I want to know, are these fast-growing fruits safe and edible? Qin Yongchuan, who has always been relatively calm, couldn't help but ask. It takes ten minutes from a seed to sprout and grow to a mature fruit.
It was so terrifying that it could be said to have subverted some of their past perceptions.
Hearing this question, everyone turned to look at Yang Fang. Indeed, can the fruit that grows so quickly be eaten? Everyone was obviously full of doubts.
Looking at the suspicious eyes of everyone, Yang Fang smiled and nodded and said: "Through our tests and related experiments, this kind of fast-growing fruits are safe, and they are no different from ordinary fruits.
Of course, research on whether long-term consumption of this fast-growing melon and fruit will affect health is still ongoing, and we still need a lot of experimental data to verify it.
However, for short-term consumption, there is no harm."
While Yang Fang was talking, he signaled to the experimenter next to him to plant a tiny fruit in the humus soil in another glass container. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the seed quickly sprouted and grew.
Then it grew into a long vine and bloomed with many small yellow flowers. The experimenter quickly took a small duster to smear the flowers. It was recognized that the flowers began to bear fruit, and long fresh cucumbers grew out.
Yang Fang, on the other hand, picked a cucumber, broke it into pieces, and ate it directly under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Is there anything you would like to try?
Seeing this, Zhang Jun immediately picked a cucumber from the tree, broke it into pieces and handed it to Wu Hao. Wu Hao took the cucumber and was about to eat it when he heard the voices of Shen Ning and the security personnel coming from behind.
Mr. Wu!
When Wu Hao saw this, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a cucumber, it can't kill anyone."
After saying that, Wu Hao took the lead and started eating directly. The cucumber was very crisp, sweet and refreshing, and very delicious. When others saw this, they also picked up the cucumber and ate it among themselves.
Yang Fang, while everyone was eating, continued to introduce: "In fact, we only edited and changed its growth genes, and other aspects did not make much changes, so the fruits it bears
is safe.
We use normal soil, fertilizer, and water, and do not use any birth-inducing drugs, so it is safe for everyone to eat."
Even if this kind of fruits and vegetables are proven to be safe and healthy, it may be difficult for the public to accept it. This is beyond their understanding. Moreover, in everyone’s inherent understanding, the fruits and vegetables grown in rural areas are naturally pollution-free and long-lasting.
Vegetables, melons and fruits that are full of bugs and bug eyes are green and healthy. However, the off-season vegetables grown in greenhouses are unhealthy.
In fact, the vegetables in these greenhouses are healthier, while the vegetables and fruits grown in rural areas using farmyard manure are unsafe and unhealthy. They are easily infected with E. coli or salmonella, causing gastroenteritis and other diseases.
In fact, the growth rate of this technology can be increased, but if the growth rate is too fast, the plant growth form will be uncontrolled and the genes will be somewhat unstable.
Next, we will show you how fast a pumpkin seed grown with our technology can grow.
Under the guidance of Yang Fang, everyone came to a fully sealed test bench. The test bench was entirely blocked by glass. There was a white container on the test bench, which contained some green solution.
There are two small robotic arms next to the smashing test bench, which can be controlled in real time through the control handles outside the glass. Only one experimenter was seen, carefully putting a container in through the window.
Another experimenter controlled the robotic arm and carefully opened the container, and a burst of white smoke came out of the container.
Seeing this, Yang Fang smiled and introduced to everyone: "This kind of seed is very dangerous, so in order to ensure its safety and stability, we usually store it in a container containing low temperature, dryness, and high concentration of carbon dioxide. In this
In such an environment, it can well inhibit seed germination, thereby extending the shelf life of seeds."
While Yang Fang was talking, the experimenter used the tweezers on the robotic arm to pick out a very plump pumpkin seed. He lifted the seed and showed it to everyone. Everyone also looked at it through the glass.
Look, this seems to be no different from the pumpkin seeds they usually eat.
Amid everyone's confusion, the robotic arm carried the seed to the white container. Then, under everyone's gaze, the robotic arm's tweezers loosened, and the seed quickly fell into the container.
One second, two seconds, while everyone was puzzled, they saw a thin green seedling quickly protruding from the container, growing up all at once, like some kind of chemical agent or elephant toothpaste.
It expanded rapidly, and the vines grew rapidly. Soon there were a lot of vines, and they continued to grow. Some small flowers appeared in the plants. Maybe because of the rapid growth, the male flowers and female flowers on the vines touched together, so
Pumpkins grew out of some female flowers. These pumpkins grew rapidly and became very ugly with crooked melons and cracked dates.
While everyone was staring at these pumpkins, the pumpkin vines had filled the entire glass space and were still expanding.
this……
For everyone present, this scene was really shocking. This kind of magical plant that might have appeared in novels, movies and TV series actually appeared in front of them alive.
In such an instant, the pumpkin seeds grew from falling into the water to growing up. It only took about ten seconds, and the entire glass space was already filled.
Looking at the pumpkin vines still moving in the glass space, everyone was shocked, and some people couldn't help but take a few steps back. Yes, they were scared. This can no longer be described as shock, but a kind of fear.
Will these vines crush the glass and then grow out? Will they be able to escape at that time? What if they get entangled by these crazy growing vines and strangle them one by one? Is it really like in the movie that these vines have to be killed?
When the flowers are fat.
Perhaps seeing the worry and fear of these people, Yang Fang smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, everyone, these glasses are safe enough and these vines will not burst."
As he spoke, Yang Fang gestured to the experimenter. The experimenter who controlled the robotic arm immediately began to control. Under his control, the solution in the white container inside was quickly discharged. The growth rate of the plants that lost the green solution also increased.
