.9oo12[o]423 Chapter 897 Gene Problems

Qi's respect for Qian Fan Wubing, Qi Manhua and others is indeed the old heart of the sixth person.

Genetically modified technology is still a relatively new topic in China. In fact, China is basically poor and in this regard. There are few biotechnology experts in China and even less experts in genetically modified technology. Although domestic media are currently mentioning genetically modified technology or genetically modified foods from time to time, most of the time they are heard about, citing the statements and information of foreigners. My own research on this area is indeed relatively blank.

Fan Wubing's Fan Investment Group was able to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in this field with the power of a private company. In addition to saying that Fan Wubing is rich and powerful, he can only say that he has a sense of responsibility.

I am afraid that everyone wants to make Chinese people eat food that they can rest assured, but there are only a few people who are capable of doing this. Even fewer people who are capable of doing it and are willing to spend money on doing this.

Therefore, Zhang Qi cannot help but admire Fan Wubing and others. They do have a very strong sense of social responsibility.

"I admit this. Especially Shen Manhua Xiaoxu, the efforts he put in this regard are very huge." Fan Wubing fully affirmed this. "The technicians and experts she led have built this research center from scratch, and have achieved many very advanced technical achievements in just three years, which I had unexpectedly expected at the beginning."

Fan Wubing said this without saying anything casually. Although he had considered that he should do a good job in research on genetically modified crops while growing green natural foods on a large scale, he did not put any effort into this regard because he could not take care of it too much, but Shen Manhua mentioned that he did it.

Shen Manhua has made very careful arrangements in all aspects such as the source of personnel and research projects. The research building has also been tested locally for small initial results that have been put into use within a short period of time. It is being tracked and tested for its toxicity, using mice and some large animals to determine how much impact the genetically modified foods have on animals?

However, this matter is a long-term detection process. If there are no ten or even twenty years, I am afraid that I will not be able to draw a very trustworthy conclusion. Even if a conclusion is drawn within a few decades, it may not be correct and credible, because the impact of genetic changes on the entire biological chain is long-term. This time may be out of reach in ordinary people, but it may also have a huge impact on the entire human population, which may change the living state of the entire human being.

Although there is no way to know whether survival or destruction is now, once genetically modified food enters social life, it is equivalent to Pandora's box being opened, and no one can tell what it is released.

Although Fan Wubing can talk to Zhang Qi, in fact, he is not very clear about the construction of the Northeast planting base. The biggest concern about this research center is that he has granted Shen Manhua a special meal fee of 500 million yuan. He doesn't know anything else, and even this research center building is the first time he has seen it. After Shen Manhua brought them to the General Control Center, he can selectively see the work in each laboratory from the screen of the monitor. He looked at more than a dozen laboratories in a row, and everyone was busy. Rows of test tubes store various extracts, seeds grown in the soilless cultivation technology used in some laboratories, and ray lamps used to simulate the action of sunlight, etc., all of which indicate that the work here is in progress in an orderly manner.

"In fact, this is just a research institution. The real experimental area is closed. There are multiple isolation areas in one of our greenhouses, which are closely isolated and controlled in various research crops." Chen Manhua explained.

"Why should I be isolated? Is it harmful?" Fengqi asked curiously.

"It is hard to say what kind of thing will happen when genetic changes, so we have to be extra cautious. This part of the land is also under strict control to prevent gene spread from causing uncontrollable impact on other plant populations." A staff member of Chen Manhua answered on behalf of him.

Everyone visited the General Control Center, then went down to several of the laboratories to visit the field. Finally, they had some intuitive understanding of the work of the laboratory staff and listened to some introductions from the researchers about the United States Mengsandu Company. They couldn't help but sigh.

When it comes to genetically modified technology, it is impossible to avoid the Monsanto in the United States. In the field of modern agricultural biotechnology represented by genetically modified technology, only the Monsanto in the United States has created the status of a genetically modified empire.

Currently, the company's business scope includes global seed and genetic businesses, animal husbandry, plant protection products, etc.

To this day, in the global genetically modified crop planting industry, Monsanto accounts for more than 70% of the global seeds of various crops, with an annual turnover of over 10 billion US dollars, of which more than 60% of the sales revenue comes from plant seeds in the medium-sized plant. In addition, insect-resistant seeds are being used all over the world, and most of the seeds that are resistant to herbicides are also from Monsanto or authorized by it.

Monsanto invests more than two million US dollars a day in technology research, and its archenemy Greenpeace also admitted that no multinational company in the world can compete with Monsanto in agricultural genetically modified technology.

Although Monsanto has already promoted a series of products in China, such as the Deka series jade, corn, boll cotton, the Deka series Xiangri Tsai and Nova herbicides, Monsanto is accelerating its pace towards Chinese agriculture. Since China introduced the Monsanto GM anti-insect cotton in 1996, China's GM experts have not stopped cooperating and competing with it.

Since 1996, more than 90% of China's genetically modified insect-resistant cotton field is occupied by Monsanto. However, this situation was reversed by the Institute of GMO anti-insect cotton technology launched by Guo Sandui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in 1997. Chinese cotton farmers have begun to use domestic genetically modified cotton species in large quantities.

.

However, in other fields, the United States Mengsandu company still occupies an absolute advantage.

Although Greenpeace believes that the most benefit of growing genetically modified crops is not farmers, but scientists and biological companies, taking Monsanto, a giant of GM agriculture, as an example, the total planting area of ​​genetically modified crops in the world is Monsanto products. All crops on the market are patented. The number of crops means that farmers have to pay for seeds, and they cannot keep their own seeds, and they need to buy seeds from seed companies every year.

However, some people in China believe that although genetically modified seeds are much more expensive than conventional seeds, at least in China, farmers still benefit the most because they have greatly reduced pesticides and labor costs. Taking rice in the field experiments as an example, more than 60% of the plots where genetically modified rice are planted have not applied small pesticides, and nearly 90% of the genetically modified rice fields have not applied pesticides to treat borers.

After the farmers reduced their farm work, they could go to the city to work, which greatly increased their income.

Consumers can also gain some benefits from cheaper agricultural products, and the examples of cotton farmers seem to confirm what these people say. The price of a pound of genetically modified cotton seeds is ten times or even dozens of times smaller than that of conventional cotton seeds. After all, the cost of seeds is much less than the money spent on buying insecticides and artificial spraying. This is no wonder cotton farmers choose to grow genetically modified cotton.

"These things are really hard to explain for a while." After hearing these words, Zhang Qi felt quite impressed and didn't know where to believe what she said.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Actually, it's just a dispute over interests. Even if genetically modified food is harmless, it is impossible to give up our food power and let it take control of the Americans. This is very dangerous. What we need to do is mainly to revolve around these points.

"Does the government not see the harm in this regard?" Zhang Qi raised her doubts

.

In her opinion, since genetically modified foods have uncertain safety risks, the government should take this matter more carefully. How can we let foreign products enter the Chinese market casually? Once genetically modified foods or crops are harmful, the chain reaction will cause the entire China to fall into an ecological crisis and even face a catastrophe. The so-called genetically modified products are actually to create a new artificial creature through the recombination of genes between different organisms. Or through the recombination of genes between different organisms, the natural characteristics of the original organism are changed, making it a semi-artificial creature.

Since the existing biological chain is the result of the evolution of nature's millions of years, what consequences will this natural biological chain be brought to humanity once it is changed is completely unknown. It is a choice that does not know whether to go to heaven or hell, a choice that cannot turn back even if it makes mistakes. It is a choice that sends a nation on a path of no return, and a life and death choice that does not know whether it can wake up tomorrow morning.

Therefore, although genetically modified products have been used in agriculture for several years, there is still no country, even the extremely poor African poor countries, dare to use genetically modified products as national food and take risks with the lives and descendants of all citizens.

Minghe, the United States, which grows the most genetically modified products, also requires special targets to identify genetically modified products to prevent people who do not know the truth from eating genetically modified products by mistake.

In Western countries such as the United States, genetically modified products are tools used by agricultural capitalists and biological capitalists to make money. The main targets are the poor and are produced as food for the poor. Including those rich people engaged in research, production and sales of genetically modified products, as well as their children, refuse to eat genetically modified food.

Those experts and scholars who have taken the money from investors and do not eat genetically modified foods always say that panic about genetically modified products is a manifestation of ignorance, and genetically modified products do not have any major harm.

Although at present, the impact of genetically modified food on humans is indeed an unknown, promoting genetically modified foods according to the current commercialization model of the market economy will inevitably turn genetically modified foods into purely food for the poor, and turn genetically modified foods into a biological gap between the rich and the poor.

Once this hole is opened, all genetic technology will be applied to the rich and poor according to this model. Then, the application of genetic technology will become a tool for class recording and class oppression just like the original application of machinery and equipment.

On the one hand, through genetically modified food, the vast majority of people are moving towards becoming more and more animals and plants. On the other hand, by enjoying natural food and modifying the gene map of self-arch, a few rich people are moving towards becoming more and more humane. The result is that men in the elite class are becoming more and more powerful, women are becoming more and more beautiful, and children are becoming smarter. Most ordinary people have become inferior races like pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. Based on genetic technology, the superior and inferior races of society are re-formatted, and all the evolution of human civilization for thousands of years is formatted to zero.

Simply put, a poor man still has the hope of becoming a rich man after hard work. No matter how hard a monkey struggles, he cannot become a rich man. This difference is determined by biological genes.

The terrifying consequences of the capitalist commercial application of genetic technology will bring to the entire human society, and even shocked some conscientious Western politicians. US President Clinton and British Prime Minister Major have tried to use the powerful national administrative power of the United States and Britain to prevent the application of genetic technology from applying for patents and prevent the recommendation and application of genetic products from causing irreparable human disasters, such as turning the gap between the rich and the poor into species differences. Let genetic technology become the common wealth of human society from the beginning.

However, since genetically modified products and genetic technologies have become the focus of American capital investment and have become an important means for the United States to control the world's wealth and the fate of mankind. This is a small, American president and a smaller British president, which is impossible to stop. Therefore, the motion of President Clinton and Major disappeared silently in the parliament of the two countries without even a loud noise.

However, due to some special reasons, China has become the first guinea pig to promote genetically modified products by international capital.

"The reason why this situation is happening is due to certain historical reasons. Fan Wubing touched his nose and replied with uncertainty, "Of course I have heard of it too. I'll just say it, you don't listen to it seriously."

"What the hell is it?" Not only Zhang Qi, but also Shen Manhua and others were also attracted by Fan Wubing.
