Chapter 367: Future farm

The original factory for slaughtering and drying meat was quickly renovated into an aseptic breeding plant within three days.
The interior of the workshop is a three-dimensional cultivation rack arrangement.
The culture rack is a row of half meters, each row is two meters high, divided into two layers, each layer is one meter high, 30 cm long and 30 cm wide.
At present, according to the program module, the type of meat cultured by the culture rack can be adjusted according to muscle density, fat density, and even whether bones are generated. For example, it can be adjusted to the loin, upper brain, and ribs.
A slender polymer beam tube runs through two glass boxes from top to bottom. The glass box is filled with the culture agent-artificial serum.
There are some differences between the laboratory artificial serum and the actual serum components produced by animals. The serum contains an interfering agent developed by Pangu Technology. The purpose of the interfering machine is to accelerate the growth of beef tissue.
In the process of mass production, the culture agent mimics the blood, ensuring that the nutrients and oxygen are sufficient at all times, so the culture agent is recycled. There is a filtering device at the end of the factory, which will collect the cell and tissue metabolized waste and add fresh materials into it.
In the design of the equipment, Gao Siqi also considered the cultivation of future plant crops, because the waste products of meat tissue metabolism are exactly the nutrients metabolized by plant tissues.
In the glass container, the primary cells are attached to the polymer beam tube, and they grow happily after absorbing nutrients.
According to the model of primary cell culture, when the number of generations of cells increases, they will inhibit each other and cause some cell death.
However, the laboratory has manipulated the expression of genes and introduced telomere non-reduction technology to allow cells to proliferate infinitely in the incubator according to the power of n.
The number of generations is monitored by Xiaochu. When each piece of meat reaches 20 pounds, Xiaochu will control the regulator to adjust the proportion of the culture agent to stop the tissue growth. This is the time from harvest to harvest. In about two weeks.
Because the glass incubator is removable and detachable, it can be fully mechanized during harvesting. The glass box is automatically lowered onto the conveyor below the shelf and then transported to the harvesting workshop.
In the harvesting workshop, the incubator will drain the serum-like culture medium first, and the beef will be drawn out with the bundle tube. At the moment when it is pulled out, the bundle tube is peeled off and the beef is packed in a vacuum bag to ensure the maximum degree of beef. Fresh and hygienic.
The evacuated beef can be immediately sent to the supermarket or market for sale, or it can be sent to the freezer for refrigeration.
Except for a few technicians, the entire process is controlled by artificial intelligence, without a worker. In today's skyrocketing labor costs, this is a fairly cost-saving approach.
Xiaochu quickly calculated the operating cost of the factory. If he did not calculate enough to buy the factory, land, and equipment, he only calculated the costs of the production project and the wages of the technical staff. The cost per kilogram of beef was seven yuan. And with the expansion of the factory scale, the cost will be further reduced to about five pieces per pound of beef.
Fast production speed, low cost, safety and health are the representatives of large-scale production in factories.
During this time, Xiao Ming guided the final renovation of the headquarters building and the installation of equipment and instruments in the Pangu Science and Technology Park, but as soon as he had time, he would go to Minghui Food Factory to check the production progress.
In the first small batch, after one ton of beef was off the production line, Xiao Ming asked the workers to transport it to Pranruo Village and Pangu Technology Headquarters.
"Publicly explain to everyone that this is our new product and let the cafeteria be added to the daily recipe."
Gao Siqi said: "The production line is already an assembly line operation. We now have a total of four production lines and can produce an average of 20 tons of beef per week."
A good breed cattle is generally raised to 1500 kg (0.75 tons) for slaughter.
According to this calculation, the factory's output in a week is about 27 cattle, and it is pure meat, without cowhide, internal organs and other products.
The four production lines of Pangu Science and Technology Minghui Food Co., Ltd. are equivalent to traditional medium-sized ranches. Even a medium-sized ranch cannot guarantee the supply of 27 cattle per week, which is the gap between technology production and traditional production.
"Is the sales process determined?" Xiao Ming is more concerned about this issue.
"Of course!" Gao Siqi said, "We have obtained all the qualification certificates for raw meat sales, and in addition, we have negotiated with the major supermarkets in Jiangcheng to list sales."
The farmer's market is relatively scattered and difficult to control, so this time the main place for selling beef is the major supermarkets in Jiangcheng.
For sales issues, Gao Siqi would not worry too much about Xiaoming.
He said: "The main thing is to do a good job in food promotion, to make consumers aware of modern agriculture, and then put it on the shelves."
Gao Siqi understands that this time using the entire Jiangcheng market to experiment with future agricultural technology is a difficult challenge. Consumers who are accustomed to traditional agriculture have a deep-rooted view that beef must grow on cattle. From the rice field.
If they know that the beef is from a tissue culture in a laboratory, it is from a standardized cultivation factory, and they don't know if there is still a desire to buy.
Xiao Ming and Gao Siqi walked out of the factory together. Xiao Ming pointed to Jiangcheng TV Tower, a landmark building in the distance. "What do you think is the most important landmark building in a city?"
Gao Siqi said with a smile: "The headquarter building of Pangu Technology? Haha, I don't know, it should not be a TV tower anyway."
Xiao Ming said, "It should be a perfect food production building, and agriculture should be modernized and urbanized. Meat, rice, vegetables, and fruits. The food needed by each city should be solved by this city. Each city should have its own. Food production library. "
Gao Siqi knows what Xiao Ming is expressing. If the life science laboratory has enough samples and sufficient technical conditions, it can completely create a food building, from the production of food to meat and fruit.
If this ambitious goal can be achieved, the economic and social structure of Xia Kingdom will undergo major changes.
The peasant profession will be officially launched on the stage of history. Xia Kingdom will have a large amount of land available for use, or return farmland to forests, or use it for construction. But it is conceivable that when the supply of land increases, housing prices will fall, and Xia Guo's economy will face a new transformation.
And countless farmers who liberate their hands may be eliminated by history, or they may become a new labor force under new technology.
Neither Xiao Ming nor Gao Qiqi can judge what the future will be, but they believe that time will tell everything.
But before imagining the future, Pangu Technology is going to make a 60-minute documentary "How Beef Produced".
