Chapter 417: Evolution, Evolution

Ma Atletico stretched out his hand and pressed on the back of the sofa and jumped hard, jumped up deftly, turned over the backrest and sat on the sofa, reached out and snatched the mobile phone from Tang Jiayi's hand, and at the same time kept talking, "Second Sister Lu is really boring enough, it's not good to do her research, what are you doing with all this?"

"So, yes but yes?"

Facing Tang Jiayi's scrutinizing gaze, Atletico tilted his head and smiled: "Jiajia, do you know the intestinal symbiotic flora?"

But then he replied as if he remembered something: "Of course you know, you are also a biology graduate, although it is only a small undergraduate ......."

"You don't seem to be a little undergraduate?" Along with these words, a pillow with a round panda head pattern was smashed into Atletico's arms.

Grabbing the pillow with both hands and throwing it up and down casually, Atletico Madrid said: "Actually, ......"

Lu Xinquan, who returned to school to charge again, chose a research topic that happened to be in the direction of bacteria and microorganisms, and Jiajing's Jin Ke Laduo Bacterial Fertilizer was in the limelight in academia and agriculture and forestry this year.

In fact, the extraction of ingredients from human excrement and "turning waste into treasure" is a very popular research direction in recent years, among which the extraction of urokinase from urine and some human hormones for pharmaceutical use seems to be "normal" After all, Tongzi urine is also a famous traditional Chinese medicine, and the intestinal symbiotic flora is extracted from the poop, and then made into capsules or enemas or something, so that patients with intestinal diseases with imbalance of intestinal bacteria can eat or pour into it, both the operator and the recipient have to make a lot of determination to do it.

Compared with these, the use of poop to produce Jinkela multi-bacterial fertilizer, in fact, is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than a high-tech version of farm fertilizer.

Of course, this fertilizer is a little different, the main components of the general fertilizer are a solid or liquid mixed with one or a variety of inorganic substances, which will release a large number of elemental ions such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur necessary for plant growth, as well as trace element ions such as iron, manganese, copper, zinc, molybdenum, boron, chlorine and so on. As for all kinds of organic fertilizer, in fact, the organic part is not absorbed by plants, but "fed" to the bacteria and microorganisms in the soil, after the digestion cycle of these microorganisms, the organic matter will slowly become inorganic, in which the inorganic nutrients soluble in water are absorbed by the plant roots, so there is organic fertilizer, farmhouse fertilizer fertility lasting without hurting seedlings.

The biggest difference between the intercalary soil brand Jinkela multi-bacterial fertilizer and other organic fertilizers is that it itself has a complete flora, and their role is the same as "intestinal bacteria transplantation", which is to bring a vibrant microbial system to the barren and desolate land, so as to use them to decompose animal and plant residues, soil, and provide inorganic nutrients necessary for the growth of plants.

As a biology background, Tang Jiayi naturally can't understand the principle of Jin Kela, although she did not go deep into the front line to do research and development, but she also paid attention to the progress process of this fertilizer research and development process and various technical nodes, and the only thing she didn't understand was why Atleticco's intestinal bacteria were connected with soil flora.

In fact, strictly speaking, Lu Xinquan's statement is actually wrong, the main ingredient of Jin Ke La's soil flora is still soil flora, researchers collected a large number of soil samples from all over the country, and then extracted soil flora from it, and used bioengineering technology to cultivate it on a large scale.

Otherwise, how much fertilizer can Atletico eat and pull, and how much fertilizer can it produce?

As for why it has to be Atletico Madrid's poop, it naturally has a lot to do with his body that has been modified by alien technology.

Life is so wonderful that the more you delve into it, the more fascinating it becomes, and the more bewildering and awe-inspiring it becomes.

The entire human gene comes from the original zygote, from the chromosomes provided by each parent, or from the 46 double helix DNA molecules in a total of 46 chromosomes.

At the end of the last century, biologists from six countries, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and China, joined forces to launch a multinational research program called the Human Genome Project (HGP), with the goal of measuring the genetic code contained in the 3 billion base pairs that make up the human DNA molecule, and thereby identifying all human genes.

Although HGP was announced to be completed 10 years ago, it was only a "sketch" of the human genome at that time, mainly because the DNA molecule was too long to read the information directly from beginning to end.

The first thing scientists need to do is to check the information on the fragments, determine the order between them, and then create a physical map of the genes, which can then be used as a basis for further detailed research region by region.

Therefore, at that time, HGP actually completed only the most basic physical map, and did not actually decode the specific human genetics, and there were a lot of biomedical companies doing this work, as long as they can find a valuable gene, they can apply for a patent, and then they can not worry about eating and drinking for 20 years.

While patenting genes may sound shameless, it is a matter of course in a modern society where capital is king. Of course, biopharmaceutical companies do not register gene patents to collect patent fees from the 7 billion people around the world, but to develop corresponding drugs, tools and technologies through further research on these genes, and make money from them. For example, if you find a gene for a genetic disease, in-depth research can develop a genetic disease detection probe to prevent genetic diseases, and even develop gene repair drugs to completely end all kinds of "family curses"; Expression genes for physical traits such as height, it would be better, and genetic plastic surgery technology will appear in the future, and customizing the perfect baby is not a dream.

Well, if you want to achieve this step, there is not much problem in technology, the key difficulty is in the high investment and low return, if you want to achieve "human genetic engineering", you need to further measure all 40,000 human genes, the investment in human and material resources is undoubtedly huge, but the operation of human genes will undoubtedly face very serious ethical risks and public opinion pressure, just to get a transgenic rice and soybeans have been killed by countless people, not to mention directly to the people themselves?

And capital has always been both bold and timid, bold when profitable, timid when the risk is too high. Although it cannot be ruled out that some scientists are engaged in research on human cloning and even human genome assembly in disregard of the appeal of public opinion, there is no doubt that under the pressure of public opinion, their research can only be carried out secretly, and the speed cannot be fast at all.

It is not clear whether there are "genetically modified people" and "genetically engineered people" in other places, but one thing is very clear to Atletico Madrid, that is, the four of them almost became the first batch of "perfect humans" created by alien technology, but unfortunately that plan was finally abandoned by himself.

Since the embryo began to differentiate and grow, forming epidermal muscle nerves, the proliferation and replacement of human somatic cells is completed by relying on various stem cells with a clear division of labor throughout the body, hematopoietic stem cells, muscle stem cells, skin stem cells, etc., so if you want to modify human genes, the best period can only be in the fertilized egg stage. The practice of "opening the gene lock to release the huge potential of the body" as said in the infinite stream novel cannot happen in reality, anyway, the current human technology can also modify the genetic material of the human body's whole body stem cells simultaneously.

It's possible for an alien technology like e7u to do this, but this guy won't do it because it's not programmatic.

Since Atletico stepped on that strange USB flash drive and implanted E7U into his body, the latter began to observe, study and transform Atletico's body, so that he could eat more, become stronger, energetic, and never get sick.

Comprehensively modify the genetic material of Atletico whole body cells, especially stem cells of various organs, e7u is not impossible or unwilling to do, because from its design purpose, it is to induce and assist intelligent creatures to get rid of the low-level fun of the flesh o mortal fetus, and switch to the "innate information avenue", to help coordinate and optimize the body of Atletico Madrid, and continuously improve its power output. The energy reserve and stability are only to improve its individual survivability, and at the same time provide full support for the transformation process of cyborgs, and its main program does not help intelligent beings improve and optimize their genetic material.

And it is also a very difficult grand project to change the genetic material of the whole body, 100 trillion cells in the human body update 100,000 every day, but the renewal cycle of each part of the cell is different, including brain cells and other nerve cells after birth will no longer increase and renew occupy the majority of the daily renewal volume, mainly various blood cells, as well as epithelial cells on the surface of the skin and digestive tract, and the renewal rate of cells in other organs is much slower.

However, if the DNA of all cells cannot be refreshed in a short period of time, then two cells with different genetic materials from each other may misjudge in "friend or foe recognition", activate the immune system and produce rejection reactions, resulting in physical discomfort and even organ failure, which may be life-threatening in severe cases, and such consequences are unacceptable to both Atletico Madrid and e7u.

e7U regulates Atletico's body, relying more on the body's own nerve signals and hormone signaling system, supplemented by some virus-like biological tools, and does not modify his genes, so although he has a lot of special abilities, Atletico is still a purebred earthling.

However, people always have all kinds of longs, picking up sesame seeds and wanting to pick up watermelons, and E7U is essentially just a guidance tool, Atletico Madrid began to develop the latter's new function after figuring out the general principle and working mechanism of the latter.

Since you can't directly modify your own genes, it's also good to modify the genes of future children and give them a stronger and smarter body, with this idea, Atletico made a difficult decision, that is, to let E7U transform his balls (originally wanted to change one to keep a backup, but there was still a conflict problem, so I had to endure the pain and change it all), modify the genes of all the spermatogonia cells in it, so that the billion soldiers created in the eggs can have healthier genetic information, laying a solid foundation for eugenics。

However, the project, which Atletico privately named "Perfect Human", was terminated by his own order after four years of going on.

Atletico Madrid: "Ahem, I didn't make this decision because I saw an article on 'Why does Ji 1 have children?'Oh no, it's 'Why can same-sex n genes be inherited smoothly?', I just can't stand Jiajia's eyes looking at other people's children, okay!"

Actually, he was scared.

Although scientists have estimated that humans have nearly 40,000 genes, only 35 million pairs of the 3 billion base pairs (genetic code) in the nucleus of humans and chimpanzees are significantly different, and 5 million pairs are slightly different, adding up to only 1.3% difference. With the exception of chimpanzees, which are "99% close" to humans, the genetic differences between humans and mice, pigs, and even fruit flies and nematodes are much smaller than was estimated before the Genome Project began.

The 80% genetic similarity between humans and mice, in addition to further confirming that the mice are very good and the experiment requires it, also makes many people feel ruined, and even no longer believe in evolution.

But when he came to Atletico Madrid, what he saw was the amplification of small differences at the genetic level, and there was no doubt that it was the part of the genes that caused the difference between humans and these animals that caused the difference between each other.

Therefore, he finally chose to give up the plan to create a "perfect soldier", according to the current rhythm of a paper in the field of genes every three or five days, more or less to refresh people's genetic cognition, if he does not choose to give up, unless he holds the spirit of scientific farming and produces more experiments, otherwise he can only wait for the further improvement of human genetic engineering technology.

At the same time, on the other hand, because of the lack of sperm and infertility, he has been persuaded and urged by the three members of the Tang family, so he simply gave up and gave birth early with peace of mind.

Of course, even if the plan was abandoned, he still reaped some results, although there was no "perfect soldier" that completely matched his heart, but it was still possible to eliminate the genetic disease genes with reference to the proven results, but the remaining "junk" genes (which do not participate in the production of proteins, seemingly useless) He did not dare to move, in case there were genes that affected the development of brain and language function, wouldn't it be a cup if he moved?

As for why his excrement contains "element X", which can improve the soil flora, this is naturally an intentional result of Atletico Madrid. It's too cruel to do genetic engineering experiments on your own children, and it doesn't fit the national policy of family planning, but it doesn't matter if it's bacteria.

The genetic material and physiological mechanisms of these single-celled organisms are much simpler, and it only took a few months for Atletico to go from being a "human genetics brick artist" to a "soil bacteriology expert". For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
