I save the world by farming with science

Chapter 57

After reaching an agreement with the little mouse, Qiao Qiao, Yan Xi returned to Professor Chen's side.

Professor Chen Dai Yanxi went to the seed storage, showed Yanxi the catalog of the gene bank, and asked Yanxi what seeds he wanted.

Yanxi gave Professor Chen a list of the seeds she wanted.

In this place where civilization and ecology are extremely similar to the earth, many edible fruits and vegetables are also similar, except for the different names.There are even "super crops" in the gene pool that have been continuously improved by humans.

Not surprisingly, Yan Xi saw a familiar word in the first line of the gene pool table of contents——

"Hybrid rice?"

"It was a new rice seed integrated by Mr. Morrissey a hundred years ago. The yield can reach [-] catties per mu. However, Mr. Morrises kept saying that this was not his research result, but a research by a Mr. Yuan. It came out," Professor Chen told Yan Xi about that period of history, "It's a pity that a hundred years ago, because of the great war, the scientific research community was wiped out, and many research materials were missing. The name of Mr. Yuan has no way to be verified. "

"That's it..." Yan Xi looked at the line of "hybrid rice" written in Yixin characters on the gene bank catalogue, and felt emotional.

Sow fields wherever you go. The Mauricius who was more than 100 years ago is a compatriot of our nation, so he shouldn’t have to run away!
Seeing that Yan Xi was so interested, the professor asked a question. "Ms. Yan knows about hybrid rice?"

Yan Xi smiled slightly, "In our place, there is no one who doesn't know this."

Hybrid rice has fed nearly a billion people.In her country, even if she has never eaten it, she has heard the name, and of course the grandfather named Yuan.

"Where are you?" Professor Chen became interested, "I don't know where Ms. Ye is from? From the accent, it doesn't look like someone from the Empire."

"East," Yan Xi replied, "the east is far, far away."

Seeing that Yan Xi only said Dongfang, Professor Chen knew that the other party didn't want to say anything more, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the list in his hand and frowned slightly.

In Yanxi's list, besides some common vegetarian dishes, there are also some medicinal plants, and those medicines... are all used to treat genetic imbalances!

"Is it for your companion?" Professor Chen reminded with dim eyes, "He has already fallen!"

Yan Xi knew that Professor Chen had guessed the purpose of using the plants, and did not hide anything, "I know that the genes in his body are out of control, but it has not reached the point where it is hopeless."

The natives of this world abused immature genetic technology and turned themselves into monsters.But Goddess of Luck seems to be particularly fond of them, because their genetic technology is not perfect, but they have left a way out for them.

If artificial genes are fused and completely transformed, it will be called recovery.

Yan Xi had read the research materials left over from the factory before. Those scientists encountered a bottleneck before they left the factory. If they break through the bottleneck, it may be said that the aborigines of this world have already found the medicine to control the out-of-control genes.

"Are these plants in the gene bank?" Yan Xi asked.

"Yes, but..." Professor Chen's eyes flickered, but he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Yan Xi was puzzled.

"It's nothing," Professor Chen smiled, thinking to himself, a little girl, I'm afraid she can't make anything, and she will naturally give up when she fails. He doesn't have to worry too much about this child, and said all those messy things It will only make the child panic. "I'll find you seeds."

With that said, Professor Chen opened the sealed door of the seed bank that could hold several tons of explosives, and found Yan Xi the seeds she wanted.

Two full boxes!
"Are there so many?" Yan Xi looked at the seeds Professor Chen gave her, and thought that the people in this gene bank are really generous.

"The seeds stored in the gene bank have a lifespan. Even if you don't give them to you, the time limit for these seeds is almost up." Professor Chen patted the aluminum seed box, "But these are not given to you for free, I want to collect them paid."

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before he whispered something. "I have no money……"

Professor Chen laughed, "I don't need your money. What I want is that after you grow the plants, you will cultivate new seeds for me and send them over."

"Send it here?" Yan Xi repeated these three words and asked in confusion. "Aren't you leaving?"

From the conversation between Professor Chen and the others just now, Yan Xi knew more or less that the Morrises family they talked about would no longer provide assistance to this gene bank. This gene bank has been struggling for ten years. After losing the aid, only I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain.

She had sighed before that this gene pool is a pity.

"I won't leave! If no one guards this place, it will be deserted immediately." Professor Chen looked at the heavy sealed door with an unusually firm look in his eyes. "This gene bank has been established for a hundred years. In this seed bank, it is the efforts of several generations of scientists. It stores not only seeds, but also the fire of human beings."

"But, you have been abandoned by the country, haven't you?" Yan Xi said lightly, as if reminding.

Professor Chen's expression froze, "You... know what?"

"I don't know anything, but I know that your situation is very bad! These should not be treated by a national scientific research institution."

In fact, if you think about it with your brain, you can know that the germplasm gene bank is a national scientific research institution. It was destroyed, and by whom?And who are these scientists hiding in this underground sub-library?
Who can quietly destroy a national-level scientific research library, and even let these scientists hide in this dark underground, not daring to show their faces? !
I'm afraid... it's the upper echelon of this empire!

In the silence between Professor Chen and Yan Xi, some things were tacitly understood.

"Ms. Yan, you guessed it right..." Professor Chen's voice was hoarse. "Ten years ago, our main library was destroyed, and all the seeds in the library were destroyed. We had to retreat to the auxiliary library. Only when we got here did we find that all the people who guarded the library were dead."

"died?"

"He starved to death." Professor Chen was laughing, full of misery in the ridiculousness. "At that time, it was the so-called "Nutritional Reform". Our life was very difficult. They have made no secret of their suppression. Later, our main library was attacked, and we were too busy to take care of ourselves, and we had no ability to support The people here in the sub-library provided supplies and food, and the scientists and workers guarding the library starved to death."

That was the most difficult time for the Ark gene bank. Everyone was terrified. They were afraid of death, but they were even more afraid that the gene bank, which had gathered the painstaking efforts of several generations of scientists, would be completely destroyed. "Actually, at that time, there were nearly four tons of seeds, a quarter of which can be used as food."

"The supreme commander of the deputy warehouse, a scientist who studied peanuts, starved to death on his desk, and was guarding a lot of rice when he died of starvation."

"Staying in a warehouse that stores several tons of grain seeds, you would rather starve to death than even think about eating a little bit, don't you think it's pedantic and ridiculous?" Professor Chen smiled, but the desolation and grief in the laughter couldn't be understood. cover up.

Yan Xi silently shook his head.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, watching a group of people guarding several tons of food, but being able to starve themselves to death, is a very ridiculous thing.

but!

What these scientists are guarding is not food, but the kindling of human beings!It is the hope of whether people will have enough to eat in the future.

Under extreme hunger, people will become crazy and lose their minds. This is human nature!
But these people, relying on their beliefs, forcibly suppressed their crazy nature.
