Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 247 The Significance of Research

Just as Gu Zhan and his wife received the letter from Liu Zhong, they received a letter from Gu Dali.

The letter was written with earnest words, praying that he must help Gu Jun.

Gu Zhan sneered and said, “It seems that the old man really put a lot of thought into Gu Jun.

I have been in Beijing for four years, and the old man has never sent me a letter. When Gu Jun got into trouble, he wrote to me and asked me to help him.

Looking at his wife who has become more youthful and beautiful, and his lively and lovely daughter, Gu Zhan's heart has been filled with another kind of love.

Whether Gu Dali favors him or not no longer has much impact on his life.

After reading the letter, Gu Zhan threw it aside and ignored it. However, Liu Xiaoxi pointed at the letter on the table and said, "Aren't you going to write a reply?"

"Well, my hands are sore. Wife, if you want to reply, just write them a letter."

Liu Xiaoxi considered it over and over again and decided to give up.

Firstly, Gu Jun's matter involved a very serious matter and was not something that ordinary people could handle. Secondly, thinking of the harsh treatment the Gu family had shown her in the past, she did not intend to rush forward to comfort them.

In Shanghe Village, Gu Dalijiao was anxiously waiting for Gu Zhan's reply. He asked the postman of the township government, and he was told that a letter sent to Beijing would take at least a week to arrive. Now that half a month had passed, he should have received a reply from Gu Zhan, but there had been no movement in the past two days.

Although Zhang Qiaomei was extremely disappointed with Gu Jun, he was her only son after all. Now he was imprisoned and his life or death was unknown, and she could not sleep or eat.

It was she who suggested writing a letter to Gu Zhan. Gu Zhan was in Beijing, and with his abilities, he might be able to help.

But after waiting for half a month and not receiving the expected reply, she knew that Gu Zhan would not help her.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Gu Dali sat on the stone pier at the gate of the Gu family, waiting for the postman to deliver the letter.

Zhang Qiaomei looked at Gu Dali's bent back for a long time, then walked out. She said in a hoarse voice, "Don't wait. He won't reply."

If they were willing to help, they would have replied long ago. But there has been no reply until today, which clearly shows that they are not willing to help at all.

Gu Zhan, who was being missed by the Gu family at the moment, was at the experimental base checking the growth of the batch of chickens that had just been hatched half a month ago.

Gu Zhan was taking notes when Wen Chunming came over, sat down beside him, and said, "I think this situation is the best."

Gu Zhan nodded: "It is indeed the best solution."

"After passing the laboratory test, our white-feather chickens can be promoted." Wen Chunming said excitedly.

Gu Zhan looked up at the scorching sun above his head and said, "Promotion actually requires a lot of effort. In the early stages, we can actually consider cooperating with scientific research institutions. Later, after the market opens up, we can rely on the market. In this way, the market for white-feathered chickens can be opened up domestically."

Gu Zhan did not say the following sentence: Only when our own white-feather chickens are all over the market can we avoid being controlled by foreign breeding companies.

Wen Chunming didn't understand what was going on, so he followed Gu Zhan's words and said, "You're right."

Wen Chunming was able to relax during his rare free time. Thinking that Gu Zhan was about to graduate from university, Wen Chunming said casually, "When you graduate, we will have more time to conduct experiments."

Gu Zhan's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "That's right."

In principle, Wen Chunming was right. After graduation, he would have more time to participate in experiments, but Gu Zhan did not plan to stay in Beijing.

After experiencing his previous life, Gu Zhan has a stronger sense of local attachment in his heart. He believes that being able to contribute his knowledge to his hometown and help this land and people to better develop is the true meaning of his study and scientific research.

In fact, he had discussed this idea with Liu Xiaoxi a long time ago, and Liu Xiaoxi also agreed very much, because Liu Xiaoxi was not used to staying in Beijing, and her heart had already flown back home.

But it’s still too early to say anything now. More importantly, Gu Zhan feels that he has let down Li Ruguang’s kindness.

Li Ruguang always felt that Gu Zhan was his student, and after graduation, it would be natural for him to stay in school and join his team.

After more than 40 days of growth, this first batch of white-feathered chickens has reached the conditions for being marketed. After layers of laboratory inspections, it was confirmed that the growth conditions of this batch of chickens far exceeded expectations.

Others may not know, but only Gu Zhan knows that the conditions of these white-feathered chickens have reached the advanced level of later generations.

Huang Yue, along with Wen Chunming, Gu Zhan and others, prepared the report materials overnight, and then Li Ruguang personally reported the news to the dean Zhu Guangming.

When Dean Zhu Guangming heard the news of the successful experiment, he couldn't stop smiling and hurriedly took Li Ruguang to report the matter to the school's main leaders.

So, on an ordinary morning, a piece of news shocked the entire agricultural community: the National Agricultural University successfully bred the "Jingyu No. 1" white-feathered chicken.

This short report excited countless people, and many people in the industry said that the news came at the right time.

Nowadays, people's living standards are gradually improving, and the demand for chicken is far greater than the market can supply. The emergence of white-feathered chickens just fills the gap.

As soon as the news was released, many scientific research institutions came to inquire on their behalf and asked them when the white-feather chicken chicks would be available on the market.

In the past life, domestic white-feathered chickens were suppressed by foreign countries and gradually declined in the market. For a long time afterwards, there were no institutions or companies in China that could breed white-feathered chickens.

Therefore, to avoid this situation, Gu Zhan thought about it and came up with an idea for Li Ruguang: "Professor, I think we can cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and establish a subsidiary organization specifically responsible for the breeding of white-feathered chickens. At the same time, we can share this technology with other powerful agricultural science academies. This will not only benefit the promotion of white-feathered chickens, but also promote subsequent variety improvement."

Upon hearing what Gu Zhan said, Li Ruguang's eyes lit up: "Yes, this method is feasible."

Wen Chunming, however, was somewhat surprised. He retorted, "Why should we share the results of our painstaking research with them?"

Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "If the results of our research are not transformed into practical products, do not play their due value, and do not benefit the people, then what we have researched will actually have no meaning in existence."

Wen Chunming was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

Li Ruguang, on the other hand, patted Gu Zhan's shoulder with satisfaction and turned to leave. He still needed to discuss the idea proposed by Gu Zhan with the dean.
