Chapter 8, Natural and Man-made Disasters, Famine Strikes
At the age of eight, He Chuan's fa had reached its peak.
He had been known as a 'prodigy' and 'genius' since he was four years old.
Now, he was being sought after by countless people as a master of literature and art, and his fans were spread all over the world.
This na had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of people all over the world.
His deeds have beco a more legendary existence than the protagonists in his novels.
Everyone thinks that only legends can write legends.
However, there is a deviation from what was known.
All the legends heard in the past were in books.
Now, there was a legend living in the world.
This was what they feel was the most wonderful place.
Many people ca with admiration and curiosity.
They wanted to see He Chuan.
However, after he graduated from the Genius Class, he ignored the admission notice of many famous universities and completely disappeared.
At this ti, He Chuan had already started to solve the difficult scientific research problems.
He started to research solutions to his illness.
During the few years he studied in the Genius Class, he cramd a lot of knowledge.
Now, he had a vague idea of the reason for his illness.
It was very complicated.
It couldn't be explained in one or two sentences.
In general, it was a biological 'mystery'. It wasn't easy to solve this mystery.
Even with the help of the system, it was still difficult.
Parallel Earth calendar year 2014.
He Chuan was nine years old and was running around doing experints.
The old professor he t in the library ca when he heard the news. Using this relationship, he successfully rented a top laboratory in the country.
During this period, he spent countless materials and experinted several tis.
Unfortunately, there was no progress on the topic related to He Clan's Syndro.
However, there are so new breakthroughs in the study of biology as a whole, but for now, the field of application is unknown.
Parallel Earth calendar 2015.
It is like the end of the world.
Various natural disasters occur frequently in the country. Earthquakes, droughts, torrential rains, ecological collapse, and grain production had been reduced by 90%, and livestock farming has also been hit.
Parallel Earth calendar year 2016.
The country's grain reserves were in short supply. It fell into a period of poverty and weakness, and the economy was depressed.
Parallel Earth calendar year 2017.
He Chuan was also affected. He did not have enough food to eat, so he took the initiative to take advantage of a new breakthrough in biology. He stopped his original research and began to look for ways to cultivate high-yielding hybrid grain.
...
This year, He Chuan was 12 years old.
He looked a little mature, but now he was in a wheelchair.
Due to the fact that scientific research consud too much energy, he was now paralyzed for almost a third of the ti every day.
Now, he could only be pushed by his assistant on the streets that were no longer as prosperous as before.
There were traces of disasters everywhere.
The streets were dirty and ssy. There was almost no place to stay.
"No one ca to clean it up?" He asked softly.
Beside him, his assistant put on a mask for He Chuan, and at the sa ti, he replied, "At the beginning, they had been sending people to clean it up, but not long after they were done, there was a flood. After that, there was a series of earthquakes. The disaster did not stop... Now, there are shortages of supplies and food everywhere. There is really no choice but to leave it alone for the ti being."
He Chuan nodded his head in understanding.
His gaze swept across the street. There were not many shops that were open for business.
There were only so temporary stations that distributed daily necessities.
However, he did not see anything related to food.
"It seems that the problem is very serious."
He Chuan sighed softly. Looking at the empty office building that reached into the clouds, he could not help but feel a little lancholic.
The assistant pushed him and told him what had happened in the outside world in the past two years.
The impact of this natural disaster was unprecedented.
In the two years since the grain production was greatly reduced, the country had also made so moves. The number of imports that should be increased had also increased. The adjustnts that should be made had all been adjusted, but the effect was always limited.
After all, it was a large country with more than a billion people.
The amount of food consud every day was very frightening.
It was unrealistic to rely entirely on import trade to solve the problem.
Moreover, the impact of natural disasters was far beyond what can be seen.
Natural and man-made disasters were always linked together.
All kinds of disasters and the shortage of food supply have caused many people to fall into panic.
At this ti, who would still have the mood to work?
The output has plumted in all walks of life.
The consequences were endless.
Of course, the main problem was food.
More than a billion people need to be fed.
They don't have enough to eat every day, which was what needs to be solved.
But the consequences of this natural disaster were very serious.
It was no exaggeration to say that it has changed the environnt of the land in the country to a certain extent.
Large areas of the affected land were no longer able to grow the original crops.
Now, even if they wanted to replant, there was no way.
Unless they could develop seeds that were more adaptable and produced more, saving the people of the country from suffering!
"If I can solve this problem, there will definitely be a lot of evaluation points."
He Chuan tried to stretch his body and found that his right hand had recovered.
So he picked up his phone and made a call.
"I need an experintal plot."
...
Over the years, as He Chuan's fa grew, he also got to know many people.
Among them, there was no lack of high-level leaders of the state.
The higher-ups attached great importance to such a talent like him.
Naturally, they would not refuse this request.
What surprised He Chuan was that.
The state seed to attach too much importance to him.
When he arrived at his destination, he found that he had not only taken over the experintal plot but also a professional R & D team was at his disposal.
It was full of agricultural bigwigs, all of whom were full of glory.
But now, they had beco his subordinates.
This honor was not sothing that ordinary people could have.
Moreover, when the country was at its poorest, they had given him 30 million research funds.
The leader said that no matter how much progress was made or how much money was invested, the country would give its full support.
With such help, the experint naturally went very smoothly.
[Hybrid rice A and B, the survival rate is less than 5%.]
[Hybrid rice A and C, yield per mu is less than 300 kilograms.]
[Hybrid rice B and C, unable to adapt (develop) to the following types of land.]
...
[Hybrid rice G1 and N7, perfect match!]
Looking at the results of the system's deduction, He Chuan did not need to do too many experints to find the most suitable hybrid rice seed.
The rest of the matters would be left to the group of agricultural bigwigs to do.
In the end, in just half a year's ti, the first generation of hybrid rice was bred, yielding 2,000 catties per mu!
One had to know that the maximum yield of ordinary rice growing in high-yielding fields was only less than 1,400 catties.
Now, the first round of cultivation had achieved a 50% increase in yield. As soon as this news was reported to the higher-ups, they were shocked.
Was this a joke?
1 mu is equal to one-fifteenth of a hectare, around 0.165 acres.",
