Rebirth of the Evil Life

Lin Feng's rage stunned Mao Zi and Guizi. The two of them don't know what's going on. Is there any problem with this? Is there anything wrong with this genetic modification?

"Don't you know about genetic modification?" Lin Feng asked.

The two nodded. They are naturally clear about GMOs. I don't know, and it's impossible for them to buy it.

Transgenic technology is a technology that transfers gene fragments into specific organisms and ultimately obtains individuals with specific genetic traits. No matter how far the introduced gene comes from a species on the evolutionary tree, it can still receive and translate the corresponding gene, because all organisms share a translation code table, and cells know how to translate it. Even the most distantly related species, such as humans and bacteria, share many genes that have remained unchanged over billions of years of evolution. Where the genes come from is not the key, their function is what they do. Therefore, plants transferred into animal genes will not have animal properties.

Initially, transgenic technology was developed by Polish geneticist Szybarski in 1974, who called gene recombination technology a concept of synthetic biology. In 1978, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Nathans, Abel and Smith who discovered DNA restriction enzymes. At that time, Szibalski wrote in the journal: Restriction enzymes will lead us into a new era of synthetic biology. Transgenic technology, including the cloning of foreign genes, expression vectors, receptor cells, and transgenic pathways, etc. The artificial synthesis technology of foreign genes and the artificial design and development of gene regulatory networks have led to the transformation of transgenic technology in the 21st century towards transgenic system organisms. In 2000, the concept of synthetic biology was re-proposed internationally and defined as genetic engineering and transgenic technology based on the principles of systems biology.

According to the method, transgene can be divided into artificial transgene and natural transgene. According to the purpose, it can be divided into plant transgene technology, animal transgene technology and microbial gene recombination technology. As for genetically modified crops. That is an authentic artificial genetically modified product. That is, exotic species that do not exist in nature. In science fiction movies. There are usually scenes of alien beings invading the earth.

Genetically modified crops are pretty much the same. It's just that it's not that harmful and not that fast. The destruction of nature by genetically modified crops is very slow. This slow time will take ten, even twenty or thirty years to be noticed. And twenty years later, thirty years later, how harmful it will be. This is unknown. Because it only took the past two years for genetically modified technology to mature from its birth to its launch on the market. How harmful it is, who knows!

As for Guizi and Maozi, what they have in their hands is a copy. In 1996, a research team headed by researcher Huang Danian from the China Rice Research Institute developed herbicide-resistant transgenic hybrid rice for the first time in the world, providing a solution to the long-standing problem of purity in hybrid rice seed production. reports on new methods. This achievement was ranked first among the "Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances in China in 1997" selected by 500 academicians of China's two academies.

The two of them had such a report in their hands, as well as some related reports from abroad. Their introductions all say that this genetically modified technology can greatly increase crop yields. And can effectively resist various pesticides,

natural disaster. After the two saw the recognition of so many Chinese agricultural experts. That’s why I got such seeds. And facts have indeed proved that its yield is indeed very high, and it is also more resilient when encountering disaster weather. No, the yield of the surrounding farmland where traditional seeds are planted has been reduced by at least half due to the severe weather. This shows that these genetically modified crops are very good.

Since it's fine, why is Lin Feng so angry? Or did they buy the wrong brand? Is it a brand from a company that is rival to Lin Feng? In this regard, they have also investigated that Monsanto Company is a multinational agricultural biotechnology company. Its flagship product is the world-renowned glyphosate herbicide. The company is also currently a leading producer of genetically modified seeds, accounting for 70%–100% of the market share of seeds for a variety of crops. Headquartered in Claywalk, Missouri, USA.

After careful investigation, the two of them found that there should be no conflict between Monsanto and Lin Feng. Originally, this was about developing seeds. Although Lin Feng's industrial chain involved a wide range of areas, it had not yet touched upon the field of seeds. So, they stocked it. This should be no problem, why did Lin Feng suddenly become so angry? This made them really unable to accept it for a while.

"Don't you know that this genetically modified thing is harmful?" Lin Feng saw that the two of them seemed to be really unaware, and the anger in his heart gradually extinguished and he calmed down.

"Harmful? This report says it's not harmful?" The two of them looked confused and a little unbelievable. But they read the report and said it was nothing. And it’s not like there are any scientific research institutes supporting this project. Since they supported it and the state did not raise any objections to the ban, they naturally bought it. Isn't this always the case?

Lin Feng sighed.

"No problem? This is a genetically modified gene. We haven't figured out this gene yet, and here comes another genetically modified gene. And anything involving genes cannot be careless. You know, this gene is directly related to human inheritance. For example, no one's genes are the same, but the genes of people from the same family will be extremely similar, otherwise there would be no DNA test," Lin Feng said slowly, "There is an old saying in China. , it’s called a twisted melon, but genetically modified is simply a twisted melon!”

Twisted melon! Is it that exaggerated? Maozi and Guizi looked at the reports from the scientific research institute in their hands and couldn't believe it. Although this can be considered a twisted melon, in their opinion, it should be more of a grafting technique. This grafting is definitely not harmful.

When Lin Feng saw the appearance of the two of them, he knew that they definitely didn't believe it. But Lin Feng doesn't blame them for this. After all, this thing, to be honest, there is no definite number yet. Whether it was good or bad, there was no accurate way to say it in the era when Lin Feng was reborn. However, in Lin Feng's time, it could be grown in developed Western countries, but ordinary people would definitely not eat it. In some European countries, it was not allowed to import or even grow it.

In Lin Feng's time, these genetically modified plants were grown in third world countries. For example, countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and China. If you think about it this way, you can easily imagine the fishiness involved. As for Monsanto, the company that produces this genetically modified technology, Lin Feng has no impression of it. I just felt that this company was very low-key at the time, and basically most people had never heard of its name. But come to think of it, a company that is engaged in genetically modified technology, such a deceptive company, naturally cannot keep a high profile. The way to make money is to keep a low profile. After all, it’s a scam!

"Maybe you don't believe it, but we will never use this technology." Lin Feng had no evidence to prove this for a while, so he could only use force. "All the food and crops we produce, as long as it involves We don’t use any genetically modified ones.”

Need not! Both Maozi and Guizi exclaimed. Isn’t that right? We don’t need this? This is several hundred acres, and they later purchased some fields and planned to hire local farmers to help them plant and pay them wages. If you suddenly say no, the loss will be too great. All of a sudden, tens of millions were thrown away!

"Yes, no! Genetically modified things are definitely harmful. It's just that I don't have any evidence to support it now, but I know that Westerners never eat genetically modified foods. They Westerners don't eat genetically modified foods. Why do we Chinese eat them? Do we Are Chinese people cheaper?" Lin Feng asked.

Guizi and Maozi looked at each other, is it really that serious?

"Believe me, I will never lie to you. Shovel all these grains for me, and then replace them with domestic seeds. They must be good seeds, and do not mix any technological seeds. The original and original seeds, the better!" Lin Feng said seriously, "Speaking of this, it suddenly reminded me of an experience I had last time in Germany. Last time I visited Carl Zeiss in Germany, guess what the apples I saw on their company's lunch plate looked like. ?”

apple? Maozi picked up a big red apple on the side.

"No, this kind of apple cannot be seen in Germany. The apples you can see in Germany are all of the kind, well, our cheapest local apples. They look very ugly, like crooked melons and cracked dates. The taste is even more sour!" Lin Feng said, "I think you must be surprised, but this is the fact. There are apples like this on the tables of all companies in Germany. Why is this not because the Germans are mean? It’s because they believe that although this kind of original food is not delicious, it is the healthiest.”

healthy! Indeed, for people, what they eat is not important, what is important is health. If you look beautiful and taste good, but eating it is harmful to your body and not healthy, then do you still eat it?

"Well, we know. Since you told us so, we will do it. Although we are not sure that this genetic modification is definitely harmful, but as you said, it is at least not as healthy as the original seeds. This is for sure. Then we Just plant the most original crops! Get rid of them all!" Maozi decided.

"But what to do with the shoveled grain? Feed it to the pigs?" the Japanese asked.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Burn them directly. Burn all the products that destroy nature in this way. They don't belong to nature, so let them go back to where they came from. Don't let them destroy nature!" Lin Feng said.

Burn it all! Guizi and Maozi exclaimed again.

Now, I'm afraid those reporters are busy again!
