Dian Wuyi very much suspects that the Americans have already carried out a targeted heart test against the Chinese and produced genetic weapons. This is not what he thought of casually. Instead, it is true.

Because the genetic genes of different human populations are different, the makers of genetic weapons can target the genetic defects of specific populations. Produce genetic weapons that only kill certain people. To develop this kind of genetic weapon, the key is to obtain the base code of a designated group of people.

At that time, the research institute of Harvard University in the United States carried out serum sampling activities of a large number of residents in the rural areas of Anqing, Anhui, China. At that time, some media suspected that it had ulterior motives.

The population of Anqing in Anqing is small in mobility, the blood relationship is relatively stable, and the use of drugs is relatively small. The locals have a history of settlement for more than a thousand years, and their genes have not been contaminated. By testing them, you can easily find out the genetic characteristics of the Chinese.

According to the United Nations Global Declaration of the Human Genome, everyone has indisputable ownership of their genome. Therefore, researchers must obtain the consent of their owners when collecting genetic samples. Therefore, people of insight are also calling for caution when your genes are stolen.

A large number of personal genetic samples were taken away by some international events, which is actually the loss of national genetic resources.

"There is less domestic research in this area, and there is less publicity. Our only little imagination is obtained through American blockbusters. There is no defensive meaning in this area. Small. When it came to this question, Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "There are not no domestic people who are willing to do practical things. However, due to the academic level and the general lack of understanding of all kinds of expertise, they are always kind to do it. Bad thing. Just like this serum sampling, you can’t say that the undertaker was dedicated to serving the Americans at the beginning, deliberately selling Chinese genetic samples, but the consequences in fact are indeed very bad. God knows these Americans. What did the person do with the serum sample? "

Although Feng Qi heard that the Americans might not be broken to the bones, Fan Wubing himself knew very well that these assumptions still had a realistic basis.

Gene weapons are not only low in production costs, but also abundant in species resources. Using 50 million US dollars to build a genetic weapons arsenal is far more lethal than a nuclear weapons arsenal that cost 5 billion US dollars to build.

So far, the complete genome sequence of more than ten microorganisms in the world has been listed. The cost of each set of genes is only three hundred dollars. And scientists have proved through decades of research that as long as the gene of one species is researched and deciphered, the gene can be transferred to other species of the same kind, and the offspring that is reproduced in this way are genetically modified species. For example, by deciphering the genes of South American killer bees and man-eating ants, and then transfer these genes to ordinary bees and ants, and then continue to clone them, then these low-cost ordinary bees and ants can be used as genetic weapons on the battlefield. use.

Genetic weapons possess the precise ability to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, which is even more difficult to match with other weapons. For example, they can target certain human or animal genetic code characteristics to kill such people without hurting others.

The director of the South African biological and chemical weapons factory, Angusen, once revealed that his research team received an order to develop "chromosome weapons." in the 1980s, mainly to deal with black people.

A more credible report in "Jane's Defense Weekly" also pointed out that in order to develop ethnic bombs against Arabs, Israeli scientists are using certain research results in South Africa. The report also revealed that Israel has discovered the genes of Arabs, especially the genetic makeup of Iraqis.

A little bit of relief is. Scientists from Western intelligence agencies and the military agree that such genetic weapons will not become a reality in the short term, and people currently do not have the technology to weaponize viruses or bacteria so that they can distinguish different races.

There are two main types of genetic weapons currently envisioned: one is to kill a species with a special genetic code. The genes targeted by this genetic weapon are unique to the enemy, such as genes that control traits such as head, skin, and eye color. This type of genetic weapon can effectively strike the enemy while protecting its own troops from harm, such as the "ethnic bomb" that Israel plans to develop.

The other is to integrate and strengthen certain genes to kill common species. This kind of genetic weapon is a combination of small, such as the integration of some genes for drug resistance, which can greatly improve the lethality. For example, the U.S. military has completed the splicing of the genetic gene of E. coli with anti-tetracycline effect and the gene of Staphylococcus aureus with anti-penicillin effect, and then introduced the spliced ​​molecules into E. coli, and cultivated antibacterial agents that are resistant to the above two bactericides. New E. coli. This new E. coli is difficult to treat.

Future wars will become bloodless wars. The two opposing parties will no longer rely on the use of hard weapons of mass destruction, but may first use genetic weapons, so that the opponent’s personnel and the living environment will be conquered in blood.

In this case. Genocide will no longer be a fanatic's fantasy. Today's gene technology exhibition has already had a huge impact on human life. At least for now, gene technology has brought good news to mankind. But what is worthy of caution is that when gene sequencing and splicing are relatively cheap, and biological cloning technology is simple and easy to implement, biological viruses may spread like computer viruses.

If biological viruses also have the characteristics of computer viruses, then the most ideal biological warfare agent will be the general susceptibility of the population, the best transmission route, air and water, acute diseases, the most common drug resistance, and the best controllable mortality rate. Touch for specific genetic code.

The first three features are available in general biological and chemical weapons, and even the fourth. However, most of the current biological and chemical weapons have extremely high lethality rates and are uncontrollable. They can only be used by hostile parties in wartime and are subject to open international restrictions.

With the development of genetic technology and the help of the fifth drug resistance, the fatality rate will be controllable. This will lead the use of biological weapons to peaceful times for potential competitors and even allies to curb their development.

Once biological weapons possess all six functions in the future, they will bring endless disasters to mankind. Whoever owns such biological weapons may have the ability to rule the world. At the same time, the disappearance or genocide of certain ethnic groups or races with certain characteristics will no longer be the fantasy of genocidal madmen such as Hitler.

"I must protect my genes well." Zhang Qi said to Fan Wuyao very seriously.

"That's not an easy task.

small. Fan Wubing smiled. Then he hugged Zhang Qi in shock. Then he kissed her.

After a long time, Fan Wubing let go of the red-faced and gasping Cui Qi, and said to her, "Look, just a simple kiss, and your genes are lost.

"Huh?. Cui Qi was a little dazed.

Shen Manhua smiled and said, "Saliva is also a very good way to extract genetic features."

"Ah!" After Zhang Qi listened, Li Xuan pinched Fan Wuyi's neck and shook it constantly, "Give me my saliva! Xiao.

Fan Wubing and Zhang Qi stayed at the Northeast Planting Base for three full days. In addition to visiting, Fan Wubing also had an in-depth understanding of the current situation of the base, especially the operating conditions and financial revenues and expenditures. He also approved a one-billion-dollar budget for Shen Manhuat. At its sole discretion. The biggest problem facing Fan Wuyao now is to continue to expand the scale of the planting base and strive to expand the scale of the base to millions of mu.

Judging from the situation of the soil near the base, there is still a lot of land that can be reclaimed, but how to coordinate with the local area is a more complicated issue. The land permit, but as the base area increases, it will inevitably have a greater impact on the local area.

As a large-scale enterprise group, how to handle the relationship with local people and local forces is also very important. Taking this factor into account, Fan Wuyao put forward his own request to Shen Manhua, which is to recruit ordinary employees. At that time, try to recruit from the local area as much as possible in order to form a good cooperative relationship with the local people. At the same time, it will also play an important role in the development of the local economy and increase the employment rate. I hope that the emergence of large corporate groups in my jurisdiction will not only form a stable source of taxation, but also increase local visibility, which is of great benefit to my career development.

Of course, Fan Wubing also put forward some bottom lines. For example, companies should strengthen cooperation with localities, but they must still fully control their core research projects in order to avoid unexpected consequences. That would be more troublesome.

"In a word, the green environmental protection project is our current main development route, and this will not change. Xiao. Fan Wubing confessed his requirements to Shen Manhua. "The research on genetically modified projects cannot be left behind. At that time, the cotton base in Xinjiang. We can start the development of the colored cotton project, and strive to reach the scale as soon as possible. Now we are setting up an imitation weaving factory project in Lingxi Province, and we will soon be able to use it. This network is good. As for in-depth genetic research projects, it is still necessary to keep a low profile at present, only research, not open. small.

Shen Manhua nodded, remembering Fan Wuyi's words in his heart.

The genetically modified research project is a double-edged sword, and good use is an artifact. If you use it badly, it will eat yourself back. Shen Manhua knew this very well.
