The world enters the age of myth

Chapter 198 Potential Food Crisis

The screening of experimenters this time is quite strict. You don’t just have to sign up if you want to. There are certain requirements for physical fitness, gender, age, mental resistance, and willpower. Generally speaking, it still favors the soldier level. There are not too many places left for the people, only a few dozen at most.

In order to select qualified test candidates, you can register through online application, and relevant staff will conduct certain screening from the applicants. The cost is naturally free and will be borne by the Yunhai government.

Ding Yuan was sitting in the center of the venue, looking at the crowds of people who had signed up enthusiastically. Naturally, he was in a very good mood, with a slight smile on his lips.

"It's rare, Old Ding, it turns out you can also laugh. I thought you would never laugh!" Guo Xianfeng, who was sitting next to him, said when he saw the smile on Ding Yuan's face.

"Who wants to keep a straight face all day long? Isn't it impossible?" Ding Yuan sighed: "When you can smile, you should smile as much as possible. Otherwise, the name Ding Yuan will become a little boy." The kid calls him the big bad wolf."

To be honest, he has not been so relaxed for a long, long time since he took over the management of the Unkai.

There is always a pressure that could capsize the boat at any time.

These crises not only come from the outside world, but also come from the inside. As long as one part of everything is not handled well, internal conflicts will break out. It is not easy to get to this point and live better and better. !

The Sea of ​​Clouds is just a shelter with less than 160,000 people. It does not have a huge resource reserve like the headquarters, nor a powerful weapons arsenal. It has even completely lost contact with other shelters.

In this case, everything depends on yourself.

Sometimes he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at all.

But now, this operation seems to prove that even if the Yunhai is separated from the resources behind it, it can still survive in Yanghe, can complete its own set of internal circular economy, and can even survive well.

After the Unkai absorbs the heritage of another world's civilization, it will become more and more powerful!

That’s the most relaxing part!

Talents are available, and the system is gradually improving. What else is there to worry about? Only such a society can have enough confidence to survive even if it encounters some setbacks.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuan stood up from his seat and approached Lu Yiming and others: "Xiao Lu, do you have any idea to sign up for the experiment? With your physical standards, you will definitely be able to qualify for the first batch. Experimental data of superpowers , we have to collect it too.”

"Ah?" Lu Yiming scratched his hair: "I'll think about it again, I haven't decided yet... Haha, although this physical enhancement potion looks pretty good."

"It's up to you, there's nothing compulsive. But if you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait for a long time."

For Ding Yuan and other management, the most troublesome problem facing the entire society is actually the food problem.

Not only should everyone be well fed, but also well fed.

After using the strengthening agent, the third development of the human body requires a large amount of high-quality protein to supplement nutrition. Normal development cannot be achieved by eating a little carbohydrate.

It must have high-quality protein such as chicken, duck, beef, and pork, as well as dietary fiber such as fruits and vegetables, and a balanced mix.

In the third stage of growth, the 40%-50% increase in food intake is basically increased on these high-quality foods. Eating some potatoes and rice is not enough. Without enough nutrients, your physique will not improve.

"The entire growth period is only two months, but they have to eat so much meat... If the appetite of 160,000 people increases by 50%..." an official in charge of food shuddered.

He was simply frightened.

This fact also makes Ding Yuan and others feel a little troubled. The Yunhai does not have enough space to produce so much high-quality food!

The space of the Unkai is limited, and a large part of it must be used for living, as well as scientific research, industry, commerce, and entertainment. These cannot be saved at all. It would be no problem to grow some rice, potatoes, and some vegetables on the remaining agricultural land to feed everyone, but it would be a bit difficult to raise a large group of chickens, ducks, and geese.

The feed ratio of chickens is 2, that is, a chicken will produce one piece of meat after eating two portions of food; the feed ratio of pigs is 3, and it will take 3 portions of food to produce one piece of meat. Moreover, these animals also need protein and soybean meal to grow. It is difficult to grow meat just by eating carbohydrates.

The yield of soybeans is actually not high, and the yield per mu is much less than that of rice and potatoes. Rice can easily yield a thousand kilograms per mu, while soybeans can only yield five to six hundred kilograms.

So while Ding Yuan was happy, he also habitually became worried. If the demand for meat increased by a large amount for 160,000 people, that would be simply terrible!

This means that food production must double to have a large supply of meat.

Once a food crisis breaks out, it will kill people!

But the Unkai is too small, and it is impossible to double the food output... In the end, we still need a continent to achieve this real goal.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and asked: "Professor, I have a question. When do you think this new human body enhancement biotechnology will finally be promoted on a large scale? Ahem... We must make good food. Preparation work. If there is not enough protein, the human body will fail to develop three times, right? Then everyone will have nothing to eat, and there will be problems. "

The professor stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Mr. Ding, this is not urgent. We have considered it. At the beginning, we will only conduct experiments on 300 people. It will take at least several months of follow-up investigation to slow down the process." Slowly promote it to thousands of people. After all, this matter involves the safety of the entire Yunhai ship, so it cannot be too urgent."

"Just like the clinical phase one, two, and three of a vaccine, we must organize the data step by step. This is a brand-new technology, even though the intelligent life in the parallel world has revealed a lot for us. We still have to be careful about the path, and we still have to explore the experience ourselves, and we will not completely trust the documentary records."

"The supply of meat for hundreds of people should be no problem, right?"

Ding Yuan gritted his teeth: "There are still tens of thousands of tons of frozen pork in the freezer, so there is no problem for the time being."

The professor on the stage added: "If there are no mistakes, it will take one to three years to promote it on a large scale."

Ding Yuan was slightly relieved when he heard that it would take one to three years to be widely promoted. By that time, maybe there will be a new turning point. Now we are only conducting experiments with a few hundred people. With a little more squeezing, there will naturally be no problem with nutritional supply.

"Oh, what a headache."

It can be regarded as worry in happiness...

So on this day, a new era began...

The host on the TV solemnly announced to all the people: This is an era of living things!

"Welcome all college entrance examination candidates to sign up for the biology major!"

Yes, the era of biology has finally come... Although it comes a little late, it has finally arrived.

In the past, some people always said that the 21st century was the century of living things. However, as time went by, this sentence became a not-so-funny joke.

After graduating with a Ph.D. in biology, I couldn't find a job at all, and it was even difficult to become a doctor. After all, biology and medicine are still very different; after the completion of the human gene sequencing project, humans still don't know much about genes; cancer , AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, ALS and other difficult and complicated diseases, there has been a little progress decade after decade, but it is not too big...

Until today, with the continuous deciphering of civilization data from other worlds, human biological science has suddenly made an unimaginable huge leap!

Many issues that were previously unclear were immediately understood. New papers are translated almost every day, and scientists just have to learn.

The civilization of this parallel world has been named "White Mist Civilization" by humans.

Compared with the other technologies of Baiwu Civilization and humans, they are actually about the same, and the difference is not too big. However, in the project of biology, they are at least 50 years or even a century ahead of humans!

Such a big cake was placed in front of them, so much so that the biologists on the Yunhai were knocked unconscious and they were dizzy all day long.

Talent...talent is completely insufficient!

Even with the assistance of Sakura Potion, the top talents are still not enough.

Various media and TV stations are enthusiastically broadcasting news in this regard. Even high school students in school know that this is a biological century.

This major is very popular and has a bright future. Everyone is welcome to apply.

Definitely not bragging!

With the vigorous development of biology, other industries have also benefited. For example, in medicine, various difficult and complicated diseases may be better solved, and the average life span of human beings will undoubtedly be extended; human organ printing technology is also becoming more and more mature, and using stem cells to cultivate human organs is no longer a problem .

Another example is the emergence of the "Sakura" potion, which allows experts in various fields to better absorb knowledge. The use of this medicine needs to pass strict review, but as long as a few geniuses appear, it is enough to make the entire civilization take a big step forward!

In this huge change of the times, Lu Yiming was hesitating whether to sign up for the first "body strengthening potion" experiment.

He is naturally very interested in strengthening his body. Now that he can't beat his soldier Guo Weiqiang, he doesn't dare to scold him loudly.

But I was a little hesitant. This potion came from Baiwu Civilization. Well, I didn’t research it myself. It’s a bit unreliable from a security perspective.

In short, these two emotions were mixed together, leaving him not knowing how to choose.

"Hey, Lily, I have something to ask you." He saw Jin Lily hurriedly passing by and said hello quickly.

"Why do you want to invite me to dinner again?" Jin Lili turned around and smiled: "I'm very busy! Sister Yuan still has some things for me to do..."

Professor Yuan, who developed the x-enhancing potion, is extremely busy. As a member of the team, Jin Lili works overtime every day and does not see him even once every two days.

Lu Yiming hadn't played with her for several days, but he missed her a lot: "Well, if you are willing... I'll treat you to dessert? I just have some questions to ask you."
