Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1312 The worst case scenario is starting from scratch

Town hospital.

The sky is slightly bright.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at the hospital by car, there were guards inside and outside the hospital. Especially when entering the housing area, the guards were even stricter.

The two of them showed their certificates along the way and then came outside the ward.

In the corridor, dim lights were on, the lights were low, and a person was sitting there in trance. .

As footsteps sounded, the person sitting on the chair turned his head and looked over.

Under the light, Yang Xiaotao could see clearly that it was An Ran who had been to Sijiu City.

"Yang, Teacher Yang!"

An Ran looked at the person in front of him in surprise. After recognizing Yang Xiaotao, he felt a little excited and a little depressed.

"Be safe."

"How is Team Leader Yuan doing?"

Yang Xiaotao came to the front and looked at the girl with red eyes and a haggard face. She still had the turbulent look in her memory.

"Teacher Yuan, it's not good to be hit!"

An Ran looked worried, tears welling up in his eyes.

They have experienced too many failures and setbacks, but they have never been like this before, as if they were facing an abyss, helpless and powerless.

"I'll go in and take a look. You go back and rest first."

"Tomorrow, we have to go to the fields."

"Now, you can't fall down again. I'm counting on you!"

An Ran nodded vigorously after hearing this, unable to hold back her tears anymore, "Teacher Yang, Yu Hua, Yu Hua."

Woo…

Looking at the girl in front of him who covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly, Yang Xiaotao felt a pain in his heart.

What impressed me most about Yu Hua was his thin body, a pair of particularly eye-catching big ears, and a fair baby face with a bit of shyness. Apart from that, it was his love for work and love for life.

This time, the bullet penetrated the entire cheek from the left cheek. In addition, half of the tongue was broken off.

If the rescue had not been timely, he would have almost died of suffocation due to blockage of his trachea.

"I know, it's okay, as long as the person is still alive, that's fine."

"Right!"

"Ok!"

An Ran nodded vigorously, knowing in her heart that if it wasn't Yu Hua, it would be their teacher who fell.

No matter what happens to Yu Hua, she is determined to follow him in this life!

"I'll go in and take a look."

"it is good."

Yang Xiaotao gently opened the door, and the ward was gloomy.

The first thing he saw was the middle-aged man sitting on the bed beside him.

There is only one person!

"Teacher, why don't you take a rest?"

An Ran exclaimed, and Yang Xiaotao also saw the other person clearly and knew that this was Shennong in his previous life.

Suddenly there was a sense of reverence in my heart.

The middle-aged man looked back, revealing a weathered face in the morning light.

"An Ran, why don't you go and rest?"

His voice was a little hoarse, but when he saw Yang Xiaotao, he realized that he was an outsider and wanted to get up.

It's just that after sitting for a long time, my body feels a little weak when I want to get up.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, offered his hand, and then stood up.

An Ran walked to the other side.

patter

Hao Pingchuan turned on the light, and the room immediately became brighter.

"Teacher, this, this is Yang Xiaotao, Teacher Yang."

After An Ran finished his introduction, Yang Xiaotao also extended his hand.

"Teacher Yuan, this is Yang Xiaotao, we talked on the phone."

"Yang Xiaotao?"

Teacher Yuan murmured, and his expression suddenly appeared.

"Teacher Yang, Team Leader Yang!"

As he said that, he covered Yang Xiaotao's hands with both hands!

"Why are you here? Hurry, sit down!"

Teacher Yuan was polite and the two of them sat down.

Yang Xiaotao looked around and then said, "I was on a business trip in Shanghai. I heard about this and happened to be close, so I came over to take a look."

Hearing this, Teacher Yuan nodded, and then sighed, "I'm sorry for asking you to make this trip!"

"What's the point of being embarrassed? After all, I'm also the leader of the technical team. It's my responsibility to come here."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand indifferently, and then asked about the situation of hybrid rice.

"How far has it progressed now?"

Teacher Yuan thought for a moment and said, "According to the plan, we have found the sterile male plants and can conduct experiments immediately."

"But I didn't want to encounter such a thing!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao comforted him, "It's okay. What does this mean?"

"When I was making corn, you didn't know, from seed selection to cultivation, to observation bit by bit, and then seed selection..."

"To be honest, I wanted to give up many times along the way!"

"But then I thought about it, how could I give up on such an important thing, something so meaningful to the people of the country?"

"On the contrary, the more failures there are, the greater the difficulty. Doesn't it show the value of this matter?"

"If you fail, you have to start all over again!"

"Hey, when I think about it this way, I feel much more comfortable, and I don't feel that the difficulty is so scary."

“Finally, it’s really done!”

Yang Xiaotao smiled freely and casually. The great man once said, "The great pass and the long road are really like iron, but now we are crossing them from the beginning."

"Believe me, as long as we persevere, we will always succeed!"

An Ran on the side nodded vigorously.

Teacher Yuan's eyes became brighter after hearing this.

"Yes!"

"The more they don't want us to do, the more correct we are!"

“The less the enemy wants us to succeed, the harder we must work to succeed.”

As he said that, he looked at Yang Xiaotao.

The same experience gave him more recognition in his expression, "Thank you!"

"I want to learn from you!"

"Learn the spirit of not being afraid of failure!" "No big deal, start all over again!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Teacher Yuan also laughed.

Seeing the teacher regaining his fighting spirit again, An Ran's heart calmed down a little.

"Teacher Yuan, let's talk about the sterile system. What about the other maintaining and restoring systems?"

When Teacher Yuan heard this, he immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao was asking.

He has also been exposed to this three-line hybrid method in the past two years, and there are not many people in China who have studied it.

There happens to be someone in front of me who understands hybridization theory. If I don't ask now, when will I ask?

"Teacher Yang! How old am I? Let's stop being called teacher and leader. How about you call me Brother Yuan and I'll call you brother?"

"Well, it's long overdue."

Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands, "Brother Yuan!"

"Brother Yang!"

Teacher Yuan changed his previous slump and became much more enthusiastic when talking about the hybrid rice experiment.

"Have you also done research on the three-line hybridization method?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, I learned about it when I was reading."

"There is currently research in this area abroad, even in the east."

"Really? How is their research going? Is there any progress?"

"no!"

Yang Xiaotao said with certainty, "You didn't know it back in the day, but even with the theory, it would be difficult to find a CMS based on their barren land."

"If you ask me, China has a vast land and abundant resources to find this thing."

Teacher Yuan nodded in approval after hearing this.

This cross-breeding cannot be done casually in the laboratory. Large-scale breeding requires not only enough space, but also a sufficient natural environment for management.

After all, once the seeds are planted, they will have to go through wind and rain!

Just like the hybrid corn developed by the alliance, it cannot be seen in the laboratory. When it is outdoors, a hidden characteristic that is not resistant to lodging will cause the alliance to suffer heavy losses.

If China hadn't extended a helping hand, the consequences would have been disastrous!

Hao Pingchuan watched the two people's heated discussion. After listening for a while, he didn't understand, so he asked Anran what the recovery system and the maintenance system were.

An Ran didn't know much, so he just told what he knew, "This sterile line is the female parent used to produce hybrid seeds. It has the characteristics of male sterility and can produce seeds that cannot self-pollinate."

"The function of the maintainer line is to cross with the CMS line to produce more CMS plants."

"The task of the restorer line is to restore sexual reproduction in the offspring by pollinating it, thereby producing hybrid rice with restored male dominance."

"Only when these three types of rice varieties are used together can hybrid rice production and research be effectively carried out."

After An Ran finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan both nodded. It was obvious that the other party had understood the point.

Hao Pingchuan was confused when he heard this, but he still used his way of thinking to give an understanding, "This sterile line is the natural castrate, the maintaining line is the executioner who creates the natural castrate, and the restorer line is the one who cures the natural castrate." doctor."

"right?"

Yang Xiaotao silently extended his thumb, "Yes."

"Captain Hao, please go to the car and get my backpack."

Hao Pingchuan nodded, "You people are knowledgeable. When I get back, I will let the boys at home study hard. Then, I will learn from you. If you learn well, you won't have to worry about being hungry."

Saying that, he ran out as fast as he could.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan laughed together.

They are willing and not hungry.

An Ran looked at the sky, stood up and said, "I'm going to buy two steamed buns."

Teacher Yuan thought of something and took out two dollars from his pocket, "Buy some steamed buns!"

An Ran took it, smiled at Yang Xiaotao, and then left.

"I'm coming!"

While the two were talking, Hao Pingchuan had already ran in, holding Yang Xiaotao's backpack.

After taking it, Yang Xiaotao took out a thick ham, a red pepper bottle, and a paper bag under the surprised eyes of the two people. When he opened it, he found fried peanuts.

"Captain Hao, cut everything!"

Hao Pingchuan smiled and took the ham. He recognized it as an old Soviet ham that he had eaten in Forty-Nine City.

There's a lot of meat in it.

He took out a close-fitting knife, washed it with hot water, cut it into two sections, and then cut it in half.

Finally, he licked the knife before putting it back.

At this time, An Ran walked in carrying seven or eight small buns.

A few people sat together and started eating breakfast.

"This ham still tastes the same as before!"

"Try it, you can't get this authentic taste here."

As he said that, he urged An Ran and Teacher Yuan without any hesitation. He took a bite and said after thinking, "Back then, the three of us, Lao Zheng and Bai Ling, were also influential figures in Sijiu City..."

Talking about the past, everyone is also familiar with each other.

"Brother Yang, what instructions does the Academy of Agricultural Sciences give you when you come this time?"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "I came directly from Shanghai, so I just talked to Director Gao. Dean Deng hasn't met yet."

Hao Pingchuan also spoke at this time, "Before coming here, Team Leader Yang's home in Sijiu City was also robbed. These careless guys just don't want to see us well."

Teacher Yuan was surprised when he heard this, and then said seriously, "Brother Yang, you must pay attention to safety."

"Originally I didn't think it was necessary, but this time something happened, I think there are some things that I should pay attention to."

"Keeping yourself useful is the best support for the country and the revolution."

Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I have one advantage, that is, I have self-awareness."

"What you should do and what you shouldn't do, I understand."

When it got light, the four of them left the ward and walked to the ward nearby.

In the room, Yu Hua's entire head was wrapped in gauze, and an esophagus was inserted into his throat.

That shot not only hurt his cheek, but also had an impact on his head. He still hasn't woken up yet.

Looking at Yu Hua who was still sleeping, Teacher Yuan looked sad, "This time, if it wasn't for Xiao Yu, my life would have been on the ground."

"But, I prefer that the person lying inside is me."

Yang Xiaotao reached out and patted his shoulder, "Brother, don't blame yourself."

"The most important thing for us now is to continue the hybrid rice experiment. Only in this way can Xiao Yu's efforts be worthwhile."

"Ok!"

Teacher Yuan took a deep breath and said, "An Ran, you stay and take care of Xiao Yu."

"Lao Di, let's go to the fields."

With that said, he strode outside the hospital.

Although he had not slept all night, his heart was filled with the light at the end of the corridor.

So what if it fails?

Big deal, start all over again.
