The experiment of creating Kobe beef brought new ideas and methods to life science laboratories, creating food through the union of laboratories and factories, with the ultimate goal of freeing the land and human hands, rather than completely eradicating traditional agriculture.

In addition, in the Xia Kingdom, people engaged in scattered traditional agriculture in the true sense of the word have become extremely rare, and in the vast majority of the rural areas of the Xia Kingdom, the large-scale cultivation of food crops or large-scale breeding is generally engaged in agricultural companies rather than individuals and families.

It has become the norm for farmers to rent land to collectives or agricultural companies, and it has become the norm for farmers to take the rent of the land on the one hand, and to work in the company for wages on the other hand.

As for those scattered farming and breeding farmers, they cannot have a fundamental impact on the agricultural pattern of the entire Xia country, and their output cannot meet the huge market demand.

In the context of the decline of the agricultural population and land, the industrialization of agriculture is the general trend. What Pangu Technology has to do is to follow the trend and make industrialization more thorough.

In the coming time, life science labs will be doing two things, one is to set strict standards for the laboratory production of beef, and make it programmatic.

Industrialization can only be achieved through programming, and industrialization is a key element in reducing costs.

The second thing, since the Kobe beef experiment was completely successful, is it possible to generalize it to a wider range of products, such as dairy products, plant-based foods, and so on.

Xiao Ming began to promote the safe, good-tasting and high-nutrition meat products produced in the laboratory to the company, and reported the corresponding materials to the relevant state departments for the record.

When it comes to food safety issues, Xiao Ming and Gao Siqi can eat whatever they want, but if they want to really promote Pangu Technology and apply it to the entire Jiangcheng, they must be approved by relevant departments.

To Xiao Ming's surprise, the approval given by the relevant departments to Pangu Science and Technology was to support the experiment of Pangu Technology, and a special scientific research fund of 2 million yuan was allocated in the name of the national agricultural department, and experts from the research institutes under the agricultural department were sent to Jiangcheng to inspect the project.

Jiao Xiangdong is the director of the Xia National Institute of Food Security Strategy.

Grain here refers to grain in a broad sense, including rice, wheat, livestock, etc.

When Jiao Xiangdong received the Pangu science and technology research project forwarded by the superior department, he applauded excitedly again and again, and shouted "Xia Guo's agriculture has been saved".

As an expert who has studied Xia's food security strategy for 20 years, Jiao Xiangdong is too familiar with the severe environment facing Xia's current food strategy.

As the most populous country in the world, it is a great achievement for everyone to be able to eat enough, but after several years of research, Jiao Xiangdong found that Xia is actually facing very serious challenges in the field of food security.

In general, there are three aspects:

First, Xia can basically produce and self-sufficient grain and meat, but some kinds of products still need to be imported. One is that soybeans are almost monopolized by foreign products, and the other is that rice, meat and other products in the high-end market are not in the figure of Xia Guo and are monopolized by foreign countries.

For example, Kobe beef sells for 4,000 kilograms in Shanghai, and many consumers will rush to buy it, but when domestic beef is sold at this price, others will say that you want money and want to go crazy.

Second, the cost of food in Xia has risen year by year, with the rise in the cost of land, labor, fertilizer, etc., the cost of growing food in 2019 has been more than three times higher than ten years ago, and then reflected in the increase in the cost of food in a broad sense. The reaction to consumers is the growth of CPI and the rise of prices.

For example, more than 10 years ago, a noodle restaurant cost only two yuan for one or two sides, but today it costs five to ten yuan for one or two sides, and the price in big cities such as Shanghai may be about 15 yuan. Similarly, ten years ago, pork was ten yuan a pound in big cities and seven in small cities.

Jiao Xiangdong sat down and studied it carefully, and said: "Can I take a copy of this information back, I want to report to the above, you have indeed created a miracle in agricultural history and biology." ”

Gao Siqi laughed: "The average growth cycle of Kobe beef is 30 weeks, while in the laboratory, the average finished product cycle is 14 days. In addition to meat, our experimental team is collecting genes from dairy products, rice, soybeans, wheat, etc., and in the future, we will establish and develop a more complete manual for the production and manufacturing of agricultural products. ”

Gao Siqi said, opened the glassware, and cut the growing beef tissue.
