"Did you say when the food trial will start?" Shen Mingyi asked.
"The experimental field has been opened up, and the scale is not small. Although it is a trial planting, it should be regarded as real production." Li Qingshui talked about the farmland, although he showed a relaxed expression, but his tone did not completely let go, "I just don't know. This kind of plant can be grown for several seasons, and it remains to be investigated whether the plant will undergo directional evolution after being planted on a large scale."
"But generally speaking, this is considered excellent news. You can spread the 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, I guess If you don't tell me, in a few hours, someone from the institute will notify you of the news. After all, stabilizing the morale of the army is the top priority."
"That's right, if everyone has food, there won't be any big problems." Shen Ming smiled, "Then I'll leave first. It's also a good thing to let my comrades know the news in advance."
"Well, let's go." Li Qingshui nodded and sat back in front of the computer.
As soon as Shen Ming left the room, closed the door, and walked away, the relaxed look on Li Qingshui's face was also swept away, and a serious expression was replaced.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Liu Chang knew something was wrong. "Is there a problem with the food?"
"Well, it's a very serious problem. It's said to be a new variety of crop, but it's actually a genetically modified monster." Li Qingshui looked at the computer and said in a heavy tone: "Introducing the artificially isolated gene into the genome of the crop, It also uses the ingredients of the red mist, which seems to produce crops with excellent yield and nutrition, but in fact, this is really playing with fire!"
"This is really a radical. He wants to accomplish everything overnight. With this kind of energy, it's better to find edible food earlier!" Li Qingshui said with an angry look on his face, "And that Zhao Zhuo It is really a bold idea to even propose to try to introduce the genes of monsters from outside into the human body!"
"Is there any harm in this modified food?" Liu Chang couldn't understand a series of scientific terms, he only cared about the most fundamental question - what would be the result of eating this modified food.
"I can't clearly say what the disadvantages are, but anything that doesn't follow the laws of nature has never had any benefits. This kind of disadvantage may not appear in a short time, but in the future, there will definitely be big things." Li Qing Shui said: "It's like, those monsters outside, although they have strange shapes, are the products of nature, the result of the independent evolution and change of genes. In principle, they are just ordinary creatures, no matter how strange they look, they are still the product of nature. You can't call it a monster!"
"And what Zhao Zhuo is going 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 creatures are used, but this kind of product that is free from nature will eventually be There will be irreparable consequences."
"Then what should we do?" It was the first time that Liu Chang heard Li Qingshui, who was always calm, say such "scaremongering" words.
"Nothing to do, I don't have the right to speak 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 keep silent and follow the previous recipe Eat." Li Qingshui looked at Liu Chang and said, "After the new type of food is planted and popularized to ordinary soldiers and citizens outside, there must be some vacancy for ordinary food. We will still use ordinary food when the time comes, other things , I’ll talk about it later.”
In Li Qingshui's words, there was a kind of helplessness in wanting to save the country but unable to bring it back to heaven.
"This is the only way to do it." Liu Chang nodded, "I will help you find new food seeds as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Li Qingshui rubbed his eyes and nodded, "I'll finish my basic courses soon, and I'll summarize it tomorrow, and I'll publish my theory on the new earth ecology the day after tomorrow, so I can get into high-level positions as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Liu Chang nodded, "You can continue to work on your work. I will try to exercise my physical fitness again in the past two days. I will talk about other things later."
After saying this, Liu Chang pulled Xiao Jing, walked out of the room, and walked towards the huge fitness room again.
And three days later, the experimental area really sent out a news storm that could shock Zhengzhou.
The news is that a new food variety in the experimental park has finally been developed! This new type of food named "Liangdou" has been officially tested successfully. This crop named by the senior researcher "Zhao Zhuo" has three advantages that are enough to shock the world: "short production cycle", "high yield per unit area" and "rich nutrients": short production cycle - in this foggy environment In the world, it only takes seven days for this kind of crop to produce finished fruit.
The output per unit area is high - the output per mu can produce 3000 kg of finished fruit, which is much higher than the previous kings of output per unit area - rice and corn.
And if the first two advantages of this new crop are just shocking, then the last advantage of "Liang Bean" - rich in nutrients, is enough to make people crazy.
According to "Zhao Zhuo", a senior researcher in the experimental park, the average person only needs to eat 300 grams of this new type of crop fruit a day, which is half a bowl of food, which is enough to meet all the nutritional needs of ordinary people for a day. It is rich in nutrition, far surpassing any food in the previous era, and it claims to be enough to solve the food crisis of all mankind—
"It's all fucking nonsense!" Li Qingshui slammed the newspaper down on the table as he looked at the citizen notification document in his hand.
At the same time, the door of his experimental office was opened, and Liu Chang led the little girl in.
"Oh, it's not bad here!" Liu Chang walked into Li Qingshui's laboratory, and said with a smile, "It's good to be promoted, and even have an independent office. How about 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 life strength has it reached?"
"It's 5.6, and it's approaching 6 soon."
"Well, it's best not to develop too much muscle mass, which will affect mobility."
"I know, I don't have too much protein to eat, and I can't build big muscles."
"That's good, by the way, what happened to the man with unstable vitality in the gym, is he dead?"
"No." The little girl said, "It's just that the breath of life is getting weaker and weaker. Now it has dropped below 4. It is estimated that in a few days, it will be worse than ordinary people."
"Well, I'll probably die by then." After Li Qingshui finished speaking, the door of his office was pushed open again with a crisp knock.
A smiling young man walked in.
"Haha, Brother Qingshui." The visitor had a friendly face, and when he walked in, he greeted everyone in the room, "Hey, Brother Qingshui's family is also here!"
"Well, they're all here. Brother Zhao Zhuo came to see me for something." Li Qingshui also greeted politely.
"Um, the beans on the test bench have been produced. I'm very happy. I brought a bowl here for Brother Qingshui to try." Zhao Zhuo smiled and walked to Li Qingshui's desk. He took out a glassware from his pocket and placed it on his desk.
"You're too polite." Li Qingshui smiled, "You solved the food crisis this time, and you really saved the lives of half of the people in Zhengzhou City!"
"Haha, I believe that even if I don't do such a small thing as food, other people can do it. It's nothing to brag about." Zhao Zhuo nodded humbly, "The "Earth's New Ecology" you published yesterday is really brilliant , both meteorological and biological systems are very precise. Especially the "Food Web Theory" is really to the point. A group of researchers in our group were all amazed yesterday. You The establishment of this theoretical system can be regarded as pointing out a direction for the advancement of our ecological science! This is the real science!"
"Haha, let's stop flattering each other." Li Qingshui put away the crystal clear beans and said, "You must be here for something today, right?"
"Well, it's easy to talk to smart people, I'll make a long story short." Zhao Zhuo still showed a kind smile, "I'm here to be a lobbyist under the order of the chief of staff, I hope Mr. Li can join our group... "
"Well, I'll think about it." Before the other party finished speaking, Li Qingshui nodded in agreement and interrupted him.
And this clear refusal made Zhao Zhuo's kind smile froze on his face.
"Uh, since brother Qingshui said to think about it, I'll ask again in three days." After a while, the corners of Zhao Zhuo's eyes drooped, "Oh, yes, I forgot to mention. The large amount of grain at the experimental field is just It will also be produced in three days, and our ordinary food reserves are just insufficient. So, after three days, except for one group, the food supply of the others will all be replaced by this new crop. And what does this mean, I think Brother Qingshui Know better than me."
"Are you threatening me?" Li Qingshui remained expressionless.
"I just hope you think about it seriously." After saying this, Zhao Zhuo turned around and left, closing the door behind him with a bang. "I'll come back in three days. I hope that Mr. Li will really think it through!"
"What an arrogant guy!" Liu Chang said, staring at Zhao Zhuo's leaving back.
"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. This is the way of radicals." Li Qingshui whispered softly: "It's just that we have to advance our food plan due to their influence."
"Okay, I'll go out to find food right now. I believe that with my current ability, even if I don't rely on food supply, it's not difficult to find food." 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 and few animals here, so it's not so easy to find food." Li Qingshui said: "And this time you go out, I hope you can find plants that can be planted, instead of eating them all at once. You have more important things to do in the future, and you can’t waste time on hunting all the time.”
