After Uncle Yang received Qin Ke's call, he agreed to the trip the next morning without saying a word.

Qin Ke smiled and joked: "Uncle Yang, for a busy man like you, if you feel that the time is not suitable, just set another time. Don't let me delay your serious business just because of my trivial matters."

"You brat, this is my biggest business!" Uncle Yang's voice also revealed excitement and excitement: "Desert sweet potatoes, finally wait!"

Uncle Yang had no doubt whether Qin Ke's laboratory would cultivate real desert sweet potatoes. This young man had created so many miracles that people always subconsciously trusted him.

Uncle Yang thought for a while and then asked:

"Qin Ke, see if you want to give another 30-minute report tomorrow. Last time I said that on the day when the perfect desert sweet potato is successfully cultivated, I will bring a few friends over to have a look. These friends are

The people responsible for desert management, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and patent management have a pretty good relationship with me. As long as they fully support the promotion of desert sweet potatoes, everything will undoubtedly go a hundred times smoother."

"No problem, I will come to the stage in person to make this report." Qin Ke immediately nodded in agreement and said:

"By the way, Uncle Yang, Qingjun and I will go back to Yuanzhou for seven or eight days the day after tomorrow. I can have the patent information of the perfect desert sweet potato supplemented tonight. If possible, can the patent be approved tomorrow?

Come down? By the way, we signed the patent donation agreement on the spot, so your friends will spare no effort to promote desert sweet potatoes, right?"

Uncle Yang said unexpectedly: "Sign tomorrow? I also plan to prepare a grand donation ceremony."

"Uncle Yang, Qingyun and I are neither fame nor fortune, but we are afraid of trouble and wasting time. Please let us go..."

Listening to Qin Ke's playful and smiling voice, Uncle Yang felt even more emotional. Others who donated tens of millions would be eager to publicize it all over the world. Qin Ke was better off. His donation to the country was of immeasurable value, at least it was an astronomical figure.

Patented technology, but just want to sign it in a low-key manner.

"You kid... I know that you and Xiao Ning don't like to show off, and I will always respect your wishes. For example, your Green Lemon Student Aid Foundation has spread to five or six provinces and funded schools in mountainous areas.

There are more than 100 institutions, and the total donation amount reaches 500 million yuan. If this is widely publicized and matched with your fame, it can serve as a good example, but you don't want to attract too much attention and affect your career.

By donating money for education, we didn’t let the media report it casually. But this time it’s different.”

Uncle Yang said earnestly: "The value of these two patents is too huge and the attention they have attracted is too great. They must go through a formal and public donation ceremony to let everyone know what contributions you two have made to the country and mankind! Yes!

For you, such a positive reputation is the best talisman, so that no one dares to touch a hair of yours! In addition, it also has the advantage of letting everyone know that this huge cake is no longer on you, and the target of the attack is not on you.

It will be aimed at you."

Qin Ke originally thought that he had been a little busy recently and that it would take a whole day to participate in such a formal donation ceremony. In addition, too much publicity would cause moral pressure on others, so he wanted to keep a low profile.

But what Uncle Yang said made sense, and Qin Ke could hear the unreserved care and concern for himself and Ning Qingyun in his words. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said sincerely: "Okay, then just listen to Uncle Yang."

Uncle Yang said happily: "Well, let's go visit tomorrow and bring some reporters with us. The desert sweet potatoes have been successfully cultivated. Such a major event must be well publicized. If the news of the donation is released later, it will be more sensational."

Ginger is still old ginger, Qin Ke sighed in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, you can make arrangements, and we will cooperate. By the way, Uncle Yang, since your friends and the media are coming tomorrow, how about this and this?"

…”

After hearing Qin Ke's suggestion, Uncle Yang's eyes lit up: "What a great idea. You kid, it would be such a waste not to pursue an official career."

He thought for a moment and gave a few more instructions, and Qin Ke responded one by one.

…

Early the next morning, Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun to the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory early, summoned Wei Xueming and all the scientific research staff, and came to the door to wait for the distinguished guests to arrive.

Normally a big shot would be late to show off his status with a showy gesture, but to everyone's surprise, as soon as everyone stood still, fifteen minutes before the agreed nine o'clock, a row of cars had already arrived.

The door of the black car at the front opened. Secretary Lu Xinping got out of the car first, then turned around and opened the back seat door, and Uncle Yang walked out of the car.

More than a dozen people also got off the cars behind.

Qin Ke pulled Ning Qingyun forward to say hello. Uncle Yang patted Qin Ke on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce you. These are my old friends. You can all call them uncle. This is Lao He.

Currently working in the Desert Management Department, this is Lao Hou, and working in the Agriculture Department, this is Lao Zhang..."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun greeted each other one by one. Since Uncle Yang referred to him by personal relationship rather than position, they also called him "Uncle He", "Uncle Hou", "Uncle Zhang" and so on.

Lao He, Lao Hou, Lao Zhang and others are also very gentle and polite, especially Lao He, whose tone is even intimate:

"Qin Ke, I should have called you 'Professor Qin', but Lao Yang and I have been friends for many years. He asked you to call me Uncle He, so I accepted it shamelessly and didn't call you anything.

'Professor Qin'. Thanks to the desert sweet potato you researched this time, it can be said that it has solved my urgent need. If I need Uncle He's help in the future, please feel free to contact me. As long as I can help, Uncle He will never say a word.

this is my name card."

The other middle-aged people also handed over their business cards with smiles, without any of the previous dignity on their faces.

They really didn't dare to look down upon the two young men and women in front of them in the slightest, let alone put on any airs.

Although Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun did not hold any official positions, they were just university professors, but they had special status. I heard that the superiors specially arranged for someone to record the activities of these two young people and report them once a week.

There are not many people in the country who receive such treatment and attention.

Especially this time, they have heard from Lao Yang that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will donate two patents related to desert sweet potatoes to the country for free. As soon as this matter is announced, the fame of these two young people will skyrocket.

Going after Mr. Yuan, who in the world would dare to easily provoke these two young men again?

It is no exaggeration to say that these two young people now have the sky above their heads and their feet on the ground. They can set off large thunderstorms at will. One word can determine the future and destiny of many people, but they are not aware of it yet.

What's more, they are also very aware of the importance attached to this desert management work by their superiors, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's perfect desert sweet potatoes are the best and only key to solving the world's major problem of desert control!

All things considered, who wouldn't be polite to these two young people and try to get as close as possible to them?

The atmosphere was also very good next. Qin Ke introduced the director of the laboratory, Wei Xueming, and others. Wei Xueming was so nervous that his hands and feet were stiff. He had never seen so many big shots in his life, let alone shook hands.

Noticing that Qin Ke was chatting and laughing with a group of big shots, Wei Xueming couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Finally we come to the most critical part.

Wei Xueming led the way and led everyone to several large glass boxes with a height of one meter. Through the glass, you can clearly see that the sandy soil inside is half sand and half soil. The soil is covered with green sweet potato leaves, and in the sand

However, the roots are intricately intertwined, and the large and developed root system shows an amazing and powerful growth ability.

Lao He, who is usually responsible for desert management, has bright eyes. He is considered an expert in desert green plants and has considerable experience in the research of Populus euphratica. The root system of the sweet potato in front of him is not as developed as that of Populus euphratica!

Just seeing that this desert sweet potato can survive in such severely desertified soil and can obviously consolidate water and soil, it is worthy of full promotion!

For others, the most satisfying thing is a bunch of fist-sized sweet potatoes looming in the sand!

Qin Ke ordered people to move the prepared hard mats, and then invited Uncle Yang and others to climb up in person, pull out the plants, and harvest the sweet potatoes that had already grown.

This arrangement really aroused the interest of many big shots.

Uncle Yang was the first to step on the hard mat, hold a sweet potato in the glass incubator and try to pull it up. However, he found that even though the soil had a high desertification rate, he still couldn't pull it out.

Later, he used a small shovel to loosen the soil first, and then pulled out the plant with its roots and fruits.

After shaking a few times in succession, the sand fell down, and there were a lot of gasps and exclamations in the room.

I saw that the lush sweet potato roots were full of fruits. The sweet potatoes about the size of a child's fist were placed next to each other and weighed at least several kilograms.

The rest, Lao He, Lao Hou, Lao Zhang and others also stepped forward one after another and took turns pulling out the sweet potato plants themselves. Then they made a rough estimate and found that each mu can produce at least 3,500 kilograms.

Of course, the yield of a thousand kilograms is not outstanding, but it is grown in sandy soil that is so desertified that even weeds cannot grow!

How much land in the country is desertified and has to be abandoned? It is almost the same as the existing cultivated land area!

In other words, as long as the cultivation of this desert sweet potato is promoted, the area of ​​food cultivation will directly double!

There was mist in Uncle Yang's eyes. He held these sweet potatoes carefully, as if he were holding a brand new era! An era where there would be no more famine!

Lao Hou, who was in charge of agriculture, directly wiped off the dust on the skin of a sweet potato with a wet paper towel, and then took a bite of the skin. The meat was crispy, sweet but not greasy, and much more delicious than ordinary sweet potatoes. He exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay" three times!

The accompanying reporter from "Renren Daily" also had tears in his eyes, and quickly took pictures of this exciting scene with his camera.

The others were equally surprised. Even Secretary Lu Xinping couldn't help but stepped forward and personally pulled out a sweet potato to inspect it.

Originally, everyone had some doubts about whether the rumored "perfect desert sweet potato" was really that magical, but now seeing is believing, and they were all amazed from the bottom of their hearts.

It is a high-yielding food crop that can only be grown in deserts. It can consolidate sandy soil and improve soil... Such a new variety of sweet potato deserves to be called "perfect"!

Ning Qingyun also dug a sweet potato plant herself. Unlike Qin Ke, who had already verified it through the virtual scientific research experiment center, it was also the first time for her to see the results deduced through computational seed science become reality, especially the 99.99% data.

The perfect fit makes the girl feel full of pride.

She was holding sweet potatoes in her white and tender hands, with a joyful smile on her pretty face. The reporter quickly took a photo of this picturesque scene.

For Lao He, Lao Zhang and others, the next 30 minutes of reporting is no longer important, especially after seeing the actual desert sweet potato with their own eyes. Listening to Qin Ke's report is just to let them know when this desert sweet potato will be

Details such as whether it can be sold on the market, how much it costs, how difficult it is to cultivate, etc. will also give them more time to think about how to promote this desert sweet potato.

After the report meeting, all the big figures stated that they would fully support the promotion of desert sweet potatoes and strive to plant desert sweet potatoes on all desert edges across the country within two years.

After the inspection by the dignitaries was completed, Qin Ke asked Wei Xueming to give prepared gifts to everyone who came to visit - a glass basin for each person, filled with sandy soil, and a sweet potato seedling propagated by cuttings.

, and there is a bottle of nutrient solution and planting instructions.

Qin Ke smiled and said: "These are the first batch of cultivated desert sweet potatoes that are cut into pieces and propagated by cuttings. They can be placed in the office. Every ten days and a half, the nutrient solution is diluted with water in proportion and poured on it.

, don’t worry about other weeding and insect repelling, I hope that in three months, everyone will be able to eat the sweet potatoes grown by themselves.”

This gift is unique and practical enough. What better way to prove the growth and reproduction ability of the perfect desert sweet potato than to personally participate in the practice?

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and this first visit after the desert sweet potatoes were cultivated was a complete success.

As for the perfect sweet potato patent technology, it is a certainty that it will be approved. This time, the boss of the patent management department and two review experts came. They patted their chests and said that the patent certificate would be printed out this afternoon.

After sending Uncle Yang and his party away, Qin Ke turned around, smiled at Wei Xueming and the researchers: "Okay, everyone has worked hard for so long. We will start two shifts tomorrow and take turns to take ten days of paid leave! As for now,

Everyone, let me and Qingjun go to the celebration banquet first! The venue is at the Capital Hotel, the car has been arranged, let’s go!”

Beijing Grand Hotel! It is a famous luxury hotel in Beijing! The per capita consumption for a casual meal is more than one thousand yuan!

Most people didn't dare to go there. When they heard that the celebration banquet was held in such a high-end luxury hotel, how could everyone not be excited to cheer and applaud vigorously?

"Wow, Mr. Qin is so generous and heroic!"

"It's worth it! No matter how hard or tiring it is, it's worth it! Long live Mr. Qin!"

Qin Ke looked at everyone's happy expressions and felt very good.

The happiest part of scientific research, apart from the fulfillment and self-improvement felt in the process of hard work, isn't it when you reap the results? Qin Ke doesn't mind being rewarded with the highest standards!
Chapter completed!
