Fan Wuxian is very suspicious that the Americans have long conducted targeted genetic tests against Chinese and produced genetic weapons, which is not something he casually remembers, but a solid evidence.

Since the genetics of different human populations are different, the manufacturers of genetic weapons can target the genetic defects of specific groups of people and produce genetic weapons that only kill and injure specific people. To develop such a genetic weapon, the key is to obtain the genetic code of a specific population.

At that time, a research institute at Harvard University in the United States conducted a large number of sero-sampling activities for residents in the rural areas of Anqing in Anhui Province, and some media suspected that there was an ulterior motive in it.

The Anqing area of Anhui Province has a small population mobility, relatively stable blood relations, less medication, and the local people have settled in the local area for more than 1,000 years, and their genes have not been contaminated. Through their testing, the genetic characteristics of Chinese can be easily identified.

According to the United Nations' Global Declaration on the Human Genome, each person has indisputable ownership of their own genome. Therefore, researchers must obtain the consent of their owners when collecting genetic samples. Therefore, people of insight are also calling for beware of your genes being stolen.

A large number of personal genetic samples have been taken away by some international projects, which is actually the loss of national genetic resources.

"There is less research in this area in China, and there is less publicity, and the little imagination we have is still obtained through American blockbusters, and it can be said that there is no sense of prevention in this regard." When mentioning this issue, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "There are not no people in China who are willing to do practical things, but due to the problem of academic level and the general ignorance of various professional knowledge, they always do bad things with good intentions." For example, this serum sampling, you can't say that the undertaker was dedicated to serving the Americans, intent on betraying the genetic samples of the Chinese, but in fact, the consequences of the formation are indeed very bad, God knows what these Americans did with the serum samples? ”

Although Ziqi felt that it might not be bad to the bones, Fan Wuxian himself knew very well that these ideas still had a realistic basis.

Genetic weapons are not only inexpensive to produce, but also have a very rich resource of available species. The lethality of a genetic arsenal at $50 million is far greater than that of a nuclear arsenal at the cost of $5 billion.

So far, the complete genome sequences of more than a dozen microbes in the world have been published, and the cost of each set of genes is only $300. Moreover, after decades of research, scientists have proved that as long as the genes of one species are studied and deciphered, this gene can be transferred to other species of the same kind, and the offspring bred through this are genetically modified species. For example, if the genes of killer bees and man-eating ants are deciphered, and then these genes are transferred to ordinary bees and ants, and then cloned continuously, then these low-cost ordinary bees and ants can be used on the battlefield as genetic weapons.

Genetic weapons have the ability to accurately distinguish between friend and foe that is difficult for other weapons to match, for example, the ability to target the genetic code characteristics of a person or animal to kill and injure such people without injuring others.

Angusen, the director of a biological and chemical weapons factory in South Africa, once revealed that his research team received an order to develop a "chromosomal weapon" in the 80s, mainly to deal with black people.

A more credible report in Jane's Defense Weekly also pointed out that Israeli scientists are using some of the research results of South Africa in order to develop a humanoid bomb against the Arabs. The report also revealed that Israel had discovered the genetic makeup of Arabs, particularly Iraqis.

With some relief, scientists in Western intelligence agencies and the military agree that such genetic weapons will not become a reality anytime soon, and that people do not yet have the technology to weaponize viruses or bacteria to distinguish between different races.

At present, there are two main types of genetic weapons envisaged: one is to kill a species with a special genetic code. The genes targeted by this genetic weapon are unique to the enemy, such as genes that control traits such as hair, skin, eye color, and more. Such genetic weapons are capable of effectively striking the enemy while keeping their own forces out of harm's light, as is the case with the "human race bomb" that Israel intends to develop.

The other is to integrate and strengthen certain genes to kill common species. This kind of genetic weapon is a combination of some genes, such as the integration of some genes of drug resistance, which can greatly improve the lethality. For example, the U.S. military has completed the splicing of the genes of E. coli with anti-tetracycline effect and the genes of Staphylococcus aureus with anti-penicillin effect, and then introduced the spliced molecule into E. coli to cultivate a new E. coli with resistance to the above two fungicides. This new E. coli is difficult to treat.

Future wars will become bloodless wars, in which the opposing sides will no longer rely on the use of weapons of mass destruction, but may first use genetic weapons, causing the destruction of the other side's personnel and living environment, resulting in the loss of combat effectiveness of a nation and a country, economic decline, and bloodless subjugation.

In this case, genocide will no longer be the fantasy of madmen, and the development of gene technology today has had a huge impact on human life, at least for now, gene technology has brought good news to mankind. However, it is worth being vigilant that when gene sequencing and splicing are relatively cheap and biological cloning technology is simple and easy, biological viruses may become rampant like computer viruses.

If biological viruses also have the characteristics of computer viruses, then the most ideal biological warfare agent will be the general susceptibility of the population + the best transmission route (air, water) + acute onset + the required lethality rate + the most prevalent drug resistance + the best controllable trigger (for the specific genetic code attack).

The first three characteristics of biological and chemical weapons are generally possessed, and even have the fourth, but most of the current biological and chemical weapons have a very strong lethality rate and cannot be controlled, can only be used by the opposing sides in wartime, and are subject to international conventions.

With the development of genetic technology, with the help of the fifth antimicrobial resistance, then the lethality will be manageable. This would direct the use of biological weapons towards peacetime, for potential competitors and even allies in order to curb their development.

In the future, once biological weapons have all six functions, they will bring endless disasters to mankind. Whoever possesses such a biological weapon has the potential to have the ability to dominate the globe. At the same time, the disappearance or genocide of certain peoples or races with certain characteristics will no longer be just the fantasies of genocidal maniacs such as Hitler.

"I'm going to have to take good care of my genes." Ziqi said to Fan Wuxian very seriously.

"That's not going to be easy." Fan Wuxian smiled, then hugged Ziqi in shock, and then kissed her.

After a long time, Fan Wuxian let go of Ziqi, who was red-faced and a little wheezing, and said to her, "Look, with a simple kiss, your genes will be lost." ”

"Huh?" Ziqi was a little dazed.

Shen Manhua said with a smile next to him, "Saliva is naturally a good way to extract genetic characteristics. ”

"Ahh After Ziqi heard this, she immediately grabbed Fan Wuxi's neck and shook it constantly, "Give me back my saliva!" ”

Fan Wuzhi and Ziqi stayed in the Northeast planting base for three full days, in addition to visiting, Fan Wuzhi also had an in-depth understanding of the current situation of the base, especially for the operation and financial income and expenditure in detail, and gave Shen Manhua a special approval of a capital budget of one billion yuan, which was at his disposal.

The biggest problem facing Fan Wuzhi now is to continue to expand the scale of the planting base and strive to expand the scale of the base to millions of acres.

Judging from the land situation near the base, there is still a lot of area that can be reclaimed, but how to coordinate the development with the local government is a more complicated problem, although Fan Wuzhi can get a permit to develop new land through high-level relations, but with the increase in the area of the base, it will inevitably cause a greater impact in the local area.

As a super-large enterprise group, how to deal with the relationship with the local population and local forces is also very important, Fan Wuxian took this factor into account, so he put forward his own requirements to Shen Manhua, that is, when recruiting ordinary employees, try to recruit from the local area, so as to form a good cooperative relationship with the local people, and at the same time will play an important role in the development of the local economy and the increase in employment rate.

In fact, as a local government, it also hopes that there will be a super-large enterprise group in its jurisdiction, which can not only form a stable source of tax revenue, but also improve the local reputation, which is very beneficial to the development of its own career.

Of course, Fan Wuxian also put forward some bottom lines, such as enterprises should strengthen cooperation with local governments, but in terms of core research projects, they should still be completely in their own hands, so as not to have any unexpected consequences at that time, which will be more troublesome.

"All in all, green projects are our main development route at the moment, and this will not change." Fan Wuxian explained his requirements to Shen Manhua, "The research of the genetically modified project cannot be left behind, when the cotton base in Xinjiang can start the development of the color cotton project, and strive to achieve a scale as soon as possible, and now we are opening a textile factory project in Lingxi Province, which can be used soon, this is just right." As for the in-depth genetic research project, it is still necessary to keep a low profile, only research, not development. ”

Shen Manhua nodded, taking Fan Wuxi's words to heart.

The genetically modified research project is a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it is an artifact, and if it is used badly, it will backfire on itself, Shen Manhua knows this very well.

There are no pop-ups
