Yuan Chenggong didn't wait for Wen Gu's answer and continued: "This improved variety has increased the yield of grain seeds by nearly five times compared with the original grain seeds.
And as far as I know, the highest yield per mu in the base area is 1,000 kilograms. Originally, our grain yield was only 200 kilograms at most. This has increased five times.
As long as we plant this kind of improved seeds on a large scale, all Yanhuang people will not go hungry! "
Yuan Chengzhou's eyes turned red as he spoke. His parents starved to death without food, so he has been determined to work hard to increase the country's food production since he was a child.
With this goal in mind, he traveled all over the West and the United States, just to find seeds more suitable for Yanhuang.
Now he is in his 40s. Although he has always been called the most powerful food expert in Yanhuang, he has always failed to achieve results.
It wasn't until he came to the Independence Brigade base area and saw the wheat growing in the ground, with those heavy ears of wheat lowering their heads, that he felt happy just looking at it.
Wen Gu looked at his father, "All the food has been collected. I remember the time is not right, right?"
"Oh, isn't this a big raid by the Japanese? I'm worried that if I don't resist and the Japanese invade the base area, the food in these fields will be robbed by the Japanese.
Therefore, people are asked to harvest in advance. Professor Yuan said that the timing is slightly off, but it will not have a big impact on the output! "
Wen Su briefly explained that the large-scale Japanese raids had made the entire Eighth Route Army extremely busy.
Yuan Chengzhou pulled Wen Gu and walked out the door, "Commander Wen, I'll borrow your son first!"
"Use it, it's his ability to help Professor Yuan!" Wen Su said happily.
Wen Gu was helplessly pulled by Yuan Chengzhou to a small courtyard, "This is where our Agricultural Research Institute lives, and other professors work here!"
Yuan Chengzhou explained while pulling Wen Gu in. As soon as he reached the door, he heard someone talking inside.
"Old Liu, I heard that Brigadier Wen's son is back. Do you think he invented this new and improved breed?"
A slightly hoarse voice spoke.
"How do I know? But since the entire base says so, I guess it's true!"
Another mellow voice answered.
"Old Liu, I have already found out clearly that Brigadier Wen's son is only 10 years old. He is just a child. Where did he get his ability?
Have you never thought about the problems involved? "
“…….”
When Lao Liu was about to speak, Yuan Chengzhou had already pulled Wen Gu in and asked the people inside to speak, so as not to offend Wen Gu severely.
"Squeak", Yuan Chengzhou pushed the door open and introduced to the people in the room:
"Lao Liu, Lao Yan, let me introduce to you, this is Wen Gu who brings out the best seeds!"
"A little story, these two are botanists Liu Yunqing and Yan Hua, please get to know each other!"
When the people in the room heard that Wen Gu was coming, they all looked over curiously. There were not only several professors but also their students.
Yan Hua looked at the person in front of him curiously and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Comrade Wen Gu, my name is Yan Hua. You can just call me Lao Yan.
I heard that your Independence Brigade base area planted new and improved varieties, we rushed over non-stop, and we were not disappointed.
I came relatively late this time and didn't get much useful data. I wonder if Comrade Wen Gu can provide us with some? "
Yan Hua talked about the specific information of new and improved varieties as soon as they met. It can be seen that he is a person who concentrates on research. This kind of person should be easier to get along with.
Before Wen Gu could speak, Liu Yunqing also came over. He glanced at Wen Gu and said to Yuan Chengzhou,
"Lao Yuan, are you sure you are the good seed he provided? How old is he? How many years of schooling have you had?
If he could study such a species, what would we professors and experts do? "
Liu Yunqing has been doubting Wen Gu since he received the news, and has to repeat it several times every day.
When I saw Wen Gu today, I felt even more deceived. No matter how you look at it, Wen Gu is just a kid who hasn't gone to school much!
Yuan Chengzhou explained patiently, "Old Liu, I think there is no need to talk about this issue anymore. The entire Independence Brigade base area is said to be the improved seeds provided by Comrade Wen Gu.
It was something he came up with in the first place, there is no dispute about this! "
"Old Yuan, Professor Yuan, science is rigorous. We can't just accept what others say. We need to verify it ourselves.
How old is he? How many years have you been in school? I doubt he understands plant research at all! "
Liu Yunqing's face was serious, and he pointed at Wen Gu and said seriously.
Yan Hua did not expect that when the person they had been thinking about just arrived, he would not be welcomed but questioned. Looking at Wen Gu's calm face, he couldn't help but say,
"Old Liu, I don't think there is anything controversial about this matter. The entire base area is saying this, so we can't just talk nonsense, right?"
"Hmph, who knows what's so shameful here? Don't forget that he is the son of the commander of the Independent Brigade!"
Liu Yunqing pointed at Wen Gu and said without any politeness.
"Liu Yunqing, is this what you should say? Do you have evidence to prove it?"
Yuan Chengzhou's expression suddenly changed, and he asked sharply.
"Evidence? What evidence do I want? He is the best evidence. I don't believe that a person who has never studied botany systematically can cultivate such excellent crops!"
Liu Yunqing heard Yuan Chengzhou's scolding and retorted loudly.
Then, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he said to Wen Gu, "Your name is Wen Gu, right? Now tell us what's so fishy here?"
Wen Gu's face was as usual, and his eyes were noble. Although he was only 1.4 meters tall, Liu Yunqing could clearly feel the disdain in Wen Gu's eyes.
"Who are you and do you need me to prove it to you?"
Liu Yunqing didn't arrive and talked for a long time before he got this response. He pointed at Wen Gu with a trembling hand, turned to look at the other people in the room, and said tremblingly,
"Listen here, are these words said by an expert? Vulgar!"
The expressions of everyone in the room except Yuan Chengzhou and Yan Hua changed. They were professors and experts, and they were always guests wherever they went. Today they were actually despised by a child.
"Since you are from Yanzhou, you naturally know who is questioning and who is giving evidence!
If you have evidence, show it. If you don’t have evidence, shut up!
Also, you are not invited here by me, so I have no obligation to cooperate with you! "
After Wen Gu left, Yuan Chengzhou and Yan Hua hurriedly ran out, but Wen Gu was nowhere to be seen.
After a while, Wen Gu returned to Wen Su's residence. The father and daughter were communicating about their feelings. They were chatting happily when they suddenly saw Wen Su coming back.
Wen Su asked doubtfully, "Didn't you get dragged away by Professor Yuan? How could you be brought back so easily while doing research?"
