Chapter 676: Peacock Star's Dark History (2)
Immediately afterwards, Cai Youyou told everyone that through the written accounts left on those stone tablets, it can be known that in order to study factory food, some people who were committed to solving the food problem, and some poor people who could no longer afford the increasingly expensive natural food, became the first batch of volunteers to try factory food.
At that time, the scientists who worked day and night in the laboratory, praying that the food crisis could be successfully solved and everyone in the Eastern Star Alliance could be fed, their intentions were very good, their expectations were very good, and their spirit of hard work day and night was very admirable.
After an unknown number of trial and error, the research and development of factory food finally achieved initial success, and then, little by little, breakthroughs were made.
However, under the conditions at that time, there was a big shortcoming in factory food, which made it impossible for the research success of the entire scientific research team to be popularized throughout the Eastern Star Alliance, to seek benefits for the vast number of poor people in the Eastern Star Alliance, to become a substitute food for their survival, and to use it for the investors who supported the scientific research team to seek benefits.
That's because the cost of producing factory food was too high at the time.
At the time, the price of factory food far exceeded the price of natural food, which was already declining and becoming increasingly scarce.
The price is prohibitively high.
Profiteering is the characteristic of most unscrupulous businessmen. They don't want to see the money they invested in disappearing without bringing them any benefits.
After the initial success of the factory food experiment, the investors who had already seen the future development prospects of the factory food, and the huge profits contained in it began to order the R&D team at that time to reduce the cost of making the factory food as much as possible, so as to obtain more profits.
How could scientists bent on solving the food crisis have their arms twisted past the thick thighs of investors?
They began to be forced to reduce costs as much as possible from labor costs, equipment costs, and so on, but they still failed to meet the requirements of investors, and could not let the price of factory food fall to a range that was acceptable to most ordinary people.
Under the pressure of investors, some people finally began to move the idea of reducing costs to the raw materials for processing factory food.
Investors who have received the cost accounting report are finally satisfied.
However, the idea of reducing the cost of raw materials was devastating to the volunteers who tried factory food.
More and more of the volunteers who participated in the tasting began to suffer from strange diseases that had never been seen before in the history of human medicine.
The emergence of this strange disease has made investors who feel that if the developed factory food is put into mass production, it will lead to a large-scale outbreak of strange diseases, fearing that the failure of the project will hurt their interests.
Therefore, they have been trying to solve this problem.
While they spent a lot of money to hire a medical team to try to develop a drug that could cure the strange disease, they continued to experiment with the research and development of factory food, hoping to control the occurrence of the strange disease by adjusting the formula and adding some chemical agents that could restrain the disease......
