Chapter 357: A Special Virus

Zhang Zhi exited the virtual world, and it passed the comparison before and after. I already know what Xinglan is capable of now.

She is much more capable, and she has completely replaced herself with a high-speed train. After learning about Xinglan's ability, Zhang Zhi also had new ideas for the company's future planning.

He saw that Xinglan had already prepared a few dishes and served them on the table. The color, flavor and flavor are all available, which can arouse people's appetite.

Zhang Zhi looked at Xinglan sitting on the sofa, and he praised: "Xinglan is really capable, and the dishes he makes people have an appetite when they look at it, and they are even better than the star chefs." ”

Xinglan is a child's heart, and when she heard Zhang Zhi's praise, she had long forgotten the unhappiness just now. She blushed and was very happy.

Zhang Zhi looked at the time and found that it was almost 12 o'clock.

At this time, Li Lingqiu has already returned. I wonder what happened to her today?

He just wanted to use his quantum phone to check Li Lingqiu's location, when he saw Li Lingqiu walking in from outside.

Li Lingqiu's face was very bad, and his expression was mixed with anxiety, panic, surprise and a hint of expectation.

Zhang Zhi got up to meet him and asked with concern, "Lingqiu, what happened." Your expression is so abnormal. ”

Li Lingqiu said with a sigh: "Due to the intensification of global warming, an ancient virus has been released in the frozen soil of Siberia. ”

Zhang Zhi's face was solemn, and he asked solemnly: "Lingqiu, has there been an accident in which areas?

Which cells in the body are invaded, and the immune system is not able to kill them by replacing the cells in time? ”

"Brother Zhang, you think too much. The virus is not harmful to humans or other animals. Li Lingqiu shook his head and said.

Zhang Zhi asked suspiciously: "Since this virus is harmless, why is your expression very complicated when you entered the door just now." ”

Li Lingqiu sat on the sofa, and he told Zhang Zhi in detail about the discovery of this virus.

They studied the establishment of the Sasolin ecosystem at Huaxia University.

Professor Yang Bei of Huaxia University led a group of people to be responsible for the establishment of a microbial ecosystem.

Professor Fu Yuhua of the University of Agricultural Sciences led a group of people who were responsible for the establishment of the carnivore ecosystem.

Li Lingqiu led people and was responsible for the establishment of the herbivore ecosystem.

Li Lingqiu followed Zhang Zhi's advice, and she experimented with rabbits, pheasants, goats and other animals.

She selected samples from various places and conducted experiments separately.

Li Lingqiu sighed and said: "When I was doing experiments, I found a special arctic rabbit.

That's due to the teacher who kept them on leave. Everyone was so busy that they forgot to arrange a new breeder.

The other rabbits, who had not eaten for several days and could only drink through the sink, were dying.

With only one rabbit, it's like someone feeds it every day. It's very spiritual. ”

Zhang Zhi asked curiously, "How is this rabbit now?" ”

Li Lingqiu said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we didn't dissect it." This is a unique subject, we will create the best living conditions for it, let it live longer, and preferably breed a family.

We extracted its tissue cells and found that its epidermal cells had been invaded by some kind of virus.

Produces a special cell structure that resembles the chloroplast of a plant. Photosynthesis can be carried out, and we named him photosynthesis.

We call this virus photosynthetic virus.

Professor Yang was genetically sequenced and found that it belonged to an ancient virus, and it was inferred that it had previously been frozen in the Siberian permafrost. ”

Zhang Zhiye was surprised and said: "Animal cells can also carry out photosynthesis, this is the first time I have heard of it. I only know that there are microorganisms that can do photosynthesis. ”

Zhang Zhi then asked Li Lingqiu: "Photosynthetic virus, in addition to parasitic rabbit epidermal cells, what cells can it parasitize, so that they can embody photosynthesis." ”

Li Lingqiu said regretfully: "We used a variety of animals for experiments, including human tissue cells.

In the end, it was found that the virus only parasitized the epidermal cells of rabbits. Most viruses in the biological world, they only parasitize a certain kind of cell. ”

Zhang Zhi also has some biological knowledge, and he knows that viruses only have genetic material and protein shells.

No matter what kind of virus it is, after it invades the host cell, it will only use the energy and matter of the cell to copy its genetic material.

Uses the ribosomes of the cell to express its protein shell. In the host cell, with the addition of other cellular structures, this virus is really special.

Zhang Zhi said in amazement: "This is really amazing, it can also express photosynthesis with genetic material in the host cell." In addition to genetic material and protein shells, viruses can also express other substances, which is of great research value. ”

"Brother Zhang, I just feel entangled because of this. We seem to have found something amazing. Perhaps a subclass of viruses could be separated. Li Lingqiu said in surprise.

"It's a good thing, you walk in the door like something bad is wrong. Zhang Zhi asked puzzled.

Li Lingqiu said worriedly: "The virus is a double-edged sword, with our current technology. There is no way to fully control them.

I want to use this virus if it can parasitize our specially crafted cells. These cells have a lot of purpose and can do things that we couldn't do before.

It's just that the virus is too weird, and the virus mutates too fast. I can't guarantee its security.

In particular, we want to change its state and parasitize it into other cells. Artificially accelerates its mutation. ”

"We can't do that, we have to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Zhang Zhi also agreed with Ling Qiu's idea.

They thought about it together and came up with dozens of solutions. were all denied by the other party one by one, and each method has certain shortcomings.

Xinglan was on the side, collecting the data they said.

She interrupted their discussion and came up with an idea: "I deduce from the information you talked about, this problem can be solved perfectly by Chef Ding." ”

"Who is Chef Ding?" asked Li Lingqiu suspiciously.

"It's not Ding Ling, that research targets genes. Rated as a five-star potential, the two of us went to recruit a secondary school teacher in person. ”

Zhang Zhi looked at Li Lingqiu, and he said in a puzzled tone.

Xinglan nodded and said excitedly: "It's Ding Ling, and the employees of the company call him Chef Ding." Everyone else had fun during their breaks, and he went to the cafeteria to help. ”

Xinglan continued: "He is researching gene targeting, and he is very interested in this kind of fragmentary gene.

I infer from the nature of the virus you said that this virus can appear, in a special case. It could be that it previously devoured the genes of other species.

It's very common for you to have evolved into your genes, the genes of other species.

You can do the same as Chef Ding and extract the genes that express this photosynthesis.

In normal cells, the genes implanted in photosynthesies are much safer than viral invasions. ”

Li Lingqiu said in surprise: "Brother Zhang, Xinglan's method is very good. It solved my problem perfectly.

Even if there is a problem with the photosynthesis, it is also a cell that is damaged. If its genes are mutated and cannot be expressed normally, they become discarded genes.

It doesn't affect other creatures, so it seems safe. ”
