Chapter 341: Chapter 168: Debugging and Action

Jiang Miao didn’t rush off.

The award ceremony was still half a month away, so he planned to stay at the Luling Dairy Farm for a while.

So, he sent Liu Changqing and Ma Qianyang on their way, while he, Li Zixuan, and the others who had traveled north with him remained at the breeding base for a temporary stay.

「Early the next morning.」

After a half-hour run in the dairy farm’s activity area, he gathered the base’s veterinarian, nutritionist, livestock specialist, and other technicians and headed to the research area.

The facilities here were quite comprehensive, equipped with numerous genetic testing devices, a microbiology lab, and more.

Jiang Miao stared at an internal computer screen, looking over files of genetic data on the dairy cows.

Two men stood by his side. One was Zhan Ting, a Ph.D. in cattle breeding who had stayed on from the former Hero Dairy. The other was Dr. Zhang Siguang, a cattle breeding expert whom Hailufeng Company had poached from Shounong Group.

Both men were quite curious about Jiang Miao.

Although cattle breeding was their specialty, they didn’t dare underestimate Jiang Miao. After all, his breakthrough in artificial eel breeding technology was far more difficult than breeding dairy cows.

For cattle breeding, one could still draw on the advanced experience of Europe and America.

But the artificial breeding of eels was truly groundbreaking work.

"Are these the genetic sequences for 200 of the bulls currently at the Luling Breeding Base?"

Zhan Ting nodded. "Yes, Boss! It took me and a few assistants over three months to sequence all of these."

"Boss," Zhang Siguang added, a bit sheepishly, "we don’t have a cattle genome analysis system like the one at Shounong Group. You need to apply to the National Animal Husbandry Bureau to get access to that."

Jiang Miao shook his head. "We don’t need it. The company has its own genetic analysis system."

"Oh?" Zhang Siguang raised an eyebrow. "Is it a system from the Netherlands, or from America?"

"It was developed in-house." Jiang Miao took out his laptop and began importing the 200 bull genetic sequences and 200 high-yield cow genetic sequences, one by one, into the analysis system.

The genetic analysis system was called Nuwa, and its main program was stored on a private Hailufeng Company server. Although it could be accessed online, its connection route was hidden on the dark web. Without Jiang Miao’s specific methods, it was impossible to find its data path.

For instance, the custom-built laptop in his hands was one of the few external devices that could connect to Nuwa.

Of course, the private server’s computing power was nowhere near enough, so Jiang Miao had purchased services from a domestic, independent cloud computing platform.

Once the genetic data finished importing, Jiang Miao used a background process to link the rented cloud computing power to the Nuwa System. However, during this process, the generated data would turn into a huge mess of garbled code. Only with Jiang Miao’s special decryption program could one see even a fraction of it.

In truth, seeing that raw data was useless. It still required the Nuwa System for secondary processing and integration, a task with a computational load so small that the company’s private server could easily handle it.

This method ensured the Nuwa System’s confidentiality. As long as no one could get their hands on the server that stored the Nuwa System, there was no hope of cracking its secrets.

In reality, Jiang Miao already knew which of the bulls had potential.

Many of the breeding bulls Hero Dairy had purchased were cast-offs from other companies, but that didn’t mean they were without potential.

The accuracy of current gene analysis systems, both domestic and foreign, wasn’t as high as one might think. The number of corresponding gene fragments they could identify was also quite limited.

After all, as long as these cattle breeding companies used their analysis systems over the internet, they were effectively transparent to Jiang Miao.

He had seen the beneficial-gene databases of the domestic cattle breeding systems, as well as those from America, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, the Duchy, and East Japan.

Factoring in his full day of observing the cows yesterday, the readjusted beneficial-gene database was now 8.6 times larger than America’s, which was currently the largest in the world.

After opening the Nuwa System’s dairy cow gene analysis page and activating the "Beneficial Dairy Cow Gene Database" plugin, analyses for the 200 bulls and 200 cows began to generate rapidly. A new one was completed every ten seconds. He had, after all, rented the power of a supercomputer, and the model’s high precision dramatically increased the Nuwa System’s analysis speed.

「One hour and six minutes.」

The final genetic analysis report was generated.

Zhang Siguang, watching from the side, was dumbfounded. "It’s... it’s already done?"

Jiang Miao shook his head. "Not yet. The most important part comes next."

"I know. Next, we need to perform a secondary screening on these results." Zhang Siguang assumed the Nuwa System was like the other genome analysis systems he’d seen, which required a manual second pass.

"No need." Jiang Miao activated the Nuwa System’s genetic pairing function.

Instantly, the genetic sequences of the 200 bulls and 200 cows began pairing off.

[Bull 0085 (X) + Cow 0152 (X) = Cow 1005286...]

[Bull 0109 (Y) + Cow 0100 (X) = Bull 1009657...]

[Bull 0146 (X) + Cow 0009 (X) = Cow 1008570...]

Amid the vast number of pairing combinations.

Highly beneficial combinations were quickly identified. Of course, these were only simulated results from the computational analysis; there was no guarantee the resulting offspring would exhibit the simulated beneficial traits with one hundred percent certainty.
