On September 28, oil prices, which continued to rise, hit the highest gain of the month, closing at $71 a barrel, more than doubled compared to before the year.
Jiang Chen also saw the pressure on the global economy by high oil prices.
Affected by the rising costs, the profits of several projects of Renhe Heavy Industry in the future fell by 13% year-on-year compared with the previous quarter.
Future Ren Biology and Future Ren Mining have also been slightly affected, and Future Ren Travel Profits remain the same as last quarter. The only one that maintains an upward trend is Future Ren Technology.
As long as you maintain technology leadership, the Internet is like an endless mine of gold.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) issued a statement on the same day that OPEC member states will hold an informal meeting in Algeria in October to discuss moderate increase in production and maintain stability in the oil market.
Only when oil prices stabilize 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, oil demand will shrink in the future, and their lives will become difficult.
However, after the announcement, the rising oil prices did not curb.
Elon Musk, the boss of Trass, once said: You can use such a precious chemical raw material for oil to burn?
The petrochemical level is one of the standards for measuring a country's basic industrial development level, and ethylene output is a sign of measuring the development level of a country's petrochemical industry.
The fuel function is only the ultimate function of oil, otherwise why not use gasoline to measure the development level of the country's basic industry?
Basic chemical raw materials represented by ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene and xylene are all from petroleum!
The high oil price is indeed a big trouble for emerging economies.
However, for Jiang Chen, who has the entire 22nd century technology, this trouble is not as great as imagined.
Not enough oil?Then just use something else instead!
At this moment, in the laboratory of Future Human Biology, Jiang Chen walked into 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 the fresh air came to my face.
The round roof is covered with six grid-shaped graphene plates, and below is a test field composed of separated cultivation tanks.
I saw that in these culture tanks, plants that looked like palm trees were standing.
More than a dozen researchers were centered around the culture tank, some were responsible for recording data, some debugging experimental equipment, and some checking the growth status of the plants.
When he saw Jiang Chen and the director of the research institute come in, the researchers who were leading the experimental team's eyes lit up and they immediately walked up.
The white man in a white coat looked tall and thin, and was about fifty years old.
This is Mr. Jiang Chen, the chairman of our group.Tao Ming smiled at the researcher who was walking towards him, and then led out Jiang Chen beside him.
I am very happy to know you, Mr. Jiang Chen, and I have long admired your name.Suriwen smiled and showed her white teeth, holding Jiang Chen's hand and shook it.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Ming introduced Professor Suliwen in front of Jiang Chen.
This is Professor Bill Suriwen, who we hired from MIT. His research field is bioengineering and genetic technology, and his main research direction is petroleum plants, and he has an authoritative position in research related to improved petroleum grasses.
I'm also happy to meet you, Professor Suriwen.Thank you for joining us, our research topic has taken a big step forward.Jiang Chen smiled and said, holding Professor Suliwen's hand.
No, no, I should be thanking you.After letting go of his hand, Suriwen shook his head seriously and looked at Jiang Chen and said, "The DNA code you provide is very interesting. After seeing the information, the several problems that originally troubled me were solved immediately.Can I know who invented that code?If it is convenient, I hope to communicate with him.
Well, this is a bit difficult, because he can't come here for a while for various reasons.After Jiang Chen casually fooled this issue, he then changed the topic and stopped talking about it. How is the research progress?Can you show it for me?
When Jiang Chen asked about the research progress, Suriwen's expression seemed quite proud.
Of course, I'll show it for you.
After saying that, he turned around and took 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.
As he said that, Suriven gestured to his assistant, took the gloves from him and put them on, then opened the glass cover of the cultivation compartment.
After modifying the DNA of oil palm, 37 DNA fragments were modified and after two generations of cultivation, the variant oil palm tree, now called 'oil palm', was obtained.The reason why it is called oil palm is because the oil it produces is no longer the original palm oil, but a liquid with a similarity of nearly 90% to oil... Just like that.
As he said that, he took the knife from his assistant and gently stroked the surface of the palm tree.
An amazing scene appeared.
Just cutting through the bark, the dark red sap, like blood, flowed down the shallow wound!
The assistant wearing plastic gloves stepped forward, took 20ml of liquid with a beaker, and then got an instrument to conduct on-site ingredient identification.
Soon, a report was placed in front of Jiang Chen.
Although he couldn't understand, Jane had interpreted the parameters in the report for him.
As Professor Suriwen said, the sap produced by this oil palm is indeed surprisingly similar to that of oil!
With a little treatment, you can get even better oil than those mined underground!
At the beginning we tried to produce this liquid through the fruits that were produced.However, we later found that if the petroleum-secreting tissue is designed in the nutritional tissue of the plant, the production efficiency will be greatly reduced.Later we simply deleted the relevant DNA and completely transformed it into a fruitful palm tree. Then we designed the oil-secreting organ next to the conduction tissue, and finally we got the thing we are now.As he said that, Professor Suriwen excitedly knocked on the glass cover outside the culture tank. He only needed to make a small hole in the bark to harvest a large amount of oil from the catheter under the bark!
Looking at this plant that grows no different from a palm tree, Jiang Chen's expression also became more exciting.
My goodness, I grow oil from the ground. This is a RMB that can grow!
Although the DNA related to oil plants was brought by him from the database of the Apocalypse, a piece of DNA code that he could not understand was far from seeing this with his own eyes. The black gold was left under the bark and shocked!
Oh no, it's a dark red liquid...and what about him!As long as you can extract oil!
What is the production cycle of this plant?Jiang Chen asked immediately.
In his impression, the early growth of the Palmaceae plants is quite slow.
After reaching the maturity stage, it is only about one meter a year.
If you wait for five years to use this palm tree to mass produce oil, the daylily will be cold by then!
Without heavy seedlings starting to plant, we can use special means to induce differentiation of oil palm, so that some structures in its nutrient tissue and transport tissue can be specifically mutated, and then we can obtain finished plants!This cycle of inducing differentiation is only about two months!Surivan said affirmatively.
Haha, you have made great contributions this time!Jiang Chen suddenly showed joy, patted Suriwen on the shoulder, and said loudly that all the researchers involved in the project can receive a prize of 500,000 US dollars!As for Professor Suriwen, I personally reward him with another five million dollars!
Everyone in the institute gasped.Even Tao Ming, who was standing behind Jiang Chen, couldn't help but jump.
The bonus alone was awarded tens of millions, and I’m afraid there was no one else in the international community.
However, Jiang Chen did not think that the money was worth it at all, and he would never be stingy in spending on researchers.
