Siheyuan: Promoted to engineer, torturing and weeping animals

However, everyone sitting in this conference room at this time is the top expert in the field of agronomy in China!

Looking at their faces, Zhang Yi felt a little emotional in his heart.

Half a century later, each of them is a well-known existence in the field of agronomy, and most of them are worthy of the title of unparalleled national scholar!

The dean signaled to Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang, the heads of all research laboratories are here. You can tell them now if you have anything to say!"

Zhang Yi nodded, and then said to all the experts in front of him: "You must have got the grain seeds I brought."

"I don't think I need to say more, you can also understand how high their quality is."

"However, this understanding is not deep enough. Let me tell you briefly here."

Zhang Yi's eyes swept over everyone, everyone looked at him with serious expressions and listened carefully to every word he said.

Zhang Yi said slowly: "If the seeds of dozens of crops I brought are planted in the ground, the output will be 2 to 10 times that of current domestic crops!"

Zhang Yi said a relatively conservative figure.

In fact, in his micro-farm, the output is even more terrifying than what he said!

It's just that considering that the land quality in most areas of the country is not as good as his farm, so what he said is a little conservative.

But even so, it still brought a huge shock to everyone present!

boom!

These words exploded like a thunder in the meeting room, and all the experts were shocked, and immediately exploded.

"What? 2 to 10 times? Doesn't that mean that the production can be increased by at least twice?"

"Crops such as soybeans and corn are okay. There is a lot of room for improvement, and the gap between us and the world is also far away. But it is not easy to increase the yield of wheat and rice!"

"That's right, if the production of the two staple foods of rice and wheat can be doubled, our country's food problems can be solved!"

"This... this sounds incredible! At present, there are only one or two countries in the world that have mastered such advanced technology. They make a lot of money by selling seeds!"

"Have we... really mastered this technology?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Yi with both excitement and suspicion in their eyes.

It is not too surprising to be able to get these high-quality rice seeds.

After all, many people can obtain it from foreign sources.

The most difficult thing is to get the technology to produce these rice seeds!

The seeds of crops are not as simple as simply keeping a part of the harvested grain.

Because of genetics, all seeds must be grown individually each year.

However, the genetic sequence of the seeds produced by crops has changed. If they are sown with self-saved seeds in the second year, the yield will definitely drop significantly.

Therefore, there are companies that specialize in seeds in the world, and they make profits by selling seeds.

But at this time, some people raised doubts.

It is none other than the top rice expert in China, Professor Yuan.

He raised his hand and looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yichong nodded at him, "Professor Yuan, is there any question?"

Professor Yuan looked at Zhang Yi and said seriously: "Mr. Zhang Yi, I have a question. You, an expert in the field of mechanical engineering, came here now and told us that you have dozens of advanced crops of rice in your hand. A breeding technique. It makes us sound a bit puzzled!"

He said, looking at everyone present, and said: "Everyone of us has spent half of his life working hard on researching better grain seeds. But the process is extremely difficult. Everyone does the same research. I dare not say how big a breakthrough has been.”

Having said that, he smiled slightly, "So I don't quite believe what you said."

Zhang Yi nodded: "Your suspicion is very reasonable. But I always believe that practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"I will provide you with the method, and then you can use it to test whether I am right or wrong."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene suddenly seemed to be enlightened.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth? Wonderful, this sentence is simply wonderful!"

"Scientific research, isn't it necessary to have such a spirit?"

"As expected of the leading mechanical engineer in China, just a word has such a thought-provoking meaning!"

Professor Yuan frowned, "But you have to convince us that you have such abilities."

"You know, it will take a lot of time and energy if we want us to put down the work we have been working on for more than ten years and cooperate with you in your research."

Professor Li on the side also nodded.

"Recently, my wheat has also made new breakthroughs. Now is the critical moment. Therefore, we don't want to give up the work at hand easily."

They were not targeting Zhang Yi, but out of scientific caution, they did not dare to agree to Zhang Yi's request easily.

The rice seeds brought by Zhang Yi are very advanced, but they may also come from developed countries abroad.

Other experts also echoed the two people's words.

"Yes, unless you can explain the origin of these research methods. Otherwise, we really can't believe the words of a layman."

"The project we have in hand has been in the process for more than ten years. Once it is cut off halfway, it will have a great impact on our entire project!"

"It's really difficult for people to make a choice. Unless Mr. Zhang, you can produce evidence to prove that the method you gave is better."

Zhang Yi was not unhappy when he heard the guy's distrust of him, after all, everything was expected.

Instead, the dean next to him said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhang, don't be angry, they usually have this temper. Even with me, they often do this."

Zhang Yi smiled lightly, "It's okay, scientists, it's normal to have a little temper."

"However, I'm not used to being looked down upon."

He rubbed his wrist, then glanced at everyone present.

"Don't you just think that I am a layman, so you don't believe the breeding method I provide?"

"Well, let's compare the knowledge of agronomy. If I am not as good as those here in any aspect of agronomy, then I will take back the suggestion I just made."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene looked at Zhang Yi as if they were looking at a lunatic.

Chapter 463 Hybrid Rice

Zhang Yi's remarks caused a huge wave in the conference room!

The researcher next to him who was in charge of meeting minutes couldn't help raising his head and took a deep look at Zhang Yi.

He whispered: "Is Zhang Yi crazy? This is the National Agricultural College. Which of the people sitting below is not a top expert in their field! He challenged dozens of people by himself?"

The dean was also dumbfounded: "Mr. Zhang, isn't this too impulsive?"

Zhang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, since I said that, I have the confidence. Everyone," he glanced at the surrounding experts with a smile, "Which one of you wants to try first?"

The experts below were discussing in whispers, looking at Zhang Yi with some displeasure.

Zhang Yi's behavior was equivalent to kicking the gym in ancient times.

But today, in order to make his plan go smoothly, and for these people to fully cooperate with his breeding plan in the future, he will be a villain again!

Let's convince these people first!

After a group of experts and professors discussed it, they recommended Professor Yuan, who had a higher reputation, to come out and compare with Zhang Yi.

Professor Yuan wanted to test Zhang Yi's strengths, so he articulated the most troublesome problem he had encountered recently.

"Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask. If we want high-yield and high-quality rice that is resistant to lodging, what's your opinion?"

Everyone here nodded when they heard this question.

Not only rice, many crops are facing these two problems.

The first is that the output cannot increase. The annual harvest is so small that there is not enough food.

The second is that it is not resistant to lodging, and it will fall when the wind blows, and it is easy to die.

In comparison, pests and diseases are not too big of a problem.

Zhang Yi laughed when he heard this question.

Instead of answering in a hurry, he put his hands on the table and asked, "Professor Yuan, can I ask how you deal with this question first?"

Professor Yuan replied without hesitation: "Our approach is to continuously screen rice seeds through genetics."

"From dozens of rice varieties, we select the three with the highest quality for planting. Every year, we pick the best growing rice and continue planting."

"In this way, the quality of the rice seeds we have screened is getting higher and higher after being screened from generation to generation. Today, the yield of the varieties we have obtained is 1.3 times that of the national average!"

After Zhang Yi heard these words, he couldn't help but smiled.

"This method, to put it bluntly, is to boil time and then slowly screen. It seems to be a very good method, but it does not change any attributes of the rice itself."

Professor Yuan frowned slightly: "This is the most scientific method at this stage."

Zhang Yi said, "But Professor Yuan, have you ever considered a question. Genes are very complicated."

"The same trait may be controlled by multiple chromosomes, and each pair of chromosomes has two, which can be divided into dominant and recessive."

"Even if you get high-yield and good lodging-resistant rice seeds in a certain generation, it is very unstable. Maybe the next time you use the same male and female parents to cultivate, the rice seeds you get will be completely different. quality."

When Zhang Yi said this, his expression became extremely serious.

He knocked on the table: "Although this probability is not particularly high, it is only about 20%. But we are engaged in agriculture, and we will promote rice seeds to the whole country in the future!"

"Even if there is only a small mistake, it will cause huge losses to the country! Therefore, I think this kind of cultivation method is not advisable at present!"

After Zhang Yi's words, the scene suddenly became much quieter.

There is no way, in this day and age, college students are all high-end rare talents.

Most of the outsiders don't understand the professional terms that Zhang Yi mentioned, so the word "professional" is reflected when he speaks.

What's more, the problems he mentioned are all on the key points.

Even Professor Yuan couldn't help thinking in silence, what Zhang Yi said was exactly what he was worried about now.

Otherwise, why didn't he dare to report to the higher-ups and promote this kind of grain when the grain production in the experimental field has increased?

It is because the uncertainty is still too great, and it is not a problem to put it in a small experimental field.

But once it is extended to the whole country, it may cause huge problems!
