Luo Jia came to the Ministry of Agriculture and announced that it would be officially incorporated into the Ministry of Life Sciences, and established the main research and development direction of genetically modified products.

After giving a brief introduction, he habitually pulled over the whiteboard and wrote quickly on it, while the others in the conference room stared at each other and took a closer look.

Swish swish swish swish ~

Not long after, Luo Jia stopped writing, and two powerful genetic science tools emerged on the whiteboard. One was the gene editing tool called the Triassic, and the other was the gene verification tool called the Cretaceous.

Both tools come from advanced plant civilizations, but in order to be used on the earth, Luo Jia gave them a slightly mysterious name again and made appropriate weakening.

After all, as one of the most powerful and oldest civilizations among the stars, the genetic technology of plant civilization is too advanced for the earth. It weakens some functions and will easily be accepted by the earth's scientific community, and it will not be misunderstood by others, thinking that Luo Jia is a time traveler.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect Mr. Luo to still understand genetics?"

"Nonsense, Luo is always a rare all-round player in the world, which is something that people have known for a long time."

"This tool seems to be able to perform accurate overhaul of the base?"

"It seems like this, but it still needs Mr. Luo to explain it in detail..."

Everyone was talking about it, and the diagram was obscure and it seemed to be understandable.

After Luo Jia put down the ink pen, he said in a deep voice: "If we want to change the gene ordering of organisms, we need to use gene editing tools. At present, global gene editing tools research has been developed to the third generation."

"From the first-generation DNA nuclease editing system ZFNs, to the second-generation TALENs, to the third-generation gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 system, it is undoubtedly a series of great progress. However, even the most advanced CRISPR technology at present is still limited in functions, and there will still be a large number of off-target phenomena."

"All people who have done genetically modified engineering understand that simply put, genetically modified is genetic control, and off-target means that gene mutations are not controlled, which is a very dangerous thing that must be overcome."

"So I envisioned an accurate gene editing tool, Triassic. Triassic can effectively achieve free conversion of all 12 single bases without additional DNA templates, and can also achieve accurate insertion and deletion of multiple bases. According to data simulation tests, Triassic can insert up to 44bp bases and delete 80bp bases."

"Compared with the third generation of CRISPR system, the Triassic has two biggest differences. First, it is to modify the single-stranded guide RNA (sgRNA) and add a RNA sequence to its end. The newly obtained RNA, I call it pegRNA, and then fuse the Cas9 nickase with reverse transcriptase to obtain a new fusion protein, and then form a dual role with the end sequence of pegRNA..."

In this world, genetic science is definitely one of the most difficult and obscure disciplines, and Luo Jia's words are also full of various obscure professional terms.

There is no need to mention professional matters, it is worth mentioning the idea. This time, Luo Jia was very clever and did not copy the gene editing tools of plant civilization, but cleverly integrated it with the third-generation tools on the earth. Using the advanced technology of the plant family, he added two new characteristics to the third-generation tools.

It seems that Luo Jia only made two improvements in the research results of his predecessors, but these two improvements have given the finishing touch of old tools and even a huge improvement in the transformation.

"Great, this is such a genius design!"

"Use this set of tools to achieve precise gene control!"

Before the agricultural manager Du Wei could speak, Wen Chengfeng shouted loudly. He had already seen that after adding two new features, the gene editing tools became accurate, and the off-target rate decreased sharply.

Luo Jia looked calm and did not care so much, because this was really nothing. In fact, the tools given to him by Lan Yu were even stronger, and they could even cultivate terrible alien plants.

However, based on the principle of gradual progress, Luo Jia only leaked a small part of it to everyone this time. For the rest of the days, he will continue to indirectly attack and lead the company while moving in the right direction until he fully masters the gene editing technology of the plant family. Only at the critical R&D nodes can Luo Jia personally take the lead.

After introducing the gene editing tool, Luo Jia began to introduce the gene verification tool, the Cretaceous.

Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "Gene editing tools are like weapons in the hands of warriors. Only weapons will not kill people, but people will kill people. In order to ensure that genetic weapons will not be abused, we also need to use gene verification tools to ensure safety."

"The Cretaceous AI Little Stars based on the Software Department can be regarded as the genetic version of Little Stars. Whenever we perform directional editing of biological genes, artificial intelligence will simulate whether there will be safety hazards in the future implementation process through complex operations and exhaustive efforts."

"The impact of simulated gene mutations on humans and all living things is completely incredible, but fortunately, we have a powerful supercomputing system that is enough to support the operation of the entire mathematical model..."

Luo Jia continued to explain the technology, and after listening to Luo Jia's words, everyone suddenly realized that the gene verification system was a mathematical model, plus a gene algorithm controlled by artificial intelligence.

Suppose you use genetic tools to modify grapes, and whether eating this genetically modified grape is harmful to humans or other organisms can be calculated through tools. If it is really harmful, artificial intelligence will predict in advance.

"The ancients said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you have these two tools, it will bring great help to our work. Do you think my plan is feasible?" Luo Jia asked around and looked around.

Everyone nodded repeatedly without any objection.

Once again, I saw Luo Jia's genius idea, which made everyone admire him. As the saying goes, height determines vision, angle changes concepts, and Luo Jia, who has cosmic civilization technology as the backing, obviously has a more advanced thinking, and looks at problems more thoroughly and longer-term than everyone.

Luo Jia finally concluded: "In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, we must understand a basic fact, that is, plants on earth will definitely not be able to adapt to alien colonies, nor to starship environment and long journeys."

"Eighty-tenth of all, we are inactive when taking the wheat on Earth to Mars to cultivate, so even for the needs of interstellar colonization, we must invest in plant genetically modified research."

"There is also the starship voyage. It would be great if our crew members could eat fresh green vegetables during the long journey. The limited resources on the starship are destined to be unable to produce plants as freely as they are on the earth. Plants that can follow the starship voyage must adapt to more harsh living conditions."

"In addition to the need for agricultural transformation of the earth, interstellar colonies, long-distance starships, and the earth's local needs, these three major needs are the directions of the agricultural sector's future research, and no aspect can be ignored."

"In addition, we must also consider the acceptance of the people on earth and not produce too exaggerated results at once. For example, the yield of 30,000 kilograms per mu is a beautiful vision, but if it is achieved, most people will probably be frightened and dare not eat such high-yield staple food."

"So at this stage, we still use import substitution, such as cherries. We develop our own excellent seedlings, sell them to domestic agricultural institutions at low prices, and compete with international seedling suppliers to drive them out of the market."

"You also know that in two months, the space elevator will be completed. I hope you can add a bright color to the synchronous orbit station and even the moon base. Let us be responsible for stationing in space and mining Helium 3 on the moon, life will become more interesting."

Drawing big cakes is a skill. Luo Jia is very clever in guiding the future of the Ministry of Agriculture towards space. After listening to his words, the colleagues of the Ministry of Agriculture were all thrilled and were so excited that they could not do it themselves. Unexpectedly, they could also contribute to the company's space plan. This was really wonderful.

In general, Luo Jia’s plan is very simple. No one can stop GMOs, so it must be done. This is the unshakable goal of the company.

However, there must be strategies for GMOs. The earth should be low-key. Domestic substitutions of imported seedlings are given enough choices. You can choose to trust Xingchen Technology and eat GMO food. If you don’t trust, you will not eat them and leave the decision to the masses to choose.

However, when it comes to the space program led by Xingchen Technology, there is no choice. Just kidding, if agricultural technology does not develop, how can we expand our territory outside the earth in the future?

As long as you participate in the space program of Xingchen Technology, you must follow the rules of Xingchen Technology. Genetically modified in the space program is not an option, but a must.

"Make sure to complete the task!"

"Cultivate powerful new plants for space programs? We are willing to do this job!"

"I have long disliked Monsan, just played with them!"

Everyone spoke excitedly. Luo Jia nodded with satisfaction, said some words of encouragement, and then turned around and left. After all, although agriculture is important, it is a typical slow-heating project. It is impossible for Luo Jia to arrange it, and the results will be seen immediately in the short term.

Two advanced genetic tools have been handed over to them. The agricultural department needs to play it on its own. Luo Jia is not going to ask about how much it can be. Anyway, as long as it can be safe, it will do its best to do it.

Walking out of the gate of the Ministry of Agriculture and looking at the sun at noon, Luo Jia couldn't help but sigh that time passed so quickly. Before he knew it, the seventh year since his business was about to pass.
Chapter completed!
