356: Open provocation? The US's plan!

Inside the conference room.

Director John slowly began to speak.

"I'm sure everyone has seen this year's Global Agricultural Exhibition. I'd like to ask you, what do you all think of Huaxia Country's super fruit tree?"

Silence fell over the room for a moment.

Soon, someone snorted coldly.

"The super fruit tree, the technology looks quite impressive, but in reality, it has no research significance. I really don't know what those people are thinking; instead of spending so much effort researching this co-existence technology, they should focus more on overproduction technology!"

Another researcher nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! In my opinion, overproduction technology is the long-term development direction for future agricultural research. Food will always be a health issue that humanity needs to solve."

Someone else added.

"And the health issue of healthy food. Many primary crops now use genetic modification technology to pursue taste and more nutrition. Little do they know, disease enters through the mouth; food issues are the real key to affecting human health!"

Hearing the answers from his researchers, Old John nodded with satisfaction.

"I am very pleased that everyone can think this way."

"That's right! This research into the super fruit tree is equally worthless in my eyes! Huaxia Country chose the wrong direction this time, and at the same time, it has led other countries worldwide astray in their research directions."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as our Meijian Country adheres to its original intention and truly acts in a way that benefits humanity, one day, others will be able to see who is the true agricultural powerhouse in this world!"

Taking a sip of water, Director John continued.

"However, on a related note, Huaxia Country's proposal to research the desert rice paddy within a month is indeed a huge challenge we face."

Meijian Country's ecologists had actually noticed this problem as early as thirty years ago.

Land desertification is a man-made impact, and also a serious problem that nature finds difficult to repair on its own.

Previously, Jinta Country was correct at the exhibition.

They indeed had a long history of research into preventing land desertification and had a lot of experience.

If it weren't for that young man from Huaxia Country speaking so presumptuously about developing some desert rice paddy, this cake would already be in their mouths.

As things stand, countries worldwide are still in a wait-and-see posture.

Although everyone outwardly believes Su Yu can truly succeed in his research, how many countries actually place all their hopes on him?

Therefore, strictly speaking, Meijian Country still has an opportunity to intervene and disrupt the situation.

It's important to know that the emergence of any new technology will generate corresponding benefits.

Although Huaxia Country has promised to make the technology public, technology transfer can never be free! The profits involved are not as simple as a few small targets!

Especially for those Middle Eastern countries that are not short of money.

If one day they could live in an oasis, free from the intrusion of sand, they would be willing to pay any price.

This business must not be monopolized by Huaxia Country!

Otherwise, whether in international standing or in this technological and economic war, Meijian Country will suffer severe losses.

"Director, what do you mean?"

"During this time, not only can we not stop our research on land desertification, but we must also accelerate our research progress. Before Huaxia Country's desert rice paddy comes out, we should secure orders from other countries?"

A researcher asked tentatively.

Director John nodded.

"Exactly! Since Huaxia Country wants to compete with us on speed, then we'll compete on speed."

"After today's meeting, I will inform Professor Stephen, who is currently attending the exhibition, of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences' research results. I will have him, during these last two days of free academic exchange, connect with as many countries as possible that were originally interested in research to prevent land desertification."

"If I'm not mistaken, this research itself is already in its final stages. You should be able to complete the finishing touches within three days, right?"

The researcher looked troubled.

"Director, three days might not be enough; five days, five days will definitely work!"

Director John glared at him fiercely.

"Who will wait five days for you?! If I don't see what I want to see within two days, you can pack your bags and get out!"

"Yes, yes."

Hearing the researcher agree, Director John continued.

"Oh, and at the same time, we need to prepare for two possibilities."

"If Huaxia Country completes the research before us, then naturally, they will have to choose a country for on-site experiments."

"If I remember correctly, there's a desert within our continent that's a bit different from other deserts, isn't there? The sand there is peculiar, and no plants can survive. If Huaxia Country truly wants to conduct on-site experiments, that would be the best place for them to showcase their work!"

As he spoke, a cold smile appeared at the corner of John's mouth.

The face Meijian Country lost today in front of global agricultural science experts, he would definitely regain it.

Although Professor Stephen at the exhibition explicitly refused to provide technology to prevent land desertification to various countries.

But nothing is absolute in this world.

He believed that Professor Stephen would definitely be able to put aside his pride and, without dwelling on past grievances, find a way to re-establish friendly, mutually beneficial relationships with agricultural representatives and scientists from other countries.

After all, Meijian Country still has many steadfast friends around the globe.

With them acting as lobbyists, it might not be impossible to reclaim a large amount of national resources from Huaxia Country that originally should have belonged to them.

After the meeting.

Meijian Country's Academy of Agricultural Sciences acted swiftly.

At Professor John's request, all two hundred-plus researchers in the academy put down their ongoing projects and fully assisted the research team for preventing desertification to complete the final project wrap-up.

At the same time, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also contacted the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking him to publicly announce Meijian Country's new plan.

They planned to conduct a global live broadcast within three days to showcase a research project that had truly been ongoing for thirty years.

Countries interested in this could attend the event in person.

As soon as the news broke, the world was instantly abuzz!

Everyone understood that it seemed Meijian Country was truly pushed to the limit by Huaxia Country this time.

Showcasing results within three days, choosing this timing clearly aimed to seize the initiative and suppress Huaxia Country's desert rice paddy before it could emerge.

However, people did not show any dislike or outright rejection regarding this.

After all, Meijian Country's scientific research strength has always been evident; a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. No one knew whether the technology hidden for over thirty years or Huaxia Country's super-genius scientist would prevail.

Everyone spoke with the final results.

If Meijian Country's final exhibition effect was better than Huaxia Country's, they wouldn't mind re-establishing friendly relations with Meijian Country.
