The Noahsian world has doubled the value of top geologists because of its geographical environment, and it seems that it is extremely scarce, but generous, return-free scientific research investors are also hard to find.

Coupled with the humorous and apologetic attitude of the 'gold master', it was not easy for Kang Neji, who had vented his anger, to continue to accuse Zhang Lisheng with a cold face, so he could only say weakly: "Hey, in fact, those shrubs are your private property, and it is your freedom to deal with them."

What I just said was too much, and it is me, Dr. Zhang, who should apologize. ”

"You're too serious, Professor. The young man smiled and shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn't care, and then asked, "What have you found in the past few days of research?"

"I found a lot of interesting little problems that were not easy to find," Conegnère immediately became excited about the academic field, "this oasis is not large, but the vegetation cover density is 23 percent greater than the average oasis of the same size, and of course this increase is within a reasonable range."

But a closer look reveals that most of the degraded wastelands in the oases have been abandoned for less than a decade, and many of the surface soils still have dry seeds.

Not only that, but the shrubs here are short, but they have all the characteristics that are unique to tall trees, such as large leaves and strong phototropism..."

Listening with interest to the old man's endless exposition of his findings, and finally waiting for him to finish his more and more excited speech, Zhang Lisheng asked, "There are so many discoveries, what is your conclusion, professor?"

"I don't have any conclusions yet, Doctor, but I want to ask you. What are your thoughts on these issues from a biologist's point of view?" asked Cornegie, unashamedly.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I'm not used to making judgments based on 'material' provided by others, and I don't have any idea of anything unless I personally make a systematic analysis of the oasis's ecosystem, especially the animals that inhabit it. Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said.

"Oh, it seems that you have a stereotypical attitude towards your field of expertise that young scientists rarely have, Doctor, which is not trendy, but I like it.

It seems that my assessment of your scientific attitude just now is wrong. "Rejected by the youth. Instead, there was an appreciative look on Connegi's face. Zhang Lisheng winked childlike and asked, "Since you don't have any new inspiration for me, where are the breeding experts, and the good seeds you 'bought' from the earth at a great price?" I've been looking forward to it for days?"

The Earth Realm. The crops cultivated by modern humans are derived from naturally evolved species. However, in order to pursue high-yield, drought-resistant, and disaster-resistant attributes, scientific cross-domestication and even genetic optimization are also necessary processes.

The same planting area. For the same crop, the yield of domesticated and optimized seeds and natural seeds can vary by up to 10 times, and the adaptability of improved varieties to harsh environments is far higher than that of natural species.

In comparison, the value of an excellent crop seed is self-evident, and it is not easy to get this kind of optimized and improved seeds, which often requires a scientific team to work tirelessly for more than ten or even decades and a little luck to do it.

The long cycle, huge investment and uncertainty of the results make the cultivation of improved varieties the most basic, important and profitable business in a mature agricultural economic system.

The giant farms and agricultural companies that have bred the improved seeds will never sell the original good seeds, but will monopolize the market by planting seeds with genetic defects that will continue to reduce the yield drastically after one generation.

Over time, from raising cattle and sheep to pastures to soybeans and rice, which are the most widely eaten by humans;

From the nutritious sweet carrot to the extremely sour but vitamin-rich lemon, every crop that is widely promoted in human society must have a good seed as a yield support.

In the United States of America, where the agricultural system is the most complete and the most productive on the planet, the best seeds of almost all crops can be found, and in peacetime, these seeds are closely protected in the breeding bases, and the value of each original seed is incalculable.

But when the war destroyed the economic system and social order of these vast and sparsely populated agricultural states, these primitive and improved varieties were naturally lost to the people and became no longer so far away.

For the wealthy who want to get their hands on them, as long as they take the necessary methods and pay a sufficient price, it is not a dream to get their hands on them, and the easiest way is to organize armed forces to buy or rob them in depth.

Hearing the teasing meaning in Connegi's tone, Zhang Lisheng was stunned by the old man's changeable and eccentric personality, paused for a moment, and said truthfully: "It has been five days since the expedition to California came back, and it has brought back sixty-seven varieties of good breeds, and the breeding experts are distinguishing their authenticity, according to the progress, it will probably be completed this afternoon."

The Mongolian expedition returned to New Washington A this morning, bringing back thirty-two varieties of seeds that you won't see until three days later, Professor. ”

"The federal Patent Act is not invalid, Doctor, many of the owners and ranchers of agricultural companies in California and Mondana have fled to the Noah's realm, and you are not afraid to go to court for such a brazen violation of their rights and interests?"

"I have countless gold and the best team of lawyers as weapons, do you think I will be afraid to confront those broken 'farmers' in court?" Zhang Lisheng asked indifferently.

"Very good, Dr. Zhang, I like your spirit of 'going forward' for the sake of scientific research, and I am especially admirable that you understand that morality is not so important in the face of truth.

It's a pleasure to work for you, please call me Cognex in the future. The old man smiled and expressed his approval.

"Oh, Kang Neige, you are such an unexpectedly interesting scientist," Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth speechless for a moment regarding Kang Naiji's changeable attitude, and said with a dumb smile after a few seconds: "Then please call me Li Sheng directly, I have a hunch that our future cooperation will be very pleasant." ”

"Let's hope that's going to happen, oh, I've lost too much time chatting, I'm going to get back to work. Kang Nexus showed a conscious expression, abruptly ended the conversation with Zhang Lisheng, and returned to work.

When he walked into the simple laboratory built next to the ditch with his assistants and students, he suddenly turned back to the young man and added, "Li Sheng, don't forget to send him and the improved varieties to my laboratory after you meet the breeding experts."

I need them to be inspired, don't forget. After finishing speaking, he walked into the board room without waiting for Zhang Lisheng to answer.

"It's really a freewheeling character, I've never met this kind of person..."Looking at the old man's disappearing back, the young man muttered, and as soon as the words fell, he heard the faint sound of the helicopter propeller turning in the distance.

A few minutes later, a large eight-seater transport helicopter stared at the scorching desert sun, bringing hurricanes from far and near, and slowly descended on the edge of the sand.

Not every scientist's personality is different from ordinary people's eccentricities, at least the six breeding experts who jumped out of the helicopter seemed very normal when they talked to Zhang Lisheng, and the oldest of them, Dr. Jack Niro, who brought a letter from Lavin's family and son for the expedition team for the youth, even gave Zhang Lisheng a few words of comfort with a heavy expression when he handed the letter to Zhang Lisheng.

Among the 67 varieties of forage, 21 soybeans, 10 kinds of cotton, 17 kinds of corn, 5 kinds of green beans, and 3 kinds of tomatoes, there is a total of one forage, two kinds of soybeans, one kind of cotton, and one kind of green beans.

The proportion of close to one-tenth is not too high, but it has made Zhang Lisheng barely satisfied, and after instructing Charlie to immediately start the newly built breeding center, the young man personally took the breeding experts to meet with Conelly, and was busy until the evening before leaving the oasis and driving back to the 'New Washington A'.

It was already past eight o'clock at night when I drove all the way back to the city, walked through the streets for a long time, and parked my car in the community parking lot near my mother's residence.

Under the starlight, Zhang Lisheng was blowing a gust of evening breeze, and as if no one was around, he walked past a pile of homeless people lying on the public lawn, and when he returned home, he found that the whole family was waiting for him.

The reason for such great expectations is not on himself, as soon as he entered the door, he handed the handwritten letter of the Laven family to Su Luo, and said casually: "Uncle Laven, this is a letter brought back by the Stephento expedition, I personally talked to Captain Adolf of the expedition this afternoon, and he said that the situation in Robbins City, Montene, is not bad.

There are also police and military in the city to maintain basic order, and Robinson's Arrow is not the kind of civilian armed organization that particularly advocates force, so Stephen's situation is not particularly dangerous. ”

Su Luo took the heavy letter, hugged the young man with emotion, patted him on the back, and whispered in a deep voice, "Xie Luxie." Seeing this scene, Lili on the side had red eyes inexplicably, but gently pulled her husband's arm away, and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Su Luo, you read what is written on Stephen's letter to the children, and I will take Li Sheng to the restaurant for dinner."

Baby, you must be hungry, today's dinner is grilled pork chops, and I left a large piece of hind leg meat..."

A few minutes later, the children of the Laven family sat around the carpet in front of the sofa in the living room, craned their necks, and listened to their father's thoughts in a deep tone about the thoughts of their brother who was far away from the world's realm, and Zhang Lisheng was munching on pork chops at the table not far away, thinking about his astonishing discovery in the oasis.
