354 Nutrient Supply Plan (2/2)

[Nutrient supply? That's an interesting name…] Zhan Shujie muttered to himself despite reading about the company before he came.

The two security guards on duty at the pharmaceutical plant were also from Celestial Trade. They wore carbon nano-injected bulletproof vests with Reaper Assault Rifles and tactical helmets.

”Is it not safe here?” Zhan Shujie anxiously looked at the two soldiers as he said, worried.

”Don't worry, it's extremely safe here. But just in case, I hired two security personnel to protect the safety of the employees and to also protect the security of the high tech equipment inside.

When they got off the car and walked into the plant, the soldiers at the door subconsciously wanted to salute to Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen stopped them with a look.

They walked to the empty ground of the plant as Jiang Chen first pointed at the direction near the coast.

”The plant is a seaweed farm, used to breed our company-developed DH-type seaweed. This seaweed is derived from the induction of the differentiation of Sargassum, which can produce and accumulate a variety of animal proteins in seaweed cells-”

”That's impossible!” Zhan Shujie was stunned as he looked at Jiang Chen skeptically. ”As far as I know, in the field of the preparation of plants for animal protein, Hokkaido University in Japan is currently at the forefront of the field. But they are only able to do it with the production of a plant to produce interfering hepatitis virus protein animal protein and they're only in the experimental stage. Also, I've never heard that someone could use a plant to produce a variety of animal protein! Also, seaweed cells aren't embryonic liver cells, so how could the orientation-induced technique work? In theory, this wouldn't work!”

Zhan Shujie blasted at Jiang Chen, while Jiang Chen tilted his head and shook his finger to show off.

”Nothing is impossible, especially in my company. If you don't believe me, just take a sample yourself.”

Zhan Shujie looked at Jiang Chen still with skepticism and took a deep breath.

”Okay, I'll believe it once I see it. But I have another question: growing the new species with the open environment - would that affect the biological sphere of the nearby sea?

”No.” Jiang Chen shook his head. ”Since it's induced differentiation, the genes of this DH seaweed still belong to Sargassum, so the spores produced by the progeny are also Sargassum. The telomeres of this DH-type seaweed are precisely targeted like cancer cells, which are theoretically infinite. The task of workers is to feed nutrients every day, then trim the 'leaves.'

This was what the researchers at the fallout shelter told him, and he didn't have the knowledge to explain much further, so Jiang Chen changed the topic and pointed at the structure the size of three basketball fields.

”The key equipment is inside. Your work is to coordinate the entire pharmaceutical plant's production, take samples to examine if the DH seaweed is thriving, and take samples to ensure the quality of the nutrient supply… Of course, all of the details are in the work manual. I will give you a USB and the videos on it will teach you how to control the equipment inside the plant. If there are any problems you can't solve, please contact me.”

As Jiang Chen spoke, he took Zhan Shujie inside the pharmaceutical plant and pointed at the machine in the center.

”This is it - the production line of nutrient supply, the core of the entire plant.”

On the left was the organic converter with the shape of a cylinder; it could extract nutrients from the specially produced seaweed to process into the nutrient supply. On the right hand was an assembly for bottling as it would place the extract into coin-shaped plastic tubes before they were sealed.

Regarding this set of equipment, Zhan Shujie didn't seem to be too interested, but regarding the organic converter, it completely drew all his attention.

”The molecular filter from the legend is inside this machine?”

”Ahem, not from the legend. Our company's molecular orientation screening technology is mature. The molecular filter is only one of the parts of the organic converter - there are also other devices inside.” Jiang Chen came up with an elaborate story.

”What else?” The fervent passion once again appeared on Zhan Shujie's face.

It was the zeal a scientist possessed when he wanted to learn about a technology he didn't know about.

”Trade secret,” Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.

Zhan Shujie paused for a moment as he realized that he was overzealous, so he apologized, ”Sorry, I got too excited.”

”It's okay, I understand how you feel,” Jiang Chen said gently.

Zhan Shujie walked in front of the organic converter as he put his hand on the cold steel. He exclaimed.

”Hard to believe… that this breakthrough technology will first be used in the civil field to produce a drink. This… this is a waste of God-given technology.”

To be honest, two reasons drew him here. The half a million salary and the technology Future Biology said they possessed.

Plant cell orientation induced differentiation could produce a variety of animal protein algae. High-precision molecular screening technology - any of technology here - could contend for the Nobel prize.

But this guy wanted to use these to produce a drink?
