Zhou Yu received Wang Xiaoxiao's information, and he immediately rushed to the Spark Scientific Research Center.

Just five days after the launch of the Space Biology Laboratory, Wang Xiaoxiao and they have achieved results.

Zhou Yu felt incredulous, and the speed was too fast.

He walked quickly to Wang Xiaoxiao's office and saw Wang Xiaoxiao commenting on a plant with a number of scientists.

This plant grows strangely, it has lotus-like leaves, and the leaves hold a relatively large lotus canopy, floating on the water.

The leaves of this plant are light green with white patterns. The lotus pod is light purple in color, and its pod is much larger than the lotus canopy.

The roots and stems of the plant are not visible, it seems to have only leaves and fruits.

Zhou Yu immediately stepped forward and asked, "This plant, is it a plant that synthesizes genetic material with ZPSB base pairs?"

"That's right, this is the plant we created, it belongs to a completely artificial organism, and any gene function in its genetic material is edited by our scientists.

We have prepared 3,200 sets of plant genes.

According to the genes, the organism is synthesized by the device.

Only this plant has artificially controlled artificial base pairs to synthesize genetic material and cell matrix, and only it survived, and all other projects failed.

Through this successful project, we have locked down the genes that make up artificial base pairs and which genes are valid.

We have complete control over all the habits of this creature, unless it is genetically mutated, or it survives exactly as we designed. Wang Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

"I thought you were going to start designing creatures that were similar to bacteria or viruses, but I didn't expect you to design a plant with any characteristics of this plant." Zhou Yu stared at the plant and asked.

"Mr. Zhou, we must synthesize controllable artificial organisms, plants are higher organisms, which are composed of tens of billions of genes, even if a certain group of genes is mutated, it will not affect the entire organism.

Bacteria and viruses are completely different, the genes that make them up are shorter in length, and their genes are not folded into chromosomes, making them more prone to genetic mutations.

We don't yet know what the specific changes in biology are with this artificial base pair?

The use of microorganisms in the first case is extremely harmful. ”

After Wang Xiaoxiao introduced his choice, he asked Zhou Yu rhetorically: "Mr. Zhou, haven't you discovered the particularity of this plant?" If you look closely at the environment in which it is located, you can understand what it does. ”

When Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao say this, he knew the particularity of this plant, and he must be able to see it at a glance.

He looked intently at the plants in the video.

"It's just a little weird, and it's not too weird.

Hydroponic plants are nothing special, and there are plenty of artificial light sources in the space lab. ”

Zhou Yu stopped when he said this, and he grasped the point in a flash of inspiration.

There is no air in the space laboratory, and it takes a lot of money to arrange air and other life-sustaining systems, and there is no one in the space laboratory, all of them are intelligent robots, so the deployment of life-sustaining systems was not considered at that time.

Zhou Yu looked at the introduction next to the space laboratory, and the environment was clearly marked with the state of vacuum.

This plant is able to survive in a vacuum, and only needs to be provided with water to survive.

Zhou Yu could directly predict that this plant could absorb water, carbon dioxide and other substances in the water, and did not need to be absorbed through the air.

This plant is not important at all on Earth, which is covered by a dense atmosphere.

But if this plant is placed in the universe, then it is the decisive plant.

Most of the planets in the universe are very inhospitable, and a small number of planets have water, but they do not necessarily have an atmosphere, and even if there is an atmosphere, the composition of atmospheric matter is hardly similar to that of the earth.

This plant can survive directly in a vacuum, and it can grow and survive as long as there is water.

It is easy to build a gathering place for the development of the moon in the future, but it is difficult to build an ecological circle for the moon.

It is not technically difficult to transport water from the Earth, to build an artificial lake on the Moon.

But I want to transport the atmosphere from the Earth and build an atmosphere on the Moon.

This technique is very difficult and requires a complete transformation of the moon.

The main purpose of building the atmosphere is to form an ecosphere and cultivate flora and fauna.

Now that there are plants that do not need to depend on the atmosphere to survive, the atmosphere is not necessary for the development of the universe.

On the contrary, people are very easy to handle, wearing spacesuits on the outside and providing oxygen only to the interior of the building where they live, so as to reduce the technical difficulty by orders of magnitude.

Zhou Yu stared at this plant, with a satisfied look on his face, and said approvingly: "This plant can actually survive in a vacuum, a plant with this function, it is the best cosmic plant, if it can provide food and nutrients, it will be even better."

Wang Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "We can meet Mr. Zhou's request."

I named this plant the large-leaved electric lotus, and its canopy is sucrose, which is highly concentrated and can be eaten directly.

The leaves of the large-leaved electric lotus are rich in crude fiber, and because the cells of this artificial plant are different from common foods, it is not recommended for humans to eat this plant directly.

But leaves can be used as food for livestock, and after any cell is broken down by the digestive system, it becomes a basic component such as amino acid nucleotides.

These basic ingredients do not affect the livestock, and the meat of this animal can be used at all.

If we really start the construction of space farms, we will continue to develop this space plant, as well as the livestock that adapt to this plant. ”

When Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao's words, the smile on his face grew, and he hurriedly asked: "This plant also has photosynthesis, and can also self-synthesize sucrose, can the concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in water continue to support this plant for photosynthesis?"

Wang Xiaoxiao knocked on the table, and the screen in front of him showed the process of synthesizing sucrose from the large-leaved electric lotus.

The plant does not have chloroplasts, so it cannot photosynthesize.

But it has an electrochondria designed by scientists that can produce a photoelectric effect.

When sunlight hits the leaves of the large-leaved electric lotus, the electrochondria undergo a photoelectric reaction to produce a kind of bioelectricity.

This bioelectricity can synthesize sucrose through a series of biological reactions, through carbon dioxide and water.

This process can convert the energy in the sunlight into biological energy that can be used by the large-leaved electric lotus, and synthesize the excess energy into sucrose for storage.

"The solubility of carbon dioxide in the water is very good, and the dry ice is highly compressed, which is very easy to store.

The sensor detects the CO2 concentration in the water in real time and keeps the CO2 concentration in the water optimal.

The success of the large-leaved electrolotus has shown us the feasibility of using artificial bases to synthesize artificial life.

In the future, we will edit more complex genes according to the corresponding functions of genes and synthesize better plants. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao said excitedly that in the foreseeable future, he can already see that artificial plants will follow the footprints of human beings to spread all over the universe.
