In Ningcheng Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, in Liu Yuan's office, Ran Hao, the head of Xinghai Agricultural Technology Group, and Liu Zhengzheng led the scientists of the Agricultural Technology Group to report to Liu Yuan about the development plan of the Agricultural Technology Group.
Ran Hao and Liu Zheng are also very young, only in their 20s, and are also the first researchers to enter Xinghai Technology. They have become Level 1 scientists early on, and now they have reached the level of Level 3 scientists, and are considered national treasure-level talents.
This time, Liu Yuan also promoted them again and asked them to be responsible for the Agricultural Science and Technology Group.
This is also an interesting tradition of Xinghai Technology, which is that the heads of a subsidiary company are often from scientific research.
Like Tang Peng, Wang Chen, and Sun Zilong of the Aerospace Group, these are all done through scientific research.
Wan Hanrui, the head of Xinghai Mining Group, was also from the same group as Ran Hao, Liu Zheng and others, mainly studying materials and metallurgy fields, so he also became the head of a large group company.
Needless to say, Li Chun and Jiang Wannian of Xinghai Electronics, Xu Yunpeng and Zhou Tong of Virtual Technology Group are also scientists with technology backgrounds.
It can be said that a feature of Xinghai Technology is that it puts scientific research people in the management position, and the purpose is naturally to let experts lead experts.
Each subsidiary company has its own professional research institutes and research institutions, which are also the most important scientific research forces of Xinghai Technology, and it will not even be much worse than the Xinghai Science Research Institute directly led by Liu Yuan.
There are also many talents, and a large number of scientific research results can emerge every year.
"Boss, our agricultural group is currently planning to start from two fields, one is the seed field and the other is the space agriculture field. As for the two fields of fertilizers and pesticides, in our opinion, there is no need for us to enter it at all.
”
"In terms of seed field, there are currently two major regions in the development of agricultural seeds worldwide. One is the research in the field of genetically modified products, which is currently mainly concentrated on companies on the other side of the ocean. For example, Mengshandu, they are the world's largest genetically modified seed producers.
.”
"The other field is the hybrid seed field, such as hybrid rice, hybrid corn, etc. This field is mainly on our side, and our Guojia has extremely good foundation and strength."
Ran Hao is also very excited now. After several years of hard work, he finally became the head of a big sub-group. As a researcher of biotechnology, Ran Hao is naturally quite outstanding in the field of biotechnology.
Speaking of seed research, he also spent a lot of time and energy on it, in detail, and strived to make some achievements and achievements in this regard.
"It is our strength to develop genetic technology, and Mengshandu's technology is the same as that of a child in front of us."
"GMO technology is completely without any difficulty or problem for us."
Liu Zheng also said confidently that Xinghai Technology has even played genetic recombination technology quite well, and genetic modification is really not difficult for them.
"The application of genetic technology to agriculture is naturally a direction and trend for future development, but whether genetic technology is really safe and will mutagenesis of our human genes is also a topic worth exploring and researching."
"I believe you should be clear about the purpose of establishing Xinghai Agriculture. On the one hand, it is to study various advanced agricultural technology technologies, especially biological gene technology."
"You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others."
"We can master these technologies first so that we can be prepared for any eventuality and play an important role when necessary."
Liu Yuan looked at the many management of Xinghai Agricultural Group, thought about it and said.
Genetic technology must be continued, especially in the agricultural field. There is no difference between good and bad in technology. The key is how to use it.
If the agricultural field wants to develop, genetic technology will inevitably help. The technological development of modern agriculture is increasingly moving towards the field of genetic technology. It is definitely not possible if you don’t study it.
It is also known from the seeds of inheritance that genetic technology is also a prosperous road. How can we not study genetic technology?
The science and technology on the earth are just studying the use of the foundation to improve agricultural output and quality, improve disease resistance, etc., and are still very basic genetic technology technologies.
Genetic technology is developing into advanced fields, and what it explores is the ultimate mystery of life.
For example, lifespan, such as using technical genes to improve human combat effectiveness or obtaining some special abilities, etc.
This aspect has always been a taboo area. It is not allowed to experiment and study these genetic technologies on the human body on the earth. Even the research on cloning is taboo and condemned.
However, in the interstellar world, there are many civilizations that mainly develop biotechnology technology and use biological gene technology to create powerful combat creatures.
This type of civilization is actually quite terrifying, because it can often create many extremely powerful combat creatures, and some of them can even compete with space warships.
Of course, this type of civilization often develops towards a misunderstanding, that is, it involves transforming its own civilization and racial genes.
At first, it was not nothing, but over time, over time, the genetic modification of one's own race will be unrecognizable and can never go back. The final result is that the entire race cannot continue, or because of the changes in race genes,
Internal crack.
For example, some people have genes that are fused with birds, and they grow wings to fly in the sky, while others have fused with the genes of violent beasts, and they become strong and bloodthirsty.
As time goes by, they will inevitably gradually get farther and gradually break up.
Also, genetic modification and gene recombination are constantly popular in a civilization. After it becomes popular, the original genes will be lost, which will eventually lead to the genes of the entire civilization becoming beyond recognition. It is very likely that some of the most important things will be lost, such as
The function of reproduction eventually gradually collapsed.
Genetic technology must be studied, but it is not possible to study it.
Because if your skills in this area are not good, it is equivalent to having shortcomings. In the cruel competition of the interstellar universe, once someone discovers the shortcomings, it is very likely to take action from this area and easily destroy you
.
But you must not take a detour. Once you take a detour, you will be done and the entire civilization may be destroyed.
"Um!"
When Ran Hao, Liu Zheng and others heard this, they nodded one after another. This principle is very simple and everyone understands it.
"In addition to studying biological genetic technology, the most important thing is of course to maintain some of our existing natural varieties. Natural things are relatively safer and healthier things."
"The rice we eat now is hybrid rice, corn is genetically modified corn, and even oil is genetically modified soybeans and peanut oil."
"Although now, we have not found any harmful situations to humans, but has it been a long time?"
"No one knows what the future will be like?"
"Some effects may also be invisible and subtle."
"For our own safety, we can't control anything else, but at least we should try our best to be pure and natural and original as much as possible."
"We use the ancient varieties that have been passed down since ancient times to firmly grasp the property left to us by this ancestor in our own hands."
Liu Yuan looked at them and then talked about his plans again.
Genetic technology needs to be studied, but ancient grains, vegetable seeds, etc. must also be preserved. These things are the basics, the most primitive, natural, and the safest things.
"It's not easy to find these things now. People basically buy seeds when they farm. No one has left their own seeds. I guess only those seed companies still retain the ancient primitive varieties, which can be continued from generation to generation
variety.”
When Liu Zheng heard this, he thought about it and said quickly.
"So we have to collect and preserve these ancient varieties now, and we have to plant and expand these ancient varieties on a large scale. From now on, we will eat these oldest, original rice, wheat, corn, etc., so
It's safer."
Liu Yuan nodded with a smile.
I heard my grandfather talk about this before, saying that in the past, rice seeds were kept by themselves, and they kept seeds year after year, and there was no need to buy seeds at all.
However, the yield of rice seeds that you keep is low, with a maximum of 500 kilograms per mu of land, while hybrid rice can reach a maximum of 1,000 kilograms, so everyone gradually stopped keeping seeds themselves.
Of course, Liu Yuan has not told them yet that this is to prepare for moving to other alien planets in the future.
If you move to other alien planets in the future, if you don’t have your own seeds, it will definitely not work. Will you still have to import seeds from the earth?
Now collect these basic seeds yourself, whether they are used to be more at ease, safer, and healthy, or to prepare for the future, this is necessary.
In short, the key things must be in your own hands. You cannot choke your neck, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable.
“Yes, boss~”
"We get it."
"I also heard from my grandparents that this is something that the rice at that time was better and more delicious than the rice today. The hybrid rice tasted less than before, and the yield was much higher."
"Maybe people at that time didn't have much food, so everything they eat was delicious."
"This is also possible, but in the past, there were various rice, aromas and tastes, but now it tends to be monotonous and unified."
