"Yes, I know that. And even if they don't have that ability, I can cultivate it in them." Xiao Jiu's understanding of ants far surpasses that of Yun Duo, so when she talked about this, Xiao Jiu's voice became confident again.
“That gives me even more confidence!” Yun Duo said to Xiao Jiu with a smile.
"When Mr. Yuan first started, he made all the technology of hybrid rice public. Although I don't understand the specifics, I still know some of the general theoretical basis."
"It involves using male-sterile wild rice plants as the female parent, and then using maintainer lines and restorer lines for selective breeding."
"Of course, I don't really understand anything about male-infertile maternal lines, or maintainer lines or restorer lines. I only know the general idea, but I don't know how to actually operate them."
"But I don't understand, there are always people in this world who do understand."
"Humans share many commonalities."
"There are good people, bad people, selfish people, selfless people, and people who are passionate about all kinds of scientific research."
"I believe that there will also be agricultural scientists who are passionate about agriculture and dedicated to increasing agricultural production and eliminating hunger."
"As long as we can throw out a suitable brick, I believe it will eventually attract a treasure."
"Simply put, as long as we can significantly increase our food production, it will definitely attract people who are interested in it."
“If we attract bad people, we are just ordinary folks. They certainly won’t believe that we know anything about agricultural science. So, if we can grow high-yield crops, it’s either because of luck, the land, or the seeds.”
"Luck is something you can have once or twice, but you can't have it twice. As for seeds and land... even if they want to seize our seeds and land, even if it's for reputation and influence, they will at least offer a price. At least if we exchange grain, or seeds, or land for a normal price, we won't lose out."
"Those who truly understand the matter will try to figure out the real reason."
"At that time, we'll just pick one of those people who are trying to figure out the real reason to be our partner."
"As for how to grow high-yield grains..."
"I think we can try to grow hybrid rice using a simple method. It may not be suitable for widespread application, but it is definitely something we can do."
"You know, rice is monoecious. As I said before, the most fundamental aspect of hybrid rice is the male-sterile plant. We can't find male-sterile rice plants for the time being, but... we can use bees and ants to suppress the male flowers of rice plants, creating male-sterile rice plants through artificial means, and then use other high-quality rice varieties for pollination to produce grains similar to hybrid rice."
"As long as we operate properly, even if we don't succeed in every operation, we should be able to increase rice yield."
"In fact, we don't need to go through all that trouble. We just need to get the bees to consciously cross-pollinate the two different varieties of rice. No matter how many are successful, even if it's only a third, it should still increase the rice yield. If the yield per acre can be increased by 100 jin, I believe that will be enough to attract the attention of some people who care about this area."
