Chapter 165 Harvest 1
The following day at the beginning of the morning, in the Mingsi Room (a small to medium-sized conference room that can accommodate a hundred people, mostly used by Li Yingxiang and others to hold meetings for discussion, reports, etc.).
At the front of the room is a round conference table that seats ten people. About a meter away below it are several rows of seats, each seating ten people in a row. The armrests on both sides of each seat are about one and a half feet wide, just enough to hold A4-sized documents or meeting minutes, so that participants can easily look up the documents or take notes.
At the round table directly in front, ten male and female researchers, all over thirty years old and dressed similarly, sat upright with their heads bowed. The seats below were also full of people, and the first row with the best view was occupied by Wei Chaoyan and eight others, as well as the two leaders, Li Yingxiang and Yu Ying.
As the last person entered the Ming Si Room carrying a thick stack of documents, closed the door behind him, and took his seat a few rows behind the seating area, the middle-aged man in a blue shirt with a round face and slightly graying temples at the head of the table calmly looked around the room, reached out and lightly opened the documents on the table in front of him with a "snap," cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone is here, let's begin the meeting!"
He glanced down at the information on the document, then turned his gaze to the elegant woman in a red dress sitting at the far left. He nodded and said, "Yin Wen, you can start first!"
After speaking, he crossed his hands on the table, looked directly at the woman in red, and waited for her to speak. The others also held their breath and waited attentively.
Upon seeing the woman in red, Yin Wen didn't hesitate. She stood up abruptly and began to report with confidence, composure, elegance, and professionalism.
The others either lowered their heads in thought, nodded in agreement with relaxed brows, or frowned in confusion, holding back their doubts and waiting for the woman to finish explaining before asking questions.
As expected, Yin Wen finished her presentation in the time it takes to drink two cups of tea. Then, the other listeners who had doubts couldn't wait to raise their hands and stand up to ask their questions. When she received a question, she would either answer it directly and confidently, or ponder for a moment before answering, or after a heated debate, she would say that she would put the question aside for the time being and answer it later...
In this way, those seated at the head of the round table rose one by one to report and receive inquiries from the others, the time varying from long to short. Meanwhile, those seated at the lower levels kept writing and drawing in their notebooks on the armrests beside them, occasionally raising their hands to ask a question or add their own thoughts... By the time this lively and back-and-forth reporting finally came to an end, and everyone left satisfied and with a sense of accomplishment, it was already the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) on the second day.
Well... everyone present, including Wei Ying, Qi Ye, Lan Zhan, and others, gained a lot. Wei Chaoyan, on the other hand, usually understood the first half of the straightforward and easy-to-understand language, but as it gradually became more profound and professional terms appeared more frequently, he was completely confused—like a duck listening to muffled thunder! He just treated it as a good show!
As for Xiao Qingyan, well, he was just there to accompany her throughout the whole process, listening to a series of highly hypnotic lectures with only a vague understanding of them!
On the fourth day, at the same time, in the same place, with the same people, the content of the meeting and the attitudes of the attendees were different. The former was solemn and dignified, with rigorous content and careful wording; the latter was relaxed, cheerful, inspiring, and exhilarating, like a large-scale autumn harvest scene!
For example, "Our research group on the new No. 36 hybrid rice has now eliminated 68% of the interfering projects, achieving a success rate of 38%, and is expected to succeed in the next few years!"
"Our team has successfully developed soybean variety No. 26, which has stable traits and yields at least 80% higher than other varieties, doubles the oil yield, and increases nutritional value by 50% in all aspects! At the same time, the planting difficulty has decreased by 30%, the survival rate has increased by 70%, and the insect infestation rate has decreased by 40%!"
……
The above is a report on the achievements of three groups of agricultural researchers, totaling fifteen people—no, to be precise, it's a showcase!
Other groups, specializing in weapons and medicine, also presented dazzling results, which thrilled and impressed the attendees. Although the feasibility of these results still needs to be verified in reality, with complete and detailed data and research processes, successful verification is only a matter of time! Hence, everyone was excited!
As evening approached, all the researchers had finished presenting their findings. The time and stage now belonged to Wei Ying and Qi Ye, who were sitting in the first row below!
All eyes, filled with anticipation and encouragement, turned to the eight—no, six—people sitting upright in the first row.
All six had flushed faces of excitement, their clear and bright eyes sparkling (except for Lan Zhan, who was usually expressionless; his eyes were merely shimmering and his earlobes slightly swollen), filled with eagerness to make a name for themselves and amaze everyone.
The six people exchanged glances for a fleeting moment, exchanging countless pieces of information before immediately deciding on the order of their presentation. Their gazes shifted, and Zhao Yumin confidently rose, head held high, to announce her findings to the crowd—a theory on the recombination and reuse of human cells!
In short, it utilizes the instinct of cell proliferation and division to solve some currently incurable diseases in the medical field, such as cancer, while comprehensively improving human quality and extending the average lifespan towards the 100-year mark!
Although the conclusions are immature and the goals are ambitious, the ideas are unique and novel, and all the researchers praised the promising future!
Su Youjin's research in mathematics, Lin Jinran's hypotheses in chemistry, Qi Ye's research on the emperors of the country's history, Lan Zhan's research on qin scores and Legalist thought, and finally, the fruitful results of the little inventor Wei Ying!
