Chapter 304

Gene biotechnology is one of the mainstream technologies in the future, so it is very important to master gene biotechnology.

With the development of science and technology, gene weapons will gradually emerge, and become more terrifying than nuclear weapons in the future!

Gene weapon, also known as gene warfare agent, is another development direction of modern new concept weapon. Gene weapon is the use of advanced genetic engineering technology, according to people's needs, through gene recombination, in pathogenic bacteria or viruses to synthesize a specific gene, and then can be artificial design or synthesis of non-existent organisms or viruses in nature, etc!!!

One of the genetic weapons is called "race gene weapon", also known as "race bomb". It is a gene weapon aimed at a specific nation or ethnic group. That is to say, it is only effective for a specific gene of a specific race and completely harmless to other races. It can be called an artifact in the war of extermination!

Some are engaged in the research of genetic weapons, and naturally some are engaged in the protection of genetic weapons. Some countries began to study the protection measures of biological warfare agents as early as the 1980s, and developed a variety of vaccines to prevent the invasion of biological weapons, referred to as "gene vaccine"!

Henry read a news in his previous life. In 1997, U.S. Defense Secretary Cohen ordered that since then, all U.S. active and reserve soldiers must be vaccinated according to the regulations, and all of them should be vaccinated before 2003! In May 1998, Clinton ordered to strengthen the reserve of vaccines and antibiotics against biochemical warfare in order to cope with the possible genetic biochemical warfare.

In addition to the United States, countries all over the world are carrying out research on gene weapons and gene vaccines.

In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to maintain world peace, and to carry out love and true evil, it was in the spirit of the "International Declaration on human genome and human rights" approved by the general assembly of the United Nations in 1998 that ethical conventions and agreements on restricting the use of genetic technology and banning the development of genetic weapons were reached on a global scale.

However, it doesn't make any difference!

Countries around the world are still vigorously developing genetic weapons. At the same time, every country is also studying the genetic code of its own nation as soon as possible, trying to find out the specific and susceptibility genes as soon as possible, and using bioengineering technology to develop effective biological agents and gene vaccines, so as to improve and enhance the genetic resistance of the nation.

Genetic weapons are not as easy to detect as missiles. They can be a bottle of medicine, which can be put into the river to poison; It can spread in the air and infect other people; It can also be genetically modified food, eat it and do harm to human genes.

Genetic weapons can't be prevented, and they're not easy to crack. Think about it, the human body has 3 billion base pairs, how to crack this... Only the manufacturer of genetic weapons knows the genetic code!

Therefore, in-depth study of the gene, in the future can be conducive to the invincibility.

One of the significance of the existence of gene umbrella company is that it does not seek to hurt people, but seek self-protection, develop gene vaccine, "all kinds of viruses do not invade"! Of course, if you annoy Henry, you don't mind firing one or two genetic weapons!

At present, gene technology is widely used in medical treatment, but also in agriculture.

Are genetically modified seeds and foods harmful to human beings? Harmful or harmless, depending on the circumstances, can not be generalized.

If there is no harmful gene in genetically modified food, it will be harmless.

If a kind of gene weapon is designed for a certain race and added to the genetically modified food, then we can imagine what will happen after the people of this race take the genetically modified food! Maybe it's to weaken the physique, maybe it's to reduce the IQ, maybe it's to kill the sperm, or even affect the development of the next generation, and so on

The genes in genetically modified food are so complex that each gene can be understood like the palm of one's hand. Do you understand its function? Therefore, even if it is sent for inspection, the official organization may not be able to find out whether there is any problem! But, can't find out, is there no problem?

As for whether there is a problem, the clearest one should be the manufacturer of genetically modified food or genetically modified seeds!

With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, the traditional agricultural planting system has been unable to meet the growing needs of the world population for food and nutrition. Transgenic technology can improve the yield of crops, is obviously a great technology for the benefit of mankind! There is no doubt that more and more countries will import genetically modified food in the world. Because if we don't import genetically modified food, we will not have enough to eat and even starve to death!

About 90% of corn, 90% of cotton and 94% of Soybeans Planted in the United States in the future are genetically modified varieties, while China imports the most!

Technology is not good or bad, but it depends on who uses it.

The most famous transgenic seed company in the United States is Monsanto, which is a global seed giant and the world's first seed provider. The whole field of agricultural research, Monsanto Company almost occupies half of the country! Of course, there is no such thing at present.

If Henry wants to eat safe food, he can grow non genetically modified seeds on his farm. However, when genetically modified food penetrates into various industries, who can guarantee that everything they eat is pure natural?

There is nothing wrong with genetically modified food. If we know that the genes in genetically modified food will not harm human body, we can eat them! We can even use transgenic technology to develop more nutritious food, enhance our physique or intelligence!

The reason why Henry paid attention to Monsanto was that they made too much noise!

In order to enter the transgenic seed market, Monsanto is purchasing biotechnology companies and seed companies. Gene umbrella company as a biotech giant, will not respond to Monsanto's action?

Henry immediately sent people to investigate Monsanto.

Monsanto was a chemical company in the early years, and will enter many fields, such as biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. In 1982, Monsanto scientists changed the genes of plant cells for the first time in human history, realizing a major breakthrough in the field of biotechnology! Since then, Monsanto has decided to carry out strategic transformation and shift its focus to the field of biotechnology.

After reading the materials, Henry laughed: "Meng Shan is very bold. A few years ago, he launched a seed war with the pioneer seed company, the world's first seed company, and he was defeated. After realizing that there is no short board of seed companies, they immediately launched the acquisition action! Try to buy a large number of seed companies, and then combine their own biotechnology to launch genetically modified seeds! "

In his previous life, Henry has read many discussions about genetically modified food, especially many Chinese people believe that genetically modified food is harmful to human health. Then, for example, even the European Union has banned the consumption of genetically modified food, which shows that genetically modified food is indeed harmful to human body!

The deeper Henry studied genes, the more he felt that technology had two sides. It can be used for regular and positive, and it can be used for evil.

Henry thought, in order to let himself eat safe food in the future, the acquisition of Monsanto should be imperative. Moreover, China is a big importer of genetically modified food, and has its own control over Monsanto. At least, it will not let harmful genetically modified food enter China.
