my life simulator

It's a pity that with Lu Li's current knowledge, he can't solve this problem at all.

Even Populus euphratica, the most drought-tolerant plant in the world, does not meet the requirements and cannot green the desert at all.

How to keep life alive in the restricted area of ​​life?

Lu Li let out a long sigh, at least I can't solve this problem yet.

Even if Lu Li tried his best to expose his strength and call the wind and rain in the desert... he must be scientific in order to call the wind and the rain!Water vapor is scarce, and what a fart it is to call wind and rain!

Of course, this is still not enough.

If Lu Li was so strong that he could absorb the moisture directly from the sky above the ocean and drag it to the northwest desert to rain, then all problems would be solved.

If science can't handle it, use metaphysics!

Lu Li shook his head with a smile, then it might as well just have a spiritual revival... Huh?etc!

From the revival of spiritual energy, Lu Li suddenly felt a little inspiration.

At the beginning, when he was in the martial arts drama, Lu Li studied the "spiritual root gene" very thoroughly.

The spirit root gene is essentially a plant gene similar to photosynthesis, and it was an accident of a gentle girl that Lu Li discovered the existence of this gene.

If... If this gene is produced on plants, photosynthetic proteins can be produced by absorbing light radiation, and nutrients can be produced, wouldn't it be possible to greatly improve the viability of desert plants?

The spiritual root gene itself is a kind of gene similar to photosynthesis, and can be edited and modified on the photosynthesis gene of the plant itself.

Anyway, plants have no human rights, so it's fine to do whatever you want.Then try it!

Thinking of this, Lu Li opened the virtual laboratory with a thought.

"Virtual Desert Environment!"

With an order, the vast Gobi desert and sand dunes in the vast sea appeared in the virtual laboratory.

"Virtual Desert Plants."

In the next moment, on the vast Gobi, beside the sand dunes of the vast sea, various drought-tolerant desert plants grew.

Populus euphratica, Mongolian leek, camel thorn, apocynum, sand date, Hexi chrysanthemum, quinoa, Haloxylon, naked fruit tree, cactus... There are dozens of desert plants.

Lu Li took a branch of Populus euphratica and virtualized the genetic laboratory.

Sitting in front of the experimental table, Lu Li reached out and touched the branches of Populus euphratica, his consciousness penetrated into the branches, entered the microscopic state, and analyzed the genetic information of Populus euphratica.

After finding the photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica, Lu Li took a Populus euphratica seed and installed it on the test bench to prepare for gene editing experiments.

Naturally, the samples of spiritual root genes can only be taken from Lu Li himself.

A virtual drop of Lu Li's own blood was created, and a fragment of the spiritual root gene was extracted on the genetic test bench. Lu Li then used gene editing technology to combine this fragment of the spiritual root gene into the gene of Populus euphratica seeds.

On this step, Lu Li thought of two options.The first one is to directly replace the photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica with the spiritual root gene.The second is to connect the spiritual root gene and the photosynthesis gene in series.

Soon, Lu Li made all the Populus euphratica seeds that had been genetically edited by the two methods.

Picking up the two seeds, Lu Li walked into the virtual desert environment, found a random place, and threw the two seeds in the desert.

Not watered!Expose the seeds directly to the sun.

With the spiritual root gene, it can directly absorb light radiation to generate photosynthetic protein, which can be transformed into nutrients, and it can grow without water, right?

In fact... no!

In the accelerated virtual time in the virtual laboratory, the two gene-edited Populus euphratica seeds showed no sign of taking root or sprouting at all.

Well, in the end it still can't go against the sky!

Seeds need sunlight to germinate, they need to breathe oxygen, they need to absorb water, and they need to be provided with a certain temperature.This is a necessary condition.

Lu Li smiled, stretched out his hand and made a virtual stream of water, pouring it on the two seeds.

Because it is a desert, water loss is very fast.Lu Li could only wait aside and continue to water the two seeds after a while.

Slowly, the two seeds absorbed water and swelled, the spores inside began to germinate, and the vitality was blooming.

Both seeds germinated!

Lu Li waved his hand, "Virtual time speeds up!"

In the acceleration of virtual time, the two seeds took root and germinated visible to the naked eye.

And then... a seedling from a seed dies quickly.

This is the seed that Lu Li replaced the photosynthesis gene with the spiritual root gene.As soon as the seedlings are born, they die immediately.

Replacing the photosynthetic gene with the spiritual root gene will not work at all.

Lu Li shook his head and focused on another seedling.

For this seedling, Lu Li connected the spiritual root gene and the photosynthesis gene together. Both the photosynthesis gene and the spiritual root gene work at the same time.

This seedling is doing well.

The growth rate far exceeds that of normal Populus euphratica.

Normal Populus euphratica grows very slowly, and it can grow for more than 1000 years.Now this Populus euphratica seedling grows much faster.

This is because of the spirit root gene.

Even in a barren desert, even if no nutrients can be absorbed, with the existence of spiritual root genes, one can obtain nutrients by basking in the sun.

Lu Li discovered that the spiritual root genes and photosynthesis are very compatible!

We know that photosynthesis is when plants absorb sunlight, convert carbon dioxide and water into organic matter, and release oxygen.

Linggen gene absorbs light energy and produces photosynthetic protein.Photosynthetic proteins need to absorb oxygen for oxidation in order to generate biochemical energy.

So... Populus euphratica is self-sufficient!

The oxygen generated by photosynthesis is absorbed by the photosynthetic protein produced by the spirit root gene, and converted into bioenergy, which is integrated into the plant cells of Populus euphratica to accelerate the growth of Populus euphratica.

In this way, Populus euphratica has a very extreme demand for land, and it hardly needs to absorb fertilizers, and it can grow as long as it is exposed to the sun.

But...it still needs water.

Although the demand for water has been greatly reduced, Populus euphratica still needs water to participate in photosynthesis when performing photosynthesis.

This is not a bad thing!

Nutrients and energy generated by spiritual root genes and photosynthesis genes provide the material basis for growth.

The demand for water makes the roots of Populus euphratica grow rapidly and continue to go deep into the ground.The root system becomes more developed.

A Populus euphratica planted alive in the dry desert!

The spiritual root gene combined with the photosynthesis gene can make Populus euphratica completely free from the need for soil fertility. It only needs to bask in the sun and take root in the ground to absorb part of the water used for photosynthesis.

It does not need water as a transport tool to deliver nutrients to the cells!The biochemical energy produced by the spirit root gene directly penetrates into every cell of Populus euphratica.

The wooden structure of this brand new Populus euphratica will be terribly dense, comparable to steel.

It seems... something amazing has been made!

Chapter 641 I accidentally made Populus euphratica Lingmu

The Populus euphratica tree in front of me does not look like Populus euphratica.

The original Populus euphratica tree has twisted and twisted branches, which grow a little crookedly.The Populus euphratica tree in front of me has become straight and tall.

In terms of wooden structure, there is also a huge difference between the two.

The original Populus euphratica tree is known for its tenacity, standing upright in the desert wind and sand.The toughness of wood is very high, but the hardness is very average.

Today's Populus euphratica has not only further improved its toughness on the original basis, but also sharply increased its hardness.

When Lu Li stretched out his hand to break a branch, he clearly felt the hardness and tenacity of a steel bar.

The wood on the branch fracture is smooth and dense, more rounded and delicate than sandalwood, denser and harder.

In terms of wood alone, the new species of Populus euphratica is already the top hardwood material.

This kind of wood, in addition to the general use of wood, is used to make furniture and various wooden utensils, and can even be used as a steel plate.

Hard and tough, dense and round Populus euphratica board, lighter than steel, but stronger in strength, hardness and toughness than steel.It can be used to build cargo ships, warships, aircraft carriers, and nuclear submarines. It is more resistant to seawater corrosion than steel plates.

More importantly... Lu Li felt a kind of energy similar to true energy on the branch of Populus euphratica.

The dissipated energy is very little, and most of the energy is absorbed by Populus euphratica for the growth of the tree itself.

Lu Li had expected this for a long time, so he wasn't surprised.

Adding the spiritual root gene to the gene of Populus euphratica, the new species of Populus euphratica produced absorbs light radiation all the time and generates biochemical energy, which is exactly the same as the source of true energy.

Lu Li smiled, and shook the Populus euphratica branch in his hand, the mana poured into the branch, very transparent and smooth, and the mana conduction was extremely high.

This thing... can already be regarded as a kind of spiritual wood!

The mana conductivity is extremely high, and the mana affinity is extremely strong. It is very suitable for making wooden charms, wooden magic tools, and even wooden swords.

Of course, Lu Li didn't need to use these things to refine any magic weapon.On the contrary, I was a little worried about whether this "spiritual wood" would cause any problems.

If the appearance of "Euphratica Spiritual Tree" triggers a "spiritual energy recovery" in the real world, then that is not what Lu Li wants to see.

"Test it first."

Lu Li picked up the broken Populus euphratica branch, walked into the virtual laboratory, and tested the branch of Populus euphratica.

In the experiment, Lu Li first simulated various animals and asked them to eat the leaves of Populus euphratica.

Lu Li discovered that animals that ate Populus euphratica leaves digested and absorbed the bioenergy produced in the leaves, or "spiritual energy", which would improve the physical fitness of these animals.

If they are eaten for a long time and nourished by "spiritual energy" for a long time, these animals will become stronger and have better physiques, but... they cannot break the limit of genes.

fine!fine!

As long as the genetic limit cannot be broken, as long as other animals are not allowed to generate spiritual root genes, it will not cause too much impact.

Lu Li nodded slightly, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Next, Lu Li began to study the influence of Populus euphratica on humans.

In addition to eating the young leaves of Populus euphratica, Lu Li also imagined various products made of Populus euphratica, such as tables, chairs, sofas and beds.It is used to observe the influence of Populus euphratica on the human body.

Just like animal experiments, eating the leaves of Populus euphratica will nourish and improve people's physical fitness.

This improvement is all-round and has a great nourishing effect on kidney function.

So... in the future, the leaves of Populus euphratica will probably become a nourishing product that is loved by middle-aged and elderly men!

Populus euphratica leaves to make tea is much more effective than making wolfberry!

Lu Li smiled and shook his head.It's up to you, as long as you don't pick off all the leaves.

As for those spiritual wood products, the scattered spiritual energy radiation is relatively weak, and the nourishing effect is much worse than eating the leaves directly, but it can still relieve fatigue and nourish the spirit.

No negative effects have been found, and the positive nourishing effect is not too outrageous, there will be no "spiritual energy recovery", and it will not cause turmoil in the real order.

So far no problems have been found.

Now we have to see whether the large-scale planting of Populus euphratica will lead to qualitative changes from quantitative changes!

Lu Li walked to the virtual desert, looked at a Populus euphratica tree growing in front of him, smiled, and waved his hand, "Virtual Populus euphratica forest!"

With a flash of light, the vast desert in front of us has turned into an endless Populus euphratica forest in a few years.

Populus euphratica trees stand tall in the desert.

The dense branches and leaves are like canopies, and the huge trunk with a diameter of more than one meter rises straight.The original vast yellow sand has turned into a large green forest.

Judging from the virtual scene, the Populus euphratica spiritual wood produced by Lu Li does have the ability to transform and green the desert.

These Populus euphratica spirit trees are used to prevent wind and fix sand. Over time, soil will be deposited on the yellow sandy ground, which will eventually turn into fertile soil.

Lu Li nodded slightly. It is now confirmed that the gene editing experiment has been successful this time.

Now we have to see if this huge spiritual wood forest will bring too much "spiritual energy".

Lu Li's figure flickered, and he flew into the air, floating in the middle of the spirit wood forest.

Letting go of his soul, Lu Li clearly felt that in the vast forest below, countless Populus euphratica trees were radiating spiritual energy.

Although a single Populus euphratica spirit tree emits very little aura radiation, the total amount of aura radiation existing in such a huge forest of spirit trees is still astonishing.

It's just... If you don't use the spirit-gathering array to collect these spiritual energy radiation, the spiritual energy will be scattered in an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and the overall concentration of spiritual energy will still be very low.
