The next day, the two of them went to the supermarket early in the morning to purchase items.

The weather started to get gloomy in the morning, with more and more dark clouds gathering in the distance.

The wind started to pick up.

By the time they finished their shopping and returned home, heavy rain suddenly came pouring down.

The huge howling sound of the wind continued, making people feel a little panicked.

The two sat on the sofa watching TV with snacks.

As usual, I watched the documentary channel first, and it happened to be playing the documentary Mega Project: Food Supply.

The emperors, ministers and common people of all dynasties were immediately excited when they saw this!

food!

Extremely important food!

Great! We always see people in later generations doing all kinds of work, but rarely see them farming. However, since there are so many people, how food comes from is something they always want to know.

The attendant began to write furiously, food!

You don’t have to remember anything else, but you must remember the information about the food clearly!

[This is an unprecedented challenge in human history, using 7% of the world's arable land to feed 22% of the population! ]

[This is a super project, which is far more complicated and difficult than we imagined. ]

Northeast China.

One farm here has more than 50 acres of rice fields.

July every year is the busiest season because rice is most susceptible to rice blast at this time. Once the rice is diseased, grain production will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, rice blast is difficult to cure and can only be prevented in advance.

The best period to prevent disease is within 10 days after rice begins to head.

The people immediately pricked up their ears: Great! ! The best time to prevent rice diseases is within 10 days after rice heading! Remember!

So how do they prevent it in advance? Can they learn from it?

With such a large rice field, wouldn't it require a lot of manpower to harvest it? I wonder how much money can be earned in a day by harvesting rice in the future, and whether there will be food?

It would take manpower to prevent rice diseases in such a large rice field.

Is it spraying medicine?

How many acres can one person sow? I'm afraid 10 days is not enough.

Just as I was worrying, a plane appeared in front of me.

The staff loaded the medicine onto the plane, and the pilot flew the plane to carry out aerial spraying on 50 acres of rice fields.

As the plane flew, the wings on both sides of the plane sprayed streams of medicine onto the rice on the ground.

The people suddenly fell silent.

Damn! How do I learn this? How do I learn this!

It simply blocks their access to learning in every aspect.

The emperor and his ministers sighed: Let's just wait and see.

It's not that they don't try hard, but there is obviously a huge knowledge gap in this technology and they don't know where to start even if they want to learn it.

The people are desperate. People in the future will use airplanes to spray pesticides, so they will definitely use machines to harvest rice...

Look, the people who fly planes are called agricultural aircraft stunt pilots. It sounds different from those who fly passenger planes!

This plane can spray at least 5 acres a day, which is much faster than spraying by hand!

The old people shook their heads and sighed, they couldn't learn...

Although I can’t learn it, it is still very interesting to see how people in later generations farm.

Look at what is said above: although airplanes can spray pesticides very quickly, they also face changeable weather conditions.

Do not spray two hours before or after rain, because the rain will dilute the medicine.

Don't spray if there is too much wind, as it will blow the medicine away.

And to achieve the best spraying effect you have to wait for good weather.

"Now I understand the importance of agricultural universities in the future." One person sighed: "With so much food, if there are no specialized people to farm the land, how can the yield be increased? What diseases do rice have and what medicines should be used? Don't we have to learn all these?"

"That's right, I think this knowledge is no simpler than those other things!" others agreed.

"Listen, what kind of rain and what kind of wind force are necessary to grow good crops!"

"And the plane that sprays pesticides, wouldn't someone have to learn how to fly a plane to spray pesticides?"

Everyone nodded, yes! That's right!

The camera on the sky screen turned and showed another farm.

And it is also the largest granary in later generations!

Looking down from the sky, the vast green rice fields are refreshing.

The old farmer with a vicissitudes of life had tears in his eyes: "It's so beautiful..."

Yes, the food all over the ground is so beautiful!

It turns out that this place was once a wasteland. It took the hard work of so many people to transform it into the granary it is today!

The food produced here every year can provide food for 1 million people!

Everyone was stunned by the data.

"How...how much?" Liu Bang stuttered.

"It can provide food for 1 million people!" Zhang Liang was amazed.

Liu Che said it was a pity: "It's a method that can be seen but cannot be copied!"

Sang Hongyang was not discouraged. He said to Liu Che: "The high grain yield in later generations is a comprehensive reflection of talents in all aspects, and what our dynasty needs to do is to cultivate various agricultural talents. Although we cannot be as good as later generations, at least we can make sure that the people can barely have enough food and clothing."

Liu Che agreed and ordered him to supervise the matter.

In fact, there is not much arable land in China, and what they have to face is to use 7% of the world's arable land to feed 22% of the population!

People: And then?

What can be done to increase food production?

The seemingly impossible task was changed because of the efforts of one person.

He is Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan! People have heard of this person. At that time, Miss Zhou's cousin who was studying at the Agricultural University wanted to become someone like Mr. Yuan!

So he is an agricultural scientist?

What did he do to significantly increase grain production?

Mr. Yuan, another familiar name is the father of hybrid rice.

Rice is the staple food of most Chinese people, but in the past the average rice yield per mu was only more than 100 kilograms.

The people nodded: Normal.

The rice yield in the south is higher, ranging from 100 to 150 kilograms.

It is Mr. Yuan’s hybrid rice technology that has increased the yield per mu to 300 kilograms!

It solved the basic problem of food and clothing for the Chinese people.

The people’s hands were shaking: How many kilograms per acre?

300 kg!!

Oh my god! If they had this technology, no one would starve to death!

Li Shimin gasped: So this is the powerful force of science and technology!

It really can make a country strong!

Good! Technology! Datang must develop science and technology!

Just when everyone was shocked by the yield of 300 kilograms per acre, they were shocked again by Tianmu's next sentence.

With Mr. Yuan’s continuous breakthroughs in hybrid rice technology, the third-generation super hybrid rice can increase the yield per mu to 1000 kilograms!

Zhao Kuangyin felt it was unreal: "1000 kilograms?"

Zhao Pu replied: "Yes, 1000 kilograms!"

Kublai Khan scratched his ears: "How much?"

"Father, it's 1000 kilograms..." Zhenjin said in a hoarse voice.

Kublai Khan: “…”

For the first time, I wanted to live in the afterlife so much...

With so much food, the Mongols would not starve to death even if they stopped grazing.

Zhu Yuanzhang held on to the chair with trembling hands: "1000 kilograms!"

If the Ming Dynasty had such technology, it would be powerful!

Why worry about the people not being able to afford food!

People: I finally understand why people in later generations don’t farm but still have food to eat.

No wonder Mr. Yuan won the country's highest science and technology award in later generations. His contributions will benefit the present and future generations!

So amazing, so great!
