Chapter 100: The Garbage Problem
"It's Professor Chen, what's going on with Wolbachia?"
Chen Zheyu said with a smile: "We have completed the preliminary inspection of the 500 samples shipped over...... Among them, there are more than 30 new Wolbachia species, all of which are working well, and we are currently further screening with CUHK, and it is expected that within three months, we will be able to try to release mosquito strains. ”
After a pause, he said with emotion: "This time it is really thanks to Vientiane, otherwise by next summer, a new type of Wolbachia will not be developed, and maybe there will be another epidemic of dengue fever in Dongguang Province." ”
Lin Han smiled: "It is incumbent on you to benefit the people." ”
"Not only in terms of dengue containment, but also in this batch of strains provided by Vientiane, there are very rich characteristics, including some highly specialized samples. It is also of great positive significance for our future scientific research work. ”
Wolbachia is the darling of many biologists, and so many variants will naturally play a positive role in scientific research.
Chen Zheyu said: "By the way, I told the Dongguang Provincial Health Bureau that as long as the experiment is passed, Vientiane will receive a bonus of one million, as well as some honorary awards." ”
"It's just a gesture, a reward or something, or you don't need it. ”
"How can this be done, with a gesture, what should be rewarded should also be rewarded. If you don't reward it, I'm afraid others won't even be willing to do it in the future. Chen Zheyu said.
Lin Han thought for a while, and then said: "In this case, Vientiane wants to use this million to buy some things from the Institute of Microbiology of Peking University, what does Professor Chen think?"
Chen Zheyu was a little surprised: "What to buy?"
"Vientiane recently registered a garbage disposal company, and our initial idea is to use some of Vientiane's technical advantages in the field of microorganisms to treat garbage with microorganisms. ”
"However, the current biotechnology of Vientiane Laboratory is still relatively simple, and there is a great lack of targeted cultivation," Lin Han said slowly, "We hope to be able to purchase some corresponding strains from Peking University to process all kinds ......of garbage." ”
Now Vientiane has sufficient funds to set up a garbage disposal company.
However, it is more troublesome to dispose of garbage than to treat sewage, and even if there is a sharp weapon of microorganisms, it is not very easy to do a good job and become bigger.
Chen Zheyu pondered slightly: "Microbial disposal garbage, we do have some corresponding strains here, but the efficiency is not high, if Vientiane is willing, of course it can be sold." ”
"Thank you, Professor Chen. ”
As long as there is a corresponding culture, there is no problem with efficiency.
Chen Zheyu thought for a while: "In addition, one of the doctoral students I took is named Jiang Ruiyang, who is about to graduate. He has a certain depth of microbial treatment of garbage. I'll talk to him in a moment, and I should be able to help you with something. ”
......
Soon, Professor Chen came with the news that Jiang Ruiyang was willing to come to help Vientiane build a garbage disposal company and would soon fly to Yunzhou City.
Lin Han was a little surprised when he learned about it.
This brings in a PhD student?
But when he thought about it, he was relieved, and now even the four generations of former personal guards have signed a ten-year labor contract with him, and it is not so surprising that a doctor from Peking University is a doctor.
Of course, as a boss, you still have to have an attitude. So, when Jiang Ruiyang flew to Yunzhou, he went to the airport to greet him.
A long white line crossed the sky, and the plane landed at Yunzhou Airport, and not long after, Lin Han met the doctoral student recommended by Professor Chen Zheyu.
is not the same as imagined, Jiang Ruiyang, a doctoral student at Peking University, is actually a towering fat man, with a height of more than one meter and eight meters, and his weight should be less than three hundred pounds.
"Hello, Dr. Jiang. ”
Lin Han shook hands with him with a smile, and then felt that his entire hand was wrapped in a ball of warm meat......
Jiang Ruiyang said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I have brought several bacteria for garbage disposal by the way." ”
Lin Han was a little surprised: "Which ones?"
"Oh, there are dozens of them, and it's a long story to talk about them. Jiang Ruiyang thought for a while, "I'll just say a few more advanced." ”
"For example, Ideonella_sakaiensis201F6, it'......"
Lin Han hurriedly interrupted: "What?"
Jiang Ruiyang blinked: "Ideonella_sakaiensis201F6, what's wrong?"
Lin Han was embarrassed for a while: "It's so long, isn't there an abbreviation or translation?"
"There is no translated name, but there is a abbreviation, but I think it's more awkward, and I still like to say the full name. Jiang Ruiyang said.
Lin Han was a little speechless: "Okay, you go on." ”
"Mr. Lin, you should also know that the degradation of plastic products is more troublesome, and if it is decomposed in nature, it may take hundreds of years. Although plastics can also be degraded in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, they consume a lot of energy, have low efficiency, and have almost no commercial value......"
"This Ideonella_sakaiensis201F6, it can decompose plastic products more efficiently, and decompose them into terephthalic acid, which is a harmless ......substance with ethylene glycol," Jiang Ruiyang said.
"Of course, it's only relatively efficient. If you want to achieve commercialization, you have to rely on Vientiane. ”
When Lin Han heard this, he couldn't help but nod: "Yes, this thing is very good." ”
White pollution has always been a stubborn disease in modern cities. According to statistics, in China, the recycling rate of plastic products is only 25%, and 75% of plastic products have become environmental pollutants.
The 75% of plastic products that are not recycled each year weigh about 5 million tons.
The density of plastic is relatively light, 5 million tons, but it is quite a terrifying lump.
"Anything else?"
Jiang Ruiyang continued: "There is also nylon bacteria, which is a very young bacterium, which has only evolved for a few decades. ”
"Nylon bacteria, as the name suggests, are bacteria that can break down nylon materials. Nylon is also a material that is more difficult to handle, such as nylon 66, which takes 30 years to degrade in the general soil environment. Jiang Ruiyang said slowly.
"And there's ...... in addition to that"
As he walked, Jiang Ruiyang talked eloquently, and he didn't even feel anything about Lin Han's three-million-dollar Maybach S.

ps:
The bacteria that break down plastic and the bacteria that break down nylon are real. But whether Peking University has it or not, I don't know about this.
