Super Scientist

Seeing this classic car, Ye Chen wondered if it might be older than himself. A lot of paint has fallen off, and the whole body is covered with rust. At first glance, it looks like a mangy dog.

The father of hybrid rice is a world-renowned agricultural expert and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. He must not be short of this little money, but he actually drives a classic car, which is really unexpected to Ye Chen. Ye Chen was a little puzzled, what did the old man think?

Looking at other people, Yuan Fafa is also an old car, not much worn out like the old man's car.

These two people are really, driving such a classic car, they can come to the airport to pick up people, and they are not afraid of being laughed at.

For the younger generation like Chen Wang, their cars are much better. Although they are not expensive luxury cars, they are not bad. A car worth 300,000 to 200,000 yuan is not bad.

Especially now, compared with two classic cars, this is a luxury car.

This was enough to surprise Ye Chen, and what surprised Ye Chen even more was that the father of hybrid rice sat directly in the driver's seat.

"Xiaoye, come up." The father of hybrid rice said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wiped off his cold sweat, I'll sit with you, I don't want my life? He hurriedly said: "Old man, I can talk to Brother Chen, I will sit with him and ask some questions by the way."

"Xiaoye, don't look far away. I am his teacher. If you have any questions, just ask me." The father of hybrid rice is determined to let Ye Chen ride in the same car with him.

"Grandpa, do you have a driver's license?" Ye Chen asked directly after failing to make a plan.

"Yes." The father of hybrid rice replied seriously.

"Grandpa, you are almost eighty. At such an age, who has the guts to give you a driver's license?" Ye Chen didn't quite believe it.

As we all know, there is an age limit for a driver's license, and it is required to be under 70 years old. The old man is almost eighty, who dares to issue him a driver's license?

"The director of the Provincial Communications Department specially approved one." The old man said as a matter of course.

Ye Chen immediately knelt down.

Mr. Zhuang's driver's license was specially approved by the director of the Provincial Department of Communications, and that's how the father of hybrid rice got his driver's license. Ye Chen has nothing to say, these are all good people.

Opening the door, Ye Chen sat on the co-pilot.

"Let's go.

"The father of hybrid rice yelled and slammed the accelerator, a thick puff of smoke rose from behind the classic car, and it shot out like an arrow.

Ye Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Master, please slow down."

"Okay." The father of hybrid rice readily agreed, stepped on the gas pedal hard, and the classic car raced even more joyfully.

Ye Chen was completely speechless, and said eagerly: "Old man, can you slow down?"

"I'm already very slow. Xiaoye, let me tell you, I usually drive very fast. If I hadn't gotten older, I would have gone to participate in F4." The father of the hybrid rice looked very regretful.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes straight, you are about to be targeted by the traffic police, how can you call it slow?

If this is also called slow, then what is fast?

Soon, Ye Chen found out that the father of hybrid rice really didn't brag, his driving skills were really good, he drove like a slick, and the classic car was in his hands, like an obedient baby, so he couldn't help but feel relieved Come.

"Grandpa, your driving skills are really amazing, it's amazing." Ye Chen praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Does it need to be said? I didn't say it all. If I was not old, I would have participated in F4." The father of hybrid rice repeated.

Ye Chen is confused, how old are you? Still so joking, can you participate in F4? Your driving skills are good, but there is still a gap with F4.

"Grandpa, how old is your car? Why don't you change it?" Ye Chen's gossip soul began to burn.

The technology is as good as the old man's, and the car money is not bad. He actually drives a classic car and doesn't want to change to a new one. Ye Chen really wants to find out the inside story.

"Xiaoye, let me tell you, I have witnessed the great changes in our country in my life. I was born in the old society and grew up in the new society. My life is a history of the transformation of the celestial dynasty. Do you know? At that time, I walked. At that time, the country was poor, and I was poor, so I had no choice but to walk. Later, when the conditions were better, I rode a bicycle. Later, when the conditions were better, I rode a motorcycle. Finally, I just drove." The father of the hybrid rice was full of memories.

The father of hybrid rice was born in the old society. At that time, our country fell into civil strife, warlords fought, and countless people died. The old man really displayed his talents in the new society. His life course is really a rich history of celestial change.

He witnessed with his own eyes that our country went from civil war to reunification, from backwardness to modernization, from poverty to prosperity.

"This car is the first car I bought in my life. It has been more than ten years. I am used to it and I don't want to change it." The father of hybrid rice said affectionately.

People have feelings. No matter what, as long as you use it for a long time, you will develop feelings and don't want to change it. Even if you know it, it's no longer useful.

The father of hybrid rice is such a person.

Ye Chen really didn't expect that the old man was still such a sentimental person, and said with a smile: "Old man, this is a kind of emotion, and it can also be said to be a kind of attachment. Agriculture, although our country has always attached great importance to it, the old ancestors shouted out 'the people are here "Food is the sky", but agriculture is the most unpopular. There are not many people engaged in agricultural technology, not many can do it for a long time, and even fewer can do it for a lifetime. The old man can do agricultural technology for a lifetime, and this Persistence has a lot to do with it.”

All dynasties have attached great importance to agriculture, built water conservancy projects, and vigorously supported agriculture.

However, the social status of people engaged in agriculture is not high, it can be said that they are the bottom of the existence. Don't say that in ancient times, even in modern times, many people look down on people who do agricultural technology.

It is precisely because of this low social status that few people are willing to engage in agricultural technology.

Like the father of hybrid rice, there are really too few people who can stick to it for a lifetime.

Of course, it is rare to see such achievements as the father of hybrid rice in the five thousand years of Chinese history.

"Xiaoye, you are right. What really made me want to engage in agricultural research was the three-year famine. I ate grass roots, tree bark and soil. At that time, I made up my mind to fight for increasing food production. After so many years With your hard work, this wish can be said to have come true." The old man remembered the three-year catastrophe he had personally experienced, and his eyes were full of tears.

The three-year famine was the rarest natural disaster after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Food production decreased across the country, and many people starved to death. Moreover, the economic blockade of our country by Western countries headed by the United States has aggravated the disaster.

Ah San even took advantage of the great famine in our country to seize our southern Tibet.

At that time, there were catastrophes at home and enemies abroad, and the living environment of our country was particularly harsh.

In order to overcome the catastrophe, our country paid a heavy price. People who have experienced this period of history still have lingering fears after many years.

Fortunately, through the efforts of the father of hybrid rice, the country's grain production has increased significantly, and food shortages have never appeared again.

Clap clap!

Ye Chen's nose was panting, and he couldn't help clapping.

At this time, all words are pale, and only applause can express true feelings.

"Xiaoye, do you know? I almost became a pilot." The father of hybrid rice didn't want to talk too much on such a heavy topic, so he changed the subject.

"Oh. Really?" Ye Chen heard of it for the first time.

"Of course. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country built an air force and recruited pilots from all over the country, so I went to sign up. All the assessments and political reviews have passed, but in the end I still didn't succeed." The father of hybrid rice is very regretful.

"Why?" Ye Chen didn't quite understand.

Passed the assessment, and there was no problem with the political review. It stands to reason that the father of hybrid rice is a certainty to become a pilot. Why didn't he succeed?

"Because there was a shortage of talents in the country at that time, college students were expected to engage in scientific research instead of pilots. So, I didn't do it." The father of hybrid rice shook his head, regretting endlessly.

"The country's decision-making is very wise! If the old man becomes a pilot, our country will lose an outstanding agricultural expert, and many people will go hungry now." Ye Chen is very fortunate.

Those who know his deeds are very clear about the contribution of the father of hybrid rice. If the old man hadn't conquered the hybrid rice technology, our country's grain output would not have increased, and the former Prime Minister would not have said that even if our country's grain crops fail, the country's grain reserves will be enough for three years.

If there is no father of hybrid rice, maybe the current grain price will be much more expensive.

Even, there will be famine.

"Xiaoye, do you know? I'm still very sorry. When I was young, I also wanted to soar into the blue sky." The old man looked up, but unfortunately, he didn't see the blue sky, only the roof of the car.

Every man has the dream of soaring into the blue sky, and Ye Chen also has it, so he can understand the old man's mood very well.

The two talked and chatted, and soon left the city and went straight to the suburbs.

"Old man, are we going to the suburbs?" Ye Chen was a little surprised.

"That's right. Now is the time when the experimental field is busy, and we live and eat in the experimental field." The father of hybrid rice said.

"Then I can take a look at the super hybrid rice?" Ye Chen said full of expectation.

Who doesn't know about hybrid rice? Isn't what we eat now hybrid rice?

However, super hybrid rice is still in the experimental stage, and there is still a certain distance from promotion. The old man has been working hard and wants to overcome this technology in his lifetime and make outstanding contributions to our country again.

Ye Chen came here this time for super hybrid rice. Seeing the super hybrid rice for the first time is exactly what Ye Chen hopes most.

"Must." The father of hybrid rice nodded.

Soon, we came to the experimental field.

The experimental field has hundreds of acres. Ye Chen looked at it from a distance and saw that the rice was growing gratifyingly, which was much better than the rice in the farmland.

"Master, is this super hybrid rice?" Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

Ye Chen is also a farmer, and he is no stranger to rice. He has seen many rice that grows well, but he has never seen such a rice that grows gratifyingly.

"No, this is hybrid rice." The old man replied.

"Hybrid rice? Will hybrid rice grow so well?" Ye Chen was very surprised, his face was full of shock, and he couldn't believe it.

"Xiaoye, the experimental field is different from the farmland." The father of hybrid rice said.

what is the difference? Many people will think so.
