Chapter 419: Space Plants

Tao Shengwen heard Li Qihua speculate that it was dark energy that provided energy for Ceres' life.

He asked very incomprehensibly, "How can it be dark energy, how can the organelles of Ceres' life absorb dark energy."

It's incredible that a primitive cell can do something that none of us humans can do with technology. ”

Li Qihua saw Tao Shengwen's very shocked expression, and he knew that this was caused by outsiders' incomprehension of dark energy.

There are no all-round scientists, most of them are good at one field, and for areas that they are not good at, these scientists have the same knowledge as ordinary people.

Li Qihua immediately explained: "Dark energy is a general term, which refers to a certain type of energy that cannot be detected by our existing technology.

This is limited by the development of our human civilization, which does not conflict with the natural conditions in the universe. ”

Li Qihua saw that Tao Shengwen still had a confused expression on his face, and he gave an example: "I will give an inappropriate example, but it can vividly illustrate this problem.

It's not that we discovered gravity that the water flows down.

Rather, we infer the existence of gravity based on many phenomena such as water flowing downward. ”

After Tao Shengwen listened to Li Qihua's story, he clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "I know, it's not that dark energy represents high technology, it's that we haven't explored dark energy yet."

This kind of cell is inherently attracted to a certain kind of dark energy, and it has no causal relationship with the level of technology that discovers dark energy. ”

Yu Zhenfeng also agreed with Li Qihua's speculation, and he said in a flat tone: "Then we will prepare the experiment according to this speculation, if we can really discover some kind of dark energy, let us know more types of energy, which is also very beneficial to our work."

In the past, they were asked to find a way to capture some kind of dark energy, and they simply didn't have the confidence to design an experiment.

If there had been this level, they would have long since devised experiments to capture dark energy.

But now the situation is completely different, there is a cell that is pulling dark energy.

This enriches the dark energy in the surrounding airspace, and scientists such as Yu Zhenfeng and Li Qihua are confident that they can capture it.

Experiments failed time and time again, but none of them dampened the confidence of scientists.

Li Qihua was more confident than ever, and he could feel that this was the closest contact he had ever had with dark energy.

They are confident and constantly adjust the experimental protocol.

The hard work does not pay off, and the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, and a solar wind blows the earth, setting off a tide of energy near the earth.

The Space Wave Detector found that some of the surrounding energies were several times more active than before.

Li Qihua stared at the data detected by the instrument, and he found that there was an abnormality compared to the usual data.

Scientists have dug deeper into this anomaly, and they have finally detected a previously undetected energy fluctuation.

The dark energy that fuels life on Ceres has finally been found by scientists.

Tao Shengwen saw that this energy was found, and he said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, I don't know how long my project would have dragged on."

Li Qihua said politely: "After this experiment, we have also gained a lot, and now we have discovered a dark energy, which can make our laboratory focus on the next step."

What's more, we have found a way to discover dark energy, and this experience cannot be exchanged, which is the key for us to master more dark energy. ”

Tao Shengwen said goodbye to the physical scientists who came to help, and the next time was when he played his profession.

The DNA sequence of the organelles has been identified, and the energy that provides energy for the organelles has also been found.

Tao Shengwen's next work is to transplant this organelle into the cells of ordinary plants and create space plants that can survive in the universe.

The Cell Lab is starting to get busy, and they're using genetic technology to make space plants.

Tao Shengwen watched the results of their efforts during this time.

They made many plants that contained Ceres' life organelles.

The staple food plants are corn and sorghum.

Vegetable plants include cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, green beans, etc.

Tao Shengwen found through experiments that transplanting organelles to ordinary plants can indeed convert the biochemical energy needed by dark energy to generate cells.

It's just that the energy produced by this organelle is so large that some weak plants can't bear it.

The plants that were successful in these experiments all had relatively sturdy stems, or vines that could climb on objects.

Tao Shengwen is very happy that their laboratory has successfully produced space plants, which is a major breakthrough.

Next, it is only necessary to screen the space plants, and select the space plants that are easy to grow and have a large yield, and more importantly, can adapt to the cosmic environment.

Their project was a great success, and the limitations of space agriculture were directly broken by them.

Tao Shengwen was observing space plants, and the scientist in charge of space plant cultivation immediately reported to him.

"Director Tao, after the past few days of data collection, we have summarized the conditions required for the growth of space plants.

Space plants do not need to photosynthesize, they do not need oxygen and carbon dioxide to live in an environment where there is no atmosphere.

Dark energy is widely distributed in the universe, and we don't need to be specifically planted in space plants.

The organelles of space plants can convert methane and water into various amino acids and organic matter needed for their lives.

However, this transformation process requires a huge amount of energy, which affects the normal growth of space plants, especially the development of space plants at the seedling stage.

We specially equip space plants with a nutrient solution rich in organic matter, which can promote the rapid growth of space plants at the seedling stage.

Once the space plant matures, it does not need this special fertilizer, which can absorb dark energy and synthesize the polymer compounds needed for plant growth through methane and water. ”

Tao Shengwen looked at the growth environment of space plants summarized by scientists, and he said happily: "Great, space plants can be planted in the universe, as long as a certain amount of basal fertilizer is guaranteed, there is methane and water it can survive."

Space plants can absorb more energy, and with abundant energy reserves, they can synthesize more organic matter.

In this way, the yield of staple crops and vegetables has increased to a certain extent.

Space plants are also very easy to care for, there are no other creatures in space, and they have no natural predators. It is very much in line with the requirements of space agriculture. ”

Tao Shengwen was very happy when he saw the data of space plants, and the project was finally successful.

He has pressed Wang Xiaoxiao in Wang Xiaoxiao's professional field, and now he can walk around the laboratory with his eyebrows raised.

With only the achievement of space plants, he Tao Shengwen can go down in history with this achievement.

Tao Shengwen was fantasizing when his assistant trotted towards him with an anxious face.

"Director, something has happened, something has happened."
