Chapter 245 Important News

Since that night in early 1985, when he was on the way home, he encountered the blind Chris, Gan Guoyang has always avoided two types of things: one is politics and the other is science and technology.

Although Gan Guoyang was neither a member of the Online Keyboard Politburo nor a participant in the enlarged online military conference in later generations, he knew that in this era, politics and technology are the two factors that have the greatest impact on mankind. In Gan Guoyang's view, it is his greatest luxury to change history and win an NBA championship.

But many times, the world does not change according to personal will. If Gan Guoyang knew what the county party secretary who shook hands with him would be like in the future, he would probably leave Monsanto's factory quickly and go to Houston to practice football.

Gan Guoyang traveled in 2011. At that time, except for the country's top leader and second-in-command, Gan Guoyang did not know any of the other senior leaders. So after he shook hands with the county party secretary of Zhengding County and greeted other members of the inspection team from China, he began to visit the production base in Monsanto with the inspection team.

Logically speaking, "uninvited guests" like Gan Guoyang should not be inserted casually, but Gan Guoyang is really famous in the United States. The inspection team from China did not expect that there was a Chinese who played well in the American basketball industry, which surprised and admired them.

Gan Guoyang and these seniors from their hometown also broke the barriers of time and space and began to talk about various changes in China.

Gan Guoyang left China in 1981, and his memory still retains all the memories about China from birth to 1981, so there will be no problems when communicating with the people in the inspection team.

What they talked the most was naturally about China's various reforms. Before the emergence of Gan Guoyang, the delegation mainly talked about the feelings after the United States. As soon as Gan Guoyang appeared, they focused their attention on the country. Anyway, they couldn't understand the high-tech agricultural technologies of Monsanto for a while.

At that time, China's reform and opening up was still in its early stages. In 1985, the country's focus was rural work and enterprise reform, so this visit to the United States was conducted in Zhengding County.

However, on many details of the reform, many different voices have appeared within the Party and across the country, and naturally there will be different opinions and opinions in the inspection team.

As a time traveler with future history knowledge, Gan Guoyang looked at his eyes and his nose and his heart at this time, and did not participate in their discussions. Besides, Gan Guoyang only had a slight understanding of this history, and he did not travel through time after he was ready, so he did not dare to talk nonsense, for fear of letting go of it, especially if he confused the time, something might happen.

Before we knew it, the group had already walked into the Monsanto GM cultivation ground where many GM watermelons were planted. The big watermelon that Gan Guoyang ate last night was a GM product.

"Comrade Gan Guoyang, what do you think of Monsanto's genetically modified technology?" The secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee, who had not participated in the discussion of the inspection team, suddenly asked Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang has never been called a comrade in the United States. He felt quite friendly when he was called like this, but he felt a little troubled with this problem.

Gan Guoyang naturally doesn't understand the genetically modified technology. Although he ate a genetically modified watermelon yesterday, he is still lively and still has to give advice on the genetically modified method, he really doesn't know what to say.

Gan Guoyang also knew that with the development of science and technology, the two sides of science and technology are becoming stronger and stronger, bringing both new life that cannot be imagined and dared to think, and also bringing various troublesome problems.

Therefore, in later generations and in the 1980s, people's attitude towards technology also changed dramatically.

In the seventies and eighties, it was when people were pursuing various high-tech technologies. From the film and television works at that time, we can see that the Star Wars series, E-T, and science fiction works such as the upcoming return to the future, which will be released in 1985, people have no good vision for high-tech.

But in the 21st century, people are becoming more and more cautious about science, and they think more and more about human nature and future destiny in science fiction works. In life, more and more people pursue "return to nature", and society has also experienced the phenomenon of technological decline.

Gan Guoyang learned sociology in later generations. He understood that when people faced increasingly powerful science and technology, genetically modified technology was one of the key points of controversy.

"Secretary Xi, I think whether a science and technology can ultimately benefit mankind and what impact it will have on mankind in the future requires long-term research and observation. Many technologies that were once considered beneficial have been proven to be more harmful in the end." Gan Guoyang said.

"However, we cannot give up on the development of science and technology because of this. The disasters brought about by China's modern times because of its stagnation in all aspects are bloody lessons. Is genetic modification good? I am just a basketball player, and I am not qualified to evaluate it. However, no matter what high-tech, the country should develop and study it. Good or bad should be evaluated by competent scientists." Gan Guoyang continued.

Gan Guoyang's words are actually not much different from not saying anything, but as an athlete, he was able to stand at this height and answer this question with such a way of thinking, which was not expected by the people in the inspection team.

The county party secretary of Zhengding nodded after hearing this, and did not say anything more. He continued to visit with Monsanto's guide.

Gan Guoyang also breathed a sigh of relief. Gan Guoyang had seen many celebrities in the United States. For example, Michael Jackson is now a superstar in the American music scene. No one in the NBA can compare with him. Gan Guoyang has never been nervous in front of Jackson.

However, in front of the Zhengding County Party Secretary, Gan Guoyang was a little moved forward. He always felt like a subordinate who reported his work to his leaders.

Regarding the issue of genetic modification, Gan Guoyang has also argued a lot on the Internet in later generations. He had known that this was a dead end. Those who supported him felt that the opposing people had no scientific literacy, and those who opposed him felt that the supporters were scientific religiousism or were simply thugs of agricultural companies.

Gan Guoyang didn't want to bring this debate to this time and space in advance. Anyway, he just fooled it with a few words of good words.

After the morning visit, Monsanto invited all the delegation to have a meal with Gan Guoyang, Stockton and Hansen. As for whether the meal was genetically modified Gan Guoyang, he didn't know whether it was a genetically modified Gan Guoyang, anyway, he didn't care.

In the afternoon, Gan Guoyang and Stockton decided to go to Hansen's farm for fun. Hansen's farm had an outdoor basketball stand. Gan Guoyang's hands had already started to itch. For him, basketball was the most important thing.

Before saying goodbye, Gan Guoyang and the people from the inspection team took photos together. Finally, Gan Guoyang also took a photo with the county party secretary of Zhengding County.

"Goodbye, Secretary Xi, I hope the motherland can develop better and better. I also believe that China will become rich soon and follow the United States!... And this photo, I believe, will become very precious in the future!" Gan Guoyang held the photo of the two of them in his hand. He thought that the NBA would soon enter China. By then, as long as he still played well in China, his influence would definitely be great, and this photo would naturally be very precious.

Gan Guoyang is right. This photo will indeed become very precious, but it is not only because the NBA entered China, but more importantly, it is the life trajectory of the county party secretary in the future. Gan Guoyang never imagined this.

"Goodbye, Comrade Gan Guoyang, your words are very inspiring. I actually don't understand basketball, but I will pay attention to basketball in the future... Oh, Comrade Gan Guoyang, I heard that after a while, the Chinese men's basketball team will also visit the United States. As a Chinese player, you will definitely meet them. At that time, you will be able to have a good conversation!" The county party secretary held Gan Guoyang's hand and said with a smile, but he threw another bombshell to Gan Guoyang.

"Is the Chinese men's basketball team going to visit the United States?" Gan Guoyang couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard this news.

Since the Chinese men's basketball team is going to visit the United States, Gan Guoyang is going to participate in the reception of the Chinese men's basketball team by the US Basketball Association, and it will definitely be necessary to play with them at that time.

Gan Guoyang still remembers that at the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympic Games, the athlete representing China as the entry flag bearer was the power forward of the Chinese men's basketball team, Song Tao.

If Gan Guoyang did not come to this era, Song Tao would become the first player in China to be selected by the NBA - although he regretfully missed this opportunity due to injury.

In 1984, Gan Guoyang watched the Chinese men's basketball team's Olympics, but he had no chance to contact them. This time he had a real chance to get close.

When Gan Guoyang learned this news, he was more nervous than playing in the Western Conference Finals, because in Gan Guoyang's heart, he always hoped to represent the Chinese men's basketball team in international competitions. Even if he was punished for disrupting history, he was willing to take this risk.

After leaving Monsanto in Hansen's father's car and coming to Hansen's farm, Gan Guoyang lost his previous interest and began to think about the Chinese national team.

"Hey John, do you have a phone call from Stern's office?" Gan Guoyang suddenly asked Stockton.

"What's wrong, do you want to ask the President to pay you?"
