Chapter 327 We don’t understand what you are talking about, but we can solve the problem!
The scorching sun gradually rose, and the ears of wheat in the experimental field swayed gently in the morning breeze.
Su Wenchen rolled up his sleeves and took the sickle with a cold glow handed to him by Miao Zhiguo.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
"If we don't finish harvesting these two acres of land by noon, I'll really make you all eat leftover steamed bread!"
Hearing Su Wenchen's half-joking words, Miao Zhiguo chuckled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Director, don't worry! Although our technical team isn't as skilled as the veterans, they're just as strong!"
"Besides, we have strength in numbers. Director, you can just take a rest and leave this work to us young people."
Su Wenchen bent down and grabbed a handful of wheat straw, and slashed the sickle across the ground. The straw fell neatly, splashing a few scattered grains of wheat.
But he said it with dissatisfaction.
"Who are you looking down on?"
"Everyone is a youngster, Zhiguo. Look at your movements, they are even more awkward than mine, and you work slower than me. Don't say you are a youngster when you go out. You will embarrass us young people."
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the other two beside him also burst into laughter.
Miao Zhiguo said directly and stubbornly.
"Director, I was just slow to get used to it at first, but I've got enough stamina to catch up with you later!"
"Look, am I not almost there now?"
However, as the heavy wheat straw was cut by the sickle, Miao Zhiguo couldn't help but sigh.
"Director, this piece of land in our experimental field feels even stronger than the wheat straw and the fields!"
"And the ears feel heavy, almost as heavy as the wheat your team grows. I think the yield per mu is much higher!"
Su Wenchen didn't stop his hands, but spoke with a smile.
"Don't brag yet. Let's talk about it after we've weighed everything. No matter what, the final data will be the final word!"
Since he was not particularly familiar with the output of the fields, Su Wenchen actually had no way to make a rough estimate of the output, so he was really a little afraid that he would be too optimistic at this time and end up in tragedy.
When Miao Zhiguo heard this, he muttered, "There's no need to brag. The yield per mu can be seen at a glance. It must be high!"
But while muttering to himself, he continued to cut hard.
As the scorching sun rises higher and higher, the last bit of coolness in the early morning is gradually fading away.
For a moment, the whole earth was like being placed in a furnace.
Near noon, the last row of wheat in the experimental field was finally laid down.
Su Wenchen sat down directly on the bundled straw, half leaning on it, looking at the cloudless blue sky.
He didn't want to do anything at this moment, he just wanted to lie down quietly for a while.
But he had one last thought, which was that he must get a harvester next year.
The other three people were no better than Su Wenchen. After they finally finished harvesting, they were so tired that they couldn't even straighten their backs. They simply leaned against the bundled straw to rest.
Just when Su Wenchen was exhausted, the sound of car engines suddenly came from the distance.
Some people around immediately sat up.
"Hey, there's a car. Is it here to deliver food?"
"That's not right! We're close here. Didn't the director tell us this morning to go to the canteen on the field to eat?"
Miao Zhiguo was also full of confusion.
"It looks like a jeep? All the maintenance staff in our farm went out today to help drive tractors to transport wheat. This shouldn't be our farm's vehicle."
"Is there someone coming from the local area?"
Hearing the noise, Su Wenchen stood up and looked into the distance with narrowed eyes.
One in front and one behind, three cars slowly followed a bicycle and headed towards the field.
Looking at Liu Xun on the bicycle in front of him, Su Wenchen had a rough idea in his mind.
However, Su Wenchen had no intention of going over to greet him.
Because their farm and Liu Xun's courtyard are not in a superior-subordinate relationship.
If you rush to do that, you will seem worthless.
However, when the car drove to the front of the field, the first person to get out was someone he knew.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen immediately went up to greet him with a smile.
"Director Lu! Why are you here?!"
"Are they here, knowing how hard we've been working today, and representing the department to express their condolences to our farm workers?"
Lu Anguo looked at Su Wenchen, who was wearing a navy blue work suit, a hairdo covered with wheat stubble, and a straw hat.
Although he was a little surprised, Su Wenchen's words made him even more embarrassed!
Because he really didn't come here to express his condolences, and he didn't know that the harvest had started today in the first branch of the Blue Water Farm, so naturally he didn't bring anything!
But he certainly couldn't say that at this time.
"I'm not representing the ministry, but the bureau is thinking about your new branch, so I came down to see if I can help."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he quickly continued.
"Director, you've arrived at the perfect time. The bureau is here to help us, just in time for what we're worried about!"
When Lu Anguo heard this, he quickly reached out to interrupt.
"Just tell me what's going on, and I'll see if I can help!"
"I'm telling you not to go too far!"
Lu Anguo is now very familiar with Su Wenchen. He knows that this guy never does anything without profit. If he praises you so much, you will definitely have to pay a little price.
However, he did not inform Blue Water Farm when he came here this time, and he still felt a little sorry for them.
So he thought, let it bleed a little!
Hearing Lu Anguo's words, Su Wenchen nodded.
"Director, I know. I'm not being overly harsh. Our Blue Water Farm is at least a medium-sized farm."
"There's not even a harvester on this entire farm. That's inappropriate!"
As he spoke, he patted the wheat stubble on his body, showing an aggrieved expression.
"Director, even I, the director, have to come to the fields to harvest the wheat myself!"
Lu Anguo glanced at Su Wenchen.
"Are you so short of people? How about I write a report for you and send some educated youth down to you?"
Su Wenchen quickly waved his hands when he heard this.
"No need for that. Let's leave these educated young people to the places in the Great Northern Wilderness where manpower is more needed!"
"We will get through this little difficulty if we persevere!"
"But it would be even better if the bureau could allocate a few more harvesters to help us through this difficult time!"
For Su Wenchen, they really have no shortage of people now, because there are two communes outside with a total of nearly 20,000 people queuing there, eagerly waiting to join!
He really couldn't bear to send more educated youth to their place at this time.
Of course, the reason why Su Wenchen doesn't want it now is because the educated youth do some breeding-related work.
Actually it’s not bad, not particularly bad.
But doing farm work is really not enough.
Just look at what happened this morning. The four of them only managed to harvest less than five mu of wheat in the entire morning.
The combined efforts of four people can only match the work of an old master.
But when it comes to eating, it’s a different story. These guys, big and small, are all big eaters.
Under such circumstances, Su Wenchen definitely did not want the educated youth.
Lu Anguo also knew the general situation of the first branch of Lanshui Farm. What he said just now was also to remind this kid not to go too far, otherwise he would arrange for him to be an educated youth.
But since Su Wenchen said so, he could only say it.
"Okay, I get it. I'll go back and discuss it with the Agricultural Machinery Bureau and arrange two for you in the second half of the year."
"It's definitely too late this year, but we'll definitely be able to get you in before next summer's harvest."
Su Wenchen nodded quickly.
"I knew Director Lu must have our farm in mind!"
"Don't worry, Director. With the help of the harvester, we will definitely be able to make more contributions to the bureau."
At this moment, several people in Zhongshan suits behind him coughed lightly.
Interrupting the two people's greetings.
Seeing this, Lu Anguojian also remembered the important business that he had to deal with.
"Xiao Su, let me introduce you."
"This is Vice President Lin from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"
After Lu Anguo’s introduction, Su Wenchen immediately stepped forward happily.
"Hello, Dean Lin, welcome to our farm to inspect our work!"
"That's fine, Director Su, as long as we don't bother you. However, I don't dare take on the responsibility of inspection. The most we can do is learn from each other!"
Then Lu Anguo introduced further.
"This is Deputy Director Cai from the Institute of Microbiology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Su Wenchen was indeed a little surprised when he heard this.
Because he did have a mental plan for what to do if people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences came.
As for the people coming from the bureau, he thought it was half and half!
They may come down together or individually.
However, the involvement of the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
Because he really didn't know it before, but now the country has already started conducting research related to microorganisms.
After all, he was not familiar with this field at all. Besides, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had more contact with industrial-related departments, so it was normal that he didn't know.
But even though there was no contingency plan, Su Wenchen was not panicked at all and still welcomed him with a happy face.
"Director Cai, welcome! Welcome! We're so glad you're here to guide our work!"
"Director Su, we really don't dare to give you guidance. We heard that you can already use microorganisms for practical applications."
“So we came here to visit and learn!”
Hearing this, Su Wenchen didn't ask any silly questions like how the other party knew.
Just being humble.
"This is just a coincidence! We just happened to find the right method."
"So when it comes to research on microorganisms, it definitely has to be Director Cai and your Institute of Microbiology."
I listened to the various pleasantries exchanged by several people.
A slightly older man following behind couldn't help but mutter.
"A little flatterer."
"You only know how to flatter, but what's the point of just flattering? If you just point your finger at someone and blow their cover, I wonder how you'll end up!"
Although the sound was not loud, almost everyone heard it.
So they looked at each other curiously.
Because they were all a little confused. To be honest, most of them actually had some doubts about this matter before coming here.
After arriving at the scene, almost everyone felt that there was not even a formal laboratory here, and it did seem a bit unfounded.
But knowing is one thing, and saying it directly is another.
After all, there were several leaders speaking in front.
In any case, no one with a little emotional intelligence would say these things at this time before their leader expresses his opinion.
Seeing that everyone else was looking over.
Several colleagues who were originally next to this person all took two steps to the side, fearing that others would misunderstand and say that it was he who said it.
At this time, Vice President Lin of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who was standing next to Su Wenchen not far away, suddenly turned dark in his expression.
He interrupted sharply.
"Qiu Ruimin!"
Obviously, the other party's words, which were completely inappropriate to the occasion, also made him very angry.
He had even specifically reminded them several times before coming, and the other party had agreed, but in the end it still turned out like this.
So he could only apologize to Su Wenchen in person.
"Director Su, I'm sorry, some of our colleagues in the hospital are not very good at speaking. I apologize to you on their behalf!"
Su Wenchen shook his head.
Because he was originally worried about not having the opportunity to make the Agricultural Science Academy wrong! Now that the other party has come to his door, he must seize this opportunity.
"President Lin, I dare not accept your apology, but this old comrade said this in front of everyone, especially in front of our director."
"If I pretend I didn't hear anything, people will think we're guilty!"
Qiu Ruimin saw that he couldn't hold it back, and although he looked at Vice President Lin with a look of guilt.
But now that the words have been said, there is no point in holding it in any longer, so I can only speak directly.
"Lin Yuan, we've finished looking at it now."
"I originally thought they might have received funding from higher authorities to build a new sterile environment and cleanroom for cultivating microorganisms."
"But I asked Lao Liu earlier, and he said there's no microbiology lab here at all."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but point around.
"Look here, this is a completely fungal environment, with all kinds of wild fungi everywhere."
"Even someone like me who has only a passing knowledge of microbiology knows about this kind of place. How could it possibly cultivate a special bacterial flora?"
"Ask Director Cai and the others if it's true!"
When Deputy Director Cai heard Qiu Ruimin mention their Institute of Microbiology, he nodded.
"But when it comes to cultivating special bacteria, a clean room with a sterile environment is generally required."
"However, there are no clean rooms in China that truly meet international standards, so even we usually conduct various experiments in a low-bacteria environment."
Hearing this, Qiu Ruimin spoke directly and confidently.
"So this microbial alkali treatment is a joke! Although Blue Water Farm has indeed achieved some success in cultivating normal organisms."
"But that doesn't mean they can fully understand microorganisms!"
Su Wenchen looked at the other party and gave a long speech.
"Old comrade, are you finished?"
"Is it my turn to speak then?"
"I don't understand what you were talking about earlier, like sterile environments or clean rooms."
Hearing this, the other party became even more proud.
Just take a look! I was right!
I just know that you must be talking nonsense.
But then Su Wenchen changed the subject.
"We don't understand what you're talking about, but we can solve practical problems!"
As he spoke, Su Wenchen turned around and pointed directly at the small wheat field in the distance that had just been harvested.
"This is the best proof that this land, like the surrounding area, was originally a highly saline-alkali land with a pH value of over 9.0."
"From the harvest, we can already confirm that it has definitely dropped below 8.0."
"Because even though you can still get a harvest if the pH is above 8.0, the yield will still be slightly reduced!"
"As for the yield, the wheat ears are right here. Many of you are experts in agronomy, so I believe you can all give us a rough idea."
After Su Wenchen finished speaking, several people immediately walked down the field with some curiosity and headed towards the bundles of wheat.
When bending over to check, someone couldn't help but say.
"Is this really grown in saline soil?"
"Even if it were normal land, this would be considered a bumper harvest!"
"Indeed, this has not been affected at all. Moreover, if all the wheat ears are of this kind, I think the yield has increased significantly."
"I feel the same way. The yield per mu must be at least 200 kilograms or more!"
Hearing his colleague's words, Qiu Ruimin immediately became anxious.
"impossible!"
"They must have changed the soil on this land!"
"Otherwise, there aren't even ditches around here, so how could this particular area grow so well?"
After saying that, he immediately walked towards the field. After walking a few steps, he chose a place and immediately bent down to dig.
moment.
I crushed the soil in my hand and watched the brown crumbs fall to the ground. This was the soil I had studied for half my life.
He knew very well that this obviously did not look like saline-alkali soil, but it certainly did not look like soil that had been transported.
After licking the dirt on his hand and licking it, Qiu Ruimin's eyes widened instantly.
He murmured in disbelief.
"How could it not be a replacement of the soil?"
"How is this possible? How can it be salty?"
"That's impossible! How can something salty have such a good harvest?"
"And why is it that this piece of land alone doesn't show any signs of salinization?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the fields not far away, which were obviously hardened due to salinization.
Dig out a lump of soil that is obviously compacted and crush it with your hands.
I found that the soil on both sides was almost the same, except that one side was particularly compacted, while the other side could be easily crushed.
Then he tasted the soil here, but as soon as it entered his mouth, he couldn't help but spit it out.
"Pooh! Pooh!"
It is obvious that the soil here is very saline and the smell of salt is very obvious.
Seeing this, everyone knew that Blue Water Farm really had mastered certain alkali treatment technologies.
Even at this point, most people don’t care whether or not to use microorganisms to treat alkali.
Because they all know that no matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.
As long as the stubborn problem of saline-alkali land can be solved, most people will not care so much!
However, only Vice President Lin felt a little headache at this time!
Because their people came out and messed around, turning the originally relaxed situation into this, and they offended everyone.
At this moment, he felt that perhaps the hospital had been too lax in its supervision of them in the past two years.
You can say whatever you want in the courtyard! I didn’t expect that I couldn’t hold it in outside.
I thought I was absolutely right just because I had learned something new from a foreign country.
It seems that I have to discuss this with the dean when I go back and I must clean up the mess!
