Chapter 879 Sericulture in Greenhouse
"Sister, don't say that. The money for the rope is the money for the rope, and the money for the silkworm eggs is the money for the silkworm eggs. These are two different things." Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Okay, brother, I will help you find silkworm eggs, but it may take half a day. You don't have to wait here. You can come again tomorrow morning."
It is not easy to find silkworm eggs. This eldest sister didn't want Zhao Zhongyao to wait here all the time, so he had to come back the next day.
Zhao Zhongyao heard what the elder sister said, and said again: "Okay! I'll come back tomorrow." Zhao Zhongyao also felt that he was busy with his work and couldn't wait here all the time. It would be too late to drive over tomorrow. It won’t be long.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao returned to the base after discussing with the elder sister.
In the next morning, Zhao Zhongyao drove to the elder sister's house by himself.
After seeing this eldest sister, Zhao Zhongyao looked at her and asked: "Sister, have you found the wild silkworm eggs." The eldest sister looked at Zhao Zhongyao and smiled: "Fortunately, after searching for a long time, I finally found it. Some, I'll show it to you."
The eldest sister went back to the house and took out a small branch from a piece of rag. Then came to Zhao Zhongyao.
"Let's take a look! These are wild silkworm eggs." The elder sister, speaking, put this small branch in front of Zhao Zhongyao.
Zhao Zhongyao took the branch and looked at it, but at first he saw nothing. It feels like there is nothing on this branch.
"Sister, what's on this branch! How come I feel that there is nothing." Zhao Zhongyao looked at the branch in his hand and felt that there was nothing.
"Big brother, you have to look carefully. These silkworm eggs are very small. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see them at all." This eldest sister, seeing that Zhao Zhongyao can't see the silkworm eggs on this branch, she So he walked to Zhao Zhongyao again and showed him.
After the elder sister's guidance, Zhao Zhongyao saw something small like the tip of a needle on one side of this small branch. These things are too small, if you don't look carefully, they are really hard to find.
"Big sister, these little things." Although Zhao Zhongyao is not a biologist, he has seen some silkworm eggs. It doesn't feel like the silkworm eggs in front of them. They are so small that people can't see them.
"Yes! These are wild silkworm eggs." The eldest sister said, looking at Zhao Zhongyao again.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the eldest sister again and said, "Big sister, how come this wild silkworm eggs are not so different from the silkworm eggs! I have seen some silkworm eggs before, but they are not so small. Although they are not very large. , But also easy to see."
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the eldest sister smiled again and said: "The wild silkworm and the silkworm are of course different. The silkworm is cultivated by the wild silkworm. In order to increase the yield of silkworm silk, the silkworm must grow bigger. Some. But the wild silkworm is half smaller than the silkworm originally! You said that the wild silkworm larvae are half smaller than the silkworm larvae, so how big their eggs will be."
The eldest sister saw that Zhao Zhongyao didn't understand why these wild silkworm eggs were so small, so she explained it again.
After Zhao Zhongyao listened, he understood what was going on. But he still doesn't understand why the silk of wild silkworm is so much stronger than that of domestic silkworm.
So, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the eldest sister again and said, "Why is the silk of the wild silkworm stronger than the silk of the domestic silkworm!"
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the eldest sister said: "I am not very clear about this issue. I think it may be because the silkworms spit too much. The more the quantity, the quality will naturally decrease. But the wild silkworms spit. The silk is less. The quantity is high, and the quality is high. Also, wild silkworms live in the wild, and they must make their cocoons very strong. Otherwise, just let other animals eat them. How do you breed your own next generation."
After listening to this elder sister, Zhao Zhongyao seemed to understand something. He looked at the eldest sister again and said, "Okay, what the eldest sister said is very reasonable, maybe this is the reason. Well, you take this one hundred dollars, and I will take the silkworm eggs."
As Zhao Zhongyao said, he took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the elder sister.
When this elder sister saw that Zhao Zhongyao was going to give her money again, she was a little embarrassed. He immediately looked at Zhao Zhongyao generously and said: "Big brother, no need, you have already given me two hundred yuan, you can take this money yourself!"
"Sister, don't say that. These silkworm eggs are so small. When you are looking for them, you must have taken a lot of effort. How can I make you work hard for nothing!"
Zhao Zhongyao thought that the silkworm eggs that this elder sister found were so small. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it when it is brought to people. In this case, it is conceivable that this eldest sister must have taken a lot of effort to find these things in the mountains.
"Big brother, what's the hard work! We often work in the mountains, we are used to it. This hard work is nothing at all."
This eldest sister is also telling the truth, like their rural women, how can they be like women in the city, and don't make much effort. Rural areas and women, like their men, have to go to the mountains and fields to work frequently.
"Sister, no matter what, this is your reward for labor, so you can take it! Your mountain village is really poor! If I have the opportunity, I will help you get rid of poverty and become rich."
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao suddenly had a strange idea. He was thinking that if they succeeded in their research this time, if they want to develop some new type of body armor, then there must be a lot of'biosteel'. .
And to produce a lot of ‘biosteel’. This requires a large number of wild silkworms. But if you want to breed a large number of wild silkworms, you need the help of the local people. If they can help together, it is tantamount to giving them a chance to work. In this way, they can make money without having to travel far.
When Zhao Zhongyao said so, this eldest sister was of course very happy. But she didn't take Zhao Zhongyao's words seriously, feeling that he might have said a kind word. It's not that I really want to help them get rid of poverty and become rich!
"Really! Thank you very much, brother. Oh, I forgot, I heard that you are the director of the Jianghai Machinery Factory! In this way, you can really help us get rid of poverty and become rich. Here, On behalf of our villagers, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the eldest sister didn't care at first, and thought that Zhao Zhongyao's words might be just a kind words. But on another thought, Zhao Zhongyao's identity was the director of the Jianghai Machinery Factory not far from her village. She felt again that it was not impossible for Zhao Zhongyao to say this.
"Sister, don't worry! Our Jianghai Machinery Factory will continue to expand in scale, and will continue to grow and grow. At that time, if some workers are needed, we will also let young people in your village work. At that time, You can have a formal job just like the people in the city."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that what he had to do was to speed up the country's economic construction. Improving people's livelihood and improving people's living standards is the goal of building a country.
The purpose of all our work is not to want the people to live a happy life. And how to live a happy life, first of all, is to give the people a job that can make money to support their families, so that they can safely rely on work to make money to support their families.
This eldest sister, seeing what Zhao Zhongyao said very seriously, of course she was also very moved. She looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, "Thank you so much. With your words, it is almost time for the whole village to have a good life."
"Sister, you don't have to be so polite, this is what we should do." Zhao Zhongyao also said politely.
After that, Zhao Zhongyao said some kind words to the eldest sister, and drove the car again, with this small branch, and returned to base 308.
After Zhao Zhongyao returned to the base, he showed this small branch to Liu Feng.
When Liu Feng first saw this small branch, his expression was the same as Zhao Zhongyao. Because he is also on this small root and can't see anything. I don't know, what is the use of Zhao Zhongyao giving him a small branch.
"Liu Feng, look what's on this branch." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng and said.
Liu Feng held the small branch that Zhao Zhongyao gave him. He looked at it, but couldn't understand it. There seemed to be nothing on this small branch. What is there. He couldn't see it at all.
"There are some small wild silkworm eggs on this. Take a good look at it yourself, right on the side of this small branch." Zhao Zhongyao saw that Liu Feng couldn't see these small silkworm eggs, so he gave him some pointers. .
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Feng looked at this small branch carefully. On the side of this small branch, he finally found some small particles. These tiny particles are as small as the tip of a needle. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see them.
"Are these little things!" Liu Feng looked at the tiny particles on this twig, he was also surprised. "Yes, these small particles, they are the silkworm eggs of wild silkworms." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng and said.
Although Liu Feng specializes in biology, he has always been studying silkworms in the study of insects such as silkworms. For this kind of wild silkworms, he really has no research experience.
"Then are we going to hatch these wild silkworm eggs, and then grow them up and let them spin." Liu Feng felt that this is what Zhao Zhongyao wants to do now.
"No, we have to transplant the spider gene into the body of this wild silkworm so that the silk they spit out has the strength of spider silk. Although the silk spit out by these wild silkworms is already very strong, it has not yet reached it. What we require is the strength of the'bio-steel' that can be used for body armor."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that the silk of this wild silkworm was very strong, but it had not yet reached the strength of the ‘biosteel’ that Zhao Zhongyao wanted to study. If you want the silk of this wild silkworm to have the strength of "bio-steel" as he said, it is necessary to use genetically modified technology for this wild silkworm, so that the silk spit out of this wild silkworm has spider silk. specialty.
"Okay, what Director Zhao said is reasonable, then we will do the next step, and we will definitely study the'biosteel' we want." After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Feng felt very good. reason. Now that they have these wild silkworms, it seems that they are not far from the time when'biosteel' was developed.
In this way, during this period of time, Zhao Zhongyao and Liu Feng worked on transgenic transplantation of these silkworm eggs, and transplanted the spider genes into the wild silkworm eggs. Then, the wild silkworm eggs were hatched into small wild silkworms.
Of course, all this is done in the greenhouse. It's only March and the weather is still relatively cold. After Zhao Zhongyao hatched these wild silkworm eggs, he got them some fresh mulberry leaves.
Because Jianghai City is very close to the sea. Although it belongs to the southern region. But the climate here is affected by the ocean, so it is still relatively cold. In winter here, the mulberry trees on the mountains also lost their leaves.
In order to get some fresh mulberry leaves, Zhao Zhongyao unexpectedly flew to a place further south than Jianghai City by plane, only to find some fresh mulberry leaves. Fortunately, these wild silkworms are very small and don't eat much. A mulberry leaf is enough for it to eat for a few days.
Zhao Zhongyao just picked ten jin of fresh mulberry leaves, enough for these silkworms to grow up.
These wild silkworms live comfortably in the greenhouse, eat fast, and grow fast. In almost a month, these silkworm babies have grown to half the length of the silkworm. Such a size, for wild silkworms, has grown up.
Soon, the bodies of these wild silkworms slowly changed color. It was cyan at first. Slowly it became white, and finally, these wild silkworms all became yellow.
When the body of these wild silkworms changes, they no longer eat mulberry leaves. At first, Liu Feng didn't understand what was going on. Although he had studied silkworm before. But he didn't know much about wild silkworms.
Liu Feng knew that when the silkworm was about to spin silk, it was no longer eating mulberry leaves. But the color of its body hasn't changed much, generally it just becomes slightly whiter.
But now the wild silkworms they raised turned into golden yellow when they grew up, which is a bit strange. For a while, Liu Feng didn't understand whether this change was good or bad.
"Director Zhao, our wild silkworms have all changed color." Liu Feng was the first to see this situation. Because he often takes care of these wild silkworms. As Zhao Zhongyao had other jobs, he would only come to see these small wild silkworms in his spare time. Under normal circumstances, Liu Feng takes care of it.
