Chapter 368: A Huge Controversy

The little girls in the life science laboratory do not wear sterile gowns in the laboratory every day to do culture experiments, and the little girls still have their own little hobbies and interests.

For example, filming documentaries.

"How Beef is Produced" is the masterpiece of the little girls, in order to shoot this documentary, the girls visited the large-scale breeding bases around Jiangcheng and the breeding situation of farmers in the countryside.

In order to shoot authentically, the girls also wasted a lot of energy to go deep into the industry and understand the whole process of raising livestock.

The documentary clearly shows that in large-scale farming, farmers supply feed and antibiotics to raw cattle in order to pursue the quality and yield of beef.

Not all places in Xia Country have pastures, and not all cattle can eat fresh forage, beef cattle are locked in cowsheds, eating feed and drinking anti-disease medicines, and when their size and weight reach the standard, they will finish their undignified lives with an electric shock and slaughter, and become a delicacy on the residents' table.

The feed and medicine supplied to beef cattle are in line with national standards, but if they meet national standards, there must be no harm to the body?

These should be two concepts.

The feelings of the little girls are still relatively rich, and when they photographed the scene of the beef cattle being electrocuted, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

However, the law of nature is like this, there is no essential difference between a cow that dies in a slaughterhouse and a variety of animals that die in a laboratory, and both are contributing to the progress of society.

The first half of the documentary ends with a plate of beef served on the table, rich in feed and antibiotic residues that are swallowed into the stomachs of diners, and some of the harmful substances that are eaten interact with human cells and the internal environment, changing the gene expression of human cells.

The consequences of this may be a simple obesity, diarrhea, severe resistance to antibiotics, or changes in gene expression in somatic cells, and finally three highs, cancer, and so on.

There is a strict logical relationship between human health and diet and living habits, and your physical discomfort today may really be that you ate an extra piece of beef yesterday.

The middle part of the documentary delves into traditional agriculture, including breeding and planting.

From the land used for farming, to the production of chemical fertilizers and the use of pesticides, to the production of fodder and the plundering of pastures, humans have taken extreme measures to improve the efficiency of food and meat production.

The second half of the documentary comes to Pangu Technology's life science laboratory.

In the sterile laboratory, the experimenters selected the muscle cells of the best quality beef variety "Nongke No. 1" bred by the Xia Academy of Agricultural Sciences as the sample cells, and extracted genes from them.

In accordance with the requirements of the above department, Pangu Technology gave up Kobe beef, and instead chose the local beef of Xia Kingdom as the first sample.

After testing the meat quality of "Nongke No. 1" by Pangu Science and Technology Laboratory, it was found that the quality of "Nongke No. 1" had long surpassed that of Kobe beef.

After the regulation of gene expression, "Nongke No. 1" was renamed "Jiangcheng Beef", and its muscle tissue began to be cultivated in the laboratory.

Cultured meat grows rapidly on a polymer tube, and artificial serum rich in nutrients moistens the cell tissue, and the whole environment is clean and hygienic.

On the other hand, the beef tissue that has completed growth is taken out, packaged and finally brought to the market in a purely industrialized mode.

The documentary was posted on the official website and official Weibo of Pangu Technology, and was also launched on major film and television platforms at the same time.

Pangu Technology's Weibo has more than 20 million fans, and as soon as the documentary came out, netizens were stunned.

"What is Pangu Technology going to do? Advocate environmental protection or vegetarianism?"

"Didn't you only watch the front of the documentary and not the back?"

"You mean the beef is taken out of the glassware? See, this should be a technique of craft documentary, it is Pangu Technology's concern about food safety and imagination for the future. ”

"I don't agree with what the upstairs said, Pangu Technology has nothing to do and suddenly makes a food documentary?"

"Upstairs means that Pangu Technology already has the technology to produce beef on a large scale in the laboratory?"

"Oh my God! Growing beef tissue with cells? If that's the case, the whole of agriculture is going to change dramatically. ”

"In the future, will all meat be produced in laboratories? Is it genetically modified? Is it harmful to consumers? Is it expensive or cheaper?"

Many netizens left messages on Weibo to Pangu Technology for verification, and many media called the headquarters of Pangu Technology for verification.

Qian Yi's phone is about to be blown up, and the headquarters will remain silent until the life science laboratory does not give a specific explanation.

The employees of Pangu Technology, who are known as Eat Monsters, were the first to come out and break the news.

Eat monsters: "It's not a fantasy for the future, but the real 'cultured meat', the company has been eating for a week, the taste of beef is very good, many employees are still in the canteen to buy raw meat home to cook it themselves, I also bought two catties, the company's internal specials, but not the outside of the beef is much cheaper." ”

Eating Monster also showed a picture of himself buying beef, a large piece of beef on a cutting board, the meat is bright in color and the texture is clear, and it looks like there is a desire to grill it or make a steak.

The revelation of eating monsters is terrible, and countless netizens poured into Weibo to eat monsters and began to ask questions.

"You are lying, anyone dares to say that they are employees of Pangu Technology, or some kind of cultivated meat. ”

Eat the monster and reply, "Hehe." Then he posted his employee ID.

This is not fake, after all, no one is so boring to make Pangu Technology's employee ID.

This is terrible, and netizens have asked questions below.

"You're really eating, so fierce!"

"Is this meat poisonous? Does it treat consumers like guinea pigs?"

"Pangu Technology, this is a practice that goes against the natural world!"

"What is Pangu Technology going to do?"

"Is it genetically modified food? Is it dangerous?"

Eating Monster replied: "Beef is just the beginning, Pangu Technology's future plan is to completely change traditional agriculture, realize agricultural industrialization and production, so that agricultural products can meet the needs of consumers as much as possible, and at the same time, they can minimize their dependence on natural resources." ”

"Maybe one day, there will be a food production warehouse in the center of every city, where the safest and most reliable food will be produced, and farmland, forests and grasslands will be returned to nature," Eater said. ”

Some netizens said: "Isn't Pangu Technology making chips and wearable devices, why did you think of selling meat (dog head)?"

"I think it's a fantasy, and there are still questions about whether the cultured meat in the lab is true. ”

In the face of the doubts of netizens, Eat Monster no longer replied, because they will never understand that every step of Pangu Technology's efforts is to make this world a better place.
