Chapter 9 The Next Choice
night.
Li Xu was not in a hurry to sleep.
No simulations have been done today.
the next simulation,
Li Xu has already chosen a direction.
Tomatoes, also known as tomatoes.
there are some plants,
Both the vegetable world and the fruit world.
One of the most representative is tomatoes.
Tomatoes can be eaten raw as a fruit or fried as a vegetable.
And tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and lycopene,
It is a nutritious and healthy daily vegetable.
Appeared on the dining table of restaurants and thousands of households.
Li Xu still clearly remembers the taste of tomatoes when he was a child:
Soft and glutinous and delicious, with sandy flesh inside, sweet and sour taste, and the juice overflows when you take a bite.
And when it is used to fry eggs, it is also necessary to pay attention to frying the tomatoes out of juice.
But when I grew up, the tomatoes I bought in the supermarket tasted very light, neither sour nor sweet, and the flesh was very hard, there was no juice, and there was no taste at all.
what on earth is it?
Obviously now has more advanced breeding technology and can cultivate better vegetables, but why are the cultivated tomatoes not as delicious as before?
Some people say that this is an illusion of everyone,
People's lives are getting better and better, and their tastes are getting more and more picky.
What I thought was delicious when I was a kid doesn't taste good now.
In a word: it is not the tomatoes that have changed, but you!
later,
Li Xu went to Agricultural University and learned professional knowledge.
Finally figured out why.
Are tomatoes really not as tasty as they used to be?
The answer is yes!
The Magic City Academy of Agricultural Sciences has specifically measured dozens of tomato varieties.
It was found that compared to traditional varieties,
Now the soluble sugar content of the tomato varieties grown in large numbers has been reduced by more than 10%, and the sugar-acid ratio has been reduced by more than 20%.
And the amount of geraniol, which makes tomatoes smell better, was also reduced.
That is,
Tomatoes are not as tasty as they used to be.
It's not people's illusion,
but objective facts!
Although traditional tomatoes taste better,
But as a commodity, conventional tomatoes have some glaring flaws:
They are not good for storage and will rot and spoil a few days after picking;
The leather is very soft and can be easily damaged during transportation;
Traditional varieties are small in size, irregular in shape, and low in appearance;
The disease resistance is relatively poor. Once a disease is encountered, it is likely that all of them will be infected, resulting in no harvest.
Modern breeding techniques will improve varieties for the above-mentioned defects,
to better meet the needs of the market.
And these improvements will more or less sacrifice taste,
For example, in order to reduce bumps during transportation, growers will directly choose varieties with higher hardness.
Another example,
Tomatoes have a genetic point that promotes the formation of chloroplasts, which convert more sugars,
But it also gives the tomatoes an uneven turquoise color on the surface.
In order to make the surface of the tomatoes show a whole body pink,
have a high appearance,
Breeders will remove this gene point, and the tomatoes will be less sweet.
all in all,
Tomatoes are not as tasty as they used to be, and they are the choice of the market.
anyway,
Does this choice have to be the right one?
Are there tomatoes that have both properties?
It is delicious and sweet, and can be stored for a long time, which is conducive to transportation, and is not afraid of pests and diseases. It is higher than the appearance?
It can't be done with current technology.
But no one else can do it,
Li Xu has [Seed Simulator] that can do it.
What he's thinking about now is,
Which direction to choose.
Is it to make the tomatoes delicious on the basis of the current hardness?
Or keep the advantages of traditional varieties and make them easier to store and transport?
Tomatoes are more common than cabbage.
Should the interests of vegetable farmers and related industries be considered?
What if the changes are too big, touch their interests, and even make some farmers who grow tomatoes lose their income?
Li Xu thought of a headache.
Finally figured it out.
The existence of [Seed Simulator] is a technology that defies the sky.
This technology is used to change the world.
Just change
It will touch a part of the interests and make the resources reallocated.
Is it because of labor pains that there will be no reform?
Since we want to simulate tomatoes,
Just do the best you can.
Or follow the idea of small cabbage,
Let tomatoes enter thousands of households.
So that everyone can re-taste the taste of childhood tomatoes.
After tomatoes became more popular,
Cheap,
eat it as you please,
It is also of great help to the health of the people.
Tomatoes contain a large amount of functional nutrients such as vitamins, lycopene, niacin, riboflavin, and retinol.
The unit content of vitamin A is much higher than that of fruits such as watermelon and kiwi, as well as meat products such as cattle and sheep.
Tomatoes can be grown by seed or by transplanting.
There are farmers who grow tomatoes, 90% of the seeds are purchased.
There are also many direct purchase of seedlings.
The cost of seedlings is relatively high.
If seeds cost 1,000 yuan per mu,
Buying seedlings may cost several thousand yuan per mu.
In the afternoon when I was doing the documentation,
Li Xu bought some tomato seeds in the city.
Planting technology, there are soil cultivation and hydroponics.
The hydroponic cultivation of tomatoes is very mature,
Some large-scale greenhouses use hydroponic technology to grow tomatoes.
Therefore, when the hydroponic tomatoes are simulated, the start should be smooth.
and also,
Whether it is the growth cycle or the nutrients needed,
Growing tomatoes are far from comparable to cabbage.
If you don't use the nutrient solution, you can keep simulating, and you can also produce delicious tomatoes.
But it will be very time consuming.
To save time, Li Xu intends to use a nutrient solution.
He happened to have nutrient solution at home,
meet the conditions of the simulation.
