Chapter 552 Summer Frenzy! The Super Farm's 10,000 Acres of Rice Ripening Shocks Experts
"Tell everyone in the village who is able-bodied to be alert!"
"Get ready for the first bumper harvest of Jiangjia Village!"
Jiang Chen's voice was transmitted throughout the entire Jiangjia Village via walkie-talkie.
Time flies, and we've entered the sweltering heat of July.
Heat waves rolled through the air, and cicadas chirped hoarsely in the trees, as if trying to break the summer apart.
The vast super farm outside Jiangjia Village presents a breathtaking scene that is completely different from the sweltering heat.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, a golden ocean.
After months of being secretly nourished by the spiritual spring water and carefully tended by various high-tech agricultural tools, tens of thousands of acres of rice have ushered in the most glorious moment of their lives.
The heavy ears of rice, in clusters and bunches, almost bent the thick stalks completely.
Each grain is as plump as a fully inflated balloon, its golden shell seemingly containing the essence of life about to burst forth.
Just then, a white SUV with the sign "Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences" was slowly driving on the road next to the farm.
Inside the car sat several elderly experts with gray hair.
They were on a routine trip to the countryside to check on the growth of crops, and the atmosphere in the car was somewhat somber.
"The situation this year is still not optimistic. The abnormal weather has caused the estimated yields in several counties to decline."
The senior expert leading the group, Academician Liu, rubbed his temples, looking worried.
"Yes, our super rice variety has reached another bottleneck. It would be extremely difficult to increase the yield by another five percent."
Another expert echoed this sentiment.
Just then, the driver slammed on the brakes!
"Squeak—!"
The screech of brakes shattered the silence.
The elderly experts in the car were thrown forward by inertia.
"Xiao Zhang! How do you drive like that?!"
Just as Academician Liu was about to get angry, he followed the driver's shocked and stunned gaze and looked out the car window.
The next second, Academician Liu's eyes widened to be bigger than copper bells.
He was completely stunned, pressed himself against the car window, and his mouth was open involuntarily.
"Th-what is that...?"
Looking out the window, the boundless golden ocean, the rice stalks that were as strong as saplings, and the incredibly large ears of rice completely overturned his decades-old view of agricultural science!
"Stop the car! Stop the fucking car right now!"
Academician Liu roared like a madman.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, he flung open the door and scrambled out.
The other senior experts behind him had the same expression, looking as if they had seen a ghost, and rushed out of the car one after another.
A group of highly respected academics, with an average age of over sixty, suddenly tumbled and crawled into the rice paddies by the roadside like a bunch of young lads.
Academician Liu knelt down on the edge of the field with a thud.
He stretched out his hands, which were trembling violently with excitement, and carefully, as if holding a priceless treasure, picked up a heavy bunch of rice ears.
His eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets!
His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"My God..."
"This...this...this rice stalk...how can it be as big as a bunch of grapes?!"
"These grains! So plump! This is unbelievable! This is fucking unbelievable!"
Academician Liu was shouting and yelling like a madman on the edge of the field.
The experts behind him were no better off.
Some people were using magnifying glasses, lying on the ground to study the roots and stems of the rice.
Some seemed to be sleepwalking, repeatedly muttering, "It's fake, it must be fake, I'm dreaming..."
"Quick! Bring the labor testing equipment over here!"
Academician Liu suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted at his assistant at the top of his lungs.
A young assistant hurriedly retrieved a sophisticated portable labor measuring instrument from the car and scrambled over as well.
The machine probe was aimed at the rice ears.
"Beep—beep—"
As soon as the instrument started operating, the numbers on the screen began to skyrocket at an alarming rate!
1000 jin... 1500 jin... 2000 jin...
The numbers are jumping around so fast it's dazzling!
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the numbers on the screen skyrocketed to a breathtaking peak!
"Warning! Warning! The energy value of the detected sample is severely exceeded! The instrument is about to overload!"
A glaring red light flashed on the screen, accompanied by a sharp alarm!
"What exactly is the yield per mu (unit of land area)?"
Academician Liu leaned on the rice stalks beside him, feeling like he was about to collapse. His voice stammered, tinged with fear.
The young assistant holding the instrument swallowed hard.
He stared at the final number on the screen, frozen due to overload, his voice trembling as if he were telling a myth.
"Academician... Academician..."
"The instrument... the final data displayed by the instrument before the overload was..."
"Conservatively estimated, the yield per mu...has exceeded an astonishing...2,200 jin!"
Two thousand two hundred catties!
This number struck like a thunderbolt from the heavens, hitting all the experts hard on the head!
"The average yield per mu in our province is... less than 700 jin..."
An expert muttered to himself, looking utterly dejected.
"Three times! That's a difference of more than three times!"
Academician Liu gasped.
He could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the soft paddy field ridge.
The old man, who had dedicated his life to Chinese agriculture, looked at the golden miracle before him, and suddenly two streams of hot tears flowed from his cloudy eyes.
"miracle……"
"This is absolutely an unprecedented miracle in the history of Chinese agriculture!"
"Quick! Tell me! Who owns this land? Jiang Chen! How did Jiang Chen manage to grow it?!"
Academician Liu was so excited that he became incoherent, grabbing his assistant's arm and shaking it frantically.
Just as all the experts were immersed in this enormous shock, their worldviews were being repeatedly crushed and reshaped.
"Rumble... Rumble..."
An extremely strong tremor suddenly came from the ground not far away!
The sound grew louder and heavier as it approached from afar!
It's as if an army of steel is marching this way!
The entire earth trembled slightly under this terrifying force!
"An earthquake?!"
An expert shouted instinctively.
Academician Liu suddenly raised his head, suppressing his excitement, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
I only glanced at it.
The excitement and tears on his face froze instantly.
Instead, there was an unprecedented fear and horror that originated from the depths of the soul.
His mouth gaped open, and his pupils contracted to their maximum size in an instant.
Amidst the swirling dust, rows of menacing and massive steel silhouettes, exuding an aura of world-destroying power, slowly approached.
Academician Liu felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, and even his breathing stopped.
He mustered all his strength and squeezed out a trembling gasp from his throat.
"What...what kind of monster is that?!"
