No country can do without staple foods. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe United States is a fast-food society, and even the president often eats hamburgers. But there is no flour, where do they have hamburgers to eat?

As far as the current situation is concerned, unless the United States solves the X virus, it can only accept Li Sheng's bundled sales.

But how easy is it to solve the X virus? Virus X has been around for almost two years, but the more scientists study, the more variants there are. The problem of wheat has not yet been solved, and rice is also threatened. If the production of both staple foods were to be massively reduced by the virus, the world would not know how many people would starve to death.

Even the United States is no exception, unless their cattle can satisfy everyone's stomachs, there will always be people who will starve to death.

It is precisely in this regard that Li Sheng wants to choke the necks of those three countries.

They were talking. Chen Bo's secretary Lu Feifei walked in with a document: "Mr. Chen, there is news from the chicken plate. Songqi Agriculture Co., Ltd. announced that it will provide technical support for the artificial cultivation of matsutake mushrooms to all the people of Jipan. ”

Chen Bo stood up and walked over quickly, took the document and read it. After reading it, his face was calm, and he said to Lu Feifei, "You go out first." ”

When Lu Feifei went out and closed the door, he also sat back again. He took a brief look at it and handed the document to Li Sheng.

After Li Sheng read it, his face was neither angry nor joyful, and he handed the document to Luo Zheng.

Chen Bo said: "They want to buy culture media to make money!" ”

"Are we putting too much pressure on us?" Luo Zheng quickly finished reading the document and looked up and said. "If they do this, the price of our matsutake mushrooms will only come down. Is there still money to be made? His last question was Li Sheng. Because the cost of matsutake production at Silent Farm is known only to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "The price may drop in a short period of time. But we can't drop too much. Now they've announced the open technology, but we don't. I'm not going to make it public either. I can adjust the yield on the farm. ”

"But if you do that, the domestic market that you have managed to build will be snatched away by them in minutes." Luo Zheng said with a frown.

"Don't worry." Li Sheng heard that the matsutake mushrooms they cultivated were not as good as the wild ones, so he estimated that they had analyzed the medium recipe, and there was no way to cultivate real matsutake mushrooms. Perhaps this time it was the space lake that played a key role.

His medium is actually very simple, it is made from a mixture of algae, pasture and soil from the matsutake mushroom in the space. Whether it is macroalgae or pasture, it is planted using space lake water, and the cultivation workshop also uses space lake water. Perhaps the farm can breed better matsutake than wild matsutake mushrooms, and the space lake water is the main contributor.

Although he was not sure, Li Sheng felt that since the quality of the matsutake mushrooms cultivated on the chicken plate was far inferior to that of Silent Farm, why did he need to reduce the price. If the chicken pan matsutake mushroom really seizes the domestic market, they can only seize the low-end market. Silent Farm's as long as it occupies the high-end market is enough.

Listening to Li Sheng, although Chen Bo and Luo Zheng were still worried, they could only listen to Li Sheng.

Because he wanted to send the wheat to China as soon as possible, Li Sheng was worried that there would be problems, so he did not stay in China for too long. After signing the cooperation agreement, I rushed to the farm the next day.

He returned to the farm, got off the plane and did not go back to the villa, but went straight to the management area of the southern district, and found Babur to ask how the preparations for the export of wheat were going.

Babur was a little surprised that he was so nervous about the sale of wheat this time, but he still said truthfully: "In four days, we have loaded 8,000 tons. Belém has also rented a warehouse. Mosu is going through the export formalities. ”

Li Sheng got all the information from his three sentences. On average, only 2,000 tons of wheat are loaded a day, which is too slow. It takes two months for 120,000 tons to be shipped out. It didn't catch up with his plan.

Belém still has to unload the goods and put them in the warehouse first, and there is also a hidden danger to his plan here.

"Did Mosu say how long it would take to complete the formalities?" Li Sheng is a farmer, and he can only entrust a company with a business license to handle the import and export procedures on his behalf.

"It should be possible to do it within a week."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Can the speed of loading the ship be faster?" It's best to speed it up. "He's worried about what will happen over time. The sooner the wheat is delivered to China, the better.

Babur thought for a moment and said, "There are not enough workers. That would sacrifice the speed of forage transport. In addition, workers are required to work overtime. ”

"Recently workers were asked to work overtime. Overtime pay doubled. Also, you can hire some temporary workers. ”

Babur has a very valuable character, that is, when others don't say it, he never asks why. He nodded and said, "I'll talk to Thomas." "It's easy to hire a temporary worker. In the nearby towns, there are a lot of people waiting for work.

"Be safe." Li Sheng added a point at the end.

After leaving Babur, Li Sheng went to the laboratory again. Seeing that there was a security guard on duty at the gate of the laboratory, he said hello and went in. This time, he was not afraid of trouble, changed his clothes and shoes, and after disinfection, went in to find Feng Xiaoting.

From the outside, the area of the laboratory is not very large, and the first floor is only 300 square meters. But it's not easy to find someone inside. He had to make a phone call to find Feng Xiaoting.

Feng Xiaoting saw that it was him and led him to a room that was decorated like an office with a bed in it. This is Feng Xiaoting's rest room.

"You may be seated." Feng Xiaoting closed the door and turned on the exhaust fan, and it took a long time to make tea. "Mr. Li, what do you have to tell me?"

Li Sheng looked at it and asked, "I want to know if your experimental data here is safe?" ”

"There is no such thing as absolute secrecy. But now Zhang Dingbian has sent ten security team members to protect the laboratory 24 hours a day, and all the laboratories and corridors have installed monitors. There is a special person to monitor. In addition, the computer where I store my data also has three layers of encryption. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "That's good." He paused and said. I went to Huaxia this time. An agreement was signed with them. Later, we worked with them to produce the first generation of seeds. Some data needs to be shared with them. You prepare. ”

"Okay." Feng Xiaoting is actually what some people call a banana man, who immigrated to the United States from his grandfather's generation. For him, the word Huaxia just represents a certain country in the world. But he didn't see the United States as his homeland. So Li Sheng wants to cooperate with that country, as long as his research results can be transformed, it will be the same for him.

Li Sheng looked at him and said, "I hope you can keep these studies secret." I know if the results of this study will make you famous, but it's not in my interest. As compensation, I will give you 10% of my benefits in this collaboration. ”

Feng Xiaoting was not dissatisfied with this, nodded and said: "Actually, my role in this research is not very large. I'm just analyzing the results. The most important thing is that the wheat seed source on the farm is good enough. I didn't invent it, I just discovered it. ”

If it had been before, perhaps he would have offered to let him and his sister leave the Silent Farm. But now he doesn't have that idea. At Silent Farm, he has room to play. Besides, his sister Feng Xiaorong and Cao Mo are already a couple now, and he has no intention of breaking them up.

Li Sheng saw that the communication between the two sides was so smooth, and he was in a good mood: "Last time, you said that rice was also doing experiments. How's the progress? ”

"It takes a week to get results." Feng Xiaoting estimated it and said. "I took some first-generation seeds, compared them with the original seeds, and compared the water and soil from the farm with the water and soil outside. If the results of the experiment are all predetermined results, then it is considered definitive. ”

Feng Xiaoting should have received confidentiality training, even in his own lounge, he said words that others sounded very vague and the parties understood. He's worried about bugging or something.

Li Sheng didn't think about it in this direction: "If it's also immune." I'll probably use it to work with that side as well. You get the results as soon as possible. In addition, it is best to complete the research of the second generation of Zishi as soon as possible. ”

"I understand." Feng Xiaoting thought for a moment and reminded Li Sheng. "If Mr. Li wants to keep it secret, it's best to keep the original seed by himself. Dispose of it when you need it before taking it out. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Feng Xiaoting's reminder is not unfounded. He is now worried that the farm's wheat seed has leaked out. In fact, the rice that is still being harvested can be regarded as the original seed. Because it was grown without any treatment.

Now he has a much stronger sense of protecting the provenance. He thought for a while and said, "I still have a sesame seed here, and I plan to plant three stubbles on the land in the future, so let's see if you can process this sesame seed as well." ”

"Sesame? It may take some time. Unlike rice and wheat, it is a plant of different families and needs to be equipped with treatment agents. ”

"It's okay to take your time. By the way, what are you working on right now? ”

"Comparison of genosegment sex characteristics of X virus." Feng Xiaoting said something that Li Sheng didn't understand. "Not much progress."

"What's the point of studying that thing?"

"You can find the core gene segment of the X virus. The core gene segment of a cell, each gene chain is unique and unique, and it is also the only fragment that does not undergo any changes. Once this gene segment changes, life will be terminated or mutated. "I have to say that Feng Xiaoting is still very calm. Even if the topic is the one he is most interested in, he just says it plainly. "As long as we find this gene segment, we can use it as a target gene and study ways to kill it."

"It doesn't seem good for us to study this." Both wheat and rice in Silent Farm are now likely immune to the X virus. If a way to deal with the X virus is developed, it will only be bad for Li Sheng, but not good.

Feng Xiaoting looked at him for a day and said with a smile: "I'm not going to study how to deal with the X virus. In fact, it was during this time that the core gene fragment had a vague concept. From the wheat cells on our farms, there seems to be a way to target the defense system against the core genetic fragments of the virus. I studied the X virus because I know more about this virus recently, and I don't want to target this virus. If we can find a way to determine the core gene fragments, we can inactivate any kind of DNA cell in the future without endangering other cells. ”

Li Sheng listened to what he said, and he didn't think deeply in his heart, and said, "Since you want to do research in this area." Then do it. ”

"I need a couple of helpers!" Feng Xiaoting can be said to be confident to the point of being a little conceited. But he's just a man anyway. Doing biological experiments requires a lot of time for experiments and analysis, and he can't be busy alone. I said that the research was not too in-depth, and many things could be helped by the workers of the factory. He just does some comparisons and analysis.

But this time, the topic he set was indeed to conduct real molecular biology experiments, and to study biological genes. These are things that are impossible for farm workers to help with, and the experimental workload is huge. If he is still alone, even if he is powerful, he will not be able to keep busy.

Li Sheng will really feel that Feng Xiaoting is a rare high-tech talent, at least for Silent Farm. For such a person, the request he made is, of course, to be seriously considered.

He thought for a moment and said, "Yes." But I'll find someone from Huaxia. Of course, you need to approve it. ”

"Okay." Feng Xiaoting only needs to be able to complete the experimental tasks he gives as an experimental assistant, and the people from that country don't matter at all. "In addition, this experiment will require at least hundreds of millions of dollars. And it doesn't necessarily generate revenue. ”

Li Sheng thought for a while and decided to take the money: "I'll let Thomas stay on the budget." "As for whether there is a profit in the end, it can only be a bet. Investments are risky. At least before the laboratory invested 300 million, he didn't expect to produce these results now. (To be continued.) )
