Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Looking at the potato, the smallest of which was as big as his fist, General Chen frowned.

"Old Yang, it's true that I haven't been working in the fields for a while."

"But, I remember the potatoes we planted back then weren't this big, right?"

As he spoke, General Chen picked one, weighed it in his hand, and said in surprise.

"My goodness, this potato alone must weigh about two pounds."

"That's enough for one person to eat for a day!"

Hearing General Chen's words, Yang Lin was also stunned.

Not to mention General Chen.

As an agronomist who has dealt with various crops all his life, even I have never seen such plump and solid potatoes.

And that’s not all.

On the potato seedling that I dug out, except for this largest potato.

There are also three or four slightly smaller potatoes.

Although each one is not as big as the one in my hand, it also weighs about one kilogram.

In other words, one potato sprout here can produce 4-5 kilograms of potatoes.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked up at the planting situation in the greenhouse.

With many years of experience in planting, he immediately estimated the number of plants planted in the greenhouse.

In this acre of land, Fang Yu planted about 2000-2500 potato plants.

If each potato seedling can produce 5 kilograms of potatoes.

So if we calculate based on the lowest number of 2000 plants, that would be 10,000 kilograms!

Converted into international units, that's a full 5 tons!

After calculating this number.

Yang Lin felt his legs go limp and he squatted down and sat on the ground.

Shock was written on his face.

5 tons! That’s 5 tons!

You should know that according to the latest data from Longguo Statistics, the annual potato production is about 500 kilograms per mu.

Even if the weather and location are favorable, the highest yield in a good year is only 1500 jin, or 750 kilograms!

The potato yield per mu planted by Fang Yu reached 5 tons!

In other words, compared with the current highest potato production in Longguo, it has increased by a full 6.6 times!

Thinking of this, Yang Lin's pupils suddenly shook.

As an agronomist who has studied food issues for many years, he naturally understands what this number represents.

Although potatoes are not staple food, their easy storage properties prove that they are the best substitute for staple food.

As long as it is stored properly, it can be stored for a year without any problems.

Moreover, if potatoes are processed into starch products such as rice noodles and vermicelli, they can be stored for a longer time.

Although eating too many potatoes will cause acid reflux, it is still much better than having nothing to eat and starving to death.

It can be said that if he promotes the potato seedlings planted by Fang Yu and lets the people of Longguo plant them.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that Longguo’s food problem has been completely solved.

But at least, the Dragon Kingdom has bid farewell to the term "eating one's own children"...

Think of this.

A complex emotion suddenly appeared on Yang Lin's face. He got up and started digging at another potato seedling.

One, two, three...

After digging up three or four potato seedlings and confirming the yield of each one.

Yang Lin's face, which was covered with mud and almost unrecognizable, suddenly showed an extremely excited smile.

"Hahahaha! It's done! It's done!"

"Each plant produces more than 5 kilograms!"

"God bless China! God bless China!"

"From now on, there will be no more famine in China!"

Seeing Yang Lin's ecstatic look, the people around him were all confused. Those who didn't know thought that the old man had suddenly gone crazy.

However, when they dug out the potatoes in front of them, they understood why Yang Lin was so crazy.

One potato seedling produced 5 kilograms of potatoes!

There are two thousand plants in one acre of land, which means a full ten thousand kilograms!

Based on the calculation that an adult consumes at least two kilograms of food per day, this one acre of land can feed 5000 people!

If this potato variety can be promoted, doesn't that mean that the whole country will no longer have to worry about having no food to eat?

Suddenly, almost everyone showed the same smile as Yang Lin.

Many people even cheered wildly...

"Director Fang, can you bring me some of the potatoes you planted?"

"I plan to use these potatoes as seeds and distribute them free of charge to farmers near the imperial capital for trial planting."

"As long as there are no problems, I will immediately promote it nationwide..."

To be honest, Yang Lin did come to this greenhouse with the mentality of "guiding" at the beginning.

After all, different professions are like different worlds.

Although it is true that Fang Yu invented fertilizer, fertilizer is ultimately an industrial product.

It has not really deviated from the technical scope that Fang Yu is familiar with.

However, improving seeds and growing crops are different.

I am the expert in this area.

But when I really got here, I was really dumbfounded.

It turns out that Fang Yu is not only good at manufacturing industrial products, but is also excellent in agricultural science.

With just one move, they broke the domestic and international limits and increased potato production to a level that they could hardly imagine.

People here have an annual yield of 10,000 catties per mu. How dare you really give them "guidance"?

Yang Lin simply skipped this stage and talked to Fang Yu about the promotion of seeds.

"No problem. Originally, these improved varieties were meant for you, Dean Yang."

"After all, I'm just being forced to do this. Your agricultural science department is the professional one."

"In that case, let me first introduce the situation of my potato to you, Dean Yang."

"I named this improved potato seedling 'Xisen No. 6'..."

After hearing what Yang Lin said.

Fang Yu nodded slightly and began to explain his potato model to Yang Lin and his group.

"This variety has a growing period of about 90 days, a plant height of 60 to 70 centimeters, an upright plant shape, and strong growth."

"The stem color is green, the leaves are green, the corolla is white, and the natural fruiting is low. The number of main stems per plant is 2.3, the number of tubers per plant is 7.7, and the runners are medium."

"We mainly use the ridge planting method, with a planting density of 3500 to 4000 plants per mu..."

As Fang Yu's voice sounded.

A group of R&D personnel from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences took out their pens and papers and started taking notes seriously, just like primary school students in class.

Even Yang Lin was fascinated by what he heard.

However, after Fang Yu finished saying this, Yang Lin's body shook violently as if he was struck by lightning.

Then he lost his voice and said.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"

"Can the planting density of these potatoes be maintained at 3500-4000 plants per acre?"

"Doesn't that mean the yield per acre of this potato plant can be doubled?"
