Ling Zikai had doubts in his heart, and after thinking about 8@, he asked, "Uncle Lin, is this gene mutation infectious?"

Lin Xingan shook his head and said: "The gene itself is only hereditary, that is, the gene of this mutation can replicate itself precisely when the cell divides. Under certain conditions, it can also be suddenly changed from the original form of existence to another new form of existence, that is, at a locus, a new gene appears, replaces the original gene, and suddenly has a new trait in its offspring that the ancestors never had.

Of course, there are cases of parallel transmission through contact, but the probability is very small. It mainly occurs in prokaryotes, which are commonly referred to as bacteria, and are called transduction, but this type of eukaryotic organism is very rare. ”

Could it be that those gray breaths are eukaryotes?

Ling Zikai secretly guessed, and then asked, "Uncle Lin, since we already know the cause of the fir tree's death, the next thing to do is to find a way to solve this problem." I had already received data from Musen before I came to the Forestry University, and so far, they have sold nearly a billion fir seedlings in almost the entire northern province. It is not clear how much of the incidence of these fir trees is, but it is estimated that it will not be less than 30%, and there is also the possibility of parallel infection, if it is not effectively controlled and treated, the consequences will be very serious.

Lin Xing'an sighed: "The only way is to mismatch the missing bases, eliminate the redundant, and restore the normal sequence." But with current GMO technology, this is simply not possible. If there is still parallel infection of this mutant gene, the only way to do this is to cut down all the planted fir trees and destroy them intensively to prevent the spread of eukaryotes. ”

Nearly a billion trees have been cut down and destroyed, not to mention the amount of work, even the economic losses are unbearable. Such a choice would certainly not be made unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, in Ling Zikai's view, it is not as Lin Xingan said that there is no solution. At the very least, the ancestral energy in his body can restrain those eukaryotic creatures and repair the mutant gene. It's just that the ancestral god energy in his body is limited, even if he can govern a dozen or even hundreds of mountains and forests, it is a drop in the bucket.

"Uncle Lin, Sister Du Juan said that nearly 50,000 fir saplings have also been planted in our Yunhai Forest Farm, and there was also a phenomenon of death a while ago. She's asked you to check it out, but I wonder what's going on with those fir forests now?"

"I've been to see the fir forest, and it did die before, but the trees in the early stages of the disease seem to be showing signs of recovery. ”

Ling Zikai's heart moved when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Lin, those fir trees are genetically modified seedlings purchased from Musen Company, it stands to reason that there is no phenomenon of spreading and dying, how can there be a phenomenon of recovery?"

Lin Xingan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then frowned, obviously unable to understand the reason.

Zhang Nan next to him said on a whim: "Could it be that there is a special thing in the forest farm that can restrain eukaryotes?"

Ling Zikai's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he secretly scolded himself: I'm really smart and confused for a while!

Now, the area of Weiyang Lake is not born with new energy elements.

That new energy and the ancestral god energy belong to the same element in essence, and since the ancestral god energy can restrain eukaryotic creatures, that new energy naturally has the same effect.

Isn't that fir forest adjacent to Weiyang Lake? According to the speed at which new energy is circulating, it is likely that the current coverage has spread to the area of the fir forest.

It was under the influence of new energy that those withered fir trees were brought back to life.

Thinking that he had finally discovered the hope of curing the crisis of fir tree disease, Ling Zikai suddenly became excited. Immediately afterwards, he became depressed as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head.

There is a solution, but this method is not realistic because it cannot be implemented.

I can't have cultivated this new energy in every place where fir trees have been planted!

However, Zhang Nan's words reminded Lin Xing'an: "It seems that I have to rush back to the sea of clouds immediately and carefully investigate those fir trees to see if I can find a solution to the problem." ”

After leaving Lin University, Ling Zikai called Zhang Jiefang and told him the test results.

At the same time, Zhang Jiefang also received information from the forestry departments in some places. The fir forests planted in the area have shown varying degrees of death.

This information made Zhang Jiefang realize the seriousness of the problem and reported the situation to the main leaders of the province.

The province held a special meeting on the incident and decided to set up an emergency response team, headed by Zhang Jiefang, to be fully responsible for investigating the incident and properly resolving the forestry crisis caused by it.

Zhang Jiefang's main concern now is also how to manage these fir trees. Ask Ling Zikai if there is any way.

Ling Zikai bluntly said that he was also trying to find a solution now, and once he had an eyebrow, he would definitely tell him as soon as possible.

When he returned to the Baishan Hotel, he saw Gu Yina waiting and handed him a detailed information about the Musen Company.

The efficiency of this special service team is really fast, not only did it get the information in the shortest time, but some of the content also involved the secrets of the Montenegro Group, the headquarters of Musen Company.

According to the data, Musen Company got the new genetically modified technology from the Nanshan Group from the returnee Dr. Kong three years ago, and cultivated the genetically modified fir tree after the experiment.

As advertised, the GM trees grow several times faster than non-GMO trees, and the cost of growing seedlings is much lower.

If cultivated with normal techniques, it takes three years for the seeds of a fir tree to grow from germination to transplanting.

But with the use of genetically modified technology, this cycle can be shortened to half a year. In other words, on the same nursery, only one batch of seedlings can be produced in three years, but now six batches can be cultivated.

It is no wonder that the company has cultivated nearly one billion seedlings in just three years.

When the seedlings were successfully cultivated, the company had actually discovered that there was a defect in the base pair in the gene, but driven by profits, they completely ignored this defect.

In their words, genetically modified trees are not the same as genetically modified soybeans, corn and other food plants, and even if they are defective, they will not cause any harm.

However, they never expected that it was precisely because of this defect that these fir trees were born with deformities and began to die before they could grow.
