Soon everyone's electric car drove to the main control equipment room of this greenhouse, and everyone came down to visit the various control equipment and operating methods.

The entire greenhouse is actually a large room with a large steel structure as the main body. The glass stone installed between the steel structure frames has been specially treated glass. Each piece of glass has about four square meters of large pieces, and each piece of large glass can be adjusted through the main control switch.

The main control equipment room is a very ordinary room, about 100 square meters, which is not much different from an ordinary work room. Several staff members are on duty and can understand the operation of their greenhouses through the images hanging on the LCD screen on the wall. Once any abnormality is found, they can respond immediately. For example, they can use radio equipment to contact the inspectors to deal with it, or they can be dispatched to solve it themselves.

It can be said that this is the application of a modern building management model in terms of planting.

"In any of our greenhouses, there are similar equipment. The overall planting situation can be returned to the information processing center of the headquarters through feedback between the equipment, providing a basis for our work decisions." Yang Shimin introduced to everyone.

In fact, the degree of automation here is quite high. Jiang Feng gave Yang Shimin great autonomy and also provided her with technological conveniences. With the semi-idealized design, Yang Shimin finally created a huge industrial base.

Even within the world, this planting base cannot be said to be behind others, especially the scale here is very large and has entered actual use, which is even more difficult for others to compare.

Going further forward, you will arrive at the base's research center. This is also an important core department of the entire base.

The Jiang Consortium's planting base research center in the northeast was built at the innermost part of the base, covering an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, but in fact the building area is much larger. The foundation of more than 20 stories has been put into use, and there are about thousands of technicians and experts working in it.

"You actually have such a big research center?" Lin Ruiyu said with some emotion.

Although I have always known that Jiang Feng's career has been very good, and I have been to various provinces and cities in China, especially important cities like Mingzhu and Beijing, and even branches in the United States, Europe, Africa, etc., but I never thought that there were such a large-scale planting base and research center in the Northeast. Lin Ruiyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that behind successful people, there are always many hard work that others cannot see.

"That's just use it." Jiang Feng didn't say anything.

After everyone entered together, they arrived at the top of the research center building, which is also the location of the overall control center of the entire base. Generally speaking, all important work is distributed from here.

"What is your main research direction? You need so many people?" Lin Ruiyu asked curiously.

Jiang Feng replied: "The main thing is food safety issues. You know, the problem of genetically modified foods is hotter now, so we mainly do some work from this aspect."

"GMO food?" Lin Ruiyu nodded, saying that he had heard of some.

In order to improve the nutritional value of agricultural products and produce food faster and more efficiently, scientists use genetic modification methods to change the genetic information of organisms and combine new genes, so that future crops have high nutritional, storage resistance, disease and pest resistance and herbicide resistance. New genetically modified foods are constantly produced.

There are many plant-based genetically modified foods, such as bread production requires wheat with high protein content, while current wheat varieties contain low protein, so the highly expressed protein genes will be transferred to wheat. The bread will have better baking performance.

For example, tomatoes are a kind of nutritious and highly economical fruit and vegetable, but they are not resistant to storage. In order to solve the storage problem of tomatoes, researchers have found that the enzyme gene that controls the synthesis of plant aging hormone ethylene is an important gene that causes plant aging. If the expression of this gene can be inhibited by genetic engineering methods, the biosynthesis of the senescence hormone ethylene will be controlled, and the tomatoes will not easily become soft and rot.

Through hard work, many scientists from the United States, China and other countries have cultivated new tomato varieties. This tomato is anti-aging, softening, storage-resistant, and can be transported for long distances, which can reduce waste in processing, production and transportation.

There are many types of animal genetically modified foods, such as human genes are transferred into the body of cattle. The milk produced by cows when they grow up contains gene drugs, which can be used for the treatment of human diseases after extraction. The human auxin gene is transferred into the pig genome, and the pig's growth rate has doubled and the pork quality has been greatly improved. Now such pork has been invited to the table in Australia.

Genetically modified foods are products created using new technologies and are also a new thing. People naturally have questions about the safety of eating genetically modified foods.

In fact, the first person to raise this question publicly was Professor Pipite from the Rotte Institute of Aberdeen, England. In 1998, he found in his research that eating genetically modified potatoes will damage the internal organs and immune systems. This attracted great attention from the scientific community. Immediately, the Royal Society of the United Kingdom reviewed the report and announced in May 1999 that the study was "full of loopholes". In 1999, the authoritative British scientific journal Nature published a discussion by John Rossi, a professor at Cornell University in the United States, pointing out that the field insects such as butterfly larvae will develop poorly after eating vegetable leaves with some kind of genetically modified corn pollen, and the mortality rate is particularly high. There is still some evidence to point out the potential dangers of genetically modified foods.

However, more scientists' experiments have shown that genetically modified foods are safe. Scientists who agree with this view believe that any genetically modified food has conducted a large number of scientific experiments before it is launched. The country and the government have relevant laws and regulations to restrict it. Scientists also have a very rigorous attitude towards academic research. In addition, farmers will use pesticides to ensure quality when planting traditional crops, while some genetically modified foods that are resistant to diseases and insects do not need to be sprayed with pesticides. Also, whether a food will cause poisoning depends mainly on whether it has receptors in the human body and whether it can be metabolized. The transformed genes are screened and have clear functions, so genetically modified ingredients will not accumulate in the human body and will not be harmful.

For example, the insect-resistant corn we cultivated transfers into the corn a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis, which can only cause the death of Lepidoptera insects because only Lepidoptera insects have specific receptors for proteins encoded by this gene, while humans and other animals and insects do not have such receptors, so they have no toxic effects.

In 1993, the OECD (OECD) first proposed the principle of evaluation of genetically modified foods - the principle of "substantive equality", that is, if the types and contents of various main nutrients, main anti-nutrients, toxic substances and allergic ingredients of genetically modified foods are analyzed and determined, and there is no difference from similar traditional foods, it is believed that the two are substantially equal and there is no safety problem; if there is no substantial equality, safety evaluation needs to be conducted one by one.

In my country, the National Science and Technology Commission promulgated the "Genotechnical Safety Management Measures" in 1993 to guide the national genetic engineering research and development work. In 2000, the State Administration of Environmental Protection and eight relevant departments participated, jointly formulated the "China National Biosafety Framework".

As the issue of genetically modified food becomes increasingly hot, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to genetically modified food, but at the same time, many controversies about genetically modified food have also emerged. More and more opposition voices tell us that there is huge controversy among genetically modified food. With the investigation of genetically modified food by many international scientific research institutions, it has been found that genetically modified food will indeed bring many uncertainties about human health.

Many domestic scholars have also stated that there is huge controversy over GMO food, and GMO does not mean progress! Behind it is even conspiracy related to national security. Many chapters and books such as "Biochemical Super Limit Warfare: Conspiracy of GMO Food and Vaccine") systematically exposes the GMO conspiracy before and after, and some oppositions even describe support for GMO people as a fundamentalist hysteria.

Jiang Feng had no specific opinion on this, and he could not even find any relevant information to testify.

In Lingxijie, there are countless technologies that cross the age, and there are also many technologies in biomedicine. However, Jiang Feng found that these technologies are based on original organisms in nature. There is no technology related to genes, and there is no information on genetic modification technology.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Jiang Feng didn't know why, but he had asked Lingxi Ring, but Lingxi Ring couldn't tell the reason.

In fact, Lingxi Ring now knows not as much as Jiang Feng. What it can explain comes from the records in Lingxi Ring, and Jiang Feng can check all these records.

However, it is precisely because of this strange phenomenon that Jiang Feng is full of doubts about genetic technology, especially genetically modified technology. As Lingxi Ring, which has been leading the era for thousands of years, there is no record in this aspect, and this phenomenon is absolutely abnormal.

In Jiang Feng's opinion, either the genetic technology was eventually completely denied, or the original owner of Lingxijie was extremely disgusted with this technology, so there was no record in Lingxijie.

These two reasons, no matter which one is good news.
