1481.The Temptation of Power (part 1 of 5)
There are plants such as cyanobacteria and blue-green algae in the ice world of Antarctica, the largest of which are blue-green algae, also known as ice and snow algae.
They have a very high utilization rate of sunlight, when there is sunlight, it turns green, when it is dark, it turns blue-green, and depends on this transformation, absorbing different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and survival.
They can also change colors, and during the polar day in Antarctica, the algae slowly evolve into green, red, pink and brown, which is one of the only vivid colors in the black and white world of the polar regions.
This paper has carried out a detailed investigation and research on ice and snow algae, and it is believed that they have the ability to enter the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean to survive, and can play an important role in improving the vegetation environment of the North Ocean.
As we all know, half of the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans have temperatures below five degrees Celsius a year, which is not a good temperature for seaweed that needs to be photosynthesized.
If a fishing ground wants to enter a high-speed development, it needs a large amount of seaweed to provide energy to marine life, for details, see Daqin Fishery, Qin Shiou is now injecting the most Seagod energy into the seaweed in the fishery.
However, due to the rapid expansion of the Daqin seafood chain, the fishery needs to produce more and more catches, and the fish need to grow faster and faster, so naturally more seaweed is needed.
But unfortunately, the seaweed supply capacity of the fishery is close to the limit, because there is a limit to their reproduction ability and growth rate, and the Poseidon energy can allow them to get close to this limit, but not beyond the limit.
Hippos can grow very large, as long as they are given the ideal living environment. They can be up to 40% larger than they are in their natural state, but the living environment is ideal. They also don't grow as big as mammoths, and that's the species limit.
Ice and snow algae can change this limit. The growth limit of seaweed boils down to the use of sunlight, and spring and winter are the slowest times for seaweed to grow, and ice and snow algae do not have this problem.
This seaweed can grow and grow, they live on the water and nutrients in the ice sea, photosynthesize with the help of sunlight, it has the ability to adapt to the weak light of ice and snow, sometimes changes its color, and has a very awesome ability to change the temperature of the surrounding environment.
In addition, according to this material presentation. Ice algae are highly adapted to the salinity, temperature and oxygen content of the North Atlantic, and when they enter, they can increase the amount of marine seaweed and provide more food for marine life.
Qin Shiou looked at the information and became strange, and said, "There is such a good thing, why haven't I heard of it?" Why has the Ministry of Fisheries not introduced it for a long time? ”
Tia said calmly: "Because the survival of ice and snow algae has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot adapt to a highly polluted environment. ”
This is not surprising, many creatures in the polar regions have this problem, they have lived in pure waters for generations, and evolution is only based on temperature and nutrients. Resistance to contamination is not written into their genes because they haven't suffered from this problem.
For example, Arctic cod.
Tiya explained to Qin Shiou that in fact, the introduction of ice and snow algae was raised by the US and Canadian Ministries of the Ocean in the 90s of the last century. However, it was soon found that their survival rate was greatly reduced after leaving the polar regions.
At that time, the researchers did not think about pollution, but about temperature, and the temperature of the ocean cannot be changed. And so the project was discontinued.
Qin Shiou continued to look down and understood that the final signature of this information was Professor Sanders. This is a good thing that the old man has researched.
"This is a stepping stone for me from the professor, who has already completed the relevant experiments in our fishing farm. At least we can introduce this seaweed to our fishing grounds, and our water quality is completely fine. Tia said.
Qin Shiou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, my assistant, you did give me a big gift, I have to say, you did a good job!" ”
Tia made a medieval aristocratic female curtsy, she motioned to Qin Shiou to look down and said, "I have more than one gift, the ice and snow algae originally belonged to the fishing ground, and the professor studied it for the fishing ground." The next gift is for you myself. ”
Qin Shiou turned back, and as a result, another kind of algae appeared, this algae is called 'small leaf green algae', he looked at the introduction, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "There is such a powerful seaweed?" ”
This seaweed also comes from the polar regions, but it is located at the opposite extremes of the ice algae, and its maiden home is Victoria in the Arctic Circle.
There are 4 months of polar night in Victoria every year, and there are few plant species here, and the small leafy green algae is one of them, and its great thing is that before the polar night comes, it can make full use of the daytime sunlight, carry out photosynthesis efficiently, and synthesize a large amount of organic matter, which is not only for its growth and development, but also discharges the remaining part into the body and stores it in the water environment where it lives.
In other words, this algae, like a hamster, knows how to store its own nutrients, and the waters it lives in are full of nutrients, which can be used not only by itself, but also by other kinds of aquatic vegetation, which can be called a good daddy in Arctic waters.
However, chlorophyllum algae are difficult to use for fisheries because they are freshwater algae and do not survive in seawater.
Seeing the disappointed expression on Qin Shiou's face, Tiya knew where he saw it, and smiled: "BOSS, I have to say, you are very impatient!" Moving on, this is an experimental report, the Ministry of Fisheries, in conjunction with a number of marine biological research institutions, carried out a salinization treatment on the microphylla green algae, and the experiment was successful. ”
Yes, Fisheries Canada has improved the chlorella microphylla by using genetic engineering techniques to add salt-tolerant genes to the algae's DNA, giving them the ability to live in seawater.
After reading the experimental report, Qin Shiou's heart was overjoyed, if he hadn't been married and really had the idea of pursuing Tiya, this busty college student would be the perfect assistant candidate.
But Qin Shiou had a little doubt: "Since this algae has been successfully improved, it should be widely reported, why haven't I received a little rumor?" ”
Tia smiled and helped him close the report, saying, "The research has just achieved results, and it has not yet been reported, and I also obtained this information through a senior brother who was in a high position in the experiment. ”
Qin Shiou asked, "Then did your senior brother say that when will the Ministry of Fisheries promote this algae into the fishing grounds?" ”
Tia said, "Why do we need to know this time? If we know about it, and we know that there is this algae that can make a huge difference in the fishing grounds, and that's enough, we are the Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance, and we have the right to qualify for algae in advance! ”
Qin Shiou nodded thoughtfully, and Tiya continued: "Don't underestimate your power, BOSS, from now on, you are the leader of all Canadian fishery owners!" (To be continued......)
