I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 846: Oil planted from the field
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
On September 28, the continuously rising oil price set the highest increase for the month, closing at US $ 71 per barrel, more than doubling from the year before. The pressure on the global economy caused by high oil prices has also been seen in the financial report of the future heavy industry.
Due to the impact of rising costs, the profits of many future projects of Renhe Heavy Industry have dropped by 13% compared with the previous quarter. Future Human Biology and Future Human Mining have also been affected to a small extent. Future People's tourism profits are the same as the previous quarter, and the only thing keeping up is only Future Human Technology.
As long as it maintains technological leadership, the Internet is like a gold mine that cannot be dug.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) issued a statement on the same day that OPEC member countries will hold an informal meeting in Algeria in October to discuss moderate production increase and maintain the stability of the oil market. Only when oil prices are stabilized within a relatively reasonable range can the interests of these oil-producing countries be maximized.
If the global economy is sluggish due to oil prices, although they can make a fortune in a short period of time, but then the demand for oil will shrink, and their lives will become difficult.
However, after the announcement, the oil price has not been curbed.
Ellas Musk, the CEO of Trass, once said: How precious are the precious chemical raw materials such as oil?
The level of petrochemical industry is one of the standards for measuring the development level of a country ’s basic industry. Ethylene production is a sign of the development level of a country ’s petrochemical industry. The fuel function is only one of the most extreme functions of oil. Why not use gasoline to measure the development level of the country's basic industry?
The basic chemical raw materials including ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, xylene are all derived from petroleum!
Oil prices are too high, which is indeed a big trouble for emerging economies.
However, for Jiang Chen, who has the entire 22nd century technology, this trouble is not as big as he thought.
Not enough oil? Then just replace it with something else!
At the moment, in the laboratory of human biology in the future, Jiang Chen entered the training area with the branch CEO Tao Ming.
"Please here."
Tao Ming made a gesture of invitation and respectfully opened the door for Jiang Chen.
The door opened, and fresh air came across.
A six-grid graphene plate is placed on the round roof, and below is a test field composed of cultivation tanks separated by a base. I saw that in these cultivation tanks, there were standing plants shaped like palm trees.
A dozen researchers are around the cultivation tank, some are responsible for recording data, some are debugging experimental equipment, and some are checking the growth status of plants.
When the director of Jiang Chenhe Research Institute walked in, the researchers who were leading the experimental team's eyes lit up and immediately came forward.
The white man in a white coat looks tall and thin, and he is about fifty years old.
"This is Mr. Jiang Chen, the chairman of our group." Tao Ming said to the approaching researcher with a smile, and then led Jiang Jiang beside him.
"I am very happy to meet you Mr. Jiang Chen. I have long admired your name." Sullivan smiled and showed his white teeth, holding Jiang Chen's hand and shaking.
Next, Tao Ming introduced Professor Suliwen to Jiang Chen.
"This is Professor Bill Sullivan we hired from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research field is bioengineering and genetic technology. The main research direction is petroleum plants, and he has an authoritative position in the research of improved petroleum grass. "
"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Professor Sullivan. Thank you for joining us, our research project has made a big step forward." Jiang Chen said with a smile, holding back Professor Sullivan's hand.
"No, no, I should thank you." After releasing his hand, Sullivan shook his head very seriously and looked at Jiang Chen. "The DNA codes provided by you are very interesting. After the information, the original problems that bothered me were solved. Can I know who invented the code? If it is convenient, I hope to communicate with him. "
"Uh, it's a little difficult, because for various reasons, he can't come here for a while." Jiang Chen casually confuses this question, and then digresses, "I won't say this, How is the research going? Can you show me? "
Suliwen's expression seemed quite proud when Jiang Chen asked about the progress of the research.
"Of course, I will show you this."
After he finished, he turned around and led Jiang Chen and Tao Ming to a "palm tree", then spread his hands in the direction of the cultivation tank and smiled.
"This is our research result, oil palm."
Speaking, Sullivan made a gesture to the assistant, took the gloves from his hands and put them on, then opened the glass cover of the incubator.
"After modifying the DNA of the oil palm, after modifying 37 DNA fragments, after two generations of cultivation, the current oil palm tree named" oil palm "was obtained. The reason why it is called oil palm , Because the oil he produced is no longer the original palm oil, but a liquid close to 90% similar to oil ... like this. "
As he said, he took the knife from his assistant and stroked it gently on the surface of the palm tree.
A startling scene appeared.
Just scratching the bark, the dark red blood-like sap flows down the shallow wound!
The assistant who put on plastic gloves came forward and took 20ml of liquid with a beaker, and then got it under an instrument to conduct on-site composition identification.
Soon, a report was placed in front of Jiang Chen.
Although he ca n’t understand it, Jane has interpreted the parameters in the report for him.
In fact, as Professor Sullivan said, the composition of the sap produced by this oil palm is indeed surprisingly similar to that of oil! With a little treatment, you can get even better quality oil than underground!
“In the beginning, we tried to produce this liquid from the fruit. But later we found that if the tissue that secretes oil is designed in the vegetative tissue of the plant, it will greatly reduce the production efficiency. Later we simply deleted it. The related DNA was completely transformed into an unfruitful palm tree, and then the organs that secrete oil were designed next to the transmission tissue, and finally we got what we have now. "Said, Professor Sullivan was excited Knocked on the glass cover outside the cultivation tank, "Just open a small hole in the bark, you can harvest a lot of oil from the catheter under the bark!"
Looking at this plant, which looks no different from a palm tree, Jiang Chen's expression also became wonderful.
My obedient, grow oil from the ground, this Nima is simply RMB that will grow!
Although the relevant DNA of the oil plant was brought from the database at the end of the world, a piece of DNA code that could not be understood at all, far from seeing this "black gold" left under the bark and shocked!
Oh no, it ’s a dark red liquid ... it ’s his! As long as you can extract oil!
"What is the production cycle of this plant?" Jiang Chen asked immediately.
In his impression, the initial growth of palm plants is quite slow. After reaching maturity, the speed is almost one meter per year. If you wait five years before you can use this palm tree to mass produce oil, then the daylily will be cold!
“Without heavy seedlings to start planting, we can induce differentiation of oil palm by special means to make specific changes in part of the structure of vegetative and transduction tissues, and we can obtain finished plants! The cycle is only about two months! "Sullivan said affirmatively.
"Haha, you can make a big contribution this time!" Jiang Chen suddenly appeared. He patted Suliwen's shoulder and said loudly, "All the researchers participating in the project can get it A prize of half a million dollars! As for Professor Sullivan, I personally reward him another five million dollars! "
Everyone in the institute gasped. Even Tao Ming, who was standing behind Jiang Chen, couldn't help but frown.
The tens of millions of bonuses have been awarded. This is an international fear that there will be no more.
However, Jiang Chen didn't feel that the money was worth it at all. He would never be stingy with researchers.
Talents are always the core of the Future Group. Only by retaining these talents can we have a future!
