Chapter 188: Start Sickness and Settle People's Hearts
Chapter 188: Start Sickness and Settle People's Hearts (Additional Update)
A new day in the cool autumn weather.
As a ray of morning sunlight shone on the earth, the grassland, which had already withered yellow grass and trees, began to become lively.
Various guests who had arrived early these days also gathered together this morning.
At the north gate of the Taminchagan base, which is the side facing the soybean field, a small stage was set up in advance, surrounded by various banners, colorful flags and balloons.
More than three hundred guests have already arrived.
Jiang Miaozheng was meeting with Academician Li, whom he had passed by before, as well as Researcher Zhang Zhiyong from the Jilimu Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Academician Li introduced to Jiang Miao the experts and scholars who participated in the opening ceremony: "Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Academician Gai from NNU... This is Zhan Suo from the Western Region Agricultural Reclamation Research Institute... This is Dr. Sun..."
"Hello there!"
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
"Hello, Academician Gai!"
Everyone exchanged greetings for a while.
The experts and scholars who came to participate in the harvest opening ceremony this time were basically top scholars in the domestic soybean field, with a total of more than 40 people.
There were five academicians alone.
Among them, Academician Li, Zhang Zhiyong and others have been conducting research on the Senzu soybean in Jiayuan County in the past few months.
In addition, Academician Jiang Lianzhou from Northeast Agricultural University has been studying Senzu soybeans in Jiayuan County since September. However, his research direction is not breeding, but how to use soybeans.
Therefore, he has a certain understanding of the protein and oil in soybeans.
Academician Jiang held up a test report and said, "Mr. Jiang, I have tested some mature fairy beans in the past few days. The three varieties you cultivated have very good application characteristics."
"Old Jiang, don't hide it! Let me see it." Academician Li smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Here you go." Academician Jiang shook his head and handed the document to Academician Li. He looked at Jiang Miao and several other scholars at the same time: "The average oil content of Xiandou No. 1 is 26.7%, and the average soybean protein content is 45.2%. This variety is relatively balanced."
"26? 45? This content is already very high."
"That's right. The genetically modified soybeans in the US only have a protein content of about 34 and a fat content of 18."
Several other scholars in the field of soybean breeding looked envious and amazed.
However, Academician Jiang shook his head and said, "You don't know the situation of the other two brands, otherwise you wouldn't say that."
Academician Li, who was reading the report, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "The average oil content of Xiandou No. 2 is 29.3%? The average protein content is 40.1%? And the monounsaturated fatty acid content in its oil is as high as 44.2%."
Jiang Miao smiled and nodded: "Variety No. 2 is high in oil and can produce high-quality soybean oil."
"Amazing!"
"This variety can produce almost twice as much oil as other domestic soybean varieties, and its oil yield is about 35% higher than that of genetically modified soybeans grown in the United States."
"In fact, the protein content of this variety of soybeans is not low."
"I think oil-pressing companies will like this variety very much."
As experts and scholars in the soybean field, everyone present knew how much benefit high-fat and high-protein varieties would bring to oil extraction companies.
Also one ton of soybeans.
One ton of U.S. soybeans or croton beans can only produce 180 kilograms of soybean oil, and the protein content of soybean meal is about 41%.
One ton of soybeans can produce 290 kilograms of high-quality soybean oil, and the soybean meal protein content is about 56%.
For oil pressing companies, the same ton of soybeans produces 110 kilograms of soybean oil and a large amount of high-protein soybean meal, so Senzu beans are definitely the first choice.
Academician Li looked at the test report of Xiandou No. 3 and said: "The average oil content of Xiandou No. 3 is relatively low, only about 15.2%, but the average soybean protein content is 52.7%. This variety is suitable as feed."
"Mr. Jiang, our college would like to use Senzu soybeans for hybrid breeding. I wonder if we can cooperate..."
"Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Miao was surrounded by a group of scholars and he could only deal with them one by one.
Before I knew it, the sun had climbed up to the top of the branches.
Li Zixuan squeezed in from the crowd and said, "Boss, it's time for the sickle-opening ceremony."
Jiang Miao smiled and looked at everyone: "I'm sorry, I have to go to preside over the ceremony first, we can talk over lunch at noon."
"Mr. Jiang is too polite."
"Mr. Jiang, you go ahead and do your work."
Looking at Jiang Miao's receding back.
Academician Li sighed softly: "It is true that every generation has talented people, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years."
Academician Gai, who is older, leaned on a cane and looked at the soybean field on one side of the venue: "I am getting old, I can't deny it!"
Looking around, there is a vast expanse of soybean fields, like a golden ocean spreading out on the earth.
The ripe bean pods swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if whispering the joy of the harvest.
The sun shines on the bean field, and each plump soybean sparkles with dazzling light, like a golden gem inlaid in the earth.
The leaves have turned yellow, but they still tenaciously guard the heavy bunches of beans.
Academician Gai and several students strolled along the side of the soybean field. The air was filled with the slightly dry fragrance of soybean leaves, which was the purest fragrance bestowed by nature, as well as the miracles formed during the artificial cultivation process.
Bending over to take a closer look, each bean pod is full and swollen, as if they will burst open at any time and pop out the round beans.
The tractor roads beside the fields were also submerged in this golden ocean, leaving only faint traces.
More than a dozen combine harvesters in the distance were already on standby, ready to start harvesting as soon as Jiang Miao gave the order.
"Academician Gai! Please follow me..."
Not a moment.
Jiang Miao, Academician Gai, Academician Li, Academician Jiang, as well as leaders of various agriculture-related departments and local supervisors, a dozen people together picked up sickles.
Jiang Miao, holding a sickle, faced the camera of the 17th Village Channel and said with full energy: "I declare! The Senzu series experimental field of Taminchagan Farm has begun harvesting and yield testing!"
Clap, clap, clap...the audience burst into thunderous applause.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone bent down and cut off a mature soybean vine.
boom boom boom…
More than a dozen large combine harvesters were ignited at the same time. The slightly roaring diesel engines drove various systems of the harvesters. The rolling harvesting heads cut the soybean vines in front of them five centimeters above the roots.
A large area of soybean vines were eaten by the harvester in an instant, and the golden beans were poured into the loading bucket nearby from the discharge pipe on one side. The tractor towed the loading bucket and followed the combine harvester closely.
As one hectare of soybean field was harvested, a loading bucket filled with soybeans harvested from one hectare of soybean field was pulled to the small square by a tractor.
The host of Village 17 Channel looked at the camera with anticipation: "The exciting moment has arrived!"
Then the scene changed, and the host put the microphone in front of Jiang Miao and asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, how many kilograms do you estimate the yield per mu can reach?"
Jiang Miao answered confidently: "The soybean variety in this field is Sendou No. 1. According to the rainfall this year, it should be able to produce about 310 kilograms."
"Oh? Then we'll wait and see."
In the host's expectant words.
The loader pours the beans from the truck bed into sacks, and the farm workers place the sacks full of soybeans on the scale.
As the last sack was put on.
After removing the weight of the sack.
The yield of soybean per hectare is fixed at:
4660.5 kg. The host's voice was full of excitement: "The yield per hectare is 4660.5 kg, and the yield per mu is 310.7 kg! This is an amazing yield!"
clap clap clap...
Everyone at the scene couldn't help but applaud. The applause at this moment reflected their excited hearts.
Those who were invited were naturally strictly screened domestic practitioners in the soybean, grain, oil extraction, feed, breeding or related industries.
They were extremely excited.
Especially in the feed and breeding fields, which have always been deeply influenced by foreign soybeans, when they saw the on-site yield measurement data of Sendou soybeans, which showed that the per-acre yield was completely dry, their palms turned red from clapping.
"I feel proud!"
"We can finally say no to the four major grain merchants!"
"Hahaha…"
"This time, we have completely turned the tables."
Amid the excitement of the crowd, the host followed the camera again and interviewed Dr. Sun, Secretary General of the Feed Association.
The host calmed down and said, "Dr. Sun, regarding the per-acre yield inspection of Senzu soybeans, what impact do you think it will have on my country's grain structure?"
Dr. Sun, who had already reviewed the manuscript, knew how to answer, but his voice still trembled slightly with joy:
"Huh... Senzu soybeans are of vital importance to our country's food security and feed safety... Huh... In the future, our food and feed supply will not only be extremely stable, but also its cost will be within a reasonable range, making the domestic breeding cost the same as that of America and South America, or even slightly lower."
The host asked a question that many people are concerned about: "Then, Dr. Sun, will the price of meat in China drop significantly in the future? Will the situation where low meat prices hurt farmers?"
"This is also a question that many farmers and consumers are concerned about." Dr. Sun explained with a smile:
"From the current situation, the downward trend of domestic meat product prices is foreseeable in the future. This is the general trend, but farmers engaged in the breeding industry do not need to worry, because this time the price drop is caused by the reduction of breeding costs, not the sluggish sales of meat products. There is an essential difference between the two."
The host expressed his own opinion: "Then can I understand it this way, that the price of meat products has dropped, but the breeding costs of farmers have also dropped, so it does not affect the profits of farmers?"
However, Dr. Sun shook his head and said, "No! It will affect the profits of farmers, because as the price of meat products drops, the consumption of meat will increase, especially beef and mutton, which used to be relatively expensive. They will usher in a new round of sales growth."
The host nodded repeatedly: "What Dr. Sun said makes a lot of sense. I also think that domestic meat consumption, especially beef and mutton consumption, will increase. With the increase in demand, farmers can sell more cattle and sheep, and their profits will increase."
Immediately afterwards, the host in the camera came to the side of Academician Jiang.
"Hello, Academician Jiang!"
"Hello host!"
The host was very familiar with Academician Jiang. He introduced to the camera: "Academician Jiang is an expert in soybean food processing theory and technology. His research directions include biological modification of soybean protein, continuous extraction of concentrated protein by alcohol method, biological preparation of functional peptides, dynamic membrane ultrafiltration of whey wastewater, simultaneous preparation of vegetable oils and proteins by bioenzyme method and development of by-products, etc."
"Now let's interview Academician Jiang." The host looked at Academician Jiang and asked, "Academician Jiang, what impact do you think Senzu soybeans will have on the entire soybean processing industry?"
Academician Jiang replied calmly: "Sensou soybeans will increase my country's soybean self-sufficiency rate and effectively cope with price fluctuations in the international market. This is the ballast stone of our food security."
"Academician Jiang, can you tell me about the specific impact?"
"To be more specific, the prices of feed, cooking oil and plant protein have dropped significantly. The impact can be seen directly, such as the recent drop in meat prices. In the future, cooking oil prices will also drop. These are situations that ordinary people can easily see."
The host smiled and nodded: "Thank you Academician Jiang for clearing up our doubts."
"You're welcome."
Finally, the host came over to interview Jiang Miao.
At this time, Jiang Miao was storing the soybean vine that he had just cut in a specially customized box.
The host asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, is this intended as a souvenir?"
"Yes, this soybean is very commemorative. I plan to take it back to the product showroom at the headquarters to display it as a testimony to the growth of Hailufeng Company." Jiang Miao nodded and replied.
"It is indeed very commemorative. It is not only of great significance to Mr. Jiang and Hailufeng Company, but also a milestone in agriculture for our country." The host looked at the soybean vines under the transparent partition of the box with joy in his eyes.
As the host spoke, tears welled up in his eyes without him noticing, and he told the unspeakable agricultural story in his heavy and slightly hoarse voice:
"Someone asked me why I had tears in my eyes. It was because I was so excited. If you know the history of my country's soybean industry, you will probably feel the same as I do at this moment."
Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said, "Around 2000, as we joined the WTO, we had to open up our market. At that time, the big grain traders in the international market set their sights on our soybean industry..."
As the host described the ups and downs of the soybean war bit by bit to the camera in a passionate voice, the audience watching the live broadcast were immediately attracted.
When talking about the total collapse of the domestic soybean industry and America's falsified soybean production report, many viewers cursed ABCD and America for being despicable and shameless.
At the same time, these audience friends also learned about Jiang Miao’s Senzu soybeans and what kind of significance they have for the country.
“…So everyone should say thank you to President Jiang if they can eat cheap meat and cooking oil in the future. Let’s also applaud the thousands of people engaged in agricultural research. It is because of the decades of hard work of these agricultural researchers that we can have enough food to eat today.”
The live broadcast room was filled with comments such as "Come on," "Applause," and "Thank you."
The host finally calmed down and looked at Jiang Miao with a smile: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Jiang. I couldn't help myself for a moment."
"I understand the host's feelings. When I was in college, the teachers at Lion Rock Agricultural University often lamented the disastrous defeat in the soybean war." Jiang Miao nodded slightly.
The host smiled and asked, "Let's get back to the point. Mr. Jiang, do you have anything to say to our audience friends across the country?"
Jiang Miao faced the camera with a gentle look in his eyes: "I just want to say one thing, I hope everyone can have enough to eat."
"Okay! Everyone must not let Mr. Jiang down!" The host smiled and cheered.
As the interview ends.
The soybean harvesting ceremony is coming to an end.
The subsequent yield measurement results of this harvest were also released that evening.
A total of 2.7 acres of soybeans were harvested during the day today, with a total of 8451 tons of soybeans, and an average yield of 313 kilograms per acre.
This per-acre yield result is not only inspiring, but also forces ABCD and its related companies to accept the reality and start to behave themselves.
With this per-acre yield data, even if the desert sandy land and saline-alkali land are not transformed, based on Seres' current 1.55 million acres of soybean planting area, as long as the Senzu series is used, the annual output can be increased from 2100 million tons to 4851 million tons.
This is based on the assumption that Senzu soybeans are only grown for one season, which is only 4851 million tons.
If the model is changed to a two-season harvest, based on the original water and heat conditions of the soybean fields, the annual output of 1.55 million mu of soybean fields can reach 9702 million tons.
Combined with the high fat and protein content of Senzu soybeans, it is basically equivalent to 1.3 million tons of imported genetically modified soybeans.
This fundamentally shattered the fantasies of European and American forces.
Now they have to pray that Seres does not expand the area of Senzu soybean cultivation on a large scale, otherwise the soybean industry in those areas that originally exported soybeans will suffer a devastating blow.
And soy isn’t just about soybeans.
Just like the global soybean futures flash crash in mid-August, not only did soybean futures prices plummet, but also the futures prices of corn, wheat, alfalfa, rice, sorghum, sunflower seeds, rapeseed and palm oil collapsed.
A single move can affect the entire body, and this is vividly reflected in the Senzu soybeans.
And with the long reports on the evening news broadcast.
Many viewers learned about Sendou soybeans, Jiang Miao, Hailufeng Company, the soybean war, ABCD and other things for the first time. The relationship between Goldfish Company and ABCD was once again brought up and criticized by various bloggers who were trying to get attention.
These topics quickly occupied the top ten most popular topics on the Internet that evening.
Jiang Miao’s popularity once again boosted the number of registrations for the Hailufeng specialty store APP.
Although there are all kinds of 1450 and weird people on the Internet who are dismissive of Jiang Miao and even secretly sarcastic about him.
But these noises could not cause any waves at all.
Of course, this series of events also broke the defenses of many people, especially those who had their hearts set on the West and regarded the West as their spiritual homeland. They felt as if their parents had died.
On the contrary, some public intellectuals quickly followed suit and took the initiative to promote Jiang Miao, Xiandou Soybean and Hailufeng Company.
