After a 23-day “moon trip” of 760,000 kilometers, it returned to the National Plant Aerospace Breeding Engineering Center for planting. After more than a year of cultivation, scientific researchers have successfully transplanted “space rice” from the greenhouse to outdoor experimental fields. At Huacheng Farm, visitors can truly feel the “magical power” of technology empowering the modern seed industry.
