Chapter 55 Zero Breakthrough
Come to the temporary laboratory for edible fungi.
In the temporary laboratory for edible fungi, in order to ensure that the temperature of the greenhouse can be controlled, we had to use an insulation layer to cover the outside of the greenhouse, and installed several large industrial air conditioners.
In an experimental greenhouse divided into small rooms.
Shuya, wearing a full-body protective suit and a filter helmet, observed the condition of each bag, taking samples and recording them from time to time.
Although she was cultivating edible fungi, Shuya did not take it lightly. After all, edible fungi are also fungi. If they are inhaled into the lungs in large quantities, they may cause fungal infections in the respiratory tract.
Many farmers or workers who have been engaged in the edible fungus cultivation industry for a long time have been infected by fungi to varying degrees because they have neglected protection.
In fact, this is also an old problem for many low-level workers in China.
For example, the master who installs the air conditioner does not use a safety rope when working at high altitude; the worker who cuts stone does not wear a dust mask.
Situations like this are very common.
It's not that many people cannot afford labor protection supplies, but they think they are old masters and can be brave and skilled. However, they don't know that if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
As the saying goes: Those who drown are often those who can swim.
This is also what Jiang Miao repeatedly told Shuya. Other things are not important. Health is the foundation of everything.
Therefore, since she started studying edible fungi at Nanhu Farm, Shuya has been wearing protective clothing and a helmet to enter the greenhouse to do research.
Just as Shuya was concentrating on observing the bag, the walkie-talkie on her belt rang.
"Aya, which shed are you in?"
Shuya picked up the intercom and pressed the talk button: "In the White Truffle Shed No. 1."
"Can you go in?"
"Sure, come on!"
After more than ten minutes, Jiang Miao also came in wearing protective clothing and a helmet.
Shuya was still observing a row of material bags.
Jiang Miao did not make any noise to disturb her, but looked intently at the other bags.
Scan through the small rooms one by one.
Until you come to the small room numbered 17.
After he opened the door, he used the identification panel as usual and observed it carefully.
[…Status: bud stage, fruiting bodies have formed, expected to enter growth stage after 86 solar days…]
Jiang Miao's eyes fixed.
'It has actually entered the mushroom bud stage, which means it is only one step away from success!'
Generally speaking, the life cycle of macrofungi can be divided into five stages.
That is: mycelium stage, primordium stage, bud stage, growth stage, and maturity stage.
In Shuya's previous research, although she successfully got the white truffle to enter the mycelium stage and primordium stage, there were no successful cases in the mushroom bud stage.
Entering the mushroom bud stage is also a key node in the artificial cultivation technology of edible fungi, because once entering this stage, it means that the edible fungi are only one step away from success.
Jiang Miao observed it carefully again.
It was found that not all the mushrooms in the same control group in the room entered the mushroom bud stage. Among the 30 bags, only 7 entered the mushroom bud stage.
Obviously, the formulation of this material bag is not good enough and there is still room for improvement.
Observed for a while.
He did not go to inform Shuya immediately, but checked the remaining three small rooms.
Among the material bags in the remaining three small rooms, he discovered that four control groups also had mushroom buds.
Obviously, the formula ingredients of these four control groups are similar to those of the previous control group.
这4个对照组出菇蕾期的情况，分别是：30袋出5袋、30袋出6袋、30袋出13袋、30袋出1袋。
The control group with 30 bags out of 13 bags is the formula with the highest value.
After recording the data of the control group and collecting the samples, Jiang Miao came to Shuya. "Aya, good news."
Shuya pressed the internal defogger button on the helmet, and the fog on the transparent plastic plate of the helmet quickly disappeared. She could see Jiang Miao's figure clearly and asked casually, "What good news?"
"You'll know once you take a look." Jiang Miao turned to the pages that recorded the five control groups that had reached the mushroom bud stage, and circled them with a red pen.
She took the record book and looked at it for a while. Her eyes widened and her breathing became rapid. "There are actually five groups of white truffles in the bud stage. That's great, Miao. I feel like we're not far from success."
Shuya was so excited that she almost jumped up. After a while, she hurried to Room 17 and said, "No, I want to see it with my own eyes."
Jiang Miao smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything. This is human nature.
After arriving at room 17.
Shuya's excited heart finally calmed down a little. She carefully observed the material bags marked by Jiang Miao with a marker. Sure enough, she found a small bulging bag on a part of the material soil. She used tweezers to slightly open it and saw a white fungus that was smaller than her little finger. This was the mushroom bud of the white truffle.
“Hoohoo…it really is!”
She quickly covered the material bags with soil again, and then carefully observed the conditions of the other bags, and saw mushroom buds in them.
Shuya was serious and did not stop, but continued to check the remaining 4 control groups.
Then he took the samples collected by Jiang Miao and rushed back to the temporary laboratory in the container house.
Seeing how energetic she was, Jiang Miao took the opportunity to give himself a short break and helped her with some preparations for the experiment.
Before I knew it, the sun was setting outside the window.
The sunset glowed on Shuya's face, and the fine hairs and sweat beads were clearly visible. I took out a wet tissue and wiped her face.
Shuya didn't react much, probably because she was used to the way the two of them got along.
Jiang Miao leaned close to her ear and gently reminded her, "Aya, it's time to get off work. There is no overtime pay for working overtime against the rules."
"I'd love to!" Shuya rolled her eyes at him, but still finished the observation quickly. She sorted the experimental supplies back into the cabinet and put the samples into a special freezer.
After they had packed up, they walked out arm in arm.
The evening breeze at the end of April is cool yet a little warm.
"An Ning, drive back to the headquarters with Wen Na."
"Okay, boss."
Jiang Miao was driving a small electric scooter, and Shuya was sitting behind him with her arms around his waist.
Ke Yong and another bodyguard followed closely behind in a pickup truck.
In fact, Nanhu Farm is less than five minutes away from the company headquarters. The two places are very close, at the head and tail of the village.
After a while, Jiang Miao and his companion rode their electric scooters back to the entrance of the company headquarters.
After he stopped the car, he took a look at the newly renovated laboratory. The contractor of the laboratory equipment had transported a large number of instruments and equipment over in the past few days.
Manager Du, the project manager of the contracting company, saw him and hurried over to greet him: "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang."
"Manager Du, have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet, but the food has been delivered."
Jiang Miao took a look at the large and small boxes piled up in the laboratory parking lot, and saw a dozen workers from the contracting company covering the boxes with waterproof cloth.
At the same time, more than a dozen high-brightness lighting lamps were pulled to illuminate the area around the boxes of instruments and equipment as if it were daytime.
There were several pickup trucks, vans, and an RV parked on this side of the road.
Apparently, many employees of the contracting company will stay here tonight.
This is also very normal. After all, these instruments and equipment cost more than 40 million in total. If they were stolen, or a passing child or a rag picker took one or two things, or if the parts were damaged, it would definitely be a huge loss.
In order to avoid any traffic accidents, people from the laboratory contracting company would even block the side of the road with their cars to avoid being hit by passing cars.
Jiang Miao chatted with Manager Du for a few words and asked about the installation progress of the instruments and equipment. Knowing that the installation and debugging could be completed around early June, he said goodbye to him and took Shuya to the company cafeteria for dinner.
