"Is there a problem with the breeding of 'Group C Type A Sweet Potato' this time?" Ning Qingyun couldn't help but ask as he was driving to the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory in assistant Fang Yongtang's car.

"Don't worry, it's okay. The problem is not serious. It just might destroy the experimental species originally planted in several nearby fields." Qin Ke said with relief.

The emergency that Wei Xueming called to report was that "group C type a sweet potato" accidentally spread to the greenhouse next door through its well-developed root system, causing another experimental plot originally planted with new hybrid rapeseed to be "contaminated."

"Group A type sweet potato" grew rapidly and occupied a new "territory" in just two or three days, causing a new type of rapeseed that had just been successfully cultivated to wither and have to be cultivated again.

Qin Ke knows this "Group C type A sweet potato" very well. It was cultivated through seven generations of hybridization and is the key generation for the subsequent cultivation of the "new desert sweet potato" because the "new desert sweet potato" has strong vitality and reproductive ability.

inherited from it.

However, the "Group C type A sweet potato" also has great disadvantages. The fruit it produces is only the size of a finger and is inedible at all. Its growth ability is extremely terrible. If it is placed in ordinary soil, it only takes a few days to grow the root system.

Completely filled, and will quickly convert the fertility of the land into its own nutrients. Once the fertility of a certain piece of land is exhausted, it will continue to spread to the surroundings, looking for more fertility - this is the feedback of the "new desert sweet potato"

Land is the complete opposite.

In this sense, "Group C type a sweet potato" is a harmful plant, which will cause great harm to the ecological environment once released.

However, in order to cultivate a "new desert sweet potato", the "Group C type a sweet potato" is a necessary stage. In order to limit its growth, we can only cooperate with the development of a special chemical agent "Group C a liquid" for it, and irrigate it to

It is surrounded by land and requires underground drip irrigation using a special method because its root system can penetrate five meters underground.

Qin Ke repeatedly warned that we must pay attention to the "Group C Type A Sweet Potato", but unexpectedly there was an accident in the laboratory, causing the "Group C Type A Sweet Potato" to spread...

Wei Xueming was well aware of the seriousness of the consequences and did not dare to hide it. He quickly called Qin Ke to report it and asked Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to come over to make judgments and decide how to deal with it.

It was Friday morning, and there was not much traffic on the outskirts of the city, so in about half an hour, the two of them had arrived near the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory.

Now the scale of the lime plant cultivation laboratory has nearly doubled. All the land from nearby farmers has been rented for greenhouse expansion. A new experimental building has also been built to house the expensive plants purchased from domestic and foreign countries.

New experimental equipment - these experimental equipment require meticulous maintenance and a dust-free environment to prevent the growth of dust bacteria from affecting the test results.

A kilometer or two outside the Qing Ning Plant Cultivation Laboratory, a five-story large building has also been built, which is the self-built computer room of Qing Ning Technology.

Because Qing Ning Technology is rich and wealthy, everything is built according to the A-class green environment-friendly computer room standards. The total cost is close to 200 million. Currently, it has built 7788 cabinets, servers, network equipment, access control, monitoring, precision air conditioning, etc.

The equipment is also arriving one after another, and it is estimated that it will be officially put into use early next year at the latest. By then, the artificial intelligence Xiaoguang will have a new "home".

The security team of Qing Ning Technology has fifteen people responsible for the security of the computer room, while the Qing Ning Plant Cultivation Laboratory has even more security guards, with twenty people responsible for security. A tall barbed wire fence surrounds the entire laboratory, and surveillance cameras

Linli.

It is precisely because of the strict security work, meticulous management regulations, and Wei Xueming's seriousness and responsibility that the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory has not had any accidents so far.

This time, an unexpected situation occurred in the internal cultivation experiment.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun arrived at the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory, all the scientific researchers in the laboratory were already gathered in the conference room. Everyone looked nervous and uneasy. Seeing Qin Ke arrive, it was like seeing

They all breathed a sigh of relief like a savior.

Wei Xueming, the person in charge of the laboratory site, said with shame: "Mr. Qin, this is my negligence in arrangement..."

Qin Ke waved his hand: "We will talk about responsibility later. Let us see the scene first."

Soon, Wei Xueming brought Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to the outside of Greenhouse No. 2.

Greenhouse No. 2 was the greenhouse that was later expanded next to Greenhouse No. 1. It was mainly used for cultivation experiments of new desert sweet potatoes.

Qin Ke considered that desert sweet potatoes require more than ten generations of cross-breeding, and it was impossible for him to directly give the most correct breeding plan. He could only give several more likely plans to try one by one based on computational seed science. This made

More greenhouse land is needed.

In order to avoid affecting the cultivation of other new seeds of rice, corn, tomatoes, rapeseed, and wheat, Qin Ke simply asked Qingning Technology CEO Zhou Shutao to find someone to build this new No. 2 greenhouse.

Greenhouse No. 2 covers an area larger than the original Greenhouse No. 1, nearly 10,000 square meters, and is divided into two to three hundred large and small plots, used to cultivate different hybrid sweet potatoes.

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

What happened this time was the plot labeled "Group C A 19" at the junction of Greenhouse No. 1 and Greenhouse No. 2. Originally, the two greenhouses were separated by thick glass and there was also a cement barrier underground.

, it stands to reason that "Group C type A sweet potatoes" cannot break through and spread to the No. 1 greenhouse.

But there happened to be a drainage outlet under the plot of "Group C A Nineteen" that was connected to the No. 1 greenhouse. As a result, the "Group C Type A Sweet Potato" with terrible growth ability forced its roots to spread through this small drainage outlet.

greenhouse, and invaded adjacent plots...

Everyone came to the nearly 30-square-meter plot of "Group C A Nineteen" and saw that the plot was already covered with dense sweet potato vines, so dense that it made people feel chills on their backs.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And through the glass wall, you can see in the No. 1 greenhouse next door. Large sweet potato vines have appeared in the adjacent plot of rapeseed.

Qin Ke made a decision immediately: "Just cut off the branches and leave a few roots. The rest should be poured with chemical liquid to kill them. The next few blocks should also be watered with chemical liquid. No matter what, we can't let it spread anymore. Determine 'C'

After all Group A sweet potatoes are killed, the soil involved will be dug out for soil analysis, and then new soil will be transported and filled."

Wei Xueming nodded while taking notes. This was the best way.

He said bitterly: "It's a pity that the new rapeseed plots next door are planted with new rapeseed. It was the 'Rape No. 7' that was successfully cultivated with great difficulty..."

Currently, the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory is still divided into three groups. The first group is responsible for continuing to conduct in-depth research on the hybridization principles of five crops including tomatoes, wheat, and rapeseed and trying to cultivate new excellent varieties.

The second group is responsible for the development of herbicides, special fertilizers and special chemicals.

The third group is naturally responsible for the cultivation of new desert sweet potatoes.

This sudden incident caused a lot of losses, not to mention the special chemicals that cost tens of thousands of yuan. The key point is that the "Rapeseed No. 7" that took two months and more than a dozen failures to successfully cultivate could not be saved.

Qin Ke was open-minded: "Our laboratory's experimental records are very good. It will not be too difficult to cultivate 'Rapse No. 7' again. It will take a month at most. But we have to learn a lesson this time,"

Group C type A sweet potatoes are too harmful and cannot be cultivated by conventional greenhouse methods. Lao Wei, you ask Manager Zhou to find someone to order a glass pot ten meters long, three meters wide and five meters high, and put it inside.

Cultivation of 'Group C type A sweet potatoes' in half sand and half soil will cause some trouble in the experiment, but it is worth it compared to endangering countless surrounding farmland with 'Group C type A sweet potatoes'."

"Yes, I will do it right away." Wei Xueming wrote down everything one by one, and immediately arranged for the laboratory personnel to start working.

Under the influence of special chemicals, except for a few "Group C Type A Sweet Potato" plants that have been left as seeds, all the rest will wither tomorrow.

After the processing was completed, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun simply stayed and held a summary meeting, emphasizing again that the experiment must pay attention to "species hazards" and not be negligent. Wei Xueming and two scientific researchers who caused the accident due to improper arrangements

, one month's bonus was withheld as punishment, and all the withheld bonuses were used to compensate the first group.

Qin Ke himself also made a self-examination and stated that when formulating the experimental plan, he did not directly propose the use of glass pots to grow "Group C type A sweet potatoes", which was his negligence.

But at the same time, Qin Ke also encouraged everyone that accidents are inevitable in scientific research experiments. The key is to learn lessons and avoid making similar mistakes again.

Everyone was convinced by this solution, and the original solemn atmosphere returned to normal after the meeting.

Qin Ke left all the scientific researchers in the third group alone, emphasized disciplinary issues, and required all researchers to "adhere to the conscience of basic human values ​​​​and a sense of social responsibility for the future." Once the final "new desert sweet potato" is cultivated,

, "Group C Type A Sweet Potato", a plant that is extremely harmful, must be killed and destroyed without leaving any plants or seeds.

On the way back to Qingmu University, Ning Qingyun said thoughtfully: "Qin Xiaoke, fortunately you handled it in time. If the 'Group C type A sweet potato' accidentally spreads, we will be big sinners."

Qin Ke also felt that he had a heavy responsibility, but he had always been sunny and positive. At this time, he smiled and held the girl's tender hand, and said warmly: "All scientific research experiments have advantages and disadvantages. The key is how to use them. Just like Oppenheimer's research

The purpose of 'atomic fission phenomenon' is also to explore the mysteries of nature, study new energy sources, and benefit mankind for a better future. Unexpectedly, it was later used to create atomic bombs."

"Our goal is to develop a 'new desert sweet potato' that can transform deserts and benefit mankind. The strong vitality in the DNA of 'group C type a sweet potato' is an indispensable key link. As long as we prepare well,

, you don’t have to worry about problems. Even if the 'Group C Type A Sweet Potato' really spreads, the special agents we have can easily kill it, but it will inevitably cause losses."

Ning Qingyun felt much better when she thought about it.

Qin Ke thought for a while and said to Fang Yongtang who was driving: "Sister Fang, we are not going back to school. Please take us back to Xingguang Mingyuan."

Ning Qingyun said unexpectedly: "We have experimental tasks this afternoon, why don't we go back?"

"Just ask for leave. We have done that experimental task many times before. It doesn't matter if we don't do it this time. Anyway, we will leave for Zurich the day after tomorrow. We will go back early to pack our bags today."

Qin Ke made a decision, and Ning Qingyun usually wouldn't object, but she, who had always been a good student, always felt embarrassed when she suddenly asked for leave and was absent from the experimental task.

Qin Ke generously called Teacher Jiang Weixian to ask for leave.

The experimental task I did this afternoon was about "Characterization of Mass Diffusion Coefficient" in turbulent flow. Qin Ke holds "Exploration and Detailed Solution of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equation "Navier-Stokes Equation"" and has already mastered the turbulence problem.

I have very in-depth theoretical knowledge and know that such an experiment must be repeated at least dozens of times before a relatively complete experimental plan can be derived.

Therefore, whether they participate in this experimental task is of little significance.

Returning to Xingguang Mingyuan Community, Qin Ke asked Fang Yongtang to put the two of them down at the entrance of the community, then took Ning Qingyun's little hand and walked through the community.

Xingguang Mingyuan is a high-end community, and the greening is quite good. It is already October 20th, and the autumn atmosphere is already very strong in the suburbs of Beijing.

Stepping on the fallen leaves, Ning Qingyun's heart suddenly returned to peace, and the slight uneasiness about the "Group C type A sweet potato" that had remained in her heart also disappeared.

Qin Ke sniffed the delicious body fragrance of the girl next to him and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've been alone together so relaxedly. In the next half month of going abroad, I'm afraid I won't have time to get along with each other so easily."

When the two of them go abroad, there is always a lack of protective people around them, and they have academic reporting tasks. It is really impossible to imagine being so relaxed and comfortable.

Ning Qingyun held Qin Ke's big hand instead, and the long-lost warmth made her heart feel soft, especially when Qin Ke went abroad to win the Clay Research Award. The two were separated for a week, and after returning, they fell into the intense work

While studying scientific research, it has indeed been a long time since I had the opportunity to take a casual and intimate walk like this without discussing academic research.

"Jun'er, do you think it would be particularly warm if we had children in the future and a family of three walking hand in hand like this?"

When the topic of having children suddenly came up, Ning Qingyun couldn't help but feel her face get hot.

"Why did you suddenly mention this?"

"Just fantasize about the future." Qin Ke laughed: "I thought that I might win many awards and meet many people and things in the future, but I never thought about the future without you."

"He talks sweet words to me all day long." Ning Qingyun couldn't stand his sweet words. She said this, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Qin Ke sighed: "Who said I haven't loved anyone before? You are the first one. I'm worried that I didn't do a good job and made you think that love is nothing more than this. You probably don't know how much I care about you. In this world
