When Wu Hao and the others arrived at the Biological and Life Sciences Research Center, Qin Yongchuan, Fang Renzheng, Yang Fang and the others were already waiting at the door to greet them.
Upon seeing this, Wu Hao quickly walked towards Qin Yongchuan, smiled and held the other person's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, how can I let you greet me at the door? Our company does not like this."
Haha, how long has it been since you came? What's wrong with me going to the door to greet you? Qin Yongchuan looked at Wu Hao and said kindly: "Is the matter settled?"
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "The little things have been taken care of."
That's good, let's go in and talk. Qin Yongchuan led Wu Hao.
Okay, Wu Hao nodded to the other people who greeted him, and then walked in. The entire hall suddenly appeared in front of them. I have to say that this hall is so unique. With the overall appearance of a clean white color full of science fiction. But it is
There are many strange and weird plants blooming, decorating the entire hall into a dreamy garden. As soon as you walk in, it feels like you have entered spring.
There are various green plants, vines, trees, and colorful flowers, as well as the very clear sound of running water, butterflies dancing among the flowers, etc.
This scene also caused the group of people behind Wu Hao to show expressions of surprise.
I remember the last time I came here, there was nothing like this. Wu Hao looked around and said with a smile.
Haha, this was Dr. Yang's idea. They said that since it is a biological and life sciences research center, it must have some characteristics in biology and life sciences. As it happens, they have come up with a lot of weird plants, so they put it into use.
Many plants have been used to decorate this place. This kind of green and vibrant plant can also represent the characteristics of our biology and life, as well as our lofty ideal of studying life and respecting life. Qin Yongchuan Chong
Wu Hao and the others smiled and introduced.
Very good, very unique. Wu Hao smiled and praised it.
Yang Fang, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Actually, we also borrowed the design of the glass plant corridor in the headquarters park. Many of us like it there. So we thought about whether we could use it in this barren and barren land.
Can such a place be built above?
It just so happens that our hall has not been fully utilized, so it is empty here. So we thought about decorating it. The effect is pretty good, and everyone likes it."
Wu Hao smiled and nodded, then looked at these plants and blooming flowers and smiled at everyone and said: "In that case, let's start from here. These flowers are very beautiful, and they are all the results of your research.
?"
Hearing Wu Hao's inquiry, Yang Fang stepped forward and nodded with a smile: "Most of them are our related research results. In fact, genetically modified flowers are not new. Many people are doing it. There are many beautiful flowers on the market.
They are all cultivated through artificial genetic modification.
We also hope that our scientific research results can be put into the market as soon as possible, so that on the one hand, it can reduce the company's pressure on scientific research funding. On the other hand, we also hope that through market-oriented operations, we can better feed back our related research work.
So we used the relevant technical achievements accumulated in the past two years to develop these ornamental plant and flower varieties.
For example, this rose is actually cultivated by the genes we extracted from roses of different colors and the flower shape genes of large roses. So as you can see, its flower plants grow very lushly and the flowers bloom in various colors, such as white.
, pink, red, light pink, yellow, purple, and some gradient colors, etc.
In addition, its flowers are also very large."
As she spoke, Yang Fang brought a rose from the flower vine and showed it to everyone: "Please see, its flowers are very big. The largest flower we have cultivated so far has reached 20 centimeters, and this one is
The average flower size on a rose is about 14 to 15 centimeters. The entire flower is considered a giant in the Rosaceae family."
While talking, Yang Fang pinched off a few petals and showed them to Wu Hao and the others: "In addition, its petals are thicker and rich in oil, so they can release a very rich fragrance.
And flowers of different colors release different fragrances. Although this fragrance is strong, it is not pungent, nor is it cloying, but it makes people like it.
Even if the flower is cut and inserted into a vase, it can continue to release its fragrance. Based on this, I believe that after this rose is put into the market, it will definitely be loved and sought after by the majority of consumers."
Having said this, Yang Fang let go of the rose, and then squeezed the petals hard. During this time, her white fingers were stained with a lot of color and juice.
This kind of rose has a rich color and can be used as a very good biological dye. It can be used in some cosmetics and even some foods to replace artificial pigments added to foods. It is very stable and healthy.
Of course. Yang Fang changed her tone and said with a smile: "Whether people are more willing to accept this kind of genetically modified green dye or artificial coloring is hard to say. I won't go into details about the food safety of genetically modified foods.
"
After hearing Yang Fang's words, Wu Hao and others nodded to express their understanding. The debate in this area has not stopped yet. Basically, it is a public opinion and a mother-in-law theory. Is genetically modified food harmful to our body?
So far, there is no research result that can convince everyone. Similarly, no one can prove that genetically modified foods will definitely cause harm to the human body.
However, genetically modified foods have been around for more than half a century, and research in this area continues. If they were obviously harmful to the human body, they would have been researched long ago.
So this debate is still going on, and it looks like it will continue to be debated.
"In addition, because of its rich fragrance and oil, we can extract it and make related perfume essential oils and other high value-added products." Yang Fang continued to talk to everyone: "We plan to first use it in our experimental field
We will plant part of it on a small scale and then put it out through our store platform to see the market response first. If the market response is good, then in the next step we will cooperate with some flower farmers and start to expand the planting area."
Is this kind of rose also a drought-tolerant variety? Wu Hao nodded after listening to Yang Fang's introduction, and then asked.
Yang Fang shook her head: "No, its flower shape is too big, and it is not tolerant to drought, let alone wind and sand. Although it can be grown in desert areas, the flowers grown are so poor in quality that they can only be used to extract dyes and perfumes.
Essential oils.
If you want to cultivate flowers with this kind of appearance, you still need to go to a relatively humid and fertile place."
