“Xiaocheng, will your biological evolution project continue?”
Although Cheng Yongxing does not participate in the daily review of projects, he is always required to go through super large projects.
“Go on? Why not go on?”
“Let’s take a look, this is a plan submitted from various places.”
“Can you still make a decision on such a small project?”
Although he said so, he still accepted the thick document.
The document was obviously divided into two parts, and some reported budgets ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The other part is a ten million start.
“Gene!”
After watching for a while, Cheng Yongxing could see the way.
“Yes! This group of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, is here to cheat money. They don’t even know what strains they use to do experiments. Many research institutes can’t send their salaries, and the money is taken away. Drifted.”
Professor Li from the Department of Biology was invited to explain.
The main investment direction of the basic fund is physics and chemistry. This is the first biological project. Outsiders may not know its meaning, but after hearing about it, the hairs of the Department of Biology all stand up.
The changes that have taken place in the Department of Semiconductors and Physics over the past year are well known. Especially in the Department of Physics, since the discovery of iron-based superconductivity, weird iron-based superconducting compounds have continued to emerge. International papers that were once difficult to reach the sky are now flying in the sky.
For this project, the Department of Biology is determined to win.
“Even those ten million are not guaranteed!
Xiaocheng, don’t forget it. Species evolution is a hypothesis, is it worth the cost? ”
Professor Zhang quit by the side. The superconducting laboratory, which has produced countless results, has a construction budget of less than 10 million yuan. The total amount of funds is so much. If you spend more over there, it will naturally be less here.
Is it forbidden to spend hundreds of millions of dollars?
Electronic Collider, try the last one!
Deep space radio telescope, try the last one!
“If the funds are paid in full, when will the experiment be completed?”
Realizing the problem, Cheng Yongxing needs to recalculate the cost-benefit ratio.
“It depends on luck. If you use the method of inducing gene mutation, the time is completely uncontrollable. If you use the model of gene editing, 20 million will not be able to stop.”
The budget of the Biology Department program is 20 million.
“Regardless of money, can it be completed before the end of 1995?”
The compositional evolution paper was published in 1996.
“It is possible, but there is danger. Genes are also new to us. We have to explore which genes play what role.”
Although Professor Li very much hopes to win this project, he still tells the truth.
The meeting room quickly calmed down, and in the expectant eyes, only the voice of young people quietly reading through the documents.

“The project will be changed to the next mode, we will take two steps.”
After some thinking, Cheng Yongxing decided to terminate this project.
When it was started, one was to falsify the theory of evolution, adding some light to one’s own aura, and the other was to accelerate the development of science and technology.
The theory of constitutional evolution is not a very influential doctrine, even if a paper is taken away, it is of little significance. Just do nothing, the paper will come out in 1996. At that time, go to the platform by yourself and beat the side drums, with the same effect.
“Which two steps?”
“The first step is for each participating project team to prove that they have the ability to edit and modify genes.”
“How can you prove it? Each family doesn’t even have the basic conditions.”
“The applicant for this project is not the Institute of Biology, or the University of Agriculture. The method of self-certification is to make several plans for genetically modified seeds.”
Cheng Yongxing held the application materials of Forestry University and Dongnong University in his hand.
“Genetically modified seeds?”
Genetically modified seeds are a brand new term. The first application of genetic modification in agriculture appeared in 1996.
“Rewrite the project plan. Write it according to familiar fields. If you are familiar with corn, write corn, and if you are familiar with wheat, write wheat. Then we will choose a few more companies to support. After they prove themselves, we will move on to the next stage.”
“Okay, but what shall we do?”
In terms of breeding, the Department of Biology involves most Chinese herbal medicines.
“You can cooperate with the Provincial Agricultural University, and the two sides have complementary advantages. The project investment is so large, it is not realistic to win all of them. Other participants can also jointly bid.”
In the agricultural sector, there is no concept of genetic breeding at all. Genetic breeding was not accepted by China until the end of the century. It was applied to cotton for the first time.
————————
If it hadn’t been for this kind of thing, Cheng Yongxing would have almost forgotten the big discussion about the safety of genetically modified foods.
The well-known discussion involving countless celebrities was huge. Cheng Yongxing watched indifferently abroad and had a different experience.
The dispute over the safety of genetically modified food seems to be a dispute between science and superstition, but behind it is a dispute over interests.
There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.
No matter what you do, you need money.
Behind the anti-nuclear energy is the oil developer, and behind the Hong Kong anti-reclamation and anti-development of agricultural land environmental protection organizations, the funders are real estate developers.
Whether GM technology is safe or not is a question of the same nature as whether or not to use pesticides or fertilizers.
The real reason for China’s anti-gene food is to protect the domestic seed industry!
Including the hybrid rice that we are proud of, it is vulnerable to genetic modification (see the golden rice incident). Genetically modified soybeans appeared in the United States in 1997. Since then, China’s soybean industry has suffered a complete failure.
Without the lithography machine, China is just pulled out and beaten twice from time to time. What would happen if there is no seed industry?
Therefore, when China’s own genetically modified seeds come out, when genetically modified foods will be safe.
Now, genetically modified breeding is on the eve of an outbreak. What this industry needs is nothing more than capital.
What can compete with IT profits is not only drugs, but also biology!

“Do so many things just for a bacterial experiment?”
Professor Zhang didn’t understand the truth at all.
After some discussion, the funding for biological projects has not been reduced, but has increased substantially. At this point, the amount of investment is rushing to the 100 million mark.
“Of course. Lao Zhang, you are engaged in physics, studying the origin of the world from the particle level, and we are studying the origin of man from the biological level. We have reached the same goal by different paths!”
With this batch of genetic equipment, the Department of Biology will be able to change shotguns and publish some papers. It shouldn’t be too simple.
