Chapter 1256 Towards genetically modified food!

"It is now eight-thirty in the morning, and the first test begins now."

Jenny turned to the tape recorder and started recording.

Not far from her, there was a black substance.

It looks like a ball of plasticine, and there doesn't seem to be anything strange about it.

"OK."

Jenny looked at her watch, and when the time reached 8:30 on time, she gave the order.

"Power on now."

The researcher turned the knob nearby and turned on the system.

"Buzzing..."

There was a high-frequency buzzing sound inside.

These organizations soon began to change.

The originally rough surface began to condense at this time, and what was originally a ball of mud now began to turn into a spherical shape.

When the power is turned off, this change stops.

"Why is it still spherical?"

Jenny frowned.

According to the implemented settings, this should turn into a tight-fitting armor, but so far, the result has been a failure.

"Forget it, let's clean up the experimental table now. In ten minutes, we will start the second plan!"

The experimenters quickly went over to open the machine inside and took out the black sphere. After that, they took out a jar and poured out the contents.

...the same black mud.

But taking a closer look, the texture this time seems to be a little different from the last time. This time it looks more like mud, and it feels different from the plasticine last time.

This is mainly due to the different material composition inside.

"It is now 8:44. The first test ended in failure, and the result is still a sphere... Today's second test will start in one minute."

The minute is up quickly.

The experiment then began again.

The machine started again, and then the mud inside began to change.

This time, the mud seemed to come together, and Jenny was a little excited.

According to her deduction, the result should be correct. But so far, there is still no progress in the research on liquid-solid changeable weapons, which undoubtedly makes her very annoyed.

But now it is finally successful. This makes Jenny quite happy...

But despite being yelled at, Jenny still frowned.

In the end, the mud seemed to be back to its original state...

"Failed again?"

Why is this happening again?!

Jenny grabbed her hair.

For several days in a row, my experiments were failing. Is there anything more unpleasant than this?

"Well, forget it, let's prepare for the next experiment."

Could it be that some part of the experiment went wrong?

Jenny thought so.

"Dr. White. Your phone number."

At this time, assistant William took the phone over.

"oh."

Jenny took the phone.

"Jenny? It's me. I want to ask about genetics."

Opposite is Catherine.

"Genes? Well, although this is not my main area of ​​expertise, I can still answer your questions if you ask a little bit."

Jenny also seemed to want to downplay the scene she saw to Catherine before.

The activated genes eventually caused extraordinary changes...

"Okay then." Catherine probably understood this, so she asked: "What I want to ask is, can we genetically modify plants? Let's use your design."

"Plants? GMOs? What are you thinking about? Kate"?

Jenny is a little strange.

Does transgenic plants have anything to do with your own research?

In Jenny's opinion, instead of discussing using plants for transgenics, it is better to discuss what went wrong in the current experiment and what kind of design is needed for the next experiment...

"Yes, I want to use it on food crops, such as corn, soybeans, etc."

"Genetically modified food? Wait, Kate, are you going to make genetically modified food?"

Only then did Jenny realize what Catherine was planning to do.

Genetically modified food...oh, my God, this is definitely a big deal!

If Catherine really wants to do research in this area...that would be really good.

"Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Enthusiasm flashed in Jenny's eyes.

Although modifying the human body is quite taboo, but modifying food...maybe it would be quite interesting, right?

"Of course it's because I want to get into agriculture. Do I need to ask?"

Catherine answered without hesitation.

"Hmm... get into agriculture?"

Catherine has a food laboratory, which she is familiar with, and Catherine's food is a special product of the school district.

However, in the past, Catherine strictly limited the supply of special food, so in normal times, such products would not react to the agricultural giant at all.

"Yeah, because I need a better way to do this, I need a better way, a better product."

Well, that's right, Catherine is planning to follow Monsanto's path.

Monsanto is an agricultural company.

This agricultural company was one of the top ten most influential companies in 2008 selected by the US "Business Week". It also occupies 90% of the global genetically modified seed market. China relies on imports for 80% of its soybeans every year, but among all imported soybeans

, more than 90% are genetically modified soybeans grown using Monsanto’s technology.

But now Monsanto is not an agricultural company. Monsanto was founded in 1901. It initially started by producing artificial sweeteners (saccharin). Before World War I, Monsanto entered the pharmaceutical field to produce aspirin drugs, and later relied on

The sale of petrochemicals and biological weapons broke out, and eventually it became a major tycoon in chemical pollution industries such as environmentally damaging pesticides and even uranium refining for atomic bombs.

The biological weapon "Agent Orange" used by the US military during the Vietnam War was Monsanto's main product at the time. The US military used this "Agent Orange" to burn the dense forests used by Vietnamese guerrillas to hide into bare hillsides.

"Agent Orange" contains highly toxic "dioxin". "Dioxin" is known as the poison of the century. Its toxicity is 900 times that of arsenic. 80 grams can kill 800,000 people and may induce cancer, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, etc.

The International Center for Research on Cancer has classified it as a first-level human carcinogen for a series of diseases, reproductive system disorders and developmental disorders. During the Vietnam War, the 60 million liters of defoliant "Agent Orange" sprayed by the United States in Vietnam contained 336 kilograms of dioxins.

Britain.

Americans are a scourge in Vietnam. There is no doubt about it.

Until the 21st century, these highly toxic substances still exist in Vietnam’s local soil, air and water sources, affecting generations of Vietnamese people.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are also an important product of Monsanto, which is also a world-class scourge.

PCBs have been found in the bodies of everyone from polar bears to Antarctic penguins. They have been found in the blood, organs and muscles of people from the United States to the Middle East. One factory that produces PCBs is located in Anniston, Alabama.

The levels of PCBs in the blood of residents are hundreds of times higher than the legal limit. The truth about highly toxic PCB contamination has been deliberately covered up by Monsanto for 40 years.

Monsanto, this is definitely a world-class scourge.

But in the future, the other party will be regarded as a pure and good agricultural company, and will be praised by many people... This is a problem.

Although there is no public opinion on whether genetic modification is harmful, but when an unscrupulous company does this, what else can you expect?

Catherine felt that instead of letting the other party come over, it would be better to strike first.

According to the information obtained by Catherine, Monsanto has already begun research in the food industry, and the other party has already begun to make progress in biological aspects. It seems better to launch products one step ahead of schedule.

Jenny, on her side, just ordered the people below to continue researching, and then Jenny went to Catherine to start researching.

"In other words, you need a genetically modified food?"

Jenny asked curiously.

"Yes, I am going to make genetically modified food a high-end product."

Catherine answered with a smile.

"I thought you were planning to use genetically modified genes to take over American agriculture."

According to Catherine's voice heard on the phone, Jenny really thought so.

But at this time, Catherine actually put forward another opinion... This must be said to be a surprising thing.

"Yes, we start from the high end to make people envious and jealous of GMOs, and then we slowly lower the price and they will accept it."

"Huh...? Why bother? Wouldn't it be better if we use a low-price strategy?"

Jenny thinks that if the price is lowered, this matter will be solved more comprehensively, right?

"No. That will only make people disapprove of our products, so I am going to use this method..."

How to say...

Catherine's move was quite despicable.

In doing so, Catherine is actually taking advantage of human nature.

If GMOs were positioned as low-end from the beginning, people would probably start discussing the disadvantages and disadvantages of GMOs.

But if the GMO video is positioned as high-end and ultra-high-end from the beginning, then people will start to discuss the advantages of GMO.

Did you see this? This is a genetically modified food supermarket for the rich and powerful!

Did you see that? The lady bought beef for $5,000 a pound!

See? A bowl of rice. Each grain is a dollar!

This is GMO!

Ordinary people, can you afford it?

In ten or twenty years, when genetically modified products suddenly become mid-range products, the middle class and some people who pay attention to "health" will pay attention to genetically modified products.

This is just like Apple in China, using Shenguo 5. You see, how stylish and respectable this is!

It must be said that this is a vicious strategy.

But I have to say that this strategy...may be very effective.

Of course, there's another problem... Monsanto.

Third update! Two more updates to come!
