silent farm

Chapter 208 Touched the new window that shocked the world

No country can live without staple food.The United States is a fast food society, even the president often eats hamburgers.But there is no flour where they have hamburgers?

As far as the current situation is concerned, unless the United States solves the X virus, it can only accept Li Sheng's bundled sales.

But how easy is it to solve the X virus? The X virus has been around for almost two years, but the more scientists study, the more virus variants become.The problem of wheat has not been solved yet, and rice is also threatened.If the production of these two staple foods is reduced on a large scale due to the virus, the world does not know how many people will starve to death.

Even the United States is no exception. Unless their cattle can satisfy everyone's stomach, someone will starve to death.

It is precisely in this aspect that Li Sheng intends to strangle the necks of those three countries.

They are talking.Lu Feifei, Chen Bo's secretary, walked in with a document: "Mr. Chen, there is news from the chicken plate. Songqi Agricultural Co., Ltd. announced that it will provide technical support for matsutake artificial cultivation to all chicken plate citizens."

Chen Bo stood up and walked quickly over to take the document and read it.After reading it, with a serious face, he said to Lu Feifei, "You go out first."

After Lu Feifei went out and closed the door, he also sat back down again.After a brief look, he handed the document to Li Sheng.

After Li Sheng read it, his face was neither angry nor happy, and he handed the document to Luo Zheng.

Chen Bo said: "They want to buy culture medium to make money!"

"Is it because we put too much pressure on you?" Luo Zheng quickly finished reading the document and raised his head. "If they do this, the price of our matsutake can only be suppressed. Is there still money to be made?" He asked Li Sheng the last sentence.Because only Li Sheng knew the production cost of matsutake in Silent Farm.

Li Sheng shook his head and said: "The price may drop in a short period of time. But we can't drop too much. Now they have announced the technology, but we haven't. I don't plan to make it public either. I can adjust the output of the farm."

"But if they do that, they will take away the domestic market that they have managed to win in minutes." Luo Zheng said with a frown.

"Don't worry." Li Sheng heard that the scent and taste of the matsutake they cultivated was not as good as wild ones, so he guessed that they had analyzed the formula of the culture medium, and there was no way to cultivate real matsutake.Perhaps this time the space lake played a key role again.

His medium is actually very simple, it is made by mixing algae, pasture and soil from matsutake production areas in the space.Whether it is macroalgae or pasture, they are all planted using the space lake water, and the space lake water is also used in the cultivation workshop.Perhaps the farm can cultivate better matsutake than wild matsutake, and the space lake water is the main contributor.

Although he was not sure, Li Sheng felt that since the quality of matsutake cultivated by the chicken plate was far inferior to that of Silent Farm, why should he lower the price.If the chicken plate matsutake really seizes the domestic market, they can only seize the low-end market.It is enough for Silent Farm to occupy the high-end market.

Hearing what Li Sheng said, although Chen Bo and Luo Zheng were still worried, they could only listen to Li Sheng.

Because he wanted to send the wheat to the country as soon as possible, Li Sheng was worried that something might go wrong, so he didn't stay in the country for too long.After signing the cooperation agreement, I rushed to the farm the next day.

He returned to the farm, got off the plane and did not go back to the villa, but went straight to the management area of ​​the South District, found Babur and asked how the preparations for Sinotrans Wheat were going.

Babur was a little surprised that he was so nervous about this wheat export sale, but he still said truthfully: "In four days, we have shipped [-] tons. The warehouse in Belem has also been rented. Mosu's side is handling export procedures."

Li Sheng got all the information from his three sentences.An average of 12 tons of wheat is shipped a day, which is too slow. It will take two months for [-] tons to be shipped out.This can't keep up with his plan.

Belén has to unload the goods and put them in the warehouse first, which also poses a hidden danger to his plan.

"Did Mo Su say how long it will take to complete the procedures?" Li Sheng is a farmer, and he can only entrust a company with a business license to handle the import and export procedures.

"It should be done within a week."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Can the shipping speed be faster? It would be better to double the speed." He was worried that things would change over time.The sooner the wheat is sent to Huaxia, the better.

Babur thought for a while and said, "There are not enough workers. That means sacrificing the speed of pasture transportation. In addition, workers have to work overtime."

"Recently let workers work overtime. Overtime pay is doubled. In addition, some temporary workers can be hired."

Babur has a very valuable character, that is, he never asks why unless others tell him.He nodded and said, "I'll talk to Thomas about it." Hiring temps was easy.In the nearby towns, there are many people waiting for work.

"Be careful." Li Sheng added one last point.

After leaving Babur, Li Sheng went to the laboratory again.Seeing a security team member on duty at the laboratory gate, he greeted him and went in.This time he was not afraid of trouble, changed his clothes and shoes, sanitized them, and went in to find Feng Xiaoting.

Looking from the outside, the area of ​​the laboratory is not very large, only [-] square meters on the first floor.But it's not easy to find someone inside.He had to make a phone call to find Feng Xiaoting.

Feng Xiaoting saw that it was him, and took him to a room decorated like an office, with a bed inside.This is Feng Xiaoting's rest room.

"Please sit down." Feng Xiaoting closed the door and turned on the exhaust fan, and took a long time to make tea. "Mr. Li, what do you want me to do?"

Li Sheng looked into his eyes and asked, "I want to know if the experimental data here is safe?"

"There is no way of absolute secrecy. But now Zhang Dingbian has sent ten security personnel to protect the laboratory 24 hours a day. All laboratories and corridors are equipped with monitors. There are special personnel to monitor. In addition, the computer where I store data also has three floors. encryption."

Only then did Li Sheng nodded and said, "That's good." He paused and said. "I went to Huaxia this time. I signed an agreement with them. I will cooperate with them to produce the first generation of seeds in the future. Some data needs to be shared with them. You prepare."

"Okay." Feng Xiaoting is actually what some people call a banana man. He immigrated to the United States from his grandfather's generation.To him, the word Huaxia just represents a certain country in the world.But he also doesn’t see the United States as his motherland.So Li Sheng wants to cooperate with that country, as long as his research results can be transformed, it is the same for him.

Li Sheng looked at him and said, "I hope you can keep these studies secret. I know that if the results of this study will make you famous, but that is not in my interest. As compensation, I will learn from my 10% of the benefits from the cooperation will be given to you.”

Feng Xiaoting was not dissatisfied with this, nodded and said: "Actually, my role in this research is not very great. I just analyzed the results. The most important thing is that the source of wheat on the farm is good enough. I didn't invent it. Just found out."

If it was before, maybe he would have made a condition for him and his sister to leave Silent Farm.But now he has no such idea.In Silent Farm, he has room to play.Besides, his sister Feng Xiaorong is already a couple with Cao Mo, and he has no intention of breaking them up.

Seeing that the communication between the two parties went so smoothly, Li Sheng was also in a good mood: "Last time you said that Rice is also doing experiments. How is the progress?"

"It will take a week to get the results." Feng Xiaoting estimated. "I took some first-generation seeds, compared with the original species, and compared the water and soil on the farm with the water and soil outside. If the experimental results can achieve the predetermined results, it is considered certain."

Feng Xiaoting should have received training in secrecy, even in his lounge, he still speaks in words that are vague to others but only understood by the person concerned.He was worried about bugs or something.

Li Sheng did not think in this direction: "If it is also immune, I may also use it to cooperate with that side. You get the results as soon as possible. It is best to complete the research on the second generation Zishi as soon as possible."

"I understand." Feng Xiaoting thought for a while and reminded Li Sheng. "If Mr. Li wants to keep it secret, it's best to keep the original species by himself. Only take it out after processing it when needed."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I understand."

Feng Xiaoting's reminder is not unfounded.He is now worried that the original wheat seed of the farm will be leaked out.In fact, the rice that is still being harvested can be regarded as the original species.Because it was planted without any treatment.

Now he has a much stronger awareness of the protection of provenance.He thought for a while and said, "I still have a kind of original sesame seed here, and I plan to plant three crops in the future. You can see if you can treat this sesame seed as well."

"Sesame? It may take some time. It is different from rice and wheat. It is a plant of a different family, and it needs to be treated with chemicals."

"It's okay to take your time. By the way, what are you mainly studying now?"

"Comparison of the genetic segment of the X virus." Feng Xiaoting said something that Li Sheng couldn't understand. "Not much progress."

"What's the use of studying that thing?"

"You can find the core gene segment of the X virus. The core gene segment of the cell, each gene chain is unique and unique, and it is the only segment that will not change in any way. Once this gene segment changes, life will end or mutate It has to be said that Feng Xiaoting was still very calm.Even if the topic is the topic he is most proficient in and most interested in, he only talks about it in a bland manner. "As long as we find this gene segment, we can use it as a target gene and study ways to kill it."

"It doesn't seem to be good for us to study this." Now the wheat and rice in Silent Farm may be immune to X virus.If a way to deal with the X virus is found, it will only do harm to Li Sheng, not good.

Feng Xiaoting looked at him for a day and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to study how to deal with the X virus. In fact, it was only during this period that I had a vague idea of ​​the core gene fragment. From the wheat cells on our farm, there seems to be a way A defense system that can target the core gene fragments of the virus. The research on the X virus is because I have learned more about this virus recently, and I don’t want to target this virus. If we can find a way to determine the core gene fragments, we can treat any kind of virus in the future. DNA cells are inactivated without endangering other cells."

Hearing what he said was logical, Li Sheng didn't think deeply about it, and said, "Since you want to do research in this area, then do it."

"I need some assistants!" Feng Xiaoting was so confident that he was a little conceited.But in any case he is only one person.Doing biological experiments requires a lot of time for experimentation and analysis, and he can't do it alone.I also said before that the research is not too deep, and many things can be helped by factory workers.He just did some comparisons and analysis.

But this time, the subject he set was to conduct real molecular biology experiments, and to study biological genes.These things are impossible for the workers on the farm to help, and the experimental workload is also great.If he is still alone, even if he is powerful, he will not be able to keep busy.

Li Sheng really felt that Feng Xiaoting was a rare high-tech talent, at least for Silent Farm.For such a person, of course he must seriously consider the request made.

He thought for a while and said, "Yes. But I will find someone from Huaxia. Of course, I need your approval."

"Okay." Feng Xiaoting only needs to be able to complete the experimental tasks he gave to the experimental assistants, and the people from that country are not important at all. "In addition, this experiment needs at least hundreds of millions of dollars. And it may not necessarily produce benefits."

Li Sheng thought about it, and decided to take the money: "I'll let Thomas keep the budget." As for whether there will be any profit in the end, it can only be a gamble.Investment is risky.At least the laboratory invested [-] million before, and he never thought that these results would be produced now.
