357: Strike first, win big; America's global live stream

Three days later.

Inside Meijian Country's Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Dean John listened with delight as his subordinate researcher reported.

"Dean, after simulated experiments, our desertification-fixing plant successfully passed last night's test."

"This plant is a root-type plant, capable of surviving and developing even in the scorching desert sun. Once it enters its growth phase, its roots will rapidly extend in all directions to grasp the sand."

"Moreover, the entire process requires no additional manual intervention; one only needs to scatter the seeds on the land at the desert's edge, and the seeds will grow and sprout on their own."

The researcher, with prominent dark circles under his eyes, summarized their intensive research results of the past few days in the simplest terms.

That's right! Through the collective efforts of the entire Academy, they finally brought to fruition the thirty-year research project on preventing land desertification.

Although no on-site tests had been conducted, according to the large model calculations of the computer AI, the survival rate of the seeds could reach over eighty percent.

This survival rate was already up to standard.

As long as the seeds could survive, it meant that the subsequent plan to control land desertification through roots was viable.

"Have you named these seeds?"

John looked up and asked.

The researcher pondered for a moment, then shook his head, flattering him.

"We haven't named them yet. Dean, this research was initiated by your command. Now that the experiment has achieved results, it should be you who personally names it."

The smile in Dean John's eyes deepened.

"Alright, then let's call it forest one."

"With forest one, the problem of land desertification will be easily solved. People only need to purchase the seeds, scatter them on the desert's edge, and then simply wait for time to pass."

"Oh, and give me a copy of all the data reports for the seeds."

"Then, also prepare a copy of the publishable experimental data in advance. We will hold a press conference shortly to announce this good news to the world."

The researcher put down the report data board in his hand.

"Yes, Dean, I'll go prepare it now."

After the researcher left, Dean John then dialed his superior's number.

Completing the final research in three days, they did it!

With the current achievements, he now believed even less that his team of over two hundred people, plus more than thirty years of research, could not surpass that young man named Su Yu from China.

At this press conference, he would certainly showcase it well to the world, to those countries that questioned them at the agricultural exhibition...

Meanwhile, in Yucheng City, China.

Su Yu, on his second visit to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, felt a completely different atmosphere compared to his first visit.

If the first time he met these agricultural experts, everyone came to the hall entrance to welcome him out of respect for Dean Li, then this time, his arrival was met with a collective welcome from all agricultural experts, stemming from their genuine appreciation.

They had watched the live broadcast of the Global Agricultural Exhibition.

If Su Yu hadn't come initially, they would never have been able to display the super fruit tree on the day of the exhibition, shocking the world.

After the accident on the day of the exhibition, if Su Yu hadn't appeared again in time to turn the tide and save the super fruit tree, China would have lost face in front of all countries worldwide.

Therefore, Su Yu was no longer just a young man supported by the Dean in their eyes; he was a true agricultural expert of China!

The concept of desert rice paddy, once proposed at the exhibition, was even more astonishing!

This let global audiences know that besides Elder Yuan, who was world-renowned, there was also an energetic young man in China promoting the prestige of a great nation.

Su Yu wasn't particularly interested in fame or international recognition.

He was originally a Streamer who made a living with his words and skills.

Since he had the ability to change the world and solve desert problems for countries that needed help, as a member of Blue Star, Su Yu felt this was also his responsibility.

Isn't there a saying like this?

With great power comes great responsibility.

Once, he was just a small Streamer who made dog bowls, attracting traffic with various pranks and humor.

But now, he *was* the traffic!

His audience had also shifted from domestic to global.

So, being able to contribute to Blue Star's ecology, Su Yu felt it wasn't a waste of the rewards the system gave him.

Most importantly, the current desertification of land in China was also becoming increasingly severe, and his research on this could also solve China's problems.

Ultimately, Su Yu decided to conduct this research directly at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Here, there were sufficient experimental raw materials and the country's top scientific research equipment. He only needed to follow the methods taught by the system, try step by step, and with some time, he would be able to research it.

In front of agricultural experts from various countries around the world, Su Yu promised to release the experimental seeds for desert rice paddy in as little as a week, or at most half a month.

But in reality, all the research was completed within five days.

Such an opportunity for China to gain global recognition was naturally better sooner rather than later. The faster the speed, the more it could demonstrate scientific research strength.

Su Yu did not know Meijian Country's (USA) plans, but inadvertently, he ultimately chose to hold the press conference on the same day as USA.

However, USA was just five hours earlier...

USA, Academy of Agricultural Sciences Press Conference.

Two hours ago, news of the successful research of forest one emerged, and once released by the official institutions of USA, it instantly shocked the world!

Countless countries, upon receiving this news, immediately understood.

It seemed that Huaxia Country's (China) actions at the Global Agricultural Exhibition indeed made USA feel a strong sense of crisis.

If this were in the past, the powerful USA would at most just talk. Even if they outwardly promised to announce research results, they would drag out the time again and again.

They would drag it out until the whole world depended on them to be the savior, and then they would make a dazzling appearance with profitable contracts!

But this time was different.

The young scientist from China had declared that the desert rice paddy seeds would be released in half a month.

USA was forced to act preemptively, seizing the international market to avoid a direct confrontation.

After the news was released.

John arrived at the press conference venue with his materials to prepare.

Soon, the press conference proceeded smoothly!

On site, reporters began to ask questions one after another.

"Dean John, could you briefly explain the specific role of forest one in combating land desertification?"

John cleared his throat and began to speak eloquently from the speech notes in his hand.
