Chapter 208 Potential Food Crisis
The screening of the experimental personnel this time is quite strict. You can't just register just by wanting to register. There are certain requirements for physical fitness, gender, age, mental resistance, and willpower. Generally speaking, it is still biased towards the soldier level, and there are not too many places left for the public, at most only a few dozen.
In order to select qualified testers, you can register through online reporting, and relevant staff will conduct a certain screening from the applicants. The fees are naturally free and will be borne by the Yunhai Government.
Ding Yuan sat in the center of the venue, looking at the crowd actively signing up, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's rare, Lao Ding, it turns out that you can laugh too. I thought you would never laugh!" General Guo Xianfeng, who was sitting next to him, said when he saw the smile on Ding Yuan's face.
"Who would like to have a stern face all day long? Isn't there any way?" Ding Yuan sighed: "When you can laugh, you should smile as much as possible. Otherwise, the name Ding Yuan would become a big bad wolf in the mouth of a child."
To be honest, it has been a long time since he took over the management of Yunhaihao.
There is always a pressure to capsize anytime, anywhere.
These crises not only come from the outside world, but also from the inside. From the beginning of economic system reform, the condensation of people's hearts, anti-corruption incidents, brain insect control, and the White Fog Continent, etc., everything, as long as there is a place that cannot be handled well, internal conflicts will break out. It is not easy to live a better and better life!
Yunhai is just a refuge less than 160,000 people. It does not have a huge resource reserve like its headquarters, nor a powerful arsenal. It even loses contact with other refuges and shelters.
In this case, everything depends on yourself.
Sometimes he was anxious and couldn't sleep at all.
But now, this action seems to prove that even if the Yunhai can survive in the Yanghe River without the resources behind, it can complete its own internal circular economy, and even survive well.
After absorbing the heritage of civilizations in another world, the Yunhai will become stronger and stronger!
This is the most relaxing point!
With the talent and the system gradually improved, what else can I worry about? Only such a society, even if I encounter some setbacks, I have enough confidence to survive.
Thinking of this, Ding Yuan stood up from his position and found Lu Yiming and others: "Xiao Lu, do you have any idea to sign up for the experiment? With your physical standards, it will definitely be the first batch of qualifications. We have to collect the experimental data of superpowers."
"Ah?" Lu Yiming grabbed his hair: "I'll think about it again. I haven't thought about it yet... Haha, although this physical enhancement potion looks pretty good."
"You are free, there is no compulsivity. But if you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait for a long time."
For Ding Yuan and other management teams, the most troublesome problem facing the entire society is actually the food problem.
Not only should we eat enough, but we should also eat well.
After using fortification agents, the third development of the human body requires a lot of excellent protein to supplement nutrition, and it cannot be developed normally by eating a little carbohydrates.
It is necessary to have high-quality protein such as chicken, duck, beef, pork, etc., as well as dietary fiber such as fruits and vegetables, and balanced combinations.
The third development, the increase in appetite of 40%-50% is basically increased on these high-quality foods. Eating some potatoes and rice is not enough. Without enough nutritional ingredients, the physical condition will not be improved.
"The entire development period is only two months, but I have to eat so much meat... If 160,000 people increase the volume by 50%..." An official in charge of food shuddered.
He was simply frightened.
This fact also made Ding Yuan and others feel a little annoyed. Yunhai has no enough space to produce so much high-quality food!
The space of Yunhai is limited, and a large part of it needs to be used for living, as well as scientific research, industry, commerce, and entertainment. These are simply unsavory. The remaining agricultural land, including some rice, potatoes, and some vegetables, is no problem feeding everyone, but it is really difficult to raise a large group of chickens, ducks and geese.
The chicken feed ratio is 2, that is, one portion of meat will be produced after eating two portions of food for a chicken; the pig feed ratio is 3, and one piece of meat will be grown after eating three portions of food. Moreover, the growth of these animals also requires protein and soybean meal. It is difficult to grow meat by eating carbohydrates.
The yield of soybeans is actually not high, and the yield per mu is much less than that of rice, potatoes, etc. The yield per mu is easy to produce a thousand kilograms, while soybeans are only five or six hundred kilograms.
So while Ding Yuan was happy, he became habitually worried. If the demand for meat in 160,000 people increased a lot, it would be terrible!
This means that grain production must be doubled in order to have a large supply of meat.
Once a food crisis breaks out, it will kill people!
But Yunhai is too small, and the grain output cannot double... In the end, there must be a continent to achieve this real goal.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and asked, "Professor, I have a question. When do you think this new human body strengthening biotechnology will eventually be promoted on a large scale? Ahem... we must prepare food. If there is not enough protein, the human body's three developments will not be successful, right? Then everyone will have no food to eat, and that will cause problems."
The professor stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Mr. Ding, this is not urgent. We have considered it. At the beginning, we will only conduct an experiment of 300 people. At least it will take several months to follow up and investigate it to slowly promote it to thousands. After all, this matter involves the safety of the entire Yunhai number, and it cannot be too urgent."
"It's like the first, second and third phases of the vaccine. We must organize data one by one. This is a brand new technology. Even if the intelligent life in the parallel world has explored many ways for us, we still have to be more cautious. We still have to explore the experience that should be explored by ourselves, and we won't fully believe in the literature."
"The supply of meat for hundreds of people should be fine, right?"
Ding Yuan gritted his teeth: "There are still tens of thousands of tons of frozen pork in the freezer, so there is no problem for the time being."
The professor on stage said: "If nothing goes wrong, it will take one to three years to promote it on a large scale."
Ding Yuan breathed a little relieved when he heard that it would take one to three years to promote it. At that time, there might be a new turning point. Now there is only a few hundred people to conduct experiments, and after a little squeeze, there will naturally be no problem in the supply of nutrition.
"Oh, it's a headache."
It's also a worry in happiness...
So on this day, a new era began...
The host on the TV solemnly announced to all the people: This is an era of biological things!
"All college entrance examination candidates are welcome to register for biology!"
Yes, the age of biology has finally come late... Although it came a little late, it finally arrived.
In the past Earth period, people always said that the 21st century was the century of biological life, but over time, this sentence became a not-so-funny joke.
After graduating from a Ph.D. in biology, I couldn’t find a job at all, and it was even a bit difficult to be a doctor. After all, there is still a big difference between biology and medicine. After the human gene sequencing plan is completed, humans still don’t know much about genes; the cure for difficult and complicated diseases such as cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, and ALS, has made a little progress in ten years, but it is not too big...
Until today, with the continuous deciphering of civilization materials in another world, human biological science has suddenly made an unimaginable huge leap!
Many problems that were originally unsolved can be understood all at once. New papers are translated almost every day, and scientists can do it as long as they study.
This civilization in the parallel world, humans named it "White Mist Civilization".
Compared with humans, the other technologies of the Baiwu civilization are actually half a dozen, and the difference is not much, but in the biology project, it is at least 50 years or even a century ahead of humans!
Such a big cake was placed in front of me that the biologists in the Yunhai were knocked out of their heads and were dizzy all day long.
Talent... There are no more talents!
Even with the assistance of cherry blossom potion, the top talents are still not enough.
Various media or TV stations are enthusiastically broadcasting news on this, and even high school students in the school know that this is a biological century.
This major is very popular and has a great future. Everyone is welcome to apply.
Absolutely not bragging!
With the booming development of biology, other industries have also benefited. For example, medicine, various difficult and complicated diseases may be better solved, and the average life expectancy of humans will undoubtedly be extended; human organ printing technology has become more and more mature, and using stem cells to cultivate human organs is no longer a problem.
For example, the emergence of the "Sakura" potion allows experts in various fields to better absorb knowledge. The use of this potion requires strict review, but as long as a small number of geniuses appear, it is enough to take a big step forward in the entire civilization!
In this huge change in the times, Lu Yiming was hesitating whether to sign up for the first "body strengthening agent" experiment.
He was naturally quite moved by physical strengthening. Now he can't beat the soldier Guo Weiqiang, who is under his command, dare not scold him loudly.
But I was a little hesitant. This medicine comes from Baiwu Civilization. Well, it was not developed by myself. From a safety perspective, there was always a little bit uneasy.
In short, these two moods were mixed, making him not sure how to choose.
"Hey, Lily, I have something to ask you." He saw Jin Lily passing by quickly, and quickly greeted him.
"Why do you want to invite me to dinner again?" Jin Lili turned her head and smiled, "I'm very busy! Sister Yuan has some things to do..."
Professor Yuan, who has developed x-enhancing agents, is extremely busy. As a member of the group, Jin Lili works overtime every day and can't see it once every few days.
Chapter completed!
