Chapter 55 Zero’s Breakthrough
Come to the temporary laboratory of edible fungi.
In the temporary laboratory for edible fungi, in order to ensure that the temperature of the greenhouse is controllable, the outside of the greenhouse can only be covered with an insulation layer, and several large industrial air conditioners are installed.
In the experimental greenhouse divided into small rooms.
Shuya wore full-body protective clothing and a filterable helmet, observing the conditions 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 still cause fungal infections in the respiratory tract.
Many farmers or workers who have been engaged in the edible fungi cultivation industry for a long time have been infected by fungi to some extent because they neglected protection.
In fact, this is also an old problem of many low-level workers in China.
For example, masters who install air conditioners do not use safety ropes when working at high altitudes; workers who cut stone do not wear dust masks.
Situations like this are very common.
It's not that many people can't afford labor protection supplies, but they think that they are master craftsmen and can be brave and skilled. However, they don't know that if they often walk by the river, there is no reason why their shoes won't get wet.
As the saying goes: Those who drown are often those who know how to swim.
This is what Jiang Miao has repeatedly told Shuya: other things are not important, the body is the root of everything.
Therefore, since studying edible fungi at Nanhu Farm, Shuya has been wearing protective clothing and helmets and entering the greenhouse to do research.
Just as Shuya was observing the bag of materials attentively, the intercom on her belt rang.
"Aya, which shed are you in?"
Shuya picked up the intercom and pressed the talk button: "In the White Truffle No. 1 greenhouse."
"Can I go in?"
"Okay, come on!"
Ten minutes later, Jiang Miao came in wearing protective clothing and a helmet.
Shuya was still observing a row of material bags.
Jiang Miao didn't bother her, but focused on looking at the other bags.
Sweeping 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: Mushroom bud stage, the fruiting body has formed, and it is expected to enter the growth stage after 86 solar days…]
Jiang Miao's eyes narrowed.
‘We have actually entered the mushroom bud stage. We are only one step away from success! ’
Generally speaking, the life cycle of macrofungi can be divided into five stages.
Namely: mycelium stage, primordium stage, mushroom bud stage, growth stage and maturity stage.
During Shuya's previous research, although the white truffle fungus was successfully brought into the mycelium stage and primordia stage, there has been no successful case 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 it enters 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 of the same control group in this room entered the mushroom bud stage. Among the 30 bags, only 7 entered the mushroom bud stage.
Obviously, the ingredient solution for this bag is not good enough, and there is still room for further optimization.
Observed for a while.
He did not immediately notify Shuya, but looked at the remaining three small rooms.
Among the bags in the remaining three small rooms, he discovered that four more control groups also had mushroom bud stages.
Obviously, the formula ingredients of these four control groups are similar to those of the previous control group.
The conditions during the mushroom bud fruiting period in these four control groups are: 5 bags out of 30 bags, 6 bags out of 30 bags, 13 bags out of 30 bags, and 1 bag out of 30 bags.
The control group that produced 13 bags out of 30 bags was the formula with the highest value.
After recording the data of these control groups and collecting samples, Jiang Miao came to Shuya. "Aya, good news."
Shuya pressed the internal defogging button on the helmet. The fog on the transparent plastic plate of the helmet quickly disappeared. Only then did she see Jiang Miao's figure clearly and asked casually: "What's the good news?"
< br>
"You'll know after just looking at it." Jiang Miao turned the data to the pages recording the five control groups with mushroom bud stages, and specially circled them with a red pen.
She took the record book and looked at it for a while. Her eyes suddenly widened and her breathing became rapid: "There are white truffles in the mushroom bud stage, and there are five groups. It's great, Amiao, I feel it. We are not far from success.”
Shuya jumped up with excitement. After a while, she hurried to room 17: "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 bag 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. I saw a white fungus a little smaller than my little finger, which is the bud of the white truffle.
"Huhu...it really does!"
She quickly covered the materials with soil again, and then carefully observed the conditions of several other materials bags, and saw the mushroom buds in them.
Shuya was serious and continued to check the remaining four control groups without stopping.
Then he took the samples collected by Jiang Miao and returned to the temporary laboratory in the container house without stopping.
Seeing her full of enthusiasm, Jiang Miao took it as a short vacation for herself and helped her with some preparations for the experiment.
Unknowingly, the sun was setting outside the window.
The rays of sunlight reflected on the side of Shuya's face, and the fine hairs and sweat beads were clearly visible. He took out a wet tissue and wiped it with her.
Shuya didn't react much, maybe because she was used to the way the two of them got along.
Jiang Miao leaned close to her ear and reminded gently: "Aya, it's time to get off work. There is no overtime pay for working overtime in violation of regulations."
"I'm happy to!" Shuya rolled her eyes at him, but she ended the observation quickly, put the experimental supplies back into the cabinets by category, and put the samples into a special freezer.
The two of them packed up before walking out arm in arm.
The evening breeze at the end of April is cool yet a little warm.
"An Ning, you drive back to the headquarters with Wen Na."
"Okay, boss."
Jiang Miao was driving a small electric donkey, and Shuya was sitting behind 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's headquarters. The two places are very close, at the beginning of the village and at the end of the village.
After a while, Jiang and Miao rode their electric donkeys back to the entrance of the company's headquarters.
After he stopped the car, he took a look at the newly renovated laboratory. The contractor who contracted the laboratory equipment had successively transported a large number of instruments and equipment in the past few days.
Manager Du, the project leader of the contracting company, saw him and hurriedly came over to say hello: "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang."
"Manager Du, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, but the food has been delivered."
Jiang Miao glanced at the large and small boxes stacked in the laboratory parking lot, and then saw a dozen workers from the contracting company covering the boxes with tarps.
At the same time, more than a dozen high-brightness lighting lamps were turned on, illuminating the area around the stacked equipment boxes as if it were daytime.
Near this side of the road, there were several pickup trucks and minivans, as well as an RV parked.
Obviously there will be many employees of the contracting company staying here tonight.
This is very normal. After all, the total cost of these instruments and equipment is more than 40 million. If someone steals it, or a passing child picks up rags and takes one or two things, or if the parts are damaged, it will definitely be A huge loss.
Even in order to avoid a car accident, the people from the laboratory contracting company moved closer to the side of the road and blocked it with their cars, just to avoid being hit by passing cars.
Jiang Miao chatted with Manager Du for a while and inquired about the installation progress of the instruments and equipment. Knowing that the installation and commissioning would be completed in early June, she said goodbye to each other and took Shuya to the company cafeteria for dinner.
