Chapter 18 Ideas for Bioengineering (2)
With the research, the number of non-human DNA stored in human DNA has reached 36, and scientists are surprised to see the fragments.
There are even fragments that are completely viral DNA, but this DNA is not activated and is only used as useless DNA.
Zhang Wenkai closed the information, he didn't want to read it anymore, his stomach was already a little tumbling now, and he was probably going to go to the toilet after reading it.
He looked up at Cortana suspiciously, he suspected that Cortana was deliberately disgusting himself.
"Now that I understand, sir, I'll talk about transferring this function of the tardispeller to plants." Cortana said without being shocked.
Xiao Na's words, Zhang Wenkai was taken aback, because it reminded it of genetically modified technology.
Genetically modified means to implant foreign genes into the genome of plants, so that plants can become more productive, resistant to diseases and pests, and so on.
"GMO?" He asked the doubts in his mind.
Xiao Na's expression was a little tangled, first shook her head, then nodded, and said quite tangledly: "It's similar to genetically modified, but it's better than genetically modified." ”
"Half of it is a creation zào, and half of it is genetically modified." Xiao Na can only say in general, even if she explains in detail, Zhang Wenkai may not be able to understand.
"Chuang zào!" Zhang Wenkai muttered to himself, isn't creating zào something God did? Can humans really do it? He was a little skeptical.
But he soon believed it, because Cortana had already brought too much incredible, and Cortana wouldn't lie to herself.
If a plant can autonomously appropriate foreign genes, then it is not a plant, it should be considered an animal, because it already has some characteristics of an animal.
"What needs to be done." Now that Cortana has given the perfect solution, Zhang Wenkai plans to try it first.
In fact, what Xiao Na said was also used by Zhang Wenkai to choose, Xiao Na will not force Zhang Wenkai to do this and that.
After hearing Zhang Wenkai's words, Xiao Na's expression became stern, and she said, "Are you sure that Mr. wants to start bioengineering research?" ”
Her words are not untargeted, this kind of "half is a zào, half is genetically modified." "The technology has gone beyond what is acceptable to humans.
What if you used this technology on animals, then how about people!
Maybe if you don't use it well, it will have devastating consequences for humanity.
What if a person had the function of a tardispeller, using a foreign gene? Making humanity more viable?
If you think too much, the only consequence is the collapse of the gene chain, the possibility of contracting genetic diseases, the possibility of activating useless DNA, and even directly causing death.
And think about it, if you misappropriate so many foreign genes, what kind of damage will be done to the genes, which may directly cause the loss of genetic material, and may make it impossible for human beings to reproduce.
Take genetically modified plants as an example, everyone knows that it has high yield and high quality, and some of the rice, corn, and soybeans we eat are genetically modified.
But under such good conditions, why should the EU ban the circulation of genetically modified foods on the market?
Have you ever thought that many products on the market are genetically modified, and if the relevant departments advertise the various dangers of genetically modified products, who will consume most of the products in the market.
I remember that there was a type of corn that was planted in the ground with large and round grains, but after people ate it, it actually caused infertility.
The people of the American empire have studied genetically modified products, but they have used this technology in China, and some people should stop being stupid and think that the American empire is so good, others sell it to you, and you still count the money for it!
Seeing Xiao Na's solemn expression, Zhang Wenkai lowered his head and looked at the plant in the box, he had already realized the reason for Xiao Na's solemnity.
If genetic engineering is used well, it can benefit mankind, and if it is not used well, it will destroy mankind.
"Hmm!" Zhang Wenkai only said one word, but from the expression on his face, it could be seen that there was still a trace of confusion in his heart.
"Yes, sir." Xiao Na said as she showed Zhang Wenkai a schematic diagram of plant improvement through the guò holographic display.
Raising his head and opening this schematic diagram seriously, the confusion on Zhang Wenkai's face completely disappeared, and some were just solemn.
The plant given by Cortana can carry out photosynthesis, absorb nutrients for survival, and reproduce by roots, and the most terrifying thing is that they use bacteria and fungi as nutrients and the source of foreign genes intake, which is very rebellious.
But what is even more contrary to the sky is that he has the ability to repair DNA, and can independently ingest and evolve to adapt to various environments.
"Cortana, it doesn't have an IQ, right?" Zhang Wenkai couldn't help but ask, if you have intelligence, I'm afraid it's even more ferocious than animals.
Cortana shook her head with a smile and said, "Its main behavior is still based on the behavior of plants. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Wenkai was relieved.
Then, he became a little curious, the synthesis method of this plant obviously Xiao Na already had, Zhang Wenkai was curious, what was this creature for, after all, Xiao Na had spoken, and she didn't have any information about the desert there.
"As you can see, the plants synthesized in this way are used to modify the environment of the colonized planet on the home planet, and some planets with poor living conditions will use this kind of plant."
Zhang Wenkai nodded knowingly, he didn't doubt the human IQ of Xiao Na's home planet at all, after all, it was a super high-tech civilization.
But just as he was about to start studying, Cortana interrupted him.
"Sir, this plant is not edible as an edible plant, you should be aware of that." The expression is very strict.
Zhang Wenkai's face was full of doubts: "What will happen if you eat it?" ”
"The genes in it are very aggressive, and he will quickly add to the genes of human beings, and begin to steal all kinds of DNA, directly causing the destruction of genetic material."
"Neutered?"
"Yes."
If grass is used for greening, people will not eat it, and Zhang Wenkai has nothing to worry about.
"It's not okay for cattle and sheep to eat, and when people drink the milk or meat of cattle and sheep, it will also cause the same consequences." Cortana reminded again.
Xiao Na's later sentence made Zhang Wenkai thoughtful, it seems that those people in Xiao Na's home planet are not as simple as simply transforming the planetary environment, they probably want to destroy the life on the planet!
If they are all sterilized, they will not be able to reproduce the next generation, isn't it ruining their lives!
"This" Zhang Wenkai hesitated, the problem is, according to the character of the Chinese people, there is nothing to throw away, even waste oil can be made into gutter oil for you to use again.
How can the desert be full of plants without grazing.
The problem is here, Zhang Wenkai is also a little helpless, how can this be implemented? Pit! (To be continued.) )
