Chapter 264 Hybridization Technology Abandoned
Because food is the foundation of a country and the most important strategic material, if the information provided by Lin Sanqi is accurate, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to my country's food supply.
Not to mention increasing the national grain output tenfold, even if it were to increase fivefold, our country’s food shortage problem would be solved immediately.
Lin Sanqi, who provided this information, is definitely a great contributor to the Republic, and it would be no problem for him to be worshipped by the people.
But what I'm afraid of is that this so-called hybridization technology is a conspiracy? Is it a means for European and American countries to subvert our country through the hands of Lin Sanqi?
If we then excitedly spread the problematic hybrid seeds, resulting in a nationwide grain failure, the country would immediately be in chaos.
As a senior cadre, President Liu Shengli had to be extremely cautious and careful.
If serious and irreversible consequences really occur, as the person who handed the case over, Liu Shengli will also be in trouble and it would not be an exaggeration to shoot him a hundred times.
But when he thought about our country's current miserable food supply and the miserable lives of the people, Liu Shengli hoped in his heart that all this was true.
Lin Sanqi didn't know the inner struggle of Dean Liu, he was very excited now.
He thought that he had finally given back to this era, a full 40 million RMB. If it was a year ago, he could not have imagined that he could come up with so much money.
Dean Liu finally moved and asked seriously:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, where did you get this hybridization technology? Can you tell me?"
"President Liu, I can't tell you where this technology came from, but our country has many overseas institutions. You can study hybrids while inquiring about the application of this technology abroad. I think this kind of thing is also easy to find out.
In addition, I also got some hybrid grains. Look, these boxes are corn seeds, these boxes are wheat seeds, and this is a rice hybrid. You can find a place to experiment first to see the yield and quality.
Anyway, the data I know is that the yield of this hybrid corn seed is about 1,500 kilograms per mu, which is 20 times higher than our current yield of 150 kilograms. Anyway, I was very jealous when I heard it. "
Dean Liu's heartbeat quickened after hearing this. He really wanted to shout to the sky. It would be great if this technology was real.
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, as far as you know, are there any shortcomings of this hybrid seed?"
Lin Sanqi clapped his hands at this time and said:
"Oh yes, there are disadvantages. The disadvantage is that this hybrid seed can only be planted once a year and cannot be saved, so new seeds need to be provided every year."
Liu Shengli was filled with questions: "Is there such a thing? We can't even save seeds? Would the food produced from this be harmful to the human body?"
Lin Sanqi thought that the food on the market in 2013 was either hybrid technology or genetically modified, and he didn't seem to have heard of any adverse reactions, which meant that the technology should be credible.
Hybrid grains, in particular, almost occupy the entire grain market.
"President Liu, think about it, foreigners eat hybrid grains, and they're not afraid. This shows that this technology must be mature, harmless, and trustworthy."
Dean Liu gently patted a few wooden boxes with his hands, thought for a long time, and decided to take a risk. After all, the temptation was too great.
"Okay, Comrade Lin Sanqi, I'll hand over all this information and the seeds to the relevant departments. If it really increases production as you said, you've done a great deed today that benefits both the country and the people. It cost a lot of money, didn't it? Haha."
Dean Liu is testing me.
Lin Sanqi really wanted to say, "I spent a full 40 million. Will you reimburse me? I have the contract and the invoice."
"It's true I spent a lot of money, and I owe a lot of people face. But Dean Liu, you promised not to pursue, investigate, or settle scores later, so please allow me to keep it a secret. In short, I've lost everything for these materials and seeds."
Upon hearing this, Dean Liu was filled with awe: "For our motherland!"
Lin Sanqi also answered seriously: "For our motherland!"
The grain and the complete set of hybridization technology information in the warehouse were quickly shipped away. Lin Sanqi thought happily that from now on, our country should no longer be short of food, right?
Unfortunately, the happy ending that appeared in the novel did not happen as he expected.
These hybridization technologies were indeed known to higher authorities and transferred to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
However, everyone from top to bottom is treating this brand-new technology with caution, conducting careful research, and verifying it over time.
All the seeds that Lin Sanqi brought were later planted, and the grain yield increased tenfold. However, because the seeds could not be saved, the relevant departments still felt that it was unreliable and had unknown risks, and whether it would be harmful to the body.
Some people even believe that if we eat crops that cannot be used for breeding, we will not be able to have children in the future, and that our country and race will be destroyed. This is completely a conspiracy of European and American countries. Lin Sanqi, who provided this technology, is despicable and should be arrested and shot.
Lin Sanqi himself didn't realize it, he almost had a close call with death.
It has to be said that the country was still quite conservative in the 1960s. Of course, we cannot say that this attitude was wrong. Just like in 2013, people were also full of doubts and anxieties about genetically modified technology.
It is a pity that our country did not promote the higher-yield hybrid technology during the three most difficult years for grain production, and missed a good opportunity to ensure that the people of the whole country had enough food.
After a few years, the buzz started and no one cared about this so-called hybrid technology.
Our country has not become the most developed country in hybrid technology through this black technology that is decades ahead of its time. The course of history has not changed because of the sudden appearance of Lin Sanqi.
Our country's hybrid rice technology ultimately depends on the scientists of Yuan Shikai's generation...
Of course, this is a story for later. When Lin Sanqi was humming a little tune and driving a big truck loaded with hybrid seeds back to Changping Farm, he found that the road in front of the farm was jammed with traffic.
There were cars, donkey carts, horse carts, handcarts, etc., which blocked the road and made it difficult to pass.
The farm's architectural layout faces a road to the south. To the north of the road is the Changping Branch of the Chinese Medicine Hospital (farm). After passing the gate is a "mouth"-shaped outpatient building, which belongs to the hospital.
The farm area is located behind the outpatient building, where staff dormitories, warehouses, etc. are located. Further back are vast tracts of farmland, extending all the way to the Yanshan Mountains.
Traffic jams were absolutely a rare thing in 1960. Not to mention the countryside of Changping, even in the old city there were no traffic jams. There was no need for traffic lights. Traffic police just had to blow their whistles to direct traffic.
This filled Lin Sanqi with curiosity. He turned off the truck and beckoned to Shao Lecheng, the head of the security department, who was on duty at the door.
"Chief Shao, what's going on?"
Shao Lecheng smiled and said, "What's going on? Hey, this is all because of you."
Lin Sanqi was surprised. "What does it have to do with me? I haven't been in the hospital recently."
"A few nights ago, you brought down a child's fever in half an hour. Remember that?"
"Ah, that's what happened!"
"After returning home, this parent spread rumors about you. Now, all the adults and children with fevers in Changping have been sent to our hospital. Do you think it's because of you?"
Lin Sanqi understood, this is the advertising effect.
The child mortality rate is actually quite high these days. Pneumonia or a high fever can take a child's life.
Now a large hospital suddenly moved from the urban area to Changping, and the doctors in the hospital have special medicines. Word of this spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Before liberation, there were several private clinics in Changping County.
After liberation, it was not allowed to open, so Changping County Hospital was established. There were only two or three doctors, and they still followed the traditional Chinese medicine route. The level of their practice was just so-so.
This is also the reason why the child who had convulsions that night was not sent to Changping County Hospital, but to the Changping Branch of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Lin Sanqi looked at the many vehicles in front of the hospital and was a little confused:
"That doesn't make sense. This isn't a children's hospital. If the roads are blocked, it means there are quite a few patients. How could there be so many children with fevers all of a sudden?"
Shao Lecheng thought about it and said, "Yeah, that's a bit strange. It's spring now, could there be some kind of plague spreading?"
In 2013, Lin Sanqi was unable to take the medical license exam because he did not have a university degree, which ended his chances of becoming a doctor.
But those who have studied in medical university for five years must be unwilling and feel frustrated.
In addition, after traveling to this era, he cured patients several times with good results, which made Lin Sanqi start to swell.
Since there was no need for a medical license in 1960, he was itching to become a doctor.
"Chief Shao, my truck is full of grain seeds. They are very valuable. We must not let them be stolen. Please drive away immediately. I will go to the outpatient clinic to check."
"Okay, go ahead!"
When Lin Sanqi ran into the hospital outpatient department, he felt like his eardrums were about to explode. When hundreds of children cried together, it felt like tens of thousands of ducks were quacking.
The characteristic of pediatrics is that when a child cries, the disease will spread to a large area immediately.
When a child cries particularly miserably, the doctor has a headache. Not only is it difficult to hear clearly during auscultation, but the key is that working in such a noisy and chaotic environment all day is a huge test of physical strength and energy.
So when Lin Sanqi found Pan Ye busy examining her child in the outpatient clinic, her hair was disheveled and she looked very haggard.
This made Lin Sanqi very distressed. He thought, I haven't been here for a few days, and my girlfriend who used to be pure and innocent has become like this? Was she being bullied in the hospital by a workplace bully?
How dare someone bully the director's adopted daughter-in-law, the last disciple of twelve old national treasures, and Section Chief Lin's girlfriend? How audacious was this?
So Lin Sanqi squeezed into the crowd and came to Pan Ye angrily:
"How many hours have you been working?"
