Chapter 184: Confusion in the Academic World
The two old peasants' eyes widened: "Why?"
Over the years, cleaning up the hollow lotus seed grass has become a fixed part of their agricultural production activities, and it is impossible to avoid a wave of regular problems. With-Dream- . lā
Lin Han smiled slightly: "Vientiane Technology has already started to control these water peanuts, and it won't be long before the water peanuts in the entire Nanshui County will die." Just go back and wait, and by tomorrow at the latest, all the peanuts in the fields will die. ”
"Really?"
Lao Song was stunned, and then seemed to remember something, and said in disbelief: "Vientiane Technology? Could it be ......?"
Lao Wang looked at him: "What is it?"
"Why don't you even know everything...... You've always heard of the Vientiane Winery in Tianhu Village, right?"
Lao Wang slapped his face: "I remember, Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law next door told me that the gold bottle from Vientiane is a first-class good wine." It is said that a bottle can be auctioned for 100,000 ......"
Lao Song nodded: "Winemaking or something is just a trail, but I've heard that Vientiane Technology is a rare high-tech enterprise in Yunzhou, and it is very powerful." ”
As he was talking, he seemed to think of something and looked at Lin Han: "By the way, you said that Vientiane wants to help us clean up these water peanuts, won't it be for a fee?"
Lin Han laughed: "No, no, no." ”
“…… This is a project established by your county agricultural bureau, and it does not charge farmers money. Moreover, it is the first time that Vientiane has been governed, and the cleaning of the entire Nanshui County is free. ”
The two old farmers showed a look of surprise: "Free cleaning?"
Lin Han nodded: "That's right, it's all free." If preventive measures can be taken in the future, it can be said that it will be solved permanently. ”
"That's great!"
"Let's go tell the others!"
The two old farmers immediately left the farmland and went to inform the other villagers.
After they left, Lin Han stayed nearby for another ten minutes, put a wave of "anti-green buff", and then returned to the car and headed to the next destination.
The area of the entire Nanshui County is about 1,300 square kilometers, and the coverage of the high-level biological authority is more than 300 square kilometers.
It only took Lin Han half a day to stay in several areas near the central part of Nanshui County one by one, and all the hollow lotus seed grasses in the county began to wither.
Later that day, all the hollow lotus seed grasses in Nanshui County were in a state of withering and wilting, and they fell down one by one, becoming a hot topic of discussion among Nanshui people.
Waiting until the next day, Yunzhou TV and other media, which had been prepared in advance, began a series of reports, both online and offline, all of which were the news of the death of hollow lotus seed grass in Nanshui County......
"Invasive Plant Terminator: Vientiane's Latest Black Technology"
"He, Solved the World's Problems"
"Shocked! Why is it no longer green!"
"The three fires of the new official took office, and the water and peanuts were burned"
……
In this series of news, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the hollow lotus seed grass in Nanshui County, which miraculously died on a large scale.
Cleaning up invasive plants has always been difficult.
Needless to say, the difficulty of physical salvage and cleanup is self-evident. Many scientists in the world have tried chemical and biological methods, but they have also had little effect, and they are simply unable to exterminate invasive plants accurately and efficiently.
However, people were shocked to find that in the entire Nanshui County, all the hollow lotus seed grasses had died without exception, and no one was spared.
Outside of the hollow lotus seed grass, even the aquatic plants that survive in the nearest place have not been affected in any way and are intact.
The level of accuracy is incredible.
Ordinary people may just think it's a little magical, but in the academic world, it's already a sensation.
On the second day of the news, researchers from the global academic community contacted Vientiane Technology, asking questions and asking for cooperation.
Even Lin Han's contact information was inquired about by some people out of nowhere, and they were annoyed to contact him.
"Mr. Lin, I'm the editor of the journal Nature......"
"Mr. Lin, I am the head of the Huaxia branch of Bell Labs......"
"Mr. Lin ......"
……
Institute of Microbiology, Peking University.
Professor Chen Zheyu sat in his office, staring at the computer screen in front of him, holding his chin in one hand and frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, a man with glasses came in from knocking on the door, walked up to Professor Chen, and was about to speak, but Professor Chen interrupted him: "Xiao Jiang, have you read today's news?"
Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You are talking about the hollow lotus seed grass, and the people in the research institute are discussing it." ”
Chen Zheyu nodded: "Vientiane's biotechnology, we have also seen it before. What do you think of the hollow lotus seed grass?"
Xiao Jiang lifted his glasses: "Well, it is estimated that it should be related to some genes of hollow lotus seed grass." When it comes to the biology of invasive plants, this seems to be the only way to go. ”
Chen Zheyu shook his head slightly: "I have carefully read some reports, and it seems that the control action in Vientiane this time is not only for hollow lotus grass, but for all invasive plants......"
"All invasive plants?" Xiao Jiang's eyes widened.
Professor Chen suddenly smiled: "This kind of breakthrough is like finding a complete cure for cancer...... To some extent, invasive plants are almost cancer cells in nature. ”
"Yes, radiotherapy can target all cancer cells, but it can't eradicate them, and it will also affect normal biological cells. It's hard to imagine how accurate Vientiane can be. ”
The principle of radiation therapy is that the faster the cell divides, the easier it is to be killed by the rays. Cancer cells divide much faster than normal cells, so the damage is even more severe in the radiation environment.
Therapies that can "recognize" cancer cells are basically this pattern of self-destruction.
In the field of invasive plant management, it is similar. Even managing invasive plants can be a little more cumbersome.
Xiao Jiang thought for a moment: "Maybe they found another way, and the starting point is not in genes?"
Professor Chen shook his head: "There is no essential difference between invasive plants and ordinary plants, but the environment is different, and there are no natural enemies......
Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned: "Environment? Could it be that any special ideas can be discovered from this?"
He thought for a long time with a frown, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Still clueless...... The things in Vientiane Lab are so elusive that I kind of want to quit and join them. ”
Xiao Jiang immediately sweated: "Teacher, you can't abandon us." ”
Chen Zheyu waved his hand: "Forget it, don't talk about this." ”
"By the way, hasn't the previous new Wolbachia been sent to Dongguang Province for mosquito cultivation, and what is the situation now?"
