Chapter 1847 Bargaining
She replied, "He's famous, quite famous. However, he's most famous not for his work in paleobiomedicine or ancient medicine, but for his achievements in the genetics of intelligent organisms. He just loves ancient medicine, though. I heard he's published a lot of papers on it in recent years. I don't know where he got so many case studies, and he even got them certified by the university and the encyclopedia."
"But now I have a rough idea. Did you give him those cases?"
Manbao responded, expressing his confirmation of her guess.
Dr. D understood what was going on and asked, "How did you convince him and the Encyclopedia to represent you? Do you know how much the initial investment for this project was?"
Manbao didn't know that she had signed a result agreement directly with the Encyclopedia. They would give her qualified grain seeds in the end, and she would give them meteorites.
Dr. D said, "Eight million points have already been deposited into my account. But even with the original grains as a reference, cultivating stable and viable grain genes in our environment, and meeting all your requirements, will take considerable time and effort. Later investments will only increase."
Manbao asked, "Is it because you don't have enough money? Why do you need to cultivate flower seeds to make up for the shortfall?"
"No, I'm short of money for another experimental project." Dr. D didn't explain in detail, but Manbao guessed from her words why she took Teacher Mo's order, because she was short of money.
Manbao became thoughtful. "So, actually, my project isn't that difficult. Is it something you can cash out quickly?"
Dr. D responded and said, "Although it is difficult, it can be overcome, so it's not that difficult."
She still wanted to find out what Zhou Man and the encyclopedia were trading, mainly because Zhou Man's collection direction and her research direction largely overlapped. Many of her experiments could find the original genes from Zhou Man's time, so she was very interested.
Manbao felt that they were friends after all, so she didn't hide it from her and said directly: "I can't tell you because I signed a confidentiality agreement."
Dr. D: "...Just keep it a secret. I won't tell anyone else."
Manbao: "...Keke is the encyclopedia's system. I'm using it to communicate with you now. Even if you don't tell others, the encyclopedia will know."
Dr. D actively explained to Manbao, "That's not the case. Although it can check, the entire alliance is so large that it won't focus on you specifically."
She urged Manbao, "I've done some research in information technology. So, if you send me the email, I'll delete it immediately, making sure the encyclopedia can't find any trace of it. What should I do?"
Keke couldn't help but remind Manbao, "Don't listen to her. No matter how you clear the traces online, they will still exist. As long as the code was generated, it can be traced. It may be difficult for others, but for the main system, it's just a matter of a code."
No one pays attention to their words now, but don't forget that they are the key observation targets of the main system. Once the main system remembers to check, even Koko will find it difficult to deceive it perfectly.
It doesn't want to take risks for such things.
Manbao was no fool, so he politely declined Dr. D's offer and instead asked her, "But since you've guessed it, if there's new progress in the experiment, could you please send me a copy as well? We can communicate more, and this way the experiment might be faster."
Dr. D was killed, and for the sake of the experimental progress, she was unable to raise any objections.
Dr. D said, "It's hard to believe that I would be at a disadvantage in negotiations with you."
Manbao searched in his mailbox for a long time and finally found a grinning emoticon and sent it back to her. Koko said that in the future communication, the rational use of emoticons can promote the development of interpersonal relationships.
Dr. D received this emoticon and could only respond with a helpless expression. He then began to bargain with her, "Since this is your order, I still need some test specimens. Can you provide them to me?"
Manbao asked enthusiastically, "What specimen do you need?"
"Collect a variety of grain seeds. We need grain seeds that grow in various regions. If possible, I hope to provide rice that survives in the wild. I remember that your civilization history is not very long. There should be a lot of these things in the wild, right?"
Manbao thought hard and said, "I have never seen wild rice seeds in the wild. Does it count if I scatter the rice seeds in the wild and let them grow freely?"
Dr. D: “…Not really!”
She was annoyed by the child for a moment, and then asked, "Aren't you Professor Mo's student? How come you don't even understand this?"
Manbao said, "Teacher Mo only teaches me medicine, and I don't need to learn botany from him."
Dr. D suddenly remembered something and asked, "I'm good at botany, and since that's what you're collecting, I have to learn it, right? Your ancient medical skills are closely related to botany, right? Do you want to take a class with me?"
Manbao asked: "Are you qualified to teach?"
This remark hit the nail on the head, leaving Dr. D silent for a long time. After a while, she replied, "Not yet, but I will apply."
Manbao smiled and said, "When you have your certificate, I will come to support you as long as you start a class."
Dr. D: I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t figure out what it is.
Dr. D, who was recently broke, simply pointed to the peony branches and asked, "This is very useful for studying your plant genes. Consider it your provision of this to me."
Manbao, who had made a lot of money recently but hadn't spent much, agreed directly, "Okay, take it. Do you want it? I still have the regular variety. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Dr. D accepted everyone's offer. "Okay, you can put it on the forum tomorrow. I'll set the trading points when I'm online. Don't set them in advance, or someone else will take them."
Man Bao agreed, and then smiled and said, "If you cultivate a new peony flower, or a genetically stable variety, don't forget to give me a copy."
Dr. D: "...I cultivate this for a flower company. What are you doing here? Don't you already have the original variety?"
"No, these peonies all belong to someone else. I'm just cutting some branches or something."
Dr. D: So this guy is the one who gets something for nothing.
Manbao asked, "Is it okay? I have a big garden at home, but the varieties in it are still a bit limited. The flowers from your place may look beautiful when they are first brought over, but after a few years they grow into all kinds of things. There is even one plant that can't be cut with a knife. It's terrible."
Dr. D said, "Then you must have bought the cheapest variety. It basically only blooms once a year and is extremely genetically unstable. After a wave of blooms, the genes become disordered. You bought more expensive ones. Nowadays, better peonies can maintain genetic stability for about five years. It seems that they were developed after you collected and researched them in the early years. However, the varieties are still relatively simple, and due to the influence of the original genes, some of the petals are not as good as the current ones."
Of course, the first time she collected peonies, she bought the cheapest one on the street in Yizhou City.
