Chapter 1012 Dragon Bone
Let’s put aside the question of how Gao Zhendong got these potatoes. For Comrades Lao Zhang and Lao Li, the next thing will be easy.

"Plant! This potato must be planted well!" Old Li said firmly, contrary to his hesitant nature.

Apart from other things, the taste alone is worth studying. As long as the yield per mu is not low, this potato is more worthy of planting than other potatoes, and it is even excellent as a breeding material.

Although potatoes are grown using asexual reproduction, it does not mean that the population will not degenerate. Breeding and maintaining the activity of the population are still very necessary.

"Old Li, let's make two copies of that planting request. The original must be kept well and not lost." Old Zhang thought at this time, maybe some comrades are really doing cultivation experiments? Breeding is impossible, this is not the way to breed.

Anyway, no matter what, even if we grow them for food, if we grow them well and keep a few as hard work fee, the comrades above will not have any objections, right?

"Xiao Wang, eat, eat, have you eaten enough? If you have, go and measure your nutritional indicators." Lao Zhang urged, as if he remembered something.

"Okay, don't worry, wait until I finish eating this." Xiao Wang smiled and was not in a hurry. He knew that Teacher Zhang was just like that. He took half a potato and ate it happily. This potato is really delicious, but it's a pity that it will definitely not be eaten in a short time.

Two hours later, in this simple laboratory of Caohai County Agricultural Science Station.

"Baby! Baby!"

Starch content 14%, protein 2.45%, vitamin C 16mg/100g...

It is said that potatoes are the second most essential nutrients for the human body among grains. The first is quinoa. Quinoa contains more fat than potatoes, but quinoa tastes less good than potatoes.

Anyway, now Lao Zhang and Lao Li are looking at the test reports in their hands, their hands are shaking!
These figures are much higher than the varieties they currently have, and can be said to be a qualitative leap. If this variety is really grown well, it will be good news for the local people.

"Old Li, we will set up a shed next to the farmer's house. We will need at least two people living in it and keep one person awake. There are not many potatoes in this bag, so nothing can go wrong." When he said this, he felt a little sorry for the two potatoes he had just eaten.

The temperature in Caohai in February was not pleasant, and it was cold and humid, and the perceived temperature was even worse, but Lao Zhang could no longer care about that. The land in Qianshan was precious, and the same was true in Caohai County. They did not have any experimental fields, and the comrades above said in the letter that the funds for this batch of potatoes would be guaranteed by the upper level, and they would cooperate with the farmers to plant them.

Although there won't be such a weird thing as the livestock graduate eating the agricultural and forestry graduate, but as long as it's food, we have to be more careful these days, after all, not all people are so conscious.

Looking at the big bag that was half a person's height, Lao Li didn't know what to say to Lao Zhang for a moment. This is a bit too exaggerated.

But it’s right to keep a close eye on it. If you don’t, this small amount of planting will be gone in an hour.

"Okay, Xiao Wang, you two should get ready in the next two days and go to the farmer's field to build a shed. When the time comes and the seeds are ready, we will move in!"

The planting requirements have clear requirements for planting time and temperature, and they don’t want to make any mistakes now.

In Songjiang, near the mouth of the Longjiang River, there is a tributary that is considered to be the latest to flow into the Longjiang River. Right at the confluence of this tributary, in a shipyard decorated with lights and colors, a simple yet grand ceremony is taking place.

——“Type 62 Frigate Keel Laying Ceremony”.

A banner was hung on a crane beside the dock. Outside the dock, the yellow water of the Huangpu River was creating slight waves.

If Gao Zhendong were here, his head would probably be buzzing and completely confused.

62? Isn’t 62 an artillery frigate?

Frigate? Wasn't the frigate built in 65? Even if it was built, it was only one year earlier.

It's a mess, it's a mess.

However, he probably likes this kind of chaos. The artillery frigates have been completed long ago and are no longer named Type 62. The frigates were built several years ahead of time, and they are always faster.

Although it is already 63 years, there is no problem with this ship being called Type 62. Before the keel is laid, steel plates need to be cut. This work started as early as last year, not to mention the design time, which was even earlier.

This ceremony was kept simple, with workers representing the workers, a banner was hung directly at the construction site, and everyone was present. With a loud speaker, the ceremony was considered complete. Several leaders from the Maritime Equipment Bureau, the Shipbuilding Institute, and Songjiang Shipyard stood by the dock, looking at the busy work site with a happy mood.

"You are making very fast progress on this ship." The comrade from the Naval Equipment Bureau smiled at the comrades from the Shipbuilding Institute.

"This ship is in good condition, but it still can't go faster. That means there is something wrong with us." The comrades from the Shipbuilding Institute did not take credit for themselves.

The hull was modified based on the earliest domestically-produced destroyer Type 01, so its speed is naturally very fast.

“But we didn’t expect that you could solve the power problem so quickly.” The comrade from the Naval Equipment Bureau laughed.

According to the original historical progress, not only was the ship built in 65, but the engine had not yet achieved the desired quality, resulting in the ship's maximum speed being only around 22 knots.

"We obtained the help of Comrade East Hans through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Foreign Affairs Department. In addition, we also purchased some technology from the Gauls. Although it is still a little insufficient, we have at least increased the speed to 26-27 knots." As one of the technical leaders in the camp, although East Hans' technology is slightly inferior to the western half, their technology is still worth learning from.

"That's enough, that's enough. The current combat style is different from the previous pure artillery battle. Speed ​​is important, but it is not the most important thing for us to take a defensive position in the ocean. Anyway, we can't outrun missiles, so endurance is more important than that." Anyway, there are no aircraft carriers and no need to keep up with the aircraft carrier formation that uses deck wind to launch aircraft. 27 knots is definitely enough.

"The endurance of this ship is still acceptable, 3800 nautical miles/16 knots, which should be enough for you. And based on the experience of previous meetings, we have made some adjustments to the seaworthiness, self-sustaining capacity and comfort in the increased tonnage. The self-sustaining capacity can reach more than 15 days. Compared with the 01-day self-sustaining capacity of 10, it has made great progress."

"Well, very good. We have to thank you for this. I didn't expect you to achieve such good self-sustaining indicators and endurance on a ship with a full load of less than 1400 tons."

"Hahaha, we have to thank the comrades who are working on weapons. Compared with two triple-mounted Zhengxian-4 anti-ship missile launchers, two quad-mounted Zhengxian-62 missile launchers have been optimized and saved a lot in terms of weight, volume and floor space. We have a lot of room for control when designing and deploying them."

When it comes to the weapons of this ship, the comrades from the Naval Equipment Bureau are extremely happy.

In fact, at first glance, the weapons of this ship are probably just a copy + enhancement of the large missile frigate, but when these enhancements are accumulated together, their meaning is different.

The 2*4-mounted Zhengxian-62 solid-fuel anti-ship missile has a range of 50 kilometers. The reason why it can only hit 50 kilometers is because of the radar, not the missile.

而1*8联装用雷电-3红外空空导弹改装的“海旌旗-62”近程防空导弹，能打击3000米以下，6公里以内的亚音速飞行器。

Although many aircraft today are said to be able to fly supersonic, in reality they cannot exceed the speed of sound when launching an attack. The HAIJINGQI-62, which has head-on strike capability, has a range and performance that is more than sufficient for self-defense, especially when the biggest enemy has no anti-ship missiles at sea.

They can even provide a little air defense cover for small boats. Whether it is regional or not depends mainly on the enemy's capabilities. The distance definition of regional air defense capability is constantly changing. In this regard, although the Haijingqi-62 has a short range, because it uses fire-and-forget infrared air defense missiles, combined with the little multi-target engagement capability brought by the radar system, it actually has a little bit of mini regional air defense meaning.

These main weapons made the comrades in the Naval Equipment Bureau very satisfied, so the artillery configuration of this ship was different from that of the second type of frigate in history.

100毫米单管主炮从3门变2门，37毫米双管副炮从4座变2座，其他武器倒是没有什么变化，反潜依然拉满。

250毫米火箭深弹5管发射器*2、432毫米6管火箭深弹发射器*4、2条深水炸弹水雷投掷轨。

But there is a small difference: this boat is equipped with towed sonar! This thing was bought from the Russians. Hydroacoustic equipment is still a problem for us, so it is natural to buy some. To be honest, it is good to have a place to sell it.

There are no torpedoes, but jamming bomb launchers are standard. In addition, it is also equipped with electronic warfare equipment newly developed by comrades from the Institute of Ship Electronic Equipment, which can interfere with the enemy's radar and anti-ship missiles to a certain extent.

People haven't thought of this yet these days. These devices can fully enjoy the first-mover advantage. No matter whether they are easy to use or not, having them and not having them are two completely different states.

Not to mention that Gao Zhendong also gave many good suggestions to his comrades at the Ship Electronics Research Institute. With these experiences and theories from decades later, these electronic warfare systems can be said to have an extremely high starting point. At worst, we can just work hard to create miracles. Don't forget that we already have high-precision phase-locked loops and traveling wave tubes. There are still certain ways to accurately control the frequency.

Thinking of this, the comrade from the Shipbuilding Bureau was so happy that he smiled widely. He turned to the comrades from the shipyard and asked, "Are there any problems with your production?"

"Absolutely not. There is an adequate supply of various steel materials. The rest can be left to us. We have experience in building the Type 01 frigate, so you can leave this new missile frigate based on it to us. We will ensure that it is completed on time with guaranteed quality and quantity."
