The Technology Tree of Xueba

After the meeting, Zhou Yu and Wang Xiaoxiao came to the Genetic Research Institute together.

He is going to look at the crops that will be applied in the water city. The effect of these aquatic crops will directly lead to the success of the Blue Ocean project.

Zhou Yu came to the laboratory and saw scientists planting crops in seawater. Several crops are now flourishing.

It saw common foods and vegetables such as rice, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, kidney beans, cucumbers in the laboratory.

This is completely different from what Zhou Yu thought. Zhou Yu thought that the aquatic crop was Wang Xiaoxiao. They re-edited a special, edible crop through gene editing.

"Director Wang, I see that the food and vegetables in your laboratory are common plants.

It is just planted using a water culture method, which is not commonly used by farmers, but it is a common technique to industrially produce vegetables in developed countries.

These plants can be grown in seawater. Are they genetically changed? . "

Wang Xiaoxiao pointed to a researcher next to him: "This is Qin Ming, a researcher who specializes in aquatic crops. He is not a science graduate, but graduated from Spark University, which was founded by our company.

With his innovative ideas and good scientific research quality, I was recruited to the Genetic Research Institute. "

Zhou Yu looked at Qin Ming. He is a very young person. The overall scientific research workers of Spark Technology are young, with an average age of only 38.

Spark University, a virtual university founded by Spark Technology, many people can acquire very rich professional knowledge only after the first year of study.

Artificial intelligence teaches students according to their aptitude, and can perfectly excavate a person's talents. The difference in IQ between people is greater than the difference in IQ between people and monkeys.

Some people have talents that no one can match in a certain industry.

Artificial intelligence can dig out a person's talent through scientific means. It is because of this that graduates of Spark University are welcomed by society.

Qin Ming introduced with a smile: "General Zhou, we mainly modify the genetic composition of plant roots, so that the plant's root cells can adapt to the high osmotic pressure environment.

These plant roots have been genetically modified to enhance their adaptability to water growth.

The root system of aquatic plants has the ability to filter seawater. It only absorbs water molecules and ions needed for plant growth in seawater.

In this way, genetically modified aquatic crops can live normally in seawater.

We have not modified the gene expression of the edible part of the aquatic crops so that the aquatic crops still retain their original nutrition.

Our bodies have adapted to the nutritional content of these crops for hundreds or even thousands of years.

It is very likely that the body's maladaptiveness may be caused by modifying the expression genes of the edible parts of aquatic crops, newly formed proteins and other substances. We must try our best to avoid this. "

Zhou Yu nodded, and he understood Qin Ming's introduction that these aquatic crops were genetically modified crops.

However, except for the root system, other edible parts of the aquatic crop express proteins that are not different from the original crop.

Zhou Yu looked at these aquatic crops and asked, "How are they growing? Do these crops need fertilization?"

Qin Ming introduced: "General Zhou, we have improved the genes of aquatic crops. Aquatic crops have increased the rate of nutrients intake, and their growth rate has also accelerated, which is 1 to 2 times faster than the original production rate.

The growth time of aquatic rice is one month. It is a fast-growing food crop. The growth rate of aquatic lettuce is only 10 days, and it can be eaten after three days.

It is because of the rapid growth of aquatic crops that it requires intelligent industrialized fertilization management through fertilization. "

Zhou Yu learned about the situation of aquatic crops. He smiled and was satisfied with aquatic crops.

"The aquatic crops you have developed have a relatively good growth rate. The composition is the same as the original crop. The nutritional composition should be similar. How does the aquatic crop taste?"

Wang Xiaoxiao heard Zhou Yu ’s inquiries and said with a smile: "General Zhou, the taste of aquatic crops is slightly different from the original crops, and their taste is more crisp. Now it is almost lunch time. We want the chef to cook a few dishes with aquatic crops. Taste the taste of aquatic crops together. "

They rushed to the cafeteria of the research center and continued to discuss genetic technology during the break.

"The growth rate of aquatic crops can reach 1-2 times that of the original crops, and related growth genes should also be transplanted to the original crops." Zhou Yu suggested.

Qin Ming heard Zhou Yu's suggestion and immediately replied: "General Manager Zhou, this is not difficult at all. Even the genes at the root of the crop do not need to be modified on a large scale, but only some genes that control the rate of nutrient absorption.

We produce plant active cells by cell replication. When plant active cells are used as nutrients, it can grow into a normal plant.

These living cells are wrapped with organic materials to form artificial seeds.

Genetically modified crops can no longer reproduce races in the natural environment and will not carry themselves with modified genes and contaminate other plants.

It also guarantees our technical safety, and only our company can produce the seeds of the corresponding plants. "

Rice, potatoes, and some common vegetables can grow 1 to 2 times faster than the original, which plays a significant role in ensuring the overall food security of China.

As the most populous country in the world, Huaxia accounts for 23% of the world's population, but only 7% of the world's arable land. Most of the land is relatively barren.

Western scholars have long predicted that China will soon fall into a food crisis.

No matter in ancient times or now, as long as the country is in a food crisis, it will not be far from political turmoil and war.

In ancient times, there were thousands of peasant uprisings in China as evidence, and in modern times, the Arab Spring and Ukraine crisis sweeping the world.

One of the reasons for the Arab Spring was that grain exporting countries such as Europe and the United States raised grain prices by 10%.

International food prices have increased by 10%, which directly bankrupted the slums in these countries. As long as people are unable to fill their stomachs, the turmoil will not be far behind.

If a food crisis occurs in Huaxia, more than one billion people will suffer from starvation in UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com, and no country can satisfy the surplus food of more than one billion people.

Only the hungry and hungry people can survive the food crisis.

Huaxia uses 7% of barren arable land to feed 23% of the population. Agricultural scientists represented by Yuan Longping have developed hybrid rice, hybrid corn and other hybrid crops, which has greatly increased the production of grain.

Academician Yuan's contribution in the age of mythology is enough to make merit.

Now it is their group of people who have taken over the responsibility. If the crop growth rate is increased by 1-2 times, it means that the grain output is increased by 1-2 times, which can perfectly safeguard the national food security.

The country can even use food, a hugely lethal weapon, to achieve its desired purpose.

Soon, meals made from aquatic crops were served. They finished the meal together.

Zhou Yu applauded after eating: "The taste is very good, the rice has a clear fragrance, and the taste of the dish is crisper than the original.
