I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 333 Bioenergy Technology
Liu Fei was thinking about spending money.

"Dong dong!"

"Mr. Liu, your students Zhang Tao and Jiang Fan are here."

There was a knock on the office door.

"Let them in."

When Liu Fei heard this, he thought about it carefully. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. His two students should have gone on winter vacation long ago. They haven't gone back yet?

Soon, Zhang Tao and Jiang Fan came to Liu Fei's office. Their faces were tired, their eyes were red, their hair was greasy, and their beards were unkempt. It was obvious from a glance that they must have been in the laboratory for a long time.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You should also give yourself a holiday, rest, rest, and spend more time with your family."

Liu Fei knew the situation as soon as he saw their faces, so he smiled and persuaded them to go home early and rest.

"Brother Fei!"

"We and Qiao Dan are stumped by a problem. If we don't solve it, we always feel like it's stuck in our throats and it's very uncomfortable."

"Obviously we are very close to success, but we always fail. We just thought that we must complete this project before the New Year and then go back to celebrate the New Year, otherwise we will not have any mood during the New Year."

Zhang Tao said quickly.

"Yes, Brother Fei."

"You are also engaged in research, and you also know that if this problem is not solved, we will not be in the mood to celebrate the New Year at all."

Jiang Fan nodded and said.

They came to see Liu Fei this time because they wanted Liu Fei to help give some guidance and see where the problem was with their research.

"Tell me, what are you studying?"

"What kind of problems do you have?"

Liu Fei smiled, this is indeed the case for researchers.

Many times, what bothers you about a problem is that you just don’t think about it. You will keep thinking about it in your mind until you solve the problem.

There is a kind of stubbornness. If you are stubborn, you must understand it before you feel comfortable.

"Brother Fei!"

"The three of us have been studying bioenergy since half a year ago."

When Zhang Tao and Jiang Fan heard this, they immediately took out the information they had prepared and started talking to Liu Fei.

"Bioenergy?"

“Which bioenergy?”

When Liu Fei heard this, he was also interested.

Bioenergy is an important branch of biotechnology.

Liu Fei completed Main Task 8 and obtained Level 1 Biotechnology, which has an extremely detailed introduction to the many branches of biotechnology.

Biotechnology can be roughly divided into several major fields such as bioagriculture, biomedicine, gene editing, and bioenergy.

Of course, there is no clear boundary between these fields, and they are even closely related to each other. For example, gene editing technology can be widely used in the fields of bioagriculture, bioenergy, and biomedicine.

The branches of biotechnology actually mainly refer to branches of application, not technical branches.

Bioenergy is also a very important field.

The use of biotechnology to produce and manufacture energy, such as bioethanol, biogas, biopetroleum, etc., is also very promising if this area develops.

"We have been severely suppressed this year, not only on our exports but also on our imports, strangulating our energy resources."

"The three of us felt very angry after seeing it, so we thought about using gene editing technology to develop plants that can produce oil to solve the energy problem so that people can't choke us."

Jiang Fan and Liu Fei talked about the original intention of their research.

What they call 'plants that can produce oil' can be called energy plants.

The so-called energy plants refer to those plants that directly convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen-free hydrocarbons through photosynthesis. The chemical composition of the juice or extract secreted by such plants is similar to the chemical composition of petroleum, so they are also called energy plants. Called oil plant.

And because most of these plants are woody plants, they are also called "energy trees".

Research on energy plants has actually started very early. As early as the last century, a large number of scientists and laboratories were studying this. Because the price of oil at that time was very expensive, and it was always emphasized that oil was a non-renewable resource, so there was Very broad market prospects.

Many scientists have even discovered varieties such as pittosporum, champagne tree, nan tree, sago coconut, Brazilian rubber tree, nan tree, etc. The sap and fruits of these plants can be used to extract oil. It can even be used directly as fuel.

In fact, the formation of oil, coal, and natural gas is essentially related to biology. It is the compression of ancient organic matter over a long period of time and gradually formed in the geological environment of high temperature and high pressure.

Essentially they are all the same, there is no difference.

“This is a great research project.”

Liu Fei expressed his affirmation of their idea.

If there is a breakthrough in bioenergy technology, it can actually break the dependence on oil and coal and turn non-renewable resources into renewable resources.

By then, as long as we have the technology in hand, it won’t matter what kind of oil field we have or not.

"The three of us use the genes of sago coconut, nan tree, pittosporum, bamboo and other plants, and use gene editing technology to develop a super oil coconut."

"What we envision is this super oily coconut. The coconut on it will slowly produce bio-oil that is comparable to gasoline and diesel. This oil can be directly used for automobile fuel and can also be used in the chemical industry."

"And in order for it to grow quickly, we added some bamboo genes into it. In addition, considering that plants also produce vegetable oil through photosynthesis, we thought that the northwest region is relatively arid and has a lot of desert areas, so we Drought-tolerant and cold-resistant genes have been added to it.”

Jiang Fan continued.

"The result is that you have never been able to develop a satisfactory product?"

"Although gene editing technology is powerful, it cannot be combined randomly. It still needs to follow certain biological laws." "The edited gene must be stable and able to form a whole. Otherwise, the gene will collapse, no matter how well designed it is. use."

"My opinion is that you can first select a plant as the base, such as sago coconut, and then slowly try to add some other genes on this basis."

"Eat the meal one bite at a time, and walk the road step by step. Don't think about gathering all the advantages you want at once."

“First focus on one direction, such as oil production, and then gradually improve other aspects.”

When Liu Fei heard this, he immediately knew what the problem was.

They are biting off more than they can chew at once.

"Brother Fei, didn't you say that technology makes the impossible possible, making it faster, easier and more cost-effective?"

When Zhang Tao heard this, he immediately curled his lips and said.

"That's right, we just want to design an energy tree with large oil production, good oil quality, fast growth rate, and wide adaptability to a wide range of areas."

"Humph!"

"If we want to use energy to choke our necks, after our super energy tree is developed, we will not only not have to import oil, but also export bio-oil in reverse."

"If we don't have necks, they can't choke us!"

Jiang Fan also nodded.

"Then we have to do it step by step."

"You haven't even learned to walk yet, how could you just start running?"

"The research topic is very good, but it needs to be done step by step."

"My suggestion is that you go back to celebrate the New Year now and take a good rest at home."

"Spend more time with your parents. There are many things in this world that are actually more important than research. Don't wait until you want to support your children but your parents are no longer around."

"Besides, you guys are now grown up, isn't it time to have a girlfriend?"

Liu Fei smiled, and then became concerned about the lifelong events of the three of them.

Zhang Tao, Qiao Dan, and Jiang Fan are all geniuses. They completed their college studies early and are now pursuing graduate studies. All three of them are ascetic researchers and don't even have girlfriends.

"Brother Fei, where do we have time to talk about my girlfriend?"

"That's right, what's the point of having a girlfriend? You waste time talking about love every day, and you also have to watch movies and go shopping. What a waste of time and youth."

The two said in tandem.

"Love and career can go together."

"You are in the prime of your youth. You need to study, but when it's time to fall in love, you should fall in love."

"How about, I'll have someone look for you later and introduce them to you."

"With the way you three look like this, if I don't introduce you, I guess you may not get married by the time you are in your thirties or forties."

"What a headache!"

Liu Fei touched his head. As a teacher, he still had to find a way to introduce a girlfriend to his students.

Find them among the new girls in your company?

Or should Wang Qianyun pay attention to it and introduce it to them?
"Brother Fei, no, no, we don't want to fall in love now!"

Zhang Tao and Jiang Fan shook their heads together.

Are you kidding me?
What's the point of being a woman? Can it be compared with doing research?
Women are such troublesome creatures.

Looking at my classmates, many people complain that spending time with their girlfriends is tiring, boring, and a waste of time.

He also said that his girlfriend always has a bad temper and gets into quarrels at every turn.

Just thinking about it makes my head feel big.

"Haha, whatever you want!"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'll give you some red envelopes."

"This belongs to Qiao Dan, take it to him later."

"In addition, when you go back, go to Zhang Li in my office and ask her to get some New Year gifts to take back to your parents."

Liu Fei smiled, then took out 15 yuan in cash from the safe and gave each of the three of them a New Year's red envelope worth 5 yuan.

"Brother Fei, we are not short of money now."

When Zhang Tao saw it, he quickly shook his head and said.

The three of them are really not short of money now. They work at Feiyun Technology while studying, with an annual salary of more than 200 million, and year-end bonuses and so on.

In addition, they also have a lot of scientific research results, which have either been bought by Feiyun Technology, or they have established a company in partnership with Feiyun University of Science and Technology.

The shares of Fantaodan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. alone make them worth several billion, and they will be the durian kings in the future. They really are not short of money.

"I know you are not short of money, and I am not short of money either!"

"The main reason is that as your teacher, I still need to express myself appropriately during the New Year celebrations."

"Take them all and go home as soon as you are done. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You have to put everything aside and spend more time with your family."

Liu Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, he's not short of money, right? By coincidence, I'm not short of money either.
