Chapter 276: Transplanting and Seeding Begins
"Engineer Li, I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such advanced agricultural machinery! You are going to revolutionize our agriculture!"
"That's right! With this thing, one person can do the work of ten people! All the work in the fields can be done by it!" Old Zhao couldn't suppress his inner ecstasy and patted Li Yang's shoulders repeatedly.
"Mr. Li, you are truly a great benefactor to us farmers! You deserve a first-class award for your contribution!"...
Li Yang looked around, and faced with everyone's eager gazes, his heart was extremely excited?1?8
Yes, all the hardships along the way are worth it!
As long as we can work for the benefit of the people, no matter how hard or tiring it is, what does it matter?
He wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes and stared at the silver-shining hand tractor with a firm gaze.
No, it’s too early to be happy! The most critical field test has not yet begun!
Thinking of this, Li Yang slapped his thigh, grabbed the key and rushed to the driver's seat?1?8
"Come on, brothers! Let's go to the field and try it out to see what this big guy can do!"
……
The walk-behind tractor roared out of the factory area, speeding along the way and raising clouds of dust.
Soon, the wasteland allocated by the higher authorities appeared before his eyes. Li Yang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but step on the accelerator.
Boom!
The roar of the engine became more and more intense, and the black smoke spewing out of the exhaust pipe instantly enveloped the entire field.
The tractor rushed into the mud like an angry rhinoceros.
The wide tires rolled up and down, rolling over patches of grass, crushing the fragile stalks into flying debris.
"Haha, it's so exciting!" Li Yang sat in the cab, steering with one hand and holding the joystick tightly with the other.
He stared at the field ridges outside the front window, which were constantly receding. He felt a surge of passion in his chest, and his blood was boiling!
The people behind him were stunned, and they all stretched their necks, afraid of missing every wonderful moment.
Li Yang shouted as he drove: "Everyone, watch carefully! Now I will demonstrate the reverse rotary tillage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the joystick hard. With a crisp "click" sound, the rear end of the vehicle lifted up nimbly and the rotary tiller slowly sank into the ground.
With a rumbling sound, neat rows of soil were crushed into pieces, turning into surging mud waves that gushed out from under the iron claws!
"This, this is too amazing, right?" Lao Ma's jaw almost dropped and his eyes widened.
He had lived for most of his life and had never seen anything like this:
The tractor moves forward and the soil is tilled in the reverse direction, which is totally subversive!
"Great! Now we can skip the plowing process! We can just till the land directly. It's much easier!"
"Well, the word 'no-till' is not called for nothing!" Old Zhao exclaimed in amazement and wanted to go to the field to try it out right away.
But Li Yang didn't give him this opportunity.
He suddenly pulled the gear lever, and the tractor accelerated suddenly, rushing straight towards a low-lying flooded area!
"No, they can't help it!" Old Zhao exclaimed, his face changed drastically?1?8
But it's too late?1?8
The iron guy has rushed into the mud, splashing mud all over the sky!
The wheels were slipping wildly and almost got stuck. The scene was very thrilling.
Just when everyone was on tenterhooks, a miracle happened!
With a few crisp "clicks", the four-wheel drive started instantly, the car body shook violently, and it broke free from the mud!
"See? This is our domestically made 'big toe'!" Li Yang shouted proudly, "Don't look at how deep it is stuck. At the critical moment, the four-wheel drive will never be ambiguous!"
Everyone felt as if they were facing a great enemy. They were shocked and delighted, and they only wished they had more eyes.
In the next hour, Li Yang demonstrated the performance of this walk-behind tractor.
Whether it is digging trenches, cultivating soil, sowing seeds or applying fertilizers, it is completed in an orderly and easy manner.
The vast farmland was reclaimed in the blink of an eye and was neatly divided into standard plots of land.
From a distance, the whole land has taken on a new look, and the breath of mechanized operations is overwhelming!
……
When the hand tractor drove back to the factory, the people waiting there were all excited.
They cheered and jumped for joy, speaking incoherently with excitement, and rushed forward to surround Li Yang.
"Mr. Li, you are so great! When can we put this treasure into production?"
"That's right. With this thing, what do we have to worry about in the countryside?"
"You are truly a great savior of the poor! This contribution is more valuable than collecting grain!"
Just as everyone was immersed in excitement and cheers were heard one after another, there was suddenly a commotion at the factory gate.
I saw several black cars rushing in at lightning speed, and stopped abruptly in front of the tractor. The car doors opened with a "bang", and several middle-aged men in neat clothes walked out. The leader was none other than the big leader and the director of the tractor factory!
"Xiao Li, what happened? Your emergency call scared us all!" The big leader wiped the sweat off his face and looked at the scene in front of him in confusion.
"Leader, look! Our independently developed new type of walk-behind tractor has passed the field test!" Li Yang walked up to him excitedly and respectfully made a "please" gesture.
"Ah? It succeeded so quickly?" The big boss' eyes widened immediately, somewhat incredulous.
He took two steps at a time, walked quickly to the tractor, and looked at it carefully.
It didn't matter when I saw it, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth!
"Fuck! This is too advanced, isn't it?" the big boss muttered to himself, with shock written all over his face, "Before, Xiao Li mentioned to me that he wanted to make agricultural machinery, and I thought he was just joking! No, I didn't expect that it would actually..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but stroke the smooth body of the tractor, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
The director of the tractor factory standing nearby had his eyes shining as he kept looking at this huge machine.
"This diesel engine is amazing! The beam and the thick tires are so powerful!"
He kept mumbling to himself, not even breathing, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
"Awesome! Really awesome! How did you do it? These farm tools are so complete, aren't they?" Li Yang felt very happy to see the two leaders so excited.
He pointed to the drawing beside him and said proudly: "You two may not know this, but this is the result of our collective wisdom! We worked together day and night for a month! From the engine to the hydraulic system to the frame welding, nothing is not independently developed by us! Carrying the banner of national industry, it is our responsibility!"
"Good! Good! This slogan is well shouted!" The big leader was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes and he patted Li Yang on the shoulder repeatedly.
"Xiao Li, you have made a great contribution! This hand-held tractor can be regarded as a milestone in the agricultural revolution!" He turned around and told his entourage: "Write it down! Report to your superiors immediately when you return, and strive to get the project approved and put into mass production as soon as possible!"
Then he asked about the drawings, and Li Yang immediately said that he would keep one copy and hand over the rest.
"Don't worry, I've always been selfless. What's more, we have a complete set of independent intellectual property rights, so why should we be afraid of theft?" The big boss was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said that he would give Li Yang a first-class merit when he returned. He also waved his hand and asked all departments to cooperate fully.
With this statement, the mass production of walk-behind tractors has been settled.
……
The busy farming season has quietly arrived, and the experimental fields of the United Technologies Center are bustling with activity.
Dozens of workers were busy in the fields, walking hurriedly and sweating profusely.
Among all the people, Li Yang was the most active.
I saw him with his trouser legs rolled up, barefoot, a bamboo basket in one hand and a tattered straw hat in the other, rushing on the ridge of the field under the scorching sun.
Next to him, Lao Ma and Xiao Liu were also following his footsteps to learn the techniques of transplanting rice seedlings.
"Hey, Mr. Li, why are your seedlings growing so well? They are different from the rice seedlings we usually see!" Old Ma asked curiously while working hard.
"That's right. Look at these seedlings. Each one is strong and has shiny green leaves. It's obvious that they will produce high yields!" Xiao Liu also stopped and looked at the seedlings carefully, marveling at them.
"Haha, that's it!" Li Yang said with a smile, "This is a fine variety that I carefully cultivated. It is much better than ordinary seedlings!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really? Where did you get such good seeds?"
"That's right, please teach us and plant some too!" Li Yang smiled mysteriously and kept everyone in suspense: "These are all my unique secret recipes. I'll tell you in detail some other day. 1?8 For now, let's finish the work first and try to plant more acres!"
When everyone heard this, their fighting spirit was immediately high.
"Okay! Just follow Mr. Li, you won't go wrong!"
"Follow closely, don't let Engineer Li charge into battle alone!"
……
Soon, rows of green seedlings took root in the soil.
The workers worked together and cooperated well. In just half a day, they planted more than ten acres of rice.
From afar, the fields look like a green ocean, with the seedlings swaying in the wind, full of vitality.
Everyone was in high spirits and very excited.
"After planting so much, won't we be able to harvest a good harvest?"
"Of course we need to know. With Engineer Li's cutting-edge technology backing us up, what do we have to worry about?"
"That's right! Look at how the seedlings are growing. They are sure to have a high yield!" Everyone was talking at once, full of expectations for the future harvest.
Li Yang also smiled without saying anything, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Yes, these are all his masterpieces!
These are the rice seeds provided by the system.
That is to say, it is different from ordinary rice seeds.
In this era, the average rice yield per mu is only about 300 to 400 kilograms.
Many farmers work hard for a year but cannot support their families.
However, these high-quality rice varieties from later generations can easily produce 600 to 700 kilograms per mu!
If scientific field management is applied, pesticides and fertilizers are used properly, a yield of 1,000 kilograms is not a dream!
Li Yang's mind was filled with beautiful pictures: countless farmers, all smiling, with the joy of a good harvest written all over their faces;
Cartloads of rice were transported to various places, filling the stomachs of thousands of people; the motherland was thriving everywhere, and there was no more suffering from hunger...
