high-yield crops in the Americas and decided to send people to find these two crops.

And when he was thinking about waiting for the next court to discuss matters about going to America, he suddenly thought of the hundreds of years that the Ming Dynasty had missed, and then contacted the current corn and potatoes, the English steam engine and various inventions before he ascended the throne. The new emperor, who was in high spirits, took a deep breath.

In his heart, he really wanted the anchor to talk about the Ming Dynasty in the future, so that the current people could have a chance to make amends and do something, but if it was like Song Huizong and Song Taizong, it would be better not to know.

And Zhao Guo also remembered the appearance of the corn, and even the host's words behind it. Different plants require different nutrients. In the past few years, he can record while planting, compare the data, and find the most suitable rotation plan.

Lucky viewer No. 5, Zhou Zi, is from the Eastern Han Dynasty and is also a doctor at Luoyang New Medical College.

After it was confirmed that he was on the list, his colleagues were envious and happy. They quickly told the anchor what they wanted to ask the most, and Zhou Zi, who had not yet thought about what questions to ask, watched the selection.

Zhou Zi thought for a while and asked: "Anchor, what is the main function of the proto-oncogene? Will it cause any serious diseases after it causes human cells to become cancerous?"

The most common diseases among them at this time were cold, plague, leprosy and gall disease (big neck disease). He was really curious about this disease caused by cancerous cells.

[I pondered for a moment, thinking about what to say.

"As mentioned before, there are a large number of different cells in our body. Cells will divide and reproduce on their own. During the reproduction process, those related to the development of cancer are defined as proto-oncogenes, and those related to inhibiting value-added are tumor suppressors. Gene.

If the proto-oncogene is normal, it is also a positive part of human cells, responsible for regulating the cell cycle and controlling cell growth and division processes; however, if it mutates, excessive changes will cause cell cancer, and the originally neutral proto-oncogene will become Oncogenes that make cells carcinogenic. "

But regarding the symptoms of cancer, she just came out of the hospital and didn't want to go back at all, so she found a video about cancer and asked them to see the causes of cancer and some specific symptoms. 】

The doctors gathered together, listened to the symptoms, and then looked at the horrifying diorama of tumors in the sky. They realized that this was not a "rock", a lump formed by the stasis of Qi and blood. Lung cancer is lung cancer, and liver cancer is gas accumulation.

No wonder they haven't seen this cancer disease often. These diseases are rarely seen in the bodies of dignitaries, let alone in the homes of ordinary people, and not every doctor can diagnose it.

Everyone generally has a limited lifespan. A cold may kill a person, let alone get these cancers.

Of course, there were some diseases that they had never heard of or seen before, so they quickly wrote them down one by one, preparing to discuss together later how to treat them if they encountered them.

Different from the interest of the professional doctors, other people understood why the anchor didn't want to listen at all. It gave them nightmares at night for several days. If they had a choice, they wouldn't want to listen or watch at all.

But no one can say anything about getting sick. For their own good, everyone can only endure the discomfort and read the popular science on diseases in the sky.

Some people also remembered that they had not been very well these past two days. After watching the knowledge shared by Tianmu, they suddenly began to wonder if they were sick, whether it was this cancer or that cancer. The more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they felt, and they collapsed at home. Tell people to call the doctor quickly.

The family was also helpless, but they were also afraid of what might happen, so they hurriedly sent for a doctor.

Lucky viewer No. 6, Li Tai, wanted to ask a lot of things, but the most important thing he wanted to do was to ask the host if he could sell something.

Although the host has made it clear before that she does not accept buying and selling, she will choose a lucky viewer to give something to her every month, but this month's gift has already been given. With so many dynasties and so many people, he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

For this reason, Li Tai decided to ask the anchor if he could buy or sell it, even if he might get a smiley death stare from him.

To save others by oneself, think about how they all cherish the ancient books now. He, Aye, has always admired General You's calligraphy. Li Tai believes that future generations will also highly respect these.

"Anchor, are you lacking the calligraphy of the Second King? If you don't want to buy or sell it, can I trade it with you?"

Li Shimin, who did not want to restrain his child and believed that his fat son would have some sense of control:...

Where did you get the calligraphy of Er Wang? It belongs to you and me!
