"Among these seeds, I feel that these are of better quality, especially this one. I can feel the vitality gushing out of it."
For this reason, the security of the Agricultural Research Institute was replaced by more professional security personnel, and Hua Guo also prepared a brand new resume for his new identity.
Jiang Yan came to the Agricultural Research Institute with a team of six people. The other five people all had their own secret identities. They were researchers from Jiang Yan's team and secretly served Jiang Yan.
Not only makeup, but also blood tests, physical examinations, and feedback of Jiang Yan’s latest feelings to the Bureau of Abnormalities Investigation.
After the emergence of Magic coin, especially after the artificial magic brain was confirmed, China established a special Anomaly Investigation Bureau, which is fully responsible for magic-related matters.
(Don’t worry about the name of this organization. It was chosen casually. I just chose this name if it sounds right to my ears~)
"Are you sure?" Dong Wenxu, a researcher responsible for batch genetic mutation of soybean seeds, was full of doubts.
This new researcher is a little too crazy. He picked up the seeds and took a quick look to determine that these seeds are of better quality?
This batch of seeds was processed in batches by Dong Wenxu through a combination of X-rays and chemical mutagenesis reagents to induce mutations.
It is not like the most popular method in the agricultural research community now, which is to target some known mutants and work on the gene segments where these mutants are located.
Radioactive probes are used to determine the gene fragments associated with mutants with known functions. After the gene fragments are located, targeted mutagenesis or hybridization is used to cause the gene fragments to change again.
Since the functional module associated with this gene fragment is known, control experiments only need to be designed accordingly.
But after the new researcher Jiang Yan arrived, Dong Wenxu was directly transferred to Jiang Yan's team, which he was reluctant to do.
Because although Jiang Yan went to a prestigious school, all the articles he published were blank. As a research dog, the team leader has not published any articles. Isn’t this just a lie?
The theory in the institute is that Jiang Yan has been engaged in secret scientific research work before. He was recently transferred to their scientific research institute because he was old, so he has not published any papers.
What made Dong Wenxu even more unbearable was that Jiang Yan asked him to use traditional radiation methods to process seeds of major crops such as wheat, rice, barley, and soybeans in large quantities.
After Dong Wenxu finished processing, Jiang Yan picked it up and looked at it for a long time, then closed his eyes from time to time, and then told him which seeds to plant.
He knew it was unreliable from the beginning, but Dong Wenxu didn't expect it to be so unreliable. Picking the seeds was like drawing lots.
Jiang Yan selected the induced seeds every day, and then he and several other researchers went to the soil of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences to plant them.
Dong Wenxu didn't know when he would become the leader. There was no hope of publishing papers under this person in charge. He didn't even know if he could find an ordinary teaching position, let alone a teaching position in 211.
Originally, I came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Agriculture as a postdoctoral fellow because I wanted to publish more papers and try to go to 211 and start as an associate professor. "It seems that my life is gloomy." Dong Wenxu thought to himself.
"Teacher Jiang, isn't our method too random?" Dong Wenxu couldn't help it, and he reminded the other party tactfully.
Jiang Yan didn't care. As a person who had gone through life and death, Shennong, who had already pledged his life to his country, could not and could not explain it to him.
Could it be that I have a magic brain and can sense which seed has more vitality?
Jiang Yan had no choice but to say: "Please believe me, you can only believe me. If these seeds do not show some superior characteristics, I will allow you to transfer to other groups."
Dong Wenxu was also carefully selected. He was calm, not good at speaking, and had no overseas study experience. Only three generations of his ancestors had gone through political review before they could join Jiang Yan's group.
It's just that Dong Wenxu himself doesn't know how lucky he is to be in this group.
Hearing what Jiang Yan said, Dong Wenxu had no choice but to answer yes.
After Dong Wenxu left, Jiang Yan continued to study. Because he had changed his direction and now expanded to all major crops, he still had a lot of lessons to make up for.
After Jiang Yan injected the standard magic brain, he was surprised to find that he could sense the quality of living things. It was just a feeling. He could feel which seed was better for the same seed.
After discovering and confirming that Jiang Yan indeed had this ability, he was transferred to the Agricultural Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"I hope you will continue to make outstanding contributions in China's agricultural independence and main crop security, so that we can no longer rely on overseas countries and leave more profits to our fellow farmers."
"Promise to complete the mission!"
The location has changed, and the work content has changed, but what remains unchanged is the original intention, the determination and belief to make a small contribution to Chinese agriculture.
China is a country with a large population and a huge demand for food, but it relies heavily on imported seeds.
China feeds 20% of the world's population with 7% of the world's farmland. To accomplish this feat, China's use of chemical fertilizers has tripled over the past 30 years, with an average efficiency of 32% compared to the world average of 55%.
Eighty percent of soybean imports rely on imports, with imports increasing from 300,000 tons in 1995 to 95 million tons in 2017, accounting for two-thirds of the world's soybean trading market.
(The above data comes from the "China Agricultural Yearbook" 1982-2017 published by the Ministry of Agriculture of China)
China relies heavily on imported seeds. In 2018, China imported more than 72 million kilograms of crop seeds, with an import value of 475 million yuan.
Jiang Yan was able to come to the Agricultural Institute without being in a secret base, and it was precisely because of this environment.
After finishing his work for the day, Jiang Yan got up and called up the page of the magic forum. There was still only a single post from Merlin hanging on it.
His mind was full of questions and he wanted to ask Merlin, what exactly is the Demon Brain? Why does the injection of magic brain allow him to have this ability?
Is this ability technology or magic?
In addition, can this ability evolve, and can it be more accurately detected what aspects of good seeds are good?
These problems are like a cat scratching its itch for him. If they cannot be solved, they will keep spinning in his mind.
I can only force myself not to think about it when I am working.
