Chapter 29: Institute of Biological Research
December 1o, 19o6, Hakuba Industrial Zone.
Seventeen kilometers northwest of the spherical office building, there is a small valley. The valley is shaped like an octagonal bowl, with a diameter of about 7oo meters and a height difference of about 5o meters from the bottom to the top. Because of its distance from the water source, the bottom is overgrown with shrubs, rocks, and barren land, so the locals did not cultivate the area.
Half a year ago, when Xingke Company bought land on a large scale, it also bought it here and several surrounding hills by the way, 1 yuan and 3o acres, which was very cheap.
After Xingke Company bought it, it immediately organized a large number of manpower and machinery to carry out a large-scale transformation of this small valley, the "bottom of the bowl" was expanded, the ground was all bulldozed, so that the inner wall was built into a steep slope close to 8o degrees, and the slope protection fort was built with stone and reinforced concrete. The top of the "bowl mouth" was leveled and a ring road was built. They also used explosives to make a 2o meter-wide opening in the "bowl wall" as an entrance and exit to the outside world.
It is heavily guarded, and the level of security is second only to the spherical office building base itself, and higher than the company's headquarters. There are 2 cordons around the perimeter, and 2oo guards are protected 24 hours a day.
At the entrance and exit of this "big bowl", there are several signboards - "Xingke Group Biology Research Institute (Test Base)" and "Xingke Group Pharmacology Research Institute (Test Base)".
Of course, in addition to the gate and ground, most of the buildings in this laboratory are still under construction, and now it is a hot scene here, and the construction team is working overtime to carry out the construction. The company demanded that the main construction work here must be completed before the Spring Festival.
Not far from the site, there are several rows of temporary wooden houses surrounded by barbed wire, which are temporary workplaces for the staff of the laboratory, and although the official building is still under repair, it does not affect the start of work.
In one of the largest temporary wood-paneled rooms, there are hundreds of dark green glass jars the size of mineral water buckets, each connected to a dozen pipes and wires, as well as a control table. There is also a terminal display next to each row of cans. You can vaguely see that there are biological embryos in the jar, and these embryos are slowly wriggling, and a string of small bubbles emerges from time to time. There is no doubt that these glass jars are biological culture tanks, which were science fiction at the beginning of the 21st century, and have become popular in the 23rd century.
Dozens of staff in white coats patrolled the biological cultivation tanks, recording the number of jΓΉ in the terminal from time to time, or making adjustments. A black and straight girl commanded in front of the main control screen.
"No. 122 tank, input negative ion solvent, 5o ml ......"
"The oxygen content of the culture solution in tank 55 was too high, and the oxygen concentration was immediately reduced by 11%......"
She is the person in charge here, Ji Huiye, she is a high-level biochemical person created by the biologist template, and if you talk about the level of knowledge, the current biologists of the entire earth are not as good as her. There is no way, the centuries-old gap in science is an insurmountable chasm.
At this time, a staff member came over to report: "Director Ji, Mr. Wen is here...... "The technicians here are all biochemical people, on the one hand, for confidentiality, on the other hand, there is no suitable local natural person yet, at least Mr. Wen has not found it.
"Everyone has worked hard...... Wen Desi greeted everyone, and said to Ji Huiye: "Huiye, how is the [Nuwa Plan] going?"
Ji Huiye called up the relevant information on the main control light brain and replied: "Mr. Wen, the level of craftsmanship in this era is too poor, even if the culture tank made in Germany can only reach the C2 standard, and the cultivation of human embryos needs at least the A3 standard. In addition, the number of control devices is not enough, but this can be solved by guΓ² in parallel, and thousands of sets of spare parts can be made in the base, which is not a problem. So, the biggest problem now is the glass culture tank......"
Wen Desi nodded: "Germany's glass technology is already the best on the earth at present, if they can't help it, then other countries can't help it." Are these tanks really unusable?"
Ji Huiye continued: "If you insist, it's not impossible to use. However, if the glass impurities are too high, it will cause adverse effects on the embryo. In this way, if these tanks were used, the success rate of human conditioning would not exceed 6o%......"
The Nuwa Project is a plan to expand the production of cyborg humans. The cyborg is really easy to use, but there are so many cultivation tanks in the base, and you can only cultivate up to 4o at a time, which is really not enough.
"That's it......" Although he was a little disappointed, he was also mentally prepared. At the level of the early 20o, it is not so easy to replicate a working culture tank, and a success rate of 6o% is unacceptable. "Okay, before the breakthrough of glass technology, the [Nuwa Project] will be temporarily stopped......"
Wen Desi asked again, "What about the [Shennong Plan] and the [Beastmaster Plan]?"
"There is no problem with these two plans, although the current equipment is not suitable for cultivating humans, but the low-level creatures used to cultivate the [Beastmaster Plan] are completely sufficient, and the success rate of creatures with intelligence below 8o can reach 95%......" Ji Huiye said with a smile: "Most of the products of the [Shennong Plan] are crops, and the number of genes is ready-made, and only the genetic map of similar varieties needs to be rewritten." The culture requirements for plant embryos are very low, and the current culture tank is perfectly fine. β
"Well, the [Shennong Plan] is according to the original plan, and the [Beastmaster Plan] will first get out the letter eagle and the nine dog, these two animals are the most needed at the moment. Wen Desi said.
"No problem, Mr. Wen. According to the current progress, mass production can be carried out in half a year at most. β
The [Shennong Plan] is to copy all kinds of improved crops, poultry and livestock in later generations, while the [Beastmaster Plan] is to copy various working animals, such as military horses, military dogs and other animals. Among them, the No. 9 dog is a genetically engineered working dog in the 23rd century. It has a robust physique, is extremely ferocious, extremely adaptable, and has an intelligence equivalent to that of a twelve-year-old, making it a versatile working dog.
The eagle is a new species that uses genetic technology, which is modeled after the peregrine falcon and combines the dominant genes of birds such as carrier pigeons, golden eagles, and owls. The intelligence is far superior to that of carrier pigeons, and it has a very strong ability to fly long distances, it can fly for 3o hours continuously at 1oo kilometers. In the 23rd century, it almost completely replaced the carrier pigeon as a new racing pet.
Now he had enough radio equipment in his hands, and it would be completely unnecessary if he was just using this kind of thing to send letters. There are two things that Mr. Wen likes about the letter eagle, the first is that its carrying capacity is much higher than that of the carrier pigeon, which can carry about a kilogram of cargo for a long flight, and is very useful for transporting some gadgets such as medicines and films. The second is that it has a very high intelligence, similar to the No. 9 dog, and in the current lack of satellites and aircraft, it can be used as a biological version of the "unmanned reconnaissance aircraft".

Ji Huiye took Wen Deji to another slightly smaller room, which was the drug test room.
She took out a bottle of yellow pills and said, "Mr. Wen, the 914 you said, we have already modified it, and it is now finalized and ready for mass production......
"Oh, how's it going?"
Ji Huiye replied: "After testing, its efficacy is 6o6 of 3. 8 times, while the side effects are 914 times 5. 8%......β
"Very good, so that our pharmaceutical factory will have a fist product, hehe......" Wen Desi said happily: "The name has been chosen, right?"
"According to the naming of 6o6 and 914, it should be called 998. Ji Huiye smiled. "Because we adjusted the formula 84 times on the basis of the 914......"
"998, 998, hahaha, this name is good, it's so decided......" Mr. Wen also thought this name was more interesting.
Ji Huiye said: "Mr. Wen, we have completed the formulation of the mass production process of 47 sulfonamides, as well as the strain culture process of 24 antibiotics......
Wen Desi shook his head and said: "Don't rush these, let's come step by step, it is enough to have 998 as the main product in the past few years, sulfonamides and antibiotics will be talked about in a few years, but they have been used within our company before." β
998 is mainly used to treat syphilis, and it is suitable for a relatively small number of people, but sulfonamides are different from antibiotics, their temptation is too great, and they are too hateful. If you don't have enough strength, just wait for the big powers to threaten you. Mr. Wen is not so stupid.
Mr. Wen thought for a while, and then said: "Huiye, you sort out my country's Chinese patent medicines, such as Yunnan Baiyao, Pien Tze Huang, Liushen Pill, Po Chai Pill, etc., and make a suitable mass production process design for the present." Chinese patent medicine can also make money......"
In the 23rd century, many previously secret formulas, such as Baiyao, Pien Tze Huang or something, have been made public. The data room of the base has the formulations and production processes of more than n kinds of Chinese patent medicines. Something like this that catches medicine according to the prescription basically has no technical content, and the threshold is very low, as long as you pay attention to the confidentiality of the formula.
..........................................................................................
In the afternoon, Wen Desi returned to the company's headquarters, where Wang Mushi was already waiting for him.
Some time ago, after careful consideration, Wang Da finally decided to completely join Xingke Company. Wen Desi was also a little surprised by the initiative of the Zijiang Boat Gang, and he was originally ready to solve it by force. But since I'm here, it's a bit of a relief. However, although Mr. Wen accepted the refuge of the boat gang, all the people in it were scattered and distributed, and all those who did not meet the standards were sent to the training camp for training.
As for Wang Da, he is also a talent, and at the same time, in order to buy horse bones, he also wants to set a model, and Mr. Wen appointed Wang Mushi as the deputy manager of the shipping company. However, his main responsibilities as an assistant manager have little to do with shipping.
"Manager Wang, how are you doing the market research?" Mr. Wen said with a smile.
Wang Mushi took out a booklet and said: "Mr. Wen, Zizhou, Chengdu Mansion, Xuzhou Mansion (Yibin) and other places have been almost investigated, Chongqing and Dazhou are not very familiar with each other, and it will take some time to ......"
Wen Desi flipped through it and praised: "Yes, the personnel situation, equipment situation, social relations, and the topography of the headquarters are all very clear...... Manager Wang, it seems that you are very talented in market research...... There are 17 customers here in Zizhou, so we will do business with these 17 ......" Mr. Wen showed a very kind smile on his face.
"You have won the award...... "Wang Da couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat. What is this Nima called market research, it is clearly preparing to serve people's nests in a pot. The 17 Taoist brothers who are called "customers" by Mr. Wen are really pitiful, and this is the disaster that fell from the sky.
