Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

"This must be due to the entry of the Great Xia military and official scientific research institutions, which led to this situation!

We can no longer rely on our own research and development capabilities! The military, Ivy League universities, world-class research institutes, and even those scientific research companies in Daxia should all be our support!

We can no longer rest on our laurels! We can no longer continue to dream of an ecological closed loop! "

What? Open ecology?

All the directors looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking about how much risk and benefit Pingguo would bring to themselves if they took this step.

But Kuke couldn't control that much.

He opened a document and dumped the sales data of this year's Pingguo new phones and old models of mobile phones and tablets in front of all the directors.

"In addition to mobile phones, the global sales of our new Mac Studio, iOS ecological display and other new products have dropped by 25% at the least compared with the same period in the past, and the drop has even exceeded 50%.

Even our overseas sales agents have reported that the products of Daxia Enterprises on the market are cheaper and have better performance than ours!

If the technical strength is not enough to make everyone sober, then I want to tell you that even though we are trying our best to lobby the North American Motor Vehicle Administration to adopt the electronic driver's license carried by Pingguo products, we have been shirked for a long time.

Obviously, after the fall of our stock price last time led to the collapse of US stocks, which made the rescue efforts of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street fall short, we have been gradually marginalized.

There is also our attitude towards overseas markets like Daxia, putting the data processing center in Daxia, which has already made domestic intelligence agencies very dissatisfied with us. "

When Ku Ke said this, he put his hands on the table and stared at everyone in a low tone.

He clearly knows that most of these directors are people from positive, negative, Wall Street, and international capital, so what he said to them can be passed on to those forces quickly.

"Gentlemen, no one can find out how many research laboratories of Kyushu Science and Technology are in operation, and how many factories are starting production!

But what is certain is that Kyushu Technology will definitely use all the resources in its hands to rush to the place with the highest profit and the largest market.

In addition to Kyushu Technology, we also have to face the challenges of companies such as Xiawei and Xiaxing. In addition to the main business of mobile phones, it is also very difficult for us to set foot in the field of new energy vehicles!

If we do not open global partners to join us, Pingguo's future will be bleak. "

When the last word was finished, Ku Ke closed his eyes and put his hands together as if he was being judged by God.

"May God bless Pingguo."

Although these directors didn't say a word, they followed closely and prayed to Pingguo.

As for the openness?

No one thought it could be done.

It's like no one can clearly know how many products of intelligence agencies and research institutes are in Pingguo's industrial chain.

Pingguo is not Kuke's Pingguo alone, nor is it an exclusive company owned by the forces behind these directors.

As the pillar of US stocks, it involves too many factors.

Moreover, it is not so easy to make a large ship turn around in an instant and change its strategy.

Many people even thought about helping to shovel more coal into the boiler when the ship was about to hit the iceberg.

Because of the destruction of the existing economy, although facing the danger of an economic crisis, it can actually increase the income of vested interest groups several times in the short term.

The core industry of science and technology is shifting to Daxia, but the people of North America will not migrate.

North American consumers are feeling the pinch from rising prices for gasoline, food and even housing, so shoppers are opting for smaller packages and more canned goods over fresh meat and vegetables.

But even so, they have to consume.

The worse the economic environment is, the wider the gap between rich and poor will be.

Moreover, consumption will only be downgraded by ordinary people and those middle-class people defined by capital, and high-income consumers will not be affected.

For example, the sales of imported high-quality beer in North America are still stable this year, and the sales of luxury goods have once again broken new records. In the black market, N-hand sellers who resell Taoyao, SR1 glasses, Lingland Lander, and Jiaolong mobile phones, every month Revenues were higher than the previous month.

Even some multinational trading companies are also doing unscrupulous business, focusing on reselling Kyushu Technology's products to those official Guojiahe regions.

Although Kyushu Technology's products always have so many activation restrictions, many restrictions are really vulnerable in front of banknotes.

Now there is even a business of bringing people around Daxia, then traveling into Daxia, activating Kyushu technology products in Daxia, and sending them back to the mainland.

Although the charges are a bit more expensive, they actually provide various high-quality services, which "promote the development of the surrounding economy". Help these people to "tour" in Daxia.

November is a very busy month.

The reduced configuration version of the mecha is still under development, and it will be launched in December.

The robotics project that the aerospace project is vigorously developing is also looking for "learning experience" from the mecha project while researching and developing. After all, everyone's projects overlap in many fields.

Although this study was directly pulled over, it was still rewarding.

In the scenes of the struggle between steel and industry, Gu Qing learned a piece of good news about the future of food.

The first batch of seeds that Kyushu Science and Technology sent to space have already taken root in the experimental field in Xinke District.

Although the family is well-off in this life, how can it be possible for a pig farmer not to grow vegetables?

Therefore, Gu Qing is not a scholar who does not get wet. Strictly speaking, he is also a person who has come out of the village.

The Xinke District was the suburb of Rongcheng back then, so when the district was planned, except for the large number of residents around the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Community, the rest of the area was basically plain farmland and the Tianfu granary. Due to many restrictions, it is also not allowed to be developed as commercial real estate.

After the division, Kyushu Technology, as a consultant company for the planning of the new district, also "suggested" not to develop real estate, so many fields were reserved.

And some of these fields are used as experimental fields, and special personnel and Kyushu security are in charge, so as to prevent grandpa and aunt from stealing the experimental results.

In the corn base of aerospace breeding, a row of corn germplasm materials with a plant height of about 1.2 meters is particularly distinctive, because the single corn plants that look the same around it are all about 1.6 meters.

In November, this thing can still grow?

Yes, as long as the temperature control and fertilization are in place, you can eat the freshest watermelon in nine cold winters.

Zhang Quanhai, the vice president of Kyushu Science and Technology Biotechnology Research Institute, was hunched over in front of the row of low corn plants, pointing with both hands, excitedly introducing to Gu Qing, "Mr. Gu, this is a corn plant. The corn seeds mutated in the space station, and now one seed has grown into a plant, and one plant has bred into an ear row.

After two rounds of careful selection and testing, we found that its growth rate has been greatly improved, and at the same time, the fruit is sticky, the plant is compact, and it is resistant to dense planting.

Moreover, the ability to resist disease and lodging is strong, and the accumulated temperature required is not as high as that of other corn varieties. This means that if these seeds encounter seasons with more continuous rainy days, the leaves are not easy to be infected with rust and stem rot, which can at least reduce the number of growers. losses of more than 30 percent. "

Gu Qing nodded. Although he looked happy, he didn't touch these plants. He was even afraid that his footsteps would be heavy and the roots of the plants would be affected by trampling on the soil, so he just bent forward and looked at them.

People depend on food, even scientists, engineers, royal families and nobles must eat food.

Therefore, Gu Qing has always attached great importance to space breeding.

Space breeding is space breeding, also known as space mutation breeding, which is the comprehensive mutagenesis of crop seeds or test tube seedlings carried by returnable spacecraft or space capsules, using cosmic rays, microgravity, high vacuum and other special environments in space. , so that the organisms themselves produce genetic mutations, and then return to the land, after multiple generations of screening and cultivation by scientific researchers, a new variety with stable characteristics is formed.

"After sending so many seeds, some results finally came out." Gu Qing said with emotion.

Zhang Quanhai sighed: "Yes, there are so many seeds sent up, but not every seed will change. There may be only a thousand or even a few ten thousandths that can be changed.

If it weren't for special equipment like nuclear track plates, which can be used to detect whether the seeds are hit by cosmic particles, the time and resources we need to consume would increase geometrically. "

"In addition to corn, how many space seeds do we have benign mutations?" Gu Qing asked suddenly.

As the vice president of Kyushu Science and Technology Biotechnology Research Institute, Zhang Quanhai replied almost without thinking: "There are three varieties of wheat, four varieties of soybeans, three varieties of rice, two varieties of potatoes, and pumpkins. Sweet potatoes had two of each.

There are still thirteen varieties on the space station, a total of 1,300 seeds are undergoing the baptism of the universe.

And going into space is only the first step. After landing, we still need to observe whether the seed genes have changed, and then go through breeding, multi-point testing and hybridization.

If there are no accidents, there will be stable and qualified output of space agricultural products in three years. Of course, it is only for our commercial and civilian agricultural products.

As for our progress on the lunar base, it depends on how much lunar soil the company can provide in the future, and how many seeds can be sent to the base for the first wave. What our research institute can guarantee is that we will be able to provide edible safe and high-quality space within two years. Produce for the astronauts! "

What Zhang Quanhai said was categorical, but Gu Qing did not agree.

He shook his head and said: "For commercial and civilian seeds, we still follow the official regulations. The seed state is mature enough, and the risk borne by the grower is small, and then promoted. Our company is not those seed companies and does not need to rely on space seeds to make profits.

Although I am not an expert in this field, I have also learned that it takes at least 8-10 years to breed more mature space varieties. Breeding requires 4 to 5 years of variation screening, and three years of variety regional trials and production trials.

People’s dining tables must not be sloppy. For the lunar base, we will guarantee the supply of food and drinking water for the astronauts in the early stage, so there is no need for your research institute to make great strides to carry out experiments.

Anyway, there is only one principle, and that is stability and security. Our future is destined to be in the stars and seas. When we go out in the future, it will not be easy for us to eat the food on the blue star, so we must cherish every seed as a child, and don't act too hastily. "

Afraid that the other party might misunderstand the meaning, Gu Qing also said emphatically: "Don't worry about the funding and the number of places to send seeds to the sky for experiments. Our company has always had a close relationship with the government. You can report as long as you have needs, and there are also things about the test site. , We have good cooperative relations with Anxi Province, the Three Northeast Provinces and some provinces in the coastal area, so if you want a test site, you should apply boldly.

Anyway, the principle is one, to ensure the safety and health of the seeds, followed by the pursuit of yield, nutrition, and disease resistance. "

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Zhang Quanhai sniffled.

Looking around, there are so many companies in the industry, even those invested by Xia, there should be no company that would treat this space breeding project like this.

After all, transgenic is the most widely used and cheapest technology in the world that can produce results by artificially introducing some genes with good traits to plants, so as to change their comprehensive traits.

And space breeding, which uses the space environment to accelerate the genetic variation of seeds, expand the range, and increase the frequency, costs too much and takes too long. Although it is a cutting-edge technology, the benefits created are not as fast as genetic modification. , earn more.

Gu Qing chatted a lot with other researchers of Kyushu Science and Technology Biotechnology Research Institute in the experimental field, and had a meal at noon, which was said to be a doctoral thesis of a certain person in charge.

Well, papers related to agriculture generally refer to plants and organisms such as melons, fruits, grapes, chickens, ducks and fish.

During the dinner, an old man from the Institute of Biotechnology looked at the crops outside the window, and his thoughts drifted away: "I still remember that in the 1950s and 1960s, scientists from the United States and the Soviet Union began to use various spacecraft Hundreds of plant-carrying experiments have been carried out, and some of them have completed their full life cycle in space, producing some fresh food supplies.

And we are still on the ground, planing food in the ground bitterly.

Decades have passed in a blink of an eye. I heard that there are many problems with the International Space Station, and even astronauts deliberately destroy the equipment of the space station. What a prodigal. "

After Gu Qing wiped the chicken legs clean in one gulp, he wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and then said to the old man: "Now our Tiangong in Daxia is much better than the International Space Station, and the astronauts can grow their own lettuce to eat .

After a few years, our space station is built on the orbit, and you can always watch our company's astronauts eat the food we cultivate. "

PS: Space breeding and space breeding are two technical projects. One is to take the seeds out and fly around, and let them grow on the ground.

One is to take the seed to heaven and let it grow in space.

But it's a time-consuming project, so I won't describe too much.

Good night.
