Chapter 431 Laboratory Meeting
Su Ranran stayed at Xi’an University for two weeks. She didn’t know whether she was too busy or her classmates at Xi’an University did not pay attention to the situation in agriculture.
All in all, she spent these two weeks peacefully.
Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at the Agricultural and Forestry University, I would be almost overwhelmed by the enthusiastic students?
Li Shicheng knew that the students in the school all took Su Ranran as a role model, but he did not expect that the students would have such a big reaction when they saw Su Ranran in person!
Thinking back to the scene where so many people rushed forward just now, he couldn't help but want to wipe the sweat off his face.
Without daring to stay any longer, he quickly invited Su Ranran to the research laboratory of the Agricultural and Forestry University.
When the students saw Su Ranran leaving, they all stood on tiptoe, with regretful expressions on their faces.
The lesbian who first recognized Su Ranran was even more upset.
If she had known this, she would have secretly asked her to sign for her.
As a result, there were too many people, and not only did she get nothing, she couldn't even say a word to Su Ranran.
Su Ranran finally arrived at the experimental site and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade Su Ranran, please come this way."
A student in his early twenties was leading the way in front, while Su Ranran and Li Shicheng were walking side by side.
Before arriving at the laboratory, Li Shicheng had already given her a general introduction to the venue.
It turns out that there is also a separate laboratory in the research laboratory.
Saline-alkali rice is a research project that Li Shicheng just applied for last year. In addition to him, there are about ten people in the laboratory, three of whom look to be in their early thirties, and the rest are students.
Everyone in the lab already knew that Su Ranran was coming today, so when they saw her, they were all excited.
"Hello, Comrade Su Ranran, I've long heard of you!" Wen Qingshuang was closest to the door, and she was the first to step forward and shake hands with Su Ranran!
The others were not willing to be left behind and were all excited to shake hands with Su Ranran!
"Hello!"
Although this was not the first time she had encountered such a scene, Su Ranran was still very moved.
She held out her hands and shook them one by one.
Seeing how approachable she was, the people present became more and more fond of her.
People at the Agricultural and Forestry University are originally engaged in agricultural research, so they naturally pay special attention to agricultural news.
Therefore, they would not question Su Ranran's research achievements just because of her appearance.
After all, last year's bumper harvest of saline-alkaline rice in the northwest was reported in the newspapers.
Everyone in the laboratory was devoted to research. After a brief acquaintance, they couldn't wait to discuss the issue of salt-alkali wheat selection with Su Ranran.
It turned out that they had tried to grow wheat in semi-saline land last year in order to select suitable seeds.
But the effect is not ideal.
In preliminary experiments, a large number of seedlings died in the semi-saline soil, and the regreening rate was particularly low.
As a last resort, Li Shicheng had to seek help from Su Ranran, who already had successful experience.
Su Ranran has also published papers on the research of saline-alkali rice.
However, wheat and rice are not the same thing after all, and their habits are also different.
Fortunately, the selection for salt and alkali tolerance is the same.
"We now have gene sequencers that can be used to directly screen seeds, which can improve the efficiency of seed selection."
Since there are already ready-made high-tech means, it is impossible for Su Ranran to go far away and take the risk of using things in the space.
When everyone heard Su Ranran mention the sequencer, they looked embarrassed.
"Comrade Su Ranran, to be honest, it's not that we don't want to use the sequencer, it's just that it's in great demand right now, the order book is full, and we can't order it now."
According to inside information, this thing is very expensive to export abroad, which means it is relatively cheap to buy it in their own country.
But even so, it would cost them more than half of their budget, and they still couldn't get anything.
Since Su Ranran mentioned the matter of the sequencer, there must be a solution.
"Don't worry about the sequencer. I can order one for you."
Hearing that she could help them get the sequencer, everyone in the laboratory suddenly became excited again!
"Comrade Su Ranran, can you really help us get one?"
Tian Wenlong asked in disbelief,
Last year they tried many ways to get an order but were unable to. They had many orders from home and abroad, and due to insufficient production capacity, they could only wait in line.
Su Ranran nodded and said, "It should be fine. I'll talk to the factory about it."
Without mentioning her friendship with Li Jianye, it was she who provided the drawings of the sequencer, so it was not difficult to order one.
However, other people didn’t know that the drawing was from Su Ranran. Although they were excited, they were still a little skeptical.
Su Ranran did not explain and continued to discuss the problems they encountered in growing saline-alkali wheat.
As she was an expert in saline-alkali rice, she quickly found out the problems in their planting.
"Spring is the season of high salt levels. During this period, the salt content of the soil will also increase greatly. If wheat happens to be in the green period at this time, it is easy for large areas to die. My suggestion is to plant in advance so that the wheat seedlings can germinate as early as possible."
An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look!
Although everyone present was an expert at growing wheat, they were only just beginning to understand saline-alkali soil.
Seeing that Su Ranran pointed out the problems in their planting very directly, everyone present was full of admiration!
"Comrade Su Ranran is indeed worthy of her reputation! I admire her completely!"
Wen Qingshuang couldn't help but praise him again and again.
Don’t be fooled by their young age, but when it comes to growing crops in saline-alkaline land, one has to admire their skills.
"I don't deserve it! I just happened to learn a little bit, I can't compare to the professionalism of you teachers."
Seeing that she was still so humble, everyone liked her even more.
"Comrade Su Ranran is a rare talent. It's a pity that she didn't come to our school."
Tian Wenlong said with some regret.
But everyone else agreed that it would be a good idea for Su Ranran to be a professor at their school.
Being a student is a waste of talent.
However, the school has no precedent of high school students becoming professors, so if I really come to their school, I don’t know how to arrange it.
Su Ranran felt helpless about the fact that she ended up going to Xida University by mistake.
But now that she is here, she might as well make the best of it. She has actually gotten used to the new campus life.
"Although I didn't get into your school, we can still communicate with each other in the future."
When others heard this, they agreed.
After all, she will come to their laboratory every week, which is a great thing for their research.
A few people chatted in the laboratory for a while, and then went to the saline-alkali field to check the wheat planting situation.
After taking a careful tour of the saline-alkali land, Su Ranran and Li Shicheng discussed the problems that arose in the planting of this batch of wheat.
The people who were following along all picked up their pens and notebooks and started taking notes quickly.
As soon as Dean Feng Zhaoxing arrived at the experimental field, he saw a young female comrade holding a withered wheat seedling in her hand and talking to Li Shicheng.
And they were surrounded by a circle of people who were listening attentively and taking notes!
"Dean! That's Comrade Su Ranran!"
Said the middle-aged man who was about 34 years old and standing next to him.
Although they had already received the news that Su Ranran had come to their school.
But when he actually saw the person, Feng Zhaoxing was still shocked!
It's because she looks younger in person than she does in the newspapers.
"Let's go! Let's go check it out!"
As he said that, he led a few people forward!
