Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 541

The elder's face was younger than what he saw online in Zhou Rui's memories of his previous life.

However, he is still octogenarian.

Seeing this person, Zhou Rui realized why he had never heard in his previous life that Hunan Province was famous for its agriculture, but it was a major rice province, with output comparable to that of the Black Province, which had black soil for thousands of years.

It is precisely because the elders are here.

This is also where hybrid rice was born.

Zhou Rui was not the only one who could recognize the veteran. Other enlightened employees and even Xiang Qingliang recognized this person. Anyone who had read for several years would be familiar with this face.

Obviously, the "winter rice" next to it has some connection with the elders, at least it is also a project of his disciples.

This old man is over eighty years old, and in the winter before spring, he still comes to the fields in person.

The elder looked at the "God of Agriculture" and felt very fresh. He said with a smile: "I heard from Xiao Li that you have built a new agricultural machine. Is this it?"

The elder's accent was very strong, but he could still understand it, and he even felt inexplicably happy and friendly.

Zhou Rui immediately said proudly: "Yes, it is called 'Farmer God' and uses drone technology."

He led the senator to the god of agriculture and introduced him to its various functions and functions.

"Original ground agricultural machinery can only be responsible for 'ploughing, planting and harvesting', but once the crops are formed, they cannot go to the ground. Drones have great advantages in this regard."

"With the advantage of high altitude and intelligent system, the efficiency is 200 times that of manual work."

Looking at the two figures, Guan Ge subconsciously took out his camera and wanted to take a photo of the boss and the elders.

However, Zhou Rui pressed his hand and motioned for her to put it away first.

The elder is a scientist who has worked on the frontline of scientific research all his life. He will not reject new things. He understands the meaning of these "changes" very quickly.

"It's a bit amazing. The spraying and fertilizing are all standardized, so it's easy to manage!"

"Standardization? Management?"

The veteran pointed to the winter rice experimental field at the back and said: "There is a management problem here and the earing situation is not ideal. I was criticizing them just now."

Several people accompanying the senator lowered their heads in shame.

The eldest among them is over fifty years old, and the youngest is in his thirties, but among the senators, they are only at the level of disciples.
  At this time, a large drone returned home. The veteran raised his head and asked curiously: "Is this thing fully automatic? I don't think anyone is controlling it."

Zhou Ruidao: "This is the power of enlightened algorithms"

He simply picked up a drone from the God of Agriculture and showed it in action.

Zhou Rui spoke in great detail, and the elders listened attentively.
  For 20 minutes, the elders squatted on the ground and listened to Zhou Rui's explanation.

As a result, when I got up, maybe because of my old age, my eyes turned black and I staggered two steps.

The people around him screamed in surprise.

Fortunately, Zhou Rui had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed hold of him and supported the elder's body.

Zhou Rui: It’s such a risk, it’s such a risk. I almost lost all my merits.
  The elder calmed down and said awkwardly: "I'm so old! I feel uncomfortable after squatting for a while."

He is a man who refuses to accept old age, but his heart is not convinced, and his body must also be convinced.
  The elder took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one and raised it to Zhou Rui: "What's your name, young man? Do you smoke?"

Zhou Rui took the cigarette out of courtesy, and then said: "My surname is Zhou, and I don't smoke."

The elder was stunned and thought, why would you blame me for smoking a cigarette if you don’t smoke?
  I'm under supervision, I can count as many as I need every day!
  But this "God of Agriculture" is indeed a bit powerful.

The young man showed off his stuff, and the elder was also going to introduce his field. He waved with a smile and said, "Do you want to see the rice? I'll show you around!"

Zhou Rui happily agreed. The elders and Zhou Rui walked in front, followed by many people, but they all kept a certain distance.

The main reason is that the ridges of the fields cannot be stepped on, and everyone is crowded up, causing the ridges to collapse.

"Where did the young man study?"

"I graduated from Fuzhou University."

"You graduated with a doctorate at such a young age?"

"I graduated with a bachelor's degree"

Elder:
  Of course, across several eras, the elders did not attach much importance to academic qualifications. Academic qualifications are not the only proof of ability, or even the only proof of science.

"I heard from Xiao Li that you invented this set of things yourself, and the company is so big."

"It's just a small achievement."

"Are you interested in agriculture?"

Zhou Rui thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "To be precise, he is not interested in agriculture itself, but in upgrading productivity. Among the many applications of enlightened algorithms, agricultural production is the easiest and best to start with."

The senator nodded.

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "Sir, how many kilograms per mu do we produce now?"

Speaking of which, I only heard the concept in my previous life, and the yield of hybrid rice hit new highs every year, but I forgot the specific number.

The veteran said: "Different varieties vary, the maximum weight is 2000 kilograms."

Although he didn't understand the concept of this number deeply, Zhou Rui knew that it must be very strong, so he praised it sincerely: "It's really amazing."

The elder shook his head, pointed to the "winter rice" on the field, and said: "For example, if we set up an experimental field like this, the yield per mu is 2000 kilograms, but when it is given to ordinary farmers, the yield will be reduced by [-]%. If the soil is poor Some have to be folded in half.”

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "Why is there such a big difference?"

"The bottom line is that there are problems with management. The same seeds, the same fertilizers, and the same climate are used by ordinary farmers, but the yields just cannot be achieved, fertilizers are spread unevenly, and pest and disease control is not in place. There are many problems. Planting crops is a matter of technology. To live, it doesn’t mean just scattering seeds casually.”

"Whether it's fruits, grains, or vegetables, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences keeps teaching and teaching, but when it comes to actual work, every farmer is different. Some are diligent, some are lazy, some are smart, and some are stupid. ."

"You 'God of Agriculture', improving efficiency is one thing. It is very important to be able to standardize operations. Only standardization can be promoted. Otherwise, even if the yield of my experimental field reaches 3000 jins or 5000 jins per mu, if only scientists can plant it. There’s no point in coming out!”

Zhou Rui nodded, indeed. This was a point that was ignored before.

Farming is a science, and it is a modern science. It needs development, summary, and education and guidance.
  The most powerful people in farming are definitely not the old farmers, but actually the agriculturists.
  Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the elder walking. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he jumped into the field. Zhou Rui quickly followed.

The old man picked up one of the countless plants and looked at it for a long time, and finally said to the people behind him: "Mark this, this is a male-sterile plant. Send it back to keep a sample."

Zhou Rui was greatly shocked. In his eyes, the plants in this place looked exactly the same.
  Not to mention that the other party is over 80 years old.

Someone came to mark him from behind, and the elder continued walking and said:
  "Hybrid rice is also being developed in the United States. The yield of their experimental fields is 1200 jins. If they are planted by the subordinates, they can produce 1000 jins. Our experimental fields have an output of 2000 jins. Many farmers below can only produce 800 jins. Many people say that China's hybrid rice technology is not good. , they are all lies, and some people say that Chinese people are not good, which makes me angry."

The elder's expression is quite vivid and he is an interesting old man.

"They are all big grain merchants, and they are growing by companies. We are all farmers, and the management level is very different. If we all engage in corporate planting, the livelihood of small farmers will be affected, and it will be difficult to manage.
  "If you could standardize some of the intermediate links, it would be great."

For example, today's "new farmers" generally don't worry about "farming and harvesting" because these things are highly mechanized.

If you have a small scale, you need machinery, and the seeds are all high-yielding crops developed by the agricultural science department, and they are all standardized operations.

What really leads to the gap in yield and quality is precisely the fields of "drugs, fertilizers, and insects" that cannot yet be mechanized on a large scale.

And this realm is the realm of the God of Agriculture.
