Section 442 Seed Project
The information is in English.
Scientists have to consult all kinds of English materials, read English journals, and write papers, and they have to deal with English.
More than 100 experts present were able to understand English.
Sitting at the front of the conference hall, the expert who first got the information looked down.
The information is less than 10 pages long.
Each page is stamped with a red top-secret stamp in the upper right corner.
Move your gaze to the main text.
The top heading, a string of black and bold English.
‘seedengineering’
Translated as seed engineering.
'Seed engineering' something.
A lot of people immediately have a big string of question marks in their heads.
The gaze of the eyes is downward.
Rumble!
The head seemed to suddenly sound like a thunderbolt, and he was stunned all of a sudden, his eyes were staring straight, and his eyes were staring straight at the above lines of English, his eyes seemed to have lost focus, and he was sluggish, and he looked at these lines for a long time, as if these lines of words could see the flowers.
“SeedBankofprehistoriccivilization。”
“Theseedlibrarystoredmillionsofseeds。”
These two strings translated into English are,
"The Doomsday Seed Bank of Prehistoric Civilizations."
"There are 957251 seeds in the seed bank."
All the experts present were stunned by the two strings of English and lost their ability to think.
20 seconds!
30 seconds!
40 seconds!
One minute!
It wasn't until a minute had passed that someone came to their senses. I didn't read the rest of the content. The audience was boiling. They all stood up, everyone was so excited that they almost trembled, everyone's eyes were staring in one direction, Chen Rui's side, they wanted to know an answer the most at this time, "Mr. Chen, the Doomsday Seed Bank of Prehistoric Civilization!" The seed bank has 957251 seeds in stock! It's not true. ”
Previously, Chen Rui counted the number of Doomsday Seed Banks.
Previously guessed. The Doomsday Seed Bank has millions of seeds, guessed by the number of small drawers on the alloy cabinet, and in reality, many of them are empty.
In fact, the Doomsday Seed Bank stores 957251 seeds.
Chen Rui nodded and said, "Yes, I have obtained 957251 prehistoric seeds, I recruited you, and I need you to be in agriculture." Extensive knowledge of plants, seeds. to nurture these seeds, to study the uses of these plants, and then, for the benefit of humanity. ”
Hearing this, almost immediately, the atmosphere of the audience was like a big explosion, and it became a sensation, so excited that it seemed that his head was deprived of oxygen, and even his breathing was short, and his heart was beating rapidly.
A doomsday seed bank for prehistoric civilizations.
The Doomsday Seed Bank contains more than 950,000 prehistoric seeds.
Nursery of prehistoric seeds.
Even the most unresponsive person can understand in a second that the significance of the 'seed project' to mankind, its importance to mankind, and its weight to mankind exceed that of the United States moon landing program, the human genome project and other huge engineering projects in human history.
At this time, many scientists have in their minds the idea of a future appearance on Earth.
On farms all over the world, farmland is full of prehistoric crops, and these plants have become the main food crops of modern times, along with rice, wheat, corn and soybeans, appearing on the tables of people all over the world and becoming an indispensable staple food for people every day.
In orchards all over the world, on hillsides, in the yards of village houses, planted with prehistoric fruit trees, in the harvest season full of fruits, these fruits appear in supermarkets all over the world, becoming as common fruits as pears, peaches, apples, grass mold.
In people's vegetable gardens, prehistoric vegetable varieties are planted, and families sit at the dining table and eat prehistoric vegetables.
Lumberjacks cut down prehistoric trees for building materials, furniture, and paper.
A staff member of a Chinese medicine pharmacy grabs prehistoric herbs from a medicine drawer and dispenses them to patients
People sitting on stools made of prehistoric trees, dining tables, eating prehistoric food crops, fruits, vegetables, sick, frying prehistoric herbs in a casserole, do not think of the contributions made by the people sitting here today.
They are very fortunate and excited to be part of the 'Seed Project'.
"You will first read the relevant information of the seed project I sent you, and after reading it, you can ask any questions." Chen Rui said.
Everyone is starting to look at the information in hand.
In the conference hall, there was no sound, except for the sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves when everyone flipped through the papers.
Half an hour later.
Everyone read the information in hand.
All scientists were shocked by the scale of the 'seed project'.
The site used for cultivating seeds, cultivating seedlings and fattening farms reaches 24 square kilometers, and the total area of Tortuga Island is only more than 180 square kilometers, and 24 square kilometers accounts for more than 10 percent of the total area of Tortuga Island.
The number of scientists involved in the 'seed project' is 117 people, most of the scientists are well-known scientists in the field of agriculture, seeds, plants and other disciplines in the world, and they all have a very big reputation, and the average annual salary of the 117 scientists recruited has reached more than 700,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 4 million yuan, and most of the scientists in the world cannot get this annual salary.
There are 1,171 farm workers, all of whom are well-paid, with a monthly salary equivalent to at least 15,000 yuan.
If necessary, the number of scientists and farm workers can be increased several times, and even to tens of thousands.
Billions of dollars have been invested, and again, if necessary, can reach more than 10 billion dollars at any time.
More than 950,000 kinds of prehistoric seeds will be cultivated, and more than 100,000 kinds of plant seedlings will be cultivated.
As the most important project of mankind, the seed project is a world-class project.
It is conceivable that once the news reaches the whole world, almost all countries in the world will participate.
Eventually, the number of countries participating in the seed project will reach hundreds of countries and regions, and the number of participants may reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the investment will be tens of billions of dollars.
At this time, a white scientist wearing a blue and red striped plaid shirt, a red tie, a pair of jeans, and a pair of black-framed glasses, giving people the deepest impression of a big nose, closed the information in his hand and asked Chen Rui, "Mr. Chen, the project funds required for the seed project are very huge, at least billions of dollars, and may reach tens of billions of dollars."
