Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

1305 Collision

There are many food exchanges near the eastern farm, and many back-mountain workers are sitting on the street in twos and threes, waiting for the businessmen gathered at the gate of the 12th Agricultural Institute. Since the past few days, the work of many back-mountain workers has decreased.

At this time, several back mountain workers were discussing whether to lower the price and directly grab the business, and one of the tall ones shook his head.

"Aren't you just looking for trouble? Everyone hasn't done business these days. If you lower the price, how will the price go back up when normal food goes out of the warehouse?"

Many mountain-back workers can't bear it anymore, and want to lower the price of transportation to get business as soon as possible, but some back-mountain workers are still more rational. When they see some friends around them want to cut prices, they discourage them. Once the normal transportation in the market is destroyed In terms of price, the last unlucky one is the back mountain workers themselves.

"Everyone go back, the food is out of the warehouse today, please come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Many merchants who were waiting in front of the 12th Division of Agriculture started to make noises. Some merchants have not received food for many days. During this period of time, the food has been unconditionally supported by food distributed in the barrier area. Wholesalers have taken a large amount, and even large companies have reduced their food output.

Many individual traders who have managed to obtain grain wholesale licenses are now miserable. Some merchants run restaurants and food wholesalers, and many merchants have to take out the grain raw materials they store for use.

The food market has been moving very strangely in the past few days, and the food market at the bottom level is the same, it is not unimpeded to get food, the food market at the middle level has started to increase prices in recent days, and it will soon reach the law the highest price stipulated by law.

There are even many secret grain transactions, and the price is more than three times the normal market price.

Many merchants in the Management Office of Section 12 came out disappointed. After the gate was closed, many merchants began to discuss privately, wanting to buy some grain from those who still had storage capacity to maintain their operations.

The food seems to have suddenly decreased a lot overnight, which is the feeling of many people.

In a crop laboratory located on the fourth floor of the headquarters of Section 12, Gene sat quietly in front of a large row of experimental crops with translucent film ecosystems. Each crop had a label, some were already mature, and Some are still green shoots.

Next to it is a block of light and shadow screens, with a large amount of experimental data on it. Gene carefully looked at these analyzed and unanalyzed crop gene series.

"Even if you show me these, I can't give you an accurate conclusion, Xiaoye!"

As Gene said, Ye Chunwang nodded. Only he and his secretary had permission to enter this top-secret laboratory.

"I just want to ask for your opinion. After all, no one in the city knows more about genetic engineering than you."

Gene shook his head with a smile.

"I have almost forgotten that knowledge."

Ye Chunwang looked at Gene with contempt.

"Forget what a fart, can you work harder like the other six, your major is genetic engineering, the meat of Bright City, and the genetic synthesis and cultivation of crops, without you, it would be impossible to achieve."

"Is that so, isn't there still you?"

Gene smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke, Ye Chun hoped that the gas would not stop, and then Gene put away his smile.

"I have taught you everything I can teach you. Besides, the reason why I was interested in this aspect 200 years ago is because if you want to resurrect Ellie by relying on the genetic material on the asteroid, you have to have a Only strong thoughts can have strong action, I have done it, and now I have given you all this 80 years ago, if you ask me in turn, I can’t give you any answers or opinions.”

Ye Chunwang became a little annoyed, and Jin let out a chuckle, took a puff of cigarette and looked at it seriously.

"I'm just talking about small leaves. Among the new cold-resistant crops bred by AI5, my opinion is the hibernation mechanism."

"I see."

Ye Chunwang understood in an instant, and Gene nodded. He leaned over in surprise and sat beside Gene.

"Some gene series, I have seen in my previous research, are the hibernation mechanism in some animals. In the process of life evolution, in order to resist the harsh nature, especially in the case of food shortage in winter, many animals have found hibernation This method is used to meet the challenge of survival. When the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, this kind of rice will produce a layer of high-molecular polymer density coating on the outside, locking in the moisture and temperature inside, and the flow of nutrients will also change. If you grow slowly, your growth will also slow down, just like animals hibernate, and there are still 2381 gene series groups that have not been analyzed. Xiaoye, if you want to achieve a reliable and safe level that can control this winter wheat for human consumption, then you need to make an NDA structure The recombination experiment is ready, use the most primitive method and prepare at least 1000 samples."

Ye Chunwang looked at Jin with some doubts.

"This primitive method is very slow, and there is no way to experiment with samples."

Gene said after thinking for a long time.

"In a few days, you and I will go to Section 10. Some of the current new technologies can be tested, but they are not stable yet. You have relied too much on machines these past few years, Xiaoye."

Ye Chunwang glanced at Gene, and said angrily.

"How old am I? I'm almost 130 years old. Gene has limited energy, so I won't go. Let Larry do it. He is my successor. I have found a miracle in the recovery of the land." .”

Gene squinted at the smiling Ye Chunwang, he said.

"I don't plan to continue my research anymore. Recently, I feel more and more dull in my thinking. After all, people have to obey the old Jean. As long as I can see the land in the barrier area recover and the sun shine on the farmland in my lifetime It’s fine here, I still want to enjoy my old age.”

Gene smiled and nodded.

"After you retire, I'll often go to your house for drinks."

Ye Chunwang stared at Jin who was walking towards the door.

"Jin, what I said just now was not joking with you. Continue genetic research. With your talents, as long as you are willing to study seriously, you can benefit more people."

Gene shook his head, turning around.

"Sorry Xiaoye, compared to these studies, I prefer to wander around the city, maybe I can find someone who can lift the city, but when the city no longer needs 13 subjects, everyone When they are all bathed in the sun, I should continue to start researching. In the past few days, the Food Association, Apparel Association, and Film and Entertainment Association have bought a large amount of food, and are preparing to hit the bottom of the market. Blindly restricting food from warehouses is not the answer .”

Ye Chunwang nodded.

"I am going to interview food wholesalers in the near future. Section 9 is also actively preparing to minimize the impact on the market. Section 2 will send us news of possible future crises every day these days. Let's quickly come up with what works."

"Didn't you already have a method!"

Gene said with a serious face, Ye Chunwang nodded.

"There are nearly 5 people who have worked in agriculture for a long time. Human labor can't keep up with machinery, but if their labor is replaced by machinery, the 5 people who have worked for a long time will be pushed to the brink of eviction. And the last trace of mercy for those who have fallen to the bottom is gone."

Gene nodded. Since more than 30 years ago, the agricultural department has basically banned machinery. Instead, it uses manual harvesting. The efficiency is much slower than that of machinery. According to the calculations of the 2 departments, if fully invested in mechanized planting and harvesting output , the amount of food out of the warehouse will be 1.5 to 2 times larger than it is now.

The degree of refinement of the current robotic arm has long been comparable to that of human hands, and even more flexible than human hands.

"If the underlying situation really gets better, you can implement it gradually."

As Jin said, Ye Chunwang nodded. The total number of people working in the agricultural department from time to time is 20. If 3 criminals are excluded, at least 15 jobs need to be solved. Each district provides 2000 jobs, and it is possible to realize the mechanized planting and harvesting of the agricultural department.

Because the harvesting cycle after the crops are mature takes at least a week, and they have to work overtime every day. If machinery is invested, the harvesting can be completed in at most 2 days, and the seeds can be planted. In addition, some manual planting is required during the growth period. If the crops are not properly managed, the growth cycle will also increase.

The machinery can work 24 hours a day and only needs electricity. People who come to work here need to provide board and lodging, three meals a day, and even a minimum monthly salary of 500 yuan.

"How about making up a lie first?"

Jean said Ye Chunwang frowned.

"It is claimed that the research on land recovery and crop planting in barrier areas has been completed, is that so?"

Gene nodded.

"That's the only way to go, step up the research, let the land recover first, build some facilities in the barrier area, the sun will rise in the barrier area, after we go out, once we find the supplies, I will let Tang Rao use the most Bring it back quickly."

"You are so innocent. You have said so many things, and it sounds beautiful."

Wu Qun looked at the green drink in the cup, and took another sip. The taste was still very complicated. Le Xiao said a lot of his thoughts in one breath, but many of them were unrealistic.

"Then tell me, didn't you say it easily? What are the middle and upper classes lacking?"

Le Xiao really couldn't figure out what the middle and upper classes lacked. There was something to eat, something to play with. Compared with the bottom class, I don't know how many times better. Everything was produced and sold.

The only thing that is better at the lower level is the large area in the north that is connected to the middle level and is full of factories. Most people at the lower level can only find factory jobs there, but they are all temporary, and most factories have no contract workers.

Le Xiao looked at the chart that Wu Qun took out for herself, which was a business-intensive structural diagram of the upper, middle, and lower floors. After a few glances, she didn't have much interest. She felt that the fat man in front of her was here to fool herself. , or want to get something out of your own mouth.

"Did you take a good look at this business chart?"

Le Xiao glanced again.

"See what's the use of this, you're telling me what the upper middle class lacks."

Wu Qun shook his head.

"I don't know either, because some of the lower classes have the middle and upper classes, but some of the middle and upper classes may not have the bottom class."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Wu Qun patted his stomach with a smile, and looked at Le Xiao with interest.

"Although your ideas are a little naive, most of them are the closest to the essence. I've been talking to you for a long time, but you still don't have any ideas?"

Le Xiao shook her head, pursed her lips, and glanced at the chart again. Most of the business-intensive areas are concentrated in the upper 60 districts, while the lower 60 districts, where businesses are denser, only have the center of each district. Only a few streets, the rest of the place is deserted.

"Then let me ask you another question. In your eyes, what kind of life should the people at the bottom live to be considered good?"

Le Xiao got excited and nodded with a smile.
