Tao Shengwen saw that it was already 3:00 in the morning, and most of the scientists in the laboratory had been working continuously for more than 30 hours.

He commanded loudly: "Today's key experiment has been completed, and the next work will be even more difficult."

Let's go back and rest first, and then tomorrow we will focus on the research method. ”

Scientists in the cell lab began to pause their experiments, make a backup of their experimental records, and leave the lab after tidying up.

Tao Shengwen also went home to rest, and he had not rested for more than 4 hours for several days in a row.

He didn't wake up until 8:00 on the second day, and the Ceres Life Project had made a major breakthrough, and he finally let go of the burden in his heart and could rest well.

After Tao Shengwen finished washing, he came to the company canteen and simply ate soy milk fritters, and then he went straight to Zhou Yu's office.

The next experiments on Ceres' life will require the use of expensive space fluctuation detectors.

Tao Shengwen had a hunch that this experiment would definitely not be too simple, and they would have to ask other laboratory scientists to assist.

The most important thing is that the free research funds at the disposal of cell laboratories have been basically exhausted, and there is no money to conduct experiments in the future.

This kind of high-tech biological experiment requires hundreds of thousands of biological consumables every day, plus equipment and personnel salaries, which consumes millions every day. And that's not even counting the cost of special high-end equipment.

Tao Shengwen made up his mind to spend more than 1 billion yuan in free scientific research funds.

He just lost the last scientific research competition, and he was not convinced and wanted to gamble, especially when he discovered the major characteristics of Ceres' life, which strengthened his confidence.

If no results are achieved this time, then Tao Shengwen can only carry out experiments step by step, and will not be so radical.

He also wanted to change his personality, and at that time, he was acting step by step, and he lost a little bit if he was too stable.

Tao Shengwen came to Zhou Yu's office, and it happened that Zhou Yu now had time to receive him.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the specific situation, I think this is a great discovery, if this project is successful, the problem of space agriculture that restricts us will be solved."

Tao Shengwen reported to Zhou Yu on their work during this time.

After Zhou Yu listened to Tao Shengwen's report, he stood up excitedly, laughed twice and said: "This is really unintentionally inserted into the willows, I didn't expect that the random harvest on Ceres, it would be able to achieve such a significant result."

The organelles of Ceres' life are capable of converting unknown radiation energy into biochemical energy. Provides energy for normal life activities.

If this organelle really has such an effect, then we don't need plants that rely on artificial gene bases for space farming.

The public has great concerns about genetically modified food, not to mention food whose genetic composition has been replaced.

Promoting this food and making it really recognized by the populace is a huge undertaking.

Ordinary plants can survive in space, and it is completely possible to survive in space through genetic modification.

Plants with artificial genetic material, they are more likely to express some functional proteins, which can be used as non-edible cash crops. Let them provide important industrial raw materials for the space base. ”

Zhou Yu calmed down, and immediately allocated funds to the cell laboratory led by Tao Shengwen, and raised the Ceres Life Project to the highest level.

Scientists from the major laboratories of Xinghuo Technology fully support this project.

"Don't be in a hurry to study slowly, be sure to understand all the problems and don't make mistakes. The company will definitely give you full support for this project. Zhou Yu solemnly explained.

After Tao Shengwen received Zhou Yu's assurance, he returned to the laboratory to discuss the next experimental path with the scientists.

The scientists were divided into two project groups, the organelle project and the radiation energy project group.

The organelle project team mainly obtained the DNA sequences of the peculiar organelles of Ceres' life through protein decompilation technology.

They want to completely crack the protein structure of the organelles, and the structure of the protein will not change.

This decompilation process is very difficult, and the genetic material of Ceres' life is very different from that of Earth's plants.

It is impossible for the project team to directly use the genetic sequence of Ceres' life to find the corresponding DNA sequence of the plant.

To describe simply what scientists do, one path is known, and another unknown path needs to be deduced backwards from the end.

This project has a certain degree of difficulty, but they also have traces to follow, and as long as they work hard, they will always succeed.

Compared to the organelle project group, the radiation energy project team is more difficult.

They need to constantly test various energies and rays to find the energy that can be absorbed by the organelles.

The only thing they know is that this energy is widespread in the universe and is not a very special energy.

In this way, scientists do not need to find a way to produce this energy themselves, as long as they sift through the energy in the universe one by one, they will always find the energy that causes the transformation of organelles.

Tao Shengwen and his research team have been conducting research for several weeks.

The organelle project team has successfully decompiled the DNA sequence needed for the organelle, and they have used gene editing technology to generate this organelle in plant cells.

However, the radiant energy project team is still not making progress.

Tao Shengwen frowned, he was making a trade-off.

The success of the organelle project team is now that they can use this amazing organelle, and now they need to find the energy source to provide energy for the cells.

Tao Shengwen clenched his fists, he made up his mind, and thought to himself: "Scientific research must have a beginning and an end, and now that so much has been invested, we can't give up halfway."

Going back to the roots is what a scientist should do. ”

Tao Shengwen believes that with the capabilities of their cell laboratory alone, they cannot explore this unknown energy source.

He immediately asked for the help of other laboratories, and the work of finding this energy source was the best in physics-related laboratories.

Yu Zhenfeng, Li Qihua and other authoritative experts in physics, they began to intervene in the experiment to find this unknown energy source.

The role of experts is experienced here, and scientists such as Yu Zhenfeng and Li Qihua have comprehensively changed Tao Shengwen's experimental methods.

They don't just use space wave detectors to capture traces of surrounding energy and particles.

They also came up with a special device that generates a force field that shields the specified energy.

Through this method, scientists have greatly improved the progress of experiments.

The scientists took turns experimenting, and time passed slowly.

Yu Zhenfeng looked at the data on the instrument, and he asked puzzledly: "We have shielded all the known energies one by one, and we haven't found the energy you need."

Tao Shengwen said in shock: "This is impossible, the life of Ceres can still survive normally, you have not blocked the target energy."

Li Qihua speculated: "Is this a special kind of dark energy?"
