Chapter 637: Farming in the ocean

Lu Li sat in front of the test bench.
On the left side of the test bench, there is a small box containing the sporophytes of macroalgae.
Although mature macroalgae are at least tens of meters long, most of them are more than 100 meters long. However, the spores of macroalgae are very small, about the size of a needle tip.
This is also normal, and human egg cells are only this large.
Lu Li took out a thin tube suction needle from the toolbox on the test bench and sucked out some sporophytes from the spore box.
When taking out the spore body, Lu Li's right hand shook quite a bit, and several spores fell on Lu Li's left hand.
Touching the fingertips lightly, pinching these spores, Lu Li's consciousness moved with it, and the touch of his fingertips penetrated into the spores.
In order to maintain the glorious image of "the teacher is omnipotent," this experiment must be successful. All... It's understandable to cheat with the extraordinary power of the realm of heaven and human, right?
One mind and two purposes.
Lu Li used his soul consciousness to infiltrate the spores, while moving the thin tube to aspirate the needle, placing the spores on the electron microscope slide on the test bench.
"Before doing gene editing, we must first clearly understand the genetic information of macroalgae."
While talking, Lu Li reached out and opened the electron microscope. The screen lights up, showing the internal structure of the spore.
In fact, a part of Lu Li's spirit consciousness had penetrated into the kelp spore pinched in his hand, and he observed closely and felt everything inside the spore.
With Lu Li's knowledge level, coupled with his personal experience deep inside the spore, he quickly understood the internal structure, composition and operation mechanism of the spore.
Lu Li pointed his finger at the image of the spore structure displayed on the electronic microscope screen, explaining the internal structure of the spore, the composition and function of each part to the students.
"This is the mitochondria inside the spore cell. They are the generator of the cell, and the operating mechanism is like this..."
"This is the chain-like protein inside the spore cell. They are connected to each other to form a highway inside the cell."
"This is the motor protein inside the spore cell. They are molecular-level transporters, or drivers inside the cell, that shuttle back and forth on the chain protein highway to transport energy to the cell."
Following his own consciousness, Lu Li went deep into the spore cells and observed the situation. On the screen of the electron microscope, he explained to the students the internal structure and operating mechanism of kelp spores.
"The teacher deserves to be a teacher, that's amazing!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Even the structure and function of kelp spores are so deeply understood, so amazing!"
The students around were full of admiration and admiration on their faces.
No wonder they were amazed.
There are countless species in the world, and even the top biologists and genetic scientists cannot have a clear understanding of the cell structure of every organism.
The teacher's knowledge is vast and vast.
Lu Li smiled and thought to himself: I'm learning now and selling now, using extraordinary power to cheat to find out.
During the explanation process, Lu Li's soul consciousness had penetrated into the nucleus of the spore cell, and he saw the DNA sequence of the macroalga with his own eyes.
Consciousness fell on the DNA molecule chain of the kelp, and Lu Li began to interpret the genetic information of the kelp.
With Lu Li's current knowledge, after seeing the DNA molecular chain of macroalgae with his own eyes, and personally experiencing the information expressed in it, it is not difficult to interpret the genetic information of macroalgae.
After interpreting the genetic information of the giant algae, Lu Li's soul consciousness had completely remembered the genetic information.
Today's Lu Li, his mental consciousness has been integrated with his body, and has been thoroughly integrated into every cell in his body.
After the genetic information of the kelp was remembered by Divine Soul Consciousness, Lu Li suddenly felt like...I can replicate this genetic information in his own cells.
What does it mean? This means... Lu Li can become a seaweed!
So... what does it mean to change?
This is a kind of "True Transfiguration". It is not just a "transfiguration" that just imitates the appearance, but is copied from the genetic level, and essentially becomes another biological form.
This is interesting!
Lu Li smiled, the Soul Consciousness escaped from the spore cell in his hand, without the thought of turning into seaweed.
Comprehending the "True Transfiguration Technique", Lu Li gained a lot.
The druids in the Western Fantasy are proficient in polymorphism and can become various creatures. Some birds, animals, and fish can even become a tree.
Now, my "True Transfiguration" can fully achieve the level of Druid Transfiguration.
Of course, this is not the time to think about this.
Lu Li smiled and focused on the experiment before him.
After his consciousness went deep into the spores and fully interpreted the genetic information of the macroalgae, Lu Li was already ready to edit and improve the macroalgae.
Turning his head to look at Wen Wan next to him, Lu Li asked, "Wen Wan, you originally planned to add that kind of foreign gene to the kelp gene?"
"I have tried many kinds."
Sister Wen Wan replied: "I have tried all of rice, corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even some fruits. But...none time."
"Then have you tried the cactus gene?" Lu Li smiled at the Wen Wan sister.
"cactus?"
Sister Wen Wan was surprised, "Teacher, you mean...Use the nutrient storage mechanism of cactus to modify the genes of macroalgae so that it stores nutrients on the leaves?"
"Correct!"
Lu Li nodded, "The marine environment is different from the terrestrial environment. It is more difficult to blossom and bear fruit, and there are no bees and butterflies that pollinate flowers!"
"Ha ha!"
Sister Wen Wan touched her head, "I have forgotten this!"
"Actually, genetic modification from the seed direction is not impossible."
Lu Lichao said to sister Wen Wan: "Think of the spore leaf as a flower and use sea water to spread pollen. However, this way, gene editing is more difficult, and there are more genes to be modified."
"and so……"
The sister Wen Wan was helpless, "I thought about two ideas, but chose the most difficult one?"
"Go up to the difficulties! Good spirit!" Lu left a joke.
"Haha! Face up to the difficulties, there can be!"
The students nearby laughed together.
"What are you laughing laughing?"
Sister Wen Wan glared at everyone, "The teacher said that it is difficult to meet the difficulties, so don't think about it!"
Now... even Lu Li laughed.
"Okay! Stop it!"
Lu Li waved his hand, "Go and get a cactus. Succulents will do. Get the gene quickly! Everyone does it once, go!"
"Ok!"
Everyone hurriedly got up, collected materials and prepared to do experiments.
Things like cacti are naturally not rare. You don’t even need cacti, all succulents can be used.
There are samples of cacti in the biological laboratory. There are also succulents raised by Wen Wan sister in the office, all of which can be used for experiments.
A crowd of doctoral students swarmed in, and a pot of succulent plants on the table of the Wen Wan sister had plucked the leaves in an instant, leaving only a bare pole.
"I'm furious!"
Sister Wen Wan chopped and stomped her feet, then...cut off all the succulent poles.
The gene extraction experiment is very simple, and it can be done by middle schools with better conditions, not to mention these doctoral students with special equipment.
After a while, everyone came to Lu Li with test tubes containing the genes of succulents.
"Teacher, we are done!" Everyone reported to Lu Li.
"Ok!"
Lu Li took a test tube from Sister Wen Wan, took a little gene with a thin tube and put it on the test bench.
"I will demonstrate once, and then you will do it again later."
Lu Li turned on the electron microscope, and the genes of succulent plants were displayed on the screen.
"First, we need to analyze and interpret the genes of succulents to determine which gene expression is the nutrient storage mechanism."
Lu Li pointed to the display screen, explained to everyone, and selected the nutrient storage genes of succulents.
Pick up the gene probe and inject the gene target protein and gene transcription protein. From the succulent plant gene, a piece of gene information representing the nutrient storage mechanism is transcribed through transcriptase.
Next, Lu Li combined the transcription protein that transcribed the genetic information with the gene shearing protein, and then injected it into the genes of the macroalgal spore cells.
Lu Li had already interpreted the genetic information of macroalgae, and he knew the nutrient storage mechanism of macroalgae, and quickly found the location of the target gene fragment.
Inject the gene target, lock the gene position, and the splicing protein combined with the transcription protein will quickly move to the position of the target gene fragment.
The shearing protein cuts the gene chain, loads the transcribed gene fragments in the transcription protein onto the incision, and quickly combines with the gene chain of the macroalgae itself to reconstitute a new gene sequence.
The splicing protein and transcription protein are then broken down and become nutrients for the spore cells.
"The experiment has been completed by this step."
Lu Li smiled at everyone, "Next, we have to wait until the gene-edited macroalgae is cultivated before we can confirm the results of the experiment!"
"The teacher is amazing!"
"Yes! The operation is too precise!"
There was a round of applause around.
"Okay, stop sucking up!"
Lu Li waved his hands to everyone, "Follow the method I just did, you do it again by yourself."
"Ok!"
Everyone walked onto the test bed and re-experimented according to Lu Li's demonstration teaching.
Lu Li walked around in the laboratory, watching everyone carefully experiment.
Compared with Lu Li's precise and quick operation, these students who did not have extraordinary perception ability to cheat stumbled in operation, and they succeeded in gene editing once or twice in ten times.
This is the reason why Lu Li has developed a new gene targeting technology and gene editing technology.
If you use the previous gene editing technology, you can succeed once out of a hundred times.
"That's it! You take your time to experiment!"
Lu Li greeted everyone, turned and walked out of the laboratory.
According to Lu Li's judgment, this gene editing experiment on macroalgae was definitely a success.
It's just that, to verify the experimental results, you have to wait for genetically modified seaweed to be cultivated.
The genetic improvement of macroalgae is certainly not perfect once.
The main problem is... the macroalgae after gene editing is to be eaten as food.
There is a question of whether it tastes good or not!
Macroalgae are rich in nutrients, rich in potassium, iodine, amino acids and trace elements, which can reduce the incidence of colds, and can also play a good role in improving the physical strength and anti-fatigue of the elderly.
The nutrient storage mechanism is changed, and the macroalgae that grow thick leaves will also deposit a lot of starch, protein and seaweed gum in the leaves.
This thing can definitely be eaten as food.
As for whether it tastes good or not, this... Lu Li is really not sure.
I walked out of the laboratory and came to the parking lot outside the door. Assistant Tian opened the car door and greeted him.
"Professor Lu, you stayed in the genetic laboratory for four hours today."
Assistant Tian opened the door for Lu Li, greeted Lu Li and boarded the car, saying, "Are you planning to study new technologies in genetics?"
I have been Lu Li's assistant for a long time, and I have been very familiar with Lu Li. Assistant Tian hasn't looked so sternly at all. He has a serious military style and speaks more casually.
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded, "I just finished the experiment with the students, I am going to farm in the ocean!"
"Uh... farming in the sea?"
Assistant Tian froze for a moment. When will the sea be able to farm?
Well, you are the most powerful scientist in the world, and you say that you can farm on the moon!
"Is it weird to farm in the ocean?"
Lu Li smiled, "There are plants in the ocean too!"
"This one……"
Assistant Tian started the car and drove out of the parking lot. While driving, he said, "What kind of wheat can be grown in the ocean?"
"Haimai!" Lu Li laughed.
"You...really researched wheat that can be planted in the ocean?"
Assistant Tian's eyes widened, "Oh my god! How tall is the wheat to grow from the bottom of the sea!"
"The minimum is 80 meters, usually one or two hundred meters, and the longest is more than 500 meters!" Lu Li answered seriously.
"Five hundred meters high wheat?"
Assistant Tian couldn't help exclaiming.
"Well, no kidding!"
Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "It's not wheat, it's a kind of seaweed. This kind of macroalgae can grow up to 500 meters long. I modified it with genetic technology to make it produce grain."
"Let the seaweed grow food?"
Assistant Tian was stunned for a long time before suffocating a sentence, "Awesome!"
You can make seaweed produce food~EbookFREE.me~ Will the rooster lay eggs next time?
In the future... will men have children?
Assistant Tian shivered all over. You scientists, it's terrible!
If Lu Li knew what Assistant Tian was thinking, would he definitely tell him, would it be difficult for a rooster to lay eggs?
Lu Li leaned on the seat, but he was thinking: Seaweed makes food, it is really meaningful!
Our country uses 7% of the world’s arable land to feed a quarter of the world’s population!
Food...for us, it has never been too much!
Why can we eat all kinds of animals into protected animals? Because we have been hungry in history!
Once the macroalgae improvement experiment is successful, it will be of great significance to our country's food strategic security!
