Li Hao glanced at the device, he shook his head and walked out of the room.

The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, he was just curious, looking at the preparation of the scientists in the biological laboratory to enter the virus laboratory.

It was found that every time they entered, they needed to go through dozens of hours of preparation, not only to coat the surface of the body with a highly effective anti-virus nano-agent. Antiviral agents are also required.

Obviously, there is only a less dangerous tobacco mosaic virus in the virus laboratory, which has no effect on people. I don't know what danger they're preventing, maybe it's a habit.

And this kind of equipment before use also needs to pass a detailed test, without the tested equipment, it will never let people enter the virus laboratory.

He knew that Du Xianyu asked him to see this kind of equipment, not to let him enter the virus laboratory.

You still have to pay attention to safety, and leisurely view the virus lab through the virtual light curtain in the office. It's safer that way.

They returned to the office again, and Du Xianyu turned on the virtual light curtain. Introduce Li Hao to the situation in the virus laboratory.

The virtual light curtain plays out a crowded laboratory with many small animals.

When Li Hao saw this scene, he said in surprise: "You didn't say that the virus laboratory is very dangerous. As I can see from what I just checked, you mainly rely on robots to operate experiments, that is, every time someone enters the virus lab, it requires very complicated preparations. ”

Du Xianyu smiled and introduced: "The results of our gene programming technology are not only microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. And these genetically treated animals, which are not dangerous at all. ”

He pointed out a little white rabbit and introduced it to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, this is a little white rabbit with phenylketonuria that we created through genetic programming technology. ”

Du Xianyu then pointed out a lot of small animals, and quickly introduced: "Pigs with hemophilia, pigs with diabetes, and monkeys with high blood pressure." ”

Li Hao saw that there were mainly four animals: pikas, pigs, and monkeys. But they all suffer from diseases that are common to humans.

Does he know what that means? Through this animal with a specific disease. Observing their physiological processes may lead to the discovery of the cause of the disease or the discovery of a cure for the disease.

Li Hao gave a thumbs up and praised: "This idea is very good, not only can we find good materials for our company's next research and development work."

Even animals with this particular disease are also very valuable. Major pharmaceutical companies and biological research institutes at home and abroad will definitely rush to buy this animal with defective genes. ”

Du Xianyu also said with a smile: "This is the correct research and development direction of our biological laboratory, we can't always develop a devastating virus like the villain in the film and television drama."

Experiments with viruses in laboratories have two main purposes.

The first goal is to find the weakness of this virus by knocking out certain genes. Gene-targeted drugs can quickly kill the virus and achieve the purpose of treating diseases.

The second purpose is to find the base pairs that support the basic functions of life by changing the genes of the virus.

Viruses have minimal genetic fragments, and their life activities are simple. This makes it easier to explore the base pairs that make up life activities. ”

Li Hao nodded approvingly, this was similar to what he thought. Biotechnology has developed to a certain extent. It is important to explore the genes that control each physiological function.

The light curtain in front of him changed again, this time in a laboratory with deep yin qi.

Du Xianyu looked at the light curtain and introduced: "This is the tobacco mosaic virus that we have processed through genetic programming technology, and we are now studying the basic properties of the tobacco mosaic virus.

This is the HIV virus, this is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This is the flu virus. ”

Li Hao listened to Du Xianyu's words, his face immediately became gloomy, and beads of sweat continued to flow from his sideburns.

saw Du Xianyu say one after another highly contagious deadly germs.

He said solemnly: "Director Du, didn't you just say that you only processed the tobacco mosaic virus with genetic programming technology. So how do you put these strains of deadly germs in the lab? ”

Du Xianyu immediately explained: "Mr. Li, I didn't explain it just now. We only program the genes of tobacco mosaic virus.

But these deadly germs are the microorganisms that we urgently need to address in the development of this technology.

It's just that they are still in the stage of being raised by the original plant and have not yet been processed by gene programming technology.

That's why our virus labs are so tightly guarded. These viruses were bought at a high price from the Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They can be highly pathogenic if released. ”

He saw that Li Hao's face softened, and continued: "Fortunately, in the process of researching the Life Magnetic Field Detector, we found a magnetic field with high efficiency sterilization.

With the presence of such equipment, there is absolutely no way to let a single virus or bacteria escape from the laboratory. Safety can be absolutely guaranteed, after all, if these viruses and bacteria escape, the first thing to suffer is our biological laboratory. ”

"I still say that safety is the most important thing. You will handle the rest yourself, and I will not interfere. ”

Li Hao's expression calmed down, he knew that although Du Xianyu was sometimes crazy, he was still a rational scientist. The safety of the experiment can still be guaranteed.

Suddenly, he saw a flash of light on the curtain, as if he saw a small purple-red grass.

Li Hao immediately paused the light curtain backwards, and sure enough, he saw a small purple-red grass on the screen. The grass was very weak, with only two leaves coming together.

Li Hao pointed to this grass and asked suspiciously, "Director Du, what kind of grass is this?" Why is it still in the innermost layer of the virus laboratory, why is it so strictly protected? ”

Du Xianyu's face was not very good, and he said intermittently: "This is completely an experiment and a variety that failed to be developed." It's just that it's too dangerous, but it's of high research value. We are reluctant to destroy it, so we can only keep it here. ”

Seeing Du Xianyu's performance, Li Hao's curiosity was aroused. He hurriedly asked Du Xianyu, "Can you tell me about the attributes of this little grass." ”

Du Xianyu was very curious when he saw Li Hao, so he told the reason for this little grass.

"This is when we were doing a genetic programming project, I thought that the genetic material of the HIV virus is ribonucleotides, and other organisms have been discovered that their genetic material is all deoxyribonucleotides.

I came up with the idea of using ribonucleotides as genetic material to create a new life organism.

Through the scientific research support system, and my many experiments, the only successful one is this grass, which is an organism assembled from ribonucleotide fragments cut from various cells. ”

Du Xianyu looked at this little grass, sighed and said: "In addition to the genetic mutation rate itself, the rate of mutation is many times higher than that of normal plants. It can survive in harsh environments, and its other properties are no different from ordinary plants.

But because this grass has a ribonucleotide fragment that is unique to cancer cells. It secretes a special set of hormones in its cells, which has a very powerful function to promote the metabolism of the animal body.

I purified and injected the cell juice of 10,000 of these grasses into a pig that had just completed the moon. The rate of division of its cells is abruptly accelerated by a factor of 100.

In just a few minutes, the pig was stretched out and died in a few minutes.

If it were placed in nature, it would create a terrible scene.

Here's a simple example. In prehistoric civilizations, the concentration of oxygen in the air was much higher than it is now, and the animal body metabolized very quickly.

That's why there are behemoths like dinosaurs, dragonflies with a body length of more than one meter, and crawling insects with a body length of 13 meters.

This little grass plays a similar role. Once it spreads, it will cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment. ”
