"This is synthetic gene plant corn, which is a plant corn that contains insect genes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that most of the students had puzzled expressions on their faces, Yang Ye explained beside him.

"The synthetic gene plant is a synthetic gene plant that was researched by human beings before the great destruction, which was originally a product of increasing food production and solving the food crisis. The key is to inject the genes of the natural enemies of a certain food plant into the food crop itself, so that the natural enemies of this kind of food will no longer eat it, so as to ensure that the crops can grow better, and the yield has been significantly improved, which solves the food crisis at that time, especially the food crisis in some poor countries and regions with large populations and extremely underdeveloped agricultural science and technology. It was the most famous research result of a Western superpower at that time, and it was promoted to almost the entire Blue Star by a supercompany in this country. ”

Everyone listened to Yang Ye's introduction, and then looked at the synthetic genetic plant wheat in front of them, and there was no way to connect them with edible food. Humans before the Great Apocalypse were too pitiful, right? Without a nutrient solution to eat, they could only eat these disgusting things that looked like bugs? Look at this look, evil~~~~, this... Can this be eaten?

Of course, Yang Ye understood the meaning in everyone's eyes, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Of course it's not the current synthetic gene plant corn, this was mutated during the Great Destruction, just like all other mutated creatures, it has been completely unrecognizable." They weren't like that before the Apocalypse, but purely in the form of plants, like all the other plants we see now. Their fruit is called corn, which was one of the staple foods of humans at that time, and it can be made into a variety of delicious foods, and the taste is much more delicious than the foods made of synthetic materials we have now. ”

"But this kind of thing doesn't come to fruition, does it?" interjected, Blue Feather obviously still knew a little bit about synthetic genetic plants.

Yang Ye nodded slightly: "Yes, the mutated synthetic gene corn does no longer bear fruit, but forms new plants by splitting the roots." But before the Great Destruction, when they were still in their fully plant form, not only did they bear fruit, but the yield of fruit was very high, far exceeding that of the original corn. ”

"A mountain company vigorously promotes these synthetic genetic foods, touting that their production will solve the problem of hunger. It is especially popular in some poor countries where food is extremely scarce. At that time, the results of this research attracted the attention of scholars and experts in many countries, and its grain production was indeed greatly increased. Moreover, in order to better promote the production of this synthetic gene food, a certain mountain company has also formulated a special gene herbicide. As long as this herbicide is sprayed, all the grasses will wither except for the target crop to be planted, and there is no need to analyze the properties of these weeds, and all weeds can be eradicated at once. In this way, there were no pests and diseases, and no weeds to compete for nutrients, so the abundant yield of synthetic genetic plants was a matter of course, and it was welcomed by many farmers at the time. ”

"So if that's the case, the emergence of synthetic genetic plants should be a good thing?" a student didn't understand and couldn't help asking.

"There is no good or evil in any technology. As far as synthetic gene technology itself is concerned, it is indeed a technological advancement, especially in the medical field, and there are drugs that synthesize genes that have really played a huge role and saved many lives. Yang Ye sighed deeply and continued:

"But when a certain technology is misused for some political purpose, it is not just a technology, but a tool, a weapon to achieve some ulterior political purpose of some country. ”

Yang Ye glanced at these young faces and saw that there were a few people with a contemplative look on their faces, such as Ji De, Hua Jiujiu, etc., but more people showed confusion on their faces, Yang Ye continued to explain:

"There are those who are in favor and those who are against the comprehensive promotion of this synthetic gene food. At that time, scholars from some countries proposed that the food of this synthetic gene plant was unsafe. There are three reasons: First, using mouse experiments, it was found that after eating food made of synthetic genetic food for many years, the fertility rate of mice was not only greatly reduced, but also after several generations of reproduction, the size of newborn mice was much smaller than that of normal mice. Not only that, but its reflexes and intelligence are also lower than those of normal mice. In the long run, it will lead to the destruction of an entire race. A certain mountain company mainly sells these grains to some underdeveloped countries with high birth rates but low economic development, and its intentions are sinister. Second, the use of herbicides specially matched with this synthetic gene food will cause pollution of the land, and there will be high toxic residues in the land. At the same time, the land sprayed with this potion is unable to grow any of the original plants except for this specific synthetic genetic plant. 3. The seeds of synthetic gene plants do not have reproduction, that is, their fruits cannot be used as seeds for the next wave of planting except for food, and the first generation of seeds must be purchased from a mountain company for planting. That is to say, once this plant has been planted, then it can only be bound to a certain mountain company, and can only use the seeds and herbicides provided by a certain mountain company, and can no longer grow other original crops. ”

"It's amazing, isn't this a total monopoly? Are all the people in these countries who grow synthetic genetic plants SB?"

"Is there really such an SB country?"

"Spending money on their company's things will cut off their children and grandchildren, and if you don't grow what you have planted in their company, you will starve to death, this company is too insidious. Earn a lot of money from poor countries, and let others cut off their children and grandchildren. ”

"So the people in the countries who grow these synthetic genetic plants are not aware of the harm?"

"Those people in countries who eat synthetic genetic food are so stupid that they dare to eat what the insects don't eat?"

The students began to express their opinions.

Yang Ye smiled bitterly, "I don't know if I found any harm in the end, because after all, it has to be eaten for a long time, and it can only be manifested after several generations." After all, the experiment of the guinea pig is just a reference data. Besides, it is only the decline in fertility, not sterilization, so the controversy over whether synthetic gene plants can be eaten has never stopped, and in the process, synthetic gene plants are still widely planted on Blue Star. Later, the Great Destruction came, and the synthetic gene plant was induced by radiation to activate the insect genes in the plant, so it is the synthetic gene plant that everyone sees now. Yang Ye pointed to the synthetic gene plants that were still trying to stretch their leaves in an attempt to reach everyone.
