Chapter 63: Reversal
Yang Zhou wanted to rest for a few days, but others didn't dare to relax, especially since many biologists in China knew that they had lost the replicating fungus last time.
Everyone is actually on the same starting line, so we can't relax.
The biological planning team of the beautiful country is publishing new papers every day, claiming that they have made new discoveries in biological genes, and the scientific research teams in the four directions after the reorganization of Huaguo are also coming up with results and papers one after another.
For example, in the past, as long as it was able to increase the yield of a certain staple food by 10%, it was already great news, but now everyone has experimented with this result, and there is no fluctuation in their hearts at all.
As people become more aware of gene editing technology, it is no longer difficult to simply cut plant genes.
However, it is very difficult to edit genes at will, and no one at home and abroad can do it at present, and now we are still taking the road of transgenic, transcribing the genes of one plant to another plant.
Every few days, the latest results are published in various journals, and ordinary people feel that an overwhelming tide is coming.
In the absence of much breakthrough in physical technology, biotechnology on earth ushered in a big bang!
Of course, in Yang Zhou's eyes, these studies are also pediatrics, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
He has always been paying attention to everything through the creation mushroom, researching new varieties abroad, and almost using replicator spores in order to breed faster, so that all the genes are leaked to Yang Zhou.
In the mysterious space, Yang Zhou examined some of the more distinctive plants.
As a result, without exception, these plants did not even touch the edges of level 5.
Return to my hometown of Red Beach.
Yang Zhou first took his father-in-law to meet his parents, grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents, and then took Tang Jincheng to the small courtyard under the grapevines.
"Uncle Tang, take a closer look." Yang Zhou smiled.
Tang Jincheng's eyes also looked at the grape trellis, and only then did he realize that this vine was completely different from what he had known before.
The color is different, and there is also a feeling of iron reflection.
Yang Zhou grabbed a bunch of metal vines so hard that he couldn't tear them off, and he had to twist them a few times like a broken wire before he finally picked the grapes.
"This metal vine is a mining tree transformed by super rich plants, Uncle Tang, you pinch this fruit and see if you can pinch it." Yang Zhou said with a smile.
Tang Jincheng was thrilled in his heart, this was the plant he had seen with his own eyes that absorbed minerals.
Iron is about to spill out of the trunk of the fruit tree, which shows how efficient this metal vine is.
He pinched it and found that it couldn't be pinched, Yang Zhou explained: "80% of the fruit is iron, and the rest is carbohydrates. Yang Zhou said.
Originally, the area of the small courtyard was all red, but since the planting of this metal vine, the color of the land has gradually become lighter.
"How long is his growth cycle?" Tang Jincheng asked.
"Three months to half a year, now we can provide this seed in large quantities, if it is not possible abroad, it is better for Uncle Tang to plant this kind of grape in the barren iron ore in China first." Yang Zhou said with a smile.
There may still be various risks abroad, but in China, the transportation is now convenient, and if you scatter the seeds in the mining area, you will come back a few months later and see that all the iron elements have gathered into bunches of metal grapes, and you can bring them back to the factory to make iron.
Yang Zhou began to introduce metal vines to Tang Jincheng, and of course this was also an official introduction.
"It's very easy to feed, and the rhizome is so well developed that it can even go tens of meters underground, and each metal vine covers an area of about 100 square meters, and when planted in the mining area, you can plant one at intervals of more than ten meters." Yang Zhou explained.
Tang Jincheng didn't know very well whether the quality of iron smelting with metal grapes was good or not, so he could only forcibly hold back his excitement and watch the experts he brought to the laboratory to do experiments.
Just when Tang Jincheng was inspecting the Red Beach Desert, Tang Yue and Rong Yizhen came to Weiwu City and set off towards the Red Beach.
In Kangaroo Country, several major miners are also meeting at this time to discuss how to deal with steel prices falling below $100 a tonne.
After enjoying a good life of 230 US dollars, let them go back to the past, that is impossible!
One representative said: "I think inflation is still going on, and the price of commodities has to rise!" This drop was a completely sudden black swan event! ”
"Yes, the news that Huaguo Company has found a huge iron ore mine has had a big impact on our business, but there is also good news, that is, there is now civil strife over there, and mining can be unstable." Someone laughed.
"So, in the past few days, the news has spread, and we can still raise the price!" Someone said happily.
"Of course, don't forget that the old man has launched a big infrastructure plan, which is good news! 300 US dollars, I think it's very promising! ”
Several people discussed for a long time, and finally agreed that the price of iron ore is currently too low and must be uniformly increased!
Hegang Group received a notice from the industry association for the first time that there was a problem in a certain mine, and the iron ore production was reduced, so the price had to rise a little, and now it has changed from 100 US dollars a ton to 120 US dollars a ton.
Tang Jincheng, who was waiting for the experimental test report, received the notice and hung up the phone with an ugly face.
"Uncle Tang, what's going on?" Yang Zhou said curiously.
"Several major miners have reversed their word again, unilaterally announced an increase in the price per ton, and said what force majeure, I think it is that they know that the big infrastructure is open and want to make more money." Tang Jincheng said angrily.
"They don't know that we have mastered the new mining technology, and they talk about production cuts at every turn, so this time we will ambush them and make a profit in the futures market." Yang Zhou said.
Of course, Yang Zhou doesn't know much about futures stocks or anything, but he has such a concept in his heart.
The innovation of mining methods means that steel production will increase rapidly in the near future, and the current price is estimated to be cut in half.
In bulk trade, such fluctuations can easily create opportunities to make money.
Yang Zhou didn't plan to do it himself, he could let Lu Yuyao invest hundreds of millions to test the water, anyway, this news was to be announced.
Tang Jincheng nodded solemnly, he couldn't relax until he tested the smelting results.
Soon, a staff member excitedly ran and shouted, "The test is out!" The effect of metal grape ironmaking is very good, it hardly consumes much coal, and it seems to be directly smelted into a special alloy with a high hardness! ”
Tang Jincheng didn't care about his identity at this time, he stepped forward in a few steps and grabbed the iron made of metal grapes, and flicked it lightly with his fingers.
The iron made a crisp sound.
Originally, during the ironmaking period, various trace elements had to be added to make good iron.
Except for Yang Zhou, everyone didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and the metal vines would be directly smelted together into steel!
Tang Yue had just come to the red beach with his mother at this time, and he happened to see the cheering crowd from afar.
Rong Yizhen hadn't seen her husband as happy as a child for many years, and she unconsciously fell into memories.
Yang Zhou was the first to react, and hurriedly quietly pulled away the others, leaving Tang's father and Tang's mother alone.
Maybe I'll see them holding hands later, Yang Zhou held Tang Yue's little hand, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now it's really the right time, the right place and the right people have all taken possession, and the old man can't handle it, so there's no way.
Yang Zhou couldn't take care of these adults' affairs, he took Tang Yue to say hello to the old people in the family one by one, Tang Yue was still so careful, and he still brought a lot of gifts back.
The family had a good time, chatting and watching TV, and by the way, waiting for the two awkward adults to see when they would come back.
