Chen Shuiwa quietly looked at what was inside the glass!

The space inside the glass is as big as a basketball court. The environment inside is a complete simulation of the ecological environment of the Loess Plateau, and even the soil is directly transported from the Loess Plateau.

Seen from above, it looks like a miniature version of the hometown.

Shuiwa's eyes are a little red and swollen, and her face is tired. Anyone who stays up late to work overtime every day for several months, and works nearly 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, will not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, he has cultivated Yuan Li before he can resist. No matter how tired he is, as long as he cultivates for a few hours, his whole body can be vigorous again.

The hard work for several months has not been in vain. Shuiwa has a little understanding of biology from the beginning. In just a few months, he has become one of the most powerful researchers in the entire biological institute.

On the one hand, Shuiwa has shown the stubborn temper that is unique to children on the Loess Plateau, and will not give up until she achieves her goal. For several months, she has to work twice as hard every day, either studying or researching.

On the other hand, it is also due to the special cultivation method taught by Liu Qingquan. The method for researchers to cultivate has a magical effect on the development of the brain. Remembering it is the simplest effect.

Otherwise, how can these researchers at Qingquan Technology be comparable to those who have been working for decades in just a few months, all relying on the benefits brought by the cultivation of Yuan Li, the body is good, and the brain is even better.

Shuiwa knows that if you want to re-dress the Loess Plateau with green clothes, you must find something that can grow quickly, the roots must be deep and lush, and the water requirements should not be too high, so as to be able to quickly grow in such an environment as the Loess Plateau. It grows and forms, and locks the rainwater and soil of the Loess Plateau.

In order to find such plants, Shuiwa fully applied to Liu Qingquan for a team of 100 people, who drove flying cars to search for various plants all over the world and made comprehensive comparisons.

Thanks to the convenience of flying cars, any desired plants can be quickly transported to Qingquan Technology's Biological Research Institute and delivered to the hands of these researchers.

Like camel grass, Populus euphratica, cactus, sand holly, rhino horn, sand horn, white thorn, sea buckthorn, sand jujube, date palm, desert rose, desert chrysanthemum, baobab, etc. from desert areas, from arid regions around the world plant.

These plants are characterized by very good drought resistance, developed root systems, very strong water absorption and water storage capabilities, and many of them have very good economic value.

Of course there are all kinds of fast-growing plants from tropical and subtropical regions,

For example, water hyacinth, various bamboos, tribulus terrestris, wire grass, coconut trees, succulents, etc. These plants are characterized by high water and heat requirements, but the production speed is very fast.

Of course, Shuiwa did not simply want to put on a new green dress on the Loess Plateau. He also kept in mind the poverty of his hometown. When looking for various plants, he did not forget to look for those with economic value. Various jujube plants also No, it will not produce much economic value.

Shuiwa looks at plants that can generate greater economic value, such as rubber trees. The price of natural rubber in the world has always been high, and its economic value is very large. There are also tung tree, oil palm, oil melon, diesel oil. Trees, olive oil, energy grass, jatropha and other new bioenergy plants.

Of course, each plant has its own unique growth geographical environment. You can't plant tropical plants directly in the cold zone, nor can you plant a large number of plants that need to absorb water in arid desert areas.

The reason why Shuiwa collects a large number of plants is to obtain the genetic data of these plants, build a huge gene bank, and then use genetic engineering technology, that is, transgenic technology, to obtain a desired plant.

Genetic engineering, also known as gene splicing technology and DNA recombination technology, is based on molecular genetics and uses modern methods of molecular biology and microbiology to construct hybrid DNA in vitro according to pre-designed blueprints from genes from different sources. Molecules are then introduced into living cells to change the original genetic characteristics of organisms, obtain new varieties, and produce new products. Genetic engineering technology provides a powerful means for the study of the structure and function of genes.

Maybe many people panic when they hear about genetically modified technology. It sounds like a creation of God, and a new species can be created by finding some random combinations of genes, and maybe another intelligent species will be created. To be replaced, the inner panic can be imagined.

In addition, in the past few years, the society, media, etc. have carried out various reports on the safety of genetically modified food, which are often without scientific basis, and food security is a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and things related to genetics. In many cases, it takes a long time to observe to know whether it is really harmful, so people generally talk about disgust.

But in fact, transgenic technology is not so magical, and the recombination of genes is not arbitrary. If the genes of various completely unrelated species are forcibly combined randomly, the result will definitely be gene collapse, without any effect or result. This phenomenon is especially obvious in higher organisms. I haven't seen that just cloned animals can't live long! Not to mention genetically engineered organisms.

As for GMO foods, this is a very serious topic! (The author said that he was not at ease, and never dared to eat genetically modified corn, small tomatoes, etc.)

As the world's number one grain exporter, the United States has applied genetically modified technology to almost every crop, such as corn, soybeans, peanuts, etc. The use of genetically modified technology can not only cultivate high-quality, high-yield, pest-resistant crops, but the United States only relies on grain exports This weapon is stuck in 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 these imported grains 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 have bad intentions. The low price has hit your local food production enterprises, and there is no market for the original local crops. When everyone is habitually relying on their food, their tongues will be stuck. What's dead is the meat on someone else's chopping board.

Like the original soybean in the Northeast, it was once the main production area of ​​soybean oil in the world. Relying on this item can bring considerable foreign exchange to the world every year, and it can also bring good economic income to the farmers who plant it, but later the United States. Relying on genetically modified soybeans to enter the international and domestic markets at low prices, soybeans in Northeast China were instantly washed away, so that now, the soybeans that Chinese people need basically rely on imports, because there is no market for soybeans produced by yourself, and you will lose as much as you plant.

…….

The most prominent advantage of transgenic technology is that it breaks the boundaries between species that are difficult to break through conventional breeding. transfer. Human genes can be transferred to E. coli for expression, and bacterial genes can be transferred to plants for expression.

Shuiwa has taken a fancy to this point, and will want to use transgenic technology to achieve his goals. Only through transgenic technology can it be possible to develop Shuiwa's ideal plant.

Of course, there are countless countries and companies studying desert governance in the world, and research on transgenic technology is the main topic in the biological world, but now the focus is on food and medical treatment. The research on the use of transgenic technology for desert governance is still relatively Relatively cold.

Moreover, the research of transgenic technology is not as easy as imagined. Let’s not talk about the major difficulties of gene collapse, allograft rejection, and DNA confusion in gene transfer and recombination. Even if you successfully recombine a plant or animal, These new animals and plants still need to go through a long period of growth, observation, and experimentation. By the way, they are all calculated in years. Otherwise, you will not know what you have come up with, and what characteristics and functions it has.

Shuiwa, who is eager to change her hometown, naturally cannot study according to old-fashioned methods and ideas, and may not be able to successfully study her ideal plant in her lifetime.

After the almighty Liu Qingquan was stalked and beaten by Shuiwa, he had no choice but to take out two things from his treasure chest - the seed space, the primary gene decoder and the gene recombination evolution instrument.

The primary gene decoder is an instrument specially developed for biological research in the early stage of the development of the Alpha civilization. It can decode the genes of lower plant organisms and interpret the information carried by each DNA in the plant, which can greatly reduce the time for biological research.

When other people are still slowly researching genes one by one, to explore the characteristics and functions of this gene, the gene decoder can fully explain all the genes of this plant in just a few minutes, and what is this gene used for? To reproduce, that gene is used for drought resistance, cold resistance, etc., it is clear!

The genetic recombination evolution instrument is even more powerful. The researchers put their recombined genes into the evolution instrument, and the evolution instrument can completely evolve the gene's future conditions, whether it can resist cold and drought, and whether it can reproduce the next generation. , what kind of environment is needed for growth, etc.

There is no need for you to wait for the plant to grow slowly, and then test it one by one, which takes scientists a lot of time and energy.

Of course, this gene decoder and genetic recombination evolution instrument actually rely on huge genetic and biological databases to achieve their magical functions, and the key is the biological database!

Why do countries on earth work together to develop a human genome project, in fact, to obtain huge genetic data, establish a genetic database, and lay the foundation for future research. (To be continued.)
