Chapter 54: Food security


The Prime Minister saw Zhang Zhi calling and said kindly: "Xiao Zhang, sit down and say. I have some questions to know."
Zhang Zhi sat on the chair and replied with a smile: "Is it about the life extension medicine?"
"What is the actual output of your life-extending medicament, how long will it take for the whole people to be used as you advertise." The Prime Minister asked.
Zhang Zhi said confidently: "Premier Uncle, you know that the greatest power of science and technology lies in its reproducibility. The difficulty of making life extension pharmacy has been broken by our Xingyu technology, and the real laboratory output is 10,000 bottles per day. Once industrial production , How much is needed. The supply of the whole country is only a small problem. I am afraid that the impact will be too great, and all aspects of society have not adapted, so I only sell life extension drugs in limited quantities. "
The Prime Minister smiled happily when he heard this message, and said, "Your idea is right. It's easy to say in other respects. The food and water resources are very tricky. Don't let go before you solve these two problems. Supply, now supply the group of scientists first. "
This made Zhang Zhi admire very much. The Prime Minister said that he would supply officials first, and Zhang Zhi would agree. But I was inevitably uncomfortable.
The Prime Minister pondered for a while, took out his mobile phone, gave Zhang Zhichuan a document, and said rarely, seriously: "Look at this document. The situation is very tense now."
Zhang Zhi opened his cell phone and looked at the information given to the Prime Minister. This is a paper.
"Beware of Food Security, Report on National Food Limitation"
This document was drafted by the expert group of the Ministry of Agriculture. He described the country ’s cultivated land in detail, and explained the development of the country ’s four major staple wheat, rice, corn, and potatoes, indicating that China ’s grain still has a surplus. It is expected that by 2025 In the case of no technological breakthroughs, there will be a situation where the output and consumption are the same.
The article proposes that food is a weapon of great powers. In the game of great powers, food is a weapon that is more powerful, more covert, and more lethal than missiles.
The article uses sub-Saharan Africa as an example to illustrate that once famine causes food to become the most important material, external forces will use political aids or use food as bait to provoke war.
Zhang Zhizhi finished the article, and he partly agreed with the article's views. You are right about the importance of food. Technically, the word
breakthrough
should not be used. This must be written by the liberal arts students without checking the information and patting their heads. The development of science and technology is now the fastest era, let alone seven years, that is, seven months, technology may make a big step forward.
Why is there famine in Sahara Africa? It is because of unstable political situation and some people in Africa are too lazy. Africa, which does not even have basic agricultural facilities, depends on God for food once the weather changes. Can only rely on relief.
There is no threat to Africa, they pretend to be hypocritical, and they can provide relief. China is going to make a famine, and no one can help it. Only by myself.
After reading Zhang Zhi ’s article, the Prime Minister lamented:
Our country has one-fifth of the world ’s population, but only 7% of the cultivated land, all relying on the power of science and technology to fill the gap, hybrid rice has reached the bottleneck, we have Lift the potatoes to the staple food position. "
"Small countries can rely on large countries to help. Once we have an accident, no one can save us. The more people there are, the more economically they develop and the more food they need. The food shortage will become more urgent in the event of a famine. The cost of obtaining food after that time The more expensive it is. The most likely thing is that there is no money to buy food. "
"Prime Minister Uncle is right, food is not only important in ancient times, but also the foundation of building a nation in modern times." Zhang Zhi confidently said to the Prime Minister, "The technological advancement of our Xingyu technology will change the requirements of food on cultivated land."
Hearing this sentence, the expression was shocked, and said hurriedly: "You are the method, not the technology of the hydroponic plant. They are not suitable for staple food and the price is too high."
Zhang Zhi said with a smile: "No, we have found it through dozens of methods of simulation through a scientific research platform. The water beans developed by using potatoes as samples have higher starch content than potatoes. They can be grown in water and fresh water. It can survive in seawater. The yield is 5 times that of potatoes. Harvested once a month can withstand a low temperature of minus 20 degrees, and it can be dried and stored for up to 20 years. "
The prime minister showed a shocked expression, trembling in the corner of his mouth and said: "Planted in sea water, the yield is 5 times that of potatoes. It matures in a month and can survive at minus 20 degrees. This is great, and it is the perfect weapon to solve food security."
"I originally wanted to find you an experimental field in the Northeast Plain, but there is a large amount of state-owned land in one piece. It takes time to allocate farmers' land. Now I can make a decision. You can experiment in the Bohai Sea, where the wind and waves are relatively calm."
Zhang Zhi asked with some doubts: "Prime Minister Uncle, I am afraid that the water beans I planted cannot be accepted by people. This is also produced by genetic technology, and people are naturally averse to genetic technology."
The Prime Minister laughed and said: "You still don't understand, people don't dislike genetic technology, it is genetically modified technology. Hybrid rice is also genetic technology, we are not eating the same. GM technology is very advanced in the United States, we have been restricting GM technology in our country For development, we will not let go of GM technology without the dominance of GM technology in China. "
"You don't need to worry about your water beans and grains. When it is included as a staple food, people will naturally be relieved." The Prime Minister saw through Zhang Zhi's thoughts and promised with a smile, "Can you solve the problem of water resources?" "
Zhang Zhi really has a way, but he dare not say that this is a real society, don't doubt the IQ of people, if he is like Doraemon, UU reads www. uukanshu.com will come up with a black technology in a moment, this is not to shout to the world, I have problems, come and catch me.
Zhang Zhi said tangled in the face: "Prime Minister, I don't know everything. When the scientific research platform came online, there were always more than 1.4 billion people in the country, and there would always be a genius to find a way."
The nodded the head and said, "This is normal. I just asked it casually. My questions have been resolved. I will step up the process of research platform issues. There will be a meeting soon, and I leave."
After finishing the speech, he gave Zhang Zhi his mobile phone number, "This is my private number. If there is anything that cannot be solved, call me."
Zhang Zhihe and Prime Minister went out and watched the Prime Minister's car go away, feeling deeply in his heart. Such approachable leaders are rare.
Back to the auditorium, Zhang Zhi found that Qu Xiaoyan had negotiated with representatives of various countries and saw Zhang Zhi coming back. Li Lingqiu pulled Zhang Zhi and said: "We have money, tens of billions of dollars. It is possible to start a large project research. By the way, what does the Prime Minister look for you, do you want to prolong life?"
Zhang Zhi carefully explained to them the process of his conversation with the prime minister.
Li Lingqiu asked doubtfully: "Shuidou, why don't I know that your brain makes up."
Zhang Zhi said a little bit: "I and Xinglan Naobu are all counting on you to develop it, and this 50 billion can be used casually."
"You tease me again. I know the strength of Xinglan. With the large database I provided, its results cannot be wrong." Li Lingqiu said proudly.
"Sister Qu, how did you negotiate so quickly." Feeling that the negotiation time was too short, Zhang Zhi asked with some doubts.
Qu Xiaoyan explained: "Our contracts are all stipulated, and negotiations are of course fast. The press conference will start immediately."
Zhang Zhigang wanted to walk to the rostrum and heard someone shouting behind him: "Mr. Zhang, wait a minute."
