Sumitomo Manor.

In a luxurious study, Sumitomo Kazumura listened to the report of his subordinates, his brows furrowed. He is now the acting new head of the current Sumitomo Foundation. Sumitomo Murakitta, the previous head of the consortium, is his own brother.

But a few months ago, those samurai lords and their elder brothers seemed to go on a mission somewhere, but there is no news yet, and there is really no one alive or dead.

After all, a huge consortium needs a leader, so he temporarily became the acting helm of the consortium under the recommendation of his clansmen.

"What have you discovered lately?" asked Sumitomo Ichimura to the man. He now likes the feeling of being in power. Sumitomo Murashita is his own brother. He also misses his brother very much, and hopes that nothing has happened to him. But now he hopes that his brother will never come back. In this way, he will be able to remove the word acting patriarch and truly become the patriarch and the helmsman of the Sumitomo Foundation!

"We found the original convoy, then we found a small basin and found that it was an ancestral place for our Sumitomo family, but the entrance collapsed. Excavation is currently underway, and it is estimated that some clues will be found by then. The subordinate reported.

"Well, then you go down, remember, once you find something, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

After this subordinate withdrew, he felt a little melancholy in his heart. Because there have been no samurai in the family for a few months now, I don't know if the previous samurai are dead or not. There was no news from above, which made him a little anxious.

"But it doesn't matter, if my brother is gone, then I'm the real one at the helm of the consortium. Sumitomo Kazumura sneered in his heart.

If he becomes the real head of the consortium, then he will have to do his best to train his son and hope that he can become the next generation at the helm, although the helm of the consortium needs to choose capable people to take on the role. If his son is capable, plus he contributes to the trouble, it is not impossible for his son to be the next generation at the helm at that time!

…………

A convoy was galloping on the dirt road, and the yellow sand was all over the sky.

It didn't take long for the convoy to come to a large field.

A large billboard appeared at the intersection ahead, which read: Nanye Genetically Modified Crop Base.

I continued to drive along this road, and after driving for about ten minutes, I came to a building that covers an area of about 200 hundred acres, and there are dormitory buildings, buildings like research institutes, and so on......

That's right, this is the research base of genetically modified crops under Nanno Foods!

Today, Shuichi Minamino came here to investigate.

Here, the company has contracted 1,000 acres of land for experimental research.

The genetically modified crops studied in the first phase were rice, corn, and soybeans.

In the second phase, the genetically modified crops studied are eggplant, tomato, wheat, cucumber, peanut......

At present, the genetically modified department of Nanye Foods Company has hired more than 30 professors and experts, as well as more than 50 graduates from agricultural universities as assistants, and more than 100 farmers.

In order to develop various genetically modified crops!

Among them, there are 3 professors of botany, 5 professors of agriculture, 5 professors of biology, 8 crop experts, and 2 chemists...... Scientist 2 ......

Anyway, there are a lot of experts and professors who have a role in genetically modified organisms, and these more than 30 people are relatively well-known or have made outstanding contributions to crop research......

Genetically modified, there is a lot of knowledge in it, and the knowledge of design is very extensive, so so many experts and professors have been hired to come and work together to study.

As for the more than 50 college students who graduated from agricultural universities, they all came to work as assistants, that is, to help out. And there were more than 100 farmers who came to help with the farming and so on. After all, professors can't be allowed to farm, they are engaged in research.

Growing crops still requires these farmers to do it, just listen to the professor's orders.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of the base, more than 200 people had already stood in N rows to welcome the arrival of Shuichi Minamino.

After getting out of the car, putting on a hat and sunglasses, Shuichi Minamino smiled and said, "Hello everyone!"

After a few polite rounds, he entered the base and began to understand the current progress of the research work.

"It's been two months, what progress have you made so far?" asked the first professor led by Shuichi Minamino.

"Mr. Chairman, we haven't made any great progress yet. But the genetically modified crops you proposed give us a lot of inspiration. ”

"The theoretical basis of the genetically modified technology you mentioned comes from molecular biology derived from the theory of evolution. The source of a gene fragment can be the extraction of a gene of interest required in the genome of a particular organism, or it can be a DNA fragment that is artificially synthesized in a specified sequence. DNA fragments are transferred to specific organisms, recombined with their own genomes, and then artificially selected from the recombinants for several generations to obtain individuals with stable expression of specific genetic traits. This technology can enable recombinant organisms to add new traits that people expect and breed new varieties......"

"We have already started research in this direction, and we have also opened up several experimental fields to start planting...... I believe there will be a breakthrough by the end of this year. A biology professor said.

"Well, that's good, you must hurry up and do research. The future depends on you. Nanno Shuichi said without being salty. He knew that GMOs could not be developed in a short period of time, so he only gave them a rough research direction. As for when it will be developed, it will take time.

So it's normal that there hasn't been a breakthrough in the past two months.

After some conversation, he was led by a group of people to go down to several experimental fields to have a look.

"Mr. Chairman, this is the base of genetically modified rice, and there are experimental ......fields for genetically modified corn and genetically modified soybeans," said a person in charge.

Looking at these test plots, he was very satisfied, and it seemed that he was doing a good job.

"At present, we are definitely the first in the world in GMO research, but it will be difficult to say in a few years. Now that no one is developing it, you all have to work hard, you know?" said Shuichi Minamino.

"Yes!" the group nodded.

After an afternoon of investigation, he went back satisfied.

He didn't know that later, this Nanye genetically modified crop base became the world's largest research base, and countless people came to study. Its industrial value has long been the world's first.

At the same time, he also wrote a strong stroke in his plan!
