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

Chapter 232 Results

With the knowledge accumulated in his previous life, a simple final exam did not attract Gu Zhan's attention.

But Liu Xiaoxi was different. He attached great importance to this exam and was afraid that he would fail.

That morning, Gu Zhan went to school as usual and worked on the experiment with Huang Yue. Liu Xiaoxi was reading at home with her children. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Puzzled, Liu Xiaoxi opened the door and saw that it was the postman.

"Hello, is this Comrade Gu Zhan's home? Here is a letter from him."

Liu Xiaoxi nodded, reached out to take the letter and took a closer look at the envelope. Seeing that it was written by Guo Zhida, he guessed that it was about the cattle farm.

At noon, Gu Zhan returned from school. Liu Xiaoxi immediately handed him the letter she had received that morning: "It was sent by Guo Zhida from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Gu Zhan understood what was going on. He guessed that he would receive a letter from Guo Zhida in the next few days, but unexpectedly, the letter had already arrived today.

Gu Zhan eagerly tore open the envelope, took out the thin piece of letter paper, glanced at it, and said to Liu Xiaoxi with a smile: "Wife, the matter of Shanghe Village is settled."

Liu Xiaoxi naturally knew what Gu Zhan was talking about. Recently, Gu Zhan had often talked about the cows in Shanghe Village that had embryos transplanted, and now it seemed that there was a result.

Liu Xiaoxi smiled brightly and said to Gu Zhan, "Congratulations, Gu Zhan, your wish has come true."

"Xiaoxi, do you know how big an impact this technology will have? It can significantly increase the production speed of our livestock industry. Whether it's draft cattle, beef cattle, or dairy cows, they can all reproduce rapidly through this technology, and our animal husbandry economy will develop quickly."

"Gu Zhan, you are really amazing." Liu Xiaoxi said sincerely.

After calming down a little, Gu Zhan carefully read the entire content.

Guo Zhida told Gu Zhan that these cows had successfully given birth, and all indicators of the calves' physical condition were very good, except that their weight was a little low. However, after nutritional feeding, they are now almost catching up with naturally bred calves.

At the end of the letter, Guo Zhida also asked when his summer vacation would be, and hoped to take advantage of the summer vacation to return to Shanghe Village as soon as possible to deal with follow-up matters.

After reading the letter, Gu Zhan didn't even have time to eat. He went out to find a phone and called the Shanghe Village Brigade Headquarters.

The person who answered the phone was Zhou Jiawang. During this period, there were waves of people coming from above, and Zhao Baogen was too busy to receive them all, so he was handling some matters of the brigade headquarters on their behalf.

"Who is it?"

Recognizing Zhou Jiawang's voice, Gu Zhan hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm Gu Zhan. Please help me find Guo Zhida from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"Hey, just say it's that expert named Guo. He's been very busy these days, working on the cattle farm."

Zhou Jiawang didn't understand the technology, so he couldn't understand why. Wasn't it just a cow giving birth to a few calves? These provincial experts were watching them every day. What was there to observe? Was it the calves' eating, drinking, defecating, or urinating? They were treating them with even more meticulous care than taking care of a child.

"It's okay, Uncle Zhou. Please tell him. If he doesn't come, forget it."

"Okay, I'll go to the cattle farm and call for help."

At the cattle farm, Guo Zhida had just finished his work in the cowshed and was sitting on a bench at the door of the duty room with Zhao Baogen to rest when he saw Zhou Jiawang jogging towards them.

"What's the matter? Why so anxious?"

Zhou Jiawang slowed down, took a few breaths and said, "Team Leader Guo, Gu Zhan called you."

When he heard it was Gu Zhan calling, Guo Zhida turned his head and looked at Zhao Baogen, and said excitedly: "Xiao Gu must have received the letter, so he called."

He quickly stood up and followed Zhou Jiawang to the brigade headquarters to answer the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Guo Zhida's excited voice came through the receiver: "Xiao Gu, our experiment succeeded, succeeded, hahahaha, Xiao Gu, you are really amazing."

Gu Zhan smiled knowingly and said, "Team Leader Guo, you're too polite. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Guo Zhida felt relieved after hearing this and asked, "By the way, Xiao Gu, when can we go back to Shanghe Village?"

Gu Zhan roughly calculated the time: "It will take about ten days to come back."

"That's good, that's good. I'm almost overwhelmed here. Oh, and by the way, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and President Sun have said that we can now declare this technology a success."

Gu Zhan nodded and said, "As long as all indicators of our experimental samples are normal, we can announce it. This way, we can also seize the initiative."

At this time, although everyone's technological competition rarely involves direct comparison with foreign countries, in subsequent development, the order of the emergence of technologies is always publicized intentionally or unintentionally, which is closely related to the level of technology and affects many commercial values. Now Gu Zhan is more willing to announce the news as soon as possible, which will bring greater benefits to agricultural breeding in the future.

Guo Zhida did not fully understand the meaning of seizing the initiative, but he did understand Gu Zhan's meaning. Now they can announce to the outside world that their project has been successful.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Zhida quickly called Sun Yuan: "Dean, I just spoke to Xiao Gu on the phone. He said that the news of our successful bovine embryo transplant can now be announced to the outside world.

Sun Yuan was so happy that he couldn't sleep these days. He didn't expect that moving the experimental base to Shanghe Village would bring such great results. This made their Academy of Agricultural Sciences proud.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away and report to the leaders of the Agriculture Department."

Sun Yuan changed into more formal clothes and walked into the gate of the Agriculture Department.

Sun Yuan is usually very frugal, so why would he dress so formally today?

When Director Jiang Liqun saw Sun Yuan, his first reaction was that this old expert must have something good to say today. Based on his understanding of Sun Yuan, he would only wear this dress when reporting on scientific research results. It can be said that this dress has become his exclusive attire for reporting results.

Jiang Liqun was delighted. "President Sun, is there any good news?"

Sun Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Director, good news."

"Oh?"

"Do you still remember the bovine embryo splitting experiment you personally approved last year at the Shanghe Village Experimental Base? That project has yielded results, and we succeeded."

Jiang Liqun was also surprised when he heard this: "The results came out so quickly, the speed is quite fast."

"That's right, our project is thanks to that kid Gu Zhan."

At the beginning, no one was sure whether this project could be carried out. At the same time, experiments in many places only dared to focus on small mammals. Only they actually accomplished this under such difficult experimental conditions in Shanghe Village.

"Is that the young man you mentioned before? Did you bring him here to meet me this time?"

Sun Yuan laughed and said, "Director, that might really be an unfortunate coincidence. That kid passed the college entrance exam and was admitted to our National Agricultural University. He's currently attending classes there. If he wants to come back, it'll probably be the end of July."

"I see. It seems we still have talented people in Ontario."

"Director, I came to see you today because I have another matter."
