Chapter 788: Cornucopia (8)
Community, home, living room.
Ding Ding and Gao Yi, who had just received the news that Ding Yun was the top scholar in liberal arts in the province, were overjoyed. The next moment, when Ding Yun made it clear that he wanted to apply for the Agricultural College of the province, they were completely dumbfounded and looked at each other.
After a long time, Gao Yicai frowned and asked seriously:
"Xiaoyun, why do you have this idea? The Agricultural College must be very hard. I remember going there to farm and so on. Can you bear this hardship on weekdays?
You have never been to the fields since you were a child."
"Yes, with your grades, you can choose a good university and find a good job after graduation. Why do you have to apply for the Agricultural College?
I heard people say that the research environment in agricultural colleges is much more difficult now than before, because the most important thing in current agricultural research is to cultivate cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops, so it will definitely not be possible to plant them in a greenhouse when the time comes.
It is very likely that they have to endure the high temperature of more than 40 degrees to wait for harvesting in the experimental field.
You may have to farm at minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius.
Even if you don’t plant much, it’s still very hard work!
You can't bear this hardship, so you'd better listen to your mother and me and sign up for a general major, no matter it's economics, literature or something else. Sign up for a more general major, and you'll be the one studying seeds."
Ding Ding also joined in and persuaded.
For him, the fact that his daughter can become the provincial liberal arts champion is not just a matter of smoke rising from the ancestral graves, it can also be regarded as a fire in the ancestral graves and a volcano erupting.
For a daughter with such great achievements to go farming, isn't this killing pigs with a bull's knife or using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes?
So naturally he had to persuade.
“Dad, Mom, if the higher-ups weren’t worried about the future and knew very well that the extreme weather in the future was unlikely to disappear, how could they have made such a big determination and made so many changes?
Moreover, I am also considering this for our family.
How long do you think our country's grain reserves can last, five or ten years? I think it is impossible for the country to consume all the grain reserves.
Definitely have to reserve some.
Even if I really can't achieve anything, I will definitely be able to easily enter the corresponding industry after graduating from the agricultural college. I believe that jobs in this type of industry will definitely be the most popular in four or five years.
In other words, at least there is no need to worry about food and clothing.
It can even bring some benefits to your family.
For example, seventy years ago, did you ever hear that people who worked in grain stations and restaurants were starving at home?"
Ding Yun did not persuade her parents from the perspective of "I like it, I want it, I am contributing to the country", but instead speculated on the future in a different way, and if the future is really like this, the benefits of her making this choice now.
Sometimes some concepts are difficult to change in a short period of time.
For example, I don't like those who study in agricultural colleges.
But there are some points that can be easily understood as long as someone points them out, such as the overall outlook for the future, which is not optimistic.
Another example is if the overall situation is really not optimistic.
Anyone who studies agriculture can probably make a good job.
Under Ding Yun's persuasion, Ding Ding and Gao Yi, who had no expectations for the future, negotiated carefully for a long time before reluctantly agreeing to her application to the Agricultural College.
However, agreement is still agreement, and the specific reasons must be negotiated and changed again. That is to say, if outsiders ask, you cannot say these things when being interviewed.
At that time, it will have to be said that it is for the country and the people, it will be said that it is to solve the food problem, to solve the frequent difficulties in today's extreme environment, etc., that I joined the Agricultural College.
In other words, at least the reputation is better.
Everyone has to give a few words of praise.
After that, it was natural for people from the school to come to congratulate, interview and take pictures, and even reward the superiors and other messy things. In short, Ding Yun went through the process that the number one scholar had enjoyed in the past smoothly, even because she said she wanted to join the agricultural industry.
Because of the academy, he also received more attention and praise than other top picks.
Although some people made sarcastic remarks and muttered for show, most people mainly praised it, thinking that the more high-quality talents enter agricultural colleges, the more hope they can cultivate crops that can solve today's difficulties.
It took a long time before the heat gradually dissipated.
Ding Yun also hurriedly entered school early.
And after the school started, I learned all the theoretical knowledge as quickly as possible, and began to actively apply to participate in practice and some breeding or hybridization projects of improved varieties.
He became a famous genius in the Agricultural College.
And the desperate Sanniang.
After all, she can wear warm jade when the weather is cold, and she can wear cold jade when the weather is hot. Whether she goes to the fields to do farm work when the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius, or goes to the fields to do farm work when the temperature is 30 to 40 degrees below zero, Ding Yun
They are much more comfortable than others and not so unbearable.
Naturally, you will do more work than others.
What's the problem with getting the title of a desperate mistress?
While Ding Yun was completing his studies, the entire world environment was still changing. The active macro-control at home and the laissez-faire abroad were in sharp contrast. This is not the key point, the key point is
The reason is that foreign countries' laissez-faire policy directly makes it difficult for them to achieve any good results quickly no matter how much they do domestically.
Because the current environmental problems are not regional problems at all, but problems of the entire world. Regional changes have really little impact on the world.
For example, when it comes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and even afforestation, China has always done a good job. In recent years, it has increased a lot of expenditures in this area. However, abroad, a forest fire that lasts for more than half a year is enough.
Burning the fruits of decades of domestic efforts will result in countless carbon dioxide emissions.
How can people save themselves from extreme weather!
The emission of so much carbon dioxide does not mean that it will just stay there. It will eventually enter the entire world's environmental cycle. At that time, people all over the world will have to pay for their inaction.
And as summer temperatures get higher and higher, the frequency of forest fires in countries around the world is also increasing. However, in addition to domestic responses, even ordinary people are participating in firefighting, quickly extinguishing forest fires in the bud, or at least
It is difficult for other countries to do this except that the forest fires will not get out of control, and the fires will burn for several months.
The carbon dioxide emitted by forest fires alone every year is almost catching up with the carbon dioxide emitted by industrialization, not to mention that the world has lost so many forests and has lost its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
In short, the world situation is quite bad.
In just a few years, the number of people living below the subsistence line in the world has soared from the initial one billion to nearly three billion. No one can do anything about this. Even countries that have been exporting food now have a large number of people.
Most have had to stop exporting.
In addition, various actions that damage the environment, such as the large-scale fishing of marine life, have not diminished due to environmental degradation, and are even becoming more and more intense.
Because food is declining, other alternatives must be found.
When they are about to starve to death next month, many people can no longer think about what will happen next year or the year after that, so they can only continue to take advantage of it.
This creates a vicious cycle.
The worse the environment deteriorates, the more people have to destroy the environment and catch organisms to ensure that they do not starve to death, which will lead to further deterioration of the environment. Some extremely poor and backward countries that could have benefited from assistance have begun to starve to death in large numbers, and their food mainly depends on imports.
Countries have also begun to experience great turmoil. Only a few countries with vast territories and sparsely populated areas are currently relatively less affected.
Domestically, we are now only relying on inventory for support.
However, compared with other countries, or compared with all countries in the world, China still has an advantage, that is, China has taken the lead in breaking through artificial starch technology a few years ago, but the technology is not mature, the cost is high, and the consumption is very high.
It's just more energy.
But no matter what, this can at least provide the bottom line.
It can be done when there is sufficient energy.
