Chen Youping couldn't go on, because the results were too absurd, and if this was the case, then physics would have an earth-shaking earthquake.

However, Song Ziyu didn't understand Chen Youping's words, Song Ziyu only cared about one question: "Old Chen, I just want to know, is there any crops that can be grown in this land?" ”

"Do you dare to eat it when you grow it? Are you not afraid of excessive metal? Chen Youping asked.

Song Ziyu thought of the hungry people in Longshan, and thought that even if he ate leukemia or cancer, it was better than starving to death.

"Professor, don't worry about whether you can eat it, let's talk about whether you can plant it first, are there any crops that can be planted?" Song Ziyu asked.

"Let me think about it......" Chen Youping fell into thought.

Soon, the old professor gave the answer: "There is a crop that meets your requirements, but it is the teacher's patent, and you need to pay the patent fee before I can authorize you to use it." ”

"How much is the royalty?" Song Ziyu asked.

"Six hundred thousand in one cycle!" The old professor said.

"Can it be less?" Song Ziyu feels that Chen Lao's level of making money is not ordinary, how long is a cycle?

"It can't be less, I sell this technology to foreign countries at least one billion to start!" Chen Youping said.

Song Ziyu's face was full of disbelief.

"Forget it, you'll come and see it the day after tomorrow." Chen Youping said.

"No, 600,000 is 600,000! Prepare me seeds for five thousand acres of land! Song Ziyu remembered the electricity bill reminder posted on the wall at the door of the institute, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Five thousand acres of land! To have so much? Chen Youping was shocked.

"The first batch." Song Ziyu smiled.

"Okay, I'll tune it for you now!" Chen Youping agreed to come down.

"It's a deal!" Song Ziyu said.

……

Early in the morning the day after tomorrow, Song Ziyu came to the laboratory impatiently and met Chen Youping waiting in the hall.

"Old Chen, I've kept you waiting!" Song Ziyu was overjoyed.

"Follow me!" Chen Youping is also in a hurry.

Chen Youping took Song Ziyu up to the second floor, and then opened a laboratory.

There are a large number of artificially cultivated plants in the large laboratory.

Chen Youping took Song Ziyu to a purple plant and said to Song Ziyu: "This thing is the answer I found for you." ”

Song Ziyu looked at the strange plant in front of him.

The purple plant is about a meter tall and resembles a dog's tail grass, but the leaves are extremely large and hang down on the ground like sweet potato leaves.

"What is this?" Song Ziyu was lonely and unheard, and he didn't know what this thing was.

Fortunately, Chen Youping was not interested in playing with Song Ziyu, and introduced it bluntly: "This is a topic that my teacher presided over in order to solve the food problem in the saline-alkali areas of western Xinjiang. ”

"This is not a plant that exists in nature, but a brand new plant ...... that my teacher and I have spent decades carefully cultivating using gene editing technology and plant grafting technology."

"Its name is Liangshu No. 1." Chen Youping said.

Liang Shu No. 1!

Song Ziyu touched his chin and asked curiously, "Can it grow in the soil I gave you?" ”

Chen Youping said firmly: "Sure!" Liangshu No. 1 was synthesized using dozens of rounds of cultivation of the optimal sorghum genome and the rare octaploid sweet potato genome! ”

"It has a combination of sorghum and sweet potato characteristics."

"Sweet potatoes are rich in protein, starch, amino acids, vitamins and more than a dozen trace elements, and are a high-quality choice that can be used as a staple food!"

"But the conditions required for the growth of sweet potatoes are relatively harsh, so we added the genome of sorghum."

"Sorghum is the fifth largest cereal crop in the world, and it occupies an extremely important position in agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions!"

"The best of the best sorghum genes can completely overcome the harsh conditions of saline-alkali land."

Song Ziyu stared at this Liangshu No. 1, and couldn't help muttering, what sorghum can grow taller than himself.

Hearing this, Chen Youping's expression tightened.

The reason why Liangshu No. 1 was successfully developed is that its genome not only contains the components of sorghum and sweet potato, but also the genes of Populus euphratica......

But this secret is only known to me and my teacher!

At this time, Song Ziyu asked again: "So when will this thing be harvested if it is planted?" ”

Chen Youping replied: "Three seasons a year, as long as the sunlight is sufficient, there will be a harvest in less than four months, and a yield of 1,200 catties per mu is the bottom line." ”

"That's amazing!" Song Ziyu was surprised.

According to this per mu yield, it is not a problem for the grain harvested from 5,000 mu of land to feed the entire Longshan settlement, and if the wasteland is reclaimed, it will be necessary to sell grain.

Thinking of this, Song Ziyu was excited.

At this time, Chen Lao spoke again: "Just overcoming saline-alkali land is nothing!" Let me tell you, I sell this patent to foreign countries, whether it is Cargill or Louis Dreyfus Company, or Monsan, at least one billion in remuneration, do you know why? ”

"Why?" Song Ziyu asked curiously.

Chen Lao said word by word: "Because this thing will be harvested after more than three generations, if you want to continue planting, you must buy the mother seed!" That's the cycle I'm talking about for you. ”

Song Ziyu was taken aback when he heard this, this technology is amazing.

We have grasped the food from the source.

It's amazing!

"Boy, what you bought is the right to use this patent, I will provide you with high-quality seeds, these seeds will gradually disappear after three seasons of reproduction, if you want to continue planting, buy from me in the next cycle, and I will give you a good price when the time comes." Chen Lao Dao.

Song Ziyu nodded thoughtfully.

Three seasons is one year, one cycle a year.

Seeds that are always needed......

Eternal inheritance.

At this time, Song Ziyu had realized the power of this technology.

But soon Song Ziyu realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, Old Chen, let me ask you, why haven't I heard of such a good thing? Isn't it promoted in Western Xinjiang? Song Ziyu asked.

Chen Youping nodded and said: "There are only two experimental fields in Western Xinjiang to cultivate mother seeds, and there is indeed no promotion in addition. ”

"Why?" Song Ziyu asked: "Is there any disadvantage to not using such a good technology stranding?" ”

Chen Youping shook his head and said: "There are no drawbacks to this project, and there are two reasons why it can't be promoted. ”

"The first is that since the large transportation line has been rolled out in Western Xinjiang, the problem of logistics has been solved, and the abundant grain outside Xinjiang can enter Western Xinjiang with the transportation line, and growing grain on saline-alkali land has become chicken."

"As for the second reason, once Liangshu No. 1 is promoted, you can imagine what will happen." Chen Youping sighed.

"What happened? Isn't it the whole world that people are fed? Song Ziyu asked curiously.

Chen Youping looked at Song Ziyu and said, "Child, you are still too young, don't you know that even if there is no Liangshu No. 1, the food produced in the world is enough for everyone on this planet to eat?" ”

Song Ziyu was dumbfounded: "Then why ......?"

"You want to ask why there is still a famine, and there are many countries that starve to death every year, right?" Chen Youping said: "This is because there is capital in this world! ”

"Capital controls the import, export and price of grain, and it can keep the price of grain by putting thousands of tons of grain in warehouses and then letting the hungry die of starvation. They can also dump the grain and hurt the peasants, completely destroying the agriculture of a region. ”

"As long as capital exists, this technology will never come out!" Chen Lao sighed: "My teacher solved a problem that could not be tackled for all generations, but he lost to the hearts of the people. ”

Song Ziyu felt a chill on his scalp when he heard this, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, such a good thing could not be promoted, just because of the greedy selfish desires of human beings.

"I have prepared the seeds for you, enough for five thousand acres of land, I hope you will not fail this technology." Chen Youping finally explained.

Song Ziyu immediately expressed his gratitude and paid the final payment and patent payment.

After receiving the money, Chen Youping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with this money, the institute can last for a while.

For this mysterious gold owner, Chen Youping had a lot of curiosity, and an idea came to mind, he might as well have dates or not.

"I'll tell you, young man!" Chen Youping coughed and said.

"Professor, please." Song Ziyu was checking the seeds when he heard Chen Youping's words, so he raised his head.

Chen Youping said: "Planting Liangshu No. 1 on this polluted land is only a means to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and if you want to cure the stubborn diseases of the land, you need to start from the root." ”

"How can it be cured?" Song Ziyu asked curiously.

Chen Youping said: "It just so happens that I am working on a project related to land improvement...... There is a lack of funds right now, if you can sponsor it......"

"That'...... How much does it cost? Song Ziyu asked.

"It's hard to say, engaging in scientific research is like gambling, you may make a lot of money, or you may lose everything." Chen Youping said: "There are seven or eight million in the first phase of the study, which should be able to be completed. ”

Song Ziyu stopped eating on the spot.

Seven or eight million!

I can get a hair out of it.
