silent farm

Chapter 216 Plan ahead
Feng Xiaoting's simple and easy-to-understand explanation finally made Li Sheng understand how promising his research would be if it was successful.

He was stunned for a long time before jokingly said: "If the research can produce results, then the Nobel Prize will definitely not escape. Or you can transfer back to the Chinese nationality."

Feng Xiaoting was about to speak.Li Sheng became serious: "Since this research is so important, just mention it if you need anything, whether it is to expand the laboratory or increase research funding. I will give whatever is needed. But the research results are mine."

Feng Xiaoting reminded him: "Huaxia also wants to share! I think they should want to account for 50% of it."

Li Sheng frowned and said, "It can be shared. But they can only account for 40% at most. You account for 5% of the patent?"

"I'm OK."

"Okay. We'll sign the contract right away."

"I need a lot of wheat malt and rice sprouts."

"No problem! I'll get someone to prepare."

"Additional funding may be required in the future."

"There is no problem, just ask as much as you want."

Feng Xiaoting was very satisfied with Li Sheng's straightforwardness, and he was about to leave.Li Sheng stopped him, took out a box, and said, "If you have time, take a look at the bacteria in the soil that secrete fragrance. The fragrance should be released at a certain temperature."

For Feng Xiaoting, the experiment of isolating bacteria is as simple as eating vegetables.He nodded and said, "I'll start the experiment tomorrow."

"I won't give you a patent for this thing." Li Sheng thought for a while and said. "However, if it is separated, it will benefit you in the future. I can give you 1% of the sales."

Feng Xiaoting didn't say anything, just nodded and left.

…………

One day, in the courtyard of the villa, Li Sheng looked at four rose trees.Not only did they lose all their flower buds, even the few leaves that were barely hanging were crumbling.

This is the kind of colorful rose found in space.He transplanted four trees, two of which were irrigated with river water, and the other two with space lake water.As a result, the flower buds began to fall less than the third day after transplanting, and the leaves began to fall on the fourth day.By the fifth day, the leaves were almost gone.

He can be sure that the roots of the four roses were not damaged when they were transplanted. Even when they were transplanted and planted in the ground, there was still some soil brought out from the roots.But in this way, the result still failed to grow.

To say he wasn't disappointed would be a lie.He has already planned to build a large number of glass sheds to plant this rose if it can be planted.

In his plan, he intends to transform the arable land in the hilly area into planting cash crops.This rose is one of the planned varieties.The other one also failed to survive.It was a plant similar to a mulberry tree, only taller and denser than a mulberry tree.The saplings he brought back from the lower reaches of the creek were also dying.

He pulled out a few apparently dead roses from the ground, and found that not only were they dead, but their fibrous roots were almost rotten.Could it be that this thing can only live in clay in water?That's a little tricky.Where did he get so much clay?

After throwing away the four plants that had not been disappointed at all, he was about to return to the villa when the phone rang.He took a look and connected: "Xiao Ting, what do you need from me?"

"Boss, I finished the experiment with the clay you gave me a few days ago. Where are you now? I will send the report over."

Li Sheng didn't notice that the other party called him boss for the first time, but he just said, "I'm at home. If you want to come over, you can ask Dingbian to send someone to fly you over."

Sure enough, Feng Xiaoting was not polite, and 10 minutes later, the helicopter landed outside the villa.

Li Sheng went out and brought him in.Seeing him carrying a big suitcase, he asked, "So many test reports?"

Feng Xiaoting said with a serious face, "Most of them are isolated samples."

Seeing his expression, Li Sheng asked, "Is that bad?"

"It's just a little strange." Feng Xiaoting shook his head and said.

Only then did Li Sheng feel relieved and went to make tea.After brewing tea, I asked, "What's so strange?"

Feng Xiaoting opened the suitcase, and there were more than 30 test tubes in it.However, he took out a document from it and handed it to Li Sheng, saying, "Boss, I have isolated a total of 33 species of bacteria from the piece of clay you gave me. Seven of them cannot be introduced."

He paused and said, "I've done experiments. When the temperature of the clay is 29 to 33 degrees Celsius, it will emit a fragrance. If the temperature exceeds this range, the fragrance will gradually disappear. What is the smell of the substance? It's not I can't analyze my strengths. But one thing is certain is that these 26 kinds of bacteria that can be introduced cannot produce fragrance when mixed together."

This time Feng Xiaoting's report took good care of Li Sheng, and the above content did not contain too many professional terms.He looked at it and asked, "You mean, it's the seven kinds of bacteria that can't be introduced that emit the fragrance?"

"It is very likely, but it is impossible to confirm whether it is one of them or all seven. In addition, because it cannot be introduced, there may be more bacterial species that have not been isolated. Due to lack of time, I only found them under the microscope. Seven."

He thought for a while and said, "I tested the water in the box you gave me, and found that it was mineral water, and it seemed to contain some subtle biological enzymes. Those seven kinds of bacteria could not survive under the infiltration of river water and lake water. I think they can only survive in the kind of water you give me. It's just that I can't extract those substances. But I can be sure that this water is not the same as the river water, and it is not the same as the lake water on the farm."

His words made Li Sheng's eyes light up.The water in that stream is really special to say the least.The first is the spring water left by the extinct volcano. In addition, there are a lot of black vines soaked in the water.And those white reishi.It can indeed be said to be a peculiar source of water.Maybe it was the water that made that stream so special.

And Feng Xiaoting's words also let him know that Feng Xiaoting had studied the difference between the river water and the lake water in the farm.But he wasn't worried about any problems.If someone insists on artificially deploying space lake water, he can give the other party four thumbs up and send the other party two capital Bs.

He thought for a while and asked, "You really have no way to extract the ingredients of those aromas?"

"Those aromas should be some easily volatile aromatic hydrocarbons. But organic chemistry is not something I am good at. I suggest sending it to a professional institution for determination."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I understand."

Feng Xiaoting said with a smile: "Because of the unique living environment of these bacteria, if there is no such water, I don't think they will be stolen. Boss, you can rest assured."

Hearing what he said, Li Sheng knew that he understood his purpose.He nodded and said, "I'm really more relieved."

Feng Xiaoting explained the bacterial samples he brought. It turned out that the test tubes contained solid medium, and there were indeed some bacteria on the slant of the medium.It's just that these bacteria are easy to find in nature.Didn't find anything special either.

Li Sheng entrusted him to send the clay to a professional organic chemistry laboratory for testing to find out what those aromatic substances are.

After explaining all the results of this experiment, he left the villa with his suitcase.

Li Sheng was left alone in thought.

He didn't think there was any trouble.Instead, wondering if that stream is a special environmental system, those frogs, the colorful roses, everything in the cave, where each factor is necessary for the other factors?

If so, it would be really difficult for him to transplant those things out.

In fact, he had already given up on transplanting those white ganoderma and bees.Because those Ganoderma lucidums he found could not be transplanted at all.Can he still build a volcanic nest rock wall?Without those white Ganoderma lucidum, those bees have no basis for survival.

But he still wants to transplant those frogs and colorful roses outside the farm. It would be the best if the bacteria can also be transplanted.

For these three things, except for the farming of frogs, which still belongs to the scope of traditional agriculture, flower planting is considered a small cross-border.And if the substances of that aroma can be produced in large quantities, if they are researching a method that can delay their volatilization and is harmless to the human body, it is a luxury-perfume.These three things will allow him to set foot in two new fields.And that kind of plant that looks like a mulberry tree is likely to let him set foot in another field.

So far, he has been involved in agriculture, fishery, animal husbandry, and entertainment and cultural industries. He may soon enter the pharmaceutical industry, the sports industry that is being prepared, and will enter the sugar industry and wine industry in the future.If the things to be transplanted this time can be successful, they can enter the luxury goods industry and the textile industry.

In other words, he now has the title of the world's richest man on his head, but he knows very well that it is all false.Maybe that title can make some people a little more awed, but he doesn't think he is really the richest man in the world.

The things on the farm seem to be very profitable now.For example, according to the calculation, a pasture can make a lot of money. According to the profit of the pasture, some people estimate the value of the farm to 2000 billion US dollars.That's equivalent to more than $8000 per acre of land.For a farm located in a remote corner, such a land price is obviously inflated.

The so-called flower has no hundred-day red.Maybe grass is the best feed for cattle fattening now, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Market competition is everywhere.Competitive methods came one after another, both open and dark, and he didn't know how much money pasture could make.If the farm can have more profitable projects, it can also spread the risk.

Silent Farm is his own, but it is also a place where hundreds of people make a living.The workers on the farm have grown from the initial three workers to more than 860 workers, although many of them are temporary workers.But these people work hard for the farm, and he has to work hard to ensure that the big rice pot of the farm has enough rice to make enough food for everyone.

You know, these workers need tens of millions of reais in salary every month.If there is no such special agriculture, he can only live on his laurels to pay his wages.
