Sun Xiaoyan took Hu Chuyue and Li Lin to toss around at Northwest A&F University for more than half a month, and finally had some eyebrows. The main reason is that the school is on vacation, and only a few of the faculties are on duty, so it is not easy to find people.

For silkworm breeding, what you want to find is the Department of Insects of the College of Animal Research, and Li Lin's college is the College of Resources and Environment, which crosses the college.

Li Lin found the leaders of the college from the department, and then found the department in charge of the school: the Office of Foreign Exchange and Cooperation. When it comes to specific cooperation projects, this department is only responsible for matchmaking, and it is still necessary to negotiate with specific department leaders.

The Department of Entomology is a smaller department in the College of Zoology, and when Li Lin and the others came to the door, there was only one teacher on duty in the department. Hearing that some companies were willing to cooperate with the department, the teacher on duty was very happy and immediately reported to the department leader.

The head of the Department of Entomology is a thin old man in his sixties, Professor Zhou, a doctoral supervisor, with gray hair and not yet retired. It is said that there is a shortage of professionals in the Department of Entomology, but Professor Zhou still insists on working on the front line of teaching.

Professor Zhou looked at Sun Xiaoyan and Hu Chuyue, two female dolls, so young, and was a little skeptical, building a silkworm seed cultivation base, such a big thing, can you call the shots?

Sun Xiaoyan waved a blank check, promising to first sponsor 500,000 scholarships in the Department of Entomology, pay for the introduction of 500,000 technical talents, and a free student internship base.

I only ask the department to help set up a sericulture breeding base, and it would be better if I could teach farmers how to raise silkworms.

The cost of infrastructure equipment and the salary of technical personnel are all borne by Taohuaxian Company, and the professional scientific research personnel led by the department pay the consulting fee separately.

The general cooperation framework has been negotiated, the two sides have agreed on the specific signing time, and welcome the department to send people to the company for inspection, and the transportation and accommodation company will be all-inclusive.

Before the school opened, the delegation organized by the Department of Entomology came to Tongyuan. It was said that it was an inspection group, but in fact there were only three people, and Professor Zhou came with two graduate students.

It seems that the school is still very cautious about this matter, and must come and see it in person, and there is no fanfare, just three people came lightly, but Professor Zhou, as the head of the department, personally led the team.

In terms of Taohuaxian Company, He Anjiang, Zhang Junru, and Sun Xiaoyan personally came forward to receive them.

Professor Zhou first visited the textile factory, and frowned when he looked at it, it was a yarn spinning machine, and there was no technical content.

Then Professor Zhou asked to see the mulberry planting, and He Anjiang began to frown.

"Professor Zhou, we don't have mulberry trees here, but we do have hazelnut trees...... "He Anjiang tried to explain the main point.

"Hazelnut tree, then let's go and take a look......" Professor Zhou felt more and more that this matter was unreliable, and he hadn't heard of any hazelnut forests in Tongyuan.

He Anjiang led the group to the mountain.

Professor Zhou looked at the verdant and lush, and always felt that something was wrong.

Is the natural ecology of Tongyuan County so good? It's not much better than the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, right?

The sky is blue, the air is exceptionally fresh, and the greenery rate is so high?

Professor Zhou picked up a few bushes of weeds, which only grew this year? There is no humus in the loess, but the roots of the weeds are very deep.

He Anjiang led Professor Zhou to the hazel forest, and Professor Zhou went deep into the forest to take a closer look.

The hazel trees are already very tall, mostly shoulder-length, and the leaves are very large, green and fat.

"Teacher, there are cocoons here!

Professor Zhou rushed to hear the sound.

The white and chubby cocoon is more than five centimeters long and three centimeters in diameter.

The cocoons are not one or two, but a large one, hanging on the branches, the sun is shining, the silver is shining, and it is very beautiful.

"This is a wild silkworm, it seems to be the legendary silkworm, and this is the first time I have discovered it. What kind of variety it is, you have to identify it in detail. Professor Zhou said as he watched.

"If the breeding can be successful, it will change the history of Chinese silk and even the world's silk. Professor Zhou is still in a state of excitement.

"You take more and take them back to school to study. Professor Zhou instructed his two students.

"No, pick less and let them breed naturally. Protect this place......" Professor Zhou was a little excited.

"Teacher, there are many more in the forest over there......" another student reminded Professor Zhou.

Of course, these silkworms are not wild, they were quietly stocked by Li Dongwen, just for experts to discover.

Li Dongwen didn't dare to stock too much, he was afraid that these guys would eat up the forest. These guys are too fertile and eat a lot.

Professor Zhou had a general understanding of the scale of the hazel forest, which is 20,000 or 30,000 acres, and can raise a lot of silkworms.

"The hazelnuts here are too dense to grow, so you can transplant some of them elsewhere and expand the scale. Professor Zhou suggested.

Professor Zhou and the others collected hundreds of silkworm cocoons and planned to bring them back to the school for research immediately.

"These cocoons have begun to turn yellow and soften, and they are about to emerge from the cocoons. It must be sent back as soon as possible. Professor Zhou seemed urgent.

Professor Zhou did not return to school alone, Taohuaxian Company sent a five-member working group, accompanied by Zhang Junru and two lawyers, He Anjiang, Sun Xiaoyan and others, who were preparing to sign a contract with Northwest A&F University.

As a professional lawyer, Zhang Junru's team pointed out a core point, the ownership of silkworm seeds, silkworm seeds were found in the forest farm of Taohuaxian Company, and the ownership belongs to Taohuaxian Company, and the future scientific research achievements of Professor Zhou and others can only be regarded as intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights, Peach Blossom Fairy Company can be used for a fee.

As soon as the working group here set off, Sun Yunsheng brought two silkworm seed cultivation experts, a man and a woman, to Tongyuan.

The woman's name is Zhan Yiming, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, quite delicate.

The man's name is Gan Deqiang, in his forties, quite tall and strong, more than 1.8 meters tall, and weighs at least 18.

These two people were hired by Sun Yunsheng from the breeding base in the city with high salaries.

Sun Yunsheng believed that money could make ghosts grind, and his annual salary was 100,000 yuan, which finally impressed the two of them.

Gan Deqiang is the second-in-command of the base, the deputy director of the silkworm seed factory, and the technical faction.

Zhan Yiming was his assistant.

There is a story between Gan Deqiang and Zhan Yiming, this story became an "accident" after a drunken accident at the beginning of the year, and was known by Gan Deqiang's wife, crying and causing a divorce.

In a boiling mood, the two finally left, and Gan Deqiang left the house.

Zhan Yiming was unmarried, and as soon as the accident happened, she was infamous as a "little three", and she couldn't stay in the unit anymore, so she applied for leave without pay.

Gan Deqiang also wanted to change the environment and change the way of living, and it happened that Sun Yunsheng came to the door, and Gan Deqiang simply took Zhan Yiming to Tongyuan.
