The growth of any plant needs enough nutrients, if the nutrients are lost, the growth of the plant will slowly stop. Yang Fang smiled and said, "This is also in line with the law of conservation of energy."
While Yang Fang was talking, although the plants inside were still moving, the movement was getting smaller and smaller. Seeing this, Yang Fang motioned the staff to open it.
I saw two experimenters open the glass door, and a pile of vines poured out all of a sudden.
Yang Fang sorted out a very ugly and even deformed pumpkin from the vine, and then smiled at the crowd and introduced: "This technology is still very immature, although we can make it fast. It grows, but it cannot control its growth process, and its growth and development is very unstable, so this kind of developmental deformity will occur whether it is vines or these fruits.
Of course, because the growth rate is too fast, it may cause defects in its genes, which will cause some problems. At present, there are relatively few studies in this area, so it is impossible to determine the safety of this technology, especially the safety of eating as an agricultural product. "
Hearing Yang Fang's words, Zhang Jun waved his hands again and again: "The kind just now is acceptable, but this is completely unacceptable. No matter how delicious it is, I can't eat it, it's disgusting."
Zhang Jun's words were nodded and agreed by everyone present. Indeed, this kind of thing looked a little scary, and it was definitely impossible for everyone to eat the fruits and vegetables grown from this plant.
How did you do it? Wu Hao ignored Zhang Jun's words, but asked Yang Fang.
Hearing his question, everyone stopped talking and looked at Yang Fang. Indeed, compared to others, they are more like how this technology is achieved, which is unprecedented.
Yang Fang said with a smile: "In fact, this is our staged research result in fast-growing technology, haven't we been studying fast-growing plant genetic technology.
Through the gene comparison of different plants, we found that most of their genes are the same, and among these genes, we found the genes that also control the growth of plants. These gene sequences directly control how these plants grow and how they grow. , grow into what it looks like.
And from these growth genes, we directly screened out the genes that control the growth rate, and then began to continuously try to manually intervene and edit this gene sequence to change the growth rate of plants.
The gourd, cucumber, and this pumpkin that you see in front are actually all improved and cultivated based on this technology. It's just that the techniques previously applied to gourds and cucumbers are relatively stable.
The technique applied to pumpkins is difficult to control because the growth rate is too fast.
We need to modify the rest of the plant's genome sequence based on such a fast growth rate, so that they can adapt to such a fast growth rate, so that the pumpkins that grow out will not be so ugly. "
I feel that this technique is useless, the growth rate just now is enough, this growth rate is too fast, it is completely unnecessary. Zhang Jun shook his head again and again. Obviously, this product was stimulated by the fast-growing pumpkin vine just now, and has some prejudice against this technology.
At present, we are only in the experimental stage, and may not necessarily be used in real. And in some cases, this technique still has its uses. Yang Fang said with a smile.
for example? Zhang Jun asked.
Like Plant Wars! Wu Hao spoke for Yang Fang.
Plant warfare?
What the hell, do you think it's really Plants vs Zombies? Zhang Jun was angry.
Why not, if our technology has a breakthrough, it might be possible to cultivate some plant varieties in Plants vs. Zombies. Wu Hao said with a smile.
He was also witnessing the skyrocketing process of this pumpkin vine, and suddenly had this idea.
"You are a little obsessed, can any technology be used in the military?" You are this kind of technology, how can you use it in military warfare. Zhang Jun was obviously not convinced by Wu Hao's statement, and immediately asked him.
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, everyone turned to look at him. Obviously, there are some doubts about Wu Hao's statement. This technology is amazing, but how can a plant vine be used in the field of military warfare.
Facing the suspicious and curious eyes of everyone, Wu Hao had to smile and nodded: "Okay, then I will tell you some ideas about the application of this technology in the field of military warfare.
First of all, the first one I can think of is battlefield camouflage. "
Battlefield camouflage?
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and many people also reacted, and then nodded.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "Yes, battlefield camouflage, we all know that in order to prevent our military weapons and equipment from being discovered by enemy satellites, aircraft, personnel and other detection methods, we need to monitor these weapons and equipment at this time. Military installations carry some camouflage to avoid detection.
From this point of view, the camouflage uniforms worn by soldiers, the auspicious suits worn by snipers, and the paint on the chariots are all used for camouflage.
What we call camouflage in the narrow sense is to carry out additional camouflage for these weapons and military facilities, such as covering camouflage nets, or artificially covering some branches or something for camouflage.
Either way, their camouflage speed is slower, and the effect is not necessarily good.
If we can apply this rapid growth technology to the camouflage of weapons and military facilities on the battlefield~EbookFREE.me~ Then just sprinkle some seeds, these seeds will quickly sprout and grow, and these weapons Equipment and military installations are very well camouflaged.
And these camouflages are alive, can naturally block heat and reduce infrared characteristics, so even if the enemy has more advanced detection technology, it may be difficult to find.
For example, we want to set up a defensive position somewhere. These newly dug trenches are easy to be discovered by enemy reconnaissance because of borrowing soil and destroying vegetation. But if we use this rapid growth technology, then we can quickly camouflage and cover these newly picked up trenches and fortifications, so that there is no difference in the surrounding vegetation, then the enemy will It's hard to spot, beneath these bushy plants, our army of thousands is hiding.
Similarly, this fast-growing plant is also suitable for camouflaging and concealing some large armored targets, such as armored vehicles and tanks on standby. Air defense missile positions, or some important units such as command centers, communication centers, and logistics supply centers, greatly improve their battlefield survivability. "
