Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Teacher Zhu’s Classmates (Fifth Update)
The next day at work, Liu Hai was waiting at the factory gate. Today, the teacher brought one of his classmates to see sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things.
"Chief Liu, who are you waiting for?" At the door of the communication room, the guard inside looked at Liu Hai standing here and asked.
"Wait for my teacher." Liu Hai turned around and spoke to the other party.
"Chief Liu, can I get you a stool?"
"It's okay, it'll be over in a moment."
"Where can I get you some water?"
"You're welcome, I won't drink."
"Chief Liu!"
"Chief Liu."
Liu Hai was at the door for a while, and many people greeted him. Finally he saw the teacher, riding a bicycle, and behind him was a man, about the same age as the teacher.
"Teacher." Liu Hai hurried out to greet him.
Zhu Haiyang pointed to a man wearing glasses and said, "This is my classmate from the Agricultural College. His surname is Zhou."
"Teacher Zhou."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
"Register here?" Teacher Zhou looked at the gate of the Kyoto Motorcycle Factory, then looked at the factory name next to it, and asked.
The person in the reception room quickly said: "No, no need."
"Let's register." Zhu Haiyang said, and finally registered, leaving the bicycle here.
"Classmate Liu Hai, Lao Zhu has already told us that you are very smart." Teacher Zhou walked along and saw many people greeting the young people in front of him, Section Chief Liu, Section Chief Liu, and it seemed that The relationship is all very good.
"The teacher is praising me. Let's go and sit in the office first?" Liu Hai asked.
"Let's take a look at the sweet potatoes first," Teacher Zhou said.
Liu Hai took Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhu to the laboratory together. Teacher Zhou said: "Old Zhu may not understand that there are two aspects to breeding now. The first is selective breeding, which means selecting the best ones in the field. Plants. In the past two years, we found several high-yielding rice plants in a rice field in northern Jiangsu. Unfortunately, the traits were unstable in the end and could not be reproduced. We have to rely on the comrades below to report more. Last year, we also found a dwarf rice plant in Shanxi. After being planted this year, the sorghum has returned to its original height."
"The second is to use wild varieties to crossbreed. This is also a general direction. But for seeds, sometimes there is no problem in one or two generations, but there is a high chance of problems in three or four generations. Plus the grain growth cycle, it is very likely that one project will do it. Ten years and then failure.”
Liu Hai nodded. He had heard in his previous life that a certain rice variety had high yields in the experimental fields, but after the masses planted it, there was almost no harvest. Because the disease resistance was so poor, it was impossible for the masses to learn the management methods of the fields. , otherwise you will lose your pants.
"It's right here. This area used to be a wasteland. Some of the sweet potatoes grow very well. The same goes for potatoes. I thought the potato seeds were shriveled, but I didn't expect them to grow." The sweet potatoes on Liu Hai's side are grown together. Yes, so do potatoes, including corn.
Teacher Zhou looked at the sweet potato vines here and was not surprised. The sweet potatoes from the south are much better than this one.
However, a few corns in the distance looked unusual.
"Can you dig one up and take a look?" Teacher Zhou carefully identified the sweet potatoes and turned over the sweet potato vines. He looked at the small earth bags and the cracks on the earth bags. Teacher Zhou asked.
"Of course." Liu Hai brought a hoe and Teacher Zhou did it himself.
Teacher Zhou dug up a small soil bag and found that the sweet potatoes were really different. He looked at the root system carefully, then found a knife, washed it, cut it open, looked at it, and tasted it.
"It looks pretty good now, but the details still need to be tested. This is a wasteland, and you have burned so much grass and wood ash. It's hard to judge now."
"However, due to sudden changes in the environment, it is possible for good mutations to occur." Teacher Zhou was not sure because he could see that the grass and trees in the ground were gray and black.
Zhu Haiyang asked: "How to test?"
"Dig out these vines and sweet potatoes, and I'll find someone to transport them to the south for testing. The same goes for potatoes." Teacher Zhou said.
Liu Hai nodded; "Sorry, Teacher Zhou."
"We should thank you for this. We actually have to go to various places every year. A lot of food actually starts from mutations, but some mutations are very stable and some are unstable. These sweet potatoes have high yields here, but they may have high yields in other places. It's just very low. The environment, temperature, etc. have a great influence." Teacher Zhou was not sure.
When Liu Hai heard this, he said, "That orange is in the south."
"When oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines; when oranges grow in Huaibei, they become tangerines." Zhu Haiyang said.
"Yes, yes, that's the truth, but these corns feel different."
"Some of them were brought from my hometown, and some were given to me by my colleagues in the factory last year."
"Let's talk about this when we're mature."
"Okay, let's dig together." Liu Hai nodded.
When Sun Aiguo heard that Teacher Liu Hai was coming, he came to the laboratory. When he came in, he saw Liu Hai digging sweet potatoes, and two young men were also there.
"Director, this is my teacher, Teacher Zhu. This is Teacher Zhou from the Agricultural College. This piece of sweet potato I have looks good. I asked Teacher Zhou to come and have a look." Liu Hai saw Sun Aiguo coming and introduced him. .
"Teacher, this is factory director Sun Aiguo."
"Director Sun."
"Teacher Zhu, Teacher Zhou."
"Teacher Zhu, thank you for cultivating talents for our factory. You must have lunch here today."
"Director Sun, you're welcome."
A few people were polite for a while. In the small canteen at noon, if nothing unexpected happened, Teacher Zhu and Teacher Zhou finally slipped under the table.
As for the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and sweet potato vines sent to the south (only the vines, not the leaves), Sun Aiguo directly sent them to the train station and asked an acquaintance to check them in.
Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhu got up from the dormitory of Liu Hai's laboratory in the afternoon, drank two cups of tea, and then left quickly. If they didn't leave, they might come again in the evening.
"Hayang, you are not an ordinary disciple. You occupy such a large area of the factory." Teacher Lu Zhouzhou and Zhu Haiyang pushed the cart together and said as they walked.
Zhu Haiyang shook his head: "Liu Hai did say there was a laboratory, but I didn't expect it to be so big."
"Your disciple is so smart. I looked at those Russian books and they all have bookmarks. They also have a very high level of drawing skills. The things in the laboratory are better than those in your school laboratory."
"And when we were having dinner, the director of the factory office and the director of the factory, no one of your disciples could persuade you not to drink." At the wine table at this time, you said it's okay not to drink. No matter who it is, bangs can be there It's worth saying that we don't drink at the banquet table, but still go with the factory director and secretary.
Zhu Haiyang did know a few things, such as motorcycle engines, but he didn't know how to talk about them, so he smiled and said, "Everyone likes smart people."
"That's right, let's go, otherwise my lover will be nagging me when I get home."
"Thank you for today."
"Our classmates said this politely."
When Sun Aiguo heard that Teacher Zhu was gone, he said with some regret, "Xiao Liu, I also wanted to entertain Teacher Zhu well in the evening."
"What are Li Dali and the other three doing?"
"Making snowmobiles, factory director, didn't I report to you?"
"Did you report it? Maybe I forgot. How is the progress of the snowmobile?"
