Chapter 79 Prepare for a rainy day and cooperate with the Agricultural Science Institute

While contracting land in various places, Liu Sen went to the agricultural science institutes in Rongcheng, Cudu and Jinling.

He wanted to expand his foundation and take precautions.

Going to the agricultural science institute was mainly to invest in research and improve seeds together. China's dependence on foreign seeds is very serious.

The annual import of seeds in China reaches nearly 80,000 tons. It sounds small, but you have to know that this is seeds, not grains and vegetables.

Among all grain seeds, there are a few that are basically self-sufficient. The self-sufficiency rate of domestic rice and wheat seeds is 100%, and the self-sufficiency rate of corn seeds is slightly lower, reaching 95%.

This is still the result of our scientists' continuous efforts and research.

In general, my country is a major seed importer.

There are a lot of seeds from abroad. Once they are stuck, some high-quality vegetables on the market will disappear.

And we usually have many misunderstandings about some titles, and some titles confuse the cognition of a large part of people.

For example, in a famous mountain county in my country, which has a history of planting for a hundred years and is known as the "Home of Chinese Potatoes", most of the potatoes grown are from the Lighthouse Country.

In the "Home of Chinese Vegetables", "foreign seeds" account for as much as 30%.

The seeds of the white radish we usually eat are mostly imported from the Han Country.

The indispensable peppers come from Israel.

Half of my country's vegetable seeds come from abroad. The price of vegetables is also controlled by foreign countries.

Once the seeds are cut off, the results can be imagined.

Therefore, Liu Sen must make some preparations in advance. Seed research is very troublesome and takes a long time, because it can only be tested a few times a year.

Because many breeding methods in my country are still conventional methods, relying on sight and touch, anther culture and genetic transformation, gene editing and molecular breeding are rarely used.

And the top 50 seed companies in China, the total annual investment in seed research and development by 50 companies does not exceed 1.5 billion.

Basically, as long as they can buy from abroad, they will not study.

The country's food security is really not optimistic, of course, except for staple food.

The same is true for breeding pigs, which basically rely on imports.

Liu Sen's influence is not large enough, not wide enough, and he was not a person in this field before, so he was not famous enough.

Therefore, he can only use the company's reputation to cooperate with the nearby agricultural science institute first. It will still give some face when it is so close.

He established relevant research projects, such as studying the seeds of various vegetables and fruits, and then providing some ideas for seed selection, cultivation environment, and reagents to accelerate growth, so that the test can be completed faster and the target seeds needed can be further selected.

This can effectively promote the development of seeds, and after these seeds are cultivated, they can be given to agricultural cooperatives as soon as possible.

In this way, large-scale experimental planting can be carried out, and people from the agricultural science institute will guide scientific planting methods together, while farmers can keep good records, etc.

The planting value of new seeds is much higher than that of the original seeds, so his cooperative can be maintained and even profitable.

With more experience, it can be iterated faster, and these seeds can even be iterated to be planted on spacecraft and in the starry sky.

It can also change the domestic dependence on foreign seeds. If sanctions are imposed in the future, it can be used immediately.

And the three agricultural science institutes will have different focuses in their research. In the later stage, a large number of people will go to the seed breeding center built in Rongcheng for research, and the newly built breeding center will use the most advanced seed breeding factory in the world.

Liu Sen will directly sign a fixed-point breeding agreement with the agricultural schools in the three cities to train professionals so that professionals can directly enter related positions after graduation.

For breakthrough technologies, they will also be taught in the agricultural schools in the three cities.

This aspect is what Liu Sen communicated with government officials during the Spring Festival. This is a big layout and what government officials are happy to see.

The three urban agricultural schools can obtain the latest knowledge through agricultural cooperatives and increase their own special and advantageous majors.

Rongcheng's agricultural school directly changed from a junior college to an undergraduate college, which just lacked these to enhance the reputation of the school.

Agricultural cooperation was still one aspect of the communication at that time, and the others were in full swing.

After the signing of the cooperation agreement, Liu Sen took out the first batch of seeds and gave them to the three agricultural science institutes.

And attached are the relevant characteristics and other documents, of course, many of them are speculative, and what is given is also the result of his own research in this area.

He also told the Qingfeng wine that he had studied before, the enzymes and wine yeast used, which are also a discovery in this research.

Liu Sen and the people from the Agricultural Science Institute exchanged relevant knowledge, and let them believe the origin of Liu Sen's provision.

After all, it is completely understandable that a person who can draw inferences from one thing and say some innovative discoveries after reading a relevant book in a short time will do something else.

Of course, the seeds provided are not the seeds that Liu Sen directly increased tenfold. They are the first generation of seeds that he actually researched according to the knowledge, which have improved the original yield, improved the taste, shortened the growth cycle, etc.

After obtaining the seeds, they were quickly put into the experiment. With the help of the accelerated growth liquid, they matured quickly, and the data were similar to those provided by Liu Sen, and then they began to cultivate again.

As for the origin of the accelerated growth liquid, Liu Sen explained that it was made by chance and was not replicable.

In fact, this knowledge is also in his mind, but it is impossible to produce it with current technology, so he can only provide some for rapid breeding.

The most important thing is to race against time and cultivate market-leading seeds as soon as possible.

When there are market-leading seeds, breeding can be done at a normal speed.

As for the growth liquid, some is left for them to study themselves. It would be best if they can produce some results.

He will not use the golden finger to make this thing again without special circumstances.

It can be explained if it comes out once by chance, but if it is provided for the second time, it means that it is replicable.

The problem is that the existing technology and equipment are completely unable to make it. Forcibly researching synthetic manufacturing will lead all personnel into the ditch.

Based on the knowledge he has obtained, it is really not made now, otherwise he will definitely increase research. This is a big killer.

Soon when the growth liquid was about to run out, the first batch of more than ten kinds of seeds provided finally met the requirements of the first stage.

The seeds were also replicated and cultivated. Seed cultivation is really difficult, especially natural cultivation without side effects.

Genetic modification may be completed soon, but this is what Liu Sen left for the Chinese people to use, and it must be the safest and without side effects.

The seeds soon met the requirements, and the seeds distributed were sterilized.

The farmers who had signed the contract before finally got the seeds and could start planting.

They had been tidying up the fields, and some had built greenhouses, but there was nothing to plant. They were really afraid that their current work would fail.

The staff of the Agricultural Science Institute and the Agricultural Cooperative went to each village to guide the farmers in planting.

One guide, one record, and constantly correct the farmers' irregularities.

Although the farmers were puzzled, they were now formal employees, and it was stated when signing the contract that they must obey the instructions of the Agricultural Science Institute and the cooperative staff.
