"It's the chain-like proteins inside the spore cell, and they connect to each other to form a highway inside the cell."

"This is the motor protein inside the spore cell. They are molecular-level porters, or drivers inside the cell, shuttling back and forth on the chain protein highway to transport energy for the cell."

Lu Li followed his own consciousness to observe the situation inside the spore cells, and explained to the students the internal structure and operation mechanism of the giant algal spores on the display screen of the electron microscope.

"Teacher is worthy of being a teacher, it's amazing!"

"Yes! Yes! Even the structure and function of macroalgae spores are understood so deeply, it's amazing!"

The students around were full of admiration, their faces full of admiration.

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 each organism.

The teacher's knowledge is profound and vast.

Lu Li smiled all over his face, thinking to himself: I only figured it out by cheating with my superpower.

During the process of explaining, Lu Li's soul consciousness had already penetrated into the nucleus of the spore cell, and he saw the DNA sequence of the giant algae with his own eyes.

Consciousness fell on the DNA molecular chain of the giant algae, and Lu Li began to decipher the genetic information of the giant algae.

With Lu Li's current knowledge, after seeing the DNA molecular chains of giant algae with his own eyes and experiencing the information expressed in them, it is not difficult to decipher the genetic information of giant algae.

After deciphering the genetic information of the giant algae, Lu Li's soul consciousness had completely memorized the genetic information.

Today's Lu Li, the spiritual consciousness has been integrated with the body, completely integrated into every cell in the whole body.

After the genetic information of the giant algae was memorized by the soul consciousness, Lu Li suddenly had a feeling, as if... I could copy the genetic information in my own cells.

What does it mean?This means... Lu Li can turn into a seaweed!

So... that's what it means to be ever-changing?

This is a kind of "real metamorphosis", not just a "transfiguration" that imitates the appearance, but a copy from the genetic level, essentially changing into another biological form.

This is interesting!

Lu Li smiled, his soul consciousness was separated from the spore cells in his hand, and he didn't have the idea of ​​turning into seaweed.

After comprehending the "Real Transformation Technique", Lu Li gained a lot.

Druids in Western Fantasy are proficient in transfiguration and can transform into various creatures.What kind of birds and beasts swim and fish can even turn into a tree.

Now, my "Real Transformation" can completely reach the level of druid's transformation.

Of course, now is not the time to think about it.

Lu Li smiled and focused on the experiment in front of him.

After his consciousness went deep into the spores and fully interpreted the genetic information of the giant algae, Lu Li's genetic editing and improvement of the giant algae was ready.

Turning his head to look at Wen Wan next to him, Lu Li asked, "Wen Wan, what kind of foreign gene did you plan to add to the giant algae's gene?"

"I've tried many kinds."

Sister Wen Wan replied: "I have tried rice, corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even some fruits. But...it didn't work once."

"Then have you tried the cactus gene?" Lu Li smiled at the gentle girl.

"cactus?"

The Wen Wan girl was startled, "Teacher, you mean... use the nutrient storage mechanism of the cactus to modify the genes of the giant algae so that it can store nutrients on the leaves?"

"Correct!"

Lu Li nodded, "The sea environment is different from the land environment. It is more difficult to flower and bear fruit, and there are no bees and butterflies that pass flowers and pollinate!"

"Ha ha!"

The Wen Wan girl touched her head, "I forgot about this!"

"Actually, it is not impossible to carry out genetic modification from the seed direction."

Lu Li said to Wen Wan, "Treat the spore leaf as a flower, and use seawater to spread the pollen. However, in this way, gene editing and modification will be more difficult, and there will be more genes to modify."

"so……"

Wen Wan's face was full of helplessness, "I thought of two ways of thinking, but I chose the most difficult one?"

"Facing the difficulties! The spirit is commendable!" Lu Li made a joke.

"Haha! Facing the difficulties, you can!"

The students next to me laughed together.

"What are you laughing laughing?"

Sister Wen Wan glared at everyone, "The teacher said that facing up to difficulties is difficult, so don't get it wrong!"

Now... even Lu Li laughed.

"Okay! Don't make trouble!"

Lu Li waved his hand, "Go get a piece of cactus, succulents are fine, quickly extract the genes! Everyone do it once, go!"

"Ok!"

Everyone got up quickly, collected materials, and prepared to do experiments.

Things like cacti are naturally not uncommon.It doesn't even have to be a cactus, any succulent will work.

There are samples of cacti in the biology laboratory.There are also succulent plants raised by Wen Wan's sister in the office, all of which can be used for experiments.

A group of doctoral students flocked to it, and the pot of succulents placed on Wen Wan's desk had all its leaves removed in an instant, leaving only a bare stem.

"I'm furious!"

The Wen Wan girl stomped her feet, and then... cut off all the stems of the succulent plants.

The experiment of extracting genes is very simple, and middle schools with better conditions can do it, not to mention these doctoral students with special equipment.

A moment later, everyone came to Lu Li with the test tube containing the succulent gene.

"Teacher, we're done!" Everyone reported to Lu Li.

"Ok!"

Lu Li took a test tube from Wen Wan's sister, took a little gene with a thin tube suction needle, and put it on the test bench.

"I'll demonstrate it first, and then you can do it again later."

Lu Li turned on the electron microscope, and the succulent gene was displayed on the screen.

"First, we need to analyze and interpret the genes of succulents, and determine which gene expresses the nutrient storage mechanism."

Lu Li pointed to the display screen, explained to everyone, and selected the nutrient storage gene of succulent plants.

Pick up the gene probe, inject gene target protein and gene transcription protein, and transcribe a piece of gene information representing the nutrient storage mechanism from the gene of the succulent plant through transcriptase.

Next, Lu Li combined the transcription protein that transcribed the gene information with the gene splicing protein, and then injected it into the gene of the macroalgal spore cells.

Lu Li had already deciphered the genetic information of the giant algae, and was very clear about the nutrient storage mechanism of the giant algae, so he 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 quickly moves to the position of the target gene fragment.

The splicing protein cuts off the gene chain, loads the gene fragment transcribed in the transcription protein on the incision, and soon combines with the gene chain of the giant algae itself to reconstruct a new gene sequence.

The splicing protein and transcription protein are then decomposed and become nutrients for spore cells.

"The experiment has reached this step, and it has been completed."

Lu Li smiled at the crowd, "Next, we will have to wait until the genetically modified macroalgae are cultivated before we can confirm the results of the experiment!"

"The teacher is amazing!"

"Yes! The operation is too precise!"

There was a burst of applause all around.

"Okay, stop flattering!"

Lu Li waved his hand at everyone, "According to the method I just did, you can do it again yourself."

"Ok!"

Everyone went to the test bench and tried again according to Lu Li's demonstration teaching just now.

Lu Li walked around the lab, watching everyone carefully experimenting.

Compared with Lu Li's precise and quick operation, these students who did not have supernatural perception to cheat, stumbled in operation, and succeeded in only one or two gene editing out of ten times.

This is why Lu Li has developed brand new gene targeting technology and gene editing technology.

If you use the previous gene editing technology, it is not bad to be successful once in a hundred times.

"That's it! You guys take your time to experiment!"

Lu Li greeted everyone, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.

According to Lu Li's judgment, the gene editing experiment on giant algae must have been successful.

However, to verify the experimental results, we have to wait for the genetically modified seaweed to be cultivated.

For the genetic improvement of giant algae, it is definitely not perfect once.

The main problem is... the macroalgae modified by gene editing are to be eaten as food.

There is a question of whether it is good or not!

Macroalgae are rich in nutrition, 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.

Changing the nutrient storage mechanism, macroalgae that grow hypertrophic leaves will also deposit a large amount 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.

He stepped 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 car door for Lu Li, greeted Lu Li into the car, and said, "Are you planning to study new technologies in genetics?"

He has served as Lu Li's assistant for a long time, and he is very familiar with Lu Li. Assistant Tian is not so strict, and has a serious military style, and his speech has become a little more casual.

"Yes!"

Lu Li nodded, "I just finished the experiment with the students, and I'm going to farm in the ocean!"

"Uh... farming in the sea?"

Assistant Tian was stunned for a moment. When will it be possible to farm in the sea?

Well, you are the most powerful scientist in the world, you can farm on the moon as long as you want!

"Is it strange to farm in the ocean?"

Lu Li smiled, "There are also plants in the ocean!"

"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 the wheat that can be grown in the ocean?"

Assistant Tian's eyes widened, "Oh my God! How tall does the wheat have to be to grow from the bottom of the sea!"

"At least 80 meters, usually 200 meters, and the longest is more than 500 meters!" Lu Li replied seriously.

"Wheat at a height of 500 meters?"

Assistant Tian couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Okay, no kidding!"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "It's not wheat, it's a kind of seaweed. This kind of giant algae can grow up to 500 meters. I modified it with genetic technology to make it produce food."

"Let seaweed produce food?"

Assistant Tian was stunned for a long time before holding back a sentence, "Amazing!"

You can make seaweed produce food, but what about making roosters lay eggs next time?

In the future... will men have children?
