I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 528 Hot New Tomato Seeds
The previous projects of "coating research on carbon nanotube fibers" and "improvement of relaxor ferroelectric thin film materials" have completed the completion process, and because of their excellent results, they were included in the "Annual Key Scientific Research Achievements" and won the A multimillion-dollar scientific research reward.

Professor He Liangfu's arrival this time is to distribute the scientific research to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in proportion according to the original income division agreement, and even the check is ready.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun couldn't refuse it, so they had to accept it. At the same time, they had to sigh that Professor He is really a kind person.

Professor He's spirit is completely different from that of three months ago. He is full of energy, his eyes are bright, and the feeling of being almost overwhelmed has disappeared. Presumably, the family's debt problem is also due to the completion of the two projects and rewards. , has been properly resolved.

He laughed and said, "Are you interested in participating in a new project recently? Lao Hu and I are cooperating on a new project, using the Karman vortex street effect to prepare ultra-fine fibers and research their high-throughput production methods. This It is a subject that combines physics and materials science, and it also needs technical support from experts who are good at computational fluid dynamics."

Ning Qingjun was not very familiar with this somewhat unfamiliar concept, so he looked at Qin Ke.

Qin Ke explained with a smile: "The Karman vortex street phenomenon was discovered by the aerodynamicist Theodore von Karman. It is a hydrodynamic phenomenon. It is very common in nature to periodically shed out of the direction of rotation and arrange into regular double-row alternating vortex phenomena. For example, when the wind blows through cylinders such as tall towers and utility poles, the phenomenon of Karman vortex street will easily appear.80 The famous Tacoma Canyon bridge wind damage accident years ago was also due to the Carmen Vortex Street phenomenon.”

He picked up a pen and paper again, wrote down the most commonly used flowmeter formula f=Stv/d for the Karman vortex street phenomenon, and briefly explained it.

He Liangfu couldn't help sighing: "You also know such unorthodox knowledge very well. No wonder the old nonsense said that your attainments in fluid mechanics have surpassed most physics professors in China. It is really not an exaggeration. Academician Jiang has such a high level as you , I’m afraid I’m going to wake up laughing from my dream.” At this point, he asked hopefully: “How, are you interested in joining me and Lao Hu’s project?”

Qin Ke is also thinking about participating in a few more topics in fluid mechanics and materials science, which can not only increase his experimental experience and verification knowledge, but also gradually release the "Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations" Navier-Stokes Equation for the future. "The Exploration and Detailed Explanation" lays the foundation for the knowledge, and he happily said: "Okay, it happens that we are very interested in these two aspects."

He Liangfu said with great joy: "Okay, Lao Hu and I have just started this joint project. If you are interested, you can join in from the beginning and serve as my deputy and Lao Hu, so that you can complete a complete follow-up project." Experimental topics are very beneficial for you to independently undertake physics or materials science topics in the future."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also have independent projects now, but almost all of them are related to mathematics, and they are the only members. The daily opening report, mid-term report, and final report are all written by Ning Qingyun. The submission process and reception Feedback, etc., will be handled by administrative teachers arranged by the Department of Mathematics.

In addition, there are plant breeding and EDA topics, and these two major topics have actual team leaders. For example, Wei Xueming is in charge of plant breeding, Xu Qingyan is in charge of EDA, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are more from a higher position. Provide guidance and technical research at different levels.

When it comes to leading teams in physics or chemistry, the two really don't have much experience.

Now Professor He's meaning is very clear, that is, to let the two of them follow him and Professor Hu Qingfeng, and study as assistants from the beginning.With the guidance of two experienced subject experts, Lao He and Lao Hu, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will be able to get started soon, and can independently undertake related experimental subjects.

Sensing Professor He Liangfu's kindness and care, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun exchanged glances, and readily agreed.

……

Just when Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun joined the research group of "Using the Karman Vortex Street Effect to Study the Method of High-throughput Preparation of Ultrafine Fibers", in a mountainous village in the southwest, Chai Dajin was carrying a hoe, planning to weed the field .

Snowflakes have begun to fall in many areas in the north at this time. Even if there is no snow, the temperature has mostly dropped to single digits.

But the southwestern region is like spring all year round, and the temperature at this time is still close to [-] degrees, and normal crops and fruit thinning crops can continue to be planted.

The village where Chai Dajin lives is a relatively poor and backward mountainous village. Firstly, the transportation is not convenient, and the mountain road is very troublesome. He can only pass through a small pier two kilometers away, and take the waterway to the nearby county town to sell crops. Secondly, because of the land Most of them are barren, with a certain degree of salinity, and the yield of most crops is very low. The people in the whole village work hard all year round, and they can barely guarantee food and clothing.

Chai Dajin's family is no exception. He has faced the loess and turned his back to the sky all his life, and he has no education. It is estimated that his future life will be like this. The only thing he is proud of is that he has a son who is more competitive. Two books, but it is also the first serious college student in the small village, which makes Chai Dajin walk in the village with his head held high.

But when Chai Dajin thought about his son's future, his heart became heavy again.

My son is a college student, and he must stay in the city to work in the future. He cannot come back to farm, but now the family can barely make ends meet. The money for my son’s college education is borrowed from various families in the village, plus student loans. Well, the son wants to live in the city in the future, and the family may not be able to provide any support.

I heard that girls in the city now hate the poor and love the rich. If you don't have a house or a car, you can't marry a girl in the city. How can your son have the money to buy a house?Without a house, how can I ask for a wife in the future?
Thinking of the heavy future here, Chai Dajin's already wrinkled face congealed into a ball.

He slowly came to his own field, and saw that the ten acres of paddy fields had begun to produce ears of rice. This year's harvest was expected to be the same as in previous years. There was a guaranteed harvest, but the rice could not be sold at a good price.

He turned his gaze, but was surprised to see that the tomatoes planted in the nearby mountain had borne fruit!Although it is only a small fruit the size of a baby's fist, the red color is still immature and green, but the fruit is hung all over the branches, and the bunches are very gratifying to look at.

Chai Dajin was surprised and delighted, stepped forward to take a closer look, and it really came to fruition!Looks like a very good harvest!
You must know that this mountainous area has a lot of gravel, which is extremely barren, and because of the lack of water and high salinity, it is basically impossible to grow vegetables, fruits and sweet potatoes. Later, Chai Dajin had no choice but to throw it away.

More than two months ago, my son, who was still in college, suddenly asked someone to send a few packets of tomato seeds back, saying that it was a new variety that had just hit the market, which was researched by a talented student, and that it was resistant to barrenness, drought, and salt.

Chai Dajin didn’t quite understand the previous content, but he understood what his son said later. His son asked him to try and plant a piece of deserted mountain land at home. The price of the seeds is about the same. If they can really grow, it can be regarded as an extra income for the family.

Chai Dajin didn't really believe that tomatoes could be grown in the wasteland where even the most easy-to-grow sweet potatoes could not be grown. However, his son was a college student and educated. Chai Dajin followed his son's advice and reclaimed the wasteland and planted the A few bags of seeds, and water every day to irrigate.

Chai Dajin didn't hold much hope for the tomatoes in this wasteland at first, but to his surprise, a few days after planting them, green tomato seedlings grew in the field, which was the first time ever. Knowing that this land is so barren that weeds don't even grow densely, but this seed named "Lime Easy Type I Tomato" survived successfully, and the germination rate is very high!

Chai Dajin estimated that at least 80% of the seeds germinated successfully.

Such a high survival rate may not be possible even in fertile land!
This made Chai Dajin excited and began to pay attention to this wasteland. He strictly followed the planting requirements described by his son and watered it every three days. Climb to grow.

In this way, more than two months passed, the tomatoes bloomed, and today, they actually bear fruit!
Basically, no fertilization, spraying of pesticides, or herbicides were used throughout the whole process, because there were not many weeds growing in this wasteland, and some of them were pulled out by Chai Dajin in advance.

Although I don't know the size and quality of the final fruit when it is fully ripe, Chai Dajin made a rough estimate based on decades of experience. It is estimated that this half-acre of wasteland can produce nearly 1200 catties of tomatoes. Now the tomatoes are sold in the county. The price is about 6 yuan per catty, that is to say, this piece of wasteland will bring him more than 7000 yuan in income!

Even if the quality of the final tomatoes is slightly worse and the unit price is cheaper, after deducting the cost of seeds and transportation, the income of 5000 yuan is definitely there!
This is 5000 yuan!A piece of mountain land that was originally abandoned can earn 5000 yuan in three months!
If you plant three to four rounds a year, you can add up to 15000 to 20000 yuan!

This is the family's income for more than half a year in the past!
What makes Chai Dajin even more excited is that he has about two acres of similar wasteland on other hillsides, which have been abandoned until now. The annual income can be tens of thousands more!
Chai Dajin couldn't help but smirk when he thought of the annual income that had doubled.

If you can save 50,000 yuan a year, it will be 150,000 yuan in three years. Although there is still no way to buy a house for your son in the city, at least it should be enough to make up the down payment in a small county. If it is not enough, you can postpone it for two or three years , I will definitely be able to make up for the first installment!

His eyes fell on the ten-acre paddy field, and he couldn't wait to call his son to report the good news. By the way, he also wanted to ask his son if there were any new varieties of tomatoes suitable for ordinary land with higher yields. It is also not very suitable for growing rice, and the yield per mu has not increased. If it is replaced with a new variety of tomato, the income may be much higher!
However, he finally suppressed his excitement, and planned to wait a few days for the tomatoes to be harvested, send them to the county town and sell them, and then tell his son the good news.

At this time, the neighbors in the nearby field also discovered that Chai Dajin's wasteland had "turned waste into treasure", and they came over curiously and asked: "Uncle Chai, what kind of tomato do you grow in your house, and this wasteland can also grow fruit?"

"That's right, Old Chai, give us some advice. We're almost dying of worry. My family also has a few pieces of wasteland like this, and they've been left unused and can't grow anything."

Looking at the folks who gathered around to "learn the scriptures", Chai Dajin proudly showed off: "It's nothing, this is a new variety my son found, and I don't know where to buy it. Ask your son in a few days."

"Hey, it turned out to be a new breed that your son found. College students are different, educated!"

"That's right, Old Chai, it won't be a few days, can you ask us tonight? By the way, is this kind of seed expensive? How about the survival rate?"

……

It was late in the evening when Chai Canming received a call from his father. In the village, only the village head's house had a phone, and the villagers all got one or two yuan from the village head's house to borrow the phone to call.

Chai Canming was also stunned when he heard his father's words.

At the beginning, he just accidentally saw such a new variety of tomato seeds on the Internet, and it was printed on the package that "developed with the patented technology exclusively authorized by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun", which made Chai Canming quite interested.

He admired these two famous academic gods all over the country, especially when he found that there was a line of words on the back of the package: "At the request of the inventors of the patented technology, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, in order to promote new types of seeds and increase farmers' income, this model The selling price of the seeds will not exceed the average selling price of tomato seeds in the current market, and price monitoring is welcome,” which greatly increased their goodwill, and immediately bought a few packets of seeds and sent them home.

Unexpectedly, in the past three months or so, good news came from the family. The tomato seeds really survived and borne fruit, turning the barren land into a treasure land!
Chai Canming was stunned for a while before replying: "Dad, don't worry, I'll look for it again. If I remember correctly, there should be other types of tomato seeds, which were also developed with the patented technology of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun... …Oh? You don’t need to worry about who they are. Anyway, the things they developed are all high-quality products. I bought them and sent them home. After you wait for the rice to be harvested, try planting them first and compare them to see if there is any difference. I will buy them in bulk. The folks in the village want to buy it too, and are you willing to pay the handling fee? OK, I’ll buy it for you as well.”

After the call was over, Chai Canming was very excited. After searching the Internet, he found that there were four other similar tomato varieties, all of which were produced by Da Nong Seed Industry. The prices were not high, not exceeding the normal average price of tomato seeds.

Among them, "lime easy-growing type II tomatoes" can be harvested once every two months, and the fruiting rate can be increased by 20%. There are certain requirements for the fertility of the land, but the land that can grow rice can be planted!

Without hesitation, Chai Canming bought a few packs and sent them home, intending to let his father try planting them first.

After finishing all this work, he couldn't help posting his experience on the Internet, and sighed: "I used to admire Qin Shen and Ning's achievements in mathematics, but now I realize that their achievements in biology , is really remarkable, benefiting the general public, especially for farmers like my father who live in remote mountainous areas, it is simply reinvention..."

His post quickly garnered attention and a ton of replies.

Someone replied: "When you said that, I just remembered that I planted a few pots of tomatoes on the balcony. It seems that I bought them when I saw the words Qin Kening Qingyun printed on them. It has already bloomed and produced some small fruits. Hahaha, I guess I will be able to eat tomato scrambled eggs in a week. Qin Shen and Ning students are great, this new type of 'Lime Balcony Type IV Tomato' is very suitable for me For such a lazy person living in the city, tap water is recommended!"

"+1! I planted it too. I just picked it yesterday. It's very sweet and delicious. It's much tastier than any cherry tomatoes on the market."

"Are you sure it's the scientific research achievement of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun? Why didn't you see them post a scarf to promote it?"

"It should be them. The price-limiting text printed on the back cover is the same as the original mathematics teaching materials. Except for them, no one else has such a big heart and courage!"

"I am really moved by these two children every time. Regardless of whether I grow them or not, I decided to buy a few packs as a support for their scientific research achievements."

"Please link, I want to buy it too! I want to enjoy the fun of growing vegetables in the city!"

"Go to the official website of Da Nong Seed Industry. They are the only ones who sell it exclusively. But I checked just now, and they are all sold out. I heard that the first batch of seeds is just a test, and there are not many produced. It won't be released until three days later. If you buy it upstairs and don't grow it, don't waste Qin Shen and Ning's hard work."

"My family is also in a mountainous area. I will contact my family to recommend it. Maybe it can increase my income and production."

……

With more and more people paying attention to this post, taking advantage of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's great fame, the five new tomato seeds produced by Danong Seed Industry have attracted great attention, and even squeezed into the hot search list .

This coke spoiled Sang Yijiang, the new chairman and general manager of Da Nong Seed Industry. The sales volume has been rising steadily. Tomato seeds of various varieties are promoted to the whole country in a targeted manner.

Xin Youbin, deputy general manager of "Xiaguo Seed Industry Co., Ltd.", was stunned when he heard the news, and asked the director of the marketing department in disbelief: "You mean, the new tomato seeds of Da Nong Seed Industry are very popular now." , in short supply?"

The supervisor nodded with a bitter face: "Yes, I heard that Da Nong Seed Industry is now working overtime to produce seeds, but the order has been scheduled for half a year. According to our analyst's prediction, if this momentum continues, within three years, The new tomato seeds of Da Nong Seed Industry will occupy more than [-]% of the domestic market share. They follow the strategy of high quality and low price, small profits but high sales, and we have no strength to resist."

"Eighty percent share..."

Xin Youbin was extremely shocked. You must know that their company's tomato seeds have been developing for nearly ten years, but they only account for about 18% of the market share...

"Is their new type of seed really that good? What does the tech department say?"

"The technical department has tried planting, and it is indeed very high-quality, and almost no herbicides are needed, and it can also resist common diseases... The key is that the positioning of the five new seeds is clear, and the entry point is precise. Our tomato seeds are completely incompetent."

Xin Youbin sat back on the office chair dejectedly, and he couldn't help but think of the negotiation with Lime Technology a few months ago.

Because they did not accept the "Overlord Clause" related to the price, they clearly missed out on the six patented technologies despite being the first to contact Lime Technology.

However, Da Nong Seed Industry, which was ridiculed as a joke by the industry, was about to turn around.

"Let's negotiate with Lime Technology to see if we can get the relevant patented technology."

"It's unlikely. It was said in the news at the time that Da Nong Seed Industry is an exclusive authorization."

Xin Youbin was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "We still need to contact Lime Technology to see if they have any patents for other new seeds. If so, we must grab them as soon as possible!"
