Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Meritorious Official
"Wow, the binary fission process of the smog-curing bacteria is so fast." A researcher with the surname Liu looked at the smog-curing bacteria under the microscope and couldn’t help but exclaim.
The other researchers busy cultivating the smog-curing bacteria were also astounded by the reproduction speed of these bacteria. They could imagine that as long as a large amount of the smog-curing bacteria were released over the pollution spots in the capital’s sky, they could reproduce asexually without needing a second deployment.
The reproduction speed is astonishing!
With such a rapid reproduction rate, if released into the capital’s sky, these smog-curing bacteria would become the nemesis of smog. As long as there is smog, they can proliferate massively, continue to eliminate smog, and reproduce massively once more. If smog had consciousness, it would surely be terrified of these bacteria!
The researchers all started seriously cultivating the smog-curing bacteria, their hearts filled with excitement beyond words. Being researchers with high cultural literacy, they knew well how much this smog-curing bacteria could improve the nation’s pollution situation if formally introduced. And they were the cultivators of this smog-curing bacteria! This title would be enough for them to boast about for a lifetime!
"Cultivate the smog-curing bacteria well, by tomorrow it should reach the necessary quantity. You will witness the disappearance of smog with your own eyes. In the future, when you think of smog, you might feel extremely nostalgic." Jiang Cheng smiled mysteriously, then shook his head and continued with his work.
The entire laboratory buzzed with a renewed sense of purpose and energy every time they thought about the significance of their work. In these conditions, they worked the whole day, and naturally, Jiang Cheng acquired the necessary amount of smog-curing bacteria.
Looking at the collected vast amounts of smog-curing bacteria, Jiang Cheng smiled and dialed Major General Xiang Dong’s number.
Not knowing what Xiang Dong was busy with, it took some time before he answered, "Hello? Jiang Cheng, why are you calling now? Have you almost finished cultivating the required smog-curing bacteria?"
"Yes, that’s right. The researchers you arranged and I worked all night and finally cultivated a large quantity of smog-curing bacteria. It’s time for you and your personnel to come over. We need some drones to deploy these bacteria." Jiang Cheng said lightly.
Xiang Dong’s eyelids twitched, almost making him jump out of his chair. He spoke with a trembling voice to Jiang Cheng, "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely, just need to sprinkle them, and the pollution situation in the capital should improve significantly." Jiang Cheng continued lightly, though he felt a bit tired. Although he had only been busy with the smog control efforts for a few days, it had been quite exhausting.
"Okay, I’ll send someone over immediately." Xiang Dong hung up the phone excitedly. He had never imagined that this day could come so quickly. In fact, when Jiang Cheng promised him earlier, he even thought that if it could be resolved within a year, he would be pleasantly surprised.
But how many days has it been?
Jiang Cheng had already finished the research and large-scale cultivation of the smog-curing bacteria at a speed that left him overwhelmed with joy!
He immediately postponed his other tasks, arranged for a helicopter, gathered several people, and went to meet Jiang Cheng.
Shortly after, Xiang Dong met with Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng brought out all the cultivated smog-curing bacteria from the laboratory.
Outside the lab, Xiang Dong and several relevant personnel arrived on site, and Jiang Cheng, along with a few researchers, brought out the cultivated smog-curing bacteria.
"Sprinkling these bacteria over pollution hotspots in the capital’s sky using helicopters should have a significant ameliorating effect on the smog. As for when it’ll be effective, it might take several hours." Jiang Cheng said uncertainly, as the bacteria had not yet been tested.
Although he had confidence in the bacteria’s efficiency, Jiang Cheng couldn’t promise how effective it would be or how long it would take to clear the smog in the air.
"Just a few hours? Good, good, good, I believe in you." Xiang Dong laughed loudly, directing his men to retrieve the smog-curing bacteria from Jiang Cheng and the researchers.
At this time, the helicopter was ready, parked at the prearranged location, and several media personnel, government officials, and Leader No. 3 were there waiting for Jiang Cheng and his team.
The team boarded cars, heading to the designated location to prepare to sprinkle the smog-curing bacteria above the pollution hotspots using helicopters.
Despite the military license plates on the cars, the traffic on the road was heavy, and it still took about half an hour to reach the helipad where the helicopters awaited them.
At this private airport, dozens of people awaited Jiang Cheng and his team’s arrival, already knowing the purpose of the visit, which was to sprinkle the bacteria developed by Jiang Cheng using helicopters, the bacteria known as smog-curing bacteria, over the capital to address pollution.
Initially, when they heard the news, they were baffled. After all, smog had always been a national grievance, and countless measures had previously failed to resolve the issue. However, today, news suddenly came out that Jiang Cheng developed a smog-curing bacteria, leaving them momentarily speechless.
But thinking about it being Jiang Cheng who developed the smog-curing bacteria, they found some reassurance, for everyone knew Jiang Cheng’s name. If it was Jiang Cheng’s work, upon reflection, it didn’t seem so surprising.
As Jiang Cheng and his team alighted from the vehicles, everyone came forward eagerly, each wanting to shake his hand.
Minister Liu from the Ministry of Environmental Protection walked up to Jiang Cheng surrounded by a group, expressing his gratitude, "Comrade Jiang Cheng, thanks to you, our nation might have needed another half-century to completely solve the smog problem. But thanks to your generous contribution, you’ve saved unknown amounts of manpower, material resources, and financial resources for our country. You are a national hero!"
After finishing, Minister Liu extended his right hand, tightly gripping Jiang Cheng’s hand, refusing to let go.
At this point, he was on the verge of tears. For so long, the smog problem brought him immense pressure as the Minister of Environmental Protection, and he had no particularly effective solutions, only measures addressing pollution at the source. Now, with Jiang Cheng successfully developing bacteria that could eliminate smog, he felt an overwhelming sense of emotion and immense joy.
