Chapter 351 Treasure Offering!

Tian Minjie led Lin Dong to the inside, which is the real laboratory.

The cleanliness here is completely different from the chaos outside.If he hadn't just walked in from the outside, Lin Dong would have thought that he had directly entered the laboratory room of a scientific research institute!
The setup here is very simple, except for the door, there is a row of tables against the wall, on which are all test instruments and supplies, and on a computer table, the computer used to calculate and save data is still running, Lin Dong You can see some numbers and letters marked in various colors on the table above.

On the opposite table, there were a lot of seeds packed in transparent glasses, some of which Lin Dong could recognize, while others were completely incomprehensible.There are also some white objects wrapped in the outer skin of some seeds, probably this is the experimental product!
"Why are you alone?" Lin Dong asked while watching, "Aren't there other people in your lab?"

"People at the same level are all looking for jobs." Tian Minjie explained: "There are two graduate students who have already contacted jobs. One is going for an interview today, and the other has already started a trial. There is also a classmate who has gone home... I Thinking that you can’t leave people here, you haven’t left yet.”

Lin Dong thought that he came at the right time. If Tian Minjie was persuaded to leave by Wang Xiaomei, then all the previous experiments would be abandoned halfway.

"Then if you give up too, these research results..." Lin Dong pointed to the computer and those experimental equipment, "What should I do, have you thought about it?"

"A brother mentioned it." Tian Minjie said very flatly, as if he had nothing to do with him, but there was an indescribable reluctance in his eyes, "There is a professor in the Agricultural College who is also studying the same topic, but this professor He just went to Shaanxi, Gansu, and New Zealand every year for on-the-spot investigations, and then searched for information on the Internet to write papers when he came back—now he has written several papers published in national core journals. It is said that he was very interested in our research. Interested, I originally wanted to row under his name..."

"You didn't agree?" Lin Dong faintly understood, "Now I think, if the research can't go on, I will finally hand it over to him?"

"At least it's better than giving up completely." Tian Minjie nodded: "Even if the final data does not have our name, but these things can still be kept."

Lin Dong could hear the heaviness in his tone, and he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "I'm afraid it's not necessary now. Come on, tell me about the principles of your research and the level you have reached so far. I think you should not would think that I would steal your research..."

"Of course not!" Tian Minjie believed in Lin Dong, and then walked to the computer, skillfully opened files one by one, and began to introduce to Lin Dong: "Our original idea was like this..."

"By the way, what's the name of that professor?" Lin Dong interrupted him suddenly.Lin Dong was not interested in such a professor at first, but when he met Tian Minjie for the first time that day, he thought of this project and the person who left records in the encyclopedia, Lin Dong still couldn't help asking "Can you tell me?"

"Then there's nothing wrong with it." Tian Minjie smiled and said a person's name.

Sure enough it was him!

Lin Dong nodded silently, and then said to Tian Minjie: "Tell me, I believe your research results will definitely impress me!"

Tian Minjie didn't know why Lin Dong suddenly changed his tone, but he didn't think too much, and continued: "Our original thinking was like this. In the western region of our country, especially in Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Mongolia and other places, there are many The deserts, loess plateaus and desertified areas. These places have very little annual precipitation and sparse vegetation, which leads to serious problems such as sandstorms and soil desertification, so this topic was chosen.”

"At the beginning, we also knew that our country's predecessors had already done research on this aspect, but we checked a lot of information. To be honest, there was not much progress, especially in the past two years, when sandstorms and smog weather More serious, let us pay more attention to this topic, but there has been no progress."

"Our country has a very large land area, so in terms of water-saving planting, it is doomed not to implement large-scale drip irrigation like Israel. This is okay in the farmland, but it is too labor-intensive, material and financial in those deserts and the Loess Plateau. So we have been thinking about using a more efficient and convenient method."

When it came to professional things, Tian Minjie immediately became eloquent: "We have been looking for it, but we couldn't find it, until one day, when we were doing experiments, we discovered a chemical substance, It can absorb a large amount of surrounding water vapor and store it around itself, it is adsorption, not absorption!"

When talking about this, Tian Minjie's eyes burst into dazzling brilliance, and he emphasized it: "That is to say, the water is not sucked away by this chemical substance, but is absorbed by some kind of coexisting chemical substance. The form exists. At that time, we were wondering whether we could combine this chemical substance with the seeds, and in some way, slowly release the water to promote the germination and growth of these seeds, especially in those drought-stricken areas place, does not need, or at least does not completely rely on the outside water and soil, to complete the first step of growth?"

Tian Minjie called up a piece of data in the computer, pointed it to Lin Dong and explained: "When I discovered this chemical substance, I was so happy, and then I started researching it with a few like-minded classmates. Regarding the characteristics of this chemical substance, we kept it a secret from the beginning, and even when we researched, we all came together. However, as the research deepened, we found that this matter is not as simple as we thought..."

"First of all, combining this chemical substance with the seeds can not only ensure that the water does not lose, but also ensure that the chemical substance does not affect the integrity of the seeds. This is a difficult problem." Tian Minjie pointed to Lin Dong. The table lists the problems that need to be solved one by one: "In fact, the ratio of this substance is how to achieve it just enough for the seeds to absorb without affecting germination. Later, we considered the barrenness of the soil in those places and thought Can you add fertilizer to the water together..."

……

Tian Minjie introduced each problem to Lin Dong with bright eyes. His expression was like that of a primary school student presenting a treasure to an adult!
And Lin Dong really knew that he had discovered a treasure!

He has already determined that what Tian Minjie said is the water-saving planting project in the encyclopedia. Although they are still far away from real success, at least they are on the right track.

For Lin Dong, this is enough!
