Volume 2 Chapter 7 This chapter is half a bucket of water with a little salt
Although Manaus is located in the middle of the Amazon forest, it is the largest and fastest growing city in the entire forest, with a population of more than 2 million people, making it one of the largest cities in Brazil. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In such a big city, there are still many medical institutions. So Anthony chose to go there.
Li Sheng did not come forward, mainly because he was of Chinese descent and was too conspicuous. But just because he didn't go doesn't mean he doesn't care about it. Less than three hours after Anthony left them, he called to ask how things were going.
Anthony told him that it would take two days to get the results.
Li Sheng frowned and didn't say anything more, just told them to pay attention to safety.
Anthony was not there, and the task of taking care of Chahi certainly fell to Li Sheng.
At dinner time, Chahi sat on a high children's chair, holding a glass in both hands and drinking milk, but looking at Li Sheng with sloppy eyes.
Li Sheng found that she seemed to be quiet today. On weekdays, when eating, he always asks him to bring her vegetables.
"Isn't today's meal delicious?"
Chahi put down the milk cup, and the upper lip was surrounded by white milk, as if there was an extra white beard. But the little guy doesn't seem to know this. She shook her head and said, "It's delicious." ”
"Then why don't you eat it?"
Chahi said seriously: "Is Lee uncomfortable?"
"No!" Li Shengleng paused, but immediately said with a smile. "I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"Because Lee is eating so slowly today. Chahi tilted his head slightly, as if to think about it. "Is Lee thinking about Sister Tia?"
Li Sheng didn't understand how her logic turned, wasn't she uncomfortable or thinking about people?
Before he could speak, Chahi's expression suddenly changed to look at him pitifully and said, "Chahi is very well-behaved." Li wants to think about Chaxi in the future, and he doesn't want Sister Tia, okay?"
What is this? Li Sheng thinks that the age gap can be as big as the distance between the Earth and Mars? Why does he think that Chahi is speaking Martian?
"I didn't think about Tia. If it hadn't been for this girl to mention it, he would have forgotten that there was such a person. "Also, don't Chihi and I see each other often?"
"But I miss Lee. Chahi was anxious and said loudly. Daddy said, Lee doesn't want Chaxi. Miss Tia. Because Tia's sister is drifting. However, I am also drifting. Lee: Don't think about Sister Tia. ”
Li Sheng couldn't laugh or cry. How the hell did Anthony teach his daughter.
He teased the girl funny: "Then what does Chaxi miss me?"
Chahi began to fold her chubby little fingers to lay out the facts: "I want Li to play with Chahi, make food for Chahi, tell ...... story to Chahi," she pouted when she couldn't put it anymore. "And many, many more!"
Li Sheng laughed, reached out and touched her little head, and said, "I will often play with Chahi, and I will often cook food for Chaxi." ”
"And tell the story to Chahi. ”
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Okay." And many, many more. ”
"Well, many, many more!" the little girl nodded.
Li Sheng smiled and sandwiched a piece of badly boiled beef for her: "Then let's eat well now." ”
"Hmm. That Lee didn't want Sister Tia. ”
"Why don't you make me want Tia? Don't you like her?" Li Sheng felt a lot more relaxed now, teasing her. "What if I miss her?"
Chahi was anxious again: "Daddy said that Li likes other women, so he won't have time to like Chaxi." also said that Li likes the obedient sister Tia. Chahi is obedient, isn't he?"
Li Sheng's eyelids jumped when he heard this, Anthony is really not a father's material. spoiled the little girl on weekdays, so that the little girl had a terrible scalp, and as a result, he used him to make a raft to educate his daughter. But I asked him how he felt. It's as if he's seducing a [young] girl.
"Yes, Chahi is very well-behaved. Chahi is my best friend. Even if I have someone I like in the future, I will be a good friend like Chahi. It won't change. ”
Chahi blinked: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Li Sheng smiled and helped her wipe the half-dried milk off her mouth. "I love Chahi. ”
They were talking. With a "meow", the wild cat was already full and barked softly in satisfaction. Then I walked out the door with graceful steps and crawled outside to enjoy the tropical wind.
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Look, the cats have all eaten." Chahi is also about to eat, and the food is not delicious when it is cold. ”
Seeing Cha Xi eating dinner beautifully, Li Sheng was suddenly in a good mood.
Two days later, Anthony came back with good news.
To be exact, a good and too good news.
When Anthony found him, the first thing he said was, "Lee, the farm is going to make a fortune." ”
The numbers on that report were very pleasantly surprised. Sample 1 had a paclitaxel content of 0.23%, while sample 2 contained 2.55%.
In yew bark, the variety with the highest paclitaxel content is less than 0.3%, and there are many impurities, which makes purification very difficult. The price of paclitaxel is so high, and the main cost lies in the purification process.
However, the results of the samples provided by Li Sheng showed very few chemicals in them, and only a few organic substances that were very easy to isolate.
Even if Li Sheng no longer has a brain, he knows that he has dug up a great gold mine. Of course, it may take some time for this gold mine to be actually dug up. But the vein has been found, will it be difficult to dig it?
However, if you find a gold mine, you must be able to keep it.
He asked, "I didn't find anything out of the ordinary." ”
"Nope. At the time of leaving, nothing unusual was noted. ”
Only then did he reassure him: "That's good." ”
Anthony picked up Chahi, who had thrown himself into his arms, and asked, "Lee, the next thing is to plant those things in that clearing." ”
Li Sheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, but it will take time." I need to get enough seeds. ”
The seeds are all in the space, and he needs time to pick them. He did it alone, and he didn't know how much time it would take to complete. But fortunately, this time in the space is in the season when the bushes are ripe. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to test it.
I don't know if those tree cuttings will survive. It occurred to him suddenly. If the cuttings can survive, then he may not be able to hold this gold mine for long. Whether the workers can be tempted is a question. In addition, if someone finds out, it will take a lot of people to get busy just because of the security issue.
He thought for a moment and said, "But the rainy season is coming again, and I'm afraid it will take a while to do this." ”
Anthony also calmed down from the excitement and said, "That's right, the rain in the rainy season is also a big problem. "There is so much rain that the seeds may be soaked to death before they germinate.
"The less people know about this thing before it is done, the better. ”
"Understood. Of course Anthony knows that such things are prone to pink eye. "Then I'll take Chahi home. ”
"Lee, bye-bye. Remember to think of Chahi!" Chahi grinned as he leaned on Anthony's shoulder.
After Anthony left, Li Sheng entered the space again and found that it was really not easy to collect enough seeds. This unknown shrub is less than one and a half meters high, and it is not a problem to plant two hundred trees per acre. 200 square kilometers, at least tens of millions of trees can be planted.
However, the whole world needs only a few thousand kilograms of paclitaxel, and it seems that there is no need to grow so much. Otherwise, there will be an oversupply and it will not be sold.
It seems that this matter needs to be seriously considered.
He left the space and sat in the living room and thought for a moment, according to the yield of the fruit of those bushes, a bush could probably have more than a pound of brown fruit. If you can squeeze out about half a catty of juice, doesn't that mean that only a few hundred thousand trees can meet the needs of the whole world? One or two thousand acres is more than enough.
It seems that those empty places need to think of something else.
He scratched his head and sulked to himself.
Why do you want to do so much? I really can't do it, so I'll plant sweet potatoes!
