Bidding farewell to Song Bowen, Zhang Chen took Zhang Yue to the Academy of Life Sciences.

Academician Li Bozhan had been waiting for Zhang Chen in the office for a long time.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Yue, you are here, please take a seat."

"Old Li, do you have something to do with me?" Zhang Chen asked while sitting on the wooden sofa.

Academician Li Bozhan suddenly became inexplicably excited, and Zhang Chen and the two were stunned.

"I've made a big discovery lately!" He blushed and said excitedly.

"What's the big discovery?"

Zhang Chen was hung up and asked suspiciously.

"I found that by changing the localization of just one protein, I can improve plant resistance to viruses."

Li Bozhan said happily: "Xiao Zhang, this is an antiviral method that does not rely on genetically modified organisms, only need to knock out the nuclear localization signal of a gene through gene knockout technology, and change the localization of its protein, which can help plants gain antiviral ability, do you know what this means?" ”

Mr. Li danced and was as excited as a child.

Zhang Chen understands this mood very well, and has done scientific research for decades, and now he has finally made a breakthrough in the yield of grain crops.

If it were him, he would definitely be even more unable to control his emotions.

This is like the biggest wish of my life, and through my decades of hard work, I have finally realized part of it.

This kind of satisfaction is enough to make people so excited that they can't sleep for days.

"This is great, plant viruses are one of the most destructive pathogens, which can lead to the reduction of the yield of most important crops, Li Lao, you have made a great contribution to the country!"

Zhang Chen sincerely praised Academician Li Bozhan.

Li Lao is not like himself, he does not have the blessing of the system, everything is slowly explored by himself.

Zhang Chen has a deep understanding of how big the difficulties are.

Now that Li Lao has made such a big discovery, publishing an NCS is a trivial matter, and he can directly win the Nobel Prize.

The food problem has always been a major problem, and the whole world is facing this fundamental problem.

Population growth is accelerating, the amount of arable land available is slowly decreasing, and the climate is changing.

Of the world's 7 billion people, 900 million people are still chronically malnourished, which is a terrifying number, and nearly one in seven people do not have enough to eat!

In this environment, it is urgent to increase the yield of food crops.

This is a global challenge, and now Huaguo first has Zhang Chen's Hefeng soybeans, and now Li Lao's antiviral discovery.

China's international status is about to rise in a straight line.

Li Lao's great discovery can be said to use the minimum cost to obtain the greatest benefit.

You must know that plant viruses can cause tens of billions of ugly dollars in losses every year on a global scale.

Moreover, many new diseases are caused by plant viruses.

And now, the method discovered by Li Lao can directly solve the problem fundamentally.

"The obtained antiviral ability is broad-spectrum, has a wide range of applications, and has important practical application value."

"This star really wants to retire"

Li Lao nodded slowly and said: "However, in different strains, the newly obtained antiviral ability, its strength fluctuates greatly, and even in different individuals of the same strain, there are also great differences, or need to be further improved, this antiviral strategy, now only by my preliminary discovery, still needs a certain amount of specific verification, before it can be truly applied to practice." ”

Li Bozhan looked up at Zhang Chen at this time, "So, I called you over, I want to ask, do you have time to run to the Nanfan base, I don't worry about handing it over to others." ”

At this time, Zhang Yue pulled the corner of Zhang Chen's clothes on the side.

Zhang Chen glanced back at her curiously, and he magically directly understood her eyes.

This must want to go to Nanfan with him.

The pitiful eyes were full of the words "I want to go to Sanya".

"Go, then let's go to Nanfan," Zhang Chen laughed, then looked at Academician Li Bozhan again, and said solemnly, "Elder Li, leave this matter to me, I will definitely help you optimize this discovery, and I will definitely cooperate with Yuan Lao's experiment." ”

Li Bozhan really wanted Zhang Chen to go to Nanfan and cooperate with Academician Yuan Zhiguo to verify this discovery.

In his opinion, Zhang Chen can figure out the method of soybean yield improvement in a short time, and his scientific research literacy must not be low.

It involves his life's work, and he doesn't want to casually find someone to be in charge of this.

After thinking about it, in the end, I still felt that Zhang Chen was the most reliable.

As for whether this big secret will be leaked, Li Bozhan has not considered it at all.

At this age, he doesn't care about those false names at all, all he cares about is to solve the food problem as soon as possible.

He has unconditional trust in Zhang Chen, how can he look at his semi-finished scientific research discovery with so many high-tech technologies.

"Okay, I think you can definitely do this, let's test the anti-virus ability on the rice first," Li Bozhan said with a smile.

Zhang Chen nodded and thought, Old Li, you really didn't see the wrong person, I am close to the system, I can do this easily, and I can do it with some points.

"Actually, I'm still a little worried about Lao Yuan's body, he already has a physical illness, and the country handed over the soybean verification project to him, and now I have an extra antiviral research, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

Li Bozhan looked sad.

"Has Yuan Lao's health always been bad?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, his most serious disease is cardiovascular disease, he has taken medicine for several years, but he can only suspend the condition, due to the side effects of the drug, Lao Yuan's stomach also has problems, hey, in short, a chronic disease."

Li Bozhan frowned and said, "If it weren't for the good scientific research conditions of Nanfan, I wouldn't have put the research on the virus over there." ”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he was very uncomfortable.

An academician of the National Academy of Engineering, who has been on the front line for many years, has never complained to anyone else about his physical illness.

I have always thought about how to increase the yield of rice and solve the country's food problem.

It can be said that Yuan Lao's whole life has been devoted to the cause of rice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, with me, I won't let Mr. Yuan get tired."

Zhang Chen actually secretly decided that he must exchange some products in the system that can improve his physique and prolong his life, and find an opportunity for Yuan Lao to take it.

He had seen it before, and the advanced version of the [Physical Fitness Fast-Acting Capsule] seemed to be able to extend the life a little.

Now there is no way, I can only postpone it for the time being, and when the points increase in the future, I can also exchange it for more advanced products.

As for cardiovascular disease, it just so happens that the company's medicine will be in clinical trials soon, and if Yuan Lao is willing, he can become one of the subjects.

Although it is only a clinical trial, the finished product produced by the company is no different from the medicine exchanged by the system, and the efficacy is exactly the same.

In this regard, Zhang Chen was not worried at all.

Li Bozhan got up, patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, and said with great relief: "With you, I am very relieved, I have sorted out all the information about plant anti-virus, and I will send it to your mailbox later." ”

Zhang Chen nodded yes.

The direction of plant anti-virus was something he didn't expect, and he didn't see any related products in the system mall.

Maybe I didn't see it, after all, there are so many things in the mall.

But this also gave Zhang Chen a little hope, maybe the system is really not omnipotent.

Human beings still have a certain advantage in subjective initiative, after all, the system is a dead thing in Zhang Chen's view.
