Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 623 The Omen of the Great Trough

"Dr. Wang, I may need your help in synthesizing food. If it is only to synthesize organic matter that can be digested by humans, I can do it now, and even the yield per unit area is ten to twenty times that of corn." , but this type of food, for humans, can only be regarded as a guarantee that humans will not starve to death.

In terms of taste... It can only be said that it is not as good as pig food. If it is only to deal with famine in a short period of time, this is indeed feasible, but the desertification of the earth's surface is an inevitable and irreversible process. It is difficult to carry out this level of transformation on the surface of the planet, and there will be no resources invested in the control of desertification in the future.

And as a kind of food that needs to be eaten for a long time, what I can now rely on insects and fungi to produce are obviously substandard.

The happiness of human life is highly correlated with their work enthusiasm and subjective initiative. Imagine that you have to eat a work meal like pig food after a tiring day at work. What will happen? Are you motivated to work?Even if you can guarantee that you can eat enough, I'm afraid you should just dawdle as much as possible!

So I need to carry out secondary fermentation of these foods, and in this process, a large number of micro-robots are required to regularly remove the bacteria in the fermented petri dishes. This is not something that chemicals can do, because I synthesized Fungi are inherently very unstable, and they will mutate in three to five generations during the cultivation process. A cheap micro-machine is needed to mix with them to eliminate these mutated communities in real time.

The volume of this type of micro-machines does not need to be too small, as long as they can achieve a diameter of microns. The key problem is that they need to be able to replicate themselves, so as to minimize costs.

And I already have a genome that can replicate itself, what is missing is a shell made of nanomaterials, I hope to cooperate with you to complete this joint project, preferably within three years As a result, although I am not a professional, but according to my speculation, the future famine may be in the near future.

Now due to the panic development of human beings, the earth's climate has gradually become chaotic, and various extreme climates are appearing more and more frequently. Any natural disaster may lead to a serious reduction in food production. As a Wallfacer, I may not be qualified , but I think at least I can use my own resources to be a qualified biologist. "

Wang Miao nodded: "Then, we are comrades!" Then he stretched out his hand, and the two held hands together, but neither of them knew what the other was thinking.

Sophon has been monitoring the conversation between the two of them. Trisolarans didn't see anything wrong, but the members of eto felt that there were many things hidden in the process of these conversations, but they couldn't analyze them for a while because of insufficient information.

The Wall Breaker against Lan Nuo is also in a state of desperation at this time. It seems that Lan Nuo is really borrowing his current huge power to assist his scientific research. It is impossible to see what he has hidden plan?

As for the Planetary Defense Council, it has also given great support to Lan Nuo's synthetic food project.Garning, the rotating chairman of the Planetary Defense Council this time, welcomed Lan Nuo enthusiastically, which was much more enthusiastic than when facing other Wallfacers. …

"If the other Wallfacers can be like you, then I can probably live another ten years."

"Haha, I can't just let you live for another ten years. Believe me, you will definitely see the cheapness of longevity medicine in your lifetime." Lan Nuo's self-confidence is quite contagious.

"I do believe this. In fact, according to the information I have received, the longevity medicine that can work on humans has actually been developed! You have been suppressing the results and not publishing them, those old guys are about to die of anxiety."

"Let them wait a little longer." Lan Nuo shook his head: "To produce longevity medicine for them now, the resources that each person needs to consume are enough to train thousands of children in remote areas to become high-level intellectuals, but ...not that there can be exceptions, you can have those old guys who are dying of life fill out a few application forms.

I can give priority to important scientists, people who have made great contributions to mankind, and configure their own longevity medicine in advance. You know, the cost of the current longevity medicine cannot be suppressed. The biggest key is that everyone's Genetic adjustment requires sequencing their genes and then making targeted adjustments. This process not only requires a lot of money, but also requires me to do it myself. Others in my team have not learned it yet, so I can’t accept it for the time being. for this item.

The thing that consumes the most energy for me now is to simplify the relevant technology to the extent that pigs can learn it, but it seems that it will take a little time so far. "

"You are finally willing to relax the requirements. On behalf of human beings, I would like to express my gratitude to you. In fact, if you do not relax the requirements, many scientists can only choose to enter hibernation. Although it seems that hibernation does not cause any harm to the human body, but for I am afraid that the brain will still have a certain impact. This is a major loss for scientists, and even for the entire human civilization. Moreover, the cost of hibernation is relatively high today. Many people who have made major contributions , In fact, they can't afford the expensive hibernation consumption.

To be honest, you are the only one among the five Wallfacers who is helping us make money. Dr. Luo Ji is the one who consumes the least resources besides you. Even so, the resources he consumes are equivalent to tens of millions of dollars , while the other three Wallfacers each consumed hundreds of times more resources than Dr. Luo Ji.

If it weren't for your project, many bigwigs in the business and political circles gave us a lot of donations, and it would be really difficult for me to maintain the operation of the council. "The tired expression on Garning's face really doesn't look like he's telling a lie.

"Haha! I'm not suitable to be a Wallfacer. You see, the direction of my research is related to people's livelihood. If I still only spend money and can't make money, it means that my work has completely failed. up.

Although it is suspected of drawing cakes like this, but believe me, if the next project is successful, the Planetary Defense Council will no longer be short of funds. After all, it is a project to solve the problem of feeding people all over the world, and I have already Got some clues.

I think, in today's deteriorating natural environment, there should be nothing more important than solving the food problem, isn't it? "...

"That's right. In fact, the United Nations has carried out relevant scientific research work long before the implementation of the Wallfacer project, but the progress has been very slow. Well... Although it is not appropriate to say this, the current achievements of those scientists , it seems that the phased results you submitted last month are not as effective, if you need, I can contact and transfer these people to your project." Garning said happily.

"That would be great. In fact, I just had better luck. In terms of genetics, luck is actually an important factor in determining the progress of research. It is very important for us to choose the right group among many gene combinations. It's like buying a lottery ticket, and my luck has always been very good."

Lan Nuo's explanation only made Garning smile, this time it was the kind of smile of someone facing the wall. Someone had already arranged for Lan Nuo's physical test before, and it was concluded that his brain development was far away. Beyond ordinary people, the ability to control the body is also incredible. It can easily break the records of various Olympic Games. The brain can also perform high-speed calculations like a computer, and has the ability to never forget.

If it was said that he was able to achieve scientific research results because of luck, Garning would never believe it.

The two came to the formal conference hall, and the next topic was the discussion on the issue of artificially synthesized food. Although the plans of the Wallfacers are relatively free, for some plans with a huge investment cost, they must go through Review of the Planetary Defense Council.

For example, Ray Diaz's super hydrogen bomb needs such an audit before it can be developed. With an equivalent of [-] million tons, the funds required are undoubtedly extremely huge.

Compared with the history of the original book, the number of super hydrogen bombs made by Rey Diaz is even more, almost double that of the original book. This kind of situation is actually what Lan Nuo used to him.

The economic benefits brought by the study of longevity medicine are world-class. There are too many big shots behind the scenes who control the world. In order to obtain the longevity medicine earlier, a large amount of investment has been invested in this project. Compared with the original book, the funds for the book are much more generous, and many of these funds are cheaper than the other three Wallfacers.

Among the three, except for Taylor's plan which is not very helpful for the future development of mankind, the other two have made great contributions to mankind's fight against Trisolarans. They squander.

This time the plan review went very smoothly. Lan Nuo’s plan, on the surface, does not seem to have any problems. It is a very standard scientific research project, and has achieved phased results. Not a Wallfacer, as long as you throw out your project, countless people will come to invest.

The meeting in front of me has turned into a gluttonous feast for the right to invest. Everyone can see that if this artificial food technology is realized, it will bring huge benefits when combined with the controllable nuclear fusion that is about to be completed. The threat of people is like the sword of Damocles, hanging above everyone's head, but the benefits in front of them can still attract the attention of countless people, making them gather like sharks smelling blood. …

Although Garning's expression was very serious, with the traditional Russian style of tough guy painting, but hearing the investment quotation like an auction, he felt ecstasy in his heart.

Lan Nuo won so much funding, not only for his own project, but also to make the Wall-Facing Project last longer. In the original book, the Wall-Facing Project ended without a problem after the big trough.

On the one hand, it is because human beings have gradually calmed down, and the fear of Trisolarans has begun to decline over time; Various aspects restrict the rights of the Wallfacers, especially when Taylor commits suicide and Ray Diaz prepares to take the solar system to die together, not only the human government, but even the people themselves have fear and fear for the Wallfacers. The emotion of disgust eventually led to the plan's existence in name only.

But this time, the wall-facing project brought more than bad results. Now people all over the world are waiting for the appearance of the longevity medicine. The naked eye can see that the technology of the longevity medicine is constantly improving, and the cost is constantly falling. , This is a tangible benefit for everyone, and it also makes the Wallfacer project really bring benefits to everyone, so even if some Wallfacers have done too much and are exposed, there is Lan Nuo standing here, It can be like a pillar of Optimus, pushing the plan to continue.

And this is undoubtedly of great help to the fight against Trisolarans. As the new plan was put into research and development, Dr. Wang Miao also participated in the process of the plan.

The artificial food plan is advancing steadily. With Lan Nuo as the experienced leader, there are almost no bottlenecks in the process of technology development. Every time there is a problem, Lan Nuo can find a solution to the problem immediately, just like I have tried countless times, some are the result of Lan Nuo relying on rehearsals and trying again and again, and some are the result of Lan Nuo relying on his incomparably rich experience, he has solved countless similar problems, and he can find out at a glance found a solution.

The entire project is open, and people all over the world can learn about the progress of the project through the Internet. However, when the project has been promoted to 80.00%, and it is close to success, natural disasters finally came. It was a very violent El Niño phenomenon, and the world In the most critical season of crop growth, there was an unprecedented severe drought in important grain-producing areas around the world. There was no drop of rain for two consecutive months, resulting in no harvest in many important grain-producing areas around the world.

Although countries have food reserves, not every country puts food security in one of the most important positions like big countries. Many countries rely entirely on food imports to maintain domestic needs. Descriptions vary, the real famine erupted from a Middle Eastern country.

They who once mastered oil have never been short of money, nor are they short of funds to import food. For a long time, in order to get rid of food imports, they have invested a lot of money to subsidize desert planting, but in the end, because of cost issues, the output It has dropped to one percent of its peak period.

And with this current outbreak, all countries lack food. Even if they have money, some things cannot be bought, and too many people have gathered in the barren desert, and the increasingly scarce food reserves, in the A terrible crisis is brewing in the panic.

The progress of the food synthesis technology is still short of the last point, the cost has not been completely reduced, but the crisis has already broken out, and Lan Nuo's project is now almost regarded by people all over the world as their life-saving straw.
