Zhou Guoqiang first said something at the beginning, and then directly asked Yang Zhou to speak on stage, and did not let the biologists speak, the people present were all selected by Zhou Guoqiang, and they were actually responsible for various projects and had excellent technical talents.

Everyone is here to learn something.

Yang Zhou stood on the stage, looking at the many familiar faces below, many of whom had participated in his thesis defense before, nodded slightly, and Yang Zhou said, "I'll just go directly to the topic and talk about dry goods, right?" ”

Everyone in the audience applauded politely, Yang Zhou was so direct, it was exactly what everyone liked, if he really talked about it as long as the leader, everyone didn't like it.

"Today's talk is mainly about the research direction of the plant field, I made a PPT in advance, the plant field is divided into several directions, everyone here should be engaged in one of the directions, if there is any omission, you will point out when you ask questions!"

Seeing that the people below listened carefully, some old professors and academicians even put on glasses and took out notebooks to record, and Yang Zhou also opened the PPT.

"I divide the development direction of the plant field into four types, the first is the important role of plant science in environmental construction, among which desert greening, air purification, and water and soil pollution control are all projects, and there seems to be a key laboratory in the northwest that is mainly doing research in this area."

The people from the Great Northwest Laboratory in the audience immediately chimed in: "That's right, we're studying these!" ”

Occasionally, a few others responded, and apparently there are people working on this area elsewhere as well.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, continue to talk about the application direction of the second plant, and the second I think it should be the important role of plant science in high and stable agricultural yield."

"These include the hybrid rice that I have studied, as well as the genes that promote plant photosynthesis and promote the agglomeration of growth genes, and the genes that resist biotic and abiotic stresses."

"There are also soybeans, wheat, corn and other grains to increase production, and the research on stable yield will also be discussed later, and each team will be responsible for a direction in the future."

Everyone listened very carefully, and the direction of Yang Zhou's summary is also the direction of everyone's research.

In the past, when they taught students in class, they also talked about it, but there was not much new, but the focus is definitely not on the present, but on the content behind and the detailed guidance on the direction of specific technical research.

"The third is the important role of plant science in the production of high-quality agricultural products, in this direction, there are many things that can be studied, such as making agricultural products more high-quality, color, aroma, taste, nutrition, health and other aspects of improvement, in the metabolic gene regulation of plants, environmental self-regulation, chemical regulation of agricultural products and other aspects to make progress."

The above three directions are actually the three directions summarized by Yang Zhou by summarizing the content of last year's laboratory project obtained in advance.

So it was recognized by everyone in the audience, and there was warm applause as soon as the words fell.

"In addition to the above three directions, I think there is a fourth direction, but when I look at everyone's topics, I don't find how much is involved, and some may have been involved before, but maybe due to technical problems, scarcity of funds, etc., they have given up."

At this time, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Yang Zhou had to say about the direction of the plant.

"The fourth, I think it should be plant diversity, he contains many aspects, for example, I have read the latest paper, kangaroo scientists through the study of wood materials, first compress the wood, and then extract the lignin in the wood, so that the wood becomes harder, and now it has been 10 times harder than the previous wood, which can be compared with steel."

Someone in the audience knew about this project and whispered to the people around him: "I know this, the team of Chinese scientist Li Teng at the University of Maryland has researched, and it is said that this technology has begun to be used in practice, and the cost is several times lower than that of steel." ”

Yang Zhou continued: "This is the in-depth application of plant materials, and I think there is still a lot of room for exploration in this area, for example, through genetic code technology, we may realize the use of plants to replace aerospace materials, and even develop native materials that can withstand the high temperature of the 'little sun'." ”

The people under the stage are not calm, how can plants or wood still be carbon structural fibers in the final analysis, how can they withstand the high temperature of the "little sun".

Now the temperature of the little sun has exceeded the surface temperature of the real sun by 120 million degrees Celsius, reaching 160 million degrees Celsius.

There is no material on the earth that can resist it, so magnetic confinement technology is used.

The melting point of steel in the earth materials is 1538 °C, the boiling point is 2750 °C, the melting point of tungsten is 3410 °C, which is the metal element with the highest melting point, and the melting point of graphite is 3850 °C, which is the non-metallic element with the highest melting point.

The melting point of the synthetic metal hafnium-tantalum alloy - pentacarbide tetratantalum hafnium TaHfC at standard atmospheric pressure is only 4215 °C.

Therefore, the material that can resist the highest temperature on the earth is more than 4,000 degrees, why does Professor Yang say that there is plant material that may surpass this data?

Yang Zhou ignored the noise below, and continued: "In addition to high temperature resistance, plant materials may also have the ability of super stretching, automatic absorption of energy storage and utilization, radiation resistance, etc., and in the future, our genetic code technology will mature, and we may even modify plants that survive in space!" ”

"Impossible!"

"Professor Yang is stunned, right? How is this possible! ”

"Professor Yang said something about the technical direction that can be realized, what you mentioned is too mysterious, plants have an upper limit, and it is impossible to do what you said."

The academicians in the audience retorted one after another.

Because what Yang Zhou said has gone against everyone's worldview.

Just like everyone knows what the gravitational constant of the earth is, now someone tells everyone that Newton was wrong, and the gravitational constant is not 9.8N per kilogram, but 100N.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to refute, the universe is so big, there are many magical things, someone may have heard of replicating spores, then you should know that the ability to replicate spores, they can even copy genes in the air, do you have to deny what appears in reality?"

"Don't think that the direction I'm proposing is impossible, the potential of the genetic code is endless!"

"Okay, back to the research direction, the few I mentioned may be too advanced, and I am not ready for you to study, in addition to the use of materials, but also in medicine, I have successfully developed cancer treatment drugs, that is, the development of plant genes in the direction of medicine."

When everyone heard Yang Zhou say this, they no longer questioned it, many things in the world scientists can't understand, maybe what Yang Zhou said is also possible?

Hearing about medicinal plants, the person in charge of Yungui Laboratory became excited, this is his research direction!

"The above is my summary of the direction of plant science and technology, next, we will discuss which directions need to increase research, everyone put their respective projects whether they are ongoing, or ready to be carried out, are put forward to discuss, last year, China's total scientific research budget has exceeded 1.8 trillion!"

"However, the investment in computers, communications and other electronic equipment accounted for more than 200 billion, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry about 130 billion, automobile manufacturing industry about 120 billion, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing also about 130 billion, chemical raw materials and chemical products about 100 billion, general equipment manufacturing about 80 billion, miscellaneous and many more, let's talk about our research in the field of plants, should not exceed 5 billion, right?"

Countless people present nodded their heads, and their hearts were bitter when they engaged in plant research.

In fact, in plant research, a lot of money is basically on the equipment, but the equipment was bought in previous years, and it didn't cost much in the second year, and the rest was labor costs.

Research genes, research hybridization, research Chinese herbal medicine, research environmental modification, and finally all need to be planted!

The biggest cost is the cost of time, which takes a long time to experiment.

For a variety of reasons, the budget is less than 5 billion in the overall budget.

Yang Zhou said with a smile: "Next year, I will be responsible for helping you solve the funding problem, and the investment in the biological field will definitely not be less than 100 billion!" But everybody has to listen to me, I'm done. ”

Originally, Yang Zhou still wanted to say, who is in favor and who is against.

If you think about it carefully, it's too frivolous, or not, they are all respectable old scientists, and the next step is to plan the development direction of each laboratory, and send a group of elite soldiers to his hands.

He still has to master a group of scientific researchers who specialize in hard-to-gnaw bones.

Everyone's labs are assigned their own tasks.

Of course, the use of YZ bacteria and the use of gene code is still at the earliest level, that is, in the previous Cas9 gene editing period.

Yang Zhou also needs to answer many people's questions, make plans for everyone, and even impart knowledge and experience.

This is what Secretary Zhou said, not alone, but gang action to promote the development of the overall industry.

Yang Zhou doesn't need these people to solve difficulties, deal with simple problems, and when he encounters problems, he can slowly intervene.

The transformation of plants on the earth, to be honest, is far from the footsteps of Yang Zhou.

Look at what plants are sold in the level 6 system in the system!

It was a plant that directly generated electricity, a plant that treated cancer, and the next level jumped directly to the World Tree level.

It must be pulled, otherwise the earth biotechnology will only be farther and farther away from the top plant technology that Yang Zhou is in contact with.
