"There is indeed a lot of potential. Not to mention growing crops with high economic value, even ordinary crops have a lot of profit margins in terms of yield and high quality."

"As for rice, as far as I know, although the yield of popular hybrid rice is getting higher and higher, which has well solved the food demand of our country's huge population, hybrid rice also has many shortcomings."

"We only saw a significant increase in rice yield, but we ignored a significant reduction in rice quality."

"The rice on our table is now all hybrid rice. When eaten in our mouths, it is hard and rough. Once it gets cold, it is like a stone, like a stone, and it doesn't look like rice at all. Sometimes it is nicknamed high-yield stone rice."

Li Fu nodded after hearing this, and he was also a researcher of biotechnology. Li Fu is quite good at these.

"Brother Fu is right. Our China is the first country in the world to grow rice. Our ancestors started with Emperor Shennong Yan. After thousands of years, we have been growing rice. We have studied rice for thousands of years. After thousands of years of cultivation, we have created the best rice."

"I remember until the 1970s, our Chinese rice was still the best and the best quality in the world. At that time, the rice in Wuxi, Changshu, Huzhou, Jiaxing and other places in Jiangnan was transparent, crystal clear, soft, glutinous and sweet. The quality and taste were much better than the whole world, and much better than the rice in Japan and Thailand. At that time, the white rice was better than the Japanese rice and the Thai indica rice. The white rice was actually just the rice eaten by ordinary people, and it was not the best. However, today, our Chinese rice was the worst in the world, and even foreigners did not eat rice produced in China."

Speaking of this, Gu Feng seemed a little sad and didn't understand these before. However, since he studied rice, he has also known about the history of Chinese rice and the development of global rice.

"I also heard that in order to protect its own agriculture, all the rice grown in Thailand is still traditional rice, not hybrid rice, and it is strictly forbidden to plant hybrid rice. Therefore, Thai rice is so famous. Although the yield is far inferior to hybrid rice, its quality is one of the best rice in the world."

"Thai rice tastes much better than the hybrid rice we grow now, and its nutritional value is also very high."

Chen Bin also nodded. He is now a senior executive of the company, with a high income, and his family's living standards are naturally keeping up. The rice he eats is imported Thai rice.

"We have conducted experimental analysis and found that the nutritional differences between hybrid rice and traditional rice are very different. There are many trace elements that are much worse. In addition, hybrid rice is more difficult to digest, so there is no need to mention the taste, and there is also a hidden danger."

"We don't know whether hybrid rice rice is like genetically modified crops. It is true that we have some risks that cannot be seen to the human body now."

Gu Feng continued to say that in studying rice, of course, all aspects have been studied, and analysis of nutrients is naturally indispensable. The criteria for evaluating rice quality are nothing more than those, nutrition, taste, etc.

"There is no way to cross rice. At that time, the population of our country was very explosive. If we only rely on traditional rice varieties, we would not be able to support more than one billion people. When I was a child, I heard from my grandparents that there were many brothers and sisters, so it was very difficult to have a full meal. The yield of traditional rice was too low, and its ability to resist diseases and pests was very poor."

Li Fu thought carefully and slowly opened his mouth. It was a last resort to replace traditional rice. China's population was too large. If it weren't for the hybrid rice researched by Academician Yuan Longping, China would not know how many people would starve to death. Although hybrid rice seems to have many shortcomings now, this cannot deny Yuan Longping's great contribution.

China is not like Thailand. Thailand is a small country with a very superior geographical location. It is located in a tropical area and has abundant light and precipitation. It is very suitable for rice cultivation. It can be done three times a year. The yield of the same seeds in Thailand is higher than that in China, not to mention that it can be ripened more than a year.

Thailand can continue to seed traditional rice varieties without any scruples, but China cannot do it because the food consumed by more than one billion people every day is too large. There is no choice, so we can only satisfy everyone's appetite first. As for taste, nutrition, whether it is easy to digest, whether there are any hidden dangers, etc., they are secondary considerations.

"These problems are not problems in space. If we can see rice on a large scale in space, we can actually use the seeds handed down by our ancestors."

"There is no need to consider pests and diseases in space, and there is no need to worry about light. Even ordinary rice produces twice the highest yield of hybrid rice."

Gu Feng nodded slightly. He is now an expert in rice research, so he naturally knows these things.

"If we include the reasonable utilization of space and the factors that can be planted throughout the year are included, the yield should actually be more than ten times. Most areas in China are ripe every year. Although it can be ripe every year, no one will plant ripe every year."

"We can do the best in space. Even if we calculate the longest 120-day cycle of Northeast rice, we can cook three times a year, and it will not cause any decline in quality."

After hearing Gu Feng's words, everyone present couldn't help but nodded. There may be many restrictions on the development of agriculture in space, such as water resources need to be transported from the earth, and the construction of space agricultural bases, etc. The investment on the premise is very huge, but with the development of aerospace planes, these restrictions are no longer a problem.

On the contrary, the advantages of space agriculture can be reflected, with sufficient light, infinite space, and a significant increase in crop yield in microgravity environments, no pests and diseases, no pesticides required, etc. These advantages are not available on the earth.

"It seems that we can increase investment in space agriculture in the future, build a large space farmland as soon as possible, and take out high-quality, high-yield and high-economic space agriculture for the world to see. In this way, our domestic power will also follow."

"At that time, we Chinese will be able to eat good rice like our ancestors again, instead of hybrid rice."

Chen Bin also nodded, seeing the vast prospects of space agriculture, and of course, what is more important is that it can allow Chinese people to eat rice that they can rest assured.

"Eating is a very important thing. Whether the health is good or not actually related to eating. In the past, I served in the National Air Force. The rice we ate in the Air Force of our army was traditional rice. It tasted very good, tasted very good, and was rich in nutrition. These are rice for special spaces."

"If they are astronauts, their food will be better. Everything they eat is specially grown and special products, so they are in very good health and can bear the heavy pressure of astronauts."

Luo Xiaoyao has a great say in this area and knows the importance of eating to the body.

"Food is the most important thing for people. This is not only about people who need to eat enough, but also about eating well. The quality of physical fitness has a lot to do with what they eat."

"Western people are generally taller than our oriental people, because the proportion of meat in their dietary structure is higher. As our living standards improve in recent years, the proportion of meat has increased, so our average height is also increasing."

"Now, hybrid rice and genetically modified foods account for a large proportion of our Chinese food. Genetically modified foods are prohibited in many countries, and even people from Western countries do not eat hybrid rice."

"Although our current research cannot determine whether genetically modified foods and acrobatic rice will cause harm to the human body, this does not mean that we can relax our vigilance because of this."

Gu Feng nodded. In fact, a person's health is actually very related to eating. People who often eat meat are usually red, while people who eat vegetables every day are generally thinner.

"Gu Feng, you can leave this matter to you. You need funds, manpower, technical support, etc. to tell me that as Chen Bin said, we should first build a large agricultural field in space. Taking this as a typical example, we must drive the domestic power of China to invest in this area so that more people can eat the rice of our ancestors."

Li Fu thought carefully in his mind, then he slowly said to Gu Feng as if he had made up his mind.

Li Fu knew from the seeds of the super-civilized Han Science and Technology Empire that the higher the cosmic civilization, the more important it is to manage the diet of his citizens. Ordinary citizens of the Han Science and Technology Empire generally eat a kind of rice rich in vitality - Zi Ling Rice.

Only by eating well can the body's physical fitness be better and lifespan can be greatly improved. The improvement of the overall national lifespan is also an important indicator to measure the level of development of a civilization. Even on the earth, the average lifespan is also a very important indicator to measure the human development index of a country.

Although China has a large population, its physical fitness is actually far inferior to that of Western countries. For a very simple selection of air force pilots, it is actually very difficult to select qualified pilots in China. Not to mention the vision alone, it is enough to eliminate too many people.
