Scholars in the courtyard

"I brought you a present."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the old man smiled, "Well, this is a present for dinner, so I have to accept it."

"Chief, I didn't buy it, but I called it for you to use."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao handed over the wolf fur on his left hand.

The old man looked serious, looked at the slightly vicissitudes of the face, and took it solemnly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yang Xiaotao pursed his lips, biting the flesh inside his teeth, his eyes suddenly felt a little disappointed, wanting to
Thousands of words, at this moment, take a deep breath, shake your head hard, "It's not hard, it's not hard."

The old man could see that Yang Xiaotao was suppressing the excitement in his heart, and gently squeezed his hand.

"Don't be nervous, here today, just treat it as a normal walk."

"You guys, if you're here, don't go in, come in and talk."

A female voice came from the room, and then a woman of short stature came out, wearing an apron, obviously busy just now.

The old man smiled, "Go in quickly, the hostess has spoken, go in quickly."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, looked at the woman with a respectful expression.

The woman was also looking at Yang Xiaotao with a kind smile on her face.

"Just got off the train, you're tired."

"Hello."

"Not tired!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to call it, or rather, it didn't feel right to call him anything.

"Also, wash your face and eat something later, even if you take the train."

The woman is nagging like a mother, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, inadvertently, warming their hearts.

"Oh, good!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how he walked, anyway, it was a bit different from normal walking.

On the other side, the old man met Gao Yufeng and shook hands with Section Chief Yu. After talking cordially, they walked into the room.

Yang Xiaotao washed his hands, then stood aside.

"Quick, sit down, sit down."

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng sat on the side next to the old man, and Dean Zheng and Section Chief Yu sat on both sides.

Although it was a meal, it was only the two of them who really ate.

On the table is a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a plate of millet porridge.

In addition, each person has a large bowl filled with hand-rolled noodles.

"You two came all the way from the Northwest by train. I have something to bring you here."

Cough
"Let's eat first and then talk about business."

The woman reminded me, and the old man laughed, "Yes, let's eat first, come, and try my family's handicrafts."

"The dishes are a little less, a little more simple, you just make do with it."

As he spoke, he asked Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng to move his chopsticks.

"No no, it's pretty good."

Gao Yufeng spoke quickly, and the old man nodded, "The people's economy needs to be built, but the atmosphere of hard work and simplicity must not be lost."

Yang Xiaotao held the bowl and nodded vigorously.

The old man is so hard and simple, and when he thinks about his own life, he feels inexplicably ashamed.

In the future, we must be more difficult and simple.

Holding the chopsticks, he carefully picked up a peanut.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao move his chopsticks, Gao Yufeng also started to eat.

Yang Xiaotao lightly crushed the peanuts, then ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.

Eating quickly, but without sound.

There is oil and water floating on the noodles, and it tastes very warm to the stomach.

"Why do you just eat noodles and vegetables?"

As the old man said, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the shredded potatoes and put them in Yang Xiaotao's bowl, and then picked up another piece for Gao Yufeng.

Yang Xiaotao ate with his head down.

Everyone else looked at the two, two people who lowered their heads and ate carefully.

The woman on the side smiled and shook her head.

Yang Xiaotao quickly finished eating the noodles, arranged the bowl and chopsticks neatly, and sat up straight.

"Did you finish eating so soon?"

The old man watched Yang Xiaotao finish eating quickly, feeling a little emotional.

"When I was young, so did I. I had to do various things, and sometimes I had to fight. I had to eat fast, otherwise I would have no strength."

"But now, my stomach is failing. I have to eat soft things."

As the old man chattered, Yang Xiaotao could feel the closeness around him.

As the old man said, Yang Xiaotao clenched his palms tightly, then mobilized all his strength, raised his hand and slowly grabbed the old man's hand that was placed aside.

The old man looked over and didn't care, "So, one has to obey the old."

"You are still young"

Yang Xiaotao listened carefully, and he had already connected with Xiaowei on his chest in his heart, mobilizing the greatest energy in his body.

The old man felt that Yang Xiaotao's hand was a little hot, and smiled again, "Eat another bowl."

"No, no need."

"This is not your appetite, have another bowl."

"No, really"

At this time, the woman had already picked up the bowl, filled another bowl and placed it in front of Yang Xiaotao.

"Eat quickly, don't be restrained, he and I are two old people."

Yang Xiaotao let go, nodded and picked up the bowl again. This time, Yang Xiaotao ate very slowly.

5 minute later.

Yang Xiaotao put down the bowl, looked at the others waiting for him, and sat up straight in embarrassment.

"I am full."

Yang Xiaotao said in embarrassment, and the old man laughed heartily.

"We're full, let's get down to business."

The old man's expression changed, he got up and walked to the study.

Dean Zheng got up and followed.

When he came to the study room, a row of bookshelves came into view first. Yang Xiaotao stood in front of the shelves and looked at it. There were more books here than at home.

After just a glance, Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and sat down behind Director Zheng.

Waiting for everyone Last night, Secretary Tang came in to refill a bowl of tea for a few people, and then went out.

The old man nodded to Dean Zheng, and then Dean Zheng began to briefly describe the situation.

Yang Xiaotao finally understood why he was in such a hurry to find them.

At the same time, I knew in my heart that the other party was starting an experiment.

After all, they got enough parental capital from Yangjiazhuang.

It's just that these seeds have been tampered with by Xiaowei, and the corn grown in the greenhouse is no problem now.

But if it is planted in the wild, I hope it will not encounter strong winds.

The energy modified by Xiaowei at the beginning directly removed the lodging resistance gene, resulting in genetic defects.

It's just that he couldn't say anything about this matter, especially the security issues that Section Chief Yu was in charge of, and he always felt that there was nothing unusual about it.

He can't say that the other party used the task completed by embedding flowers and trees.

Don't say that you can't explain it, but if you know it and let the other party succeed, this motive is impure.

In short, this matter cannot be said.

Yang Xiaotao still has some sense.

"This matter is very urgent. The comrades in front are negotiating on this matter."

The old man had a look of sadness on his face, and the exchange team he sent was negotiating with the other party. Although the agreement had been signed, but the other party, as one of the superpowers on Blue Star, really wanted to renege on his debt, and the agreement was a piece of toilet paper.

"If the other party has already mastered this technology, then it will be the worst outcome. Our comrades will be very passive, and it is difficult to realize the supplies promised by the agreement."

"If the other party is experimenting and wants to analyze this technology, what is the result? You need to give the answer."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at several people.

Gao Yufeng didn't say a word after hearing this. He has experience in field planting research, but if he wants to talk about theoretical support, let's forget it.

Soon, everyone's eyes focused on Yang Xiaotao.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao had already planned his speech in his mind.

Obviously, Maozi can produce corn seeds. Not surprisingly, he will use greenhouse technology to complete the breeding, and then plant them on a large scale in the next year.

In this way, not only can you get rid of the shackles on your head, but also save a lot of material and money, and enhance your national strength.

The other party can't wait.

So Yang Xiaotao can't say that the other party can't complete the breeding, but he can give a positive judgment on the defects of the breeding.

And this requires an answer from the perspective of genetic recombination.

When everyone looked over, Yang Xiaotao showed a confident smile.

Seeing this, the old man felt relieved. Those who still have this calmness at this time are either veterans of deception, or have real skills and full of confidence.

He believed more in the latter.

"Chief, Dean, actually we don't have to worry."

"The other party's doing this is purely a way of death."

The old man snorted, his eyes widened, and he became interested.

Then the body sat forward.

"Tell me."

"Okay!" Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked around, "I need a pen and a piece of paper."

The old man got up and picked up a pen and a blank scrap of paper from the desk.

After Yang Xiaotao took it, he immediately said, "The reason why hybrid corns are hybridized is to combine the superior traits together, gather them in one corn kernel, and then germinate and grow to become the corn we need."

"Yangcun No. [-] is a combination of tall poles, long sticks, large grains and lodging-resistant shapes in the experiment."

"I wrote in the paper that the tall corn is dominant to the short stem, coded as D, the long stem is dominant to the short stem, coded as E, the large kernel is dominant to the small kernel, coded as F, and it is not resistant to lodging Resistance to lodging is dominant, numbered H."

Yang Xiaotao wrote the English letters of the representative traits on it, and then explained to several people, "When maize reproduces, it follows the principle of meiosis, that is, during the division process, alleles are separated with the separation of homologous chromosomes, and non-homologous chromosomes are separated. Free assortment of non-allelic genes on chromosomes."

"It may sound abstract, so let me make a simple gesture."

Immediately Yang Xiaotao wrote out several possible matching characters.

Looking at the 16 combinations written by Yang Xiaotao on the straw paper, everyone thought carefully.

Simple math problems can still be understood by everyone.

"That is to say."

There are sixteen kinds of gametes from this corn, and there are sixteen kinds of sperm and eggs. Under this combination, there are 256 possibilities.

A few people nodded, that's how it works in mathematics.

The old man pondered for a moment, "You mean, it's difficult for them to reverse the original plant through our corn kernels?"

"Sir, it's not difficult, but it's impossible."

"You see, what we need for the original strain is a homozygote, which is the same."

"But in these permutations, half of them are heterozygotes, and they behave the same as homozygotes."

"These shapes are corn kernels, not the letters we see that can be easily ruled out."

"They want to find out in this way, and it will be impossible if they don't have a few years or even ten years."

"So the seeds they are making now are all problematic seeds, and no homozygotes can be found at all."

Yang Xiaotao said confidently, the old man looked at the paper for a while, then looked at Dean Zheng, who nodded silently.

"affim?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I'm sure."

"Chief, don't look at the other party's hotness, some of these seeds are indeed growing just like ours."

"But they missed one most important thing."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Lodging resistance. This is a recessive gene."

When Dean Zheng and Gao Yufeng heard about it, they were stunned for three seconds, and then laughed.

The old man saw it and knew that they had understood Yang Xiaotao's intentions, so he hurriedly asked.

Yang Xiaotao signaled Gao Yufeng to speak, and the other party nodded and said, "Boss, this lodging resistance is a recessive gene, which means it is difficult to see from the appearance of corn, but it can be highlighted as long as it encounters strong winds."

"At the beginning, the corn fields in Yangjiazhuang were hit by strong winds, and many corns were blown down, but the hybrid corns have resistance genes, and there was no major loss."

The old man understood, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he was even more excited when he thought of something.

"Chief, if there is a strong wind during pollination, what will happen."

"Substantial production cuts."

The old man gave the answer directly.

"Yes, it may even be a failure."

"At that time, if there is no harvest, we can only rely on blood transfusions from outsiders and imports to buy food."

"If it is not dealt with properly, there will be famine."

The more the old man spoke, the more dignified he became, and the three people below all nodded.

Yang Xiaotao didn't think there was anything wrong. If the other party completed the task in a proper manner, the two parties might benefit from each other.

But want to play tricks, huh, huh.

He doesn't mind teaching the other party an unforgettable lesson.

As for the possible misfortune of the other party, is it none of his business?
