The Black Technology Era of Xueba

Chapter 367 Future Farm

What was originally used for slaughtering and drying meat was quickly refurbished into an aseptic breeding facility within three days.

The interior of the workshop is a three-dimensional culture rack arrangement.

The culture rack is a row of half a meter, each row is two meters high, and is divided into two layers. Each layer is a cubic plexiglass with a height of one meter and a length and width of 30 cm.

At present, according to the program module, the type of meat cultured in the culture rack can be adjusted, which can be adjusted according to muscle density, fat density, and even whether or not to produce bones, such as tenderloin, upper brain, ribs, etc.

A slender polymer bundle tube runs through the upper and lower glass boxes from top to bottom, and the glass boxes are filled with a culture medium—artificial serum.

There is a certain difference between the artificial serum of the laboratory and the serum produced by animals. The serum contains the interfering agent developed by Pangu Technology. The purpose of the interference machine is to accelerate the growth of beef tissue, and the dose of the interference machine is controlled by Super Xiaochu.

In the process of mass production, the culture medium is imitated by blood, which ensures sufficient nutrients and oxygen at any time, so the culture medium is recycled. At the end of the factory, there is a filter device that collects waste from cells and tissue metabolism and adds fresh material.

In the design of the equipment, Gao Siqi also considered the cultivation of plant crops in the future, because the wastes metabolized by meat tissues are the nutrients metabolized by plant tissues.

In the glass container, the primary cells are attached to the macromolecular tube and grow happily after absorbing nutrients.

According to the model of primary cell culture, after the passage of cells increases, they will inhibit each other and cause some cells to die.

However, the laboratory has done tricks in the regulation of gene expression and introduced the technology of telomere non-reduction, which allows cells to proliferate indefinitely in an incubator according to the nth power of 2.

The generation of proliferation is monitored by Xiaochu. When each piece of meat reaches 20 pounds, Xiaochu will control the regulator to adjust the ratio of the culture medium to stop the growth of the tissue. This is the time of harvesting. The time from culture to harvest is approximately in about two weeks.

Because the glass incubator is movable and detachable, it can be fully mechanized during harvesting, and the glass incubator is automatically lowered to the conveyor belt under the rack, and then transported to the harvesting workshop.

In the harvesting workshop, the incubator will first drain the serum-like culture medium in it, and the beef will be pulled out along with the bundle tube. The bundle tube will be peeled off at the moment of pulling out, and the beef will be packed in a vacuum bag, which ensures the maximum quality of the beef. Fresh and hygienic.

The vacuumed beef can be sent to the supermarket or market for sale immediately, or it can be sent to the freezer for refrigeration.

Except for a few technicians, the whole process is controlled by the artificial intelligence Xiaochu without a single worker. In today's skyrocketing labor costs, this is quite a cost-effective approach.

Xiaochu quickly calculated the operating cost of the factory. If he did not calculate the cost of buying the factory, land, and equipment, he only calculated the cost of the production project and the wages of the technicians. The cost of each catty of beef was seven yuan. And with the expansion of the scale of the factory, the cost will be further reduced to about five yuan per catty of beef.

Fast production speed, low cost, safety and health are the representatives of large-scale production in factories.

During this period of time, Xiao Ming guided the final decoration of the headquarters building and the installation of equipment and instruments in Pangu Science and Technology Park, but whenever he had time, he would go to Minghui Food Factory to check the production progress.

After the first small batch, one ton of beef came off the production line, Xiao Ming asked workers to transport it to Banruo Village and Pangu Technology Headquarters.

"Publicly explain to everyone that this is our new product, and let the canteen add it to the daily recipe."

Gao Siqi said: "The production line is already an assembly line operation. We now have a total of four production lines, which can produce an average of 20 tons of beef per week."

A well-bred cattle is generally raised to 1500 catties (0.75 tons) for slaughter.

In this way, the factory's output per week is about 27 cattle, and it is pure meat, without cowhide, internal organs and other products.

The four production lines of Pangu Technology Minghui Food Co., Ltd. are equivalent to traditional medium-sized ranches.

Even a medium-sized farm cannot guarantee a supply of 27 cows per week, which is the gap between technological production and traditional production.

"Has the sales link been confirmed?" Xiao Ming is more concerned about this issue.

"Of course!" Gao Siqi said: "We have obtained all the qualification certificates for raw meat sales, and we have already negotiated with the large supermarkets in Jiangcheng about the sale."

The farmers market is relatively scattered and difficult to control, so this time the main sales locations for beef are the major supermarkets in Jiangcheng.

Regarding the issue of sales, Gao Siqi would not worry too much about Guan Xiaoming.

He said: "The main thing is to do a good job in the publicity of food, so that consumers can recognize modern agriculture, and then put it on the shelves after publicity."

Gao Siqi understands that it is a daunting challenge to use the entire Jiangcheng market to experiment with future agricultural technologies. Consumers who are accustomed to traditional agriculture have a deep-rooted view that beef must grow on cattle, and rice must come from rice fields.

If they know that the beef comes from tissue culture in a laboratory, from a standardized cultivation factory, they don't know if there is any desire to buy it.

Xiao Ming and Gao Siqi walked out of the factory together. Xiao Ming pointed to the Jiangcheng TV Tower, a landmark building in Jiangcheng in the distance, and said, "What kind of landmark building do you think should appear in a city?"

Gao Siqi smiled and said, "Pangu Technology's headquarters building? Haha, I don't know, it shouldn't be a TV tower anyway."

Xiao Ming said: "It should be a perfect food production building, and agriculture should be modernized and urbanized. Meat, rice, vegetables, fruits, the food that each city needs should be solved by the city itself, and each city should have its own food production bank.”

Gao Siqi knew what Xiao Ming was expressing. If the life science laboratory had enough samples and sufficient technical conditions, it would be possible to create a food building that integrates food production, meat and fruit.

If this grand goal can really be realized, then the economic and social pattern of the Xia Kingdom will undergo major changes.

The profession of peasants will be officially launched on the stage of history, and the Xia Kingdom will have a large amount of land available for use, either returning farmland to forests, or for construction. But it is conceivable that when the supply of land increases, housing prices will fall, and Xia Guo's economy will face a new transformation.

And countless peasants who have freed their hands may be eliminated by history, or they may become new labor force under new technology.

Neither Xiao Ming nor Gao Siqi can tell what the future will hold, but they believe that time will tell everything.

However, before imagining the future, what Pangu Technology has to do is to make a 60-minute documentary "How Beef Is Produced".
