Scholars in the courtyard

"Director Gao, is the land here like this?"

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth suddenly, thinking of the white crystals on the ground. Compared with the inland areas, the land here is more barren.

"You mean those saline lands?"

"Ah."

Gao Yufeng thought for a while, "Most of the surrounding areas are covered. It is dry all year round, with little rainfall and high temperature, so the crops are grown by irrigation."

"Where we are now, it is relatively mild, and the impact is relatively small. As for other places, cotton is generally grown, and that stuff works well."

Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded, "Under such conditions, it is normal for corn production to decrease."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Gao Yufeng nodded.

"Although the production is reduced, there is a lot of cultivated land here, and with the tractors you have built, the planting volume of this farm exceeds five Yangjiazhuang this year."

Gao Yufeng said happily.

The quality is not enough, the quantity is to make up.

Here, the tractor presses the iron pear, and it only needs to run forward with support. The large flat land is convenient for planting, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

"By the way, does the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have a new type of corn that is resistant to drought and salt?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke suddenly, Gao Yufeng froze suddenly.

The two were silent for a moment, Gao Yufeng wanted to say it several times, but he held it in his chest and didn't know how to say it.

I really haven't thought about this idea.

But who can come up with this drought-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant and high-yielding corn, I guess the person in front of me is the most experienced.

"what do you need."

Gao Yufeng skipped the link of asking questions, saved himself the hassle, and asked directly.

You know, he is the director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so he still has some powers.

Uh!
Yang Xiaotao just mentioned this, and asked if the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has any research in this area. Now it seems that there should be no research!

Looking at Gao Yufeng's appearance, it was time to arrange a task for him.

But after careful consideration, this thing really has room for manipulation, at least there will be this kind of corn in future generations.

Not only here, but also in saline-alkali lands in other places.

Of course, it is also related to the transformation of the soil, the emergence of chemical fertilizers, and scientific management.

"I can try, but I can't guarantee it will work."

Yang Xiaotao said conservatively. After all, there are no ready-made traits here. If you want to cross genetically, you must have that gene.

"Okay, okay, hahaha."

"You go ahead and do it, it's a new project."

Gao Yufeng was a little eager to try, and his thin face even flushed with excitement, "When the time comes, tell me what to do and what is missing, I will find it for you."

"Even if Dean Zheng knows about it, he will support it unconditionally."

"Think about it, if it is really done, here, here, these vast saline-alkali lands are all land, how much food will be grown here."

Gao Yufeng was already thinking about the joy after success, and he didn't see the astonishment on Yang Xiaotao's face at all.

After a while, Gao Yufeng slammed his fists and left the residence happily.

He wants to go back and make a good plan. When spring comes next year, he will set aside a special saline-alkali land for Yang Xiaotao to do experiments on.

Hearing the sound left when he went out, Yang Xiaotao was completely unwell.

To myself, just to say, I really don't have such a strong desire.

I still want to go home as soon as possible.

All in all, regardless of whether Yang Xiaotao asked casually or thought about it seriously, Gao Yufeng took this matter seriously.

Ma Sanxing, the director of the field, was also specially found, and confessed that finding a piece of land in the coming year would be of great use.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao heard the farm discussing this matter while eating, and was speechless again.

Now that things have come to an end, it has to be contrived, at least with an attitude.

As for being accidentally tricked by Xiaowei and succeeding, uh, that's all luck, luck.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao took an excuse to rest and returned to his residence, and began to plan how to make this kind of 'drought-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant corn'.

As for whether it is high-yield or not, if it can grow, it is a profit, so let’s not care about that.

So, Yang Xiaotao started tinkering with corn seeds in the house.

But looking at the piles of corn seeds on the table, Yang Xiaotao was at a loss as to what to do.

Xiao Wei came in and out on the table, her body was wandering like in water, and she would make two whimpers from time to time, reminding herself of her existence.

"Drought resistance, and salt and alkali tolerance, at least find out these two."

"It seems that these three types of corn can survive in the saline-alkali soil, but the saline-alkali land on the farm is slightly, which does not represent all."

"Perhaps, if the salinity increases a little, the land will not be able to live."

The pencil in his hand kept spinning, Yang Xiaotao felt a little helpless.

A mess.

"Forget it, rest and go."

Get up and walk out the door.

Night, farm.

The bonfire is lit, the wind blows sparks into the sky, and then goes out in the night.

The farm had a great meal tonight, and everyone had never been so happy.

So after dinner, there will be after-dinner activities.

Everyone gathered together, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng Ma Sanxing sat together in the yellowing firelight, as if they were the most distinguished guests in the audience.

After a group of people sang, someone stepped forward to perform a hometown dance.

Although there are only more than 200 people here, but the team left behind at the beginning were all established, and there were people from all corners of the country.

Among them, a soldier performed a piece of Yue opera. Although he couldn't understand what was being sung, the tone was very charming.

Everyone is warmly welcome.

No one jokes, no one is embarrassed, this is a passionate era, and on this farm, people like to go straight.

As the activity progressed, Gao Yu also came off the stage and performed a hand-snatching attack on wood. The old horse threw the wood, Gao Yu drew his gun and shot, and the gun hit the target.

Yang Xiaotao failed to clap his hands, this kind of accuracy and feel, just like a fitter, in addition to day and night training, there is also a trace of talent.

"Teacher Yang, come here."

When Yang Xiaotao broke down, Captain Mu suddenly walked to the side of the bonfire, straddled his legs, and assumed a Mongolian fighting posture.

"Teacher Yang, you are a warrior who killed the pack of wolves by yourself."

"And I was also a Batur on the grassland."

"Now, I am willing to challenge you, and I hope you can accept my challenge."

On the side, Gao Yufeng gave Yang Xiaotao the ceremony on the grassland as a unique way for grassland people to make friends. This kind of contest can make people feel at ease.

The prairie man became a life and death brother by virtue of the friendship of wrestling.

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't put on any airs either, he liked such a straightforward guy.

Isn't that just wrestling?He has great strength.

Rolling up his sleeves, Yang Xiaotao walked into the arena.

A group of people around stood up and cheered.

Some were called Batur, some were called Teacher Yang, and the faces of the children flushed with excitement.

The two stood upright. Yang Xiaotao and Mu Duqin were about the same height, but Yang Xiaotao was a bit thinner in comparison.

"Captain Mu, I don't know how to wrestle, I just need to be stronger."

"It's okay, Teacher Yang, we have no rules, whoever falls first loses."

"it is good!"

The two agreed and began to try to fight.

After touching his palm and arm several times, Mu Duqin understood that Yang Xiaotao was really strong.

It is not enough to use a direct method to knock Yang Xiaotao down, so he can only use some skills.

Yang Xiaotao had heard of the fame of grassland wrestling in his previous life, but now he doesn't dare to be careless after the fight.

Seriously take precautions to prevent Mu Duqin from grabbing his clothes.

The two tried to write down again, and finally Mu Duqin saw the opportunity of Yang Xiaotao's staggered footsteps. With a swipe of his right leg, he moved directly to Yang Xiaotao's right.

Yang Xiaotao was hugged before he could react, and his body was thrown aside.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao's physical fitness was high, so he hugged Mu Duqin's neck the moment he fell, and pulled him down together.

In fact, Yang Xiaotao had already lost.

The two got up and the competition continued.

Yang Xiaotao suffered from the disadvantage of not being able to wrestle, and he couldn't take out the bastard fist and hammer, so he could only fight with Mu Duqin to test it out.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotao was also imitating Mu Duqin's movements and began to learn his skills.

The cheers around him grew louder and louder, and finally Mu Duqin couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was showing his weakness again, he bullied him and stretched out his right leg again.

But at this time, Yang Xiaotao had already sat down and got ready.

This time, without waiting for Mu Duqin to exert his strength, Yang Xiaotao ran over first.

As a result, Mu Duqin was turned over by Yang Xiaotao and knocked down, and Yang Xiaotao was also grabbed by Mu Duqin.

Two people each once, it is a tie.

After waiting for a while, he adjusted his position. When Mu Duqin approached, he moved his body to the left. Before Mu Duqin bumped into him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Duqin's cotton-padded jacket. Holding Mu Duqin in the air, Mu Duqin was so frightened that he waved his arms wildly.

Ow~~~
Teacher Yang won, won.

ooh ooh

The children shouted, and many people on the farm also cheered.

After holding it for four or five seconds, Yang Xiaotao put Mu Duqin down.

"Teacher Yang, you are amazing, I admire you."

Mu Duqin regained his expression and walked up to him, speaking sincerely.

Yang Xiaotao became humble, "If there is, I will be stronger."

Mu Duqin shook his head, "Mr. Yang, we have heard about your stick technique for a long time."

"That's right, Teacher Yang, don't be modest." The old horse watched the fun, "I saw it with my own eyes that day. Your stick technique is like killing a wolf like a chicken. You can chop melons and vegetables with each stick. Like."

"You don't know, Mr. Yang jumped out of the car and pulled a branch of Populus euphratica, and then repaired it like this."

Therefore, the next program became Lao Ma's storytelling program, and the name was "Mr. Yang, Populus euphratica is a hero in the forest".

Yang Xiaotao followed Mu Duqin back to the spot and sat down, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and then he heard the old horse talking about himself, but suddenly remembered.

In this Gobi, isn't there something that is resistant to cold and salt and alkali?

Under the suspicion of Gao Yufeng and the others, Yang Xiaotao yelled suddenly, then smiled and ran back to the house.

Gao Yufeng thought it was something important, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said it was all right, then closed the door and started tinkering.

In the room, Yang Xiaotao was playing with this palm-sized piece of Populus euphratica, which Yang Xiaotao cut off from the stick.

The last time Yang Xiaotao got a wooden stick to knock the heads of a group of wolves, he felt that the wood was easy to use, so he became interested in this kind of tree that can survive in the desert.

Later, in the introduction of Director Gao, this kind of tree usually reproduces in summer, and the way of reproduction is similar to that of dandelions. The seeds are scattered everywhere with the wind. place, it will quickly germinate, sprout and grow.

I thought of the introduction in the materials again, Populus euphratica, light-loving, heat-resistant, drought-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant, and wind-sand-resistant.

It is the only tall deciduous tree that can grow into a forest in the desert.

With such a high resistance, compared with those delicate plants, it is simply a 'treasure' in the desert.

And he wants to produce corn that is resistant to drought and salt, and this kind of plant has a high reference value.

Xiaowei was bouncing on the palm of her hand, reaching out her little hand to touch the poplar tree from time to time, which was also novel.

She also likes this strange wood.

Yang Xiaotao frowned, thinking about the possibility in his heart.

Let's see if we can study the characteristics of Populus euphratica, so that Xiaowei can make a kind of corn that is resistant to salt and alkali.

If other people heard about this, they would definitely laugh at it, thinking it was whimsical and impossible.

After all, those are two different plants.

But with Yang Xiaotao, with Xiaowei, everything is possible.
