- Southern Africa is a key area for GSAA's expansion. Several countries are conducting small-scale trials of the company's two genetically modified crops, genetically modified corn and sugarcane. There are currently no plans to market them, so in theory there should be no problems.
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, Chen Xiaojun started shouting from the side: "Are you going to bite back? Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Hearing this, Li Zhuang smiled and said: "Don't draw any conclusions yet. Maybe there was an accident at GSAA. Let's go to the Department of Biology to have a look. I haven't seen Dr. Zheng for a long time. Let's visit a few research institutes by the way."
Arthur was overjoyed, Chen Xiaojun nodded repeatedly, and even Li Meng looked happy. When he went there before, he was not very happy and nervous. This time it was considered a trip, so he had to take a closer look.
When the group arrived at their destination, Zheng Fei was busy. He put down the work at hand and received the visitors. Hearing Li Zhuang mention this strange thing, he was a little puzzled and said that he wanted to investigate and could not give an answer for the time being.
Visitors had no choice but to do the next best thing and let Joronem, the director of the Entomological Research Institute, arrange for people to visit the farms, including the dangerous insects that the director was passionate about, especially the ant farms. Joronem asked his student Yorg Candios to take them around while he continued to work.
Like the teacher, Candios is from Brazil. He is a young man who looks a bit dull but he carries forward the teacher¡¯s hobby. He is an employee of the Biochemical Beast Research Institute, but he is still staying in the biology department. He will not move to the Biochemical Beast Research Institute with the Biochemical Insect Laboratory until after New Year's Day next year. Li Zhuang was familiar with him because people were often brought to the laboratory he was in charge of for questioning.
¡°Boss, we have newly developed a super bullet ant that is three times more toxic than the original species. Do you want to go and have a look?¡± Candios asked in a low voice.
Li Zhuang shook his head slowly. The young man was very disappointed, but the chairman's subsequent words made him happy again, "Do it well, molecular computer, don't worry, pay attention to safety."
This is substantial support. Candios knows that his job is still within the sight of the company bosses and the future will not be difficult. Li Zhuang will not give up the development of biological weapons. Even if he acts as an ostrich, he cannot prevent other forces from expanding in this field. Only by knowing the details can he take better precautions.
There are fifteen research institutes under the Department of Biology. If calculated in terms of area and number of people, it is the company's third largest R&D institution, far exceeding the scale originally planned by Sun Guobao. It is all caused by money. There are some unusual things here, including mini animals and strange plants. It is self-sufficient and has the ability to expand further.
Everyone was in high spirits, but Candios didn¡¯t have enough time to be a tour guide, so he had to leave sadly. Arthur was quite sorry that the scope of activities in Lizhuang was getting smaller and smaller. He didn't know if he would have the opportunity to visit these places in the future.
Zheng Fei was so busy that he forgot that Li Zhuang didn't call him because Xia Yuande found out the details. After listening to what the handsome guy said, the computer expert couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Does a good reputation have any side effects?
There were not many black researchers at United Technologies in the beginning, but there were outstanding ones of every race, even in the poorest places in Africa. Although Li Zhuang felt that some people were a burden, he never thought of going to extremes, because the lineage theory was untenable, as evidenced by the fact that there is no forever strong family in the world.
Sun Guobao¡¯s student Emilio Taivo is from Mozambique and can be regarded as one of the teacher¡¯s successors in botany. This guy later changed his career to business and became an outstanding big businessman. In this regard, he was not a bit better than his somewhat weird teacher.
Taiwo left Weizhou and returned to China during the company¡¯s second adjustment. He founded a trading company in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, which mainly helped the company purchase high-quality agricultural products. Later, it expanded into Taivo Group, which integrates science, industry and trade. Taiwo Group is mainly engaged in scientific agriculture and agricultural technical services, and has a cooperative relationship with the Department of Biology. It produces basically pollution-free agricultural products, with less green food. It mainly supplies middle- and high-income people and internal consumption.
Before United Technologies entered the country on a large scale, Mozambique was one of the poorest countries in the world. To describe it as "extremely poor" is not an exaggeration. Companies like to cultivate markets. This type of market is the most reliable. Although it consumes energy and money, success also means a firm alliance and exclusive demand, and can reduce conflicts with big forces.
In addition to the Taivo Group, the company has also cultivated a number of groups involved in all aspects of Mozambique, but basically does not participate in the political struggle in Mozambique. Except for the technical and financial support that Emilio Taivo can get from the company, everything else is blank. However, it is undeniable that his background in Wisconsin is a plus, and his opponents are a little scrupulous and dare not harm his life.
The company¡¯s groups all have wholly-owned or joint venture companies in Mozambique, and there is no tax evasion. Alta Education Foundation has invested heavily in establishing numerousPrimary and secondary schools and vocational and technical colleges help Mozambique improve educational standards and prepare employees for localization.
In recent years, Mozambique has swelled like a balloon. Its three major industries have flourished and the national income level has greatly increased. Taivo Group has grown accordingly and expanded across the country. Mozambique has good natural conditions, and there is a reason why the Portuguese took a fancy to this place. It has many local specialties such as cashew nuts. Weizhou imports a large amount of agricultural products every year.
Mozambique is rich in mineral resources. The company's mineral group wgm and materials group have developed mines locally and established environmentally friendly smelters. Most of the finished products are exported to Weizhou, and a small part is sold to various countries in southern Africa.
Agriculture is Mozambique¡¯s pillar industry. Corn, potatoes and wheat are the staple foods. However, the yield of rice is now not low, and some people rely on rice as their staple food. Among cash crops, sugarcane is the most important raw material for the sugar industry. The Department of Biology has entrusted the Taiwo Group to test-plant genetically modified corn and sugarcane for four years to collect necessary data and verify the design plan.
Emilio Taivo specializes in corn research. The director of Taivo Group¡¯s sugarcane research institute also studied in Weizhou. His philosophy is consistent with that of Weizhou. He is very confident in these two fertile and lightly genetically modified varieties. They are selected from thousands of options.
The new corn varieties from the Department of Biology are very different from conventional corn, have good taste, and have a yield 30% higher. This trial planting is mainly corn. The corn experimental field covers an area of ??about 800 acres and is growing well. Taiwo is well-known in the country. Farmers often see him wandering around the fields. From time to time, he breaks open the corn cobs to have a look and taste. Sometimes he is too lazy to go back and a group of people take the corn in the experimental field as their staple food.
"Look, Dr. Taiwo must be lying. He deliberately said they were genetically modified. As far as I know, United Technologies has never launched genetically modified crops. When they are mature, we will pick some seeds and go back." Someone came up with a crooked idea. and put it into practice.
Absolute selflessness and non-prejudice are a political joke. AIDS is rampant in southern Africa, and poor people must be hateful. There is a government like the people. Corruption is rampant in Mozambique. Most people have no sense of responsibility, are lazy by nature, and often become thieves. Being poor is not accidental, even if there is a rich land.
This group of people are usually too lazy to use their brains, but thieves are very good at pretending to be present. Taiwo was puzzled by the large number of wild boars. He did not expect it to be a man-made scene. It was only when things got serious that he discovered that the newly planted corn had spread.
"Well, this is the fact, but it was used by others. In fact, we cannot be blamed. It was those people who asked for it." Xia Yuande added after saying: "Some people will say that the people are innocent."
Li Zhuang said disdainfully: "Does it make sense to be innocent or not? They can't do anything to us now. Are they playing condemnation? Sanctions? A sea of ????people? Or are they playing nuclear war?"
"Haha, I am not afraid of the human sea, but not the nuclear war. We currently do not have the ability to colonize Mars." Xia Yuande said with a smile: "I don't know if I can live on Mars before I die. That would be a great joy in life. , unlike someone who thinks about the fallen leaves returning to their roots all day long, and is full of traditional thoughts, haha! Hey, your wine is good, it belongs to me, and I will bring some local products back to you next time."
After seeing off the happy handsome guy, Li Zhuang shook his head and didn't know what to say. His warehouse and wine cabinet were full of uncommon things, but for the sake of his health, he rarely ate or drank randomly. These were all cheaper for Xia Yuan De, Zhang Kai, Da Mian and other people who love life.
Everyone is busy with their own affairs. The construction of lunar bases is a hot topic at the moment. The issue of genetically modified foods has not been expanded for the time being. The public's eyes are fixed on the moon.
After the lmb base welcomed new residents, the construction progress accelerated. Compared with NASA's "Alpha" base, this base, which was selected later, uses a full range of robots. The astronauts are relaxed and happy, and they perform their duties. The cave dwelling is expanding, and the efficiency of the construction robot is slightly lower than designed. Fortunately, the impact is not significant. They reported to the ground that they have the ability to complete the construction of a liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen production plant within five years. In the future, large cargo warehouses can take off and land directly on the moon without worrying about pollution and fuel.
There is water on the moon, and it can be extracted for domestic, industrial, and aerospace purposes. The LMB base demonstrated the water extraction facilities, production processes, and finished products. The questions that the audience in front of the TV had been guessing about before were easily solved. The three-person geological and geographical team took a six-legged lunar rover to explore everywhere and discovered many usable water sources, and exchanged information with NASA and RSA.
Six astronauts from the "Alfa" base and four astronauts from the "Gagarin" base visited the LMB base and stayed for two days before leaving reluctantly. For the first time, twenty-eight earthlings gathered together on the moon. The grand occasion was something I had never imagined before. The complete living facilities and large space make ten colleagues very envious of their colleagues who live and work at the LMB base. It is easy to talk about "people-oriented", but being on the moon means huge financial investment.
??The Jinghai base plan was replaced by the Yunhai base, which was mainly for mining and closer to the Antarctic base. There are only plans for the Imbrium base for the time being, and the establishment of the Arctic base has not changed. Three or four bases are connected in a line.
These are relatively distant topics, and the top priority is to investigate the area near Antarctica. The geological and geographical survey team is tasked with another task: looking for abnormal clues. They are protected by two six-legged reconnaissance combat robots equipped with complete detection instruments.
What technology will aliens use? Common optical invisibility, radar invisibility, infrared invisibility, magnetic invisibility and acoustic invisibility are within the range that earth technology can handle at this stage. The reconnaissance combat robot is equipped with a full set of precision instruments developed by the company, many of which are at the level of science fiction in the eyes of ordinary people. . The lunar space station is equipped with ion cannons, reconnaissance combat robots, lunar probes, lunar space stations, bases and astronauts form a large network, with the base's intelligent brain ae9912 coordinating in the center.
The well-equipped investigation team went as far as the edge of the sea of ??clouds, but found no obvious abnormalities and the logistics could not keep up, so they had to return. The moon revealed all sorts of unusual features. Colleagues at the "Alfa" and "Gagarin" bases reported new discoveries. Internal videos made the asa management a little nervous. Therefore, in October and December, two more supply spacecraft were launched to Two astronauts with combat experience and a large amount of supplies were sent to the lmb base.
The Standard Expedition Combat Team completed the investigation mission before Christmas, and it proved to be a false alarm. The report to the company management was "There are traces, but it has been a long time ago. Maybe the alien bones are still there, and we have to keep looking." !¡±
Chen Deqi, the commander-in-chief of the lunar base project, laughed and told them to withdraw their vacation. After New Year's Day, a full set of detection equipment that was thought to be a waste of money came in unexpected use, but it was a tragedy. It seemed that people on earth could never get rid of the double-edged sword when used on the same kind of people.
The origin of the trouble was still the "accidental spread of genetically modified corn case" that was considered by the management to be no big deal. It was deliberately amplified. The company's large-scale expansion in southern Africa and the establishment of the South African Department of the Ministry of Security for self-protection were completely exposed. There was an uproar and a war broke out.
The three parties on the moon live in harmony, but countless forces on Earth are fighting in Africa. They are all so-called "mercenaries" and use high-tech weapons. The vigorous battle lasted for nearly a year, until large-scale viral infections appeared again around the world. At this point, there was no doubt about the existence of genetic weapons.
