Chapter 329 Comrade Su, you really taught us a lesson today!
Following Su Wenchen's directions, the car drove to the entrance of the farm.
Su Wenchen was just about to get off the car when Lu Anguo suddenly reacted and said.
"Hey, that's not right!"
Then he pulled Su Wenchen and shook his head.
"Xiao Su, that's not right, that's not right!"
"What you said earlier has nothing to do with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"
"You must have said something else before!"
Su Wenchen blinked.
"Didn't I say that?"
When Lu Anguo heard this, he hesitated.
"Did he say that?"
"Then why don't I remember it?"
After recalling for a moment, Lu Anguo affirmed.
"No, my memory can't be that bad. You definitely didn't say that."
“Maybe I didn’t say that!”
"Actually, from the beginning, I just wanted Director Liu Xun to introduce me to a group of agricultural researchers."
"Director, as you know, our farm is not short of talent related to animal husbandry because of the training for technical backbones that will begin in the second half of the year."
“But there is a shortage of talents related to agriculture!”
"If we had only been engaged in animal husbandry like the main farm before, it wouldn't have mattered."
"But now that we're a comprehensive farm, we definitely need to have more talent in planting-related fields!"
"We also need to have a reserve of talent related to subsequent construction projects and mechanical engineering!"
Lu Anguo understood immediately after hearing this, but even though he understood, he stared at Su Wenchen with a strange look on his face.
"You're thinking about the people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I think I can understand your thoughts!"
"But you're even thinking about Lao Qin's people?"
"From what you're saying, we need to reserve some more mechanical-related talents? Are you not even going to let go of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau?"
As soon as Lu Anguo said this, he felt a little embarrassed to Su Wenchen.
From the very beginning, he had the idea of mutual benefit from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
However, for Director Qin of the Engineering Bureau, he did initially want to find a way to pry open a technically mature engineering team.
Now that Lu Anguo had said this, Su Wenchen, whose thick skin had not yet been cultivated to the perfect level, could only speak pitifully.
"Director, I also have my own difficulties!"
"As you know, most of the large farms in the country were established more than a decade ago."
"At that time, due to the heavy grain procurement tasks, we were all under the attention of the higher-ups, and talents were directly assigned to relevant industries according to their scale."
"As a farm built later, although our grain procurement mission isn't as heavy, the Ministry doesn't provide us with any specialized personnel!"
"Even to build a branch, we had to ask the Ministry's Engineering Bureau for help."
Lu Anguo said directly.
"Who said the ministry won't assign you professionals?"
"Over at your main farm's rabbit hutch, didn't the leadership ask for your opinion last year and then assign you someone?"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was suddenly speechless.
Then he immediately looked aggrieved.
"Is that the person assigned to our farm? That's the person assigned specifically for Yuehua Rabbit."
"Although I can direct them to do their work, I can't transfer them between different sites!"
"Besides, even if we could transfer a few people here, the best they can do is work in the breeding field."
"To be honest, with me personally here, I'm not really worried about the farming."
"So, Director, what we're lacking right now are people who understand agriculture, construction, machinery, and other related fields, and who can independently lead teams to plan and complete independent projects."
After saying this, Su Wenchen stared at Lu Anguo with a burning look on his face.
"lead!"
"Now you know that there is only the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University, and the policy is that after graduation, students will be assigned to the same place where they came from."
“Our farm was just established, and we only had independent recommendation quotas last year.”
“This talent gap is far from enough!”
"You look at the bureau?"
When Lu Anguo heard this, he rolled his eyes.
"What are you daydreaming about!"
“I also want to be able to understand the profession, plan independently, and ultimately lead a team to complete a project.”
"Where can I find such high-level talent for you?"
"Don't tell me you want such a talent. I want him too! Which company wouldn't want such a treasure?"
He was actually not wrong, because every company really wants this kind of talent.
In his eyes, Su Wenchen is such a top talent.
You don't need to worry too much when you send them out. Just provide simple logistical support and they will be able to independently plan and complete various outstanding tasks.
This is also the reason why he is particularly patient with Su Wenchen.
Because this kind of subordinate is equivalent to a treasure pot. As long as you invest an initial capital, you can generate a steady stream of income in the future.
Otherwise, no one could ask for support from him in this way if it was just the leader of any farm.
Thinking of this, Lu Anguo snorted.
"You know what, there really is such a talent in the bureau!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"The Director really does have one!"
"What major?"
"What's your current job? Could you recommend me?"
Lu Anguo looked at Su Wenchen's hurried words and immediately said with a smile.
"A very young man, majoring in animal husbandry, who is a leader on a farm!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he didn't react at first.
"Also the farm leader? Who?"
And after knowing that he was also the farm leader, Su Wenchen felt that it might not be easy to get him!
Then I thought about it for a long time but couldn’t remember, was there such a person at the meeting in the department?
After coming to my senses.
Seeing Lu Anguo's expression, he immediately understood that the other party was teasing him, which made him think about it for a long time.
He looked at the other person with resentment and said.
"Director, as a leader, how can you tease your subordinates like this?"
Lu Anguo snorted.
"Humph, even as a subordinate, I can't be as demanding as you!"
"Okay, stop dreaming about this. There's a shortage of comprehensive talent like the one you're talking about. Even if someone does exist, companies won't let them go!"
"So you still have to rely on you to cultivate it!"
In fact, Lu Anguo was not wrong. In his opinion, as long as the leader was not a fool, the company would never let go of talents like Su Wenchen.
Just like now, if another department wants to take away Blue Water Farm, he will fight with them to the death.
Soon, after Su Wenchen and his team's car in front had stopped at the entrance of the farm, a while passed.
The two cars behind slowly caught up.
After seeing the car behind coming over, Lu Anguo said to Su Wenchen.
"Let's go!"
"Get out of the car and check out your lab."
"Although the bureau can't support you, I can help you think of a solution at the agricultural college, but there's definitely no talent like the one you described."
"But it should be no problem to have a few people to work on it."
"But I won't help Lao Qin."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to meet Lao Qin in the department anymore."
Su Wenchen originally thought that he had to figure out a way to deal with this matter himself.
I didn’t expect Director Lu to be so good!
Of course, he also knew that no unit would easily release the truly core experts.
After all, this is not the market economy of the future. If you really don't want to do this job anymore, you can still fire your boss.
So he wasn't disappointed or anything.
But Lu Anguo's words did remind Su Wenchen of one thing.
That is, he really needs to focus on talent training on the farm.
The livestock industry can train itself because of him, but they cannot just need talents from a single profession.
Su Wenchen felt that some welfare policies could be considered specifically for children of farm children who would attend farm schools in the future.
After five or six years, if these people can get into university, it will be impossible for all of them to come back.
But as long as there are some people willing to come back and participate in the construction of the farm, it is enough for him!
"laugh--!"
After the two cars braked one after another, Director Cai got out and immediately apologized to Lu Anguo and Su Wenchen.
"Director Lu, Director Su, I'm sorry!"
"We took up some time to get some soil, Director Su, so I hope we don't mind!"
Su Wenchen smiled and waved his hand.
"What's so troubling about this? In fact, I hope you can really use this to study and understand this bacterial community."
"This way we will also have a more comprehensive understanding of the specific effects."
After seeing the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences get off the bus on the other side.
Su Wenchen stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Everyone, let's go! I'll take you to our farm."
Upon hearing this, Director Cai was immediately surprised.
"Ah? Your bacterial culture room is built in the farm?"
To be honest, he could understand that the conditions were poor and it was impossible to build a sterile culture room.
But how could they specifically choose a farm? Is it really possible to cultivate special strains of bacteria in such an environment with such a complex bacterial population?
When Su Wenchen heard what the other party said, he just laughed.
"Don't worry, everyone. You'll understand everything when you get there."
After saying that, Su Wenchen led almost everyone into the breeding base with a puzzled look on their faces.
Along the way, we saw workers pushing carts and transporting feed from time to time.
Lu Anguo asked curiously.
"Have you started breeding meat rabbits?"
"How's the cultivation going now?"
Su Wenchen replied while leading the way in front.
"What can I say?"
"It should be considered a success!"
"However, due to the special environment here, some special circumstances have occurred, and I don't know if it can be considered a meat rabbit species."
Lu Anguo was a little confused.
"What do you mean it's not considered a meat rabbit species?"
"Is it another leather rabbit like the Yuehua rabbit? Or is it a fur rabbit specifically used for shearing, like the Angora rabbit?"
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"Neither, it should be considered a completely new species!"
After all, if we really talk about ability, Su Wenchen thinks it should be classified as an alkali rabbit that treats alkali, or a dung rabbit that specializes in producing fertilizer.
As he spoke, Su Wenchen led his men to push open the door of the rabbit house.
Looking at the row of rabbit cages in the rabbit house, everyone looked confused.
Only Director Cai seemed to have thought of something, and stared at the rabbit in the cage in shock.
Lu Anguo standing by also said helplessly.
"Xiao Su, take us to the bacterial culture room first. We'll talk about your farm's meat rabbits later."
Su Wenchen smiled and stretched out his hand to lead the way inside.
"Everyone, this is our Blue Water Farm's special bacterial culture room, and it's also the rabbit house where we raise our new breed of alkali-resistant rabbits!"
After Su Wenchen finished speaking, most people were confused and had no idea how bacterial culture was related to rabbits.
Only Director Cai looked at Su Wenchen excitedly.
"You're actually using animals as culture media to cultivate specialized bacterial communities?"
"But how do you add the culture medium that is conducive to the growth of the bacteria?"
"And how do you feed the rabbits with culture medium?"
"Then why do you feed the rabbits other feeds? Aren't you worried about disrupting the bacterial flora?"
"Or do you have other methods to isolate the influence of other bacteria?"
The others looked at Director Cai, who was obviously a little excited, and were all puzzled.
Even Qiu Ruimin, who had just made up his mind and didn't say a word, couldn't help but speak again.
"Director Cai, you said you were culturing bacteria inside rabbits?"
"With bacteria in its body, can this rabbit still survive?"
Director Cai glanced at the other party and explained directly.
"That depends on what kind of bacteria it is. It's not just rabbits. Do you think we humans don't have bacteria in our bodies?"
"What do you think antibiotics like penicillin are?"
Seeing this, Su Wenchen smiled and said directly.
"Officer Cai is indeed well-informed. Unlike some people who know nothing but like to jump out at the slightest provocation!"
I heard Su Wenchen start to tickle me again.
Qiu Ruimin snorted coldly.
Although he didn't say anything, he was cursing in his heart.
Didn’t he just raise two questions before?
As for holding grudges so much, he always secretly stabs himself!
No respect for the elderly at all!
But he knew he couldn't continue talking at this time, because judging from the situation on the scene, it was obvious that he had entered an area that he didn't understand.
It would be even more embarrassing if I continued.
After seeing that the other party just snorted, Su Wenchen actually stopped talking.
Naturally, he didn't say anything more, otherwise it would seem that he was being unreasonable.
Then he explained.
"Our new breed of rabbits, named the Alkali-Control Rabbit, is actually fed with feed grown in saline-alkali land, along with some supplementary ingredients."
"This feed can stimulate the rabbit's intestinal flora, causing the rabbit's own intestinal flora to mutate into a special bacteria species that can neutralize some of the salt and alkali in the body."
"And even if this bacteria leaves the body through excretion, its salt- and alkali-neutralizing effect persists."
"This is also the reason why the yield of our experimental field was not significantly affected even though there were no drainage ditches around it."
Director Cai was a little confused when he heard this.
"Won't this type of bacteria conflict with the body's original flora?"
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"Perhaps it's because it's a mutation of the original intestinal flora, so it doesn't conflict with the original flora."
"Because this type of rabbit is bred from our native rabbits, its reproduction speed is quite fast."
"Now the second generation of rabbits have been born and are being fed with the special feed we have appropriately increased."
"The second generation of alkali-control rabbits also inherited this ability."
"So far, there has been no evidence that any rabbit has had problems due to bacterial imbalance."
"That's why I said that we actually have no ability to interfere with the cultivation of this strain, because it all depends on the rabbits' own evolutionary abilities!"
After listening to Su Wenchen's explanation, Director Cai couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, the young are really formidable!"
"Use feed to stimulate animals, allowing their intestinal flora to mutate on their own, and then produce special bacteria that specifically solve the problem!"
“Incredible!”
"The most incredible thing is that you actually succeeded!"
"In fact, we are also discussing the use of animals such as mice and rabbits to conduct research on pathogens, immune responses, and commensal flora."
"Because this microbial targeted culture technology is cutting-edge even in the West, they haven't opened up any channels for us to collaborate."
"We can only see sporadic fragments of information in some foreign professional magazines."
"So we don't know how the West is proceeding."
"What I didn't expect was that we were completely clueless about this aspect. We were only in the discussion stage, but you guys have already put it into practical use."
"Comrade Su, you guys really taught us a lesson today!"
"For these cutting-edge technologies that others don't share, it seems we still need to focus on our own research and development."
"Otherwise, even if we discuss it extensively, the technology won't emerge on its own."
Seeing this, Su Wenchen also spoke modestly.
"We wouldn't dare to teach you anything. Our farm's research on microbial types is still in its early stages."
"There's still a lot of coincidence involved this time!"
And after seeing that Director Cai had confirmed it.
Hearing Su Wenchen's humble words, Dean Lin of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences spoke directly.
"Director Su, don't be so modest!"
"You have achievements like Yuehua Rabbit and White Pig in your field. It's not like they can be cultivated by coincidence."
"And if it can be a coincidence once, it can also be a coincidence every time!"
"From the name you gave the Alkali Rabbit, I can tell that you must have put a lot of effort into breeding it."
"However, in the past, our thinking on managing saline-alkali land has always been to think of various ways to use material resources."
"Now it seems like we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning!"
When Su Wenchen saw Dean Lin and the others showing goodwill, he also waved his hand.
"Seniors, please stop praising me!"
"If you keep praising me, I won't know which way is which."
Then he stretched out his hand to lead the way outside.
"There's actually not much to see in the rabbit house. I'll take you to the back. There's a small experimental area in the back."
"We use it to test the effects of different amounts of rabbit manure on saline-alkali soil."
“These small test plots are not like the previously harvested plots, which have already been almost completely improved, and you can’t tell the process.”
"These small plots in different stages of testing can still reflect the effects more directly."
Seeing Su Wenchen say this, although Director Cai still wanted to understand some issues about the cultivation stage of alkali rabbits.
But at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Lu Anguo was obviously more interested in the land improvement effects.
After all, they are not specialized in studying microorganisms.
For them, as long as it works well, it’s fine. As for the specific details, other professionals will naturally explore them.
Then Su Wenchen led his men out of the rabbit house.
The group braved the scorching sun and came to the small experimental area in the farm.
It is called a test area, but in fact it is just a bunch of large clay pots filled with various types of soil, which are used to test how to apply fertilizer most appropriately and effectively.
When a few people came in.
It just so happened that Hou Guozhong was leading people to apply top dressing to these experimental plots.
After walking in, looking at the long row of large pottery jars, Lu Anguo walked over and asked curiously.
"Xiao Su, can you just bury this rabbit manure in the soil?"
"Could it be that the microorganisms you mentioned can decompose salt and alkali?"
Su Wenchen thought about it and shook his head.
"Director Lu, you've really touched upon my blind spot. I really don't understand the underlying principles."
"I'm afraid this will have to be answered later by Director Cai and his team."
Hearing this, Director Cai thought that Su Wenchen was deliberately giving them face, and immediately explained with a smile.
"Director Su, you don't have to be like this. We are indeed not as good as your farm in this regard."
"But I think decomposition is still unlikely. Of course, we still need to take samples and confirm the working mode of these microbial flora before we can deduce it."
Su Wenchen felt helpless when he heard this. How could he be humble?
He really doesn't understand!
Since they didn't even have a microscope, how could he know how these microorganisms worked.
His golden finger has no effect on microorganisms.
But the more he behaved like this, the more Director Cai felt that this young man from Blue Water Farm was really humble and had already reached the stage of practical application.
Even though the results have been proven, there is still no arrogance.
As expected, they were able to breed Yuehua rabbits and white pigs, livestock breeds that are the pillars of people's livelihood, at such a young age.
A few people here are still chatting.
Qiu Ruimin, who followed in from the other side, walked towards Hou Guozhong.
After seeing Hou Guozhong applying fertilizer, he immediately gave instructions.
"Hey, why don't you ferment your rabbit manure?"
"Although rabbit manure is high-quality organic fertilizer, it can burn crops if it's not fully decomposed!"
When Hou Guozhong heard this, he looked at the other person strangely.
"Of course I know it will burn the crops, but we don't grow crops on this land!"
“We’re improving the land!”
"After the improvements are completed and crops can be planted, the fertilizer will have already been decomposed to the point where not even a residue is left."
"The topdressing and other things that will come later must be well-rotted!"
Hearing this, Qiu Ruimin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that today was a bit embarrassing. When it came to soil fertilization, he was a professional and wanted to save face.
Unexpectedly, not only did I not regain my face, but I seemed to have lost some face again.
So Qiu Ruimin didn't say much, but instead observed the pottery jars one by one.
However, as he observed more, Qiu Ruimin kept muttering to himself.
"Strange, why does this fresh rabbit droppings smell wrong?"
While saying "come this way", the other person dug the soil in the room with his hands, and kept grabbing a little and putting it to his nose to smell it.
However, Dean Lin here frowned.
This Qiu Ruimin has been finding fault with everything since he arrived, and he has been enduring this for a long time.
At first, he could use the fact that no one knew about it to excuse the other party.
When he first came here, he didn't have much hope when he saw the environment here.
So even though Qiu Ruimin's outspokenness did have some impact on him, he was not particularly angry because he already knew who the other party was.
It's more just an expression of anger.
The other party is really capable in the research on soil fertility, otherwise he wouldn't have said the wrong things so often in the hospital and still been kept here until now.
However, now even the research institute has confirmed it, what if the other party is still deliberately finding fault for the sake of face.
Then he would really have to take ruthless measures to deal with it. After all, why should he keep this person around if he keeps causing trouble in the hospital just for his own face!
So after seeing Qiu Ruimin's performance, he said in a suppressed voice.
"Old Qiu, stop causing trouble for the hospital!"
Hearing what Dean Lin said, Qiu Ruimin immediately knew that his leader was really angry.
So he quickly explained.
"Dean, you misunderstood. This is really strange!"
"They used this obviously fresh rabbit manure, but there was no ammonia smell in the soil!"
Dean Lin took a deep breath and held it in.
"So what do you want to say?"
"Are they saying this is fake rabbit poop?"
Qiu Ruimin shook his head.
"This must be rabbit manure. I've studied soil and fertilizer all my life, so I'm very familiar with rabbit manure!"
"It's because I'm familiar with it that this is strange!"
"Fresh manure generally has a strong ammonia smell. Only after it is fully decomposed will the smell become lighter or even disappear."
As he said this, he grabbed a handful of soil and handed it over.
"Leader, this is fresh, come and smell it!"
