Chapter 1051: Too lazy to explain, Deus Ex Machina

"Yes, but things may be a little different from what you imagined." The comrade who reported knew what this comrade was worried about.

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

"Comrades from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences have discovered that the potato seeds provided by Chief Engineer Gao are rich in nutrients and have a great taste. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is possible to increase the per-acre yield by at least twice that of the current potato seeds in Caohai." The comrade who made the report had a smile on his face. Anyone would laugh out loud at this news.

"What?!!! How much?!" The comrades who listened to the report were shocked.

"It is estimated that it may double, and the comrades from the Agricultural Science Institute said that even if it does not increase much, the nutritional indicators and taste that have been tested so far are already very valuable."

"No wonder, no wonder... No wonder he wants us to help plant potatoes... I told you..." The comrade in charge of contacting Gao Zhendong suddenly realized, is he doing this for himself? Judging from the performance of this seed, he wants the people of Qianshan to have more food.

"So the Provincial Agricultural Science Bureau reported that the purpose of removing the surrounding potato crops was to avoid contamination of the population as much as possible, and to free up space to provide more protection for the potatoes. The night before yesterday, there was an attack by wild boars. Fortunately, an engineer from the Provincial Agricultural Science Bureau risked his own life to protect the experimental field, but the comrade was also seriously injured. It was the militia comrades who shot and killed the wild boar and saved him."

"Well, I understand. Tell the comrades in Caohai County to meet all the requirements of the comrades in the Agricultural Science Institute. The province will be responsible for the relevant funds. Don't worry."

"Okay. In fact, we don't need to say anything. The comrades in Caohai County are more active than us. A militia brigade has already surrounded the place. You know, people in Caohai make a living by growing crops." The comrade who reported laughed. This laugh was the same as the bitter smile he had when he chose to grow potatoes in Caohai, but the mood was in two different directions.

Due to natural environmental reasons, potatoes are very important to Caohai and even several surrounding counties, and Caohai is the largest county in Qianshan Province. It can be said that this matter is very important to Caohai, Qixing and even Qianshan.

After sending off the comrade who made the report, the comrade who was responsible for contacting Gao Zhendong did not contact Gao Zhendong directly, but went to find the leader of Qianshan to express his gratitude. He felt that he was a little short of the required skills and thought it would be best to let the leader do this.

After listening to the report, the leader of Qianshan was surprised: "Hey, Commissioner Gao, you didn't tell me about such an important matter earlier. What if something goes wrong? Okay, I know about this matter, and I will handle it."

Although the news of Gao Zhendong adding scientific committee members has not been circulated publicly, it is no secret to people at his level who are interested.

After the comrades left, the Qianshan leader picked up the phone and called Gao Zhendong.

"Comrade Zhendong, how can we thank you? You have helped us so much again."

Gao Zhendong was puzzled. Didn’t you thank me last time for the education matter?

"No, no, as long as it is within our power and beneficial to the people, it is what we should do."

He had no choice but to continue with this vague statement, mainly because he really had no idea what was going on.

"I'm so sorry that you still have to take time out to research improved varieties for us when you are so busy at work." Qianshan's leader said with a smile.

Oh, that's it, Gao Zhendong realized, they discovered the benefits of that potato? Or at least discovered part of it.

"Not really. I accidentally discovered that potato while on a business trip. Judging from the shape of the fruit and the rate of large fruit, it should be a good variety, at least as a breeding stock. I think that there are many potatoes planted in Qianshan, so I studied the planting methods at home and abroad and summarized a set of ideas. I would like to invite you to try it."

Gao Zhendong laughed on the phone. With his current status, there was no need for him to think too hard about explaining such things. He could just use deus ex machina!
Seeds, found in the wild.

The planting method was summarized by myself based on domestic and foreign literature.

The question of origin is simply strangled right there.

People ask about bad things, but no one investigates good things.

In fact, this stuff was extracted from the supermarket in his system. The advertisement at that time was "Guizhou Potato No. 19, excellent taste for steaming, boiling and baking". It was probably a batch of special varieties that were temporarily imported.

Gao Zhendong happened to know that these potato varieties from Qianshan were quite distinctive, and more importantly, Qianshan had done a good job in detoxification.

The detoxification mentioned here does not mean being toxic to humans, but being virus-free. In addition to pollen contamination, another important reason for the degeneration of potato varieties is the influence of viruses. Qianshan has done a good job in this regard, which means that after this thing is developed, as long as it is properly maintained, the variety traits can be maintained well for a long time and it has the potential to be used for breeding.

On the contrary, this cannot be done with rice sold in supermarkets, as it is sexually reproduced. Almost no commercial rice can be used as seeds. However, with potatoes, which are asexually reproduced, this is possible.

Of course, Gao Zhendong was just giving it a try. If it worked, it would work. If it didn't, it didn't matter. He would cover the loss himself. It was for this reason that Gao Zhendong didn't say what this thing was for at first, and just asked the comrades in Qianshan to plant it.

If the situation is good, leave it to the comrades in Qianshan. If the situation is not good, just treat it as your own greed and let it go.

Judging from the comrades in Qianshan, the situation seems to be pretty good?

"I don't care. I only know that we in Qianshan are very likely to obtain a high-quality and high-yield grain variety suitable for planting in Qianshan." The leader of Qianshan is very single. I don't care how you got it. I only know that we may benefit, and that's enough.

For Caohai and even a large area around it, potatoes are the staple food for a considerable period of time every year.

"If I can help you, that would be great. I hope it doesn't affect the farmers who are sowing seeds." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.

"No, no, the comrades in Caohai County are very motivated. In order to protect the seeds, they directly mobilized the militia to fence off the experimental field. I hope you can come and taste the potatoes you found when you are free."

"Okay, no problem. If I have time, I will definitely come and try it. I'm also curious about what this variety tastes like." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.

Gao Zhendong's words made the Qianshan leaders very happy, but he keenly discovered a problem.

"Alas, in order to preserve as many seeds as possible, you didn't even bother to eat one to try it out. This is so unfair to you, Commissioner Gao. Hahaha." The Qianshan leader laughed and cursed in his heart. These comrades below must have eaten two first, so that they could make the judgment that the "taste is good" in the report. This is really... I don't know what to say.

"No, no, even if we want to test the taste, we have to leave it to professionals. Otherwise, if it tastes good, it's fine, but if it tastes bad, I'll be at a huge loss." Gao Zhendong said while laughing. In fact, he had eaten so many things with a similar taste in his previous life, it didn't matter.

Gao Zhendong's words inadvertently explained for the comrades, making the Qianshan leaders feel that it was not so shameful for the comrades below to take on two tasks first, and they were in a good mood.

The two talked a few more words on the phone, agreed to find a way to let Gao Zhendong eat this new variety, and then hung up.

In South Jiaozhi, people in South Jiaozhi are discussing something.

"With the support of the two major powers in the north, the forces of the North and the South Jiaozhi are becoming more and more active. We must do something," said a South Jiaozhi person.

"What do you want to do? Those two great powers are existences that we cannot shake." The other person frowned.

At this time, the people of Jiaozhi, both in the north and the south, did not have the illusion that they were the "third most powerful military country in the world" and they had a very good idea of ​​their own capabilities.

"I know that we have no way to deal with them on land, and we don't have the strength to provoke them, but...what about at sea?"

"Are you crazy? We can't afford to provoke the white bear's naval power in the north, and the Americans won't agree." A South Jiaozhi man almost jumped up. Even if the white bear was not as good as the American, if the American heard that they wanted to provoke the white bear, they would definitely not agree.

Moreover, the Jiaozhi people could not reach the White Bear at this time. The supply and transportation of the White Bear to the Far East mainly depended on the Siberian Ice Railway. Going by sea, whether it was the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean Sea, was not enough to cause trouble. From this perspective, even if the Southern Jiaozhi people wanted to harass the White Bear's transportation line, it would be impossible.

"Why is it a white bear? Can't it be the one in the middle?" asked the man from Nan Jiaozhi who made the suggestion.

"Todai?" Others began to ponder.

After a long while, they denied it: "Even if it's the University of Tokyo, we still can't afford to offend them. And Citigroup people definitely don't agree with this."

The South Jiaozhi man who made the suggestion shook his head and said, "You are too timid. Besides, have you considered that my suggestion to create some trouble with Dongda is just to drag the Citibank guys into the water? It doesn't matter whether they agree or not on this point. We are going to act without telling them anyway."

"Drag into the water?" A South Jiaozhi man repeated this sentence.

"Yes, dragging us down! Now Citigroup has always wanted to engage in the service industry while also building iconic buildings. The intensity, scale and scope of their support for us have always been carefully and strictly controlled, which is very disadvantageous to us."

"Isn't it because they were scared by the people from the University of Tokyo more than ten years ago? Even though they don't say it, they actually have a shadow in their hearts. From this perspective, it is not wise to provoke the University of Tokyo." Someone opposed his idea.

"No, I think that Master Dong is currently busy with domestic construction and digesting the gains from the Snowy Plateau, and he doesn't have a strong desire for us."
