Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 591 Psychological preparation
This is indeed the biggest problem at present, and everyone agrees. However, at this moment, Lin Chen was still in the laboratory racing against time to carry out the final cultivation work.

Currently, many flowerpots in the laboratory have sprouted seedlings cultivated through hydroponics.

"Great! With these things, we won't have to worry anymore."

Although the problem remains serious, Lin Chen knows that under these circumstances, he must go all out and be in his best condition to solve all the problems.

Therefore, he has made full mental preparations and must not let the people behind him down. This is his most desired goal at present.

"If I can successfully cultivate these seedlings, I can contribute a new crop to the country's agricultural development. After all, this crop is very effective and is also an economic crop."

Lin Chen was increasingly excited; at least in this respect, he had achieved a stage of success. Just as he stepped out of the lab, he discovered that Li Xue had arrived with everyone.

"You've come at just the right time. Let me show you my latest achievement. These are the new seedlings I've cultivated. If this succeeds, we'll be able to develop a new cash crop."

Huang Chen was greatly surprised.

"You actually managed to cultivate this thing."

"Of course, it took me a lot of effort to do this. Take a look and you'll understand what happened."

They walked straight to the experimental fields, and were all stunned. This truly overturned their understanding; it was something that had actually happened.

"If these things could be promoted and planted nationwide, the results would definitely be great. Moreover, many people in China now know how that ocean garbage continent disappeared."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Could it really have been you?"

"Who else could it be but me? Think about it carefully, up until now, only I have such ability."

Unexpectedly, he created something with industrial potential in such a short time. Moreover, as long as the follow-up work goes smoothly, there's nothing to worry about.

"All we need to do next is develop a purification machine, because these plants can only be truly used by humans after being purified."

And just like that, the situation quietly changed.

Lin Chen quickly took his research findings and went to find Fang Weihai.

"You mean you hope I can act as a go-between so you can have a proper talk with the leader, right? Actually, you can do it yourself. Don't you know Academician Su?"

"One is the country's chief scientist, and the other is you. Who do you think I would choose? Besides, our abilities are about the same, and I'm definitely more familiar with you."

Lin Chen knew in his heart that no one but him could help with this matter.

Upon hearing this, Fang Weihai burst into laughter.

"I was just kidding you, come with me."

In fact, the leader had been eagerly anticipating new achievements. He was genuinely surprised to see Lin Chen.

"Is this the only industry that's emerging? If so, will our farmers be able to try planting new crops?"

"That's right! Moreover, this cash crop has a great advantage: it can be grown anywhere. I believe this industry will become more and more prosperous."

The leader understood, but then a crucial question suddenly occurred to him.

"Will this sell well?"

"Of course it will sell well! Once this product becomes an industry and people accept the environmentally friendly concept of biodegradability, many factories will definitely get involved, just like in the rubber industry."

Lin Chen understood that once farmers saw a market for this product, they would definitely prioritize planting it, which would mean that some countries' food supplies might no longer be within their consideration.

"Here's what I'm thinking: the country has a lot of farmland now and keeps encouraging its development and utilization. If we could develop all those barren mountains and use them to grow this crop, wouldn't that give farmers another way to increase their income?"

That's a good idea. This plant is resistant to harsh environments, and it would be wonderful if we could develop barren mountains to grow it.

"Moreover, according to my previous research, this cash crop can basically adapt to various environmental conditions."

The leader was very pleased to hear this.

"That's a good idea."

"There's something else I need to keep a secret. It's not the time to announce it yet. We need to do everything we can to keep it a secret, otherwise my story about degrading marine debris will become public knowledge."

"You mean, you decomposed the marine debris?"

Lin Chen nodded.

"Not only did I degrade the waste, but I also found ways to make this matter better, so there's no need to worry about anything going wrong."

"That's amazing."

The leader was clearly delighted to hear this. If this could truly be achieved, then anything said afterward would be superfluous.

"Anyway, that's roughly the situation. I hope everyone can give my thoughts a good consideration. If we can get this done smoothly, I believe our country can definitely improve the lives of many people in this field."

"Alright, let's get started then. Leave it to me. But before that, how to promote these crops is up to you."

"I know it well."

Lin Chen had his own plans.

However, these materials are also being studied intensively abroad, with the United States making the most progress.

Cordos and his team were working against the clock to study this field, but they were still using that so-called new solution.

And so, he came before the president with a new project in mind.

"Mr. President, we have developed a biodegradable method. Please take a look at this. If it succeeds, we can join the world's top tier."

The president took the documents with some skepticism, but was greatly shocked upon reading them. It turned out that their country solved the problem in two steps: first, degrading the materials, and then separating the harmful substances produced during degradation. In this way, as long as their machines were used, there would be no more problems.

"So we won't have to worry about these materials anymore. As long as waste treatment plants introduce our machines, they can carry out biodegradable processing of plastics."

After processing, the resulting substance is like drinkable water or various new materials.

"We are still continuing our research. It would be even more perfect if it could be directly transformed into a new material."

"Alright! Let's see what you get in return."

And so, they published a so-called paper all over the world with great fanfare, boasting about how amazing their results were.

However, there wasn't much of a reaction domestically. Apparently, a meeting had already been held domestically.

"Actually, in my opinion, this technology is not complicated. Although I am the owner of a factory that can repair anything, I think I am still qualified to express my opinion on this matter."

Lin Chen remained calm and composed in front of numerous experts.

"Mr. Lin, what we're most curious about is how you discovered this substance? You know, biodegradable waste has always been a global problem. To be honest, if you hadn't told us beforehand, we would have been completely in awe of the Americans."

At this point, everyone wore a bitter expression, because if this problem could not be solved, the consequences would be extremely serious.

"I understand your concerns, and I didn't say it was definitely true. But what I want to say is that we have successfully changed everyone's mindset. Think about it carefully: these things can degrade and become potable water directly. What does that mean? Our country has many arid areas, right?"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that if these plastics could be directly degraded into usable water, it could not only irrigate farmland, but also make the western region develop better and better.

"So my personal idea is that we can promote the planting of these crops all over the country, and at the same time build biodegradable processing enterprises in the Northwest region. In this way, we can solve all the problems."

However, some experts disagree.

“I think it’s fine to build such a processing plant with the power of the state, but we have a market economy, so private business owners can also participate.”

"Of course. In other words, our country's main task is to make the western region lush with pasture. Isn't that our current real goal?"

The reason is simple: everyone knows that there are vast deserts and sparse populations in the Northwest region, but the land there contains abundant resources.

If that area becomes a beautiful place with green hills and clear waters, and even some decent cities can be built there, it will be able to relocate many people there.

This new plan also aligns perfectly with the development strategy of Northwest China.

This can be seen as another industrial upgrade for the entire country.

Therefore, China immediately took action.

Lin Chen was overjoyed; he never expected that he would actually become a master in this area.

Of course, everything is difficult at the beginning. The first problem to solve is breeding, since only their company currently has the capability to do so.

Lin Chen had no choice but to return to the laboratory. The key issue now was how to get these seedlings out of the laboratory and achieve mass production.

He rarely walked into the office and looked at everyone.

“I heard that you started looking for a breeding base some time ago, right? Actually, I think it’s not difficult. Since this thing is not that picky about the environment, we don’t need to worry too much. We just need to find a piece of land where it can grow.”

But Li Xue was very worried.

"You need to understand that farmland absolutely cannot be touched. We can only use those abandoned industrial lands for waste utilization. However, this will be more costly, since we will have to ask people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to help transform the land."

This statement is somewhat surprising.

"Then let me ask you, after the land is renovated, will you continue to hire them to renovate it, or can we maintain it ourselves?"

Lin Chen calmly looked at Li Xue.

"They only need to transform the land to a level suitable for planting, and then we can handle the rest ourselves. We only need to ask the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for help if the land changes."

“Okay! It’s settled then. You choose an industrial site, and then invite people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to renovate it.”

So they acted quickly.

Li Xue and her team worked quickly to find a breeding base.

Lin Chen then used the remaining time to quickly combine the laboratory data with mass production, and he had to complete all these preparations before the breeding base was built.

"No matter what, this is our last chance. We have to get the last ticket no matter what."

Lin Chen was fully prepared.

Meanwhile, the situation abroad was quite different. Cordoba arrived at the office in the small white building with a finished product.

"Sir, look, this is our finished product. As long as we can make this, we won't have to worry anymore."

This is a new material.

"Look, this is a new type of plastic, and even if there are problems, it can degrade again."

The leader was very pleased when he saw it.

"You're really something. With these things, I'd like to see how they can possibly cope."

Finally, in front of everyone, the leader announced some exciting good news.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've invited you all here today to announce some good news. For a long time, the outside world has always thought that our country is 'doing sabotage,' but this time, we have successfully developed the world's first machine that can degrade plastic."

Upon hearing this, journalists around the world stared in astonishment. They never expected that a country that had been criticized as a "harmful force" would undergo such a positive transformation at a crucial moment. This was no joke.

"Actually, we have always hoped that this matter could proceed smoothly, but there were a lot of unpleasant little episodes in the process, which made us very worried. But now it's all good, we have successfully reversed the situation, and this time, our country is once again at the forefront."

As he spoke, the leader demonstrated the machine to everyone and even produced a new material on the spot. Everyone was stunned by this.

"This material is recyclable, and we have achieved the ultimate in biodegradability. In the future, if anyone needs new materials for clean energy, please come to our country; the price will be absolutely affordable."

Following this announcement, the country's domestic approval rating surged. A leader who had previously been seen as a "scourge to the world" and instead focused on promoting new products is undoubtedly the best way to boost domestic demand.

However, this news sparked heated discussions among netizens in China.

"What are our country's scientists doing? How come such an excellent team has gotten ahead of us in this field?"

"I don't know either. Is there something our country is hiding in this regard? Or do we already have this technology but just haven't made it public?"

"I don't understand. I've heard that there's a group of mysterious scientists working hard in our country, but I don't know what they're busy with."

……

This incident has indeed had a significant impact on everyone, but to others, it seems like there's nothing to worry about.

"Alright then, let's keep working towards this goal, and maybe we'll get a good result."

Since that's the case, let's leave it at that for now.

As a result, this biodegradable plastic machine quickly became a trending topic, and the United States once again dominated the headlines on major online platforms thanks to this opportunity.
