Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Solving the Biggest Problem of the 21st Century
After experiencing potential dangers and injecting the Genetic Potion to become the first clinical trial participant, Wang Shiyu had no regrets at all.
On the contrary, he was extremely thrilled to have gained such formidable power, because this power was lifelong. With this power, even if he retired and went to do manual labor, he could probably complete the work of ten people with ease!
Jiang Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "From a biological standpoint, you’re essentially a Neo-Human now. Look higher, don’t you feel that your mind is incredibly clear? Actually, your IQ has greatly improved too.
Wang Shiyu nodded. Indeed, after injecting the Genetic Evolution Potion, he found his vision clearer than ever, and his hearing and perception had also strengthened.
"Can it improve IQ too? Wonderful! Jiang Cheng, you’ve been tirelessly developing this powerful Genetic Evolution Potion, and have donated the technology to the country free of charge. In the future, any request you have, as long as it doesn’t violate the law, the country will do its best to meet it!" Leader Number Three was even more astonished, exclaiming "Wonderful" three times and making a very significant promise.
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I hope the promise you made before to help Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company become the leader in the mobile phone industry can be fulfilled. For now, that’s my only request, and it won’t violate anti-monopoly laws."
Jiang Cheng certainly wouldn’t break the country’s laws. When the time comes, after acquiring most manufacturers, he would leave some that he didn’t find appealing to fend for themselves while still staying within anti-monopoly laws.
This world is all about survival of the fittest; it’s always been like this. Those companies that can’t produce phones to attract users and keep trying to trip up Jiang Cheng deserve their fate. Leader Number Three smiled, further showing his esteem for Jiang Cheng and subtly seeking to build a closer relationship.
To his surprise, Jiang Cheng remained composed, accepting such praise from a high-ranking national leader without any undue excitement. This increased his already high regard for Jiang Cheng and made him think that Jiang Cheng’s future would be limitless, and the country might need his help in various ways in the future.
During the discussion between Leader Number Three and Jiang Cheng, Major General Xiang Dong remembered something Jiang Cheng promised a couple of days ago and took this opportunity to ask, "Jiang Cheng, how is the research on the solution to smog going?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng gave Major General Xiang Dong an OK gesture with a smile and said, "It’s already halfway done; next, we just need to produce samples and cultivate them."
Smog solution?
Upon hearing this term, Leader Number Three lost his composure, which was rare for someone of his high ranking in the government. In his excitement, he placed both hands on Jiang Cheng’s shoulders and urgently asked, "Jiang Cheng, what did you say? You have a solution to eliminate smog, and the research has already been halfway completed in just two days?"
"Yes, what about it," Jiang Cheng replied, as if it were to be expected.
He had no idea how much time, money, and effort the country had spent trying to tackle smog, nor how concerning this issue had been for the leaders, yet there had been little success with air pollution management in Huaxia.
But Jiang Cheng could complete half of the research on eliminating smog in two days. Was this the smog problem that troubled countless leaders and residents?
From Jiang Cheng’s demeanor, he surely had a solution to smog. After all, he was the one who could produce such a groundbreaking invention as the Genetic Evolution Potion, so there was no need for deception on this matter!
Not only was Leader Number Three incredibly shocked, but the professors analyzing Wang Shiyu’s physical data nearby were also startled upon hearing that Jiang Cheng had completed half the research on the smog solution. They were dumbfounded.
Although they didn’t specialize in atmospheric pollution control, they knew it was a challenging problem. Approaching it from biological or chemical perspectives was indeed difficult. Generally, the country’s solutions to smog focused on sources like vehicle emissions and factory waste gases, but these were hard to address!
Smog, considered the largest environmental issue of the 21st century in China, was not a baseless claim!
The professors were genuinely stunned, unable to express the complex emotions within them.
Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, those in the biology field understood what he meant: Jiang Cheng intended to tackle the smog problem from a biological angle, evident from the words ’samples’ and ’cultivation’ in his speech.
At this point, the professors looked at each other, realizing they were at a loss for words due to extreme shock.
Samples, cultivation!
So, Jiang Cheng’s method for solving the smog problem must involve using microorganisms to eliminate it!
But how could microorganisms eliminate smog?
They were clueless! No one in the country or abroad had suggested using microorganisms to solve the smog problem before. To these researchers, this method seemed utterly foolish!
Using catalysts to directly absorb sulfur dioxide and remove toxic particles was feasible; why use microorganisms? Biologically, at most, microorganisms could address sulfur dioxide in smog; what about those toxic particles?
But since it was Jiang Cheng’s idea and he had already completed half the research, these professors had to reconsider this microbial approach to tackling smog. They realized they had no idea where to start if they were to try solving smog with microorganisms.
Jiang Cheng had completed half the research in just two days, leaving these professors in awe. It’s true people differ vastly in talent.
At this moment, Leader Number Three was astonished beyond words, speechless for a while. He finally said, "To think that half of the smog research has already been completed, proving that young talents are truly impressive. We, from the older generation, are indeed aging."
Leader Number Three’s words revealed a deep sense of helplessness, which wasn’t surprising. Smog governance had always been a sore spot for him, bothering him without a solution. Hearing how easily Jiang Cheng could address this issue created a significant psychological gap, hard to reconcile.
