Chapter 413: If you don't like it, take it off the shelves
I don't know when it started, and the experts and professors of Xia began to lose credibility.
So as soon as they stand up to explain or explain, the people's faces are full of three words: "I don't believe it"!
What is genetically modified, according to the biological definition, we usually refer to genetically modified should be preceded by two words "artificial", the full name is called artificial genetically modified.
If we look up the precise definition of artificial genetically modified organisms in biology, then we will see the following description: artificial genetically modified technology is a biotechnology that transfers genes from one organism into the DNA of another organism, and it has uncertainties.
The principle of transgenic technology is to introduce artificially isolated and modified high-quality genes into the genome of organisms, so as to achieve the purpose of modifying organisms.
This is genetically modified in the traditional sense.
It is obvious that the future agricultural products launched by Sangtian Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Pangu Technology, are not genetically modified foods.
Because the laboratory did not isolate and modify the genes of other organisms and introduce them into the products of the future agricultural product factory.
Pangu Technology relies on the gene expression regulation technology of the biological laboratory to improve the product.
Gene expression regulation is to let biological cells express some states to inhibit some states, the genes of organisms have not changed, taking rice as an example, the totipotency of rice cells can make it differentiate into the form of rice at various stages in the future, under the control of the laboratory, the differentiation of cells can only be rice, and rice without bran.
This technology is not genetically modified, and there is a clear difference from genetically modified. Anyone who knows a little bit of biology can see it.
And unfortunately, consumers and people do not care about specific technical issues, they only look at the surface, plus experts come out, the more they talk about it, the darker it becomes.
"The expert said that it is not genetically modified, then it must be genetically modified!"
"If it's genetically modified food, why do you still sell it on the market? Especially cultured milk and milk, isn't it dangerous for children to eat it? ”
The explanation of the Food Research Institute is useless, and the explanation is useless.
Dean Tian had to truthfully inform Xiao Ming of the situation, and at the same time, netizens across the country also debated Pangu Technology's future agricultural product factory on the Internet.
Whether consumers want the food produced in the agricultural factories of the future, and whether this food is harmful to people.
Some time ago, when cultured meat and cultured milk were put on the market, there was a debate on this issue. It's just that the scope of the listing is limited to Jiangcheng, and the number is small, coupled with the trust of the people of Jiangcheng in Pangu Technology, so the controversy is not big.
This time it was different, the location of the product launch was Yanjing, the largest city in Xia Province with the largest population and the most complex personnel structure, and coupled with the promotion of the media, it turned into a public opinion storm.
The topic of genetically modified food is almost a "big aunt" topic in the public opinion circles of Xia Kingdom, and it must be mentioned every month, which is not novel but deadly enough.
Qian Yi cut out all the reports of the Western media in the past few days and handed them to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming looked at it and basically knew it in his heart.
From the New York Times to the Washington Post to Facebook and Twitter, the topic of cultivating agricultural products has all but been characterized as synonymous with evil.
The "Los Angeles Times" even reported in a text that tolerated shock: Xia people eat everything, even plants cultivated through chemical reagents.
Looking at these reports, Xiao Ming had already planned in his heart.
"It is normal that we are challenging the global food hegemony of the United States, and even the entire traditional agriculture. ”
It's normal for new products to cause controversy, and it takes a process for people to accept things.
Qian Yi said: "I got the data from Xiaochu's analysis, and the rumors of GMO came from several small companies that were not well-known, and the actual controller was also found. In addition, the relevant content of negative reports first came from the United States, and most of the domestic self-media were paraphrased. ”
Xiao Ming said: "The main contradiction is still in the grain giants of the United States, and those domestic self-media are just for the sake of traffic to attract attention." ”
Qian Yi said: "The first few self-media have been killed by Xiao Chu, and the boss behind them has also been locked by Xiao Chu. ”
Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Jealousy is like hatred, in fact, the way to deal with problems is very simple, talk less and do more." After a while, you contact Dean Tian and ask them to stop letting experts publish popular science knowledge and stop making any more safety statements. ”
Qian Yi said: "Then what should they do? Sangtian Agricultural Technology Company has just entered the Yanjing market and encountered this incident, which is indeed a headache. ”
Xiao Ming handed a list to Qian Yi, "This is the list of recent outputs of the future food factory in the science and technology park compiled by Xiao Chu, if all the production lines are produced at the same time, then the food produced will not only meet our needs, but also have a lot of surplus." These leftover products will be packed and sent to Yanjing, the cost is a little more expensive but the most convincing?"
Qian Yi's head couldn't turn for a moment, and said: "These products are listed in Yanjing, and Yanjing consumers will accept them? ”
"Of course not! The products will not be listed in Yanjing," Xiao Ming said: "Sangtian Agricultural Company's products in all supermarkets in Yanjing have been removed from the shelves, and they will not be put on the shelves for the time being in the coming year." Jiangcheng transported the products of the past, and asked President Tian to first supply the internal canteen of the Grain Research Institute, and then to various government departments. ”
Qian Yi was amazed and said: "What is this called? Lead by example! Haha! My little sister who works in the tax department in Yanjing has already called me, they just want our products, and I have mailed her a lot, and now her one-year-old son has not drunk German milk powder, and is all with our cultivation milk. She is still asking, when will our company be able to sell the products to Yanjing, so that the masses can buy the products they want in Yanjing supermarket. ”
Qian Yi said with confidence: "I can guarantee that most of the Kochi people in Yanjing still have public officials, and they must have an accurate understanding of our products." ”
"This will be a good demonstration effect of product quality. Xiao Ming said: "In addition, we have already contacted the South African side to exchange grain for minerals. ”
"Grain for minerals?" Qian Yi's heart was slammed, she knew that Pangu Technology was going to expand its production capacity externally.
"Yes! Grain for minerals!" Xiao Ming said: "This is a common trick used by the people of the United States, and we also learn from it, we are interested in the large amount of uranium ore in South Africa, which is the best energy source for generating electricity." ”
"Micronuclear battery?" Qian Yi thought of it at once.
"Micro-nuclear battery!" Xiao Ming confirmed: "The manufacturing of C14 needs to simulate the cosmic environment, which requires a lot of electrical energy, and the most incorruptible electrical energy is also nuclear energy, and we will save costs to the greatest extent." ”
Xiao Ming still remembers the production of C14 materials in the laboratory because the load of the civil power grid was not enough to trip the surrounding residents.
Qian Yi knows that the future energy era has come, and the first of these must be the automotive industry!
