Chapter 54 Food Security

When the prime minister saw Zhang Zhi calling, he said kindly: "Xiao Zhang, sit down and talk." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI have some questions I'd like to know about. ”

Zhang Zhi sat on the chair and replied with a smile: "Is it about the life extension potion?"

"What is the real output of your life extension potion, and how long will it take for the whole people to apply it as you advertised. The Prime Minister asked.

Zhang Zhi said confidently: "Uncle Prime Minister, you know that the greatest power of technology lies in its replicability. The difficulty in the production of life-extending elixirs has been overcome by our Xingyu Technology, and the real output of the laboratory is 10,000 bottles per day. Once industrial production, how much and as much as there is. Supplying the whole country is only a minor issue. I was afraid that the impact would be too great, and all aspects of society did not adapt, so I sold life extension drugs in limited quantities. ”

When the prime minister heard this information, he smiled happily and said: "Your idea is right, and it is easy to say in other aspects, food and water resources are very tricky. Until these two problems are solved, don't let go of the supply, and now supply the scientist community. ”

This made Zhang Zhi very impressed, and if the prime minister wanted to say that he would supply officials first, Zhang Zhi would agree. But it is inevitable that my heart will be uncomfortable.

The prime minister pondered for a while, took out his mobile phone, gave Zhang Zhichuan a piece of information, and said with rare seriousness: "Look at this information." Now the situation is tense. ”

Zhang Zhi opened his mobile phone and looked at the information given by the prime minister. Here's a treatise.

"Vigilance on Food Security, National Food Limit Report"

This information was drafted by the expert group of the Ministry of Agriculture, he described in detail the country's arable land, explained the development of the country's four major staple grains wheat, rice, corn and potatoes, and explained that there is still a surplus of grain in China, and it is expected that by 2025, in the case of no technological breakthrough, there will be a situation where output and consumption will be equal.

The article proposes that grain is the weapon of killing a big country, and in the game of big powers, grain is a weapon that is more powerful, more hidden, and more lethal than missiles.

The article uses sub-Saharan Africa as an example to illustrate that when famine occurs and food becomes the most important commodity, external forces will provoke war with aid with political conditions attached or food as bait.

After Zhang finished this article, he partially agreed with the views of the article. The importance of food is quite right. Technically, the word "breakthrough" is not used, this must be written by liberal arts students without checking the information and patting their heads. The current development of science and technology is the fastest era, not to mention seven years, that is, seven months, technology can make a big leap forward.

The reason why there is famine in Saharan Africa is because the political situation is unstable, and some people in Africa are still too lazy. Africa, which does not even have basic agricultural facilities and depends on God for food, once the weather changes. It can only be relied on on relief.

There is no threat in Africa, they put on a hypocritical face, and they can still help. If there is really a famine in China, no one can relieve it. Only on your own.

After seeing Zhang Zhi finish reading the article, the premier sighed: "Our country accounts for one-fifth of the world's population, but only 7% of arable land, all rely on the power of science and technology to make up for the gap, hybrid rice has reached a bottleneck, we have to lift potatoes to the position of the staple food." ”

"Small countries can rely on big countries to bail out, and if something happens to us, no one can save us. The larger the population, the more developed the economy, the more food is needed, and in the event of famine, the more urgent the food shortage. The more expensive it will be to get food. Most likely, there is no money to buy food. ”

"Uncle Prime Minister is right, food is not only important in ancient times, but also the foundation of the country in modern times. Zhang Zhi confidently said to the premier, "The technological progress of our Xingyu Technology will change the requirements for arable land for grain." ”

When the prime minister heard this, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "You are that kind of method, don't be the kind of technology of hydroponic factories, they are not suitable for staple food, and the price is too high." ”

Zhang Zhi smiled: "No, after the simulation of the scientific research platform, we found in the dozens of methods that the water beans developed with potatoes as samples are higher than the starch content of potatoes." It can be planted in water, fresh water and seawater. The yield is 5 times that of potatoes. Harvested once a month, it can withstand the low temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the sun-dried storage time is up to 20 years. ”

The prime minister looked shocked, and the corners of his mouth trembled and said: "Grown in seawater, the yield is five times that of potatoes." It matures in a month and can survive at minus 20 degrees Celsius. It's fantastic, and it's the perfect tool for food security. ”

"I originally wanted to find you an experimental field in the Northeast Plain, but there is little land in a large area of state-owned land, and it takes time to allocate land to farmers, but now I can make a decision, you can do experiments in the Bohai Sea, where the wind and waves are relatively calm. ”

Zhang Zhi asked with some doubts: "Uncle Prime Minister, I'm afraid that people can't accept the water beans that are grown, this is also produced by gene technology, and people are naturally disgusted with gene technology." ”

The prime minister laughed and said: "You still don't understand, people are not averse to genetic technology, it is genetically modified technology." Hybrid rice is also genetic technology, and we don't eat the same. Genetically modified technology is very advanced in the United States, and we have always restricted the development of genetically modified technology in our country, and we will not let go of genetically modified technology when we do not have the leading power of genetically modified technology in our country. ”

"You don't have to worry about your bean food, when the time comes, it will be included in the staple food and used as the staple food of the state banquet, and people will naturally rest assured. The prime minister saw through Zhang Zhi's thoughts, smiled and promised, "Do you have a way to solve the problem of water resources?"

Zhang Zhizhen has a way, but he doesn't dare to say it, this is the real society, don't doubt people's IQ, if he is like Doraemon, he will come up with a black technology in a while, this is not shouting to the world, I have a problem, come and arrest me.

Zhang Zhi said with a tangled face: "Uncle Prime Minister, I don't know everything, when the scientific research platform is launched, there will always be geniuses in the country who have more than 1.4 billion people in the country." ”

The prime minister nodded and said: "This is normal, I just asked casually, my questions have been solved, and I will step up the handling of the scientific research platform." There was a meeting to take place soon, and I left. ”

After the prime minister finished speaking, he gave his mobile phone number to Zhang Zhi, "This is my private number, if there is anything that can't be solved, call me." ”

Premier Zhang Zhihe walked out and saw the premier's car go away, and sighed in his heart, such an approachable leader is rare.

Back in the auditorium, Zhang Zhi found that Qu Xiaoyan had completed negotiations with representatives of various countries, and saw Zhang Zhi return. Li Lingqiu pulled Zhang Zhi and said: "We have money, tens of billions of money." It's time to start a big project. By the way, what is the Prime Minister looking for you, do you want a life-prolonging potion?"

Zhang Zhi carefully explained to them the process of his conversation with the premier.

Li Lingqiu asked suspiciously: "Shui Dou, why don't I know, your brain made up." ”

Zhang Zhi nodded and said: "I made up with Xinglan Brain, and I all count on Lingqiu to develop it, and the 50 billion can be used casually." ”

"You tease me again, I know Xinglan's strength, with the big database I provided, its results can't be wrong. Li Lingqiu said proudly.

"Sister Qu, why did you negotiate so quickly. Feeling that the negotiation time was too short, Zhang Zhi asked with some doubts.

Qu Xiaoyan explained: "Our contracts are all stipulated, and of course the negotiation is fast. The press conference will begin immediately. ”

Zhang Zhigang wanted to walk to the rostrum, but heard someone shouting behind him: "Mr. Zhang, wait a minute." ”
