Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 898 Traces of a Lifelong Life
Zhou Rui spent the last few days of his business trip at the Weicheng National Marine Rice Research and Planting Base.

The elder asked him to help plant rice, so he planted it steadily for a few days.

June is the critical period for rice jointing and earing. There is a lot of work such as cultivating, topdressing, loosening soil and other chores.

The veteran has no shortage of strong laborers, but Zhou Rui's arrival undoubtedly makes him very happy.

Here, someone was neither "Master Zhou" nor "President Zhou", but just Xiao Zhou. This reminded him of the memory of following the elders and studying agriculture a few years ago.

Get more sun, shed more sweat, use your hands to guess the weight of the rice ears, and use your steps to test the flowering period of the land.

The energy of the elders in recent years has been mainly divided into two parts. One is the "super rice" that has been cultivated for decades, and the other is the "sea rice" that has emerged in the past ten years.

There has been another important change in recent years.

Three years ago, a letter from the elders got the Ministry of Agriculture to immediately conduct an investigation, and secured national subsidies and comprehensive policy support, allowing the newly born god of agriculture to bloom quickly and fully.

At that time, Zhou Rui didn't have the connections he has now. A letter from the elder would save him a year or two at least.

Zhou Rui was stunned: "Why, drive me away?"

Compared with the veteran's super rice, the strategic significance of sea rice is no different. Even if only one tenth of the saline-alkali land can be grown, it is a major breakthrough.

After Zhou Rui took it, he lit it with the elder's lighter and took a sip.

The green rice fields were stirred up and down one after another by drones, which seemed to make them feel particularly happy.

The elder once said that his super rice was grown by agriculturists, with a yield of 2000 kilograms per mu, but ordinary people had to pay half the price. Now with the God of Agriculture’s "four-dimensional integration of medicine, fertilizer, management, and inspection", standardized planting technology has been implanted. Even ordinary farmers can achieve an output of 1600 or even 1700 kilograms, which undoubtedly gave the veteran a new round of work enthusiasm.

He observed for a moment and found that this Saturn was actually one of the first two that he gave to the National Hybrid Rice Center. It was probably specially used to follow the elders to work everywhere.
The model is already old, so I will go back and buy the veteran a new one.

But the significance of this thing is not whether it tastes good or not, but to activate wasteland and increase the arable area.

The elder came over with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands behind his back, pretending to be surprised: "Xiao Zhou, why are you still here?"

Therefore, the elders have basically stayed in Lu Province in the past two years, and occasionally went to Qiong Province and Dong Province, all of which are coastal areas.

I feel like I can work for another ten years.

Zhou Rui simply climbed up the field ridge and hid in the shade of the God of Agriculture. He could avoid the sun and enjoy the cool breeze caused by the ups and downs of the drone.

"I just thought that you have many things to do, so don't waste them all on me."

It was another busy day. In the afternoon, the God of Agriculture came in to topdress the fields, and no one was allowed to stand in the fields.

In addition, there is the sea in the distance, which looks picturesque.
Sea rice is not rice grown in the sea, but super saline-alkali tolerant rice that can survive in severely saline-alkali lands, tidal flats, and tidal lands.

After all, the country’s cultivated land area is 19 billion acres.

So far, the number of "Farmers" nationwide has exceeded 20, basically covering most of the major planting areas. The "standardized agriculture" that the two people discussed at the beginning has gradually matured.

Sea rice is even more tenacious. There are no weeds in the saline-alkali land, and there are even very few insects. It is more suitable for the operation of "God of Agriculture".

The country's saline-alkali land area is 15 billion acres.

The elder said haha ​​and handed over a cigarette: "Huh? Really? Maybe I forgot, hahaha."

"Then you should have said it early in the morning, instead of saying why you didn't mention it when I assigned the task in the morning after I had worked all day."

Zhou Rui tasted the "red sea rice" that was served for breakfast at the hotel a few days ago. It was hard in texture and no more delicious than ordinary rice. If you like hard rice or japonica rice, it would be fine.

The elder said in surprise: "Have you learned to smoke?"

Zhou Rui: "That's right, but I smoke very little."

"how many?"

"Three cigarettes a year, I won't smoke what most people give me."

"Ahem, cough, cough, are you burning incense or smoking?"

"Singing incense is another matter. My rocket is called 'Jingtian No. 1'. Speaking of which, I fire more rockets than I smoke."

The old man and the young man just chatted and puffed away together. As if he remembered something, a cheerful smile appeared on the elder's face.

"Last month, some young people from the Ministry of Agriculture came and told me that our self-sufficiency rate in food rations reached 123% and our self-sufficiency rate in grains reached 107%. What do you think of this?"

"Not only staple foods, but also vegetables, fruits, and cash crops have increased production to varying degrees. You, the God of Agriculture, are so awesome!"

Zhou Rui exhaled a breath of smoke with a smile: "It's not all the credit of 'Farmer God', although it is indeed very impressive."

Infrastructure is getting better, food consumption capacity is increasing, technological levels such as drip irrigation, agricultural machinery, and chemical fertilizers are improving, and even the new generation of farmers are more educated, and they all play a role.

The God of Agriculture simply makes farming easier, more scientific, and more economically valuable.

At this time, the elder suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "I heard people say that although you, the god of agriculture, sell well, you don't make any money?"

Zhou Rui nodded and said truthfully: "It's a loss."

"That's not appropriate. You should at least make some money and don't feel embarrassed. If your company goes bankrupt, you won't have such good equipment in the future."

Zhou Rui laughed and said, "Don't worry! I make a lot of money elsewhere! I'll just sprinkle some water on whatever the God of Agriculture loses~"

"Besides, the road to technology has been opened. Even if I fail or even die, the country will continue to support this path."

This is called "traces". As long as a person lives a lifetime, the traces he leaves behind are dazzling enough, and countless people will follow them and move forward.

Just like the elders, hybrid rice is the trace of the elders’ life.

As for Zhou Rui, the situation is a little more complicated.

There were ruts all over his back.

The God of Agriculture worked very quickly, finishing the top dressing in a short while. The sun in the distance gradually set and turned into a big orange.

Zhou Rui still said truthfully: "I will go back to Jiaodong City in a while and take the flight back to Shanghai tomorrow morning."

He originally planned to say goodbye today, but he didn't know if the elders knew about it in advance.

The elder nodded: "It's time to go back. If I tie you up in a place like this, someone will blame me~"

"Who dares?"

"It's your girlfriend! Hahaha~ Did the two girls make any progress last time?"

"Uh~ Neither of those two"

The elder is talking about Lin Xiaoxiao and Guan Ge.

When we parted, Zhou Rui said: "You can come to Shanghai to see me when you are free. I will take you to the Rehabilitation Department of Zhongshan Hospital. I have my brand-new technology there to make your farming more exciting."

"Are you a doctor now?"

"That's not it. I just have an acquaintance to tell me my name so that it can be useful."

Not only the elders, but also the older senior Mi San, who has not been seen for a year, can be called back to Shanghai to strengthen his muscles.

That night, Zhou Rui returned to Jiaodong and made a final trip to the lithium-sulfur battery laboratory, where he stayed until the early morning.

When I left, I left behind a lot of research guidance, including key points derived from quantum reading, an important catalyst needed for industrial production (from catalytic insights), and a first-generation guide for drones and smart devices. Design of small and medium-sized lithium-sulfur commercial batteries.

Before leaving, Fan Zusong took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to give Mr. Zhou a fortune and see if tomorrow's journey would be smooth sailing.

Zhou Rui didn't care and let the old man fiddle with it for a while. However, he was probably too tired and couldn't hold it firmly. He dropped the hexagram plate to the ground. There were already cracks in the hexagram plate and it completely broke into two halves.

Fan Zusongfei said this was a bad omen, and Zhou Rui said it meant that if you didn't go back to rest, you might have to go to the hospital.

Then early the next morning, I boarded the plane back to Shanghai.

Landed safely.
