Chen Shuiwa quietly looked at the contents of the glass!
The space inside the glass is as large as a basketball court, and the environment inside is completely simulated the ecological environment of the Loess Plateau, and even the soil is directly transported from the Loess Plateau. 【Literature Building】
Seen from above, there are so many ditches that it looks like a reduced version of its hometown.
Shuiwa's eyes are a bit red and swollen, and her face is tired. Anyone who stays up all night and works overtime for several months can work hard for nearly 20 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Fortunately, he can only resist if he has cultivated Yuanli. Even if he is tired again, as long as he cultivates for a few hours, the whole person can be fierce.
The months of hard work have not been in vain. Shuiwa has no idea about living things from the beginning. In just a few months, he has been one of the most powerful researchers in the entire Biological Research Institute.
On the one hand, Shuiwa herself took out the unique temperament of the children on the Loess Plateau, and insisted on not reaching the goal. For several months, she worked harder than people every day, either studying or researching.
On the other hand, it is also due to the special cultivation method taught by Liu Qingquan. The cultivation method for researchers has a magical effect on the development of the brain. Remember that it is just the simplest effect.
Otherwise, how can these researchers of Qingquan Technology compare with those of decades of researchers in just a few months? All rely on the benefits brought by the practice of Yuanli. Good health and brains are even better.
Shuiwa knows that if you want to put on green clothes on the Loess Plateau, you must find that it can grow quickly, the roots must be deep and lush, and the requirements for water must not be too high. It grows and locks rainwater and soil on the Loess Plateau.
In order to find such plants, Shuiwa applied to Liu Qingquan for a team of 100 people, who drove flying cars around the world to find various plants for comprehensive comparison.
Thanks to the convenience of flying cars, any desired plants can be quickly transported to Qingquan Science and Technology's Biological Research Institute and into the hands of these researchers.
Camel grass, Populus euphratica, cactus, sand holly, great rhino horn, sand cane date, white thorn, sea buckthorn, sand jujube, date palm, desert rose, desert chrysanthemum, baobab tree, etc. plant.
These plants are characterized by very good drought resistance, developed root systems, very strong water absorption and storage capacity, and many of them have very good economic value.
Of course, there are various fast-growing plants from tropical and subtropical regions, such as water hyacinth, various bamboos, Tribulus terrestris, clematis, coconut trees, succulents, etc. These plants are characterized by a comparative demand for water and heat High, but the production speed is very fast.
Of course, the water baby is obviously not simply trying to put a green new dress on the Loess Plateau. For the poverty of his hometown, he also kept in mind that when looking for various plants, he did not forget to look for economic value. No, it does not produce much economic value.
Shuiwa is looking for plants that can produce greater economic value, such as rubber trees. The price of natural rubber has always been high in the world, and the economic value is very large. There are also tung trees, oil palm, oil melon, and diesel. Trees, olive oil, energy grass, jatropha and other new bioenergy plants.
Of course, each plant has its own unique geographical environment for growth. You cannot plant tropical plants directly into the cold zone, nor can you plant a large number of plants that need to absorb water into arid desert areas.
The reason why Shuiwa collects a large number of plants is to obtain genetic data of these plants, build a huge gene bank, and then use genetic engineering technology, that is, genetically modified technology, to obtain a plant of its own desire.
Genetic engineering, also known as gene splicing technology and DNA recombination technology, is based on molecular genetics and modern methods of molecular biology and microbiology as means to construct hybrid DNAs in vitro from genes from different sources according to a pre-designed blueprint. The molecule is then introduced into living cells to change the original genetic characteristics of the organism, obtain new varieties, and produce new products. Genetic engineering technology provides a powerful means for studying the structure and function of genes.
Maybe many people will panic when they hear about genetically modified technology. It sounds like God created it. Finding a random combination of genes can create a new species. Maybe another intelligent species is created, and humans are Instead, the panic inside can be imagined.
In addition, in recent years, the safety of genetically modified food has been variously reported by the society and the media. Many times it has no scientific basis, and food security is a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood. In addition, it involves genetic genes. In many cases, it takes a long time to observe whether it is really harmful, so the people generally talk about tiger color changes.
But in fact, transgenic technology is not so magical, and gene recombination is not arbitrary. If a variety of completely unrelated species of genes are forcibly combined, the result must be a genetic breakdown without any effect and result. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in higher organisms. I haven't seen that cloned animals can't live long! Not to mention genetically modified organisms.
As for genetically modified food, this is a very serious topic! (The author himself said that he was not assured that he never dared to eat genetically modified corn, small tomatoes, etc.)
As the world's number one food exporter, the United States basically uses GM technology in every crop, such as corn, soybeans, peanuts, and so on. Using GM technology can not only cultivate high-quality, high-yield, disease- and pest-resistant crops, the United States only depends on food exports This weapon has killed many countries.
For example, our country imports a large amount of soybeans and corn to the United States every year. Even if the price of imported food is shipped to consumers, it is cheaper than your local production. This aspect is due to their advanced genetically modified technology. On the other hand, the United States provides high subsidies to its agricultural exports.
Of course, the Americans here are not good intentions. The low price has impacted your local food production enterprises. There is no market for the original native crops. When everyone is habitually relying on their food, their tongues will get stuck. Deadly, it's the meat on someone's cutting board.
For example, the soybean in the northeast was once the main production place of soybean oil in the world. Depending on this one, it can bring considerable foreign exchange to the world every year, and it can also bring good economic income to farmers. But later the United States Relying on genetically modified soybeans, entering the international and domestic markets at low prices, the Northeast soybeans were instantly destroyed, so that nowadays, the soybeans needed by the Chinese people are basically imported, because there is no market for the soybeans you produce, and how much you lose.
...
The most prominent advantage of transgenic technology is that it breaks the boundaries of the species that are difficult to break through conventional breeding. It can recombine genetic information between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, between animals and plants, and even between humans and other organisms. Transfer. Human genes can be transferred to E. coli for expression, and bacterial genes can be transferred to plants for expression.
It is with this in mind that Shuiwa wants to achieve her goal through transgenic technology, and only by transgenic technology can it be possible to study the ideal plants of Shuiwa.
Of course, there are countless countries and companies studying desert management in the world. The research of genetically modified technology is the main topic in the biological field now, but now it is mainly focused on food and medical treatment. The research on the use of genetically modified technology to desert management is still relatively More upset.
Moreover, the research on transgenic technology is not as easy as imagined. Let alone talk about the major obstacles of gene collapse, allogeneic rejection, and DNA disorder in the fields of gene transfer and recombination, even if you successfully reorganize a plant or animal These new animals and plants also need to go through a long period of growth, observation, and experiment. By the way, they are calculated in terms of years. Otherwise, you don't know what you have made, and what their characteristics and functions are.
Water dolls eager to change their hometown naturally cannot be studied in accordance with the old-fashioned methods and ideas, and they may not be able to successfully develop their ideal plants in their lifetime.
After all-powerful Liu Qingquan was tangled by Shuiwa's death, he had no choice but to take out two things from his own treasure chest-seed space, a primary gene decoder and a genetic recombination evolution instrument.
The primary gene decoder is an instrument specially developed for biological research in the early stage of the development of Alpha civilization. It can genetically decode plant lower organisms, explain the information carried by each DNA in the plant, and greatly reduce the time of biological research.
When other people are still slowly studying the genes one by one, to explore the characteristics and functions of this gene, the gene decoder only needs a few minutes to fully explain all the genes of this plant, what this gene is used for Come to breed, that gene is used to resist drought, cold and so on, clear!
The genetic recombination and evolution instrument is even more powerful. Researchers import their recombined genes into the evolution instrument, and the evolution instrument can completely evolve the future situation of this gene. Can it be resistant to cold and drought, and can it reproduce the next generation? , What kind of environment is needed for growth and so on.
There is no need for you to wait slowly for this plant to grow, and then test it one by one, which takes a lot of time and energy of the scientist.
Of course, this gene decoder and genetic recombination evolution instrument actually rely on huge gene and biological databases to achieve their amazing functions. The key is the biological database!
The reason why the nations on the planet should make concerted efforts to build a human genome project is to obtain huge genetic data and build a gene database to lay the foundation for future research. (To be continued.) Mobile users please visit m.wenxue6.com for a better reading experience.
