Chapter 102: Reactions from all sides
Yang Zhou's Oasis Space Company, which launched a spacecraft at the end of 2021 and is now on its way to Mars, has become the hottest news of the day.
The online headlines of countless countries have become the Oasis spacecraft.
The live video released by Yang Zhou at the press conference was studied by countless people frame by frame, wanting to know every detail.
The scientists engaged in aerospace are even more shocked, they have never heard any news before, and now it is the news of the nuclear bomb level, everyone is still working on rockets, Yang Zhou has actually sent the spacecraft to Mars!
Soon, some scientists also analyzed some details from Yang Zhou's public news, such as the approximate volume of the spacecraft, the approximate load of the reverse launch, and the approximate thrust.
According to the most conservative estimates, the spacecraft has a payload of more than 10,000 tons!
This is still inferred in combination with the fact that the space agency released a heavy rocket at the same time that night, relying on the live broadcast of the picture, it is impossible to analyze so many things.
Naturally, the netizens of Huaguo rejoiced, and they witnessed the rise of Huaguo with their own eyes.
In the past few months, there have been advances in biomedicine, with the development of a cancer plant AIDS drug, and patients from all over the world are trying to find ways to travel to China for treatment.
Moreover, the cost of treatment in China is cheap, and there are many foreign countries, which makes everyone feel proud.
Now Yang Zhou has entered the aerospace field, once again made a breakthrough, and promoted scientific and technological progress.
On the same day, the whole country of China set off a science fiction craze, countless Internet celebrity anchors began to popularize some scientific and technological knowledge, and the network authors of the station also seized the heat, and countless science fiction was born.
A lot of it is also about Mars.
There are several authors who belong to the god of the codeword level, who can write tens of thousands of words a day, and there is a fantasy that there is an alien civilization under Mars on the day that thousands of people are rewarded, and countless people are excited to support this author.
Because everyone realizes that the interstellar era is coming, those planets that are usually unfamiliar to everyone will soon be unveiled.
Whether there are any relics of civilization on Mars is unknown to everyone now, and according to previous research, naturally there are none.
But it does not hinder everyone's fantasies.
After Yang Zhou finished the press conference, he took Tang Yue home to rest, it was rare to relax, Yang Zhou also looked for a book, and really let him see some more interesting things.
One author used reality as a template and wrote the protagonist as an astronaut of Oasis 2.
Oasis 1 has already established a forward base on Mars, and Oasis 2 has brought hundreds of scientific researchers, and the protagonist is one of them.
Eventually, when the protagonist arrives on Mars, he discovers that the plants on Oasis 1 have mutated.
Plants eventually covered the whole of Mars.
Yang Zhou was surprised that what this author wrote was really similar to his future plans.
However, Yang Zhou also quickly figured out that in the past six months or so, too much progress has been made in biotechnology on the earth, and online authors will naturally be affected by these changes.
It's now the second day, and the botanical fair is in its normal flow.
Yang Zhou did not participate in the Botanical Expo, but hugged Tang Yue at home, and when the two were reading the same book on a tablet, countless foreign experts in the venue felt extremely bitter.
I thought that the plants I brought were already leading the world, but today, when everyone's eyes returned to the Plant Expo, everyone suddenly found that the plants of Huaguo were also several levels ahead of the biology group of the beautiful country.
Zhang Feng and Noble Denny and others walked together to visit the plants studied in Huaguo, hoping to get some inspiration and inquire about the extent of Huaguo biology.
The Huaguo Pavilion is on the other side, and all the plants are planted on the ground, and the plants brought by other countries to the exhibition are all planted in pots of different sizes, so when you come to the Huaguo Pavilion, you will suddenly feel different.
The first thing Zhang Feng saw was the metal grapevine plant, which has not been studied abroad yet.
When I saw that the fruits of the plant were hard metals, and the introduction said that this plant could absorb metals from barren mines, the whole person was not good.
"Unexpectedly, their technology has come to this point, we seem to have a research team of materials and plants, they just use plants to strengthen fibers, ready to replace wood flooring, and steel, Yang Zhou's team has directly absorbed metal."
"I heard that there is no shortage of iron in China, but iron ore is barren iron ore, and this plant directly improves this shortcoming, and we are really lagging behind." Zhang Feng sighed.
Nordini pinched the metal grape that had been picked, this metal vine was special, not only absorbing iron, but also gold.
The grapes were golden!
It is clear that gold ore is more valuable than iron ore.
Moreover, gold mines are even more difficult to mine, such as in the old days of the beautiful National University Gold Rush, where the mud and sand were washed by the river to dig out the gold.
If this kind of metal-absorbing plant can replace the gold panning process, as long as it is planted next to the gold ore sand, the gold in it can be absorbed, and the gold can be harvested directly after a period of time?
I believe that many people will be interested in this plant.
This time, their biological planning team brought countless plants to the plant expo, and they were also looking for customers to sell some plants, but now it is clear that their plants are not as attractive as the plants developed by Huaguo.
"I knew this would happen, we really shouldn't have come to this event." Nordini sighed as well.
Others are scattered throughout the venue, visiting a wide variety of plants.
Soon someone came to the desert plant area, Yang Zhou wanted to hold a plant expo at the beginning, because the Great Northwest Laboratory has studied the desert plant Shuttle tree, and this plant expo will naturally focus on the exhibition.
It just so happened that similar products were brought abroad, and the scientist in charge of this project was Pilson, a biology professor at an Ivy League university, and he felt chills all over his body at this time.
Because the drought-resistant plants he researched with a team of dozens of people are too far away from the trees on display here!
Their plants are currently a fusion of several plants with well-developed root systems, which can theoretically adapt to a variety of complex environments.
Unfortunately, the replicator spores are currently in short supply, and in addition to the lack of accelerated growth fluid, their plants are still seedlings.
There is no time for large-scale experimental planting, and this time I also want to exhibit the parameters to attract customers to purchase in advance, and it is expected that large-scale delivery will be made in a few years.
But the roots of this particular Saxon tree that Pilsen just saw can reach tens of meters deep, and there are experimental photographs showing it.
There is also the ability to provide unlimited quantities of this plant seed right now.
Pilsen has seen many wealthy desert customers in turbans from Central Europe surrounding these plants, discussing how much to buy and go back to planting.
"How the hell did they do it? It takes at least a year for the tree to mature, so did they start the study a year ago? Pilson and his companions said.
"It's really strange, it's easy to understand that they sell it on a large scale, they must also use replicator spores to replicate seeds, but how this finished product is grown is by no means something that can be done in the short term, unless they have a very powerful means of acceleration." Another biologist touched his chin and pondered for a moment.
Naturally, they couldn't get the answer in the venue, they saw a lot of plants, some of which took several years to grow, but in today's exhibition, there are mature plants on display.
This naturally gives us an advantage in terms of external sales.
The exhibition products brought from abroad are actually small saplings, after all, plant science and technology need to be planted to see the effect.
They didn't have the means to accelerate, so most of the exhibits only needed small pots.
The specific effect still relies on the scientists' speculation on the synthetic picture, predicting what it will look like when it grows up, and after the customer has visited a few exhibition areas, he will naturally not choose these plants without mature products, and many people vote with their feet and directly choose the products from Huaguo.
While you can see the appearance of mature plants, you can now provide unlimited plant seeds.
On the other side, you can only see the seedlings in small pots, and it may take months or even years to mature, and now you can only reach an agreement with them, and it will be a few years before you buy them.
The people of the biological planning group knew that they had come to participate in the exhibition this time and were preparing to attack the biological field of Huaguo, which was a complete failure, and it also exposed a big gap between them.
It's not that China is lagging behind, but that China is leading in an all-round way!
That night, the members of the biological planning team, organized by several team leaders, came to an open area outside the red beach for a meeting.
Originally, the meeting was held in the hotel conference room, but everyone was afraid of being heard, and they also lacked the means to prevent eavesdropping, so they finally chose to hold the meeting in an open field.
Everyone sat on the beach by the moonlight, Notany presided over the meeting, he said with a heavy face: "Yesterday we all focused on aerospace, did not study the plants exhibited in Huaguo, today everyone walked around, to be honest I was deeply shocked in my heart, before we were too optimistic, Huaguo's biotechnology has been improving, has come to us in front!" ”
After yesterday's press conference, everyone was pulled to analyze what plant technology was used in the spacecraft, and many people in the Huaguo stadium cared about aerospace and ignored plants.
Of course, the most important thing is that the organizers only opened some of the plants, and the most powerful plants did not open the exhibition at all.
As a result, some core plants were opened today, and everyone realized that they were still lagging behind.
"Let's all talk about our feelings, how are we going to catch up with them in the future, or do we choose to cooperate?" Nordini asked.
There are more than 20 people at the core here, all of whom are the world's top biologists, and they are also the core of the biology planning team.
They want to reach a consensus first, and even take advantage of being in China to negotiate with Yang Zhou.
Pilson, who has seen the Saxon tree, said: "The most critical problem now is that they seem to have mastered the technology to accelerate the growth of plants, and all the desert plants I studied take a year or two to grow and mature, but it is surprising that today in the exhibition hall, there are already mature and improved Saxon trees in China." ”
"I think they should have acceleration technology, which is what we lack the most, and if we want to cooperate, I propose to get this technology at all costs!"
Others also spoke up, agreeing with Pilsen.
In the past, everyone really thought that the field of biology in Huaguo was on the same starting line as them, and many papers were sent to external journals, but they also used their influence to temporarily stop publishing.
After all, they are all top biologists, and these papers will eventually be passed on to them for review, even if they are not given to them, they are also reviewed by their apprentices.
Finally, from October to January, basically no research results have been published in Huaguo Biotech's academic papers.
Of course, everyone has studied the papers that were sent, and finally decided that Huaguo's biological research is backward compared with them.
When I came to the scene today, it turned out that the papers published before were all ordinary plants, and the powerful plants were not published at all.
In fact, these people misunderstood, in the research of basic plants, Huaguo really did not lead.
Now the leading ones are all plants taken out by Yang Zhou, and these plants naturally can't write papers, but this anomaly, in the eyes of these scientists, must be deliberate.
It is to paralyze them, make them think they are ahead, and now disgrace them!
Many scientists are angry, but there is no way to counter it.
"There's no way, in addition to metal plants, I also saw more powerful space elevator plants, which simply don't look like things that should appear in this era, according to the introduction, space elevator plants can grow to tens of kilometers long, but I don't know if it's true or not, if this plant is real, it's terrifying." Zhang Feng said.
The space elevator plant is not physically exhibited, and the large size is partly the reason, and on the other hand, this plant is indeed too far ahead of the present.
First of all, the plant that grows tens of kilometers long, its trunk must be extremely tough, perhaps more than all the current alloys.
At the same time, such a long plant will definitely not rely on the roots to absorb nutrients, and it is likely that there are organs on the vines that absorb water and nutrients.
This plant made everyone present feel terrifying, and they didn't know if it was a smoke screen deliberately released by Yang Zhou, or if there was really such a plant.
"Regardless of whether the space elevator plant is real or not, from the plants we see now, competition is no longer possible, even if Zhang Feng's cancer plants are completely incomparable compared with these plants, and now there is only one way to go." Nordini concluded.
In the end, it became a discussion about how to cooperate and what chips they could come up with to attract Yang Zhou.
If possible, Nordini naturally hoped that Yang Zhou would give them some metal vines, or let them meet the space elevator plants.
After discussion, it was sad to find that they didn't seem to have anything to handle.
Normal plant technology, Yang Zhou seems to be not lacking.
"I think the gene bank should be attractive, didn't Yang Zhou always want to form a global gene bank before? In fact, we are almost done with this matter, and I heard that Yang Zhou's energy is put into the aerospace industry, and he definitely has no time to get a global gene bank, which should be our most valuable bargaining chip. A scientist said.
"And there's spending money to buy!" Another scientist said with certainty.
In their opinion, even if money can't buy those non-sale, it should be able to buy some other things, and since Yang Zhou's metal vines have been sold publicly, then the technical information should also be able to buy.
If they don't sell it, they can sell the metal vines to customers, and they can also use them for research.
After a few hours of discussion, the biological planning team finally reached a consensus, and Nordini decided to talk to Yang Zhou about the cooperation in person.
As for Zhang Feng, don't go to see Yang Zhou, Zhang Feng offended Yang Zhou again before, but don't provoke Yang Zhou and cause the cooperation to fail.
Yang Zhou didn't know about these situations at all, and received an application for a visit early the next morning, which made Yang Zhou a little interested.
In the past, these guys rushed over after knowing that Huaguo had new gene editing technology and the news of the gene code.
After obtaining the YZ bacteria, he began to suppress it again, and this time he came to the meeting with pride.
If it weren't for the spaceship, as well as the various high-level genetic plants on display, these people would definitely not be convinced.
Now that he has begged for it again, Yang Zhou really wants to see what conditions these people will offer.
If he dared to threaten him, he would dare to make a spaceship stop above them every day.
