I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 674 They will become the gods of biology who will usher in a new era!

The reporter's sister was puzzled: "Generally speaking, isn't it that a patent application is submitted only when there is a finished product?"

"There is no such statement. Professor Qin and the others are in the category of invention patents. After completing the application, acceptance, and preliminary examination processes, this type of patent will enter the publication process for a period of up to three years. Within these three years, the final product report will be submitted. Substantive examination is enough for the application. Many people who squatted patents go through the application process in advance. If the research is not successful by then, the worst result is to withdraw the application, wasting the application fee of several hundred yuan."

"You mean, you don't believe there is such a perfect desert sweet potato?"

"I didn't say that. Since Professor Qin dared to apply and give a special report, he should be quite sure that he can research it. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Just from my professional point of view, I really can't think of any way he can cultivate such a unique desert sweet potato." Professor Gong Chengji pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose as he said:

"That's right, sweet potatoes are really adaptable, resistant to drought and alkali, and can also be grown in sandy soil, but sweet potatoes like warm and sunny and are not frost-tolerant. The suitable growth temperature is 22°C-30°C, and the temperature is lower than 15°C It will stop growing when it is lower than 8°C, and it will wither directly if it is lower than 30°C, and it has requirements for the fertility and cohesion of the land. If the desertification exceeds [-]%, it is basically difficult to grow grass, and it is even more impossible for sweet potatoes to grow. Yes. This is true for all varieties of sweet potatoes currently available on the market.”

Having said that, Gong Chengji's voice became a little firmer:
"Crossbreeding is to select the best from the best, not to create something out of nothing. If the parents don't have such characteristics, the new breeds bred are impossible, unless there is a genetic mutation! But how low is the probability of genetic mutation? One in a thousand is considered Very high, the most common gene burst probability is one in a million! The probability of these more than a dozen characteristics appearing at the same time is one in a million to the 17th power! Can you imagine how low this probability is? If you throw a grain of sand here, the probability of the sand returning to your hand after flying around the planet with all the monsoons is even lower!"

The lady reporter complained in her heart. While saying, "Professor Qin should be quite sure that he can research it", this old guy clearly hinted that it is theoretically impossible to research such a perfect sweet potato.

Can't you just say something?

However, it is estimated that Professor Gong was afraid of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's high reputation in the academic and scientific research circles, so he didn't dare to speak out?
The reporter asked while thinking: "Professor Qin, could it be possible that the perfect type of desert sweet potato was born through hybridization of some extremely rare and unavailable varieties?"

Gong Chengji snorted softly: "You don't understand anything!"

Miss reporter couldn't help complaining in her heart again, I know I need to ask you?But still with a smile on his face, he said: "Please advise."

"It takes about 90 days on average for a kind of sweet potato from planting to fruiting. Even if it has been cultivated in the greenhouse, it can only be cultivated about four times a year. According to my preliminary analysis and estimation, if we want to achieve The perfect desert sweet potato mentioned by Professor Qin must first assume that there are all parents who meet the relevant conditions, and at least [-] generations of cross breeding must be carried out before it can be successful."

At this point, Gong Chengji's speech speed began to speed up, and his voice also increased: "Even if some of the generations can be cross-breeding at the same time, the cross-breeding of seventeen generations will take about two and a half years at the fastest. And the premise is that the cultivation plan must be completely correct. Is this possible?"

Gong Chengji waved his hand: "The first prerequisite is that parents with all the characteristics do not exist in the first place, let alone the follow-up. Moreover, the actual experimental time and cost of hybrid breeding is very high. I spent 35 years in my life. , Only five representative sweet potatoes were bred, and it took an average of seven years to successfully breed one, and each kind of sweet potato has only been cross-bred for a maximum of six generations!"

The lady reporter was so overwhelmed by his aura that she barely managed to keep calm and said, "Could it be that Professor Qin used the original 'computational seed science'? They proposed this subject more than two years ago. Yes, it is said that through DNA research and mathematical modeling, the correct breeding program can be deduced, which greatly saves time and cost."

Gong Chengji nodded and said: "I have never doubted their mathematical ability. I have also heard the report on 'computational seed science' they made at the time. This is indeed a promising new subject. The research has been very thorough, fully mastered its genetic code, and can establish a sufficiently perfect 'computational seed science', it is still possible to increase the probability of genetic mutation, and then breed this kind of 'perfect desert' that is almost impossible to exist Sweet potatoes '...but!"

Gong Chengji's tone sank again: "The difficulty of establishing and perfecting a discipline from scratch is no less than establishing a school! Especially 'computational seed science', it first requires massive research on the DNA of seeds to fully grasp its genetics. Password, this is too difficult to do. Even with the support of a huge team, it may not be successful after ten or eight years of hard work."

Professor Gong turned on his laptop, logged on to the domestic academic literature data website and the large academic website arXiv to search, and the website indicated that no papers related to "computational seed science" were found.

"To be honest, I have been paying close attention to 'computational seed science', and I really hope that they can continue to improve it and benefit the seed science community. I have led a team to try it, and it took half a year to make no progress. I think that if If someone can really build it, it must be Professor Qin Ke and Professor Ning Qingyun."

Professor Gong's tone was full of hatred and dissatisfaction: "But it's a pity that they have wasted their talents in biology and put all their energy on mathematics and physics! Over the past two years, they have published one The paper on 'Computational Seed Science' has not been published, do you think that if the two of them really succeed in establishing a complete new discipline, can they promote it without publishing papers? What's the point of researching it?"

The reporter's sister could only nod with a compensatory smile, "You're right."

Professor Gong sighed, and said: "It's hard for me to believe that there is such a genius in the world who can achieve such dazzling achievements in mathematics and physics, and still have enough energy to complete the systematic work of a new subject and develop a Brand new, theoretically impossible crops!""

"Then why do you think they want to preemptively register this patent and hold a special report meeting?"

Professor Gong shook his head and said: "I'm not them, how would I know. Maybe they want to fool around with investment, or want to list their Lime Technology? Recently, I heard that their computer room is making a large-scale purchase, the amount exceeds 2 million, and it's also Maybe it has something to do with it. Don’t you know if you go to the scene the day after tomorrow and listen to it?”

"Let me ask one last question, Professor Gong, what if they succeed in researching the perfect desert sweet potato with such characteristics?"

"We are engaged in scientific research. To be honest, we only believe in theories, not what-ifs. But if I have to answer, then my answer is—" Professor Gong was silent for a long time before replying: "They must have Truly perfect 'computational seed science', and they will also become the gods of biology who will usher in a new era!"

Professor Gong's interview once again aroused great attention and controversy, and also made more and more people want to attend the special report meeting on July 7, probably because the voices on the Internet were too loud, and the website of the science and technology management department and the bib , finally posted a message:
“经征询秦克教授与宁青筠教授的意见后，现通知如下：7月23日下午14：00至17：00的《计算种子学与“完美型沙漠红薯”》专题报告会，将会在各大主流网络直播平台及科学频道同步直播。特此通知。”

The Internet exploded again, and countless people rushed to tell each other, and they all began to look forward to this report meeting.

……

When the fields of seed science, botany and even the entire Internet were discussing, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were sitting in a new energy car driven by assistant Fang Yongtang, returning from the airport in Beijing to their new home in Xingguang Mingyuan community.

Ning Qingyun was a little tired from the exhaustion of boats and cars, and the continuous days of traveling.

The girl rested softly on Qin Ke's shoulder, as if she had fallen asleep.

The long and delicate hair is scattered on Qin Ke's face and neck. It is slippery and itchy, and it also has a familiar scent like lime, which makes Qin Ke feel refreshed physically and mentally, and feels like being trapped in his heart. As if scratching, some couldn't sit still.

Qin Ke's physical fitness is much better than Ning Qingjun's, and he is still very energetic at this time, but there is an assistant Fang Yongtang driving in the front row, so it is impossible for him to do anything to Ning Qingyun.He thought for a while, then quietly took out his phone, and opened the photo album, which contained photos of Ning Qingjun changing into various new clothes in the clothing store a few days ago, as well as photos secretly taken when he was playing in the water the day before yesterday.

Although Qin Ke's photography skills are not very good, and it is a candid shot, but with the low light of LV4 to help correct the camera parameters, the overall effect is still very good.

For example, the photo of Ning Qingjun smiling happily in the swimming pool is a sneak shot in front of me. The split-style colorful swimsuit shows off the girl's beautiful figure to the fullest. The pure black hair and porcelain-like skin form a beautiful The stark contrast, the water waves glowing with dazzling light in the sun, made Ning Qingyun even more charming like a fairy in the water.

Qin Ke was admiring it with gusto, when suddenly a slender, white little finger stretched out, tapped on the delete button, and then tapped OK to delete the photo.

As soon as Qin Ke turned his head, he saw that Ning Qingyun had opened his Danfeng eyes at some point, and stared at him with a blushing face, as if accusing him of taking a sneak shot.

"Don't delete it, I just took it for my own appreciation." Qin Ke whispered.

Ning Qingyun blushed and shook her head: "No, what if it gets out."

Qin Ke is funny, with Shimmer, how could someone steal this photo from his mobile phone?And this is just a swimsuit photo. There are so many swimsuit photos taken by celebrities... But Qin Ke rolled his eyes and teased her: "Then show me how you wear them at home, and I will delete them all."

"Rogue..." Ning Qingyun's little face turned even redder.

"That's the deal." Qin Ke simply deleted all the sneak shots - anyway, Shimmer can be restored at any time.

As soon as the deletion was completed, the cell phone rang, and the vice principal Gu Bojun called. Naturally, he was talking about the special report meeting on the 23rd.

"I said Qin Ke, you don't want me to stop at all." Gu Bojun laughed and cursed: "Now the media is about to occupy the school, what do you think?"

"Let them go to the venue tomorrow afternoon and listen."

"Let's not talk about this, what is going on with this perfect desert sweet potato and computational seed science? Why do you want to give this special report all of a sudden?"

"It's what Uncle Yang meant." Qin Ke explained it to Vice Principal Gu, and Principal Gu heaved a sigh of relief: "Since you, Uncle Yang, made the decision, it's fine. Next time you have such a surprise, you have to prepare it in advance." Say hello to me, my heart can't take much stimulation."

After finishing the call, Qin Ke thought for a while, and immediately dialed Zhou Shutao, CEO of Lime Technology: "Old Zhou, make arrangements immediately, and let our Lime Security Service Co., Ltd. strengthen the security of the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory." Work, strictly prevent people from getting in in various ways."

After Zhou Shutao took the order, Qin Ke called Wei Xueming, the head of the laboratory, and gave the same instructions.

He was just in case. Now the security monitoring of the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory has no dead ends. The artificial intelligence twilight monitors all the pictures 24 hours a day. If there is any suspicious situation, the security personnel will be notified immediately. Yes, the safety index is very high.

What's more, even if someone sneaks in, it's useless. All the important experimental data are stored in the computer, and they are encrypted with the new algorithm developed by Ning Qingyun, so they are not afraid of being copied away.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was noon on July 7, and there was still more than half an hour before 23:14. The venue of the symposium was already crowded with people. Except for the experts and professors who received the invitation letter, almost all the well-known media came. , Long guns and short cannons filled the four corners of the venue, and the reporters even went out to interview scholars and experts.

At 14:00, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, dressed in formal suits, stood on the stage.

Countless flashes come on!
