Chapter 1537 Yang Xiaotao’s method
Early the next morning, Yang Xiaotao gathered people in the school classroom and prepared to assign tasks.

But when someone came to report that a leader had entered the village, Yang Xiaotao quickly took people out to greet him.

After a while, an old man wearing a military coat was seen striding over, with a guard following behind him.

Yang Xiaotao recognized from afar that it was Mr. Tao who was here.

This is the immediate boss of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Especially in the past two years, agriculture has developed rapidly, and the promotion and cultivation of hybrid corn has opened up the situation. Later, hybrid wheat and hybrid rice are not far away from success, which makes its position more and more important.

As the country pays more and more attention to it, Mr. Tao's status is now higher than that of Mr. Huang.

After all, Mr. Huang is only the boss of the First Machinery Department, while Mr. Tao is the boss of the entire agriculture.

"Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward quickly.

When Mr. Tao saw it was Yang Xiaotao, he smiled and said, "I heard that you are about to start work. I'll come over and take a look!"

"The higher-ups are paying a lot of attention to this action. The three of you are our three knives. Whether you can cut off this piece of meat is related to our face!"

Tao Lao said seriously, "How are you preparing?"

Mr. Tao asked, and Yang Xiaotao followed.

"The village has built two greenhouses yesterday, and today five greenhouses can be built. We are going to experiment today..."

Yang Xiaotao quickly went to talk about his plan, and Mr. Tao nodded while listening.

The two came to the classroom quickly. Everyone in the room was curious, and many people did not know Mr. Tao.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to make an introduction but was interrupted by Mr. Tao, "I'm here this time just to see the work of my comrades."

“I don’t know much about this, so what I can do to help is limited!”

"But if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this. "With your words, I feel more at ease!"

Mr. Tao smiled, "I'm just here to protect you!"

"Go!"

After Mr. Tao finished speaking, he led the guards to the side of the classroom and sat down, as if he were a teacher listening to the class.

Seeing everyone's eyes full of curiosity, Yang Xiaotao coughed slightly to attract everyone's attention.

"Captain Hou, please tell me about the research progress!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's voice, Hou Lijing immediately stepped onto the podium, came to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and began to speak.

"Captain, during this period, based on the data sent back by Director Gao and others, we have done a lot of work!"

"Especially the overall properties of the soil have been figured out, and it is quite different from the soil structure here."

Hou Lijing wrote a series of nouns on it, and then listed two columns of data at the back.

Of course, this is not an exact number, but a general range.

Yang Xiaotao squinted his eyes and compared the gap between the two sides in his mind.

"Team Yang!"

After Hou Lijing finished writing, she began to analyze it.

"Based on what we concluded, pH was the first big difference."

"We analyzed the soil in the greenhouse and its pH was between 6.5 and 7.0."

"But the information sent by Director Gao shows that the pH of the producing area of ​​Artemisia annua is between 7.0 and 7.5."

"In other words, both are neutral soils, but the pH is obviously higher in the northwest."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Mr. Tao in the corner also nodded silently.

When it comes to herbal medicine, any factor may lead to a difference, so don’t dare to be careless in the slightest.

Mr. Tao also understood the reason. He also understood this when he called the dean last night.

“We can adjust this with chemical fertilizers!”

Hou Lijing nodded, obviously this is the most suitable method at the moment.

As for where to get the fertilizer, that's not their concern.

With Team Yang here, there will be no problem!
But Yang Xiaotao looked at Mr. Tao, who nodded slightly.

"Other than that, it's the temperature and the temperature difference."

Hou Lijing pointed to the data and said, "According to the habit of Artemisia japonica, it begins to grow in summer, and the temperature in the northwest region is between 23°C and 35°C during the day and between 9°C and 20°C at night. The temperature difference is 15°C but about 20°C. "

“If we want to simulate the environment, we need to meet this requirement.”

"Otherwise, the temperature cannot be reached and the temperature difference cannot be reached. It would be easy..."

When Hou Lijing said this, she looked at everyone and said, "It's easy not to grow, or in other words, when it grows, it won't be the one we need."

"However, how to control the temperature and find out the appropriate temperature pattern is a very time-consuming matter."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this. He knew about Nan Ju and Bei Zhi, and he also knew the impact of soil and climate on plants.

But now, they have no other choice.

"Classmates, comrades!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and came to the podium.

I took out the chalk and drew a line on the temperature.

Then his tone became solemn.

"Temperature, temperature difference, this will be the focus and difficulty of our future work!"

"Any slight mistake may make our efforts and investment in vain."

"And the consequence is mission failure."

"The consequences of mission failure will be very serious!"

"We can't afford to lose."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously. It was the first time he saw Yang Xiaotao so serious. Below him was not only Hou Lijing, but also the student who used to follow him. His heart felt heavy and he felt great pressure.

"I hope everyone will cheer up and strive to complete this mission!"

"Now, let me tell you the experimental plan!"

Everyone immediately picked up pen and paper to record it.

"Captain Hou, how many seeds of Artemisia japonica are there?"

Hou Lijing nodded, "Captain, because the matter is urgent, the comrades in the northwest collected more than five kilograms in total, and only about one kilogram was assigned to our third echelon."

"We counted, there were about 8,500 pills!"

After hearing the accurate value, Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction.

This shows that he has enough quantity for Xiaowei to experiment.

"Next, we are divided into two groups, one and two." "Team Hou and Team Wang each lead a group of people."

Yang Xiaotao began to arrange tasks, and everyone listened carefully.

"Team Wang, your team is responsible for preparing the soil, and I will ask someone to bring in chemical fertilizers."

"Your group is going to prepare soil with different pH levels!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Hao immediately raised his hand and Yang Xiaotao nodded. Then Wang Hao asked, "Team Yang, since we have soil samples from the northwest, why don't we just follow the ones there?"

"We can do the records on the pH of the soil over there, but can you guarantee that the soil there will be suitable for the climate and environment here?"

Wang Hao couldn't guarantee it.

"Do more gradients just to avoid accidents!"

"understand!"

Wang Hao nodded and began to select team members, who were basically all young guys.

After all, stirring the soil is no light activity.

"The rest, Group Two, are responsible for controlling temperature changes."

Yang Xiaotao then made targeted arrangements.

First, Yang Xiaotao made full use of the five greenhouses built first.

Secondly, place a hundred wooden boxes in each greenhouse, plant seeds, and mark them.

The last step is to divide the temperatures.

Divide according to the temperature in the northwest, and control the temperature difference within 15°C.

The method is very simple. When the temperature is low, start the stove and when the temperature is high, ventilate.

"That's all I said, do you understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Mr. Tao calculated in his mind that this method was not a solution, but it included all the issues considered in the northwest and southwest, especially the temperature requirements. He made a detailed division and gave a solution. .

Under the current tight time situation, Yang Xiaotao's experiment of casting a net has become the best way at present.

Even if the success rate is not high, it is still a method.

Of course, he didn't know why Yang Xiaotao dared to do this because he relied on Xiaowei.

This is why Yang Xiaotao asked the lumber factory to prepare 500 wooden boxes.

With Xiaowei here, I can clearly detect the situation of the grass seeds in the wooden box.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao can also ask Xiaowei to use her ability to ripen grass seeds.

But that's not what Yang Xiaotao wants.

What Yang Xiaotao wants is to find a suitable environment to make greenhouse cultivation possible.

Of course, if a suitable solution cannot be found in the end and both the dean and Gao Yufeng fail, Yang Xiaotao will also let Xiaowei take action.

After all, Yang Xiaotao still knows the importance of life-saving medicines!

"Chief!"

After everything was arranged, Yang Xiaotao looked at Mr. Tao aside, "What instructions do you have?"

"No, you arranged it well."

Mr. Tao sat in his seat and felt that he had nothing to add. He had thought of everything that should be thought of, and it was even more comprehensive than the plans submitted by Sichuan, Shu and Northwest.

As for whether it can succeed, it depends on God's will.

Then everyone started busy as instructed. Mr. Tao followed Yang Xiaotao to the greenhouse. Looking from a distance, three greenhouses had been covered with films, and the remaining two were being put up.

There are busy people everywhere.

Mr. Tao moved forward, accompanied by Yang Xiaotao.

"Master, grandpa, this is Chief Tao."

When they arrived in front of the group, Grandpa, Lao Jin and the old principal were smoking. They only came forward when they saw Yang Xiaotao leading people over.

Mr. Tao had heard of Mr. Yang and knew who Grandpa Yang Xiaotao was, so he immediately stepped forward and had a warm exchange with several elderly people.

"Chief, don't worry, these hundred and ten greenhouses are nothing to worry about."

The grandfather patted his chest and promised, "As long as the several villages around us unite and mobilize, they will be able to do it before the year."

Mr. Tao was full of smiles after hearing this and kept nodding his head, "I believe it. I believe in the abilities of comrades and villagers."

"I believe that with the cooperation between industry and agriculture, there is no task that cannot be completed."

Then Mr. Tao, accompanied by a group of people, came to the greenhouse that was completed first. As soon as he entered, he felt that it was much warmer than the ice and snow outside.

At this moment, the people above were laying the straw curtains. Several people stood on the wall, and then used long bamboo poles to push the straw curtains and roll them down.

"This kind of curtain made of straw can effectively retain heat and prevent the greenhouse temperature from being too low and affecting growth."

Yang Xiaotao explained on the side, and Mr. Tao nodded, "Is this straw curtain enough?"

"These are enough now, but if we build one hundred greenhouses, it will definitely not be enough."

"You write down the regulations on how to make straw curtains. I will send someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang later. I will finish the work there and then send it to you."

"By the way, I'll also send it to Northwest."

Mr. Tao thought for a moment and then made up his mind.

Since the higher-ups were fully supportive, there was nothing else he could say.

"That's great. We mobilized the whole village to do it overnight. It would be better if someone helped."

Yang Xiaotao said, and then continued walking in the greenhouse.

“It’s close to the river, so watering is not a problem.”

After a round of introductions, Mr. Tao was very satisfied with the construction of the greenhouse. All aspects had been taken into consideration, and the most important thing was that it was effective.

It was indeed warm inside.

"I will arrange supplies for fertilizers, straw curtains, and relevant personnel as soon as possible."

"What you have to do is go all out to plant these grasses."

Before leaving, Mr. Tao spoke earnestly. Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately after hearing this, "Don't worry, chief. I am confident."

Mr. Tao had a smile on his face after hearing this. Somehow, after this trip, the worries in his heart were much less.

Maybe this is the power that confident people give people.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

As the car drove away, Yang Xiaotao turned back and rushed to the greenhouse.

Now that I've said it, if I can't do it, it will be a big loss.
