"Sister, don't say that. The money for the rope is the money for the rope, and the money for the silkworm eggs is the money for the silkworm eggs. These are two different things." Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Okay, big brother, I'm going to help you find the silkworm eggs. However, it may take half a day. You don't have to wait here. You can come back tomorrow morning."
It is not easy to find silkworm eggs. This eldest sister didn't want Zhao Zhongyao to wait here all the time, so she just asked him to come back the next day.
After hearing what the elder sister said, Zhao Zhongyao said again: "Okay! I'll come back tomorrow." Zhao Zhongyao also felt that he was busy with work and couldn't wait here all the time. He would also delay driving here tomorrow It won't be long.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao returned to the base after discussing with the elder sister.
The next morning, Zhao Zhongyao drove to the elder sister's house by himself.
After seeing the elder sister, Zhao Zhongyao looked at her and asked, "Elder sister, have you found the wild silkworm eggs?" The elder sister looked at Zhao Zhongyao and smiled: "Fortunately, after searching for a long time, I finally found it." Some, I'll show you."
After the eldest sister finished speaking, she went back to the house and took out a twig from a piece of rag. Then he came to Zhao Zhongyao.
"Look! These are wild silkworm eggs." The eldest sister, speaking, put this twig in front of Zhao Zhongyao.
Zhao Zhongyao took the branch and looked at it, but saw nothing at first. It feels like there is nothing on this branch.
"Sister, what's on this branch! Why do I feel like there's nothing there?" Zhao Zhongyao looked at the branch in his hand and felt that there was nothing.
"Brother, you have to look carefully. These silkworm eggs are very small. If you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all." The eldest sister, seeing that Zhao Zhongyao couldn't see the silkworm eggs on the branch, she Then he walked to Zhao Zhongyao's side again and pointed it out to him.
After the elder sister pointed out, Zhao Zhongyao saw something as small as the tip of a needle on one side of this small branch. These things are really too small, if you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find them.
"Sister, it's these little things." Although Zhao Zhongyao is not a biologist, he has seen some silkworm eggs, and it doesn't feel like these silkworm eggs in front of him.
"Yes! These are wild silkworm eggs." The eldest sister looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the elder sister again and said, "Elder sister, why are these wild silkworm eggs different from silkworm eggs! I have seen some silkworm eggs before, but they are not so small. Although they are not very big , but it is also easy to see."
After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, the eldest sister smiled again and said, "Of course wild silkworms are different from silkworms. Silkworms are bred from wild silkworms. In order to increase the production of silkworms, silkworms must grow bigger A few. And the wild silkworm is half the size of the domestic silkworm! You say that the larva of the wild silkworm is half the size of the silkworm larva, so how big will its silkworm eggs be?"
The eldest sister saw that Zhao Zhongyao didn't understand why the silkworm eggs of these wild silkworms were so small, so she explained again in this way.
After Zhao Zhongyao listened, he understood what was going on. But he still doesn't understand why the silk of the wild silkworm is so much stronger than that of the domestic silkworm.
So, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the elder sister again and said, "Why is the silk of the wild silkworm stronger than the silk of the domestic silkworm!"
After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, the elder sister said again: "I'm not very clear about this issue. I think it may be that silkworms spun too much silk. If the quantity is too large, the quality will naturally decline. And the silkworms spun by wild silkworms Less silk. Less quantity means higher quality. In addition, wild silkworms live in the wild, so they must make their cocoons very strong. Otherwise, they will be eaten by other animals casually. How do you breed your own offspring?"
After hearing what the elder sister said, Zhao Zhongyao seemed to understand something. He looked at the elder sister again and said, "Okay, what the elder sister said is very reasonable, maybe this is the reason. Well, you take the hundred dollars, and I will take the silkworm eggs away."
As Zhao Zhongyao said, he took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to the elder sister.
When the elder sister saw that Zhao Zhongyao wanted to give her money again, she felt a little embarrassed. Immediately looked at Zhao Zhongyao generously and said: "Brother, no need, you have already given me two hundred yuan, you can take the money yourself!"
"Sister, don't say that, these silkworm eggs are so small, you must have spent a lot of effort when looking for them, how can I make you work hard for nothing!"
Zhao Zhongyao thought, the silkworm eggs this elder sister found are so small. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it in front of people. In this case, it is conceivable that this eldest sister must have spent a lot of effort to find these things in the mountains.
"Big brother, what is the hard work! We often work in the mountains, and we are used to it. This bit of hard work is nothing at all."
What this elder sister said is also true. Women in the countryside like them, how could they be the same as women in the city and don't contribute much. Women in rural areas, like their men, also have to go up and down to work frequently.
"Sister, no matter what, this is your labor reward, so you can take it! Your mountain village is really poor! If there is a chance, I will help you get rid of poverty and become rich."
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao suddenly had a strange idea. He was thinking, if their research is successful this time, then they want to study
If some new types of body armor are produced, there must be a large amount of 'biological steel'.
And to produce a large amount of 'biological steel'. This requires a large number of wild silkworms. But to breed a large number of wild silkworms, it requires the help of the local people. If they can help together, it is equivalent to giving them a chance to work. In this way, they can earn money without having to travel far.
Hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the eldest sister was of course very happy. But she didn't take Zhao Zhongyao's words seriously, and felt that what he might have said was a polite remark. It's not that I really want to help them get rid of poverty and become rich!
"Really! Thank you so much, big brother. Oh, I forgot, I heard that you are the director of that 'Jianghai Machinery Factory! From this point of view, you can really help us get rid of poverty and become rich. Here, On behalf of the whole village, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the eldest sister didn't pay attention to it at first, and thought that what Zhao Zhongyao said might just be a polite remark. But thinking about it again, Zhao Zhongyao's identity was the director of the Jianghai Machinery Factory not far from their village, and she felt that it was not impossible for Zhao Zhongyao to say such a thing.
"Sister, don't worry! Our Jianghai Machinery Factory will continue to expand and grow stronger. At that time, if we need some workers, we will also let young people from your village work. At that time, Then you can have a formal job like the people in the city."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that what he had to do was to speed up the country's economic construction. Improving people's livelihood and improving people's living standards is the purpose of building a country.
The purpose of all our work is not to let the people live a happy life. And how to live a happy life, the first thing is to give people a job that can earn money to support their families, so that they can rely on work to support their families with peace of mind.
This eldest sister, seeing Zhao Zhongyao's seriousness, of course she was also very moved. She looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, "Thank you so much, with your words, the time for the whole village to live a good life is coming soon."
"Sister, you don't have to be so polite, this is what we should do." Zhao Zhongyao also said politely.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhongyao said some kind words to the eldest sister, and then drove the car again, taking this twig, and returned to base 308.
After Zhao Zhongyao returned to the base, he showed Liu Feng this twig.
When Liu Feng first saw this twig, his expression was the same as that of Zhao Zhongyao. Because, he is also rooted on this small root, so he can't see anything. I don't know what is the use of Zhao Zhongyao giving him a small branch.
"Liu Feng, look at what's on this branch." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng and said.
Liu Feng held the twig that Zhao Zhongyao gave him. He looked around but couldn't understand it. There seemed to be nothing on this twig. That's something. He can't see it at all.
"There are some small wild silkworm eggs on it. Take a good look for yourself. It's on the side of this small branch." Zhao Zhongyao saw that Liu Feng couldn't see these small silkworm eggs, so he also gave him some pointers .
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Feng also took a closer look at this twig. On the side of this twig, he finally found some tiny particles. These tiny particles are as small as the tip of a needle, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all.
"Is it these little things!" Liu Feng was also very surprised when he saw the tiny particles on this twig. "That's right, it's these small particles. They are the eggs of wild silkworms." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Feng again and said.
Although Liu Feng specializes in biology, he has always studied silkworms, such as silkworms. He really has no research experience in this kind of wild silkworms.
"Then do we want to hatch these wild silkworm eggs now, and then raise them up and let them spin silk." Liu Feng feels that this is what Zhao Zhongyao wants to do now.
"No, we still need to transplant the spider's gene into the body of this kind of wild silkworm, so that the silk they spit out has the strength of spider silk. Although the silk spit out by these wild silkworms is already very strong, it has not yet reached it. What we require is the strength of 'bio-steel' that can be used for body armor."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that the silk of this wild silkworm was very strong, but it had not yet reached the strength of the'biological steel' that Zhao Zhongyao wanted to study. If you want the silk of this kind of wild silkworm to have the strength of the "biological steel" he said, you must complete the genetically modified technology of this kind of wild silkworm, so that the silk spun by this wild silkworm has the characteristics of spider silk. specialty.
"Okay, what Director Zhao said makes sense, then our next step is to do this, and we will definitely research the 'biological steel' we want." After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Feng felt very reason. Now that they have these wild silkworms, it seems that it is not too far from the time when the 'biological steel' is researched.
In this way, during this period of time, Zhao Zhongyao and Liu Feng carried out genetically modified transplantation of these silkworm eggs, and transplanted the spider gene into the silkworm eggs of this wild silkworm. Then, the wild silkworm eggs were hatched into small wild silkworms.
Of course, all of this is done in a greenhouse. It's only March and the weather is still relatively cold. After Zhao Zhongyao hatched these wild silkworm eggs, he got some fresh mulberry leaves for them.
Because Jianghai City is very close to the sea. Although it belongs to the southern region. But the climate here is affected by the ocean, but it is still relatively cold. In winter here, the mulberry trees on those mountains also lose their leaves.
In order to get some fresh
The mulberry leaves turned out to be a flight to a place farther south than Jianghai City, where they found some fresh mulberry leaves. Fortunately, these wild silkworms are very small and don't eat much. A mulberry leaf is enough for it to eat for several days.
Zhao Zhongyao just picked about ten catties of fresh mulberry leaves, enough for these silkworm babies to grow up.
These wild silkworms live comfortably in the greenhouse, eat quickly, and grow quickly. In about a month, these silkworm babies have grown to half the length of silkworms. Such a size, for wild silkworms, has already grown up.
Soon, the bodies of these wild silkworms slowly changed color. It was cyan at first. Slowly it turned white, and finally, these wild silkworms turned yellow.
When the bodies of these wild silkworms change, they no longer eat mulberry leaves. At first, Liu Feng didn't understand what was going on. Although he had studied silkworms before. But he didn't know much about wild silkworms.
Liu Feng knew that when the silkworm was about to spin silk, it stopped eating mulberry leaves. But the color of its body hasn't changed much, it usually just becomes a little whiter.
But the wild silkworms they raised now turned golden yellow when they grew up, which is a bit strange. For a while, Liu Feng didn't understand whether this change was good or bad.
"Director Zhao, all our wild silkworms have changed color." Liu Feng was the first to see this situation. Because, he often takes care of these wild silkworms. Since Zhao Zhongyao has other jobs, he only comes to see these little wild silkworms when he is free. Under normal circumstances, Liu Feng will take care of them.
