Chapter 544 Harvesting Mutated Rice
There is no need to go outside to collect meteorites, and life will be much easier.
At two o'clock every day, the three families go back and forth between Hongmei Village and the farm.
The mutated rice soaked in spiritual fluid has successfully grown ears.
On the day of harvesting the mutated rice, Gu Yuanping also came over. There were two rice plants in total, one harvested by Gu Yuanping and one harvested by Han Ying.
The two of them were very careful. They did not use sickles, but took scissors to cut off the rice ears one by one.
Every time you cut, pay attention to see if any rice falls. If it does, pick it up quickly.
The yield is very high. The two mutant rice plants harvested a total of 1.8 kilograms of rice after continuous tillering.
This rice is a little different from ordinary rice. The grains are larger and the color is darker than ordinary rice.
After a rough count, there were 2365 grains of rice in total.
One pound of ordinary rice contains about 1 grains.
However, this 1.8 kilogram mutant rice has only 2365 grains, which is more than double the size of ordinary rice.
The two rice plants planted in the experimental field have matured, and the ones Lu Yuan planted in the space have naturally matured as well.
After the original two seeds sprouted successfully, Lu Yuan waited for them to tiller successfully before bringing them out of the space.
There are two plants planted on the farm. One is a plant after the seeds have germinated, while the other was transplanted by Lu Yuan after the tillers came out.
In addition to the plant with germinated seeds, Lu Yuan left three other plants in the space that grew out of four branches.
In other words, there are a total of 4 mutant rice plants planted in the space.
These four mutant rice plants harvested a total of 4 kilograms of rice, more than 4 grains.
Han Ying made some calculations and found that the yield of mutant rice planted in the space was almost the same as that planted in the experimental field outside.
And whether it is paddy fields or ordinary dry land, there is no difference in yield.
This may be the power of mutated plants in the apocalypse. They can grow well no matter where they grow.
Since there is no difference, it would be easier to plant directly in dry land.
Of the more than two thousand grains of rice produced in the experimental field, Gu Yuanping wanted to take away 500 grains.
As for where he would take the 500 pills, Han Ying guessed that part of them would be sent to the research institute for research.
But they would definitely not all stay in the institute. Han Ying thought that maybe someone would send some to Kyoto.
Except for the 500 pills that Gu Yuanping wanted to take away, the rest were all left on the farm.
Together with the ones in the space, there are more than 10,000 seeds in total, enough to grow a large area.
However, the germination of mutated rice is a problem. If it relies on spiritual liquid to successfully germinate, it will be a troublesome thing.
So Lu Yuan planned to take out 1000 grains of rice and try other germination methods first.
These rice grains are second-generation mutant rice, and it is very likely that they do not need spiritual liquid to germinate successfully.
Just like mutant corn, the characteristics of the mutant plant gradually weaken from generation to generation until the characteristics of the mutant plant are lost.
It's just that after five generations, the mutant corn will lose the characteristics of this mutant plant that can grow normally in extreme environments and weather.
However, it is not known in which generations the mutant rice will lose this characteristic.
Lu Yuan divided 1000 grains of rice into 50 portions, each portion containing 20 grains.
First take out 14 copies and try them one by one according to the germination methods in the information that Professor Li left before.
After 7 days, different amounts of rice germinated in all 14 rice seeds.
Some sprouted one tree, some sprouted two, and the highest one was six.
The probability of 10 out of 3 is compared to the fact that none of the seeds can be produced in the first generation. This germination rate is already very high.
He had an idea in mind and informed Gu Yuanping of the result.
Gu Yuanping also informed Han Ying and Lu Yuan of the results of the research conducted by the research institute.
Although the nutrients rich in mutant rice are not as high as ordinary rice, they are high-quality carbohydrates.
And that's enough.
After the research results came out, Gu Yuanping asked the farm to vigorously plant rice.
Gu Yuanping excitedly began to recruit workers in the name of the government, and all the newly recruited people were sent to open up wasteland.
When the land is cleared, the new crop of rice will mature.
When there are more seeds, these newly opened fields will be put to use.
But before that, this crop of rice must be planted first.
According to the germination rate, Lu Yuan counted 1865 rice grains from the only 590 rice grains harvested in the farm's experimental field.
Then the 590 grains of rice were soaked in water with two drops of spiritual liquid.
Three days later, all 590 grains of rice sprouted.
These 590 small rice plants will continue to be planted in the farm's experimental fields.
As for the remaining seeds, Han Ying collected 3000 and put them in the basement of the space. The others were germinated with the same concentration of spiritual liquid and planted in the space.
These past few months have been the most comfortable time for everyone since the end of the world.
The farm has a bumper harvest every once in a while, and except for the food that was only available before the end of the world, there are no purchase restrictions on anything else in the shopping mall.
The points in everyone's hands can buy food to fill their stomachs.
You can also choose the types of grains, such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and taro, and there are many types of vegetables, including sweet potato leaves, sunflower seeds, winter melon, tomatoes, soybeans, eggplants, and peppers.
At least there are goji berries.
The dozen or so wolfberry seedlings that Lu Yuan had grafted wolfberry with the new type of tomato had already produced small red wolfberry trees.
Originally, it would take two or three years for the wolfberries to bear fruit after they were planted.
But because it is grafted with a new type of tomato, it can be irrigated with nutrient solution to make it grow faster.
So in less than a year, the wolfberry can be harvested.
Looking at the dazzling array of fresh food shelves in the mall, everyone seemed to have returned to the pre-apocalypse.
Apart from the fact that the weather has remained unchanged, aren't these days no different from before the apocalypse?
No longer have to worry about going to the mall with points but not being able to buy enough food.
...
On the day of Little New Year, Han Ying, Lu Yuan, Gu Yuanping, Ke Qin, Li Ping, Lei Minghu and Liu Hefeng.
There were seven people in total. They all came to the experimental field with sickles, and started harvesting the third generation of mutant rice, one person per ridge.
Be very careful when harvesting. Every time you cut a plant, you have to check whether there are any fallen rice on the ground. If there are fallen rice or rice ears, you must quickly pick them up.
Because the plants that were tried to be transplanted after tillering before were able to produce rice ears normally.
So this time, Lu Yuan and Li Ping transplanted three seedlings from each plant after tillering.
In other words, there are a total of 2360 rice plants this time.
It took seven people a full hour to harvest all the rice.
After the rice was beaten and dried, a total of 2200 kilograms of rice was harvested.
Seeing this harvest, everyone was overjoyed.
