Chapter 10 Genetically Modified Corn

The seeds purchased by Ye Quan are all carefully selected, and there is no indication on the packaging that they are genetically modified seeds. It seems that once again, unscrupulous merchants are secretly introducing them into the market

The races that have reached a medium level of civilization no longer consume ordinary grains, vegetables, and fruits, but rather spiritual fruits and spiritual rice; high-grade spiritual fruits and spiritual rice are comparable to the legendary divine elixirs, and in the society of advanced civilizations, they are also extremely scarce resources

Optimize all genetically modified corn and repair genetic defects, requiring a total of 627 points

Reports from some authoritative institutions around the world, after conducting research on genetically modified foods, indicate that experimental animals exhibited varying degrees of damage to their lungs, livers, kidneys, and other organs after consuming genetically modified foods. Additionally, abnormalities in immune function were observed, along with a decline in reproductive capacity. The offspring produced displayed disadvantages such as low weight, weak constitution, and poor reproductive ability

Animals that have consumed genetically modified feed have also exhibited various abnormalities: pigs have experienced pseudopregnancy or infertility; the mortality rate of chickens is twice as high compared to those fed with natural feed

The vast majority of developed countries in the world, such as the European Union, Country E, and Japan, prohibit the cultivation, production, and sale of genetically modified foods. In contrast, some countries like the United States, despite having extensive cultivation within their own borders, primarily use it for export, and Americans themselves hardly consume it. Even animal feed is regulated, while the people of Africa would rather endure famine than import genetically modified foods

Currently, genetically modified rice seeds, rice, corn, vegetables, fruits, and all genetically modified seeds and foods have entered the market, making genetically modified foods ubiquitous: potatoes, tomatoes, papayas, soybean oil, salad oil, blended oil, beverages, milk powder, biscuits

Upon hearing that these multiple spirit energy values would be consumed, Ye Quan did not hesitate and said: "Decompose all these genetically modified seeds and the three acres of glutinous corn."

The fruits and grains harvested through spiritual plants are respectively called spiritual fruits and spiritual rice, which contain extremely high levels of spiritual energy. They have miraculous effects on enhancing physical constitution, improving mental power, replenishing blood and energy, alleviating aging, and treating illnesses and injuries

The required psychic energy for optimization will be adjusted based on the size and variety of the fruit trees. For instance, optimizing a sapling and a mature tree will undoubtedly require different amounts of psychic energy.

Ye Quan was taken aback upon hearing this; after all, he is an undergraduate majoring in biological sciences and naturally has a certain understanding of the dangers of genetically modified foods

After some consideration, Ye Quan decided to spend 1,500 points of psychic energy to first exchange for a labor-type bioengineered human.

Do not optimize for the time being. Without much thought, Ye Quan abandoned the plan to optimize the seeds and fruit trees, deciding to wait until there is an abundance of spiritual energy value in the future.

Intelligent Road: "Understood, there are still 34 acres of vacant land available. Should we proceed with tilling and sowing?"

There are currently 24 types of seeds weighing a total of 8326 grams, and optimizing the yield requires the consumption of 277 points of spiritual energy; there are a total of 1600 fruit tree seedlings, and optimizing the yield requires the consumption of 986 points of spiritual energy

It is alarming that genetically modified crops, due to their advantages in high yield, disease resistance, and pest control over native crops, have proliferated globally. Some individuals or organizations, driven by their own interests, completely disregard the various dangers posed by genetically modified foods, instead promoting and advocating for them vigorously, which is utterly shameful

However, Ye Quan asked with concern, "Are there any issues for the human body if these seeds are not optimized for consumption?"

The technology to artificially create an environment with a spiritual energy concentration exceeding 30% requires at least a Level 4 civilization that has explored the "Biological Spiritual Energy Laws". Furthermore, the comprehensive optimization of spiritual plants is a means available only to civilizations above Level 4

Ye Quan forced a smile; he had just felt excited about obtaining some spiritual energy points, but he soon realized that this amount of spiritual energy points was simply insufficient

After comprehensive optimization, planting in an environment with a spiritual concentration exceeding 30% can elevate ordinary plants to the level of first-grade spiritual plants

However, even the lowest-grade spiritual plants require a growth environment with a spiritual energy concentration exceeding 30%. Currently, the average spiritual energy concentration on Earth is only 10%, and only a very few remote areas with abundant biological resources exceed 20%. As for whether there are places with a spiritual energy concentration of 30%, it is uncertain. Perhaps only the legendary paradises and blessed lands might have such a possibility

The general public has already found itself surrounded by genetically modified foods and has lost the right to choose not to consume them

Ye Quan quickly replied, although he was exhausted from loosening the soil and sowing seeds, every bit of spiritual energy was incredibly precious at this moment, and he could not bear to use any of it

The information provided to Ye Quan regarding spiritual plants refers to spiritual fruit trees, spiritual herbs, and spiritual rice cultivated by civilizations of medium level and above. Any animal or plant capable of absorbing, transforming, and storing spiritual energy can be referred to as spiritual beasts and spiritual plants

In contrast, ordinary plants can only absorb spiritual energy in a simple manner and are unable to transform and store it

How many points are needed to optimize these genetically modified seeds

The terms "genetic engineering," "gene engineering," and "genetic transformation" commonly referred to by people are all synonyms for transgenic.

After hearing the response from Space Intelligence, Ye Quan finally felt at ease and said, "In the future, if genetically modified seeds and foods enter space, please notify me immediately"

Since the advent of the psychic space, Ye Quan has begun to pay attention to food health and dietary hygiene. He does not eat it himself, and naturally does not want to harm others with it

In fact, the space itself has a certain optimizing effect on seeds. Through seed retention, crops exhibit improved yield and quality from generation to generation, although this process is relatively slow, unlike spatial optimization, which can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.

Ye Quan did not expect that he had also planted genetically modified crops. Fortunately, the growth period of corn is longer than that of cabbage and radishes, and it has not yet been put on the market for sale. Otherwise, his transgression would have been significant.

"How much psychic energy is required to optimize the yield of the existing seeds in the space?" Ye Quan asked

The existing seeds in the space are either native seeds or hybrid seeds, which have no adverse effects on the human body

No need for ! ''

Ye Quan previously struggled at the bottom of society, often relying on fast food restaurants to fill his stomach, even though he knew it was detrimental to his health, he had no other choice

Ye Quan was still in pain, and the intelligent system stated: "Discovered 25 types of plant seeds and 1,600 fruit tree seedlings, should optimization be carried out? Among them, there are 1,415 grams of glutinous corn seeds that are genetically modified products, it is recommended to optimize immediately, conduct gene repair, or decompose them to avoid adverse effects on the human body after consumption"

Ye Quan purchased two types of corn seeds: one is sweet corn, which was planted on 2 acres; the other is glutinous corn, which was planted on 3 acres. The genetically modified seeds suggested by the smart space are the glutinous corn.

Genetic modification technology refers to the process of introducing artificially isolated and modified genes into the genome of an organism. The expression of the introduced genes leads to heritable modifications of the organism's traits. This technology is known as genetic modification technology

Currently, the vast majority of soybean oil and most soybean products consumed by the Chinese people are genetically modified foods. These soybeans primarily come from the United States, as well as Argentina and Brazil, which cultivate American genetically modified soybeans

It is worth noting that optimizing the yield of seeds and fruit trees is extremely cost-effective, as an increase in yield signifies the ability to obtain more spiritual energy. However, this means that the newly acquired spiritual energy would be depleted, and he has yet to experience the miraculous effects of using spiritual energy to heal his body

The New China has already cultivated genetically modified crops such as cotton, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and papayas, and has also planted genetically modified rice in some regions. This genetically modified rice is sold mixed with ordinary rice

The information stored in Ye Quan's mind regarding spatial input pertains to plant optimization. This involves the enhancement of plants or seeds, which can repair inherent genetic defects and can improve plant quality either unilaterally or comprehensively. Areas that can be optimized include yield, flavor, shelf life, disease resistance, and drought and flood tolerance, as well as the size and color of the fruits produced by the plants.

Yes, Master, a total of 10,283 kilograms of genetically modified corn has been decomposed, yielding 91 points of energy value

Is it necessary to consume so much
