Chapter 80: Liang Dou
"Did you say when the food will start to be planted?" Shen Mingyi asked.
"The experimental field has been opened, the scale is not small, although it is a trial seed, but it should also be regarded as a real production." Li Qingshui talked about the farmland, although he showed a relaxed expression, but his tone was not completely released, "It's just that I don't know how many seasons this plant can be planted, and whether the plant will evolve after being planted on a large scale, it also needs to be investigated." ”
"But overall, this is excellent news, and you can also walk out this good news in advance to stabilize the morale of the army." Li Qingshui looked at Shen Mingyi with a smile, "But it doesn't matter if you say it or not, it is estimated that if you don't say it, in a few hours, the research institute will also have someone to notify you of the news." After all, stabilizing the morale of the military is a top priority. ”
"That is, if you have food, you won't be in a big situation." Shen Ming smiled, "Then I'll leave first, it's also a good thing to let my comrades-in-arms know the news in advance." ”
"Well, go ahead." Li Qingshui nodded and sat back in front of the computer.
As soon as Shen Ming left the room, the door closed, and after walking away, the relaxed look on Li Qingshui's face was also swept away, and he was replaced with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Liu Chang knew that something was wrong. "Is there a problem with the food?"
"Well, very serious problem. It is said to be a new variety of crops, but in fact it is a genetically modified monster. Li Qingshui looked at the computer and said in a heavy tone: "The artificial isolation of genes into the crop genome, and the use of red mist ingredients, seems to create crops with good yield and nutrition, but in fact, this is really playing with fire!" ”
"This is really a radical, he wants to do everything overnight, with this kind of energy, it is better to find edible food earlier!" Li Qingshui spoke, with an angry look on his face, "And that Zhao Zhuo even proposed to try to introduce the genes of the monsters outside into the human body, this is really a bold idea!" ”
"Is there any harm to this modified food?" Liu Chang does not understand a series of scientific terms, and he only cares about the most fundamental question - what will be the result of eating this modified food.
"I can't say exactly what the harm is, but anything that doesn't follow the laws of nature is never good. This kind of disadvantage may not be obvious in a short time, but in the future, something big will definitely happen. Li Qingshui said: "It's like, those monsters outside, although they are strangely shaped, are the products of nature, the result of independent evolution and change of genes." Logically speaking, they are just ordinary creatures, no matter how strange they look, they can't be called monsters! ”
What Zhao Zhuo wants to do now is a real artificial combination, which is to use artificial means to recombine genes. It seems that different excellent genetic fragments of various organisms are used, but this kind of product that is free from nature will definitely cause irreversible consequences in the end. ”
"What then?" For the first time, Liu Chang heard Li Qingshui, who had always been calm, say such "alarmist" words.
"No, I don't have a say now, I can't stop anything. And I don't have time to find new food crops to appease the social system, so all we can do is be silent and eat according to the previous recipes. Li Qingshui looked at Liu Chang and said, "When new food is planted and popularized to ordinary soldiers and citizens outside, there must be some spare ordinary food." We'll still have normal food, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”
Li Qingshui's words revealed a kind of helplessness that had the heart to save the country but was unable to return to heaven.
"That's all I can do." Liu Chang nodded, "I will also help you find new food seeds as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm." Li Qingshui rubbed his eyes and nodded, "My basic course will be completed soon, and I will summarize it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will publish my new ecological theory of the earth, and I will enter the high-level as soon as possible." ”
"Good!" Liu Chang nodded, "You continue to be busy with yours, I will try to exercise my physical fitness in the past two days, and I will talk about other things later." ”
After saying this, Liu Chang pulled Xiao Jing and walked out of the door again, and walked to the huge fitness room again.
And three days later, this experimental area really sent out a news storm that could shock Zhengzhou.
The news is that a new food variety has finally been developed in the experimental park! This new type of food, named "Liang Bean", has been officially successfully experimented. This crop, named by senior researcher "Zhao Zhuo", has three advantages that can shock the world: "short production cycle", "high yield per unit area" and "rich nutrients":
Short production cycle - in this foggy world, it only takes seven days for this crop to be planted to produce a finished fruit.
The yield per unit area is high -- the yield per mu can produce 3,000 gold of finished fruits, which is much higher than that of rice and corn, which were the kings of yield per unit area in the past.
And if the first two advantages of this new crop are just shocking, then the last advantage of this "Liang Bean" - rich in nutrients is enough to make people crazy.
According to "Zhao Zhuo", a senior researcher in the experimental park, this new type of crop fruit, as long as the average person eats 300 grams a day, that is, a small half bowl of food, it is enough to supplement all the nutritional needs of ordinary people in a day. It is far more nutritious than any food of previous times, and claims to be enough to solve the food crisis of all mankind. Damn! Looking at the document in his hand to inform the citizens, Li Qingshui slammed the newspaper on the table.
At the same time, the door of his experimental office was opened, and Liu Chang led the little girl in.
"Ouch, that's a good place!" Liu Chang walked into Li Qingshui's laboratory and said with a smile: "It's good to be promoted, even the reading power office is available, how is it, how did you feel on the first day of taking office?" ”
"No, I haven't been assigned a task yet, what about you?" Li Qingshui looked at the slightly bulging muscles on Liu Chang's body, "How much is the strength of life?" ”
"5.6, close to 6."
"Well, it's better not to train too big muscle blocks and affect mobility."
"I know I don't have too much protein to build big muscles."
"That's good, by the way, what happened to the gym that was unstable by the breath of life, is he dead?"
"Nope." The little girl said: "It's just that the breath of life is getting weaker and weaker, and now it has dropped to below 4, and it is estimated that in a few days, even ordinary people will not be as good as it." ”
"Well, I'm probably going to die then." After Li Qingshui said this, the door of his office was pushed open again with a crisp knock.
A smiling young man walked in.
"Haha, Brother Qingshui." The person who came was kind-hearted, and when he walked in, he greeted everyone in the room, "Yo, Brother Qingshui's family is also here!" ”
"Well, it's all there. Brother Zhao Zhuo came to me for something. Li Qingshui also greeted politely.
"Well, the beans on the experimental bench have been produced, I'm very happy, and I specially brought a bowl for Brother Qingshui to try." Zhao Zhuo walked to Li Qingshui's desk with a smile, took out a glassware from the pocket of the white coat he was wearing, and placed it on his desk.
"You're so polite." Li Qingshui smiled, "You solved the food crisis this time, and you really saved the lives of most of the people in Zhengzhou City!" ”
"Haha, food is such a small thing, I believe that even if I don't do it, other people can make it, there is nothing to boast about." Zhao Zhuo nodded humbly, "However, the "New Ecology of the Earth" you published yesterday is really brilliant, whether it is meteorological or biological system, it is very accurate." In particular, the "Food Web Theory" is really in one sentence, and our group of researchers were all amazed to see it yesterday. The establishment of your theoretical system can be regarded as pointing out a direction for the way forward of our ecological science! That's the real science! ”
"Haha, let's stop flattering each other." Li Qingshui put away the crystal clear beans and said, "There must be something wrong with you looking for me today, right?" ”
"Well, talking to smart people is a matter of convenience, I'll make a long story short." Zhao Zhuo still showed a kind smile, "I am still here as a lobbyist on the order of the chief of staff, and I hope that Mr. Li can join our group of ......."
"Well, I'll think about it." Before the other party finished speaking, Li Qingshui nodded in agreement, interrupting him.
And this clear attitude of refusal also made Zhao Zhuo's kind smile freeze on his face.
"Well, since Brother Qingshui said to think about it, then I'll ask again in three days." After a moment of stiffness, the corners of Zhao Zhuo's eyes drooped, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to say it." The large amount of grain on the side of the test field was also produced in three days, and our ordinary food reserves were just insufficient. So, after three days, all but one of the other people's food supplies will be replaced by this new crop. And what this means, I think Brother Qingshui knows better than me. ”
"You're threatening me?" Li Qingshui's face was expressionless.
"I just hope you'll think about it." After saying this, Zhao Zhuo turned around and left, and closed the door with a "bang". "I'll come back in three days, and I hope that Mr. Li will really think it through by then!"
"What an arrogant guy!" Liu Chang stared at Zhao Zhuo's departing back and said.
"If you don't succeed, you become a benevolent, and that's the way radicals do things." Li Qingshui whispered softly: "It's just that by their images, our food plan has to be advanced." ”
"Okay, I'll go out and find something to eat. I believe that with my current ability, it will not be difficult to find food even if I don't rely on food supplies. Liu Chang said confidently: "The land of Zhengzhou is not so dangerous, as long as I don't go into the jungle, I shouldn't be in any danger." ”
"Not necessarily, there are many people here, there are few animals, and it is not so easy to find food." Li Qingshui said: "And this time you go out, I hope you find plants that can be grown, instead of food that you will eat at once." You have more important things to do later on, and you can't keep wasting your time on hunting. ”
