Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

In order to prevent Professor Lou and his researchers from being too surprised, Wang Lu casually put aside the sea rice seeds that had been nourished by vitality energy, planning to return them to them after a while.

In this way, it took Wang Lu more than half a month to remember this matter.

It was while delivering some supplies to Professor Lou and the others that Wang Lu remembered it when he saw Professor Lou's hesitant expression, and hurriedly asked Parker to send over the sea rice seeds he had improved.

Professor Lou looked at the sea rice seeds that seemed to have no change and planted them with hesitation. Who told them that there was no progress in their current work.

In the following days, Wang Lu was also busy with related matters at the ranch. In fact, there was nothing that required him to be busy. Basically, he just wandered around twice a day. Moreover, his most important main task of having a second child was not completed yet. Well, we must work harder.

In the past two days, the mothers on both sides have even begun to discuss whether to stew Wang Lu with something tonic to replenish his body.

Wang Lu looked at the fresh seafood shipped by air, as well as the freshly slaughtered beef kidneys and pig kidneys from the farm, and he immediately got excited!

As the days passed, the sea rice cultivation and trial planting plan was restarted.

Wang Lu occasionally learned about Professor Lou's progress from Parker and the veterans. It was said that the progress was good.

As the saying goes, God pays off and as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.

Others don't know this, but Wang Lu knows it very well. After several months of hard work during this period, his plan for a second child has finally made initial progress. With the experience of conceiving Wang Jiashu, Zhou Rou almost has I just had a hunch, so I took a test strip one morning and got hit.

This made the whole family very happy. Wang Lu also breathed a sigh of relief. He could hardly hold it anymore...

Along with the good news about the second child, there was also good news from Professor Lou’s team.

The experimental breeding work of sea rice has achieved complete success.

At first, it was only the sea rice seeds provided by Wang Lu that successfully overcame the local saline-alkali environment, and the seedlings that grew were quite strong, without the wilting of the first batch of seedlings. This change made the entire team excited.

And after a growth cycle of about 120 days, these sea rice successfully produced ears of rice, and the yield seemed to be quite high.

Generally speaking, as long as the yield of seawater rice reaches 300 kilograms per mu, it basically meets the requirements. With China's domestic technology, the highest yield of seawater rice can reach 500 kilograms per mu, which is limited by the local climate and environment.

Seeing that the first batch of sea rice was about to be harvested, Professor Lou personally invited Wang Lu to the experimental field to witness it.

Wang Lu naturally would not refuse.

After arriving at the saline-alkali land test field near Arusha City, the golden scene that Wang Lu expected was somewhat different. Instead, what came into view was a field of red and purple rice ears.

This was something Wang Lu had never seen before.

I couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Why is this thing so sexy?"

Professor Lou on the side smiled and explained:

"Our seawater rice is different from ordinary rice. The content of selenium in these rice grown in saline-alkali land is relatively high, so it shows this color. From this perspective, our seawater rice is still beneficial to human health. Not bad!”

After hearing this, Wang Lu also nodded understandingly.

Of course, seawater rice also has disadvantages, that is, the taste is far inferior to hybrid rice grown on ordinary land.

Therefore, even in China, the research and development of seawater rice is mainly to increase food reserves. However, when many countries in Africa are in short supply of food, it is perfect to use saline-alkali land to grow seawater rice. After all, the locals have not yet reached the level of pursuing the taste and quality of food, and eating full is the first priority.

With the arrival of Wang Lu, mechanized harvesters soon entered the field and started harvesting, continuously harvesting the well-growing sea rice along the ridges of the saline-alkali land.

After Wang Lu watched for a while, the first acre of sea rice was soon harvested.

The researchers under Professor Lou also stood by the grain bin of the harvester, waiting for statistics to record the rice yield in this acre of sea water.

As the seawater rice in the harvester's granary is poured down, the weighing process begins.

Then the young researcher shouted excitedly.

"Six hundred and fifty kilograms!"

After hearing this number, let alone the young team members, even Lou Yabo, a mature and prudent professor, couldn't help but stand up. After a while, he realized that Wang Lu was also beside him. Then he sat down again.

In fact, the figure of 650 kilograms was far beyond his expectations. This was much more than the optimal output they had expected.

Although this is only the yield of the first acre and does not represent the overall situation, such good news will undoubtedly give all researchers a shot in the arm.

"Quick, continue harvesting weighing and recording data, and calculate the average yield per mu as soon as possible!"

Lou Yabo also immediately gave orders.

In fact, he didn't need to emphasize it. All members of the sea rice research team were already busy, and the harvesting machinery waiting to enter the scene had all received operation instructions. The scene was immediately in full swing.

The entire harvesting operation took less than half a day to complete.

After all, it is a test field and the scale is not very large.

The harvesting and weighing operations were also carried out on site, so the average yield per mu was quickly delivered to the person in charge, Lou Yabo.

Wang Lu saw Professor Lou shaking slightly from the side. It seemed that the average yield per mu would not be low!

As expected, Wang Lu soon got the final per-acre yield data of this batch of sea rice from Professor Lou next to him.

The average yield per mu is 670 kilograms.

This data can be said to have declared the complete success of this trial breeding of sea rice!

Even the local agricultural officials responsible for the docking were very excited after learning the news.

After all, there is a large amount of saline-alkali land waiting to be developed locally. If all the seawater rice developed by the Chinese team can be planted, the local annual food production will be greatly improved. They may even have the opportunity to become the largest food exporter in Africa. maybe.

The huge benefits contained in this made these agricultural officials laugh and get rich!

And compared with other industrial chains, agriculture is the only one that can be played successfully in the local area. (End of chapter)
