Chapter 204 The idea of ​​bioengineering ([-])

Zhang Wenkai, who returned to the laboratory, didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so he hurriedly took out the turfgrass samples in the box. After some treatments, he put them under the electron microscope for observation and compared them with ordinary turfgrass. right.

But he found that there is basically no difference between the lawn grass that has been used with the plant nutrient solution and the lawn grass that has not been used. It can be said that the two are still the same.

This made Zhang Wenkai puzzled. Obviously there is a big gap in the appearance of plants, so why is there no fundamental change in their internal structure?
He fixed his eyes on the two plants in front of him. They looked like two plants on the outside, but why they were still the same? Zhang Wenkai was very troubled now, not because of the results, but because of the knowledge he had mastered. Scarce and tangled.

"I would have studied bioengineering if I knew it earlier." Obviously his complaints had no effect.

So Zhang Wenkai carefully observed the two samples under the electron microscope again, hoping to find out the difference between the two and know where the problem lies.

But looking around, he still didn't find any difference, Zhang Wenkai grabbed his hair, very annoyed.

"Sir, I feel that there is something wrong with your direction." In Xiaona's projection, she was wearing a pink dress, floating in front of Zhang Wenkai, and said.

"Is there a problem with the direction?" Zhang Wenkai, who was observing the microscope, raised his head and frowned. Xiaona's unfounded words made him very puzzled.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your purpose of planting these lawns?" Sitting on the electron microscope, Xiaona began to guide Zhang Wenkai patiently.

"Of course it is used for desert greening." Zhang Wenkai told the truth, which is also what he thought.

When Xiaona heard Zhang Wenkai's words, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "That's easy." Her expression was full of confidence.

"Greening means doing green work, but Mr. is not doing green work." Xiaona directly pointed out the fundamental problem and denied Zhang Wenkai's behavior.

"Is it something other than work?" Zhang Wenkai muttered to himself somewhat naturally.

"Greening is originally a matter of municipal engineering, but what Mr. Do is doing bioengineering." Xiaona pointed out the key to the problem.

Zhang Wenkai was startled, and then his eyes lit up.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that." On his face with a wry smile, one could see how upset he was. Obviously, he made a mistake in complicated handling of simple things. To put it bluntly, he was shooting mosquitoes with cannonballs.

In fact, it cannot be called a 'mosquito' at least, Zhang Wenkai still has some ideas of his own, he hopes to turn this 'mosquito' into a super mosquito.

"Xiaona, I want to complete the transformation of the desert as quickly as possible. Is there any good method in bioengineering." I can't continue to study like this on my own. I still can't do it alone, and there are certain limitations.

Cortana has so many advanced technologies that need to be fully utilized.

Thinking of this, all his previous annoyance and confusion disappeared, he got up and went to the water dispenser to pour himself a glass of warm water, sat on the chair, and drank slowly.

"The topical medicines on the plants are only auxiliary, and the real starting point is on the plants themselves." Xiaona floated to the box containing the samples, pointing to the plants in the box and said.

"Plants?" Zhang Wenkai waited with interest for Xiaona's next words.

He has also realized how immature his thoughts were before. It seems that it is difficult to achieve things just on a whim, and a rigorous and careful plan is needed.

If he followed his previous thinking, he would have entered a dead end.

The desert is dry and lacks water. I also want to increase the nutrients of the plants to promote the rapid growth of the plants. Such a thing is completely against the laws of nature in the desert. Without water and light and growth substances, plants still cannot survive. How can this be? possible?

Zhang Wenkai shook himself secretly, laughing at himself.

"Mister, do you know about tardigrades?" Xiaona told Zhang Wenkai about a creature on Earth.

What?Water bears?I know about caterpillars, Zhang Wenkai's eyes darkened, obviously he didn't know.

After Xiaona asked this sentence, even she regretted it a little. She realized that even if she asked, it was useless. With Zhang Wenkai's IQ, Xiaona could only laugh, and looked at Zhang Wenkai instantly with a hint of disdain. Not thick, then Xiaona's expression became serious, and she only heard her say:

"It's called a DNA thief. 18.00% of the genome of this tardigrade is composed of DNA stolen from other creatures in the animal kingdom. His genetic material is a mix and match, not all inherited by his ancestors."

Zhang Wenkai likes Xiaona's serious way of talking about things. Lolita's body, but the expression on her face is serious. There is a visual contrast, which stimulates Wenkai's otaku heart that is about to pass away.

But after listening to Xiaona's words, Zhang Wenkai frowned, and called up the detailed information of the tardigrade through the holographic image.

Fortunately, he had already learned some bioengineering knowledge by himself before, and he knew enough about some animals and plants in detail, but even so, when he saw the tardigrade for the first time, he still felt a shudder in his body, and felt It looks like there are ants crawling on it.

Even when his body suddenly itched, he thought it was some kind of bug.

"The world of living things is just a little scary."

After reading the detailed information, Zhang Wenkai nodded. Indeed, as Xiaona said, the foreign genes of tardigrades were all transferred from plants, bacteria, fungi and archaea.

Even foreign genes can actually replace some of the tardigrade's own genes, which is very abnormal, the appearance has not changed, but the internal genes have been completely changed.

The more he understood, the more Zhang Wenkai felt shuddering. If this kind of creature was as big as an elephant, what kind of result would it have? Would it eat people?Then misappropriate human genes.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, if he thought about it again, he could basically write a novel.

And this material also pointed out that humans also have foreign genes, and [-]% of the foreign genes in humans are obtained through viruses.

The genes of these viruses are hidden in human genes, and there are already 19 unknown DNA fragments in human genes, which may be ancient viruses or DNA left over from ancestors.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenkai trembled all over his body. This is like computer code. Normally, useless code will not be programmed into it, because such useless code will bring huge expenses and maintenance troubles, so It is necessary to regularly clean up useless code.

And human genes are like codes, so useless genes are like useless codes. Here comes the problem, if someone cleans up useless codes, who will clean up the useless genes in humans.

And what harm these useless genes do to the human body, no one knows.

At the same time, Zhang Wenkai thought of another problem. The information that can be released on the Internet must be the simplest information, and it is impossible to be too detailed. Moreover, genetic engineering is like confidential documents to some extent, which must be kept secret.

Thinking of this, he, who is not a bioengineering major, shuddered all over his body.

He felt as if he had unraveled some kind of mystery.
