"Boss, we've extracted the complete Brontosaurus DNA from the dinosaur blood and muscle tissue you brought back!"

After returning from Russia, Lu Yang handed over his harvest to Professor Alfred, while he himself was busy with the company's affairs. Half a month after the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, Professor Alfred brought him good news, the frozen brontosaurus corpse can really provide complete DNA!

Although he had expected it before, when he really heard the news, Lu Yang couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised!

"Well done, Doctor, it looks like the dinosaurs are about to be brought back to us from time immemorial!" Lu Yang said excitedly.

"It's not that simple, boss." Professor Alfred poured cold water on him, "DNA is essentially just a chemical molecule containing genetic information, and even if it is introduced into a receptor, such as a nucleated cell, it is difficult to ensure the correct expression of the tens of thousands of genes contained on it, because DNA must first be packaged into chromosomes, and chromosomes must have a series of positive and negative regulators to regulate the expression of genes on it." ”

"Professor, I understand what you mean by this, that the existing cloning technologies, including nuclear transfer and stem cell technology, are all operated at the cellular level, that is, there must be viable cells first. Until now, humans have not been able to package the DNA of purified higher organisms into functional chromosomes and nuclei. However, we can find suitable breeding receptors to inject the complete genes of dinosaurs into the biological grafting! ”

"Boss, I appreciate your idea, but the possibility of implementation is too small, and the technical difficulties faced are not lower than the previous plan." Professor Alfred said unceremoniously.

"I don't think so, maybe we can analyze the genetic genealogy of the dinosaurs first, and then analyze the genes of their relatives, although more than 65 million years have passed, there are traces of biological evolution......

"Wait, boss, I want to make sure, do you really know what you're talking about? Oh my God, analyzing the dinosaur genes, I can still accept it, but the relatives of the dinosaurs ...... God knows how many relatives they left on earth! Professor Alfred exclaimed.

"It's okay, we can do it." Lu Yang comforted the other party.

The other party was silent for a moment: "Okay, to be honest, such a huge project, I'm afraid I can't complete it in my lifetime." If you're willing to invest for the long term, there's always a generation that will see results. ”

Lu Yang smiled indifferently at Professor Alfred's sarcasm, because the other party didn't know that with the computing power that Penglai Island possessed, it was not difficult to decipher the genes of those animals.

"Don't be so pessimistic, Professor, maybe tomorrow my expedition will bring back a living dinosaur from the islands of Southeast Asia or the pristine forests of the Amazon!" Lu Yang said.

"Boss, I'd rather believe that tomorrow you will take humans to settle on Mars!"

"This stubborn old man ......," Lu Yang said with a wry smile as he hung up the phone.

Although Lu Yang now wants to return to the laboratory to start his research on dinosaurs, he has more important things to do at hand, so he has to put the dinosaur matter on hold.

The Russian side sent a delegation headed by Prime Minister Medev in order to implement the cooperation plan reached between Lu Yang and Phutin. The work of accompanying the delegation was handed over to Yu Hao and Su Yan, and because of the cooperation involved, the two were able to call the shots. However, in order to repay Russia's previous courtesy, Lu Yang personally received the delegation and held talks with Megev.

After the welcome banquet that night, Lu Yang, Yu Hao, and Su Yan had a small meeting.

"Boss, the Russian side is efficient enough." Yu Hao said, "Their appetite is also big enough, in addition to aerospace technology, Lao Maozi values a lot of things about us!" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's important, as long as they can afford it." Lu Yang didn't care.

Su Yan said with a smile: "They must not be able to afford it, otherwise they will cooperate with us to develop Siberian resources?" ”

"Hmph, I don't want to think of this, how much territory Russia grabbed from China back then. Unfortunately, this people have too much desire for land, and it is too difficult to get land from them unless they are threatened with national destruction. Lu Yang said regretfully.

"Boss, I don't think you need to keep an eye on Siberia, it's not a good place to be. If you want to increase your land, isn't it possible to create land in the ocean? Su Yan asked incomprehensibly.

"The territorial question will not be discussed for now, boss, how shall we respond to the request for cooperation of the Russians?" Yu Hao interjected.

"Since they want to cooperate, let's say yes." Lu Yang thought about it, "Now is a good opportunity. The Russians are in such a hurry, definitely not because of their efficiency, but because the situation is urgent! In the last three years, Russia's military spending has risen dramatically, while fiscal revenues have stagnated, deficits have grown, and the life of the Tsar has become more and more difficult. At this time, they ask us for help, don't they just send them to the door to be slaughtered? ”

"Having said that, how do you do that?" Yu Hao and Su Yan asked at the same time.

"In this way, technical cooperation should be cautious, focusing on mineral investment, Siberia is very rich in mineral resources, but it has not yet been developed. We can all cooperate in the fields of telecommunications, electric power, aerospace, automobiles, equipment manufacturing, and shipbuilding, but Russia must open up their markets. Lu Yang said.

"I think what Mejeff means is that Russia wants us to invest in ......," Yu Hao said.

Lu Yang said: "Now they are begging us, and the way of cooperation is determined by us." At present, if nothing else, we should first determine space cooperation and mineral development. Su Yan, you inform Chu Lei and let him participate in this negotiation. ”

Chu Lei is the head of Penglai Mining Company.

"Okay."

Lu Yang said: "We don't have any resources on Penglai Island, and a considerable part of Huaxia's resources rely on imports. In recent years, because of the consumption of Penglai Island, the international steel price has risen a lot, cheaper Kangaroo country, Brazil and Western mining companies. In the next step, the group should increase investment in mineral exploration to ensure our own supply and join the international competition! ”

"But boss, big iron mines are not easy to find now...... Su Yan said.

Lu Yang smiled: "I understand this, and the easy ones have been found, but there are some places where humans rarely set foot in them, such as Siberia!" ”

"Boss, are you so sure that Siberia will be able to find a big iron mine?" Yu Hao was suspicious.

"Hehe, don't you believe me? I bet you that Siberia has more iron ore than you can imagine! Lu Yang smiled mysteriously.

Lu Yang did not say anything, he discovered three super-large iron ore mines in Siberia through neutrino detection satellites, of which the largest iron ore mine has iron ore reserves of 2.1 billion tons, exceeding the iron ore reserves of China's Maanshan mining area by 30%! The other two iron ore mines are slightly smaller, but the reserves are also around 15 tons.

In fact, it has been a long time since Lu Yang discovered these two iron mines, but he was not willing to invest money in minerals before. This is not because minerals are not profitable, but because it does not make money from other industries in Luyang.

Lu Yang knows the distribution of iron ore in other parts of the world, but even with such conditions, Lu Yang has no intention of becoming a mine owner. The technology of this industry is too low, and too much investment will consume Lu Yang's energy. To put it simply, Lu Yang doesn't look down on this kind of low-tech work.

"Even if there is an iron mine there, it is not easy to develop it, the icy and snowy environment of Siberia ......" Thinking of the ice and snow in Siberia, Yu Hao couldn't help but shudder.

"Old Yu, it's difficult for others, but it's easy for us, you forget, we have engineering robots!" Lu Yang said with a smile.

Su Yan said: "Yes, engineering robots can even adapt to the environment on the moon, let alone Siberia." No matter how cold it is in Siberia, can it be colder than at night on the moon? ”

Yu Hao listened and smiled bitterly: "I did ignore this. ”

"Okay, this matter is settled, let Chu Lei handle it." Lu Yang confirmed.

"This is a good thing, now that the international steel price is on the rise, we have our own iron ore area, so we don't have to be coerced by international mining companies!" Yu Hao clapped his hands.

Lu Yang said: "Old Yu, you don't have to take this matter too seriously, to be honest, the resource of steel will soon be surplus." ”

"Impossible, right?" Yu Hao's eyes widened, "We have investigated, the global economy is currently recovering, and the demand for steel will continue to rise, how can there be a surplus?" ”

"You also said that this is only the situation on Earth." Lu Yang Road.

Su Yan thought for a while and said, "Boss, you mean to develop iron ore resources in space?" ”

Lu Yang said: "That's pretty much what it means. ”

"It's not cost-effective, you think, transporting steel from the moon to the earth, even if you build a large aerospace plane, you will only lose money." Yu Hao hesitated for a moment and said.

"It's not iron ore for the development of the moon." Lu Yang explained, "Instead, use the iron ore resources in space. Let's put it this way, how many asteroids are there in space near the Earth? And some asteroids are made entirely of iron ore. Suppose there is such an asteroid with a diameter of 2,000 meters, which is equivalent to 330.1 billion tons of iron ore if you simply calculate it! ”

"This ......" Yu Hao was a little confused.

"How much iron ore is there in the world? According to the latest data, no more than 220 billion tons, which is not as good as this asteroid. Moreover, in terms of taste, the iron ore on the asteroid is definitely much higher than the earth's mineral deposits. Lu Yang said to himself.

"In this way, iron ore will really become worthless in the future." Yu Hao thought for a long time and said with a long sigh. (To be continued.) )
