Chapter 112: The Clouds and Waves

Chapter 112: The Clouds and Waves (Medium)
When public opinion outside was in an uproar.

Jiang Miao, however, had a calm look on his face. He was taking Stationmaster Guo and others to photograph the eel breeding base, strawberry greenhouse, breeding experimental greenhouse, smart greenhouse and laboratory.

Wearing full protective suits and helmets, they felt as if they were in a space station in outer space.

"Boss Jiang, your protective measures are very comprehensive! Do ordinary employees also have the same level of protection?"

Facing the camera, Jiang Miao smiled and replied: "Yes, because this is to prevent the bacteria carried by the human body from contaminating the planting area, and it is also for the health of the employees. After all, if you have been engaged in the edible fungus cultivation industry for a long time, you may be infected by the spores of the edible fungi."

"This is something that needs to be considered." Stationmaster Guo smiled and turned his head to look at the employee who was harvesting white truffles. He asked curiously, "How many white truffles can this bag produce?"

"Each bag is about 60 to 120 grams." The employee replied shyly.

Stationmaster Guo was very surprised: "Really?"

Jiang Miao cooperated by taking out an electronic scale and placing it on the operating table of the cart beside him: "Stationmaster Guo, we can randomly collect a few bags of materials and check the weight."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Stationmaster Guo pointed to a few material bags, and the harvesters immediately dug up the dirt and wood chips on the surface of the bags.

After a while, five white truffles were pulled out. Their shapes were relatively regular and generally appeared in clumps, which is why its professional scientific name was named "white truffle".

Five freshly unearthed white truffles were displayed in front of the crowd and the camera.

Stationmaster Guo, wearing a glove, gently picked up a white truffle and placed it on the electronic scale. Suddenly, a number popped up on the display of the electronic scale: 103g
Soon all five white truffles were put on the electronic scale.

结果分别是103克、94克、116克、81克、96克。

Stationmaster Guo turned his head again, smiled at Lin Shuya and asked, "It seems that the average yield per bag is about 100 grams. Ms. Lin, how many white truffle cultivation bags can be arranged in one acre of intelligent greenhouse?"

"We usually arrange 6000 bags on one floor, and 6 floors above and below, for a total of 3.6 bags." Lin Shuya answered fluently.

Stationmaster Guo continued to ask: "By this calculation, doesn't it mean that one acre can produce 3600 kilograms? I wonder how long the current growth cycle is? I heard that the Agricultural and Forestry Research Institute in Panshi City, Sichuan Province, simulates the natural cultivation of white truffles, and it takes 6 to 8 years to harvest."

"Yes, our company's white truffle yield per mu is about 3600 kilograms, and the growth cycle is 95 days, which includes other preparation work and harvesting time."

"So, we can plant 3.5 crops a year?"

Lin Shuya smiled and nodded: "Yes, but we also have to consider the maintenance of the smart greenhouse and regularly conduct a comprehensive disinfection inside the greenhouse, so three crops a year is a more suitable cycle."

"Boss Jiang, how big is this smart greenhouse?"

"150 acres."

"Let me think about it." Stationmaster Guo pretended to think: "150 mu, 3600 kilograms per mu, three crops a year, can produce 1620 tons a year, an average of about 4.4 tons a day."

Jiang Miao smiled and agreed: "That's right."

"I heard that the price of white truffles in the international market has dropped to about 4500 yuan per kilogram. I wonder if the price of white truffles will continue to drop in the future, so that ordinary people can also enjoy it?"

Jiang Miao explained bluntly: "Not in the short term, because our current production capacity can just meet the needs of the global high-end market. Unless we expand production on a large scale, the price will remain at around 1000 to 4500 yuan per kilogram. Considering the recovery of research costs and other investments, this price will last for at least five or six years, and then decline year by year."

"I see. Indeed, for agricultural enterprises, the huge initial investment must be recovered." Stationmaster Guo also understood this.

After all, it is easy to lower the price, but the problem is that the huge initial investment of the enterprise cannot be recovered quickly, which will lead to the lengthening of the capital chain and insufficient investment in continued research and development.

"In fact, I position white truffles as condiments, so ordinary working people who want to try them can also buy online the special trial version that our company will launch next, which costs 40 yuan for 50 grams."

This is obviously an embedded advertisement, which was also discussed by Jiang Miao and Webmaster Guo. The price for a 10-second advertisement is 3.2.

Stationmaster Guo held a box of small white truffles for trial and introduced them: "This price is really great. The aroma, freshness and size of Hailufeng's white truffles are comparable to those of Italian white truffles."

"Before this, the retail price of Italian white truffles in China was generally over 1 yuan per kilogram, which means that 50 grams of Italian white truffles cost at least 500 yuan. However, Mr. Jiang, is there any difference between this small ball white truffle and the large ball white truffle?"

Jiang Miao smiled and shook his head: "There is not much difference. The strains of the two are the same. It is mainly because of some subtle environmental changes during the growth process that a small part of the white truffles grow smaller, but the accumulation of their flavor is up to standard."

"Then I feel relieved." Stationmaster Guo put down the small white truffle ball in his hand and looked at Lin Shuya:

"Ms. Lin, what are your plans next? Will you continue to study white truffles? Or will you challenge other edible fungi that have not been conquered by humans?"

Lin Shuya said confidently: "The cultivation technology of white truffles is already very mature, and there is little value in continuing research. I do plan to study other edible fungi in the near future."

"Is it convenient to disclose it?"

"Of course, I plan to study the large-scale production technology of morels in the near future."

Stationmaster Guo raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? As far as I know, Morchella can be cultivated artificially in China. Is Ms. Lin planning to make Morchella more productive?"

Speaking of her professional field, Lin Shuya became more confident: "Yes, in fact, after studying the artificial cultivation technology of white truffles, I think symbiotic edible fungi are not difficult to conquer, and all edible fungi have an optimal growth environment. As long as we can gather these conditions in the smart greenhouse, the production capacity can be greatly improved, and the growth cycle can be shortened to a few months, just like white truffles."

Stationmaster Guo smiled at the camera and said in a rhythmic tone: "I believe that viewers across the country, like Stationmaster Guo, are looking forward to Ms. Lin developing artificial cultivation techniques for rare and delicious edible fungi such as Morchella, Alpinia ternata, and Russula, so that these wild delicacies can be sold to ordinary people."

Soon the second video was edited that evening.

Obviously, the 17 Village Channel also knew that Lin Shuya was very popular, so they quickly completed the video editing and secondary dubbing, and then released the video.

As soon as this video was broadcast, the number of views increased sharply.

17 villages’ social accounts on the A-B platform.

The cumulative number of views in one hour has exceeded 50, and the number of comments has reached more than 4.

On other social software, and even on foreign platforms such as YouTube and X, the number of views has been rising steadily.

The comment section below the video on platform X.

Anne from Sicily: [Oh my god? Artificial cultivation technology of white truffles? ]

Roman Archon: [Is this the legendary developed country crusher? Another of our industries has been conquered. Who will save Europe? ]

Persian cat: [Looking forward to it. ]

Bacillus and stomach: [It's just white truffle, not as good as my Indian masala. ]

Li Wei De: [I had it at the Peninsula Hotel last night. It tasted good, and was no different from Italian white truffles.]

Food writer Cai Tao: [I went to the mainland to eat it the day before yesterday. The taste is similar to Italian white truffles, but there are some small differences. The earthy fragrance of Hailufeng white truffles is softer, and the sweetness is more obvious, which is more suitable for the taste of Oriental people. ]

Hedgehog in the durian garden: [Teacher Cai said so, I am very much looking forward to eating it in Malaysia. 】

Ma Sheng from Open Source: [Congratulations on your technological breakthrough. I look forward to trying your products in America.]

Saburo Ozawa: [Why can't China develop this kind of technology? Japan is getting worse and worse. From now on, I can only kneel on the ground and look up to my father. ]

Wood, who only drinks Coke: [This technology must have been stolen from America. This is unforgivable.]

If it is on foreign social software, the comments on Hailufeng Company's artificial cultivation technology of white truffles tend to focus on the technology itself and its impact on the Italian white truffle industry.

At this time, the comment sections on domestic social software were in a state of chaos.

Some people praised the technology.

Some people complain that white truffles are too expensive.

Some people criticized Handong University and the Du Bolun father and son.

Someone is deliberately making a fuss.

Some people questioned that Lin Shuya was too young.

Someone is maliciously provoking a fight.

In short, the main focus on the Internet is species diversity.

Maybe the timid otaku in real life will become a fighter who debates with a group of people on the Internet, or a madman who speaks wildly, or a king of criticism who criticizes everything, or he will let himself go without restraint.

Of course, a large number of people are actually the silent majority, and they prefer rational praise and discussion.

The reason why the comment section seems to be in chaos is that the Internet and big data recommendations will continuously recommend similar content to the corresponding people based on each person's browsing terms and content on the Internet.

In this situation, it is easy to see extreme opinions clustered together. Fortunately, people who follow the agricultural channel tend to be more traditional, and although there are occasional noises, the overall atmosphere is still relatively good.

However, the situation is somewhat different in the comment sections of other media.

Over time.

The pressure from public opinion is growing stronger and stronger.

Handong University had to announce on its official website that it had suspended Du Bolun's position as a doctoral supervisor. At the same time, it stated that the school had intervened in the investigation and had set up a special investigation team, which would give an explanation to all sectors of society as soon as possible.

...

Du Bolun and his son, who had originally planned to leave Handong Province overnight and go to the Magic City to avoid the limelight, were intercepted by Vice Principal He and his group who were sharpening their knives.

"Where is Professor Du going?"

Du Bolun, who usually was arrogant, now had a look of horror on his face, because after he saw the few people next to Vice President He, he knew that there was no turning back in this matter.

One of the middle-aged men took out a document, opened it, and handed it to Du Bolun: "Du Bolun, please come with us!"

"Dad! Call grandpa quickly!" Du Jinxuan said without thinking, as he had not yet faced the reality.

"Shut up!" Du Bolun yelled at his son. He knew he was in trouble. What's the point of bringing out a retired father at this time?

After all, it is inevitable that people will forget about you when you leave.

After all, the Du family is just an academic family. In the family, he is already the one who has climbed the highest in the domestic academic world in this generation.

Of course, one of his senior brothers is more powerful than him, but the problem is that under the current circumstances, his senior brother will not take any action at all. After all, the things Du Bolun did have been confirmed, and there is no such thing as false accusation.

At this time, if his senior brother chose to help him, he would probably end up in trouble.

Any smart person would not jump out to help Du Bolun at this time. The best choice is to remain silent.

What's more, they are just brothers in the same school, not real brothers. Even if they are real brothers, they will not help each other at this time.

Du Bolun and his son Du Jinxuan looked as pale as death, and were taken away together under the moonlight.

Obviously, Jiang Miao had prepared sufficient evidence this time and would not give Du Bolun and his son any chance to quibble or get away with it.

Song Lei, who was still in school, was naturally paying attention to this matter secretly.

As Du Bolun and his son went in to have tea, Vice Principal He was not idle either. He quickly summoned Song Lei and four others who were still in school to the school's teaching department.

Song Lei, who already held a grudge, naturally cooperated very well. Apart from the fact that he received a mysterious email and secretly asked his brother to sell dirty information, he confessed everything else.

Other doctoral students also had no good feelings towards the Du Bolun father and son. They confessed that they had ghostwritten or researched those papers and how Du Bolun had coerced them.

Even Lu Lan, who couldn't stand the pressure, revealed that she had been made pregnant by Du Bolun and had secretly returned home for an induced abortion last year.

With the revelations from these students, the content was several times more than what was exposed online, which made Vice President He and others exclaim in amazement. At the same time, they were also very clear that this time Du Bolun and his son would never be able to turn things around.

"Principal He, this information is very useful." A middle-aged man with a smiling look said, holding the information provided by one of the students.

"Oh? What is it about?"

"Regarding Du Bolun's wife Tang Ke, according to the student's description, Du Bolun once sent him to the New Era Information Consulting Service Company founded by Tang Ke for some special training. Later, the student felt that the training was a bit unusual, so he used the excuse of being sick and did not participate."

Vice Principal He reacted instantly: "What are you saying? Is it possible that Tang Ke is working for someone outside?"

"Ok!"

"You guys continue, I'll make a call right away."

In fact, Jiang Miao had known about this for a long time, but he was also very clear that this kind of information was not something a student could easily collect, so he did not include it in the email to Song Lei at the beginning.

Anyway, this kind of thing will soon lead to the consequences.

As expected, these students saw Du Bolun's downfall and "Huang Hanwen" stabbed him in the back, so they felt that there was no need to hide anything for Du Bolun and simply told everything out.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Du Bolun's father, who was enjoying his old age in Shanghai, was anxiously making a phone call in the lobby of his villa.

"Hello, Wu Xin! It's my teacher..."

"Oh? It's you, teacher. It's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet? I'm working with a few colleagues here and can't leave for the moment. I'll call you in a few days to apologize."

The other party didn't give Du Yongfeng a chance to continue speaking. He took the initiative and hung up the phone.

"Dududu..."

Listening to the call being hung up, Du Yongfeng's face looked like a piece of pig liver that had been left out for a long time: "Huhu... OK, OK, you are really my good student, you are so ungrateful!"

The daughter-in-law Tang Ke beside her also looked anxious: "Dad! You should think of a solution quickly, Jinxuan is your eldest grandson!"

"What's the hurry?" Du Yongfeng made another call, but the owner of this phone was more direct and simply didn't answer.

As calls were made one after another, none of the students were willing to help, or simply avoided listening.

Du Yongfeng was so angry that his chest kept heaving. He quickly put a few nitroglycerin tablets in his mouth to relieve the pain in his chest. However, he did not realize that his pacemaker had already connected to the signal of the mobile phone.

Just then, the doorbell of the villa rang.

The nanny hurried to open the door.

After a while.

A dozen people in black suits rushed in from behind the panicked nanny.

Seeing this scene, Tang Ke's face changed as if he remembered something, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Du Yongfeng's eyes widened, and then he asked in a low voice: "Everyone, my son is just guilty of academic misconduct, is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

The middle-aged man in the lead glanced at Du Yongfeng, then turned his gaze to Tang Ke, who was already sweating profusely: "Ms. Tang Ke, your consulting company has a wide range of business! It has even reached America. Why don't you go back and talk to us about how your company operates?"

"What?" Du Yongfeng was stunned, then he looked at his daughter-in-law tremblingly: "Tang Ke, you..."

Obviously he had guessed what Tang Ke's company had done, which made him extremely angry in an instant. His heart seemed to be pinched by a big hand, and his lips quickly turned purple.

The middle-aged man saw something was wrong and immediately called for help: "Send him to the hospital immediately."

"Dad!" Tang Ke was also at a loss.

But soon Du Yongfeng regained some energy, but half of his body was stiff, which was a sign of hemiplegia caused by a stroke.

Amidst the panic, Du Yongfeng was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Tang Ke was also taken to have tea.

Overnight, the Du family fell apart.

Du Yongfeng suffered a stroke and is suffering from hemiplegia. He is currently receiving emergency treatment in the hospital. However, even if he is rescued, hemiplegia is inevitable.

The next day, other members of the Du family were also summoned, including Du Yongfeng's students, Du Bolun's students and friends.

Those who have been to Tang Ke’s company went straight in to drink tea.

Even Lin Shuya was specifically invited to talk for more than an hour.

Jiang Miao, the instigator, accompanied Shu Ya.

On the way back, Shuya was shocked: "I didn't expect that Tang Ke would do such a thing. She wanted to arrange for me to intern at her company before, but fortunately I didn't go."

"Okay, it's all over." Jiang Miao smiled and hugged her, soothing her somewhat uneasy mood.
