When I met Zheng Qu at the Western Regions Botanical Research Park, this researcher, who had been unsuccessful in research work for many years, was immersed in the joy and excitement of making major breakthroughs by himself and his team.

As a senior researcher in the field of genetically modified, Zheng Qu is quite clear that the achievements they have made will have a large impact and sensation in this field.

What Lu Yu and Xu Chengliang said that in the future, it can treat cancer only by using base editing to achieve gene knockout, and gene addition and transfer have not been included.

It can be used not only on plants, but also on animals.

It can be said that the success of base gene editing will have a profound impact.

These Lu Yu can be seen, and of course Zheng Qu can also be seen.

Lu Yu patted Zheng Qu on the shoulder a little funny: "Old Zheng, focus, people of such an old age are watching you."

This is naturally about the young people in the research team led by Zheng Qu.

Zheng Qu smiled red and said, "I'm going to tell you, Mr. Lu, I was so excited last night that I didn't fall asleep."

Lu Yu: "Haha, then you have to adapt quickly. In a short time, the name of your Zhengqu and Zheng University scientist will spread all over the country and abroad, and will be recorded in the history of human development in Blue Star in the future."

Zheng Qu imagined such a scene, his eyes full of longing: "I really never dreamed that Zheng Qu would have such a day, thanks to Mr. Lu, your support and ideas."

Lu Yu shook his head: "There is financial support, but I didn't help with research. At most, I'm just a so-called so-called. I'll just say I want to go to heaven. Who knows you can really build an airplane?"

Zheng Qu: "Those ideas are also very important."

Lu Yu said seriously: "It's fine to talk privately now. Don't say that when you go out in the future. I am a pure layman, and I will provide you with ideas as a senior research expert, and make you laugh at me when you say it."

Zheng Qu wanted to say something else, but Lu Yu said unscrupulously: "I am serious. Lao Zheng, it's yours, it's yours, there is no need to take credit for me. Our company doesn't pay attention to this."

Seeing that Lu Yu was speaking extremely seriously, Zheng Qu nodded and agreed.

...

Lu Yu: "Okay, tell me how you succeeded. I'm very curious."

When Zheng Qu talked about this, he opened up and talked endlessly about their research.

Lu Yu also listened with interest and occasionally asked a few questions.

After Zheng Qu finished speaking, Lu Yu said: "Thank you so much for this period of time. Don't worry, you won't lose a point in the bonus you deserve."

Zheng Qu didn't care much about this because he knew that Lu Yu could not be stingy.

Those who are willing to spend a lot of money to conduct research will also treat researchers who have achieved results unfairly?

No matter how stingy a person is, he will not put the cart before the horse in this regard.

After all, when doing research, it depends on people. He believes that Lu Yu will not be so short-sighted.

So he asked another thing he was more concerned about:

"Mr. Lu, did you say on the phone that you can post papers?"

Lu Yu turned his head and looked at him: "You can post it, but before the company's patent application is applied, publishing a paper requires review by the company. I believe you can understand the reason."

Zheng Qu nodded: "Yes, that's what it should be."

Lu Yu: "But Lao Zheng, although he has made major research breakthroughs now, he cannot relax the research on drought-resistant plants."

"No matter how far-reaching the impact of base gene editing is, we have not yet covered many aspects, and we are not good at it. We have not made any mistakes in the current research focus."

Zheng Qu: "I can save it. Actually, I am good at plant genes, and the rest can only be considered as understanding at most."

...

Lu Yu: "Although we are only studying plant genes now and are just drought-resistant plants, we can still study other plants in the future."

"For example, cold-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant, plants that absorb inert gases, plants that can purify sewage, have many directions. With base gene editing, many can become reality."

"To add many new characteristics to existing plants, we need to open the door to imagination. These can be talked to the young people in your team more, their thinking is more open and more imaginative."

"If you do well, it can also change the world. Even if one day we rush to the universe and starry sky, we can also transform plants that adapt to the atmosphere and geological environment of other planets."

Zheng Qu was stunned by Lu Yu's statement:

"Haha, I really hope that I can see what Mr. Lu said in my lifetime, and it will be a waste of time to come here."

Lu Yu: "Although I call you Lao Zheng, I haven't seen you really old. Why do you speak like an old man in his seventies or eighties?"

Zheng Qu: "Isn't this a momentary sigh?"

Lu Yu: "Don't sigh, think about it quickly. When the company's legal affairs come, we will study the patent application together and build our patent moat. In the future, we can also learn from foreign giant companies and wave the patent stick when we have nothing to do."

Zheng Qu: "Mr. Lu, I am doing research."

Lu Yu pretended to be gritting his teeth: "What's wrong with the research work? Only those who do research work know more about which patents we can apply for."

"I can tell you clearly that even the corners and corners of this achievement must be registered for patents. Anyone who touches it, can't let go of any of it."

Seeing that Lu Yu was funny, Zheng Qu made a rare joke with Lu Yu:

"Is this the true face of the capitalist?"

Lu Yu said angrily: "If you don't do this, what support do you need to continue your research in the future?"

...

Liu Shichang temporarily dispatched legal personnel from several companies to act as patent departments, and soon rushed from Shudu to the Western Regions Botanical Research Garden.

After this incident, Lu Yu and Liu Shichang both realized that the company urgently needed to establish a complete and formal patent department, otherwise with the increase in research projects in the future, the company would easily cause unnecessary losses.

Previously, the company had no need to apply for patents at all, and there was no need for pink, white, black and black. Yunhan Technology did not plan to register, and it was open source, so why should I apply for patents?

This also led the company to ignore the establishment of the patent department.

Lu Yu led Zheng Qu and several members of the research team, and this group of not very professional patent teams, were studying patent applications for base gene editing for several days.

We strive to register all the new technologies and methods required for this achievement as patents.

For a top research institution and a top upstream company, the patented moat must be wide enough and wide enough that others cannot get around.

Even though I finally got around it with great effort and spent countless funds and time, I found that it was far less cost-effective than paying the toll.

...

Fearing that there were omissions, Liu Shichang finally found a well-known patent agency registration company in Shudu, and sent a team to help him. When he was helping with the patent application process, he also checked for omissions and made up for the gaps.

Applying for a patent is not an easy task. The previous domestic patent application process has already made Lu Yu a little dizzy, not to mention that there are many overseas patent applications, which are even more complicated.

Not a professional person, it is really not easy to handle.

It was not until the team of this patent agency registered company came that Lu Yu and Zheng Qu had free time to discuss the subsequent research on drought-resistant plants.

With the powerful tool of base gene editing, the research path of drought-resistant plants is much simpler.

When Lu Yu heard Zheng Qu talk about the research plan, he nodded from time to time.

According to their two of them, it is best to transfer the drought-resistant plants into algae genes, in other words, allowing drought-resistant plants to absorb water directly from the air.

You should know that even if the roots of the plants are developed, there is no water underground in arid places, and the plants cannot survive.

It’s different in the air. In the driest desert, the air also has a humidity of 3%. As long as the leaves of the plant can absorb moisture from the air, they can still survive.

However, this is not a simple matter. As we all know, the leaves of plants are mainly transpired.

What is the transpiration effect?

It is the process of water dissipation into the atmosphere from the surface of living plants in a state of water vapor.

Not only is it affected by the external environment, but also regulated and controlled by the plants themselves, it can be said to be a complex physiological process.

It is precisely because of transpiration that the roots of plants absorb water from the soil.

If it is now transformed into transpiration and absorbing water from the air, it is a pair of opposite contradictions, and it is not easy to achieve balance.

In addition, the water storage capacity of drought-resistant plants is also very important.

Like the cactus in the desert, it has strong water storage capacity. Even in drought weather, it can survive for a long time by relying on the water stored in the plants.
