Homo sapiens.

With the accumulation of genetic damage of several generations, after entering the 21st century, the overall problem of human infertility has become more and more serious.

In the investigation report of the Medical Division, another very critical source of ionizing radiation was mentioned that was ignored by many people.

That is X-ray contrast in medicine.

Why the more developed the region, the more serious the genetic damage is, which has a lot to do with their mature medical system and the very common annual physical examination.

Although the ionizing radiation dose of X-ray contrast equipment is not high, its damage to genes cannot be ignored, especially for people who have frequent physical examinations.

In those underdeveloped areas, medical resources are relatively few, and some people may never have access to X-ray imaging equipment in their entire lives.

Through this series of studies, the Medical Division has identified the culprits that cause human genetic damage, which are radioactive dust, nicotine, and X-ray equipment.

However, this discovery is not very useful for curbing the trend of human genetic damage.

New human employees at Homo sapiens may be able to force quit smoking.

However, radioactive dust has already spread to every corner of human society through atmospheric circulation and water circulation, and it is difficult to completely remove some trace radioactive substances.

X-ray equipment is almost indispensable in the current medical system. Even if Homo sapiens has magnetic field imaging technology, there is still no way to completely eliminate X-ray imaging equipment.

Li Qingye put down the tablet in his hand and sighed: "Human beings are always good at destroying themselves."

Sanzibada Leyal stood behind him, silently rubbing his temples.

Li Qingye couldn't be more clear about the issue of genetic damage.

After all, in order to obtain the power of revenge, he genetically modified himself, and now his sperm is still inactive.

This is typical genetic damage.

It is very easy to damage genes, but very difficult to repair and treat.

He may not care about people from other regions, but the new human employees are his loyal staff, and Li Qingye definitely does not want his subordinates to have problems.

It's just that the related technologies of gene therapy are still immature and not suitable for popularization in a short time.

However, the problem of genetic damage is imminent. With the development speed of Homo sapiens, even if the cause of the disease is understood, it is difficult to curb the spread of gene loss, and it can only be delayed for more than ten years.

So now we must find a way to solve this problem.

Chapter 366 The Most Strict in History

Li Qingye calmly ordered: "Jasmine, I want to use the conference machine."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Sanjibada Leyal took a few soldiers and launched a computer with a large screen.

On the side debugging panel on one side, she manipulated the device and asked, "Sir, who needs to be notified to participate?"

"There are other managers in the medical division."

"OK, I'll be fine soon."

After about 24 minutes, all those who were notified of the meeting put down their work and logged into the video conference room one after another.

The holographic projection equipment quickly activated, projecting them in a virtual conference room.

Li Qingye put on the holographic assistive glasses.

"Everyone, I asked you to come here to participate in this meeting in spite of your busy schedule, mainly because there are some problems in the recent annual report of the Medical Division."

As soon as the words fell, Sanjibada Leyal immediately shared the part of the annual report of the medical business department that Li Qingye had extracted with the participants.

Everyone quickly browsed.

It must be something that Li Qingye attaches so much importance to.

Zhao Jingsi, the person in charge of the medical business department, was thoughtful. After all, he had personally reviewed the report. Of course he knew the contents and might attract attention.

Garfield Fernando flipped through the excerpted documents, and a solemn expression appeared on his face: "Has it reached such a serious point?"

Zhao Jingsi nodded: "Yes, Minister Fernando, at present, human genes have been damaged to varying degrees around the world."

The faces of the others also changed slightly.

Regarding this trend, their first reaction was whether it was fake, and then they realized that this was done by Homo sapiens themselves, and the authenticity is absolutely reliable.

Qiu Yingle turned her head and asked Zhao Jingsi: "Minister Zhao, does the medical department have any countermeasures?"

Zhao Jingsi smiled wryly at this: "The big environmental problem is a problem with the ecological environment of the entire planet. Unless we build a completely independent ecosystem, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve this problem."

Hearing this, everyone was disappointed.

Fang Xincheng, the person in charge of the Supervision Department, was not disappointed. He still believes that human beings can solve problems through technology in the future. The key now is to delay the time until the new technology comes out. He asked:

"Is there a solution to the symptoms, at least to delay the time."

Li Qingye, who was silent for more than ten minutes, finally spoke:

"This is why I called you here. Although we have the technology to repair genes, the technology is not mature and there are certain risks. We need to find a way to delay the spread of genetic damage. As long as it can be delayed for more than ten or twenty years, When the gene repair technology matures, everything will be solved."

Fang Xincheng squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "From the perspective of pathogenic factors, I think it is necessary to make countermeasures for the first five factors."

For the pathogenic factors that can cause damage to genes, the top five are: radioactive substances, X-rays, nicotine, microplastics, and solar radiation (deep ultraviolet rays).

As the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Zhifan thought for a while: "I propose to cut down tobacco, which is one of the few factors in our company that can be completely eliminated. By the way, e-cigarettes should also be cut down."

"Inappropriate." Garfield Fernando shook his head: "We must consider the issue of smoking among older employees, but there is no problem with new human employees."

After a heated discussion, everyone finally made a comprehensive solution to the factor of nicotine.

A total of 15 countermeasures were formulated.

Including: comprehensively publicizing the dangers of smoking; only allowing infertile employees to purchase tobacco and related products; strictly prohibiting smoking in any public places within the company;

It is strictly forbidden to sell any tobacco and its related products within the company, 5 grams constitutes a crime, and it is punishable by whipping and imprisonment for more than one month, and if the quantity is large, the death penalty will be imposed directly.

There are other measures.

This set of response plans also means that Homo sapiens will implement the strictest smoking ban in the history of the world.

The smoke in it is no longer limited to tobacco, but also includes electronic cigarettes containing nicotine, chemical vapors from spray paint, and kitchen fumes that are ignored by many people.

For tobacco and electronic cigarettes, the company directly cuts across the board, and there is no compromise at all.

As for spray paint and kitchen fume, this is not a one-size-fits-all.

In terms of painting, in addition to fully upgrading the automatic painting equipment, all painting operations must be carried out in a special painting room, and the employees in the painting post must be fully protected.

However, all manual spray paint cans sold on the market have been taken off the shelves, and individuals are no longer allowed to purchase such spray paint cans and bottles.

After all, after individuals purchase spray paint cans, there is a high probability that they will spray directly during the operation without even wearing a mask.

The health hazards that exist in this cannot be ignored.

In terms of kitchen fume, in addition to the rectification of restaurants, the company will also fund all employees to modify their home kitchens.

Those open kitchens are all changed into independent kitchens. The range hoods must be equipped with purifiers, and the kitchen equipment should be as automated as possible. At the same time, several anti-virus helmets with air filters are equipped.

Of course, the company also recommends that employees reduce the proportion of cooking at home and choose to eat in the employee restaurant as much as possible.

After all, it still depends on the individual to strictly implement the recommendations within the family, especially some elderly employees who are not new humans. Many of them are very stubborn.

However, restaurants are the property of the company, and they must implement the company's regulations without compromise. The protection of practitioners must be higher than that of families.

After discussing chemical causative agents like nicotine.

Everyone looked at the remaining four pathogenic factors.

Among them, there is no need to discuss the issue of solar radiation.

Because the scientific research station in Antarctica has fed back some research reports some time ago, the earth's ozone layer has almost been repaired.

The previous solar radiation problem was mainly a large amount of ultraviolet radiation. This is a problem of radiation dose.

Qiu Yingle asked Zhao Jingsi: "Microplastics should be solved, right?"

Zhao Jingsi nodded: "Yes, the symbiosis Gu in our body can remove the microplastics that have entered the body."

"What about natural workers?" Fang Xincheng looked at the current population data.

According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Personnel, Homo sapiens currently has a total of 9.1372 million employees, of which 2.7368 million are new humans, and the rest are natural employees.

Li Qingye thought for a while: "Natural employees can deal with it in this way. The medical business department can launch a microplastic removal treatment plan to remove microplastics for natural employees on a regular basis."

"No problem." Zhao Jingsi nodded.

Fang Xincheng asked: "Can the content of microplastics in the environment be reduced?"

"In fact, the plastic products in our company have been used very little." Liu Zhifan explained with a smile.

The amount of plastic products used by Homo Sapiens is indeed very small, which is related to the plastic-free movement that the company has been promoting since the establishment of the Hongshawadi branch.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhifan added: "But we need to buy part of the food. Microplastics are hard to avoid. In addition, there are microplastics in the ocean. The seafood we catch contains more or less microplastics."

Hearing this situation, everyone frowned.

In the final analysis, Homo sapiens is only a regional giant at this time, not the global leader of the earth, and there is no way to solve global environmental problems.

After all, no matter how well your company's internal governance is, others will emit a large amount of pollutants. With the atmospheric circulation and water cycle, these pollutants will also enter the Homo sapiens company.

It is too difficult.

Chapter 367 Release?Still not letting go?

Zhao Jingsi looked at the crowd, then hesitantly said:

"In fact, to solve the problem of microplastics, there is another fundamental solution."

"Fundamentally solve it?" Liu Zhifan was stunned for a moment: "What method?"

Zhao Jingsi looked at Li Qingye with some hesitation.

Of course Li Qingye knew what the method he was talking about, he waved his hand, and then said, "The method Jingsi said is actually plastic-decomposing bacteria. The company has already achieved a lot in this regard."

Hearing this news, everyone was not too happy.

All the people present are smart people, they don't only look at the good and not the bad when they look at things.

Li Qingye continued: "Presumably you have also seen the problem of plastic-decomposing bacteria. To ensure that the plastic particles in nature are completely decomposed, it is necessary to unlock the genetic restrictions of this artificial fungus and allow it to have the ability to reproduce itself."

"In addition, once released into nature, it means that this fungus can no longer be eliminated, and I can't guarantee whether they will mutate into bacteria that are harmful to humans or other organisms during the natural reproduction process."

Li Qingye paused: "And once the plastic-decomposing fungus is released, the service life of most plastic products in human society will not exceed 3 months."

grunt!A thin layer of sweat broke out on Qiu Yingle's forehead, and she once again saw the horror of biologists.

Everyone once again had a heated discussion.

Plastic products are a very comprehensive material for modern society.

From plastic bags, plastic boxes, plastic films, clothes, toys, plastic products, to interior decoration, electrical wires, vehicles, ships, aircraft, and even artificial satellites and space stations, plastic is everywhere.

If you choose to release plastic-decomposing bacteria, it means that these plastic-applied products will face a huge impact.

As long as Homo sapiens chooses to release, this kind of shock is almost unavoidable.

The choice before everyone now is to let go or not to let go.

Liu Zhifan thought for a while: "We need to consider alternatives to plastics, or the issue of protection."

Jiang Mingxuan, the person in charge of the Science Department, asked: "Zhifan, your industry department should have a catalog of applications for plastic products, right?"

"Yes, I will share it with everyone."

Liu Zhifan shared the plastic application catalog with everyone in a short while.

Everyone read it intently, because this is related to the whole world, and it is also related to the hundreds of large and small industries that need to be adjusted within Homo sapiens.

Although Qiu Yingle is now in charge of the entertainment business department, she has managed the Siam branch for a long time before, so she is more concerned about another special branch in the plastics industry:

"Mr. Chairman, do plastic fungi also work on natural rubber?"

Li Qingye nodded: "It also has a decomposition effect, but the speed is slower. Natural rubber will be completely decomposed in about 14 to 16 months."

Of course, the 14-16 months here actually refers to being completely exposed to the air or water, and at the same time, the temperature and humidity are relatively suitable.

If there are dry and hot tropical deserts, or extremely cold poles, and plateaus with thin air and strong ultraviolet rays, in these areas, the decomposition rate of plastic fungi will drop several times, or even dozens of times.

In addition, burying it deep in the soil can also delay the decomposition rate.

When Qiu Yingle heard this answer, she immediately understood that the natural rubber industry in Southeast Asia cannot survive the attack of plastic fungi.
