Chapter 2633 Yang Xiaotao suddenly feels guilty
"Hello everyone, this is Times Radio. We have invited Professor Kabalov, a senior biologist, and Dr. Irina Kiriyeva, an authority in the medical field."

"I'm the host, Sophie!"

"Today our topic is the corn issue that people are paying close attention to recently."

In Susko's office, Gotzenfsky is signing documents with a pen.

Coming back here again, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if everything happened just yesterday.

But look at the people around you, everything has changed.

Thinking of this, Gotzenfsky thought of that woman.

"I still underestimated her."

He whispered softly, then put the matter behind him.

No matter what happens to this woman from now on, it has nothing to do with him.

Thinking this, he signed his name on the 'wanted book'.

And the person wanted was Alyosha.

"In our biological research, this artificial act of piecing two genes together goes against the normal laws of nature."

"Any violation of the rules will bring some consequences."

A hoarse man's voice came from the radio. Gotzenfsky tilted his head, then stood up, walked forward and turned up the volume.

He also paid attention to the recent "corn disease".

Almost overnight, the entire league was filled with this voice.

From high-ranking officials to peddlers, and even beggars who have no food to eat, when begging, they would ask if the bread is made of hybrid corn.

As for the mastermind behind all this, you don’t need to ask to know who it is.

There is even a shadow of the United States.

But this matter has nothing to do with him now. After completing the initial promotion, he was sent by Bemet to the "Aviation Center" to be responsible for personnel security issues.

After being stimulated by the United States' successful moon landing, the entire alliance's space work became like chicken blood, and each research institute went crazy.

In this situation, we naturally have to guard against people with ulterior motives.

Walking back to the desk, the voice on the radio was replaced by the host Sophie's.

"Dr. Elena, I have a survey report here. It surveyed 10,000 newly-formed families that have lived for three years. Among them, 5,000 families use hybrid corn as their staple food, while the other half only eat it in small quantities."

"In this report, among the people who consumed hybrid corn, only 20 percent of the households welcomed a new baby in the past three years."

"However, among the other half, 80 percent of families have children, some even having three children in three years."

"I would like to ask whether this report explains the problem, or whether the problem it explains is universal."

Sophie's voice was clear and slow, yet it had a clear tendency.

Sure enough, after the host's voice fell, another voice sounded, also a female voice. Just by listening to the voice, you could tell that she should be quite old.

"Of course, this is a very meaningful survey. Although it only includes 10,000 households and the base number is not large, it also reflects some real problems from the side."

"As for the edible hybrid corn issue that everyone is concerned about now, although this is the first time I have encountered it in my working career, food safety has attracted the attention of our laboratory over the years."

"This is already a known fact about genetic issues."

"From my professional perspective, if there is a problem with the genes inherited from the parents, it is very likely that the problem will be passed on to the offspring. Even if the first or second generation will not show it, there is still a chance that the offspring will show it."

"So, in my opinion, there is a possibility that these hybrid corns may be hindered in reproduction, but to be more certain, it is best to study the parents to find out the root cause."

"This can also solve some of the hidden dangers of eating hybrid corn."

Gotzenfsky already understood the other party's intention.

Just using this method to try to seize the other party's "parents", aren't you afraid of failing again?
Or is it that we are more prepared this time?

Or will they definitely give it to you?
Gozenvsky shook his head slightly, thinking that this matter would not be so simple and there must be a "pushing hand" behind it.

Sure enough, as questions were raised by the host and answered one by one, the focus of the questions quickly became whether hybrid corn can be eaten.

Then the female doctor of medicine spoke again, "Regarding whether or not you can eat it, this is a question that needs to be decided after careful consideration."

“And this kind of conclusion requires long-term practice.”

"For example, the hybrid corn we ate the earliest did not have this problem, which shows that some hybrid corns are safe to eat."

A smile appeared on Gotzenfsky's face.

The direction of the words is obvious.

Gotzenfsky stood up and turned off the radio, a mocking look on his face.

"Do you really think the United States is a good thing?"

"When the time comes, let's see how you end it."

"Nonsense, fabricated, confusing right and wrong, true, true."

"Really, shameless."

In the office of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, President Deng slammed the table in anger, throwing aside his usual composure.

Opposite him, Mr. Tao sat on a chair holding an enamel pot, his expression unchanged.

The hands holding the jar were shaking.

Below, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng sat opposite each other, both of them had ugly looks on their faces.

"Damn it, you blame me for not being able to have a baby."

Yang Xiaotao said unhappily, "The next step will be to say that we poisoned them."

Gao Yufeng smiled bitterly, "This 'Times Radio' is not the mainstream media of the alliance. It can only be regarded as a small regional radio station."

"Its selling points are usually to attract attention by 'showing off', 'sensationalizing' and 'being different', which doesn't mean anything."

He had been to the Alliance and lived there for a period of time. He had some understanding of Susco's situation. Seeing Dean Deng's expression, he quickly began to explain.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head after hearing this, "Lao Gao, if they didn't have the permission from above, how dare they smear us like this?"

Gao Yufeng shook his head speechlessly for a long time before he sighed and said, "Alliance, what on earth is going on?"

The room was silent and no one gave him an answer.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tao Lao spoke up again, "The other party's purpose is very clear, they want us to give in, apologize obediently, and take the blame."

"Daydreaming!"

Dean Deng scolded coldly, "It's our business, we take responsibility for it."

"It's none of our business. Don't try to put the blame on me. I don't admit it."

Yang Xiaotao also said coldly, "Everyone knows what the alliance is thinking. If they want our parents, they are just dreaming."

Gao Yufeng also agreed, "Yes, let's not care about them. It's impossible to get the parents' money."

Seeing the three people say this, Tao Lao also nodded with relief, "Don't worry about this, the higher-ups will withstand the pressure and will not compromise."

After giving the three people some reassurance, he got down to business. "You've seen it too. These evil spirits have come out, saying that eating our corn will make you infertile. We don't know what they'll do next." "This is very passive."

"So, this countermeasure must be worked out as soon as possible. We can't just rely on our own voices, we also need scientific voices to refute them."

After Mr. Tao finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Dean Deng and Gao Yufeng also looked over. They were also out of options. The only person they could rely on now was Yang Xiaotao.

"I try my best."

Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to guarantee it and could only answer this way.

Just when the four of them were silent, there was a knock on the door, and then Hou Lijing pushed the door open and walked in, looking anxious, "Chief, Dean, Director Gao, Teacher Yang"

"Did the stuff get shipped back?"

Without waiting for Hou Lijing to finish speaking, Gao Yufeng stood up and asked anxiously.

As Gao Yufeng stood up, Yang Xiaotao and others also stood up quickly.

Hou Lijing nodded quickly.

Seeing this, several people hurried out.

Soon, in a separate laboratory set up by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, three corns still covered with soil were placed on the table.

"Yang Bu, gloves."

Gao Yufeng handed a pair of rubber gloves to Yang Xiaotao, then put on a mask and walked forward.

Yang Xiaotao dresses well, not only for himself, but also for the children at home.

Viruses and bacteria are contagious.

The two walked in, while Mr. Tao and Dean Deng behind them observed through the glass.

On the side, Hou Lijing and other people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences helped.

Yang Xiaotao walked closer to observe.

The characteristics of these three corn plants are almost the same as those in the photo, or even more serious than those in the photo.

Especially the stems and leaves, they feel like they have been soaked in water and are rotten.

But other places seem to be taking root and not yet mature and growing normally.

unusual.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and looked from the soil at the roots to the spike at the top, and every leaf was clearly visible.

At this time, Xiaowei had already fallen among the corn leaves.

"Lao Gao, let's try one first."

"it is good."

Gao Yufeng agreed, picked up the nearest corn stalk, and cut it with a knife.

Soon, all parts of the corn stalks were cut.

Yang Xiaotao picked up a piece of rotten corn stalk with tweezers, then dipped a part of the rotten surface with a cotton swab and placed it in a test tube filled with saline solution.

"Let's cultivate this and see what it is."

Hou Lijing stepped forward and took the test tube.

Yang Xiaotao walked to the corn cob again, stretched out his hand to break it off, and felt that the cob was very light.

When you squeeze it hard, it doesn't feel firm, but rather like squeezing a pillow.

Without thinking too much, Yang Xiaotao peeled the corn and saw that the corn kernels inside were very sparse. He counted them carefully and found that there were only thirteen kernels. Moreover, these corn kernels were not as plump as before. On the contrary, they were shriveled and small in size.

"Damn it, it takes a lot of skill to make the corn grow like this after being damaged."

Yang Xiaotao was muttering to himself, but the people around him did not have the leisure to do so. They were all busy analyzing and recording data.

Seven or eight people gathered around the soil that was brought back, testing its composition and acidity, and they were very busy.

Seeing Gao Yufeng busy, Yang Xiaotao walked up to the other two plants and looked at them carefully.

In fact, Yang Xiaotao was communicating with Xiaowei at this time.

"Master, the vitality of these corns is almost exhausted."

“The energy is gone.”

Xiao Wei's voice appeared in his mind, and Yang Xiaotao was not surprised. He immediately asked, "Can you find out the reason?"

"They are sick. All three ears of corn are sick."

The result given by Xiaowei is the same as Yang Xiaotao's judgment.

"Can you tell what the disease is?"

Xiao Wei snorted twice, then said, "We need to observe this further."

As she spoke, Xiao Wei immersed herself in the corn stalks again.

Time passed minute by minute, and midnight passed. People began to feel sleepy and yawned from time to time in the laboratory.

Yang Xiaotao walked around, picking up corn from time to time to look at it, and then putting it down.

But the real intention was to cover up for Xiaowei.

"Master, this corn must have failed to pollinate."

Just as day was about to dawn, Xiaowei's voice rang in his mind. Yang Xiaotao shuddered and his eyes became clear.

"What did you say? No pollination?"

"Yes, Master, I just checked, these corns are different from the previous ones, that is, they have not been pollinated successfully."

Xiao Wei said confidently, "And I remember that last time you asked me to investigate a batch of corn seeds, there was a white spot in it."

"And these corn seeds all have these white spots inside them."

After Xiaowei finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately remembered the last time Gao Yufeng mentioned "production reduction".

At that time, he also cooperated in the research of many parent seeds.

The final conclusion is that the seeds of the male parent are fine, but the seeds of the female parent are not.
It seems that the corn kernels with white spots are similar to the ones in front of us.

"Are you sure?"

Yang Xiaotao asked anxiously.

Xiao Wei immediately replied, "Master, I can guarantee that it is the same thing."

"And it's this thing that prevents normal pollination."

Xiaowei spoke so confidently that she didn't notice that Yang Xiaotao's expression turned strange at this moment.

He even carefully glanced at the busy people around him and said guiltily, "Could it really be about the corn seeds?"
