Chapter 522 New Seed Concept
One thing we have to admit is that the United States may still be the world's number one military power.

However, for the rabbit's ambitions, nuclear deterrence is obviously much stronger than this thing.

If they go too far, it is likely that both sides will perish, which is something the rabbit upper echelons cannot accept.

Guo Yang didn’t know whether the seed store could provide a solution, but he wanted to try.

So, as soon as he returned to Jiuquan, he went into the laboratory of Tianhe Science Academy.

The laboratory and germplasm resource bank are next to each other in an ordinary building. It looks solemn and has sufficient security.

After years of unremitting collection, germplasm from all over the world has gathered here, with extremely complete species.

There are also many super germplasms among them.

Moreover, Tianhe's successful acquisition of Monsanto's three major seed companies in South America has once again enriched this treasure trove.

Such a large number of seeds is enough to keep Guo Yang busy for a while.

In the laboratory, Guo Yang, wearing a white coat and holding a booklet with information about the species in his hand, walked step by step in the quiet storage room, just like an ordinary researcher.

Every time he saw a seed that interested him, he would stop, take out some of the stored seeds, and analyze them using the seed store's catalog to see where they could be useful.

There are hundreds of thousands of seeds in this seed treasure house. Even if Guo Yang only collects the ones he is interested in, it is still a huge project.

But he wasn't bored.

He rarely has the opportunity to do this kind of thing in a year.

Perhaps compared to his ever-expanding ambitions, he prefers the relaxed daily farm life or the seemingly boring scientific research.

Ambition seems to be born naturally.

He never doubted that it was the seed store that influenced his mind, just as he did not know at this moment that the seed store was also operating frantically.

Trying to find suitable germplasm resources for its owner from this vast treasure house.

The planet has long been riddled with holes, but it only wants to repair it, to repair the entire planet, not just a corner of it.

Guo Yang sometimes likes to work so hard that he forgets to eat and sleep, just like a teenager addicted to games who can stay up all night long.

This time was the same. Although I didn't stay up all night, I did stay in the seed bank.

I don’t know how long it was before Guo Yang was shocked when he saw the white wall at the end of the storage rack.

"I've finished reading it."

He closed his eyes and tried to recall.

It was as if a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and every variety that appeared in his mind was something he might be able to use.

"Crops that can withstand nuclear attacks..."

Just by saying it in my mind, two completely unrelated crops appeared: sunflowers and leeks.

It was totally unexpected.

But Guo Yang remembered these two varieties. Sunflowers were used to absorb cesium-137 in the soil of the Chernobyl nuclear leak, and then the current seeds were developed with super-enrichment properties.

It originally had no name, and the seed collection team gave it the code name cesium-137.

But for the first time, the seed store automatically gave the plant a name: Cesium Shield Sunflower.

"Could it be a sunflower that can be used as a shield?" Guo Yang thought it was a little funny. "But if the flower disk is big enough, it's not impossible, but it shouldn't be that sci-fi."

As for the other leek, it is Hangjiu No. 1, a space-induced mutation variety bred by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is outstanding in its cold resistance.

To be honest, Guo Yang didn't quite understand.

Although these two varieties have their own characteristics, by combining a sunflower and a leek, can we cultivate a plant variety that can cope with nuclear strikes?

Are you kidding me?

Is it possible that the seed store understands that individual plants respond to a nuclear attack?
Guo Yang thinks it is very likely.

In fact, he just wanted to get some relevant plant materials and then produce corresponding protective weapons, but he didn't expect that such a thing would come out directly from the seed store.

Guo Yang tried to combine the two categories together, and then entered the term 'responding to nuclear strikes'.

Suddenly,

A whole new plant variety emerged.

Cesium Shield Sunflower is just a super enhanced version. Guo Yang took a closer look at it.

"The flower disk can evolve into a honeycomb structure, with lead sulfide crystals embedded inside to shield gamma rays..."

A long list of features.

It is indeed a single plant that can deal with nuclear attacks.

But it's not that serious. Things that are supposed to explode will still explode, but the damage to people outside the center of the explosion will not be that great.

More inclined to protection.

But it can also greatly reduce the lethality of nuclear weapons and significantly reduce the deterrent capability.

Moreover, they can grow rapidly after a nuclear strike, covering the surface and preventing dust from spreading, just like growing leeks one after another.

It can also deep plow and repair the soil.

Guo Yang didn't want to complain anymore. He looked at the natural energy required, and the long string of zeros behind it made him dizzy.

It requires more than 100 million energy points.

Guo Yang knew what was going on. He knew that he couldn't afford to use it for the time being, and he would have to wait until at least after Hongqi River to see hope.

Coming back to his senses, Guo Yang began to test other ideas. If it is possible not to use nuclear weapons, it is better to do so. After the use, it will have to be repaired, which is troublesome.

Once this idea came up,

Suddenly,

Plants specific to each region come to mind.

Western Europe, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean coast, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Greater Russia, Japan and South Korea, Southeast Asia, North America, South America, Australia...

These emerging varieties cover almost the entire world.

There seems to be no Africa.

The African guy is a bit shameless.

Moreover, Guo Yang discovered that for each harmful plant, the seed store also provided several ways to deal with it.

It seems that it is easy to destroy but difficult to control when there are several of them.

However, Guo Yang did not feel much guilt. Instead, he was suddenly looking forward to the arrival of the global village.

What's this called?
Concentrate your efforts on big things!
However, when he looked at the natural energy again, Guo Yang became a little worried, because each variety was very valuable.

Moreover, it is impossible for a region to have only one variety. If there are two or three varieties in a region, plus the construction of an ecosystem for subsequent management, the natural energy required is also a huge amount.

"The current 50,000 or 60,000 energies are not enough. We can't just wait for Hongqi River."

Guo Yang walked out of the germplasm bank. The warm sunshine of early spring shining on his body gave him an indescribable comfort.

Chang Feng was already waiting at the door.

Compared to Luo Xiu, Chang Feng is more taciturn and has a low sense of presence, but in Guo Yang's eyes, he can see Chang Feng's figure every once in a while, which is like a signal that makes him feel at ease.

The two returned to the manor.

As soon as the car entered the yard, Lin Keqing appeared with Guo Pengye. The little guy had grown a little bigger and was shouting as if he was having fun.

"Dad, Dad is back."

This childish voice is filled with excitement, which is heartwarming to hear.

After Guo Yang got off the car, he took a few quick steps and tried to pick up the little guy out of habit, but when he picked him up, he found that he had become heavier.

"Oh, you've grown taller."

"Dad, what's this?" He tried to grab it with his little hands. Guo Yang was smiling at Lin Keqing at that time and didn't notice it inadvertently.

"Sigh~"

He hadn't shaved for a while, and it was painful when he pulled it out. Guo Yang suddenly felt that the child was not so cute anymore.

What needs to be cleaned up must be cleaned up.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, "Come on, Xiao Pengye, give daddy a kiss."

This was the first time that Guo Yang had grown such a long beard. Xiao Pengye had no experience and kissed him straight away, then dodged as if he had been electrocuted.

"Hahaha, I'll let you pull my beard." "Wow..."

She starts crying when she doesn't agree with something. She's almost at the age where she can start to learn.

"Xiao Pengye, I want to kiss my mother too."

Suddenly, the crying stopped, and the little face was full of expectation, "Okay, okay."

"What are you kissing? You're corrupting the child."

"What's the big deal? This is called family harmony."

Guo Yang came forward with the child in his arms without saying anything, and Lin Keqing did not refuse. Seeing the two of them like this, Guo Pengye also started making a fuss.

"I want it too, I want it too."

Then he was pricked in the face by the beard again. This time he didn't cry, but instead screamed in pain.

"Go take a shower and shave."

At night, after coaxing Guo Pengye to sleep, Guo Yang opened a bottle of red wine and called Lin Keqing to drink it together.

"Why are you drinking so late at night? You know I blush when I drink."

"Just a little bit, just a little bit."

"I feel dizzy even a little bit."

"That's the feeling I want, a little tipsy, understand?"

The two of them clinked their glasses lightly and took a sip. Guo Yang said, "Little Pengye has grown up a little and become a little naughty. Is it time to take action?"

"Look at you, as a father, why do you always want to beat your son~"

"Hehe, I was just saying that. Look, he pulled my beard today and it hurt so much that I almost cried, but I was still smiling at him."

"You were trying to stab him with your beard. Let me see if there's any wound."

Lin Keqing's face flushed a little. She leaned closer to look at Guo Yang's jaw, touched it, and then snuggled into Guo Yang's arms, "Hubby, I want..."

This lazy voice tickled people's hearts, and Guo Yang could not suppress his desire.

"Say it again."

"Son of a bitch~"

...

Spring is here again with a sprinting momentum.

Against the backdrop of the worsening global food crisis, food prices have continued to rise, and China has become one of the world's major food exporters.

In the past, this would have been unimaginable.

A few decades ago, the Western world was still clamoring about who could feed China's huge population.

Today, more and more countries rely on China's agricultural products.

"Boss, the current president of Marubeni Corporation, Masumi Kakigi, wants to visit you. He will be at the company the day after tomorrow."

In the office on the top floor, Guo Yang stood in front of the window looking at the scenery, and Qi Ziwen, who had just come in, brought him a piece of news.

He turned around and asked, "Are you here to buy food too?"

It is not surprising that Marubeni wants to buy grain from Jiahe. In today's China, Jiahe still controls the largest grain distribution channel.

Moreover, there is food supply in Eastern Europe.

Qi Ziwen said: "In addition to food, they should also want to discuss cooperation in energy. Masumi Kakigi has worked for Marubeni for a long time, leading core areas such as energy and metal resources. Marubeni has also invested in many oil fields overseas."

Guo Yang thought for a moment, "Well, I'm gone. I'm just another unlucky guy. You just need to see me."

Qi Ziwen said: "He should know you are here. You met with Haifa Saudi from the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture a few days ago."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "I'm going to Dunhuang tomorrow, and then I'll go west to Xinjiang Province and Medog. It's just a coincidence that he came here."

Qi Ziwen was stunned and began to understand his boss's attitude towards Marubeni.

The trips to Dunhuang and Xinjiang were probably a temporary itinerary that we came up with just to avoid meeting Marubeni's Masumi Kakigi.

"So are we going to cooperate with Marubeni?"

"Of course if the price is right, we will make money if there is money to be made."

"Okay, got it."

After Qi Ziwen left, Guo Yang also returned to his seat. Marubeni's purchase of grain was just a small episode.

Since the beginning of the Chinese New Year, China has become a gathering place for major grain traders.

However, the scarcity of grain, coupled with the special system and national conditions, has greatly restricted most grain traders in purchasing grain.

It's a seller's market right now.

Buying food is not only a company's business, but also a country's business.

The difference between Saudi Arabia and the island countries lies in which side they take.

No matter how much the rabbit treats you well, it is already a kindness for them to sell food to you.

Guo Yang looked at the records of Jiahe’s ecological projects over the years in the computer and compared them with the data in the seed store.

He was calculating the natural energy income and expenditure ratio over the years.

Calculate how much natural energy benefit he can gain by breeding a variety that can improve the environment.

From a single perspective, the results are still very encouraging. For example, the original Alfalfa No. 1, although it was given as a gift, is also worth several hundred points of natural energy.

However, the total natural energy brought to Guo Yang has now reached tens of thousands.

But from the overall perspective, it is slightly worse. Some new varieties that appear in the form of plant communities provide huge energy as a whole.

But the ratio of natural energy cultivated to that harvested is less striking.

In this case, it seems more cost-effective to cultivate individual plants?
Guo Yang is planning how to make the natural energy in his hands play a greater role.

After discussing with the top leaders, they reached a unanimous conclusion that, for the time being, other countries and regions except the United States and India should not take action.

Instead, save up your strength, make all preparations, and then strike in one fell swoop.

By then, the military force should be more sufficient.

With biological invasions and abundant martial virtues, the global village may actually become a reality.

However, the current focus is how to use these 50,000 or 60,000 natural energies to accumulate more natural energy.

That is to improve the environment.

When there is enough energy, varieties that can deal with nuclear weapons and biological invasions can be cultivated. Now they are only stored in seed stores.

Come to think of it, I still have a bit of a headache because my energy level is quite low.

Fortunately, the entire country is now standing behind us.

Thinking of this, Guo Yang pulled out a summary of domestic ecological and environmental problems from his computer.

This is information provided by the Ministry of Natural Environment at the instruction of the top leaders, which basically lists all the current ecological and environmental problems.

It covers ten major aspects: soil erosion, land desertification and sandification, wetland destruction, sharp decline in forest resources, grassland degradation, reduction in biodiversity, water environment pollution, air pollution, secondary soil salinization, and marine ecological problems.

Two or three cases are also listed for each question.

Some of them are what Jiahe has already done or is doing, such as soil salinization, grassland degradation, desertification, soil erosion, etc.

But there are also many blank areas or areas that are not done well.

For example, wetland destruction includes Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

For example, in the case of water pollution, the hardest hit areas are the seven major water systems and urban river sections, and some lakes are also polluted.

Air pollution and marine ecological issues are almost a blank area, including the Fenwei Plain, the acid rain area in Central China, the Bohai Bay, the South China Sea coast, the East China Sea...

In addition, some actions can be taken to address desertification, Gobi desert and salinization in the northwest.

For example, there is a large piece of Gobi Desert at the Guazhou Wind Farm. Guo Yang once used local Gobi pigweed to cultivate a new Gobi pigweed.

Now, there are also outstanding performances.

Looking at them one by one, there is still a lot that can be done before the Hongqi River is successfully put into operation.
