Chapter 317 I only have two tricks in one hundred tricks
On the other side, in a conference room, a special team of experts is sitting together. They have just listened to the analysis report of the General Technical Office on the possible strategies that Ugly Country may adopt in the subsequent food war, but their There was no particular look on his face.

It can even be said that they don't even care much about it.

If you look carefully, even an ordinary person can clearly see the difference between these people and those experts and scholars with a fixed mindset. A few of them who are slightly normal wear protective clothing for entering and leaving the laboratory, at least they look like a researcher. The appearance of the personnel, but for others, it is hard to tell.

A dark-skinned, middle-aged man wearing a tattered T-shirt, sweating profusely, and mud spots on his trouser legs; a woman holding a straw hat and constantly fanning the wind, wishing to get under the air conditioner; The young man who sat on the side writing and writing, didn't care what Chen Hao said; and the two old men who had been arguing quietly since the beginning of the meeting, and didn't stop until Chen Hao finished speaking.

This is probably one of the most pragmatic teams in China. Just two hours ago, they were still busy at their respective posts. If the Chief Technology Office hadn't sent a special person to invite them, I'm afraid they really wouldn't have saved face to come to participate. meeting.

And although these people seem a bit nondescript, their goal is surprisingly noble, that is: to make everyone in China have enough to eat.

For this goal, they have gone through several generations of inheritance, the oldest of which is close to 70 years old, and the youngest has just graduated from college.

The two old men didn't notice that Chen Hao's report was over, they were still arguing on their own:

".KRN2 is not the focus of the problem at all. Who doesn't know that KRN2 can increase production? The question now is how to improve your targeted knock-in efficiency. You said that using the previous CRISPR/Cas system, such as translation enhancers, transcription Can strategies such as regulatory elements still work on the A&C-BEmax system? Not at all!"

"So I told you, the most important thing now is to interpret based on the existing documents, first speculate on the working method of the A&C-BEmax system technically, try to optimize the typing efficiency, and then do experiments."

"Otherwise, you have operated and planted, and the effect will not reach the tone, whose time is wasted?"

The old man opposite him looked serious, and after a moment's pause, he replied:

"You are thinking of sharpening the knife and not mistakenly chopping wood, but you have to understand that what we have now is a mature system, not the kind of crap that we used to figure out a little bit. You can do it again. Too much interpretation is unnecessary—it’s not that it’s unnecessary, it’s because we can’t do it under the current limited time.”

"You want to understand this editor, and I also want to understand this editor, but that's all for the future. What we need to do now is to understand the operation method first, and do the experiment first. As for the latter things, Learn on the battlefield, learn while fighting!"

"Then what if there is a problem? Whose fault is it?"

"You can't analyze anything new with that thing? Isn't it a waste of time? If it really doesn't work, let's make a compromise. I'll send you two people to do the interpretation, but I have to do the practical experiment first."

"Time is very tight. Within four months, I will harvest the first crop of rice to see the results. We really have no time to waste."

".You are always in such a hurry, you have to eat every bite."

"Damn it, if we don't do well this time, some people will have nothing to eat!"

Hearing this, the old man who originally held objections finally sighed and nodded silently.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said:
"No matter how urgent we are, your four-month goal is too outrageous. It will take at least 4 days from the cultivation of Agrobacterium to transplanting, and the rice will be harvested within four months. That is really no room for yourself. stay."

"What's left? Didn't you hear what the person above said just now? The Ugly Devils have already started to fight. Now that agriculture is their only field of strength, it's impossible for them not to go all out."

"Since they are all going all out, don't we need to go all out?"

"Okay, that's it, let's go back and discuss the rest."

After finishing speaking, the two of them stopped talking together, and turned to look at Chen Hao, who was smiling and looking at them not far away, with embarrassing expressions on their faces.

"Little comrade, I'm sorry, we have encountered a problem, and we are in a hurry to finish the discussion. Didn't bother you?"

"No, no, the issue you discussed is more important. I'm just introducing the background to everyone—but it seems that everyone doesn't want to hear it."

Hearing this, the old man smiled heartily, and then said:

"To be honest, your information is too much and too complicated. We are all people who work in the field and in the laboratory, and we look at the problems in a simple way."

"What is the goal, what needs to be done, and how to do it, these are the three elements."

"Look, let me sum it up for you. What you said this time is nothing more than this."

"The Ugly Devils are going to move our food. We want to ensure food security, so we need to increase food production. The increase in food production must be achieved through the gene editing A&C-BEmax system. Right? A few simple sentences can sum it up."

"You're right about always criticizing me. It's because I didn't think carefully."

Chen Hao replied modestly.

In fact, he had already considered this situation before holding this briefing, but out of prudence, he still reported the current situation completely.

Whether the other party listens or not is one thing, but whether you speak or not is another.

If key information is missed due to one's own subjective judgment, further causing the butterfly effect, then the problem of this grain production increase plan will be serious.

It's not a matter of who is responsible, he is not afraid of responsibility, what he is afraid of is that the Chinese people will not have enough to eat.

However, seeing the reactions of these people present, his confidence also increased a bit.

With these people around, and with them being passed down from generation to generation, it won't be difficult to have enough to eat, right?

After a few brief explanations at the end, Chen Hao arranged for a special car to send the experts present back to their respective jobs, and this simple meeting also marked that the most important trump card in the subsequent grain battle had begun to be constructed.

After everyone walked out of the meeting room, Ye Zhou came out from another small office next door.

"How about it, do you think it will go well?"

Chen Hao asked.

"I don't know if it will go well or not, but in fact our goal is not so strict. As long as we can ensure that the rice seedlings with a large-scale increase in production can come out within this year, it will be enough to end all operations of the other party."

After a pause, Ye Zhou continued:
"To be honest, I also think you talk a little too much to these experts."

"What are spot futures, what are the prices of finished products upside down, what are the levers being used by officials, what are plant infectious diseases-oh, this is still useful."

"But to sum it up in one sentence, it's gaudy!"

Seeing Chen Hao's aggrieved eyes, Ye Zhou quickly explained:

"I'm not saying you're fancy, I'm talking about Ugly Country's operations."

"They always have this kind of thinking, thinking that they have achieved the ultimate in technology, so they want to achieve everything through technical means, but they completely forget one thing, that is, what we do most often is Defeat cleverness with strength."

"Actually, as long as there are two reliances, we will almost certainly win this food battle."

"The first one is a huge grain reserve."

"Secondly, there are new seedlings that grow rapidly and continue to increase production."

"We have almost achieved the ultimate in the former. Now we only need to make up for the latter. In the field of food, we will be proud of the world."

"So, I really don't need to talk so much with these experts. This project is different from other projects. Our chief technical office only has one principle: we need people to give, and we need money to give money!"

Chen Hao nodded deeply, and replied:

"I understand. Today's meeting is mainly out of prudence, and the subsequent operations will definitely adapt to their working methods."

"Well, I know, in fact, you are right to do this. We can't afford accidents."

After pausing for a moment, a bright smile appeared on Ye Zhou's face, and then he continued:

"However, sometimes I feel that in this area, we can be more confident."

"We dare to dream of enjoying the cool under the grass. How difficult is it for us to make a small increase in production?"
