Chapter 104, Gene Lock

The name "Money Tree" by the water kid is not a fortune tree that is usually used for viewing in the office. It is a kind of fortune tree that can bring wealth.

The wealth tree, which is composed of the gene recombination of four plants: coconut tree, poplar tree, Brazilian rubber tree and mosaic bamboo, has the drought tolerance, cold resistance, deep and lush roots, and can adapt to arid climate well. At the same time, the developed root system can absorb water and solidify soil and reduce soil erosion.

The genes of Brazilian rubber trees can allow the wealthy trees to produce considerable bio-petroleum energy every year through photosynthesis, and can be directly used as diesel oil without refining.

Extracting some genes in the coconut tree can make the bio-oil produced by the Money Tree store in the coconut in the form of coconuts. That is to say, the coconuts produced by the Money Tree are not delicious coconut juice, but bio-oil that can be used as energy.

The genes of mosaic bamboo can allow the wealthy tree to grow and form quickly under suitable conditions, and grow into a towering tree in just a few weeks like mosaic bamboo.

Inside the glass, several researchers wearing white coats first dried some dry bamboo seeds on the simulated Loess Plateau, and then planted the seedlings of the wealthy tree at a certain proportion.

The test site as big as a basketball court cannot plant too many seedlings. Soon, a few people planted more than a dozen seedlings and then evacuated them.

The water kid who has practiced Yuanli has a very good eye vision. He can clearly see the black dry bamboo grass seeds in the loess. The tender green seedlings of the fortune tree are only a few centimeters tall. They are also placed in a nutrition bag and planted together with the nutrition bag.

"Mr. Chen, you're ready!" His subordinates dare not call him Shuiwa like others, usually they call Mr. Chen or Mr. Chen.

"Let's start!" Shuiwa dialed. After hearing this, his subordinate turned around and activated a button. This button can precipitate the simulated site once, and the precipitation is set in advance.

Some mist was sprayed evenly above the simulation site. The amount of water was very small, but the soft loess still changed slightly. However, within 5 minutes, the fortune tree began to grow. If you don’t pay attention to it, it will be difficult to detect this kind of growth, but the Shuiwa and others who have been staring at it still saw it.

Then after another 5 minutes, the seeds of the dry bamboo grass began to germinate and take root!

One hour later, the fortune tree has grown more than 1 cm larger than it has just begun, and all the seeds of the dry bamboo grass have taken root and sprouted, and nodded.

Five hours later, the fortune tree had grown to a height of 5 cm, with a few small branches blooming, and the dry bamboo grass had already reached about 1 cm. The entire simulated Loess Plateau had begun to turn green, and the yellow loose soil was full of green.

After 24 hours, the money tree had grown to a height of more than 20 centimeters, forming a small bush forest, and the dry bamboo grass was already 5 inside. The entire loess high slope completely turned into a green blanket, with bushy trees on it.

A week later, the entire test site that simulates the environment of the Loess Plateau has turned into a small forest. The wealthy trees more than one meter high are lush with branches and leaves. Some small balls as small as beans can be seen between the branches and the main trunks. Below the grove, there are more than 30 cm high dry bamboo grass stretching its figure.

A month later, the entire basketball court-sized simulation field was no longer visible at all. The original Loess Plateau was 10 meters tall and it would no longer grow taller. It began to become thicker and stronger. The small balls between the branches were now the size of eggs.

The color of the small ball is not the green of the coconut, but the yellow with spots. Below the fortune tree is a dry bamboo grass that is more than 1 meter tall.

Shuiwa used a sickle tied to a bamboo pole to cut off a few small yellow balls. A few sheep, cows and horses next to it were eating dry bamboo grass leisurely. Looking at how they chewed, we can know that this dry bamboo grass is a very good forage grass and livestock like to eat it very much.

"Hey!" Shuiwa used a sharp drill to drill a small hole in the hard small ball, pouring out some golden transparent oily substances. You don't have to think about it. This is why the fortune tree is called "the fortune".

"Take it and analyze it!" Shuiwa said to the assistant next to him. Shuiwa continued to drill holes, pour out a little, and analyze it carefully.

There is no odor of diesel, and the color is golden. If it is diesel, it can be compared with the best diesel. You should know that the lighter the color of diesel, the better the quality. The darker the color means that there are more impurities inside. The best diesel is the transparent golden color now! However, China seems to be unable to extract it, or in other words, it has never sold this oil to the people for several barrels of oil.

"Shuiwa, yes! You've made it in just a few months!" Shuiwa, who was concentrating on research, didn't notice Liu Qingquan's arrival at all. He didn't know until the other party patted him on the shoulder.

Liu Qingquan looked up at the wealthy tree in the test site, with lush branches and lush leaves. Then he looked at the livestock eating leisurely grass, walked over and pulled up a dry bamboo grass, pulled off a leaf, and put it in his mouth to chew it. It tasted a bit sweet grass roots and was not bitter. No wonder these cattle and sheep were so happy.

"Boss, look, this is biodiesel, transparent golden color, comparable to the best diesel!" Shuiwa handed Liu Qingquan the small glassware filled with golden liquid, and said excitedly.

Liu Qingquan took the vessel and first approached his nose to smell it. There was no odor of oil extracts, but it had a faint fragrance unique to vegetable oil.

Dip a little with your fingers and rub it gently, it will be greasy and smooth, and it will not irritate to the skin.

"Well! It's really a very good biofuel!" Liu Qingquan put down the vessel and nodded for sure.

"Boss, can we negotiate with the government as soon as possible and seize the time. As it is summer now and there is a lot of precipitation, hurry up and sow seeds!" With the affirmation of the boss whom I have always admired, Shuiwa was extremely excited and wanted to go to the Loess Plateau to sow seeds immediately. Then in one month, the Loess Plateau will become a green ocean.

Wherever the poor people happily grazed cattle and sheep, waiting for the golden liquid on the wealth tree to bring wealth. People can have a happy New Year during the New Year, and the young men can marry beautiful wives...

"Before the promotion, there is still something to do!" Liu Qingquan thought about it and said.

"What job? I think the dry bamboo grass and money trees are now perfect, and there is no need to make any improvements!" Shui Wa asked in confusion.

"I know they are all perfect, but Shuiwa, you must have forgotten one thing, that is, to use gene locks on them!" Liu Qingquan thought of it as a gene lock.

The so-called gene lock is not the limitation of locking various superpowers mentioned in the novel, but is a common method of product confidentiality in the international community. That is, the genetically modified species you have developed are not able to introduce your genetic combination method through product reverse.

Or restrict or amplify certain functions of genetically modified organisms to achieve their desired goals, such as restricting the fertility genes of genetically modified organisms. Others cannot continue to plant the crop by retaining seeds. They must continue to buy seeds from you, so that you can earn a huge profit by selling seeds.

Now basically all rice seeds, corn seeds, soybean seeds, etc. are products of the first generation. They have been genetically locked and can only reproduce for one generation. Farmers can only continue to buy expensive seeds from seed companies, and they have no right to choose what they plant.

"Mr. Liu, how come you have money? Do you still want to make money through this? Those farmers are all poor and careless!" Shuiwa stared at Liu Qingquan with red eyes. He could not accept that Liu Qingquan wanted to exploit the poor fellow villagers in his hometown through the results he had worked hard to study.

"Haha! Shuiwa, where did you think of me? Are I that kind of person? Listen to me first!" Liu Qingquan saw Shuiwa's red eyes and understood what Shuiwa was thinking and patted his shoulder.

"Me~~I, boss, I know you are not that kind of person, but isn't it just to continuously exploit farmers!" Shuiwa naturally knows the gene lock of grain seeds. Those seed companies make a lot of money every year by selling seeds.

"Who said that gene locking must be used to exploit farmers. What I do is to better protect the interests of farmers? Think about it! If the things we have worked hard to do not be used to protect them, then those foreign institutions will be able to research all the technologies immediately."

"At that time, they will further improve and develop better products to eliminate our products. By that time, farmers will be able to be slowly exploited by them. Now that we add genetic locks, foreigners will not be able to research them for a while. We can give them to farmers at low prices or even free prices, and foreigners will sell high prices to subsidize them. This is really for them to consider."

"What's more, if our technology does not provide lock-up protection, everyone around the world can study it. However, when there are many people, the competition in the market will be extremely fierce. Bio-oil prices will definitely plummet, and farmers still cannot get benefits. Do you think you want to use genetic lock-up?" Liu Qingquan hurriedly said his considerations.

This practice is an internationally common practice, which locks and protects the genetic technology you have developed, restricts other people's research, makes huge profits by selling it at high prices internationally, and vigorously provides various agricultural subsidies to the country to ensure the development of the country's agriculture at a loss.

Shuiwa was stunned when she heard the full answer. She was just considering helping people in her hometown get rich and changing the serious soil erosion problem on the Loess Plateau. She did not consider other problems at all. If she really wanted to operate like this, she might have various problems.

"I'm sorry, boss, I blamed you wrongly!" Shuiwa looked like a child who made a mistake.
