371: Forest One? Even dogs wouldn't want it.

“Hahahaha, I can’t take it anymore. I wonder if Brook can understand the Streamer’s passive-aggressive remarks.”

“The USA has really run into a tough opponent this time. Of all the people you could have provoked, you chose to provoke the Streamer. Now you’ve really made a fool of yourselves.”

“You can’t blame the Streamer. He didn’t actively want to go to the USA to prove himself; it was Dean John’s sincere invitation that was hard to refuse.”

“I’m very curious now and want to interview those countries that have already signed orders with the USA. How are they feeling right now?”

It’s safe to say that before just now, no one thought that today’s highly anticipated livestream would end in such a way.

When Su Yu arrived in the USA, everyone expected to see a unique technological feast.

Ultimately, this feast was indeed seen, but Su Yu was the only protagonist.

When the desert rice seed transformed the Sea of Death Desert into a green oasis, all the other countries around the world that had been waiting and watching finally made up their minds.

forest one? No thanks, not even a dog would want it!

Who would want something that can’t even display a final product?

They boasted so much at the press conference, but what was the result? Not even a seedling grew in the end.

And this was even with the help of Su Yu’s growth-accelerating greenhouse.

Don’t blame it on the desert soil containing toxins, preventing forest one from growing as desired.

You chose the experimental site yourself. Why can others’ rice seed grow, but your seedlings can’t?

That’s not a reason or an excuse.

In contrast, the performance of the rice seed left all global viewers in awe.

Just as Su Yu explained from the beginning, the rice seed has a short growth cycle, strong adaptability, and an incredibly high-cost performance!

I ask, besides the desert rice seed, what other crop can grow in such an environment and still yield a harvest?!

For developing countries and desert regions lacking food and grain, this is simply the best crop.

It can not only improve the environment and solve the decades-long problem of desertification but also address food shortages, truly killing two birds with one stone.

Most importantly, the seed price is affordable even for impoverished countries.

Wealthy countries that only want to solve desertification can also use the first generation rice seed to turn the yellow sand into soil, then dig up all the rice seedlings and plant their preferred plants. This is also feasible.

The operation is not complicated.

Compared to the expensive price of forest one and its worrying survival rate, it goes without saying that everyone knows who to turn to in the future to solve the desert problem.

Su Yu put on his zodiac mecha again in the livestream and soared into the sky.

On his way back, he had already received a notification from Dean Li.

The country expressed its sincere gratitude for Su Yu’s actions on this trip.

If the super fruit tree's appearance at the Global Agricultural Exhibition laid the foundation for China’s rise in agricultural science, then the desert rice seed elevated China to an even higher level.

It truly became the international leader in the field of agricultural science.

In fact, the country had long ago included high-tech talents like Su Yu in its key focus.

As early as when Hex Biotechnology shone brightly during the Wenchuan Great Earthquake, the country had already noticed him.

Whether it was the subsequent National Security protection, troop stationing, or the provision of various high-tech materials by the country through private high-tech companies during the creation of the zodiac mecha, all were gestures of goodwill towards Su Yu.

As for any substantial rewards,

Given Su Yu’s current situation, money is merely a number to him.

More than that, it is the country’s needs for him.

Therefore, building his reputation has also become the best reward the country can currently offer him.

Sure enough, Dean Li’s call had just ended.

A more mysterious message appeared on Su Yu’s phone.

The source of this message would be very difficult for even Lackey to trace back, indicating it was likely sent by someone of higher status.

As for who it was, Su Yu didn’t need to guess, nor was there any need to.

What was important was the content of the message.

“Dear Mr. Su.”

“Thank you for your selfless dedication to China’s scientific endeavors! In one week, there will be a global awards ceremony for the most influential figures.”

“As the top scientific talent in the country in recent years, each of your inventions has been recorded in the national archives. Whether it’s aerospace technology, anti-counterfeiting technology, biotechnology, civilian inventions, agricultural science, or military technology, every research breakthrough has had a huge impact nationwide and even globally.”

“Therefore, we sincerely invite you, as a representative of China, to participate in this Global Most Influential Figures Awards Ceremony. We will also be your strongest backing to help you reach the top of the Most Influential Figures list!”

“If Mr. Su is willing to participate, you can directly dial the following number after the livestream ends: 3943-2894-****”

Good heavens.

This call probably goes directly to someone even higher up, doesn’t it?

Su Yu looked at the message content, momentarily lost in thought.

Once upon a time, he was just a Zha Gou Pen Streamer on the Kuaishou Platform, unnoticed by anyone. He never would have imagined that he could reach where he is today.

He just returned from the USA, and now he receives an invitation from the country to participate in some awards ceremony a week later?

Although Su Yu had never heard of this ceremony before.

But listening to the name…

Global Most Influential Figures Awards Ceremony!

Firstly, this is a global event. Secondly, to be called the most influential figure, one must have made significant contributions to the entire world to qualify for participation. The prestige is already at its peak.

Unless one is renowned globally in a certain field, they probably wouldn’t be qualified to attend this ceremony.

Su Yu estimated that he probably only qualified for this shortlist after completing the super fruit tree and the all-terrain first generation rice seed.

Otherwise, with his previous inventions,

While indeed well-known domestically, they had not yet impacted the entire world.

He was now suddenly very curious about this list. He wondered how many people were on the shortlist and who they might be.

Su Yu had Lackey search online for news about the awards ceremony.

Unfortunately, after searching the entire internet, Lackey couldn’t find any clues. It seemed this was top-secret information. Perhaps only those who made it onto the shortlist in each country would receive this news.

As for why it hadn’t caused a global sensation, it was probably a tacit understanding among all countries.

This significant news would eventually be announced; it was just a matter of when the secrecy would end.
