Chapter 364

"I remember that at that time, my uncle fell ill due to malnutrition and was not treated. He died later and was not reported. His account has not been cancelled, so he received an extra ration."

"Because of long-term hunger, many people suffered from edema. My aunt was so hungry that she had 'three swellings and three eliminations', and finally starved to death; Sitting listlessly in the courtyard dam basking in the sun, motionless, as soon as they heard the bell of the cafeteria, they all jumped up and rushed to the cafeteria." The old man's narration was very calm, but amidst the calm, there was Demonstrates a kind of strength.

"Later, I grew up, and our country became better. I remember it was in 1977, that is, when I was 18 years old, it just happened that the country resumed the college entrance examination. I studied desperately. I squeezed out every bit of time I could to memorize and study, and I was finally admitted to the Department of Agriculture of Southwest Agricultural University. From then on, my life trajectory has changed." The phantom of the old man even grinned.

"Later, our country became better and better, and being full was no longer a problem in our country. After 1994, our country completely abolished the food stamp system. In that year, our country's per capita grain output reached an unprecedented 412.24 kg/person .There is also a small part of my strength in it, and I am proud of it."

"My wish is that the tragic famine I encountered when I was a child will never happen again."

"However, the shadow of famine has always hung over the world."

"In 2008, a global food crisis broke out. At that time, the world's food reserves were only 405 million tons, which was only enough for human beings to last for 53 days. This disaster was a wake-up call and warned all human beings."

"Even last year, more than a billion people in the world were still hungry; if you count those who are suffering from vitamin deficiencies, undernutrition and other forms of malnutrition, the total number of people suffering from food insecurity may Nearly 3 billion, accounting for about half of the world's total population."

"And then, the mass cleansing and mass extinction came." The old man's voice became tense.

"The farm was burned, and all kinds of crops were completely wiped out. The unharvested winter wheat was destroyed in the raging fire. In some places, even the farmland was directly covered with cement. It seems impossible to replant in a short time. .”

"Yes, it will be safe to do so, and it will ensure that the evolution of animals and plants will not harm us."

"But, in the future—"

"What are we going to eat?!" The old man's questioning voice echoed in the wish exchange shop, almost deafening.

"The shadow of famine has once again shrouded our heads." The old man's voice gradually calmed down.

"This time, this shadow is more terrifying and more ferocious than all the times in the past."

"According to the internal statistics of our Grain Research Institute, there are already very serious food crises in some parts of the world, but under the cover of fierce wars, the problem does not appear to be so serious."

"But I know that counting all the food reserves in the world now, it can probably last for three to four months."

"If you can't discover a brand-new main food suitable for human beings within these three to four months, then—"

The old man took a breath, and then continued: "Then, the nightmare of my childhood, the famine that swept everything, the disaster that took away many lives and brought a lot of pain, will come again."

"My senior at the same school, our predecessors in the food industry, and the honorary director of our research institute, Academician Yuan Longping, have spent more than 50 years of hard work constantly looking for and improving rice."

"He is my idol. I have been trying to learn from him. I persisted in working when I was least known, and buried my head in the fields when I was most famous."

"The rice in the past has mutated—even if it hasn't mutated, according to the theory of animal and plant evolution, they will mutate in the future—we can no longer count on the food of the old era; now, it's our turn for the new For a generation, go to find new food crops."

"The state has allocated a lot of funds and resources to our scientific research institute, and has also issued a death order. We must find alternative food."

The old man said firmly, "I'm working hard."

His words carry a strange power: "I will definitely find it."

The figure of the old man disappeared, but his sonorous voice seemed to still be echoing in the wish exchange shop.

Compared with the previous more painful and more personal wishes, the wishes of the grape grower and the grain researcher appear to be more popular and have more extensive application value.

Especially the wish of this food researcher with a reward of up to 100 million, it has a taste of boundless love and a bright future for the world.

Reward amount, reward amount——

Shang Yinhe thought for a while, and roughly had a guess.

In his guess, the reward amount may include both the spiritual power of the wishing customer and the influence of the wish itself.

Take the previous owner of the vineyard as an example. If Shang Yinhe fulfills the wish of the owner of the vineyard and really provides him with a new type of grape that has evolved to taste better, grow faster, have a docile temperament, and is more suitable for winemaking, then this grape will definitely not It will only affect him alone.
