Chapter 264 Zheng Fa's Idol

The setting sun hangs outside the mountain, and the dusk is warm.

In the nursing home, Zheng Fa is practicing.

He had advanced to the late stage of foundation building before, and during this period he was busy teaching Senior Sister Zhang, which delayed a lot of time for cultivation, so he wanted to save every minute.

In modern practice, although the total amount of spiritual power cannot be increased, the purity of the spiritual power seems to have improved, which can make his foundation more solid and make future breakthroughs smoother.

Therefore, Zheng Fa never slacked off.

"Zheng Fa, Aunt Yang called just now."

"Aunt Yang?"

"Oh, it's Team Leader Yang."

Tang Lingwu patted his forehead and said.

Zheng Fa was puzzled, how come these two knew each other so well...

"What did she say?"

Because of the interference of spiritual energy on electromagnetic induction, he kept his cell phone far away and turned it to silent mode when he was practicing.

Generally, no one comes to see me.

Maybe Team Leader Yang couldn't find me, so he called Tang Lingwu.

"She didn't say anything, but she seemed very anxious and asked you to call her after you finished practicing."

Zheng Fa turned around, walked into the room and took out his cell phone.

Sure enough, there were three calls from Team Leader Yang.

Zheng Fa called back.

…

Team leader Yang is comforting an old man next to him.

The old man was skinny, had a dark complexion, and was wearing a not-so-new shirt. He looked like a character from an oil painting.

"Mr. Hou, you are already so old, and you still came all the way to the capital. Zheng Fa is not the type who likes to make friends..."

She said to the old man somewhat helplessly.

The old man laughed and said, "I have a good hybrid rice research team, but you have transferred away several key members..."

"This, Mr. Hou, you also know the inside story."

Team leader Yang explained helplessly, "I dare say that you are the first in the country to know about this. You have also seen the peas..."

"I know, so I'm going to come and see."

Hou Lao said softly.

Team leader Yang was also helpless.

Although Mr. Hou is not an official and has no power, he is highly respected and his health is not very good.

When she gets stubborn, she really can't do anything.

"Before, as you know, there were a few people who wanted to visit Zheng Fa, just those few people." Team Leader Yang sighed, "He didn't see him either."

"Oh? So difficult to deal with?"

Then the old man spoke, his voice dry.

"He has a good temper and is easy to talk to..." Team Leader Yang thought for a moment and gave a frank evaluation, "But you know, when people are confident, they don't care about anything."

Mr. Hou nodded slightly, as if he had heard it.

"Why do you want to see him?"

Hou Lao glanced at her, and seemed to see that she didn't want to offend Zheng Fa, so he just said, "Please ask for me."

Just as Team Leader Yang was about to speak, the screen of his cell phone lit up. It was a call from Zheng Fa.

"Zheng Fa? Yes, I did look for you."

"Someone wants to visit you...I know, I know."

"Mr. Hou, you know, it's just..."

"You know?"

"Welcome? Oh, sure!"

Team leader Yang put down his phone, his face blank, and suddenly he smiled to himself.

…

Putting down his phone, Zheng Fa thought for a moment and walked towards Teacher Tian's laboratory.

"Teacher Tian, ​​are you free?"

He shouted into the lab.

"What's wrong?"

Not only Teacher Tian, ​​but others also came out.

"I'd like you to cook a few dishes." Zheng Fa said, "A guest is coming."

"Who is it? Do you take it so seriously?"

Teacher Tian asked curiously.

"Mr. Hou."

Teacher Tian was stunned for a moment: "Is he coming?"

She actually seemed to know Mr. Hou and even respected him. She walked out of the laboratory with a smile and said hastily, "I'm going to cook!"

Tang Lingwu came over, tilted her head, stared at Zheng Fa's face and said, "You seem very excited."

"It's not excitement, it's respect." Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "He was my idol when I was a child."

When I was a child, I was hungry in the Xuanwei Realm and lay in bed unable to fall asleep because my stomach was empty.

He would think of the name he saw in modern textbooks -

At that time he thought, if there were gods, they would be this kind of people.

Today, I have truly become an immortal.

His thoughts became even more profound.

…

Team leader Yang drove towards the nursing home.

Team leader Yang looked at Mr. Hou through the rearview mirror.

Mr. Hou sat in the back seat, staring out the window absentmindedly.

Outside the window, the mountains are full of spring colors, with grass and trees covered in red and green, which is very different from the bleak scenery outside the mountains in winter.

Team Leader Yang actually saw some nervousness on Mr. Hou's face.

She was full of confusion: Zhengfa needed agricultural talents, which was easy to say, as the higher-ups had already made preparations.

After all, they had proposed agricultural cooperation a long time ago.

Mr. Hou’s team is considered to be the best in the country, and on the other hand, it is also the one that the higher-ups trust the most.

Just like she said before.

Mr. Hou was one of the first scientists in China to know about nursing homes.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mr. Hou directly asked to come to the nursing home.

She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out why.

Seeing the tension on Mr. Hou's face at this moment, she was even more surprised.

Mr. Hou seemed to notice her gaze, turned around, and smiled at her in the rearview mirror.

"Is that so?"

He pointed ahead.

The car just arrived at the nursing home.

And Zheng Fa was standing at the door.

Team leader Yang was startled and stepped on the brakes.

…

Zheng Fa watched Hou Lao staggering out of the car.

The old man's footsteps were a little strange, one foot was light and the other was heavy, as if he had some problems with his legs or back.

"Thank you for your help."

Mr. Hou said as soon as he got out of the car.

Teacher Tian stepped forward, helped Mr. Hou, and said, "Why don't you call me before you come?"

"I'm not worried that it will be inconvenient for you."

Mr. Hou glanced at Zheng Fa, as if hinting at something.

"I heard you got married before, but I didn't even give you a red envelope."

"I'm so old, and I haven't invited anyone."

It seems that Teacher Tian and Mr. Hou are indeed familiar with each other, and they are chatting about parents.

Zheng Fa looked at Mr. Hou.

It seems that the old man is not in good health.

Especially because of the long journey, his face looked even more sallow.

Teacher Tian introduced several people to him. Seeing that he looked so bad, he didn't bother to talk and just pulled him into the house.

Zheng Fa fell behind, and after watching Mr. Hou walk away, he said to Team Leader Yang beside him:

"Waiting for Laolai? Is it for treatment?"

Team Leader Yang's words on the phone were unclear, and Zheng Fa didn't understand why these two people came to the nursing home.

At this time, it seems that Mr. Hou’s health is not very good.

He naturally guessed so.

Team leader Yang shook his head and said, "How should I know? Mr. Hou wanted to come on his own, but..."

There was a hint of longing in her eyes, and she was obviously worried about Mr. Hou's health, but she seemed to be unfamiliar with Zheng Fa and did not dare to speak rashly.

Zheng Fa nodded.

Team leader Yang was delighted, and he secretly understood Zheng Fa's preferences...

"We did have some results on the circuit representation of artificial intelligence. I brought them to you." It seemed that Team Leader Yang came here not only for Mr. Hou, and he said, "There are quite a lot of plans, and they are all very complicated."

Zheng Fa was delighted.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He always remembered this.

It can be said that Senior Sister Zhang’s theory of spiritual energy circuits has been partially confirmed by Grandmaster Jiushan.

This made him more interested in this research.

However, this research was extremely complex. At the beginning, Zheng Fa was able to understand everything from gate circuits to computing modules.

But what about the circuit representation of a neural network... Zheng Fa felt a bit of a headache after reading it.

This thing is mainly complicated. If you want to reach a certain level of intelligence, the circuits are almost endless.

Senior Sister Zhang admitted that it was all a coincidence.

In other words, only in modern times can we see some hope if we can use computing power platforms and conduct research at all costs.

As they talked, they walked to the living room of the main building of the nursing home.

The dishes were already on the table, and Teacher Tian was saying, "You've come just in time, come and try my cooking."

Mr. Hou smiled and nodded, but his eyes kept glancing at Zheng Fa.

While eating, Zheng Fa felt that Mr. Hou was always glancing at him.

It seems like he is hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Hou, do you have anything to say?"

He asked directly.

"I'm here... to ask a favor."

On the side, Team Leader Yang said with a smile: "Zheng Fa has agreed to treat you."

"Treat a disease?" Mr. Hou was startled and asked in surprise, "Treat what disease?"

“…”

Zheng Fa was stunned and looked at Mr. Hou.

"I'm here to ask for seeds."

"Um?"

Mr. Hou waved his hands in the air, seeming a little excited: "The rice seeds in your fields are far superior to the mainstream crops in the world in terms of both quality and yield."

"I came here to see if the rice seeds you have here can be used as parents to cultivate better mainstream crops."

Teacher Tian said: "We have discussed this before..."

Zheng Fa also nodded.

He had thought about this before—

Today, the plants in the nursing home are of extremely outstanding quality, which is of course due to the spiritual energy.

But on the other hand, if this crop is used as a parent, will the offspring be tastier and more productive than the current mainstream crops?

Before, they didn’t have the resources, and to be honest, they didn’t have the need.

I didn't expect that Mr. Hou would come.

Team Leader Yang seemed to understand. She looked a little excited and looked at Mr. Hou: "Is this why you came here?"

Mr. Hou nodded gently and said:

"I thought of this when I heard you talk about the situation in the nursing home."

"The rice seeds I cultivated previously still have some defects, and the taste still has some defects, but the rice in your yard..."

Mr. Hou looked at the rice in the bowl in front of him, his eyes obsessed: "But it's almost perfect."

After listening to him, Team Leader Yang looked at Zheng Fa eagerly.

Then I heard Mr. Hou say: "To some extent, if this is accomplished, the country's food security will be ensured!"

After he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

Mr. Hou suddenly stood up and bowed towards Zheng Fa, as if to pay his respects.

Zheng Fa raised his hand and held him up.

Seeing Mr. Hou's somewhat surprised face, Zheng Fa smiled and said, "A man who has eaten his fill cannot afford your gift."

“…”

"Of course, I have requests too."

Zheng Fa added.

"I can make the decision on this matter. Just ask me."

"Not only do I want all the research data, I also want you to help compile a set of teaching materials."

“…teaching materials?”

"In other words, it is a set of universal breeding methods under spiritual energy - experimenting and summarizing at the same time."

Zheng Fa added.

Now that the Jiushan Sect is undergoing reform, what it lacks most is teaching materials.

Especially in agriculture, Master Qian is probably crying now.

“This is easy!”

Team leader Yang said very quickly.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I'll report this to the higher-ups!"

It can be seen that the previously steady Team Leader Yang is a little excited at this moment.

"By the way, Team Leader Yang, in addition to this research direction, I have another idea in agriculture..." Zheng Fa continued, "I was looking for an agricultural expert before for another topic."

"What subject?"

"I hope to do hybridization experiments and even genetic research on that pea."

Zheng Fa expressed his thoughts.

There are actually various major problems in cultivating spiritual plants in the Jiushan Realm today—the Jiushan Sect has no spiritual grains, oh, and no spiritual wheat either.

In other words, there is no staple food for monks.

The spiritual valley may seem ordinary, but for low-level disciples, it is one of the most important spiritual materials.

It is cheap, available in large quantities, and can promote cultivation.

There are various spiritual plants in the medicine garden, but none can be used as staple food - even in the Xuanwei Realm, there are no staple food-type thunder spiritual materials.

Zheng Fa’s idea now is to try modern agriculture, especially through genetic research, to see if this problem can be solved.

The simplest one, for example, is to cross-breed yellow sprout rice with some kind of thunder-type spiritual material to see if a thunder-type spiritual grain can be produced.

This idea has a premise:

Spiritual plants can be inherited.

This involves taking genetics into consideration.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, there are two paths for agriculture in the Jiushan Realm, or the Xuanwei Realm: one is the research on ordinary crops in the spiritual environment.

One is the study of spiritual plants.

Both are important.

Of these two studies, the first one is simpler. In fact, Zheng Fa pays more attention to teaching materials.

Through the breeding experiments conducted by Hou Lao and his colleagues in the nursing home, they summarized the agricultural processes in the Reiki environment.

Then go to Jiushanjie to promote it.

The second one is more difficult, because the only spiritual plants that can be used for research in modern times are the pea seedlings in the yard.

Even Zheng Fa was not sure whether the emergence of spiritual plants was caused by genes.

Team Leader Yang nodded and hurried outside, as if he was asking for instructions or allocating resources.

Mr. Hou couldn't help it, so he asked Teacher Tian to take him to the experimental field to observe the rice seeds.

Looking at the two people's anxious and excited expressions, the old man touched his chin and suddenly said, "Why do I feel that we should talk about academicians of the three academies in the future..."

Tang Lingwu blinked curiously and looked over.

Then the old man counted on his fingers, "Science of Sciences, Engineering Academy... Nursing Home?"

"How about we change our name?"

“…”

It's outrageous, but it makes sense.
