Chapter 480: Moonlight Pig

Li Hao looked at the food area of the plant factory, there were grains and vegetables, and the diet was basically balanced. He's happy with this.

He also looked at the non-plant areas, where the main plants were melons and large-leaved flowers.

They provide a steady stream of water and high-quality oxygen for the lunar base.

Li Hao saw patches of planted green pasture plants.

He wondered how there could be pasture plants planted here. The lunar base will not raise cattle.

This time, he didn't ask Du Xianyu directly, but clicked on it to check the specific situation of this plant.

This pasture grass is a five-leaf clover, which is a pasture grass that alfalfa has genetically modified to survive on the moon.

This forage is high in starch and protein, and it can replenish all the nutrients for animals.

Li Hao vaguely remembered that the domestic animal transported to the moon was a pig. It's just that he has the impression that pigs don't seem to eat grass.

Li Hao didn't quite understand the purpose of planting grass on the moon base. By looking at the information of the lunar base, I could not find the reason for planting pasture.

"Director Du, I remember that the domestic animals that the moon base is going to raise are pigs.

I saw a lot of grass planting on the lunar base.

Does a pig also eat pasture? I remember pigs not eating grass. Li Hao asked with interest.

Du Xianyu calmly introduced: "Pigs are omnivores, even ordinary pigs eat grass.

I remember when I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and every family in a small mountain village raised pigs. I also went to hunt pigweed after school.

This pig does not like to grow fat, but its taste is much sweeter than the pork that is now industrially raised.

Our five-leaf clover is different from ordinary grass.

The trace element content in its leaves has been specially adjusted, which is very in line with the taste of moonshine pigs.

Our pig is a moonshine pig, which is the product of genetic engineering. It's completely different from a normal pig.

Its digestive system is already fully capable of absorbing the nutrients in the pasture.

The meat becomes very tasty and can be quickly absorbed by the body.

The meat does not produce any toxins in the human body, reducing the burden on the liver and kidneys. ”

After Du Xianyu finished speaking, he used a virtual light curtain to show the situation of the moonlight pig.

This is a pig that is 1.5 times larger than the average domestic pig.

It feels silly and naΓ―ve, and the most attractive thing is the two ears with big fans.

Its fur is shiny, hollow and shiny, and appears white in the sun.

It appears pale gray in moonlight or low light, and also reflects fluorescence outward.

It is because of this pig coat color that different results are displayed under different optical conditions. It got the name Moonshine Pig.

It can be seen from the virtual light curtain next to the moonlight pig data, the double helix gene structure and chromosomal model.

Moonshine pigs are diploid of ordinary domestic pigs, and their genetic sequences, especially the fleshy part, are mostly the same as those of ordinary families.

There is a lot of variation at the genetic level, but the overall appearance of the pig has not changed much.

Li Hao saw a strange phenomenon, and he asked Du Xianyu suspiciously, "Director Du, what's going on with the moonlight pig?"

I saw from its chromosomal model how there were only sows and no boars.

In this way, how does the population of moonshine pigs reproduce? ”

Mr. Li observed in detail. Moonshine pigs do have only sows and no boars.

It is propagated by cloning, and after the embryos are made, they are transferred to the sow to grow.

In nature, male and female reproduction is to maintain the good genetic characteristics of the species and the optimal arrangement and combination of genes.

Let them better adapt to the environment and survive nature's cruel natural selection.

As a domestic animal, our moonshine pig does not need genetic diversity and can be passed on according to the original genetic template. Director Du Xianyu explained simply.

He remembered another aspect and continued: "Another feature of choosing moonshine pig parthenogenetic clonal breeding is related to the lunar environment.

The radiation situation of the moon has always been one of the biggest problems in lunar farming.

Unlike animals, plants, plant cell walls can ensure that cells are a little tougher and can be transferred to cells.

Animal cells can't be actively transferred, so we thought of a good solution.

It is a channel that simulates the nutrient delivery of moonshine pigs during pregnancy. The irradiated cells are delivered directly into the uterus of the moonshine pig.

Through this guidance, the infected cells can be induced. Let him move to the designated place on his own.

Finally, the cells contaminated by radiation can be detoxified through the menstrual period of the moonshine pig, which can remove most of the toxins.

The remaining faint toxins, through the liver and kidney detoxification system of the moonshine pig, can directly accumulate all the harmful cells to the liver and kidney.

In this way, the edible part of the moonshine pig no longer contains harmful impurities.

When the liver and kidneys of the moonshine pig are no longer able to accumulate toxic substances, there is a little bit of toxic substances in the flesh and blood.

Its cellular lysosomes work immediately to dissolve all the cells.

These characteristics of the moonshine pig determine the safety of its meat. ”

Li Hao heard Director Du Xianyu's explanation, and he was very satisfied.

Moonshine pig, this multi-level insurance measure, is more reassuring to eat.

He could also deduce it based on the information just now. The taste of moonshine pig must not be too bad, and it will definitely turn into a delicacy.

"Your approach is very good, even on Earth, food safety has not reached this level of safety.

Take the pig industry as an example, now both free-range farmers and factories are intensively raised. Farmers usually feed pigs a lot of antibiotics.

Some black-hearted farmers also use human medicine for pigs. It causes people to have a lot of adverse reactions after consumption.

The liver and kidneys of pigs accumulate the most toxins in the organs.

I usually eat pigs, if I am not sure of the origin of the pigs. Pig offal, especially liver and kidneys, will not be eaten. Li Hao praised.

"Mr. Li, you are really right, after we made the moonshine pig. It is not known if it satisfies the taste of the masses.

After obtaining the safety test from the relevant state departments, our company directly provides moonshine pigs to the society.

Its delicate taste and good safety directly open the market.

The enterprise that contracted the production of moonshine pigs abroad, he gave this meat a few very nice names, called Wufu meat. Du Xianyu said confidently.

"I didn't expect that the Wufu meat I often eat turned out to be the moonshine pig produced by you.

Now look at the taste of moonshine pig is really good. ”

Li Hao said in surprise, he felt that this world was very strange.

He didn't expect that the moonshine pig had already begun to be put into the market.

Li Hao thought of the price at which he bought moonshine pork, and asked Du Xianyu directly.

"The market price of moonshine pigs is basically the same as that of ordinary pigs. Its biggest cost is that the pig is exposed to cosmic radiation and dies suddenly and unexpectedly.

But this kind of thing is very rare, and large-scale breeding can still reduce the price of moonshine pigs to a slightly more expensive price than before. Director Du Xianyu said in detail.
