Chapter 208: A Potential Food Crisis
The screening of the experimenters is quite strict, and it is not possible to register if you want to sign up, and there are certain requirements for physical fitness, gender, age, mental resistance, and willpower. In general, it is still biased towards the soldier level, and the number of places left for the people is not too many, at most only a few dozen.
In order to select qualified test candidates, you can register by filling in the online form, and the relevant staff will conduct a certain screening from the applicants. Naturally, the cost is also free of charge and is borne by the Yunhai government.
Ding Yuan sat in the center of the venue, looking at the crowd of enthusiastic registrations, his mood was naturally very good, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's rare, Lao Ding, it turns out that you can laugh too. I thought you'd never laugh! General Guo Xianxian, who was sitting next to him, saw the smile on Ding Yuan's face and said.
"Who wants to keep a straight face all day long? Isn't there no way? Ding Yuan sighed: "When you can laugh, you still have to laugh as much as possible." Otherwise, the name Ding Yuan will become the big bad wolf in the mouth of children. ”
To be honest, it had been a long, long time since he took over the management of the Yunhai.
There is always a pressure that can capsize at any time and at any time.
These crises not only come from the outside world, but also from the inside, from the beginning of the economic system reform, the cohesion of the people's hearts, the anti-corruption incident, the brain control worm, and the White Mist Continent, etc., everything, as long as there is a place that is not handled well, internal contradictions will erupt, to this point, life is getting better and better, it is not easy!
The Sea of Clouds is only a shelter of less than 160,000 people, it does not have a huge resource reserve like the headquarters, nor does it have a powerful arsenal, and it has even completely lost contact with other shelters and shelters.
In this case, everything is on your own.
Sometimes he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at all.
But now, this operation seems to prove that even if the Yunhai is separated from the resources in the rear, it can still survive in the Yanghe, complete its own set of internal circular economy, and even survive well.
After absorbing the legacy of another worldly civilization, the Sea of Clouds will become more and more powerful!
That's the most relaxing part!
With talents, the system has begun to slowly improve, what else is there to worry about? It is the only society that has enough confidence to survive even if it encounters some setbacks.
Thinking of this, Ding Yuan stood up from his position and found Lu Yiming and the others: "Xiao Lu, do you have any ideas to sign up for the experiment?" By your physical standards, you'll definitely be able to qualify for the first batch. We also have to collect the experimental data of the superpowers. ”
"Huh?" Lu Yiming scratched his hair: "I'll think about it again, I haven't thought about it yet...... Haha, although it seems that this physical enhancement potion is quite good. ”
"Whatever you want, nothing compulsive. However, if you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait a long time. ”
For Ding Yuan and other management, the most troublesome problem facing the whole society is actually the food problem.
Not only should everyone be fed, but also eat well.
After the use of fortifying drugs, the third development of the human body requires a large amount of excellent protein to supplement nutrition, and it is not possible to eat a little carbohydrate to develop normally.
It must have high-quality proteins such as chicken, duck, beef, and pork, as well as dietary fibers such as fruits and vegetables, and a balanced mix.
In the third development, the increase of 40%-50% of the amount of food is basically increased on these high-quality foods, and eating some potatoes and rice is not enough at all. If you don't have enough nutrients, your physique won't improve.
"The whole development period is only two months, but I have to eat so much meat...... 160,000 people, if the volume is increased by 50%, ......," an official in charge of food shuddered.
He was simply frightened.
This fact also made Ding Yuan and the others feel a little annoyed, the Yunhai did not have enough space at all to produce so much high-quality food!
The space of the Yunhai is limited, and a large part of it has to be used for living, as well as scientific research, industry, commerce, and entertainment, which cannot be saved at all. The rest of the agricultural land, planting some rice, potatoes, and some vegetables, is no problem to feed everyone, but if you want to raise a large flock of chickens, ducks and geese, it is really a bit difficult.
The feed ratio of chickens is 2, that is, a chicken eats two portions of food, and only one portion of meat will be produced; The feed ratio of the pig is 3, and only after eating 3 portions of food will 1 piece of meat grow. Moreover, the growth of these animals also needs protein, soybean meal, and it is difficult to grow meat by eating carbohydrates alone.
The yield of soybeans is actually not high, and the yield per mu is much less than that of rice and potatoes. The yield of rice per mu is easy, and the soybean yield is only five or six hundred catties.
So Ding Yuan was happy at the same time, but he was also habitually sad, if the demand for meat for 160,000 people increased by a large margin, it would be terrible!
This means that food production must be doubled in order to have a large supply of meat.
Once the food crisis breaks out, it will kill people!
But Yunhai is too small for grain production to be doubled...... In the end, there has to be a continent to be able to accomplish this real goal.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and asked, "Professor, I have a question, when do you think this new human augmentation biotechnology will finally be able to be popularized on a large scale?" Ahem...... We have to prepare the food. If you don't have enough protein, the three developments of the human body will not be successful, right? When the time comes, everyone will not have anything to eat, and that will be a problem. ”
The professor stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Mr. Ding, this is not in a hurry, we have thought about it, at the beginning, only three hundred experiments will be conducted, and it will take at least several months to follow up and investigate before it can be slowly extended to thousands of people, after all, this matter involves the safety of the entire Yunhai Ship, and it cannot be too urgent." ”
"It's like the phase I, II, and III clinical trials of a vaccine, and we have to sort out the data link by link. This is a brand-new technology, even if the intelligent life in the parallel world has shown us a lot of paths, we still have to be cautious, and we still have to explore the experience ourselves, and we will not fully trust the literature. ”
"The supply of meat for a few hundred people should be fine, right?"
Ding Yuan gritted his teeth: "There are still tens of thousands of tons of frozen pork in the freezer, and there is no problem for the time being." ”
The professor on the stage said: "If there is nothing wrong, it will take one to three years before it can be rolled out on a large scale." ”
Hearing that it would take one to three years to be widely promoted, Ding Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, maybe there will be a new turnaround. Now only a few hundred people are experimenting, and if you squeeze it a little more, there will naturally be no problem with the supply of nutrients.
"Hey, what a headache."
It's also a worry in happiness......
So on this day, a new era was opened......
The presenter on the TV set solemnly announced to all the people: this is the age of living things!
"Welcome to all college entrance examination candidates, sign up for biology majors!"
Yes, the age of living things is finally long overdue...... It came a little late, but it finally came.
In the old days of the earth, it was always said that the 21st century was the century of living things, but over time, this phrase turned into a less funny joke.
After graduating with a PhD in biology, I couldn't find a job at all, and it was a bit difficult to even become a doctor, after all, biology and medicine are still very different; After the completion of the human gene sequencing project, there is still not much understanding of human genes; The cure of cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, ALS and other incurable diseases has been ten years after decade, and there has been a little progress, but it is not too big......
Until today, with the continuous decipherment of the materials of civilization in other worlds, the biological science of mankind has suddenly made an unimaginable giant leap!
Many questions that I couldn't understand before were suddenly understood. Almost every day, new papers are translated, and scientists just have to study.
The civilization of this parallel world, human beings named it "White Mist Civilization".
Compared with the other technologies of the White Mist Civilization and human beings, they are actually half a pound and eight taels, which is not too much worse, but in the project of biology, it is at least 50 years or even a century ahead of human beings!
Such a big cake was placed in front of him, so that the biologists in the sea of clouds were stunned and dizzy all day long.
Talent...... There is no shortage of talent!
Even with the assistance of Sakura Elixir, the top talents are still not enough.
All kinds of media and television stations are enthusiastically broadcasting this news, and even high school students in schools know that this is a biological century.
This major is very popular and promising, and everyone is welcome to apply.
Definitely not bragging!
With the vigorous development of biology, other industries have also benefited. For example, in medicine, various incurable diseases may be better solved, and the average life expectancy of human beings will undoubtedly be extended; Human organ printing technology is also becoming more and more mature, and the use of stem cells to culture human organs is no longer a problem.
Another example is the emergence of the "Sakura" potion, which allows experts in various fields to better absorb knowledge. The use of this potion needs to pass strict audits, but as long as a few geniuses appear, it is enough to make the entire civilization take a big step forward!
And in this huge change of the times, Lu Yiming is hesitating whether to sign up for the first "Body Strengthening Medicine" experiment.
He was naturally quite excited about the strengthening of his body, and now he couldn't beat Guo Weiqiang, the little soldier under his hand, and he didn't dare to scold him loudly.
But he was a little hesitant, this potion came from the White Mist Civilization. Well, it's not my own research, and it's always a little unreliable from a security point of view.
In short, these two moods were mixed together, and he didn't know how to choose.
"Hey, Lily, there's something I want to ask you." He saw Jin Lili hurriedly walking by, and hurriedly said hello.
"Why do you want to invite me to dinner again?" Jin Lili turned her head and smiled: "I'm very busy!" Sister Yuan still has some things for me to do......"
Professor Yuan, who researched the X-strengthening potion, was very busy, and Jin Lili, as a member of the group, worked overtime every day, and she didn't see each other once in three days.
Lu Yiming hadn't played with her for a few days, but he missed her: "Hmm, if you want...... I treat you to dessert? I just have a question for you. ”
