When Zhang Qianxiu arrived at the Agricultural University, yuan pengchi was already waiting at the appointed place.
Zhang Qianxiu specially got out of the car and opened the door for yuan pengchi: "Professor Yuan, I still asked you to come out at night. It's really troublesome for you. This is my girlfriend, Su Yuwei."
Su Yuwei immediately said hello to yuan pengchi: "Hello, Professor Yuan!"
Yuan pengchi nodded and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Su. Mr. Zhang, how big is the place you plan to rent?"
Zhang Qianxiu said: "as many as possible, there are four major grain merchants of ABCD in foreign countries, as well as large seed companies like Monsanto. Selec is also a country with highly developed agriculture and seed industry."
"There are so many people in our country. Although it is a big agricultural country, it is not a powerful agricultural country. If our country develops in the future, it will definitely need a lot of labor force. Naturally, there will not be so many people to farm."
"One day, if foreign countries suppress our grain, it will be a disaster for the farmers. Although I am a businessman, I am also a citizen of this country. Even if I do business, I will do business that is beneficial to the common people."
"Therefore, I want to try my best to promote the development of Agricultural Mechanization in China. If possible, I want to set up an agricultural research institute in the future to study seeds that are more suitable for our country."
"In terms of hybrid rice, we have Mr. Yuan, and our country consumes the most rice, but we don't have much advantage in other aspects, such as corn, soybeans, vegetables and so on."
Zhang Qianxiu said that Mr. Yuan is the father of hybrid rice, and China has always been the world leader in rice seeds.
Yuan pengchi looked at Zhang Qianxiu in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang was young but worried about the country and the people!"
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile: "I'm not worried about the country and the people. I'm a businessman. Although I do business to make money, it doesn't prevent me from doing something for the country while doing business. As long as we have the technology, we won't be afraid of being stuck in the future."
Yuan pengchi nodded: "many people think that industrial technology is the fundamental, in fact, agricultural technology is our fundamental ah!"
"No matter how powerful industrial technology is, what's the use of no food?"
"Mr. Zhang, if you have any technical problems in the future, just ask me and I'll find a way to help you solve them."
Zhang Qianxiu didn't expect such unexpected gains. There is no doubt about yuan pengchi's professional knowledge.
Many people in later generations think that university professors are fake. In fact, this is wrong, which has something to do with the internal system of our university.
Professors in domestic universities are generally divided into seven levels, even full professors have differences from level one to level Four; Associate professors also have five to seven grades, and the following teachers have intermediate posts, which are eight to ten grades, and junior posts, which are eleven to thirteen grades.
Many people think that the level of university teachers is not good, which has something to do with the relatively low level of teachers that you meet. If you can be a professor in a key university, you can't say that you are the top in the world, but you are definitely the advanced level in the same field in the world.
Yuan pengchi, for example, is the second level. For ordinary professors, the third level is the end, and the second level professors account for only one tenth of all professors. The first level professors are even less. Most universities actually have no first level professors. In 1956, there were only 49 universities with first level professors in China, and only six of them have more than 10 first level professors, There are only ten people in Qingda, and 41 people in Shangjing University.
The first-class professors are basically academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the top scientific researchers in China.
In terms of technology, it would be like a tiger to have someone like yuan pengchi to help.
Zhang Qianxiu felt that yuan pengchi had a very good impression of himself, and he was also a patriot. He simply climbed up the pole: "Professor Yuan, I have a question for you."
"What's the problem, Mr. Zhang?" Yuan pengchi asked.
"How much does it cost to set up an agricultural research institute?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.
Yuan pengchi said: "it depends on the specific situation. Three or five hundred thousand can be done. One or two million can be done well. One or two million is national level."
"In fact, it depends on how you study. The more detailed you study, the more money he will spend."
"If it's just an experimental field, it's not expensive, but if you want to do research, you can spend as much as you want."
"If you want to do this kind of research, it is mainly practical, and you don't need to spend too much energy to study too detailed things."
"In other words, you spend money to increase production, and the main experience will be in this aspect."
Zhang Qianxiu asked, "is that the study of land and seeds?"
"There are many things to study, such as soil, seeds, diseases, water, fertilizer and so on," Yuan said
Su Yuwei was a little surprised: "water should also be studied?"
Yuan pengchi said: "in general, farming in rural areas doesn't take care of these things. I think as long as it's not industrial wastewater, it's not like this. The mineral content and salt content in the water have an impact on the soil and crops."
"When water gets to the ground, the ingredients it carries will penetrate into the soil and change the composition of the soil over time."
"Moreover, if there is sodium salt in the water, it will affect the crops, corrode the roots of crops and destroy the solid structure of the soil; There is also sodium chloride. If the water content is too high, the soil will become saline soil, and the crops will not grow normally, or even die; But there are some salts that are beneficial, such as nitrates, phosphates
Su Yuwei couldn't help sighing and said, "if we hadn't talked with Professor Yuan, we would have never thought that water would have such a great impact on crops."
Yuan pengchi said: "in fact, farming is just like reading. The basic conditions are not bad, and I am willing to work hard. As long as I get to school as a whole, there is no problem to reach the pass line; But if you want to score 80 points, you have to work harder; If you want to get above 95, you can only get through all the knowledge a little bit. "
"It's the same with farming. If you only have an ordinary harvest and a normal planting, as long as you don't encounter natural disasters, it won't be too bad; But if you want to be better than others, you have to be more diligent. If you want to let go of water, you have to let go of fertilizer; If you want a particularly high yield, you have already done everything you can, so you can only start from small things, such as water quality, fertilizer amount and so on. "
"For the same variety, the yield of our experimental field is generally higher than that of ordinary farmers, because we take better care of the experimental field."
"However, there is a big problem with the scale of planting. The yield per mu may not be as high as that of farmers."
"That is to say, farmers can produce 1000 Jin per mu of land, and large-scale planting can only produce 600 Jin or 700 Jin."
Zhang Qianxiu asked: "why?"
Yuan pengchi explained: "there are many reasons, large-scale planting is machinery, soil loosening is also machinery, machinery to do, fast, but the work may not be as good as farmers."
"There is also sowing, which may be uneven, too dense in some places, and too sparse in some places."
"When farmers see places that are too dense, they will pull them out, and when they see places that are too sparse, they will make up for them."
"Then there's weeding, fertilizing, and so on. Farmers spend a day on a few acres of land, but if they plant it on a large scale, a few people will have to look at hundreds and thousands of acres of land, which is certainly not so fine."
Su Yuwei said: "these should be compensated by technical means! You can do anything by hand
Yuan pengchi sighed and said, "it's related to heavy industry, such as loosening soil. It's not good if it's too shallow, it's not good if it's too deep, and it's not good if it's too big after loosening soil."
"Like the United States and the Soviet Union, they keep their land well. They can design different agricultural machinery according to their own land conditions."
"The land is soft and hard, with more and less water. The terrain may look the same, but the soil condition is different."
"At present, our country does not have the ability of its own research and development, and can only import finished products from abroad."
Zhang Qianxiu can understand this sentence now. At present, our country is very backward, almost in all aspects. Later, on the road, we saw that the machinery in the "grinding tool processing shop" is now high-end, which can't be made in China.
Zhang Qianxiu sighed and said, "in the current situation, it's impossible to wait for the development of the country's own industry. We can only do it by ourselves, step by step. It's too late to do anything until the development of heavy industry."
At present, agricultural machinery in China is basically tractors. There is basically a blank or small space for all kinds of planters, plowers and harvesters. As for heavy agricultural machinery, there is no way to touch the edge. What is the integration of mechatronics and hydraulics is even more a dream.
Yuan pengchi nodded: "yes! Nowadays, China is lagging behind in almost everything. If we want to surpass foreign countries, we can't wait to die. We must develop the whole industry together. "
Chatting, I have arrived at Wanger hotel.
When Zhang Qianxiu and Chen Desheng walked to the door of the hotel, they saw Chen Defu and Chen Desheng standing at the door.
Chen Defu saw Zhang Qianxiu and immediately welcomed him: "boss Zhang!"
Zhang Qianxiu said hello to them, and then introduced yuan pengchi: "this is the dean of Agricultural University, yuan pengchi, Professor Yuan. This time I specially invited Professor Yuan to give me technical support."
The professor is still very valuable now. Chen Defu was surprised and quickly responded and complimented: "Hello, Professor Yuan! Hello! Please give us a lot of advice. It's our honor for you to give us some advice. "
With a smile on his face, yuan pengchi said, "Mr. Chen is very polite. I'll put it bluntly. It's a kind of farming, and it's not very different from farmers."
Naturally, we won't take yuan pengchi's words seriously. After a few polite remarks, Chen Defu said, "boss Zhang, Professor Yuan and Miss Su, we'd better sit first and have a chat later."
