The third floor of the Science Research Center is divided into two sections: the Plant Laboratory and the Seed Gene Bank.

The elevator doors opened, and the first thing you saw was the laboratory.

The white hatch is thick and technological, sealed and resistant, like an ancient impregnable wall, able to withstand extreme weather conditions and isolate from the outside environment, creating a space of its own that is not disturbed by anyone.

Through the translucent glass wall, Yu Siming saw the clean and tidy experimental area inside the laboratory, as well as the high-end equipment placed on the countertop, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

He couldn't help but step forward, leaning on the outside of the glass and looking inside, not caring about the image of a research genius at all.

Yu Siming originally thought that Huajianji would be a private botanical garden, and when the laboratory had just been built, it would be good to be able to complete basic equipment such as plant root scanners, fluorescence solid microscopes, ultraviolet-visible photometers, and portable photosynthesis measuring instruments.

After all, high-precision experimental equipment, especially core high-end equipment and instruments, often cost more than one million, and the cost of preparing a complete set is close to 10 million!

Without the support of national scientific research funds, who has such strong financial resources?

However, at this time, what was presented in front of him was a full set of high-end equipment and instruments, which included all kinds of basic and non-basic instruments, which can only be seen in national laboratories, and there was more than one set!

He didn't know exactly how many sets, but there were at least three from his field of vision.

Three sets of ......

According to the market price, it is 30 million to base -

And this is only the cost of the instrument, not including the construction cost of the sterile operation room, the independent operation bench and the laboratory.

Rao is Yu Siming's great work that has seen the exhibition greenhouse, and he can't help but be amazed by the high-end and complete configuration of the laboratory.

Ye Han thoughtfully gave the other party time to calm down, and then said, "Let's go and have a look first." ”

Yu Siming retracted his gaze, trying his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Okay." ”

The intelligent identification system at the hatch recognized Ye Han's face and fingerprint, and an electronic voice sounded in his ears: "The identity verification is correct, welcome to the Flower Set Plant Laboratory." ”

The white hatch automatically moved to the sides, and after the two entered, it closed quickly, so tightly that not a single mosquito could fly in.

Yu Siming looked around, and this time he saw the whole picture of the laboratory.

The rows of laboratory benches are clean and tidy, the lockers are carefully sorted, and all items and instruments are arranged according to the movement of the human body without any adjustment.

There are one, two, and three instruments on the test bench...... There are five sets of precision high-end instruments!

The amount of assets spent is an absolute astronomical amount.

Yu Siming took a deep breath and couldn't wait to step forward to carefully check the models and accuracy of these instruments.

These instruments are more complete and complete than when he saw through the glass, and the categories of microscopes alone are: ultra-high resolution fast scanning laser confocal scanning microscope, transmission electron microscope, cryo-scanning electron microscope, fluorescence upright microscope, fluorescence inverted microscope, fluorescence upright microscope, ultra-depth of field digital microscope......

There were two of them that he hadn't even seen before.

Look at the labels and categories above an instrument

, Yu Siming always felt that he seemed to have some impressions.

He searched in his mind and quickly found the source.

As recently as last June, researchers from the same team mentioned it.

At that time, this instrument had just been developed and marketed, and it used the most advanced plasma emission spectroscopy technology, and the effect was more than 50% better than before.

However, due to the high cost of research and development and the exclusive technology patent, the price is extremely high, and his research institute did not introduce it.

I didn't expect to see you here.

The excitement in Yu Siming's heart surged layer by layer, and he looked at these instruments one by one, feeling that his cognition was refreshed again.

In just half a day, he has been shocked twice by the Flower Collection.

Yu Siming couldn't help but glance at Ye Han beside him.

This incredibly young director has a more far-sighted vision than other institutes in building a laboratory, and is willing to spend huge sums of money on plant research, and has an amazing boldness.

Under her leadership, Huajian will surely become the premier botanical garden in China.

And if he can work in such an environment-

That would be what he had always dreamed of.

……

After seeing the instruments in the outer area of the laboratory, the two visited the internal aseptic operation room, plant tissue culture room and seedling test area one after another.

Every place made Yu Siming feel incredible, and all of them achieved extremely high accuracy for artificially controlled temperature, humidity, light, climate, water and soil.

Seeds or seedlings are cultivated and raised in such an environment, how can the survival rate not be high?

And what shocked him the most from the bottom of his heart was the intelligent control center located in the central area.

The intelligent system connects all instruments and experimental areas, and automatically uploads research data and plant samples to the database to share information. And diagnose possible errors in the experimental process, and make probabilistic predictions of scientific research results, so as to greatly save scientific research time.

At the same time, it has an extremely advanced cloud platform and data center.

Powerful enough to search a global database, with the exception of confidential information for patent protection, any plant-related questions can be answered here.

It also sorts and values the information found, avoiding wasting time in redundant data searches.

Yu Siming tried the search function three times, but I don't know if it was his illusion, there must be the part he wants in the top two pieces of information.

It's so convenient and efficient.

He couldn't help but sigh that the development of big data has reached such an amazing level, and the degree of intelligence is beyond imagination.

Ye Han: "......"

This is probably not what current big data can do.

Fortunately, botany researchers are not computer science experts and don't think much about it.

After the visit, Ye Han asked with a smile, "Dr. Yu, what do you think of this laboratory?" ”

Yu Siming tried his best to stay calm, but his voice unconsciously let out a trace of trill: "It's perfect, comparable to a national laboratory." ”

Before he came, he never imagined that a private botanical garden would have such a high standard of laboratory.

All equipment and instruments are state-of-the-art and precise

The degree and sensitivity are extremely high, the operation room and the culture room are well controlled, and it has an intelligent central system and a huge retrieval function, which is completely beyond his imagination.

"That's good."

After the certification of this doctor of botany from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ye Han was completely relieved.

After the construction of the laboratory, Ye Han was actually a little worried about whether the printed instrument of W04 was consistent with the current equipment model.

But now it seems that these concerns are unfounded.

The other party reproduces it perfectly, which not only maintains the current level, but also uses technology to bring convenience, which is the best state at the moment.

Opposite the lab is the seed gene bank.

The seed bank is of great significance, it is the Noah's Ark of plants, and it plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining the diversity of species.

The world's largest seed bank lies beneath the Arctic permafrost in Svalbard, Norway, where an ice-sealed cellar holds more than 1 million "backup" samples of plant seeds.

These seeds originate from more than 200 countries and regions in the world and are known as the "Doomsday Seed Bank". ①

Many countries have similar seed banks in case they are needed.

The preservation of seeds requires a low temperature environment, and it can only be stored for a long time in an environment below minus 18 degrees.

Before they are stored, they must go through a series of special treatment methods such as drying, cleaning, and checking the activity, and then store the samples in a low-temperature environment underground after confirming that they are in good condition, so that the seeds can be preserved for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Stored seeds need to be germinated every few years to keep them alive so that they don't lose their viability when they are actually used.

Ye Han and Yu Siming came to the door of the seed gene bank.

It's a fully enclosed space, with a heavy white hatch that blocks everything from peering inside.

Yu Siming wrapped his coat tightly.

At the beginning of January, the temperature outside drops to 5-8°C, and the temperature gradually cools, but this cold is nothing compared to the freezing of below -18 degrees.

Such a severe cold, even just getting close will make your teeth click and click.

Yu Siming seemed to have felt the cold air behind the hatch, and rubbed his hands without a trace: "We expect to stay inside for a while, do you want to wear a cold-proof suit?" ”

Ye Han smiled slightly: "No." It's not cold inside. ”

Not cold?

minus 20 degrees Celsius yet

Cold?

Or does it not need to be kept for that long time, just twenty or thirty years?

Just thinking about it, the hatch recognized Ye Han's identity and slowly opened it in front of the two.

After opening it, Yu Siming felt an absolute shock, an unforgettable picture.

His constricted pupils reflected a huge layer of ice several meters away, thick and hard, translucent with a sense of transparency like ice crystals, and for a moment, he felt as if he had arrived in a world of ice and snow in the polar regions.

It is like a huge glacier made up of countless ice surfaces, reaching from the ground to the ceiling of more than 5 meters, and then spreading along the surrounding area, with a thick layer of ice as far as the eye can see, stretching from the entrance to a depth of more than 20 meters.

There are neat cracks and gaps in the middle that allow people to pass through and allow them to go deeper inside to store the seeds.

However, from Yu Siming's point of view, the huge glacier that covers all the space in front of him is bottomless? ()"Come[]#看最新章节#完整章节 (), like a beast that chooses to devour people, is waiting for him with its mouth wide open.

Yu Siming swallowed his throat and looked up at the thick glacier around him.

Everything is so unbelievable.

No matter how he imagined it, he would never have imagined that the seed bank would be like this after it was opened.

Completely beyond his knowledge.

The thermometer above the ice showed a temperature of -20°C, and he realized that it wasn't cold.

The cold temperatures were frozen inside the ice, and did not affect the outside temperature in the slightest.

Tens of thousands of 'glass bottles' are stored in the thick ice, labelled and numbered separately, and simply click on the corresponding number on the central control system and the bottles are automatically ejected and discharged through the individual outlets along the holes inside.

At that time, put the processed seeds in it, extract it and put it back in.

The opposite laboratory has a complete set of seed treatment equipment, which stores diluted plant nutrient solution to keep the seeds alive.

Yu Siming stood motionless in place, and it took a while before he stepped forward to check on this natural cold storage.

These ice... Is it really ice?

Or is it a simulated environment?

He still felt very unreal.

Yu Siming touched it with his hand, and in an instant he felt an endless chill spreading along his fingertips, cold, extremely cold, as if he could freeze his fingers in the next second.

He jerked his hand back.

It's true.

But why can't you feel the cold temperature?

Ye Han calmly explained: "These ice layers are actually the same principle as the freezer, but they are made into the original ecology. However, the technology used is indeed the latest 'cryopolymeric ionic structure technology', which is still in the initial stage of testing. ”

She made it up.

But with a calm tone, it gives a sense of convincing.

“... I see. Yu Siming whispered: "It's new technology." ”

He had his own doubts, but first, he was not a scientist in this area; Second, the experimental equipment just now is also a new technology that has just been put on the market, and some of it has not even been touched by him.

Lessons from the past, the current explanation seems plausible.

It's just that the seed bank in front of him once again refreshed his cognition.

Since coming to the Flower Collection, it has been a process of constantly refreshing cognition.

As a doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a genius in research, Yu Siming felt that he was so lonely for the first time.

He took one last look at the 'glass bottles' hidden in the thick glacier and felt that no barrier would be able to surpass this natural cold store.

*

The two took the elevator to leave the Science Research Museum, and Yu Siming was still recalling the scene he had just seen in his mind.

In addition to shock, there is also excitement and yearning, and all kinds of flavors are mixed together to form a belief, that is-

He must enter the Flower Set.

Yu Siming took the initiative to hand over his resume and a copy of some of his research results, and Ye Han looked at the list of awards and academic research papers above, and had a new research ability

().

He is a rare talent.

Wang Yun also helped Ye Han make detailed inquiries and research on his personal quality, comprehensive ability, team leadership, stability, income, family and other aspects, and consulted Dr. Hou on some related issues.

According to the information obtained, the two agreed that Yu Siming was qualified for the position of scientific research project leader.

At the end of the discussion, Ye Han discussed with the scientific research talent based on the other party's previous salary and the current market salary level: "Dr. Yu, our ability is obvious to all, and we have decided to hire."

The salary plan is: 500,000 basic salary + 200,000 project bonus, a total of 700,000 annual salary, I don't know what you think of this salary? ”

Yu Siming was really stunned when he heard this salary.

The annual salary of the W City Research Institute he originally planned to go to was only 300,000, but now it has more than tripled!

The annual salary in the previous job was high, but the cost of living abroad was correspondingly high, so in this comparison, it is not much different from before.

And the environment, experimental equipment, and research on rare plant species here are far beyond the previous environment, and he can still lead projects independently, where can he find such a position?

It made him even more determined to come here.

Yu Siming immediately said, "Yes." ”

Wang Yun and Ye Han looked at each other and smiled, and Hua Jianji finally recruited suitable scientific research talents.

If it weren't for Dr. Hou's recommendation, they wouldn't know where to find such an experienced person with a proven track record of leading scientific research projects and outstanding academic ability.

Be sure to thank each other when the time comes.

......

Yu Siming returned home with a smile on his face, and Sister-in-law Wang was startled when she looked at him.

She has been here for two or three months, and she has never seen Mr. Yu in such a good mood, so she is really a little unaccustomed.

What good things are going on?

When I left in the morning, my face was still a little gloomy, and it became like this in just one morning, which was surprising.

As soon as Yu Siming got home, he contacted Dr. Hou to express his gratitude.

Dr. Hou was also happy for him, and the two chatted for a few words and asked about the working environment: "I heard from Director Ye that their laboratory has just been built, and the basic equipment is available, right?"

Don't worry about this, anyway, it's the initial stage, just add it slowly in the future. ”

Yu Siming's tone was smiling: "The equipment in the laboratory has been prepared. ”

Dr. Hou paused for a moment and asked, "What do you mean, the whole set?" A complete set of high-end equipment? ”

Yu Siming said 'um', and did not reveal that it was 5 sets of equipment, which would definitely cause an uproar.

"It is worthy of being the head of Ye Yuan, and he is generous." Dr. Hou sighed, "We don't have any of them here, it's all mixed and matched." ”

A set of tens of millions, scientific research funds are also very tight, how can they all be replaced with high-end.

Several of them have a high depreciation rate, and they have not been replaced.

"By the way, how is the salary over there, it should be okay?"

After all, he recommended the past, and he also hoped that his friend could get a better salary.

Yu Siming couldn't say that it was more than twice the size of the research institute, so he only said that he would invite him to dinner.

As soon as he heard this, Dr. Hou knew that the salary was definitely not low.

Even he was a little envious.

With high-end instruments, the salary is high, and the environment is so good.

But he also knew that Yu Siming had outstanding ability and deserved to be treated like this.

*

With the head of the research group, the recruitment of researchers is much smoother.

In addition to Yu Siming, a Ph.D. in the 'Root Flower' category was recruited to be responsible for the research of perennial herbaceous plants that bloom every year. He is not as experienced as the former, but he has also worked in the institute and is very capable.

The six researchers are graduate students in botany, which is not so demanding.

Now it is a research team of 8 people, two groups of 1+3 models, and Yu Siming is the general leader.

At present, it is just the flowering period of comet orchid and orchid, and Yu Siming's group has begun to study the relevant information of low-temperature pollination of Darwin orchid, which is assisted by the powerful retrieval function and error correction and prediction function of the intelligent system, and the progress is rapid.

Cai Jiayan's group first established a seed gene bank.

The seeds of the royal lotus, the seeds of the lotus and other plants were preserved in the best samples and sealed under the iceberg.

Ye Han and his employees have not been idle, they have been screening plant photos, collecting photographic works and paintings, and creating a photo wall and plant-related science popularization.

It is expected that the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Science Museum will be opened in two weeks.
