Chapter 493 Experts
In order to facilitate communication in the venue, there is a special rest area, and there are special staff next to it to pour tea.

Of course, in order to avoid the mess of the on-site environment, there is no food.

However, there are a lot of agricultural products on the booths. Of course, these are not for food, but to show the taste of local crops.

Qiu Shan watched intently, lingering between the platforms, the difference between the crops in the north and the south was huge.

In the south, paddy field crops such as rice are mainly used, while in the north, dry land crops such as wheat are used.

This is also adapted to local conditions based on differences in climate, rivers, soil, and inertial agricultural production. Therefore, there is also the saying "northern wheat and southern rice, southern boats and northern horses".

In addition to the basic crops, there are many places where there have been major technological breakthroughs in vegetables and fruits. Several fruit forest experts are discussing about grafting techniques in the rest area.

When Qiu Shan passed by, he listened a few times. Although it was not an area he was familiar with, he also had a feeling of bypassing the analogy.

In the middle of the venue, it was extremely quiet. A man in his fifties was talking about something with a wheat stalk in his hand.

The person next to him listened carefully, and recorded the other person's words from time to time, looking very serious.

Little Rainbow Dash was very curious, "Brother, there are a lot of people over there."

Qiu Shan walked towards the crowd and glanced at the people around him. Basically, the participation badges are all green. He went there to ask just now, and the badges of this color are all invited experts.

But these experts are all surrounded by middle-aged men at the moment, like elementary school students who are listening to a class.

Qiu Shan couldn't help asking the person next to him in a low voice, "Excuse me, who is that?"

The man was taken aback by the question, "You don't know him?"

Qiu Shan said embarrassingly: "It's true that I don't understand too much, can I trouble you to talk about it?"

Qiu Shan's attitude was very humble, and the person being questioned was actually embarrassed.

"This is Professor Li Sheng, haven't you heard of his name?"

For a moment, Qiu Shan was ecstatic, "He is Mr. Li? The one who is said to have solved the wheat stripe rust?"

"So you know."

At this moment Li Sheng said something again, the person who asked the question didn't care about chatting with Qiu Shan, he lowered his head and continued to quickly memorize it in his notebook.

Little Rainbow Dash couldn't help asking, "Brother, who is he?"

In order to avoid disturbing others, Qiu Shan hastily pulled Little Yunbao aside to explain in detail.

Qiu Shan heard from Yu Hongzhi that among northern agriculturalists, the "Northern Li" that has always been respected refers to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng grew up with difficulty during the famine, and experienced seasons when people starved to death. However, his parents were very far-sighted and would rather send their children to study and read while hungry.

Mr. Li's father even died early due to lack of food and overwork. His elder brother dropped out of school early to work for his younger brother's education. The family tried every means to confess Li Sheng.

More than 20 years ago, 17-year-old Li Sheng was still a freshman, but his overall research on wheat had begun to take shape, and a new wheat variety had been cultivated.

After bringing this variety back to his hometown for field trials, he soon had an unexpected surprise, which increased the wheat production in his hometown. Although the output was not very impressive, it gave Li Sheng hope, and he has been in this business ever since.

The stripe rust mentioned by Qiu Shan just now is a disease that can seriously reduce the yield of wheat. After the infection, yellow marks will appear on the leaves of the wheat, as if they have rusted. would lead to extremely serious disasters.

After exhaustive research, Li Sheng decided to graft wheat with weak disease resistance and grass with strong disease resistance, hoping to use this method to resist stripe rust.

This experiment has never been tried in China or in the whole world. Mr. Li Sheng has been walking on this unexplored path for more than [-] years.

After repeated experiments on grafting dozens of types of wheat with different varieties of pasture, and after countless failures, it was rumored last year that the team led by Li Sheng finally got the desired result after 23 years.

This news shocked the entire China.

When Qiu Shan heard Yu Hongzhi mention this matter, he couldn't help but feel agitated in his chest. He didn't expect to see a real person today.

How can this make him not excited?

This is the right trip!
