361: There is no harm without comparison.

forest one only needs one seed to protect one square meter of land from desertification, while the desert rice paddy needs five seeds?

This, could Mr. Su have made a mistake?

Hearing Su Yu's introduction, Dean Li, who was beside him, was startled, but because it was a live broadcast, he couldn't step forward to remind him and could only stomp his feet anxiously.

So, in terms of soil stabilization efficiency, isn't Meijian Country's forest one five times more effective than the desert rice paddy?

Meanwhile, in front of the TV, Dean John couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahahaha, the desert rice paddy requires five seeds to achieve the same soil stabilization effect as one forest one seed. It's clear who is more efficient and whose technological level is higher."

"I knew it. How could anyone be more proficient in sand research than our Meijian Country? This isn't something to be taken for granted. Research requires accumulated time and precipitation to continue."

Next to Dean John, the chief scientist responsible for the forest one research nodded in agreement.

"That's right, our forest one is currently the world's leading agricultural technology. A developing country that has only researched for a few days wants to try and compete; they need to understand their own capabilities."

At the press conference, a reporter also keenly caught the issue in Su Yu's answer.

"Mr. Su, you just said that the desert rice paddy seeds need five to stabilize one square meter of soil, but forest one only needs one seed. How can this be considered excellent?"

Su Yu seemed to have anticipated such doubts from the outside world, and unhurriedly waved his hand, smiling as he began to explain.

"Everyone, let's consider this conversion. The successful planting rate of forest one seeds is only 70%. That means, out of one hundred seeds, they can at most guarantee that seventy seeds will be effective."

"One hundred seeds are worth ten thousand US dollars and can solve the problem of seventy square meters of sandy soil. To solve the same seventy square meters of sandy soil, three hundred and fifty desert rice seeds are needed."

"However, I forgot to add that the survival rate of the desert rice paddy is 99.98%."

"And the price of one desert rice seed is twenty national currency."

Everyone silently calculated in their minds: five desert rice seeds cost one hundred national currency. According to the current international exchange rate, converting national currency to US dollars would only be fourteen US dollars.

Fourteen US dollars?

Fourteen US dollars?!!!

For the same area, forest one needs ten thousand US dollars to solve seventy square meters of sandy soil, while the desert rice paddy only needs nine hundred and eighty US dollars, not even a thousand US dollars?!!!

This is a price difference of more than ten times.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Dean John's expression at this moment was worse than if he had eaten a fly.

And those allied countries who had previously blindly believed in Meijian Country were now filled with regret.

A tenfold price difference, that's a full ten times!!!

It's important to know that the amount of their signed orders was already huge. This is not a difference of one and ten, nor ten and a hundred, but a difference of billions and tens of billions, tens of billions and hundreds of billions!

Just a few hours later, the losses were so great that it made people want to die.

Hearing Su Yu's quotation, other countries that had almost impulsively placed procurement orders were relieved. Fortunately, they held back and didn't place orders immediately.

No one expected it!!

Everyone was surprised.

Originally, they only thought that Huaxia Country's desert rice paddy was more cost-effective and practical, but they didn't expect the most surprising thing to be the price.

Seeing that the reporter from Meijian Country who had just raised the question was speechless, Su Yu continued to explain.

"Just now, we only calculated the price of the seeds and the soil stabilization efficiency. Next, let's talk about its other aspects."

"In terms of crops, the harvest yield of the desert rice paddy reaches 75% of hybrid rice! That is to say, as long as you purchase the desert rice paddy, you no longer have to worry about resource waste."

"Desert land will be transformed from barren and useless soil into high-quality soil with a higher yield than ordinary cultivated fields."

"It not only solves the problem of land desertification once and for all but also addresses the issue of wasted land resources in many areas due to too much desert."

When his words fell, the scene fell into a long silence.

If the desert rice paddy can truly achieve the same effects as Su Yu described, it would be a devastating blow to Meijian Country's recently released forest one.

As Dean John himself said, there indeed existed an insurmountable gap between Meijian Country and Huaxia Country in the research of desert soil agricultural science.

The two were at least twenty years apart in technological level.

However, this gap was not with Meijian Country ahead, but with Huaxia Country ahead!

"Then, Mr. Su, could you please tell us more about the planting difficulty of the desert rice paddy and whether the harvested rice seeds can be reused?"

The reporter racked his brains and asked another question.

Su Yu answered this question without hesitation.

"The desert rice paddy is very easy to plant; you just need to scatter the seeds in the sand pit. The rice seeds have extremely strong vitality; they can not only withstand the extremely high temperatures on the ground but also absorb moisture from the air independently, making them self-sufficient. Once planted, you only need to wait for the harvest."

"The harvested rice seeds can be eaten normally as food, but their second-generation seeds will lose their planting ability and soil stabilization effect."

Because of the precedent of the super-yield watermelon seed, Su Yu also adopted the one-time planting technology when designing the desert rice paddy.

This prevents buyers from only purchasing a few seeds and then expanding their scale through continuous propagation and planting later, which is speculative behavior.

Simply put, only the first-generation seeds of the desert rice paddy have soil stabilization and planting effects; seeds after the second generation can only be used as food.

However, the sandy land nurtured by the desert rice paddy will be transformed back into fertile land. Even if the rice seeds are removed later, other plants or crops can still be planted.

This is always a highly profitable endeavor.

Subsequently, Su Yu answered a series of detailed questions about the desert rice seed, and everyone received satisfactory answers.

It was at this point that people finally understood for the first time what true technology as the primary productive force meant!

The value of the saying "no comparison, no harm" was once again validated.

Who said that latecomers cannot surpass those who came before?

Huaxia Country and Su Yu did it!!

The press conference had not yet ended, but a long line of foreign ambassadors had already formed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Huaxia Country.
