Chapter 591 Hybrid Rice Success

"Dean, it's Professor Qiu Ying!"

Liu Yuan was still speaking excitedly, and for a moment he seemed not to notice the change in Zhou Tian's expression at all.

"Tell me, Professor Qiu Ying, what happened to Professor Qiu Ying?"

Zhou Tian instantly felt unwell after hearing Liu Yuan's words. You know, Professor Qiu Ying is a key person in his domestic agricultural layout. If something happens to her, the impact will be huge.

"No, Dean, I mean the rice developed by Professor Qiu Ying was successful!"

Finally, under Zhou Tian's urging, Liu Yuan finally told the story.

"It worked. Did it really work?"

Zhou Tian seemed unable to believe it. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Liu Yuan's arms tightly, looked at Liu Yuan excitedly and asked.

"Really, it's true, this is what Professor Qiu Ying said herself!"

Liu Yuan still assured with an excited look on his face.

“Hi, great!”

After getting confirmation, Zhou Tian couldn't help but shout out, then hurriedly ran outside.

"Dean, please wait for me!"

When Liu Yuan saw it, he immediately hurried to follow. After all, this was a big event and he didn't want to miss this exciting moment.

Zhou Tian was no longer able to care about anything else at this moment. He quickly ran downstairs, drove directly out of the research institute and headed towards the branch factory.

"Dean, I haven't gotten in the car yet, please wait for me, Dean!"

Liu Yuan ran downstairs and saw the dean driving away from the institute. He could not help but chase after the jeep, but who would have thought that the jeep was getting farther and farther away. He could only watch the jeep disappear from his sight.

Stopping his breathless body, he could only smile bitterly and said to himself: "Dean, I haven't gotten in the car yet!"

But Zhou Tian was driving fast on the road, rushing like lightning on the way to the suburbs of Changping.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

He was so excited in his heart that he had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The speed of the car was like a flash of lightning passing by on the asphalt road.

The journey would have taken more than 40 minutes, but he rushed all the way to the farm on the outskirts of Changping in less than 20 minutes.

As soon as the car stopped beside the farm, Zhou Tian couldn't wait to run into the farm.

From a distance he saw a group of people surrounding Professor Qiu Ying, each of them talking excitedly. Among them were not only farm staff, but also Song Weiguo and several old men who were also agricultural experts.

"All of you, get out of here. Why are you hanging around Professor Qiu instead of going to work? Go do what you need to do!"

Zhou Tian took two steps at a time and walked up, shouting at everyone.

"Who is it that is so blind that he didn't see......"

At this moment, a worker turned around with an unhappy look on his face and said, when he saw Zhou Tian with a gloomy face beside him, he couldn't help shrinking his neck and shouted, "Hello, Dean!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards his workplace.

"Hello, Dean!"

When the rest of the people heard their colleague's voice, they turned around and saw the dean. They also felt panic in an instant and dispersed. Only a few old professors and Song Weiguo did not leave.

Instead, he greeted Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian smiled at them and ignored them. Instead, he looked at Professor Qiu Ying and asked, "Professor Qiu, has the rice research really succeeded?"

He didn't have time to care about other people now. He just wanted to know whether the research he had asked Professor Qiu Ying to do had been completed.

"Yes, Dean, it has succeeded, but it is only a preliminary success. The yield per mu has reached the 800 kilograms you set at the beginning!"

Professor Qiu Ying nodded in confirmation.

"Great, let's go and take a look!"

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he led the way towards the rice breeding base.

When he arrived at the rice breeding base and saw the densely packed rice in the greenhouse, he knew in his heart that Professor Qiu Ying had indeed succeeded. However, he still walked in, picked up a rice ear and felt the plump grains on it.

The excitement on his face was beyond words! However, when he saw the vacant land of about one acre in front of him, he couldn't help but ask.

“Have you harvested the acre of rice in front?”

"Yes, Dean, the acre of rice in front has been harvested. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to say that the yield per acre has reached your standard, right?"

Professor Qiu Ying on the side said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! Okay!"

Zhou Tian said three good words in a row, and then looked at the other rice. "A total of thirteen acres, one acre was harvested, Weiguo?"

"Dean!"

Song Weiguo immediately stepped forward and responded.

"You must immediately arrange for someone to harvest another acre of rice. I want to see it with my own eyes!"

"Yes, Dean!"

Song Weiguo responded and turned around to arrange for the staff. Zhou Tian turned around and looked at Professor Qiu Ying, and said apologetically: "Professor Qiu, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is a bit too big, I want to verify it myself, you won't mind, right?"

"Of course not. Besides, if the cultivation of hybrid rice does not require the support of the dean, I can't cultivate it!"

Professor Qiu Ying waved his hand and said, just as he said, if the dean had not tied him down, as a leader in agricultural research, it would have been impossible for him to develop true hybrid rice without decades of time.

However, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across the faces of several old professors around Professor Qiu Ying. It was obvious that they were unhappy that Zhou Tian did not believe in Professor Qiu Ying.

Soon, Song Weiguo found a dozen farm workers and started harvesting one acre of rice.

Seeing the skillful movements of more than a dozen people, you can tell they are veterans. In less than half an hour, one acre of rice has been harvested. After harvesting, they start threshing using threshers.

After all the rice in an acre of land was threshed, several people began to weigh the rice.

"Dean, a total of 836 kilograms!"

As the staff's report sounded, Zhou Tian couldn't help but applaud on the spot, and the others also clapped excitedly. Obviously, everyone knew what this number represented.

Everyone looked at Professor Qiu Ying as if they were looking at a god.

In fact, in this era, although rice has been bred and cultivated for generations, before the emergence of hybrid rice, even the best rice seeds could only produce a maximum of 200 kilograms per acre. But now it is different.

Thanks to the hybrid rice cultivated by Professor Qiu Ying, the rice yield per acre of land has increased by at least four or five times compared to before. What a concept! It can be said that as long as hybrid rice is planted throughout the country, China will never lack food again.

This can be said to be a feat that benefits the present and will be of great benefit to future generations.
