Chapter 17 Ideas for Bioengineering (1)

Zhang Wenkai, who returned to the real room, didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so he hurriedly took out the turfgrass samples in the box, and after some means, put them under an electron microscope to observe, and compared them with ordinary turfgrass.

But he found that there was no fundamental difference between turfgrass that had been used with plant nutrient solution and turfgrass that had not been used, and it could be said that the two were still the same.

This makes Zhang Wenkai puzzled, obviously there is a big gap in the appearance of plants, why has there been no fundamental change in its internal structure?

His eyes stared at the two plants in front of him, and they looked like they were already two plants, but why were they all the same, Zhang Wenkai was very entangled now, not about the results obtained, but about his lack of knowledge.

"I knew I would have studied bioengineering." Apparently his complaints did not serve any purpose.

So Zhang Wenkai carefully observed the two samples under the electron microscope again, hoping to find out the difference between the two and know what the problem was.

But looking at it, he still didn't find any difference, Zhang Wenkai grabbed his hair, very annoyed.

"Sir, I feel something is wrong with your direction." In Cortana's projection, she wore a pink skirt and floated in front of Zhang Wenkai and said.

"Something wrong with the direction?" Zhang Wenkai, who was observing the microscope, raised his head and frowned, Xiao Na's words made him very puzzled.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your purpose in planting these lawns?" Xiao Na sat on the electron microscope and patiently began to guide Zhang Wenkai. "Of course, it's for desert greening." Zhang Wenkai told the truth, which was also what he thought in his heart.

When Xiao Na heard Zhang Wenkai's words, she gently hooked the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "That's easy." "I look confident.

"Greening is to do greening work, but what my husband is doing now is not greening work." Xiao Na directly pointed out the fundamental problem and denied Zhang Wenkai's behavior.

"Outside of work?" Zhang Wenkai muttered to himself a little naturally.

"Greening was originally a matter of municipal engineering, while Mr. was doing a matter of biological engineering." Cortana pointed out the crux of the matter.

Zhang Wenkai was stunned, and then his eyes lit up.

"That's right! I didn't think of it. On his wry face, you can see how annoyed he is, obviously he has committed a complicated way of dealing with simple things, to put it bluntly, it is a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

In fact, it can't be said that it is a 'mosquito', at least, Zhang Wenkai still has some ideas of his own, and he hopes to turn this 'mosquito' into a super mosquito.

"Cortana, I want to complete the transformation of the desert as quickly as possible, is there any good way to do it in bioengineering." I can't continue to study like this on my own, and I still can't do it alone, and there are certain limitations.

Cortana has so much advanced technology that she needs to put it to good use.

Thinking of this, his previous chagrin and confusion all disappeared, got up and poured himself a glass of warm water in front of the water dispenser, sat down in a chair, and drank it slowly.

"Topical drugs on plants are only adjuncts, and the plants themselves are the real starting point." Cortana floated to the box containing the sample and pointed to the plants inside.

"Plants?" Zhang Wenkai waited with interest for Xiao Na's next words.

He had also realized how immature his previous ideas were, and it seemed that it was difficult to succeed on a whim, and that he needed a rigorous and careful plan.

If you follow your previous thoughts, you have completely entered a dead end.

The desert is dry and short of water, and I also figured out that guò adds nutrients to plants to promote the rapid growth of plants, such a thing is completely contrary to the laws of nature in the desert, there is no water and light to grow materials, and the plants still cannot survive, how can this be achieved?

Zhang Wenkai shook himself secretly, a little self-deprecating.

"Does the sir know about tardigrades?" Cortana told Zhang Wenkai about a creature on Earth.

What? Water bears? I know the caterpillar, Zhang Wenkai's eyes darkened, obviously he didn't know.

After Xiao Na asked this sentence, even she regretted it a little, she realized that even if she asked, it was in vain, with Zhang Wenkai's IQ, Xiao Na could only hehe, and instantly looked at Zhang Wenkai's eyes with a trace of disdain, not thick Then Xiao Na's expression became serious, only to hear her say:

"It's called a DNA thief, and 18 percent of the genome of this tardigrade is made up of stealing DNA from other creatures in the animal kingdom, and its genetic material is a mix of matches, not all inherited by ancestors."

Zhang Wenkai likes Xiao Na's serious appearance, Lori's body, but the expression on her face is stern, there is a visual contrast, which stimulates Zhang Wenkai's dying otaku heart.

However, after listening to Xiao Na's words, Zhang Wenkai frowned, and called up the details of the tardigrades through the guò hologram.

Fortunately, he had already taught himself some knowledge of bioengineering before, and he also had some understanding of some animals and plants, but even so, when he saw the tardigrade for the first time, he still felt a shiver on his body, as if there were ants crawling on his body.

Even if his body suddenly itched, he thought it was some bug.

"The world of living things is just a little scary."

After reading the detailed information, Zhang Wenkai nodded, it is indeed like Xiao Na said, the foreign genes of water bears are all taken from plants, bacteria, fungi and archaea.

Even the exogenous genes can replace some of the genes of the tardigrades, which is very perverted, the appearance has not changed, and the internal genes have all been changed.

The more he learned, the more Zhang Wenkai shuddered, if this creature was as big as an elephant, I don't know what the result would be, would it eat people? And then appropriation of human genes.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and if he thought about it again, he could basically write a novel.

This information also points out that humans also have exogenous genes, of which 8% of human exogenous genes are obtained through the guò virus.

The genes of these viruses are hidden in the genes of humans, and there are already 19 unknown DNA fragments in the genes of humans, which may be ancient viruses or the DNA remnants of ancestors.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenkai shook his body, this is like computer code, normally speaking, useless code will not be programmed into it, because that useless code will bring huge expenses and maintenance troubles, so it is necessary to clean up useless code regularly.

And human genes are like code, so useless genes are like useless code, the question is, there are people cleaning up useless code, so who cleans up useless genes in humans.

And what harm these useless genes are to the human body, no one knows.

At the same time, Zhang Wenkai thought of another problem: the information that can be published on the Internet must be the simplest information, and it is impossible to be detailed, and genetic engineering must be kept secret in a certain way, just like a confidential text.

Thinking of this, he, who is not a student majoring in bioengineering, shivered all over his body.

He felt as if he had unraveled some kind of mystery. (To be continued.) )
