As soon as Zhao came back, he put this matter aside. After all, this matter was not something he could control. He only needed to do the part he could do, and let others worry about the rest.
The time came on April 1st, and Zhao Yi could finally have a good rest at home during this period. When he had enough rest and wanted to go out for a walk, he remembered that he needed to go to the Qingnong Biological Laboratory to see their plant cultivation in person. .
Since handing over all the auxin information to Qingnong Biological Laboratory and Fluctuating Light Environmental Management Company years ago, he has no longer cared about these matters, and he doesn't know how they are doing there.
Zhao Yi has been waiting for too long for their high-quality fruit varieties to come out. As long as these new fruit varieties are not on the market for a day, the Baiwei fruit wine he envisioned will not be on the market for a day.
If it was better in normal times, now he is short of money. If he wants to speed up the pace of urbanization, he must invest more funds, so he has great expectations for Baiwei fruit wine.
The scale of the global alcoholic beverage market is still very large. Even if Baiwei fruit wine occupies the mid-to-high-end market, the market size is still very large, not to mention that Baiwei fruit wine can cover everything from low-end to high-end.
If it was not much different from other alcoholic beverages, even Zhao Yi would not be confident that he would be able to make huge profits in this industry.
Because generally speaking, wine is not only a matter of quality and taste, but also the blessing of the brand. If you are not a professional, it is difficult to carefully distinguish the differences between high-end wine and ordinary wine.
This is why Baiwei Food Company now produces various types of single-product wines. The quality is not inferior to the high-end wines mentioned in the West, but they cannot be sold at their prices.
Therefore, if you want to open the international wine market, you must rely on Baiwei fruit wine. However, if you want to mass-produce Baiwei fruit wine, you must shape their value concept.
It is impossible to use inferior fruits to brew now, and wait until new fruit varieties are available to brew Baiwei fruit wine with better taste. In that case, there will be no way to tell the story to the outside world.
If we had publicized from the beginning that this supreme fruit wine was created using the best fruits of all kinds, coupled with its truly unparalleled taste, this story would be very easy to tell.
Even if someone uses other methods to brew fruit wine with a similar taste to this one in the future, it cannot be compared with the story told by Baiwei Fruit Wine. This is the power of the brand.
What he wants is to create the world's most high-end fruit wine brand, so he must make all the elements the best, conduct unified publicity to the outside world, and form a high-end brand image, so that more people can pay for it.
If domestic consumption is still dominated by liquor, the current market size is not large. If we want to expand the market size of fruit wine, it will take a long time to cultivate.
However, in Western countries, the consumption culture of fruit wine is very popular. At the same time, they also have a very large number of wealthy people, which results in a huge market size.
If Baiwei Food Company's Baiwei fruit wine is really launched on a large scale, with the characteristics of this fruit wine covering low, medium and high-end, it will be able to catch up with all the fruit wine brands in the West.
Moreover, Baiwei fruit wine also has a very good feature, that is, no matter how complex the mixed flavors are, the production process is the same, which means that their production costs have not increased much, but their prices are very different.
This time Zhao Yi plans to go out for a walk to see how the future profitable industries he has arranged are going. This is very important for his ongoing plan.
Zhao Yi called the driver and secretary, and then went out directly and rushed to the Qingnong Biological Laboratory. Although he had the title of a researcher, he had not been here for a long time.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, Wang Ergou was already waiting at the door. He did this not because he wanted to flatter the leader like other people in charge, but because he wanted to get some money from Zhao Yi. Technology comes out.
Just like the auxin that Zhao Yi gave him last time, it gave Wang Ergou a big shock. Although Qingnong Biological Laboratory can also produce some hormones that promote plant growth, they all have side effects. .
However, the auxin that Zhao Yi gave them had no obvious side effects and was all beneficial to the growth of plants. Even if there was some residue in the end, it only needed to be stopped for about half a month to completely remove it. .
As soon as Zhao got out of the car, Wang Ergou took a few steps forward and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhao finally remembered us. I'm so touched."
Hearing Wang Ergou's words, Zhao Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why do I finally think of you? You still need a long time to digest and absorb the genetic technology I gave you before.
And haven’t we just given you plant growth hormone? This has provided a huge boost to your plant cultivation and can greatly shorten your research and development cycle. "
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, Wang Ergou touched his forehead in embarrassment and said with a smile: "What Mr. Zhao taught me is that genetic technology is too huge and complicated. How can it be so simple to fully understand it?" .
How about Mr. Zhao come over this time and give a class to our hard-nosed R&D personnel, then maybe they will be enlightened and the research progress will be accelerated a lot. "
Hearing his behavior of kicking his nose and face, Zhao Yi directly chose to ignore it and said: "Don't think about it, how can I have time to do this for you? Can I develop a superman after I give you a lesson
This time I came here to see how your fruit plants are being cultivated. Baiwei Food Company has been waiting for these results from you for a long time, and the large-scale planting of these fruit varieties also involves some of my plans, which is very important. "
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, Wang Ergou stopped talking shamelessly about what was there and what was not there, and said directly: "Mr. Zhao, you came at the right time. Our first batch of fruits has just been harvested. Go over and take a look at the situation. "
"Oh~~, so I came at the right time?" Zhao Yi asked.
"That's not what it is. Only some fruit varieties with short growth cycles are like this. Those with long growth cycles have to wait for a while, otherwise I would have informed you early." Wang Ergou said.
"Okay, let's just go there together." As soon as Zhao finished speaking, he directly dragged Wang Ergou to his car and drove over to the plant breeding base of Qingnong Biological Laboratory.
When you come here, you will see a large and tall factory building. Although it looks like an industrial park on the outside, plant cultivation is actually carried out inside.
This is both their experimental base and their seed cultivation base. However, most of the products are currently in the experimental stage, and the seed cultivation stage still needs to wait until the end of the experimental stage.
So although the construction here is very large, many places are actually still empty. The reason why it was built so early was mainly because we needed an experimental base at the beginning, so we just built it together. Anyway, all the construction here will be done in the near future.
Take the fruit varieties they are currently experimenting with as an example. Once the experimental phase is over, large-scale seed breeding work will begin immediately, and a large number of seeds will need to be produced as soon as possible.
The seed production work cannot be carried out slowly. Not to mention the profits lost by Qingnong Biological Laboratory, even the boss is already eager to get through it and cannot be so dilly-dallying.
After parking the car, a group of people, led by Wang Ergou, arrived at their fruit variety breeding base. This factory covers an area of about 10,000 square meters. It is divided into several blocks, and each block is planted. The same fruit tree.
Although this farm shed looks similar to the vegetable farm shed of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, in fact, the technical content of the two is very different.
Although the farm sheds of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can also adjust to changes in temperature, sunlight, etc., the range of adjustment is not that large and basically remains relatively peaceful.
The farm shed here can truly simulate the changes of the four seasons throughout the year, which is very important for plant research and experiments, especially for plant cultivation under extreme weather.
Fortunately, the fruit varieties required by Baiwei Food Company are relatively normal and do not need to be cultivated in extreme environments. Otherwise, they would not be placed in a 10,000-square-meter farm shed. That would be too wasteful.
The types of fruits in this farm shed basically have similar seasonal attributes. If the seasonal difference is too big, they cannot be cultivated in the same farm shed.
There are quite a variety of fruits in this farm shed, such as star fruit, guava, citrus, mango, lychee, etc. Zhao Yi even saw a mulberry tree with purple-black mulberries already hanging on it.
Other fruits may not be available everywhere, but mulberries are very easy to see in rural areas. He remembers that when he was a child, when he was in elementary school, he always liked to sneak to nearby villages to pick mulberries from other people's homes.
Fortunately, mulberries are not a precious fruit, and no one has much objection to others picking them. Many people like to plant such a tree by the water, mainly for Feng Shui reasons.
Zhao Yi picked some mulberries from the mulberry tree. Without washing them, he just stuffed them into his mouth and tasted them carefully. The taste was indeed much better than what he ate when he was a child.
Moreover, this kind of mulberry was not only less grainy than the ones he had eaten before, but also had no fluff on it. More importantly, the height of this mulberry tree was not high, which was very beneficial for future picking.
However, looking around, all the fruit trees in this farm shed are not very high, and the tallest one is only twice as tall as Zhao Yi. There is no need to climb trees to pick, and you only need to use some tools, making picking very convenient.
It can be seen that Qingnong Biological Laboratory also took these things into consideration when cultivating new varieties to facilitate future large-scale production needs, reduce a lot of labor costs, and reduce the risk of the picking process.
The reason why Wang Ergou brought Zhao Yi to this farm shed was because all the fruit trees in the farm shed were bearing fruit, which allowed Zhao Yi to see the fruit bearing situation more intuitively.
"Are there any restrictions on second-generation reproduction of these varieties of fruit trees?" Zhao Yi asked.
"We have implemented these restrictions. If there are no restrictions, then the animals we have worked so hard to cultivate will be used as wedding dresses for others." Wang Ergou said.
After listening to his words, Zhao nodded. It was indeed as he said. If reproduction was not restricted, others would only need to steal some seeds to steal the fruits of their labor.
Moreover, this batch of fruits will also be an important raw material for the production of Baiwei fruit wine in the future. If stolen by others, it will not become unique and the publicity effect will be greatly reduced.
After carefully looking inside this farm shed, Wang Ergou took Zhao Yi to visit other farm sheds one after another. Due to the short time, most of the experimental fruit varieties in the farm sheds had not yet begun to bear fruit. But the growth is very gratifying.
According to Wang Ergou's report, within this year, all the fruit varieties they need to experiment with will begin to bear fruit when auxin is used.
After the results come out, we will conduct relevant tests. Once the requirements are met, we can promote them on a large scale. In other words, starting next year, these fruit varieties will be available for Baiwei Food Company to contact farmers for planting.
However, despite saying this, these fruit varieties are genetically modified after all, so it will actually take a long time to observe the subsequent effects. Obviously Wang Ergou is too optimistic about these things.
So Zhao Yi threw the issue of genetic contamination to him and asked him how to consider this issue. After all, they needed completely harmless varieties, otherwise if something happened in the future, they would be in big trouble.
"We don't have a short-term solution to this. Mr. Zhao, do you have any good ideas?" Wang Ergou honestly admitted that their abilities were limited, and then asked Zhao Yi for any solutions.
"Actually, the development of genes can be simulated through computer software. Let's do this. After you go back, give me a copy of these experimental data. After I go back, I will help you write a gene evolution analysis software.
This will not only help you conduct relevant project pre-research, but also help you predict the subsequent impact of modified genes. " Zhao Yi said.
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Wang Ergou was very surprised. Can these things be realized through software? At least he had never heard of it being done like this before.
What Zhao Yi said was not empty talk. With his profound knowledge of genetics and superb software design capabilities, it was not difficult to write such a system.
However, even if this system software comes out, it cannot guarantee 100% safety, but it can still be done to reduce the accident rate to an extremely low level, and obvious problems can be detected in advance.
However, the reason why he wanted all the experimental data and information was mainly because he was going to conduct the experiment in the Zhouling space, so that everything would be foolproof.
Then Zhao Yi and the others left the experimental base and returned to the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, packing up all the information and taking it back to their homes.
Then he came to the Zhouling Space and began to evolve fruit varieties based on these data. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, some performed very well, while others had some problems.
After he obtained the data, he did not immediately tell Wang Ergou the results. Instead, he began to write an intelligent genetic analysis and evolution system with the help of rudimentary artificial intelligence.
Whether this work can be written by others is another question, but the workload involved is astonishing, no less than a huge set of industrial software.
But with Zhao Yi's algorithm design and the automatic programming of artificial intelligence, it took Zhao Yi one day to complete this work.
Then he imported the data he had previously obtained from the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, and then let the intelligent analysis system automatically simulate evolution on its own.
During this period, Zhao Yi also asked Polaris Company to build an intelligent supercomputer. Although this system is not a real artificial intelligence program system, if you want to achieve the desired effect, an intelligent supercomputer is the best choice.
As for the location of the supercomputer, it is no longer in the computer room of Polaris Company, but in the data center of Xinghan Technology Company.
In order to build a cloud computing center there, all the facilities are very complete. In the future, Zhao Yi will choose to place non-critical supercomputers there.
After more than three days of different calculations, the time was simulated and calculated to more than 10,000 years. Although this time is not a big deal for a species, it can also have a certain reference value.
Moreover, Zhao Yi does not really want to rely on these data to make judgments, but wants to know the accuracy of the intelligent analysis system he wrote.
After comparison, it was found that there was not much error between the 10,000-year simulation calculation data and the data he obtained from the Zhouling space. In particular, the accuracy of the short-term calculation results was higher. The longer the time, the lower the accuracy.
After understanding this situation, Zhao Yi once again modified and optimized the algorithm, and then performed the simulation calculation again. It was not considered a success until it was 100% consistent with the data he obtained from the Zhouling Space within ten thousand years.
Only when absolute reliability is achieved within this time scale can it be considered useful. Otherwise, if the time continues to extend, the errors will become larger and larger, which means that the probability of accidents in the future will also become larger and larger.
After completing this intelligent gene evolution analysis system, Zhao Yi directly called Wang Ergou and asked him to come over and hand him the client of this software. As for the server, he put it directly on the supercomputer. Just run it.
After Wang Ergou came over, he directly demonstrated to him how to use this system. While watching Zhao Yi's demonstration, Wang Ergou's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"It's so amazing. Mr. Zhao, have you considered this issue a long time ago?" Wang Ergou said.
The analysis capabilities of this system are so powerful. If he hadn't started writing it a long time ago, in his opinion, it would have been impossible to come up with such a mature product in such a short period of time.
The real situation will definitely not be told to Wang Ergou. Zhao Yi can only nodded and agreed with his statement.
After handing the client software to Wang Ergou, he gave him the data he tested and told him that he was going to start large-scale cultivation work, so that early next year, Baiwei Food Company could arrange for farmers to plant large areas. .
As for the production of auxin, it was no longer the responsibility of Qinnong Biological Laboratory, but the responsibility of Lucky Light Environmental Management Company. So then, he made another call to the environmental management company and asked them to expand the production of auxin. production capacity.
At the same time, he also notified Baiwei Food Company and asked them to contact the Qingnong Biological Laboratory as soon as possible to make a planting plan for the next year.
Although it is a comprehensive promotion, the planting area in the first year will certainly not be particularly large. There will not be too many seedlings cultivated by the Qingnong Biological Laboratory this year to provide a full supply.
At the same time, it is not suitable for large-scale planting in the first year. It is necessary to plant in various places to obtain data samples. Coupled with the help of auxin, the data samples that Qingnong Biological Laboratory can obtain in the first year are very complete.
The outbreak will occur in the second year. At that time, domestic farmers who cooperate with Baiwei Food Company will basically plant seedlings of this new variety. With the use of auxin, they can produce something in the first year.
This can not only allow farmers to obtain profits as soon as possible, but also allow Baiwei Food Company to complete the goals set by Zhao Yi in the shortest time. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
By that time, leaving aside the other businesses of Baiwei Food Company, at least their alcohol business will have achieved great development and will completely establish their status as a domestic alcohol giant. At the same time, they will also conquer the world's alcohol consumption market. (End of chapter)
