In the side hall. Hu Quanjun sat quietly on the sofa and waited, his black eyes revealing a hint of melancholy, as well as apprehension, confusion, and uneasiness.

The beautiful maid offered exquisite snacks and black tea, and he only touched them symbolically, and then still sat silently thinking about his thoughts.

He is a biologist in the former Gardley Federation, engaged in research in the field of genetic optimization. Before the fall of the Federation, he mainly worked for his father, and had not yet had the opportunity to take charge of himself.

Of course, this is not to say that he is incompetent, in fact, his attainments in this field are no less than his father, who has the title of member of the Federal Academy of Sciences.

"Spore genius"! This is a title privately given to him by his peers in the field of federal genes!

He took over the task that his father had been working on for many years, refining and using certain components of fungal plants to synthesize a gene stabilizer that was different from the mainstream research directions today.

After two years of painstaking research, this project has finally come to fruition! There is another unexpected discovery! It is the ingredients extracted from some common mushroom plants after a little improvement, which can be used as a substitute for the formulation of advanced gene optimization reagents! And the cost is only a few tenths of the former!

The reason why they are so expensive is that in addition to the malicious monopoly and hype of gene pharmaceutical companies and related interest groups, the price of raw materials is expensive, and the biochemical reaction process is too complicated.

In addition to some synthetic biological hormones, the raw materials of these two-level optimization reagents also need to extract certain components from hundreds of rare animals and plants! It is refined through a series of complex technological processes.

After years of unremitting efforts, a considerable part of these rare animals and plants can be artificially cultivated, but some of them cannot achieve the purpose of large-scale breeding.

For example, the sap of the flower used in the tertiary optimization reagent, the rhizome of the wolf's cauldron grass, the internal organs of the conch worm, etc.; There are also the shells of the stone ridge clear shells used in the fourth-level optimization reagent, the brains of the mitten phosphor crab, the scales of the underground rhino worm, and so on! These are extremely expensive ingredients!

As for the raw materials for the fifth and sixth grade reagents, that's not to mention!

Hu Quanjun's research idea is to start from the various fungal organisms that exist widely on the major planets in the star sea, develop and refine substances that can replace the existing optimized reagent raw materials, and fundamentally reduce the cost of optimized reagents!

There are billions of creatures in the Star Sea World! And fungi are one of the largest groups of them! For no other reason, their requirements for a living environment are much simpler than those of those higher creatures!

Fungal plants grow in dark and damp areas, which only require a certain amount of organic matter to survive, and many species do not even need oxygen, which makes them also have a large number of populations on many uninhabited planets!

They can even be found in some extremely harsh environments! Volcanic craters, under glaciers, near underground magma, cold planetary surfaces near vacuum, and more! It can be said that it is the most powerful type of creature in the universe!

And their kinds, as far as the great powers know at the moment, are already more than a billion! The distribution range is also the widest! On almost all living planets, a large number of fungi will be found!

Such a huge ethnic group has a long history and extremely strong vitality! Nature has become the object of attention and research of many well-known human scholars!

The greatest advantage of the human race is that it can adopt and borrow the advantages of many different creatures for its own use! And this attitude has also brought huge benefits to the human world!

Hu Quanjun's grandfather has been dealing with all kinds of fungus creatures since his debut, and by the time of his father, he was still working in this direction! In the end, the cause was inherited by him, and eventually carried forward!

Through the study of these ancient and magical biomes, Hu Quanjun has come up with a number of commendable achievements in just a few years after graduation! One of them is a gene stabilizer made from the hyphae of certain fungi! The effect is not inferior to the top products on the market today, but the cost is only one-fifteenth of the latter!

However, what he didn't expect was that when the relevant patent application was filed, it was given a cold reception by the federal authorities, delayed for a long time, and finally simply rejected it with inexplicable reasons such as "unreliable pharmacological data and substandard clinical trial effects"!

He did not give up, and after making many preparations, he applied again. As a result, this time the result was even worse, not only was the application rejected, but even the project presided over by his father was cut by his superiors, the funds were frozen, and the position was dismissed!

Later, an official who was still good friends with his father explained the reason to them in private: gene optimization reagents and their related derivative products have become an important economic source for the countries of Xinghai! Its position in the national economy is no less than that of pillar industries such as energy, military industry, and mineral development!

And the big consortia that operate these genetic products have gained a considerable voice in the government departments by virtue of their own economic strength! In other words, a fairly solid stratum of vested interests has been formed!

They use the products in their hands as a medium to earn huge profits from the trillions of citizens of the Federation, and use this money to buy off government officials to serve their own interests! Its purpose is to pursue more profits and power and maintain its monopoly position!

If this cheap gene stabilizer is put on the market, it will directly endanger the interests of those consortia! Let their monopoly become an empty word!

Not to mention that the cheap genetic optimization reagent program he plans to launch will allow these consortia and raw material suppliers to get through the door! Just imagine, when this cheap and high-quality reagent is put on the market, who will buy their high-priced products?

Although the common people will benefit greatly from this, what does this have to do with them? They only care about their own profits! No matter how high the cost of your own products is, it will only be the people who will pay for them, and they will have nothing to lose!

As for the government officials, they have long been bought by these consortia, and of course they will only speak for them! No one wants to think about it: if this plan is successfully implemented, the quality of the population of the Federation will be improved in an all-round way! It is not a little bit about the improvement of the country's overall competitiveness!

At that time, the federation was afraid that it would be possible to unify the sea of stars!

After this blow, his father fell ill, and the disheartened Hu Quanjun changed careers and started a business. Not long after, the Borostons invaded, and he moved with his family all the way, first to the Shuofeng Empire, and then to the Prison Soul Star Sea for business reasons.

He also thought about starting his career again in the Empire, but in the end he didn't get his wish! The reason is simple, this country also has a huge class of vested interests in the field of genes, and its own plans will cause intolerable harm to their interests! The result is needless to say!

As long as there is a country where these genetic consortia exist, there is no room for their ambitions to be realized! This is the conclusion that he finally understood after thinking about it repeatedly!

At that time, he was really dead!

However, God doesn't seem to have forgotten him. By chance, he came to the territory of the Yanlong Consortium to live temporarily, just in time for the battle between the Yunhaoyu Group and the Yanlong Consortium for the dominance of this starry sky!

The war did not have much impact on the civilians on the surface of the planet, the Yanlong Consortium was destroyed, the Principality of Starlight was successfully established, and then the territory was expanded, and it was upgraded to a kingdom in less than a year!

This kind of drama of changing the dynasty is staged almost every day in the sea of prison souls, and it is not unusual! What really made him notice the difference between the new regime was some of the policies promulgated by the kingdom's top brass. For example, the policy of distributing genetic optimization reagents aimed at rapidly improving the quality of the population.

At first, he thought it was just an expedient move by the new regime to buy people's hearts, but later he found out that the kingdom did not retain any private genetic consortiums! All industries in this sector have been nationalized and developed as social welfare industries similar to those in the fields of education, health care, and housing!

At this time, he seemed to have guessed the purpose of the young King, and the thought of giving it a try came to his heart.

After hesitating for a while, he walked into the gate of the Kingdom Security Department, confessed to Su Shangqing, and successfully persuaded the other party to give himself the opportunity to meet the supreme ruler of the kingdom!

"The refreshments in the palace are really extraordinary, just these few things, I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred source crystals, right? It's at least equivalent to a fourth-level genetic optimization reagent refined from twenty fungi! ”

He played with the delicate tea cup in his hand and thought with some emotion.

After a while, the Minister of Security, who looked younger than him, came out and said to him with a smile: "Your Majesty let you in!" ”

He put down the teacup, stood up a little crampedly, and said, "I...... What should I say when I see Your Majesty? ”

"It's okay! Your Majesty is very talkative! Moreover, he is very interested in your invention, you just have to tell your opinion truthfully! Su Shangqing explained unhurriedly.

The heavily armed palace guards stepped out of the way and introduced the young talent, who had the title of "Spore Genius", into the main hall.

In the center of the splendid hall was a tall and majestic throne, on which a young man dressed in military uniform with a kind expression sat upright, looking at him with a hint of curiosity in his black eyes.

Sure enough, it's also black-eyed and black-haired, just like me, all of them are inherited from the bloodline of the ancient Chinese country in the earth era! Hu Quanjun felt a little more steady, walked to the center of the jade steps, and bowed.

"No need to be polite!" A gentle voice came from the throne, "According to Su Qing, do you have a way to improve the quality of the kingdom's citizens in an all-round way?" I want to hear your detailed plans! ”

"If it's really possible! Then you are a hero of the kingdom! I will not hesitate to reward the high lord! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! As you wish! Hu Quanjun took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and began to tell about his invention, as well as the feasibility and development prospects of using fungal organisms to develop more genetic products!

Yun Haoyu and several important ministers next to him listened very carefully, interjecting from time to time to ask a few questions, and there were female officials at the scene who were responsible for recording.

With his description, not only did these important ministers become more and more surprised, but even Yun Haoyu's face became excited!

The importance of low-cost advanced gene optimization reagents for a country cannot be overstated!

Even if this cost is reduced by half, it is an unimaginable result! What's more, once this plan is implemented, the cost can be reduced to at least one-tenth! And even more! This is a huge increase in national strength, which can no longer be measured by specific figures!

Yun Haoyu immediately ordered someone to invite Feng Lanxi and asked her to assess the impact of this matter on the kingdom!

"This technology, once promoted, will indeed cut off the financial routes of many people and forces," Crassus sighed, "and it's no wonder that you have been depressed!" ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty had the foresight to nationalize all the industries in this field! Otherwise, another bunch of guys are coming up to you right now! Bernard laughed.

Yun Haoyu said: "Genetic optimization reagents affect not only the quality of the people, but also from the standpoint of human beings, this thing even determines the future life and death of the race!" Just imagine, if half of the citizens of the Gardre Federation could have a genetically optimized physique of level 3 or above! In that great war, will they be destroyed? ”

"I nationalize all the industries in this field, just because I don't want ordinary people to work for the bigwigs of the gene consortium for the rest of their lives! And then those guys used the money to bribe high-ranking government officials and protect their interests! ”

"The wealth of the whole people has been looted by a small number of vested interests, resulting in the exhaustion of national strength in private affairs! This is a national misfortune, and it is a national disaster! So as long as I am in this position, I will never allow such a situation to happen! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers are happy and convinced.

"Hu Qing! You can now work at the Kingdom Genomics Academy! I have made you a third-class baron, and together with Dean Tian Song, I will preside over the development and production of new gene optimization reagents! Yun Haoyu said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's a great honor! Hu Quanjun breathed a sigh of relief.

What this technology means to the kingdom is so important! Just imagine, when the entire kingdom's 400 billion population, as long as a quarter reaches the level of genetic optimization above level 3, it is obvious to the improvement of national strength!

At that time, the kingdom will completely dominate the kingdoms of the Star Sea in terms of population quality! However, the cost paid is far lower than expected, and the manpower and material resources saved can be used to develop more and better genetic drugs......

One step ahead, one step at a time! In the coming chaotic times of the Star Sea, this nascent regime has another advantage beyond the reach of other forces!

(PS: The impact of the price of genetic optimization reagents on the people of the empire is a bit similar to today's housing prices, so you can experience it for yourself!) Hehe! ）
