Yun Duo made a vow in her heart once again to help Zhou Linong find a male-sterile wild rice plant, and the task of carrying out this task fell to Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu's abilities seem to increase over time, which is also related to the number of ant and bee genes he has extracted. He can now travel a longer radius away from the clouds, and his control over bee and ant colonies is more refined. This is very helpful in finding wild male-sterile rice plants.
However... this thing is really too rare. Even Xiao Jiu, with countless ant and bee colonies to guide it, spent nearly two years to find the wild sterile rice plant.
When Yun Duo handed the male wild sterile rice plant to Zhou Linong, Zhou Linong was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He swore that once the project succeeded, Yun Duo would definitely be credited.
Yun Duo didn't say anything to refuse, and even tried her best to follow Zhou Linong and be his "unofficial" assistant, occasionally putting forward some "feasible" and "constructive" ideas.
Of course, this was actually the main reason why Yun Duo followed Zhou Linong. She had to find a way to bring up what she knew. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if Zhou Linong took a wrong turn, but she really couldn't bear to see the people go hungry for two more years.
With Yun Duo's involvement, Zhou Linong's research on hybrid rice progressed much more smoothly. In the year Yun Duo turned thirteen, the first batch of highly promising hybrid rice varieties, which significantly increased yields compared to ordinary traditional rice, was officially released. The world was shocked! The attention of the world's elite was piqued.
Just as the powerful (and thieving) countries led by the United States were preparing to repeat their old tricks and force China to hand over its hybrid rice technology, China's first "mushroom egg" (a metaphor for a highly invasive species) successfully exploded in the northern border region. Immediately, condemnations poured in like snowflakes, but the wolves stopped their eager attempts to seize the spoils.
Even the puppet seats in the Co-Government Council, after their cautious attempts to test the waters were suppressed by His Majesty the King with extremely forceful measures, have fallen into an eerie silence.
However, there was jubilation throughout China.
Whether they were ambitious individuals with a sincere heart or ignorant farmers diligently toiling in the soil, everyone was overjoyed.
In particular, after the hybrid rice research team led by Zhou Linong and its collaborating company, Ant Bee Grain Seed Company, jointly issued a notice announcing that they would provide high-quality, high-yield rice to Chinese farmers at an extremely low price (no higher than that of ordinary rice seeds), and also announced the quantity of the first batch of rice seeds, those farmers who had toiled in the fields for generations without ever getting enough to eat felt an overwhelming urge to erect a longevity tablet for them in their homes. This sentiment reached its peak after the first batch of hybrid rice was harvested successfully, and the farmers, with a touch of 'daring,' steamed a large pot of white rice to reward their families for their hard work.
It is said that quite a few farming families have indeed set up longevity tablets for Dr. Zhou in their homes.
But the farmers in Qingping County, Xidu City, Sichuan Province, are a little different from those in other places; they are erecting a statue of a little girl.
Because they all believed that the high-yield rice was actually grown by this little girl.
This little girl is Yunduo. She's also the owner and one of the largest shareholders of Ant Bee Grain Seed Company, which collaborates with the hybrid rice research team…
This was a decision made by Zhou Linong and his colleagues after repeated discussions.
Although China has many insightful people and many people who are wholeheartedly dedicated to the country and its people, it is undeniable that there are still many more greedy parasites in high positions who have never given up sucking the blood of the poor.
Rather than letting these people take advantage of the situation and make a fortune, it's better to cut off their desires at the source. Ant Bee Grain Seed Company was born under such circumstances.
Yun Duo, however, couldn't care less about the longevity tablet; she was a bit troubled lately.
