Super Scientist

Ye Chen is a world-renowned scientist. This kind of technical issues are well thought out and insightful. Not only the father of hybrid rice wants to know, but who doesn't?

All of them opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears.

"First of all, let's talk about plants. The application of transgenic technology in plants is of great value. If those endangered plants are supported by transgenic technology to improve their viability, they may be preserved. This is very important for saving such endangered species. meaning." Ye Chen explained.

The father of hybrid rice and the others couldn't help nodding, agreeing with this statement.

In modern society, science and technology have made great progress, and human society has unprecedented prosperity. However, the damage to the environment is also terrible. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about our country. Before the reform and opening up, the environment of our country was very beautiful, with green mountains and green waters everywhere, and the air was fresh.

How many years have passed? The destruction is distressing, and the smog is already heartbreaking.

The environment has been severely damaged, and the survival of plants has become a problem, and some plants are already facing the risk of extinction. If these endangered plants are supported by genetically modified technology, which greatly improves their viability, they can be preserved.

This is definitely one of the most valuable uses of GM technology.

"Of course, I support research on the application of genetically modified technology in crops, and I am very cautious about the promotion of genetically modified crops." Ye Chen said again.

Be very cautious?

Ye Chen, as a world-renowned scientist, uses his words very carefully. This time he even used the word "special" to emphasize his attitude. The father of hybrid rice and the others looked serious. With Ye Chen emphasizing so much, he must have an astonishing insight.

"We all know that genes evolve. It took tens of millions of years for humans to evolve from ancient forest monkeys to modern humans. During these tens of millions of years, humans had a lot of food, and much of it has disappeared in the long river of history. However, there are written records, as far as our history is concerned, there are thousands of years. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and created medicine, which benefited us endlessly. Shennong taught the people to harvest, so that our ancestors entered the agricultural era. These crops, accompanied by We have been for thousands of years. This is the result of thousands of years of time testing, it is very reliable, and we can rest assured." Ye Chen said again.

The father of hybrid rice and the others couldn't help nodding, agreeing with this statement.

Since Shennong, our country has entered an agricultural society, which is a huge progress. Crops have been with us for thousands of years, so how reliable are they after such a long historical test.

"GMO technology has only been around for decades,

This time is too short. The time frame for genetically modified crops is even shorter. Whether there are any problems with the crop varieties obtained through genetically modified technology remains to be tested by time. Maybe there is no problem, maybe there is a problem, no one can tell now. "Ye Chen frowned, and his tone became more and more cautious.

Genetically modified technology only appeared in the 1970s, and it has only been more than 40 years now. Although scientists have made a lot of efforts and conducted rigorous experiments. However, genes themselves are evolving. When two different genes are combined, what will it evolve into? Can the results be seen in just a few decades?

It took tens of millions of years for humans to evolve from ancient forest monkeys to modern humans, and the genes are still evolving, and the end has not yet been reached. Who knows what humanity will evolve into in the future?

Even humans, who have evolved over tens of millions of years, have no end in sight. Genetically modified crops with only a few decades of evolutionary history, who can guarantee that they are not harmful to humans?

"No problem is of course the best. In case it is discovered that genetically modified crops are seriously harmful to humans one day in the future. Human beings have been poisoned by genetically modified crops. By then, it will be too late to regret." Ye Chen's tone was slightly higher.

The emergence of genetically modified technology is too short. It has only been a few decades, and it is too hasty to conclude that genetically modified crops are not harmful to humans. Therefore, the promotion of genetically modified crops must be cautious and prudent.

"For example, the United States is promoting genetically modified soybeans to the world and requires our country to buy them in large quantities. In fact, Americans themselves do not eat genetically modified soybeans, because Americans have no idea in their minds, and Americans also know that the mere decades of evolution Time, there is no way to know the future of genes." Ye Chen gave an example.

Genetically modified soybeans, this term is known to anyone who pays attention to the news a little bit, and it is not unfamiliar at all.

American genetically modified soybeans are famous all over the world, and the United States promotes them all over the world, but Americans themselves do not eat them.

Because genetically modified soybeans have not been around for a long time, Americans themselves have no idea.

Crops are related to the problem of eating. It is not just about tens of thousands of people, but billions of people; it is not just about one or two generations, it is about future generations.

If the genetically modified crops are promoted rashly now, and after a few years, it is found that there are problems with the genetically modified crops, the harm will not be one generation or two, but future generations, and it is possible that the entire ethnic group will have problems.

The consequences would be dire.

This is not nonsense, but actual examples.

Many genetically improved varieties contain a bacterial gene extracted from a bacillus that produces a protein that is toxic to insects and pests. A butterfly larva that ate pollen from a milkweed plant that contained the Bacillus gene died or developed abnormally.

This is just an experiment, and there is this terrible phenomenon.

If genetically modified crops are promoted, human beings will eat them every day and conduct experiments every day. After a few years, what will happen, who can say clearly?

"Xiaoye's worry is very reasonable. What makes people hate is that some merchants clearly use genetically modified crops, but they mark them in very small characters in the most inconspicuous position. If you don't pay attention, you will not find it. If it is not genetically modified For crops, these unscrupulous merchants will mark them in prominent fonts in the most conspicuous position.” The father of hybrid rice was heartbroken.

There are many such black-hearted merchants with sincerity, and friends who have entered the supermarket must have found many.

"Compared to the old man, they are nothing." Ye Chen has also seen many such unscrupulous merchants, and he hates them very much.

The father of hybrid rice eats the grain grown by himself and makes himself an experimental product. This rigorous scientific attitude is moving.

"Xiaoye, another aspect you are worried about is the use of genetically modified technology on animals, right?" The father of hybrid rice already understood Ye Chen's worries.

"That's right. Animals, some of them are food for humans. If you use genetically modified technology, you need to be as cautious as crops. What I am most worried about is that as the genetically modified technology becomes more and more mature, human beings are getting closer to God. At that time, creation There are a lot of monsters." Ye Chen frowned tightly.

"How do you say that?" asked the father of hybrid rice.

It can be seen that Ye Chen is really worried, and Chen Wang and the others are also curious, all of them opened their eyes wide.

"If genetically modified technology has made great progress and human beings can play the role of creating life, if those with ulterior motives or lunatics use it on humans, the consequences will be terrible." Ye Chen's voice turned high.

The father of hybrid rice and the others looked solemn.

"If a lunatic implants other animal gene fragments into human genes, what will be the consequences?" Ye Chen's eyes flashed sharply.

The father of hybrid rice and the others pursed their lips tightly, looking serious.

"If a dog's gene fragment is implanted in human genes, will a kobold be produced? If a pig's gene fragment is implanted, will a pig-headed man be produced? If a snake's gene fragment is implanted, will a dog-headed man be produced? Where's Dusha?" After Ye Chen asked several questions in succession, the faces of the father of hybrid rice and the others were ugly, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Now, we don't have such worries, that's because the transgenic technology is immature, and human beings don't play a big role in creating life, they just make some repairs.

With the advancement of technology, human beings play an increasingly important role, there must be people with ulterior motives, or lunatics, who will definitely conduct experiments on human beings.

Human cloning is banned all over the world, and there are still lunatics conducting human cloning experiments.

If experiments are carried out on humans, monsters that are not human, ghosts and ghosts will be produced. The consequence of this is terrible, and it will subvert human ethics and morality.

Is such a monster a human or a monster?

It's human, but it's not completely human. It is not human, but it has human characteristics and human genes.

Human morality has been severely challenged. Will the existing moral system collapse?

If it is just an experiment, although it is unacceptable, the harm to human beings is not too great.

If people with ulterior motives create such monsters on a large scale, the consequences will be even more serious.

A large number of monsters appeared on the earth, competing with humans for food and resources, challenging human ethics, and fighting with humans.

Will such dire consequences lead to the destruction of mankind?

No one can tell.

At any time, there is no shortage of lunatics and people with ulterior motives.

If human beings have made great achievements in genetically modified technology and can play more roles in creating life, sooner or later there will be lunatics and people with ulterior motives to do so.

Don't say it has become a reality, just thinking about it is scary.

This is more harmful to human beings than cloning.

Human cloning will have a huge impact on human ethics. Anyway, this is still human, with human wisdom and knowledge. Monsters don't have such constraints, they can do whatever they want, and it is possible for humans to become food for monsters.

"Xiaoye, you have a long-term perspective and a thorough understanding. Genetic modification technology really needs to be treated with caution." It took a long time for the father of hybrid rice to come back to their senses.

The terrible consequences analyzed by Ye Chen do not exist in imagination. As the technology matures, such terrible consequences are likely to appear, and the genetically modified technology has to be taken seriously.

"I also hold the same attitude towards genetically modified rice, so I use hybrid rice technology when researching rice," said the father of hybrid rice.

Hybrid rice is to select two rice varieties that have certain differences in genetics and can complement each other in their excellent traits, and carry out hybridization to produce the first-generation hybrids with heterosis for production.

After all, hybrid rice is carried out between rice, which will improve the variety of rice, will not cause species variation, and will not have uncertain consequences like genetically modified.

"Xiaoye, I invited you here because I want to conquer super rice and prove the existence of higher-level life. What do you think about this?" The father of hybrid rice looked at Ye Chen with piercing eyes.

Chen Wang and the others had fiery eyes.
