Time flies! Some time passed.
As the seasons change, many plants begin to enter unadjustable seasonal influences. Some plants begin to grow wildly and lushly, while others begin to wither.
They all have their own seasons.
However, many tourists have also discovered that this natural law does not seem to have a great impact on the sea of bougainvillea flowers in Qinglin Villa, the duckweed in the floating bridge scenic area, and the grass in Qinglin Ranch.
The Qinglin Manor nursing room was quite busy today because Tang Xiuwan moved in by herself and she was about to give birth.
As the person in charge of the infirmary and the fiancée of Professor Li Kai, Ling Ran, his subordinate, and the nurses did not dare to neglect him.
The manor's healing room already has special pre-examination equipment and a maternity room.
Lin Fen was worried about Zhao Moqing, so she asked Qin Lin to buy it specially. Ling Ran and the nurse could do the pregnancy test. As for having children in the future, just ask a professional doctor to come over.
After all, it is normal for doctors to be invited to other hospitals to treat patients. Naturally, those who are usually invited are top doctors with good medical skills, especially professors.
This is considered additional income for doctors.
If Qinglin Manor's sanatorium wants to invite a doctor to come to the manor to help with childbirth, there will be people trying to come, no matter how powerful the doctor is, they can come.
It can be said that this manor sanatorium is becoming more and more formal. At least all kinds of examination equipment are complete, and even the equipment is better than that of some hospitals.
It's just that Zhao Moqing hasn't experienced this yet, and Tang Wan has experienced it first.
Regarding the relationship between Qin Lin and Li Kai, Li Kai opened his mouth, and naturally everything was OK.
In the healing room.
Not only Li Kai came, but also Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing.
Lin Fen naturally came to see the situation. In the future, Zhao Moqing, the daughter-in-law, will also give birth here.
"How is it? Is this bed comfortable?" Lin Fen looked at Tang Wan lying down and asked. She was naturally asking for Zhao Moqing. If it was uncomfortable to lie down, why would she let her son buy a new bed?
Daughter-in-law is most important now.
"Auntie, it's very comfortable to lie down." Tang Xiuwan replied with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!" Lin Fen nodded with a smile.
Zhao Moqing looked on with a smile. In fact, she was a little worried. After all, this was her first pregnancy.
"Dr. Tang's pregnancy test is normal, but according to the situation, the baby will be born at these times." The invited fertility doctor came in with the test report and said.
"Okay, thank you doctor." Li Kai thanked him. After Tang Xiuwan completed the examination, he was completely relieved.
After that, Tang Xiuwan and Zhao Moqing went to talk about some things and precautions for pregnant women. Qin Lin also invited Li Kai to make tea in the office.
After sitting down, Li Kai also got down to business: "The Chinese Academy of Sciences previously allocated funds for us to assist in research on increasing seed production. For more than a month, I have led people to study hard, but the progress is not great. This kind of seed production problem A breakthrough is not something that can happen in a moment.”
He had no idea what to do about this. He thought about how long it had taken the country to support the increase in rice production to achieve the current results.
Just as Li Kai was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door of the office.
Yu Shui came in with a face full of surprise and reported: "Director Qin, good news, the seeds planted before, including radish, eggplant and coriander, are ready to be harvested, but the yield is incredible."
Qin Lin also laughed when he heard the news.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to increase seed yield, but he has a seed processing machine. By processing the seeds, he can increase the yield and shorten the growth time.
Calculating the time, once the seeds are processed and handed over to Yushui for planting, some crops that grow quickly should also be mature.
Although Qin Lin understood clearly, he still pretended not to know and asked: "What happened to the production volume?"
Yu Shui hurriedly explained: "Director Qin, whether it's eggplant or not, I had someone weigh it and the yield was three times that of normal. The yield of white radish and coriander was also twice that of normal."
"What?" Li Kai stood up in shock when he heard the news, with an expression on his face that said, "Did you fool me?"
He led people to conduct research in the laboratory for a period of time, but there was no gain in increasing seed production.
Who knew that the planting department of Qinglin Villa has grown crops that have doubled and tripled their yields?
Is this a joke?
These professionals are not as good as these laymen.
"Manager Yu, take Brother Qin and I to have a look." Li Kai said anxiously to Yu Shui. Under the current circumstances, he naturally wanted to see the specific crops as soon as possible.
Yu Shui nodded immediately, took Li Kai and Qin Lin out of the manor, and then headed to the previously isolated planting area.
There were already many employees from the planting department waiting there, and they all looked very surprised.
Most of these employees are from rural areas and have been farming in the past. They are naturally familiar with crops such as radish, coriander, and eggplant, and they also know their yields.
Now this time the mature crop really surprised them.
They have never seen an eggplant grow so many fruits.
Li Kai soon arrived here with Qin Lin and Yu Shui. He immediately climbed to the planting area, and then asked Yu Shui: "Are these eggplants, coriander and white radish?"
Yu Shui nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Professor Li, these are grown from the seeds you researched."
"???" Li Kai was suddenly confused when he heard this.
What did he study?
When did he study it?
How come he doesn't know it himself?
Yu Shui continued: "When the boss gave me these seeds, I knew that the seeds you developed, Professor Li, must be extraordinary. Now that I have planted them, it is indeed the case. I didn't expect the yield to be so high."
"..." Li Kai opened his mouth, and felt a heavier weight on his back for no reason. Moreover, this made him a little baffled. He was completely unaware.
Li Kai looked at Qin Lin subconsciously, then stepped forward, pulled Qin Lin aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qin, what's going on?"
Seeing Li Kai's inquiry, Qin Lin could only make up again in a deceptive way: "Brother Li, it's a bit complicated to say. I have read the "Essential Techniques of Qi Min" written by Jia Sixie in ancient times. There is a special secret recipe in it, which uses medicinal materials. The prepared potion can soak seeds and increase seed yield, so I gave it a try."
"Is it the 'Big Secret Water'? Isn't that fake?" Li Kai said in surprise.
"Essentials for Elevating the People" is an agricultural work in ancient my country. It tells a lot about farming, grains, vegetables, fruits and vegetables, trees, livestock, brewing... and many other aspects.
Among them, regarding increasing seed yield, some special medicinal materials are used to make potion. Soaking seeds in this potion can increase seed yield.
It is rumored that Jia Sixie used this method to increase the yield of seeds during the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but it was lost for unknown reasons later on. No one has ever used this method to increase the yield of seeds.
He had made this potion in his previous Mingshi laboratory, and other related laboratories had also done it, and even Senior Yuan's team had done it before.
But it's a pity that the 'big seed potion' is useless and has been proven to be fake.
"???" Qin Lin just wanted to blame it on this book, but he didn't expect that there was actually a record of this in this book.
Then he hesitated and started making up again: "It shouldn't be fake, but the ratio and age of the medicinal materials are very high. I prepared it several times, but only succeeded once. After soaking these seeds, there was no trace of it again. Prepare an effective potion."
"Moreover, the seeds soaked in the same batch were planted in the remaining water before with normal yields. This time I took some special soil and let them grow seedlings first and then plant them, and the yield increased."
Li Kai seemed to understand immediately when he heard this: "In other words, in addition to the potion, it is also related to the special soil?"
As he said this, he felt that it was reasonable to say: "Perhaps there are such many factors. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, maybe the land planted by Jia Sixie at that time was more fertile, or it was somewhat different. It is no wonder that those previous laboratories produced this kind of The potion didn’t work.”
Qin Lin immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, that's what Brother Li said. I can't think of the reason. Brother Li is a professional, so I immediately knew the reason."
Li Kai sighed: "But in this case, this method cannot be copied. Whether it is potion or special soil, outsiders have no way to verify it, so we can only keep it secret and cannot let outsiders know."
In other words, he should be shouldering the blame again.
But he was used to this kind of thing.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and returned to the planting area over there, and then said to Yu Shui: "Manager Yu, except for the reserved seeds, all of them were picked together. Do you think the average yield is that high?"
"Okay, Professor Li!" Yu Shui responded happily. He also felt very honored to be able to participate in Professor Li Kai's research.
I wonder if Professor Li Kai’s name will be mentioned if he is printed in a book in the future.
After all, he helped Professor Li Kai plant many times and carefully took care of Professor Li Kai's experimental crops.
Yu Shui is still very mobile. With the staff of the planting department, he quickly picked all three mature crops.
Afterwards, the yields of those crops were fully calculated.
This time, Li Kai personally watched and saw that the eggplant output had increased three times compared with the normal output, and the white radish and coriander had indeed increased twice as much.
In other words, Brother Qin really came up with the seeds that increased the yield so much by accident.
If these seeds spread, they will be beyond the era.
Li Kai thought of something and immediately told Yu Shui: "Manager Yu, help me prepare some crops. I want to go back and check the genetic fragments."
He is doing research in this area, so he can naturally see that these are grown from foreign seeds, but in this case, inspections in this area must be carried out.
Whether it is a crop gene fragment or a seed gene fragment, if it is the same as those foreign seeds, then someone has applied for a patent.
However, as the output increases, there will definitely be changes. As long as the gene fragment is slightly different, they can re-apply for their own patent.
At that time, let those foreign seeds die.
When Li Kai took the crops back to Qinglin's laboratory for testing, Qin Lin also took some white radish, coriander, and eggplant back to the manor office.
As soon as he entered the office and locked the door, he brought his things into the game and saw the message:
[Cilantro: Ordinary! 】
[White radish: ordinary! 】
[Qinglin Eggplant: Quality 1! 】
After the increase in seed yield, the quality has not changed. White radish and coriander are grown from ordinary seeds, so they are still of ordinary quality.
The yield of Qinglin eggplant is increased by 3 times. It is grown from quality 1 seeds, so the fruit is quality 1.
After reading the information, Qin Lin also left the office. When he arrived in the lobby, he saw Academician Li reading the news, and his expression was a little solemn.
Academician Li also cursed fiercely: "Damn it, this Star-Spangled Empire is determined to destroy me!"
"Academician Li, what's wrong?" Qin Lin stepped forward and asked doubtfully, please don't let this old man get angry.
Academician Li held the remote control, frowned and said, "Boss Qin, take a look at these news!"
"Xingstripe National Dream Sandu Seed Company will suspend the import of seeds to us and restrict us from continuing to seed seeds related to Dream Sandu gene fragments..."
"Star-Spangled Kingdom Willis Seed Company announced that it will no longer supply seeds..."
"Western Seed Company..."
Qin Lin suddenly frowned.
This is a video about seeds, and it seems that Western seed companies are going to sanction us and stop selling seeds to us.
"Something big is going to happen." Academician Li said with an annoyed look on his face.
They had guessed that such a problem would arise at the beginning, and they really started to make a fuss about this kind of thing again.
"Academician Li, is this bad?" Qin Lin asked doubtfully.
Academician Li nodded: "When this news came out, there must have been a stir on the Internet, and some people must have popularized it. Go and take a look!"
Obviously, Academician Li didn't want to talk more about this topic. He was really angry.
Qin Lin could only frown and took out his mobile phone and logged into a certain news channel. As expected, the news on a certain news channel was full of news about this kind of thing.
After watching several videos in a row, including two popular science videos, he finally understood what was going on.
Even now, we are powerful, but there are still many things that are controlled by others.
We are stuck not only in high technology, but also in the farming industry.
The simplest example is Shouguan in Eastern Province, which is my country's largest vegetable distribution center. The export of agricultural products here has reached 155 billion yuan, accounting for 22% of the country's total.
It can be said that in the north, 6 out of 10 people eat Shouguan vegetables. However, behind this powerful force of growing vegetables, the lifeblood of Shouguan seeds is in the hands of foreign countries, especially some countries headed by the Stars and Stripes Kingdom. .
Among the thousands of vegetable varieties in Shouguan, more than 80% are foreign seeds, which has been suppressed.
Shouguan's predicament is just a microcosm of the current agricultural situation across the country.
Although we are a major agricultural country, almost all crop seeds are controlled by foreign companies, which is ridiculous.
The patents for common seeds such as broccoli, eggplant, celery, cilantro, red tomatoes, white radish, sweet peppers, etc. are not ours. Foreign companies have already applied for gene fragment patents.
The Stars and Stripes Country is the largest seed exporter and technological powerhouse.
The combined sales of all 5,800 seed companies in our country are not as good as the Mengshandu Seed Company in Stars and Stripes in the news, or even less than one-third.
Seeds are at the forefront of the agricultural industry chain and are one of the fundamental driving forces for increasing agricultural production. However, seeds are now monopolized in this area, and even the supply and pricing rights are in the hands of others.
Our entire agriculture industry is stuck by the neck, and it is almost difficult to breathe.
Therefore, the price of these foreign seeds is far higher than that of domestic seeds, and some seeds are even dozens of times higher.
Maybe some people will ask, why should we use other people’s seeds instead of buying our own seeds?
This is related to the issue of yield, because the yield of other patented seeds is much higher than that of domestic seeds. This is an indisputable fact.
One pill can produce as much yield as 10 pills for you. How do you choose?
To produce the same yield with domestic seeds, it will cost 10 times the price. Choosing other people’s seeds is a last resort and there is really no other way.
To a certain extent, being stuck in this aspect can be said to be worse than being stuck in technology.
Qin Lin now understood why Academician Li said something big was going to happen.
If so, this matter is indeed not trivial, and may even destabilize the entire planting industry.
But if the other party does such a thing, the purpose is certainly not simple. If there is no purpose, they are not at the mercy of others now, and the gain of the other party will outweigh the losses.
at this time.
Beijing.
Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Minister Lu was also very worried. He naturally saw the news, so he tried his best to delay it, but in the end he had no choice.
Until now, no laboratory has reported any breakthroughs in seed growth experiments.
Naturally, he knew very well that the other party was directly overturning the table now. Seed sanctions were not the purpose. They just wanted to use this method to get what they wanted from Boss Qin.
At this moment, Minister Lu's cell phone rang. After looking at the number, he hurriedly pressed the button to answer: "Hello, leader!"
The person on the other side immediately said: "The other party is dissatisfied now. There is no way to delay it any longer, otherwise very bad problems will arise. You should go over to the ** to discuss with the other party immediately. If that doesn't work, let them see Boss Qin. "
"Okay, leader!" Minister Lu hung up the phone helplessly, got up and left his office.
Sometimes, being controlled by others is so uncomfortable.
Moreover, they often have more things to worry about than the other party. The other party has no conscience and will resort to any means.
