After obtaining the authority of artificial intelligence, the next thing to do is to go to the biological laboratory to extract the genes of related plants.

Wang Chen pondered for a long time, and finally turned his attention to one of the important food of the base, potatoes!

It can be said that the current base staple food is potatoes, sweet potatoes and a special hybrid rice.

Rice is a high-end special offering, and generally only people from the upper and middle classes can afford it.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are what ordinary people eat the most.

Especially potatoes, the potato seeds in Dilian have completed the 32nd hybridization.

Its per mu yield reached an astonishing 8,500 catties.

But so far it has reached its limit.

Hybridization alone has made it difficult to continue to increase potato yields.

As for why he chose potatoes, Wang Chen also thought about it for a long time.

This large amount of stuff to a large extent determines whether the grassroots personnel of the base can eat their stomachs.

To put it badly, as a researcher, he also belongs to the top-level existence in the system of the Earth Alliance.

The status of the general hospital is also second only to the official management of the local alliance.

As long as the earth is still alive, Wang Chen's quality of life will not be mistreated.

However, after researching a large amount of data, Wang Chen found that the grain reserves of Dilian are not very good.

So far, the output of the entire land union is basically at the level of eating as much as possible.

Total output is only two percent higher than annual consumption.

This is almost a state of no stock.

Once something goes wrong, famine can easily break out.

There have indeed been several major famines in history, one of which even affected more than 2,000 cities and killed nearly 100 million.

Large-scale uprisings broke out in various places, which almost threw off the land alliance.

There is nothing to do with the local alliance, after all, there is no food surplus on hand.

Only after enough people were allowed to die, the army was sent to suppress it.

The bottom layer of the base actually understands that if there is a problem with the base, they will be the first to be abandoned.

Therefore, in normal times, no matter which one of the underworld is involved, they would not dare to do any damage to the base.

After all, no matter how bad the base is, it is still safer than going to the wilderness to survive.

This is everyone's home, even if it's not beautiful or even cruel.

So Wang Chen felt that this situation had to be changed.

In a big way, this is to maintain the peace of all mankind, so that everyone can be twisted together.

In the small, that is to ensure your own safety.

After all, there is a riot in the lower classes, and once it gets out of control, the first unlucky person is the so-called high class.

Even if Wang Chen doesn't really agree with this statement, it is undeniable that he does eat Dilian and benefits from the general hospital.

Therefore, Wang Chen must hope to be safe and stable, and don't make trouble.

Choosing potatoes is for quick promotion.

Because after so long of hybridization, potatoes are now worthy of the least planted plants.

Even if it is not planted on the farm below, even if you just open a little field at home, and then get a purple light, you can support it.

The official of the Federation of Lands also encourages everyone to grow a little food on their own one-third of the land.

As the saying goes, if there is food at home, don’t panic, even if it’s just a little bit, it’s better than nothing.

So Wang Chen decided to practice with potatoes.

The requirements are not high, and if the yield per mu exceeds 10,000, it will be considered a success.

There is only one biological laboratory on the base, but almost no one goes there.

After all, biological research is basically carried out in the General Institute and several large bases. The laboratory here is still required by the General Institute.

Complete experimental equipment must be provided in all bases.

Someday a genius will pop up.

Anyway, this equipment does not need to be purchased by the base, and it is just given to a place. The heads of the various bases in the place naturally have no opinion.

Wang Chen also went directly to the laboratory after obtaining the authority of artificial intelligence.

As soon as I walked in, I felt a cloud of dust.

I am afraid that this room has not been visited for four or five years. Although it is clean, it is full of dust.

Fortunately, all the instruments were covered by dust cloths, which should be undamaged.

Frowning and looking around, this environment is definitely not up to the requirements.

It is necessary to do a cleaning first, and then turn on the dust-free aseptic processing system of the laboratory to do a good job of sterilization.

There is no way to call security on this matter. Although the equipment here is not the latest model, it is also high-end.

If the average person does not clean it, it is estimated that it will be easily damaged.

It can only be Wang Chen tossing it.

Fortunately, there are special cleaning tools in the utility room next to it, so there is no need to run around.

Taking off his coat, Wang Chen rolled up his sleeves and decided that he would not do anything today, so let's clean up the room first!

----------------------------------------

Two days later, looking at the brand-new laboratory, Wang Chen, who was too tired to straighten his waist, nodded in satisfaction.

Although there are not many equipment in this laboratory, it still took Wang Chen a lot of time to clean up these dozens of machines in one go.

Fortunately, after cleaning and checking, there is no problem with the equipment, and the system in the room can operate normally.

So far, the room has fully met the standards required for the test.

Sitting tiredly on the sofa in the room, Wang Chen took out a small sealed bag from his pocket while moving his neck.

This is the seedlings sent to the base by the Earth Federation, and Wang Chen specifically asked Du Gang for it.

It's basically a vacuum bag with a fist-sized potato.

This is where my own research begins.

If you want to complete the genetic enhancement of potatoes, you must first crack the genetic code of this thing.

Then, the synthetic gene-enhancing agent is injected into the germination stage after the potato is planted.

Let it fuse with its own genes, so that about three generations of reproduction can complete the genetic strengthening.

Based on the growth cycle of the potatoes at the base, it takes two months to complete the research. At worst, the study will take six months.

If the time for gene cracking is counted, it is estimated that this year will pass.

Of course, when the potatoes are growing, Wang Chen can also do other things. He only needs to check the potatoes regularly every day.

After resting for about half an hour, Wang Chen felt his physical strength recovered. Then Wang Chen sat in front of the workbench and cut the bag open with a knife.

After carefully cutting off a slice of potato, the genetic research has officially begun.

When Wang Chen extracted the potato's genes into the device, he was stunned when he saw this apparently powerful gene.

Good guy, have the gangsters in the main hospital tapped the potential of potatoes to this extent just by interbreeding?

This gene... If the perfection is 100%, it is at least 95%.

Basically, the potential that can be improved by normal means has been tapped to the limit.

It is no wonder that the current 33rd potato hybridization program has been in the stage of dystocia.

As far as the perfection of this gene is concerned, there is no way to continue strengthening it without genetic programming.

No matter what kind of animal or plant it is, the natural genes are defective. If you want to achieve 100% or more, you must use other means.

"Grass, it's a little tricky..."
