Chapter 274: Dangerous grass

Li Hao glanced at the device, he shook his head and walked out of the room.
The gentleman is not standing under a dangerous wall. He was just curious, and the scientists who checked the biological laboratory wanted to enter the virus laboratory.
It was found that each time they entered, it took tens of hours of preparation, and not only the surface of the body had to be coated with a highly effective anti-virus nano-medicine. You also need to take antiviral drugs.
It is clear that there is only a less dangerous tobacco mosaic virus in the virus laboratory, which does not affect humans. I don't know what danger they are preventing. Maybe it is a habit.
And this kind of equipment needs to pass detailed tests before use, without testing the equipment, it will never let people enter the virus laboratory.
He knew that Du Xianyu had asked him to look at the device, not to allow him to enter the virus laboratory.
You still have to pay attention to safety, and look at the virus laboratory through the virtual light curtain in the office at leisure. This way is more secure.
They returned to the office again, and Du Xianyu turned on the virtual light curtain. Tell Li Hao the situation in the virus laboratory.
The virtual light curtain plays out a laboratory with a lot of people and many small animals.
Li Hao saw this scene and said in surprise: "You are not saying that the virus laboratory is very dangerous. I just checked and learned that you mainly rely on robots to conduct experiments. Every time someone enters the virus laboratory, All require complex preparations. "
Du Xianyu said with a smile, "The results of our genetic programming technology are not just viruses and bacteria. There are also genetically processed animals. These animals are not dangerous at all."
He pointed out a small white rabbit and introduced Li Hao: "General Manager Li, this is a white rabbit with phenylketonuria that we have produced through genetic programming technology."
Du Xianyu then pointed out a lot of small animals, and quickly spoke: "Mice with hemophilia, pigs with diabetes, monkeys with hypertension."
Li Hao saw four kinds of animals, mainly rat rabbit pig monkey. But they all suffer from common human diseases.
He knows what this means? Through this animal with a specific disease. Observing their physiological processes may reveal the cause of the disease or find medicines to treat it.
Li Hao gave a thumbs up and praised: "This idea is very good, not only can find good material for our company's next research and development work.
It is this special disease animal, and its value is also very high. Major pharmaceutical companies and biological research institutes at home and abroad will rush to buy such animals with defective genes. "
Du Xianyu also said with a smile: "This is the correct research and development direction of our biological laboratory. We cannot always develop a devastating virus like the big villain in film and television dramas.
Laboratory experiments with viruses serve two main purposes.
The first goal was to find the weakness of the virus by knocking out certain genes. Gene-targeted drugs can quickly kill the virus and achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
The second goal is to find base pairs that support basic functions of life by changing the genes of the virus.
Viruses have the fewest genetic fragments, and their lives are simple. This makes it easier to explore the base pairs that make up life. "
Li Hao nodded in agreement, which was similar to what he thought. Biotechnology has developed to a certain extent. Be sure to explore the genes that control various physiological functions.
The light curtain in front of it changed again, this time to a dark laboratory.
Du Xianyu looked at the light curtain and introduced: "This is the tobacco mosaic virus that we process through genetic programming technology, and we are now studying the basic properties of the tobacco mosaic virus.
This is the HIV virus, this is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This is the flu virus. "
Li Hao listened to Du Xianyu's words, his face immediately gloomed, and sweat was flowing from the horns.
Seeing Du Xianyu speak out one by one with highly infectious deadly bacteria.
He solemnly said, "Director Du, you weren't just saying that the genetic programming technology is only applied to tobacco mosaic virus. How can these lethal strains be placed in the laboratory?"
Du Xianyu immediately explained: "General Manager Li, I did not explain it just now. We only process the genes of tobacco mosaic virus through programming.
But these deadly bacteria are the microorganisms that we need to solve in the development of this technology.
It's just that they are still in the original plant support stage and have not been processed by genetic programming technology.
That's why our virus labs are so defensive. We bought these viruses at high prices from the Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are highly pathogenic if released. "
He saw that Li Hao's face eased, and continued, "Fortunately, in the process of studying the magnetic field detector of life, we found a magnetic field with high efficiency for sterilization.
The existence of such equipment will never allow a virus or bacteria to run out of the laboratory. Absolute guarantee of safety. After all, if these virus bacteria run out, our biological laboratory will be the first to suffer. "
"I still say that, safety is the most important thing. You deal with it yourself, I don't interfere."
Li Hao's expression calmed down. He knew that Du Xianyu, although sometimes crazy, still belonged to a rational scientist. The safety of doing experiments can still be guaranteed.
He suddenly saw a flash of light on the light curtain, as if seeing a purple-red grass.
Li Hao immediately paused the light curtain backwards, and she saw a purple-red grass on the screen. The grass was very weak, with only two leaves folded together.
Li Hao pointed at the little grass and asked in confusion: "Director Du, what kind of grass is this? Why is it still placed in the innermost layer of the virus laboratory, what is it so strictly protected?"
Du Xianyu's face was not very good, and he said intermittently: "This is a kind of experiment that failed to develop. It's just too dangerous, but it has high research value. We can't bear to destroy it, we can only put it here. save."
Seeing Du Xianyu's performance, Li Hao's curiosity was stimulated. He quickly asked Du Xianyu: "Can you tell me about the properties of this little grass."
When Du Xianyu saw Li Hao, he was curious, so he said the reason for the grass.
"This is our genetic programming project. I thought that the genetic material of the HIV virus is ribonucleotides ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and other organisms have been discovered. Their genetic material is deoxyribonucleotides.
I thought of using ribonucleotides as genetic material to create a new life.
Through the scientific research assistance system and my many experiments, the only success is this small grass, which is an organism assembled from ribonucleotide fragments cut from various cells. "
Du Xianyu looked at the grass and sighed, "Except that the mutation rate of the gene itself is many times higher than that of normal plants. It can survive in harsh environments, and other properties are no different from ordinary plants.
But because this grass has added a ribonucleotide fragment that is unique to cancer cells. Its cells secrete a special group of hormones, which have a very powerful function to promote animal metabolism.
I injected the cell fluid of 10,000 such grasses into a pig that had just full moon. Its cell division speeds up a hundredfold.
In just a few minutes, the pig was stretched and died in a few minutes.
If it is placed in nature, it will cause a terrible sight.
Take a simple example. In prehistoric civilization, the oxygen concentration in the air was much higher than it is now, and the animal's metabolic rate was very fast.
That's why dinosaurs are huge, dragonflies with a length of more than one meter, and crawling insects with a length of 13 meters.
This little grass plays a similar role. Once spread, it will cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment. "
