Chapter 110 They will become witnesses of history!
"Team...Team leader."
The other researchers in the group also looked at Shen Ling in disbelief.
Shen Ling tried to calm himself down and ordered, "Still eating, don't eat the tomatoes, bring them here for testing quickly."
Speaking of.
He first placed the half-eaten tomato on the detector.
When the team members saw the test results, they no longer dared to eat the tomatoes in their hands.
They all wished they could vomit out what they had eaten and return the food to its original state.
The half-eaten and uneaten food were all brought over and tested one by one.
Everyone stared at the display screen with heated eyes.
Two minutes later.
A total of 25 tomatoes, both eaten and uneaten, have been tested and the mutation rate is between 0.2% and 0.25%.
The researchers were so excited that they felt like they were dreaming: "Team leader, did the previous batch of potato and sweet potato seeds also come from this base?"
Shen Ling tried to calm himself down and said, “What we can be sure of now is that the mutation rate of this batch of tomatoes is extremely low. They are the high-quality seeds we have been committed to researching.
As for the previous batch of seeds, it is not certain where they came from. ”
"They must be together." The researchers nodded confidently and put their hands together and prayed: "It must be, it must be!"
Shen Ling looked at their surprised and excited faces, and said solemnly: "You also know the importance of this matter to our Academy of Agricultural Sciences and our entire base. Before it is confirmed, no one is allowed to leak a word. Don't leave the class, come with me to see the dean."
if.
He said that if the previous batch of seeds, like the current tomatoes, came from Liuhe’s planting base, then the significance would be enormous.
This really saved the entire base from food shortage and really enabled everyone in the entire base to achieve the great goal of having enough food to eat.
Two hours later.
Zhou Jian and Zhou Qi, who had already fallen asleep, heard a knock on the door.
The two thought it was Lu Liuhe who came back, and ran to open the door excitedly, but they saw Shen Ling's excited face.
Shen Ling saw that there were only the two of them and didn’t see Lu Liuhe, so he asked, “Where’s your sister?”
Zhou Jian didn't know what was wrong with him, and said, "Sister Liuhe is not at the base."
Shen Ling frowned: "Why isn't she going home so late?"
Zhou Jian didn't reply, but looked at the person following him with some vigilance.
There were seven people in total. The one in the middle was an old man with gray hair and a vigorous spirit.
Shen Ling then realized that coming here so late, in such a hurry, and with so many people, must have scared the children, so he quickly introduced them: "These are the members of my group, you have seen them before."
Then.
He looked at the old man again: "This is the president of our Ninth Base Agricultural Science Academy, President Zhu Xingji."
Dean Zhu showed them his ID with a amiable smile and explained gently, "Don't be afraid. We came here mainly because we detected that the tomatoes grown in your base are high-quality seeds with a very low mutation rate.
We want to see if the same is true for other crops you grow. ”
Zhou Jian finally felt relieved after hearing this.
She was very happy that the tomatoes she grew were recognized and praised by authoritative agricultural experts.
Zhou Qi's eyes also became sparkling.
Even the president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences came in person, and he came in the middle of the night, which shows that the tomatoes they grow are really good and have won the attention of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Sister Liuhe will definitely be very happy if she knows this.
Dean Zhu asked with a smile: "Then can we test other crops in your base now?"
Zhou Jian nodded.
The director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is leading the team personally. Even if Sister Liuhe were here, she would definitely welcome them to come for testing.
Shen Ling quickly asked the team to get ready and do the mutation rate test.
Every member of the group was very excited and felt as if they were light as a feather when they walked.
If the mutation rate of all plants in this base can be maintained below 0.25%, the base's long-standing food shortage problem can be solved.
This is a landmark event for the entire base and a monument in the history of agricultural science and technology.
And they will be the first group of people to witness history!
Shen Ling and Dean Zhu also followed and participated in the testing in person.
They must verify for themselves whether the seeds in the entire base have the same mutation rate as tomatoes.
An hour later.
All crops in the No. 3 and No. 5 planting bases under Lu Liuhe's name have completed mutation rate testing.
Dean Zhu squatted on the ground, looking at the neatly arranged corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and various vegetables, with tears in his eyes, and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good!"
Three consecutive "good" words were enough to show his excitement, surprise, and excitement at the moment.
Shen Ling said: “Among the crops in the No. 3 planting field, only the No. 1 test field has a mutation rate of 0.2%, while the others are at a normal level of about 3%.
The mutation rate of crops in Planting Base No. 5 is maintained below 0.25.
I guess it's because of the soil. ”
Dean Zhu nodded and wiped the tears from his eyes. His voice was a little hoarse due to excessive excitement and agitation: "Call the children and ask them where they bought their soil, their seeds, and all the medicines they used."
When they tested Planting Base No. 3 and found only Experimental Field No. 1 that met their criteria, he almost couldn't hold on.
The feeling of seeing hope and then watching it shatter before your eyes is the most torturous, cruel, and devastating.
Fortunately, at Planting Base No. 5, the mutation rate of all crops is below 0.25, making them absolutely excellent crops and seeds!
Zhou Jian and Zhou Qi, who were taught very well by Lu Liuhe, were serving water to the team members.
After being called over.
They could both clearly describe how much medicine and water were used and how often they were used, and they could even produce records to show them.
As for the soil and seeds, the two of them didn't know that it was Lu Liuhe who took care of it.
Dean Zhu smiled and asked, "What about your sister?"
Zhou Jian said: "I have been out at the base collecting soil and seed samples for a month."
Shen Ling was a little confused and didn't quite understand.
Dean Zhu understood, and asked incredulously, "Did you leave the Ninth Base and go to the wild?"
Zhou Jian nodded.
Shen made people numb.
He thought he was going out, but he was actually leaving the private planting base, and he was still in the ninth base.
But what he never expected was that she, a planter, left the Ninth Base and went into the wild to collect plant and soil samples.
Dean Zhu was much calmer than him. Their Agricultural Science Academy also had to go out regularly to collect samples. He asked her, "Who did you go out with? Did you say how long you would be out and when you would be back?"
Zhou Jian shook his head: "I don't know."
Shen Ling's brain exploded, his heart hanging in his throat, he looked at Dean Zhu: "Dean, find someone quickly, she must not get into trouble!"
