Chapter 57: Genetic Enhancement
Father Jin walked in and saw so many of them surrounding there, Jin Yuan said, "What are you doing with so many people there?" ”
When he got closer and saw that they were surrounded by a pot of grass, Jin Yuan said curiously: "What's so beautiful about this grass?" This is Xiao Linglong, right? Come, grandpa will give you something to eat. ”
Saying that, Jin Yuan picked up Hou Linglong, walked to the side, picked a tangerine the size of an egg from an orange tree, and handed it to Hou Linglong.
Hou Linglong looked at Qian Mingxiu, they educated Hou Linglong very well, without the consent of her parents, Hou Linglong would not accept the fruit given by outsiders.
Qian Mingxiu looked at Hou Zhong, she wanted to ask him, can you eat the oranges here?
After all, this is a laboratory, and everything in the laboratory is not very reassuring.
How smart is Hou Zhong?
Naturally, he knew what his sister-in-law meant, so he was not embarrassed, and asked directly: "Big boss, can you eat this thing?" ”
It was indeed an orange tree, and its parent body, which was originally an ornamental bonsai, had been optimized many times by Jinsan, and the one that was retained now was already an excellent variety more than ten generations later.
Because it was newly cultivated, there were only a dozen small oranges on this orange tree.
Jin San said: "Didn't I tell you? Everything in my laboratory is edible, non-toxic and has no side effects, and it is completely natural and pollution-free products. ”
Hou Zhong picked an orange by himself, looking at the yellow orange peel, there is no roughness of ordinary orange peel at all, the skin of this small orange is delicate, and it has a little luster, how to look at it is abnormal.
At this time, Daddy Jin said: "This orange is delicious, you don't need to peel it, just eat it directly, and I don't know that the orange tree that Jin San bought from there is really a good thing, but it bears a little less." ”
"Is this orange peel really delicious? I've heard that there is a kind of tangerine in the south that can be eaten with the skin, is it this little mandarin? ”
From the appearance, tangerines are not much different from ordinary oranges, but they are smaller, and this kind of orange can be eaten with the skin.
Hou Linglong didn't have many scruples, and stuffed the whole orange into her mouth in a short time.
Seeing that the little nephew ate it, Hou Zhong also picked one unceremoniously, tasted it, it was indeed not unpalatable, even the skin to eat, this meat is very sweet, but with the skin with a clear fragrance of orange peel.
Hou Zhong said while eating: "It is very fragrant and delicious to eat with skin. ”
Hou Peng also picked one, he was not greedy, but wanted to try, if this thing can be cultivated in a large area, it can also be used as an economic growth point.
Only Qian Mingxiu said thoughtfully: "Jin San, this orange tree has also evolved?" ”
"This is the result of later research, the most advanced are tomatoes and watermelons, and this orange is just an experiment, but the results are okay."
"Orange is born in Huainan for orange, born in Huaibei for orange", this is the need for mutation, when the species evolves, sometimes there will be mutation, and mutation improves the diversity of the species.
Orange is born in Huainan for orange, and Huaibei is orange, good species can only survive in their own environment, and the impact of the natural environment on the species is determined.
Ecological environment conditions, that is, the geography, climate, water quality, soil, and biological chain of species formation, are the premise and key to the formation of species, and all things are products of the environment, and the quality of the ecological environment is different, and species will naturally be different.
For example, ginseng has the best climatic quality: the altitude of planting is 700-800 meters, the annual precipitation is 700-800mm, the relative humidity of the air is 70%, the temperature of the hottest month is 20-21oC, and the frost-free period is more than 155 days.
In the cultivation of medicinal plants, with the changes of natural conditions and the introduction of seeds in other places, domestication and domestication, especially the extensive use of new technologies and new methods, the original ecological conditions of traditional Chinese medicine varieties have been greatly changed, resulting in "although the thing is not fake, the species is different, and the surname of the medicine is different".
The normal growth and development of different medicinal herbs, as well as the accumulation of living medicinal ingredients, require different ecological qualities, some like yin, some like yang, some like water, some are drought tolerant, etc.
Therefore, only in a specific ecological quality environment can it be possible to produce Chinese herbal medicines with unchanged medicinal surnames and medicinal effects, and leaving this environment will inevitably lead to changes in the medicinal surnames and medicinal effects of Chinese herbal medicines, and even stunted growth and development and even death.
For example, ginseng, the best quality in Ji Province, Panax notoginseng, and the best in Yunnan Province, is the reason.
Jin San cultivated plants in different growing environments in the greenhouse, and naturally could not get the desired effect, so he could only continue to strengthen the genetic structure of oranges to adapt to the northern climate, and only in this way could orange trees produce delicious citrus under the northern climate conditions.
"It's hard to do that?" Hou Peng asked his wife.
However, Qian Mingxiu ignored Hou Peng, only she knew that even in the first-class research institutes in China, few researchers could do it, and such strength was enough to enter the Academy of Sciences.
"You're working on these results here?" Qian Mingxiu really couldn't believe it, but she also knew that even if she wanted to fake these things, there was nowhere to get them, and the facts were in front of her, so she couldn't believe it.
"This is my research room, and most of the things here were bought by Hou Zhong for me." Jin Sandao.
Looking at the furnishings in the greenhouse, why didn't it connect with the high-tech laboratory in my mind, is there a more humble research room in the world?
Test tubes, beakers, and needles are the most basic instruments, but there are some, and the slightly more sophisticated instruments are only an electron microscope.
The biology lab in the primary school is also more equipped and advanced than here.
If such a humble research room can study this delicious citrus in its mouth, what are the major research laboratories in China doing every day?
Hou Peng said: "After the evolution of this orange, can it adapt to the climate of the north?" ”
"It's not good now, but greenhouse cultivation can, the north is not only cold, soil quality is also an important condition to limit the taste of citrus, the tree I cultivated does not have high requirements for soil quality, but if you want to make it cold-resistant, it is not possible to do it in a short time, unless it is done through genetically modified organisms, but the food cultivated in this way cannot guarantee safety." Jin Sandao.
Hou Peng said disappointedly: "That can't be promoted on a large scale!" ”
Qian Mingxiu said: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, the value of this technology is very high, so high that you can't imagine it, now it's not the problem of this orange tree, but all the plants here can evolve, and Jin San also said just now, sheep can also evolve slowly if they eat pasture, what if people eat it?" ”
Jin San glanced at Qian Mingxiu appreciatively, although Hou Peng was a well-known talent in their village, it was obvious that he was blinded by some worldly ideas, but he didn't see it as clearly as Qian Mingxiu.
Jin San looked at Hou Linglong and said: "Our family's children's system is very good, and there are few children who are as bad as Xiao Linglong's health, which is not good." ”
Hou Linglong was in Jin Yuan's arms, and Jin Yuan heard: "He has a poor system? Why didn't I see it? ”
Of course, Jin San would not say that he could observe Hou Linglong's internal situation through his spiritual power.
Today's children are very badly harmed by some antibiotics, and a large number of drug residues have affected many of the child's gene chains.
It may not be visible for a while, but as long as it is affected by the external environment, it is likely to cause genetic lesions and form irreversible diseases.
"The most obvious is poor immunity, it is easy to get sick, it is not easy to get well when you are sick, and the body absorbs nutrients weakly, so the growth is too slow." Jin Sandao.
Qian Mingxiu said: "Linglong's body is not slow, at least he is not short in his age." ”
"You can't use this as a standard to measure a person's growth and development, he has sufficient nutrition, balanced food intake, if the body functions normally, the body will not be what it is now, of course, ordinary people are like pastures, laboratory cultivation and external natural stocking are different, so if you don't change Xiao Linglong's current external environment, he will not have problems, or grow normally, but in the growth process, the external environment is slightly affected, he is very likely to get sick."
"Your research topic is to make plants adapt to the external environment and enhance their resistance to the harsh environment outside, right?"
At this time, Hou Peng finally heard what he wanted to hear, so he interjected again: "Can these grasses improve human body functions? ”
Qian Mingxiu said: "To put it bluntly, it can make the human body also show an evolutionary state, right?" ”
"Yes, that's what I'm ultimately aiming for." Jin Sandao.
"How far have you studied?"
"I didn't expect the second sister-in-law to be interested in this? I forced Hou Zhong to force him to not want to understand, and let him help for a few days, as if he was going to pick his skin.
I already have some results, but I have researched on my own, and many places cannot be taken into account, so many experimental processes cannot be perfected and recorded, resulting in a lot of repeated research. ”
"Great master, do you understand the research of the Ruyi Divine Tree? It would be nice if it could be cultivated in large quantities. ”
Hou Zhong forced his mother last night and ate the Ruyi Divine Pill, and his mother didn't take it seriously, but when he got up this morning, he told Hou Zhong that her mother's frequent insomnia had been alleviated.
The elderly themselves have little sleep time, and if there is something in their hearts, they will be even more unable to sleep, and Hou Zhong's mother has this problem, as long as she encounters a little thing, she will have insomnia.
