Chapter 287 Study hard!
Mr. Pan and Mr. Ge were watching the emergence of this year's new seeds when they heard some noise behind them. They both couldn't help but look behind them, and saw a large group of people coming over, bringing three machines.
The two large tillers and seed drills can be driven over directly, but the seed drill operated by one person has to be carried by someone.
But it wasn't very heavy, and the two workers seemed to be lifting it easily.
Ye Mu walked in front and looked at the fields here. They should be the fields planned for the research institute after consultation with the farmers, so there are traces of spring plowing.
“You are…?”
Old Pan and Old Ge, who were holding seedlings and planning to go to the fields to plant, couldn't help but look at Ye Mu.
Ye Mu didn't know which one was Mr. Ge and which one was Mr. Pan. He was about to step forward to greet the two old gentlemen first when Liang Xiangjun, who followed behind him, introduced the two parties to them first.
"This is a new researcher in the institute, but he is just a figurehead and has not joined the institute. Comrade Ye Xiao works as a technician in the machinery factory and is more knowledgeable about agricultural machinery."
"Today we are here to test the farm machinery she brought. If Mr. Ge and Mr. Pan are interested, they can go and have a look. They are seed drills and tillage machines."
"I have something else to arrange, so I can't accompany you for now." Liang Xiangjun said and walked back.
Elder Ge and Elder Pan looked at Ye Mu, and asked in surprise, "You can research agricultural machinery?"
Ye Mu pointed at the machine that the worker had just driven past and said, "Wouldn't it be okay for the two old gentlemen to accompany me to see the effect?"
"Can you plant my seedlings with your seed drill?"
Ye Mu shook his head: "No."
Old Pan looked at the tiller that had already entered the field and was waiting for Ye Mu, and said, "Let's see how the tillage works first."
So the three of them went together. Ye Mu had never planted or plowed a field before, but he had consulted many farmers before coming to S Province. Although this tiller was used in the field for the first time, the soil turned over in the field showed that the field had been carefully cultivated by the previous owner.
However, the effect of the machine can still be seen.
"Start." Ye Mu stood on the edge of the field and said to the workers on the machine.
The worker drove the tiller forward, and then the three of them squatted at the edge to take a look at the results and the situation.
The turbid water was mixed with mud. Both Ge Lao and Pan Lao reached into the field to feel the mud, then probed the depth. They looked around and said,
"The tillage was even and deep enough."
"The roots that weren't cleaned up were also broken. Not bad, not bad."
"Girl, come and try planting those rice seedlings of yours." Seeing that the tiller had been plowing the field back and forth and was gradually moving away from them and reaching the middle of the field, the water in the field here was gradually becoming clearer. Old Pan said to Ye Mu, holding his seedlings in his hand.
Ye Mu nodded. She originally came to see the effect of this big machine.
So she asked someone to come down and she got on the machine, then drove to the field. Then she put her yellow and uneven rice seedlings, along with the special containers for raising seedlings, on the seeder.
Elder Pan and Elder Ge looked at her seedlings and could not help but said with sorrow:
"How did you get these seedlings? If the yield is poor after planting, should we blame your machine or your seedlings?"
Ye Mu took a look and explained, "It's my first time farming, I'm not familiar with it."
I don't know what expressions Pan and Ge had on their faces. It was their first time farming, and they were working with agricultural machinery.
What is going on?
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that the agricultural machinery Ye Mu brought was something they had never seen before and was indeed easy to use. This was something that was made by someone who had never farmed before.
Machinery and cultivated land. She had never farmed before, but to work on agricultural machinery, she must have an incomparable understanding of the machines. Otherwise, she would never be able to make such good agricultural machinery with only some paper-based abilities and knowledge!
Ye Mu started sowing seeds on the seeder. Elder Pan and Elder Ge looked at the neatly arranged and reasonably spaced seedlings and nodded:
"Good! Not bad."
After planting, we just need to wait until this afternoon and tomorrow to see how many of them float up and are unlikely to survive.
"The seedlings are too short. We need to water the field."
The rice seedlings that Ye Mu brought were obviously too shallow, and most of them had been flooded. This was not conducive to the growth of the newly planted rice seedlings, so some water had to be added.
But you can't put too much, this is a paddy field, not a dry field.
After Ye Mu finished planting, he opened and closed the sowing machine, drove the seeder out of the field, and ran over to see the situation.
So far, it seems to be pretty good. At least it doesn’t float up just after being planted for ten minutes.
"This machine is great. Okay, let's plant our seedlings in the field."
Old Pan said to Ye Mu with appreciation, and then he and Old Ge went back to work on their own things.
Compared with the seniors from the F Province Research Institute, these two people are not as active. When Ye Mu is around them, he can feel that the atmosphere is not as active as that in F Province.
Both of them were very serious, didn't talk much, and didn't do much small talk.
Ye Mu followed over to help, and Shen Yanzhi followed the three of them. He felt embarrassed to just stand there, so he also helped and planted vegetable seedlings on a piece of land.
With his hands full of mud, Ye Mu went to the edge of the field to wash his hands, then he rubbed the mud in the field and said to Shen Yan:
"It seems that no fertilizer has been added. But this is just an experimental sowing, so there is no rush. We can add fertilizer later."
Chen Yan said: "Let's talk about it in a few days, otherwise these rice seedlings may not survive."
If the current fertilizer is just spread directly, it may cause harm to the newly planted rice seedlings. At least the rice seedlings must be confirmed to survive in the field.
Ye Mu nodded and said, "No hurry, wait until the dean has repaired the research institute. I will list the research equipment and raw materials needed and give them to him."
Shen Yanzhi looked at her and said, "It's okay to give it to me."
Ye Mu raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Yanzhi. Chen Yanzhi looked into her beautiful phoenix eyes and said:
"Agriculture depends on the season. If you are late, the research effect will not be achieved. If the research institute is not well managed and your performance is restricted, you can go to the place I rent. I have already cleaned it and made room for you."
"As long as it's not a particularly large research machine, I can find a way to get it in."
In other words, he could give her special training so that she wouldn't have to wait for the research institute and could start her own research first.
Shen Yanzhi lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it. The worker who was looking after the machine saw the two of them squatting there and couldn't help but call them.
"Technician Ye, Technician Shen, are you going to plow the other fields?"
Although two people were called, everyone looked at Ye Mu. They all knew that between Technician Ye and Technician Shen, Technician Shen had to listen to Technician Ye just like them.
Although Technician Shen looks like a tall man, he is just an apprentice of Technician Ye. This time, Technician Ye is the only one who is guiding the operation of the agricultural machinery, and Technician Shen can only do odd jobs.
Everyone was surprised at first, but later they got used to it. This young girl knew an extraordinary amount.
They were so busy under her command that they were dizzy, but as they watched the machine gradually take shape and become usable, they felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
Now it’s time to officially go to the fields, and everyone is in high spirits.
"Try to cultivate the land instead of tilling the fields." Ye Mu said to them.
The machine she designed was originally for tilling fields, and it’s working pretty well for tilling fields now, but of course we have to see how it performs for turning the soil.
She stood up and said to Shen Yan:
"Since you've said that, I won't be polite."
Mr. Ge and Mr. Pan watched the machine turning the soil and nodded.
The noise is not too loud, the soil is turned over deeply, and the effect is very good.
Ye Mu looked at it for a while and thought it was ok, so he told the master to leave. Before leaving, he said to Ge Lao and Pan Lao:
"I see you two have some vegetable seedlings. Can you keep them so I can try out the new seed drill?"
After listening to what Mr. Ge and Mr. Pan said, she came up with new ideas.
Elder Ge and Elder Pan looked at each other and nodded simply:
"Of course. But are you going to modify your seed drill?"
"The seed drill is pretty good. We can only see the results tomorrow. Why are you in such a hurry to change it?"
It was the first time for the two of them to see someone so anxious to do research. Research on new machines cannot be rushed. One has to slowly observe the results and then make improvements based on the situation.
You can’t come up with new technology in a hurry. To be an inventor you need to be patient.
Although the dean told them that Ye Mu's main occupation was a technician, since he was registered in the research institute, it would be only a matter of time for the two of them that Ye Mu would enter the institute.
Doesn’t this “nominal name” mean to learn first?
This young comrade seems quite calm, so why is he so anxious when doing things?
Ye Mu explained: "No, this will not be changed for the time being. I want to design a seed drill that can be used without the matching container for seedling cultivation."
Moreover, this type of seeder is supposed to be more suitable for current needs.
After all, the seedling raising season is over now.
Ye Mu originally wanted to design this, but after designing several models, he always felt that they were not suitable, so when he arrived at the machinery factory, he did not start to build such a machine.
I just spent some time farming with Mr. Ge and the others, and suddenly I had a new idea.
"There is no time to lose. I'm going back to the machinery factory first." Ye Mu said to them, then told the workers to leave.
The agricultural machinery was temporarily placed in the research institute. Liang Xiangjun found a room specifically for it and locked the door.
After all, it is new agricultural machinery and cannot be left alone.
When Ye Mu was leaving, he met Elder Ge and Elder Pan who had returned at the entrance of the research institute, so he nodded to the two seniors and said:
"I'll come back after I invent a new seed drill. I'd like to ask you two old gentlemen to help me keep an eye on the rice seedlings in the field. If it doesn't work, call the machinery factory and ask them to bring the seed drill back so I can modify it."
Mr. Ge nodded seriously and said, "We'll keep the remaining seedlings for you."
It was enough for them to cultivate that small piece of land, mainly to cultivate new and high-quality seeds and increase vegetable production.
But you can't just plant a large area blindly.
Especially since the two of them haven't been involved in this area for a long time, they are still not sure.
Watching Ye Mu and his men leave, both Ge and Pan thought that if there was no problem with the rice seedlings planted by the seeder, it would probably take a while before they could see Ye Mu again.
I don’t know if Ye Mu will still be able to use those seedlings when the time comes.
They both felt that it would be better to let Ye Mu wait for time to grow the seedlings again.
If there is no problem by then, this seeder is not suitable for sowing at the moment.
We have to wait until next year, and the tillage machine will be of little use. By this time, the farmland has basically been cultivated.
This is the area allocated to the research institute. It was planned early and only a small amount was built to provide space for Ye Mu to conduct machine experiments.
The next day, Ye Mu did not go to the research institute, but he did not receive any call from Liang Xiangjun all day, so Ye Mu was completely relieved.
With the new idea, Ye Mu naturally implemented it immediately. He spent several days to make the new seeder. After a careful inspection, he took people to the research institute.
When Elder Pan and Elder Ge saw her, they were stunned for a moment, thinking that she was here to see the rice seedlings. They said:
"Although the rice seedlings themselves don't look good, the machines have grown them very well and they are all alive. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Ye Mu said: "Let me try the seedling machine I mentioned before."
Elder Ge and Elder Pan looked at each other and said, "So fast?"
Then he looked at the machine again and realized that Ye Mu had already made a seed drill. This seedling machine only lacked a matching cultivation container. It didn't seem to be very difficult?
They are not researching agricultural machinery, but are doing research on seed breeding optimization.
So that's the only thing I can think of.
Ye Mu said: "Yes, this is not very difficult."
As she spoke, she went to the seedlings the two men had left for her and began to carefully pull out each seedling with its roots from the loose soil and place them on the seedling machine.
This step is more troublesome than using the previous seed drill, but it is easier than planting one by one in the field like farmers do.
There were not many seedlings left, so after putting them all up, we started planting the seedlings in the land that had been plowed previously with a tiller.
Whether it is covering the seedlings with soil or digging the holes, everything is done very well.
Mr. Pan and Mr. Ge’s eyes lit up. This machine is so convenient!
But soon, they discovered the problem. This machine could only achieve such good results on the land that Ye Mu had previously cultivated with a tiller.
It is possible to grow crops well, but it is not possible for farmers today to buy two agricultural machines at once.
After Ye Mu got off the seedling machine, Mr. Pan said:
"This seedling machine is very successful! Although there are land restrictions, I think if farmers can turn the land into smaller pieces, they can also use this seedling machine."
Ye Mu understood what he meant and said with a smile, "There is actually another way to plant seedlings, which is to cover the soil from inside the machine, but the soil must be put into the machine in advance. In addition, I added this function to apply fertilizer while planting seedlings."
Ye Mu demonstrated it to them on the machine. Neither of them expected that this seedling machine actually had more than one function.
"This machine is really cleverly designed. But can you control the amount of fertilizer when applying it? If you can't control the amount, too much fertilizer will cause the seedlings to die early."
fertilizer?
Ye Mu looked at the vegetable seedlings and rice seedlings in the field and asked, "Senior, did you use chemical fertilizers for my rice seedlings? I actually want to use the culture solution fertilizer I made myself."
"Cultivation liquid fertilizer?"
The two of them expressed confusion in unison and said they had never heard of this thing.
Mr. Pan asked, "You mean you want to do fertilizer research?"
Isn’t this Technician Ye working with agricultural machinery?
Ye Mu nodded: "Yes. I want to use my rice seedlings to do experiments."
Mr. Ge understood what she meant and thought she seemed a little joking by switching from agricultural machinery to fertilizer research.
But they don't understand fertilizer research. They are engaged in seed research, so it's hard to say more. Ge Lao said:
"The person who does fertilizer research will come to the institute in a few days. You can ask him then."
"Since you want to try the new fertilizer, we won't help you fertilize the seedlings you planted. If you don't come, just ask the people from the research institute to water them for you."
The research institute has not been repaired yet and they are quite idle.
"Thank you, both seniors." Ye Mu thanked them graciously. Seeing her calm and indifferent expression, Old Pan changed his words and said, "Study hard. You designed the agricultural machinery very well. This seedling machine can still be used today."
"As for fertilizers, since you are interested, come and study hard in a few days. If you can't learn well, you can design agricultural machinery."
Although this young comrade is a woman, she has come twice and the agricultural machinery she brought both times was quite successful, with low noise, high efficiency and good survival rate. It is obvious that she is capable.
Since she is interested in switching to fertilizers, even though machinery and fertilizers are not closely related, Mr. Pan estimates that she must have some basic knowledge of them, otherwise she would not act so recklessly.
It is not the right thing for an old guy like him to spoil the fun of young comrades. He should be happy that Ye Mu is so active in research.
The farm machinery was done, and Ye Mu went home that day and sat at his desk writing documents.
This time, I was not drawing mechanical design drawings, but rather sheets of research information on culture media and various data and symbols.
