Whether it is a gene decoder or a recombinant evolution instrument, in fact, the scientific and technological content in it is not high, it relies on the huge gene database collected by the alpha person to achieve its magical function, if there is no such gene in the gene pool, then the same, it is still necessary to honestly experiment and explore.
Big data is not just a random mess, but it is still very useful.
The Arkans are the top civilization in the universe, and the genetic database they collect can basically be said to contain the genetic database of all living beings in the universe, and there are very few genetic data that they do not have.
Liu Qingquan took out the primary gene decoder for Shui Wa, and the database in it contains hundreds of millions of plant gene pools, which can basically completely analyze all the genes of the existing plants on the earth.
Some people may say that the ecology and environment of each planet are different, and the genes of the earth's organisms should also be different from others.
The genetic similarity between humans and mice is as high as 95%, and the genetic difference between any two people is very, very small, so the cosmic biological gene pool collected by the alpha person is definitely able to completely analyze the genes of the earth's creatures, and the probability of not being able to analyze it is too small, and even if there is, it does not have much impact.
With the two major cheats, the biological research institute is to find all kinds of organisms to build a gene bank of the earth's organisms, and to study various genetic recombinations.
Collecting organisms to build a gene bank, this kind of work is not technical, a team of 100 people is enough, plus flying cars that can fly around the world, they will not take long to collect 99% of the genes of living organisms on the earth.
But genetic recombination is a very huge work, there are so many gene sequences, and the combination of them is impossible to calculate, how many kinds of life in the universe, how many kinds of gene combinations, but do you know how many kinds of life there are in the universe?
At least the Alpha Person, who is already the top civilization in the universe, doesn't know, endlessly!
Therefore, the people of Qingquan Biological Research Institute are constantly selecting the genes they want from the increasingly large earth gene pool, and then carrying out various recombinations, and then importing the recombination data into the genetic recombination evolution instrument, and then carrying out physical operations after obtaining the results, and finally conducting physical experiments.
When genetic recombination is carried out, more than 99.99% of the combinations obtained can be known in the genetic recombination evolutionary instrument, and this combination of recombination will not work, and occasionally the results are exciting!
Of course, in order to get as many combinations as possible, the people in the Institute of Biology use supercomputers to combine, rely on countless combinations, and then evolve through a recombinant evolutionary instrument to determine whether this combination is useful.
Even if the probability of useful combinations is small, it cannot withstand the use of supercomputers to use huge combinations, there are always some combinations that can be successful, and the Institute of Biology has obtained many successful combinations.
Of course, these combinations are the results of the operation and calculation of the evolutionary instrument, and whether they can really be effective or not is based on actual experiments, but in most cases, the combinations obtained actually have no practical meaning and effect, such as making sea buckthorn bloom red flowers like mountain red through genetic recombination, plum blossoms bloom triangular flowers, and so on.
Such a combination does not have much effect and significance, or it does not have much effect and significance for the time being, but the combination that you really want is very rare.
Of course, there must be certain rules and methods for these gene combinations, but these are the secrets of various state institutions and enterprises, and they will not be released to the public at all.
You can buy their genetically modified seeds and products, and you can also see some kind of successful genetically modified products they have come up with, but you will never tell outsiders about the rules and methods of their combinations.
Of course, Liu Qingquan's seed space has various laws and methods researched by the Alpha Person, but Liu Qingquan does not intend to take it out, if everything is taken out directly, this scientific research will be completely meaningless, and scientific research and scientific research must be honestly and down-to-earth to explore.
Being able to come up with a gene decoder and a recombinant evolution instrument is already the biggest cheat, and with these two things, you can save countless time and energy when researching biological gene technology, omit the work without content, and focus your time and energy on pioneering research.
In fact, if you simply get a few plants that can quickly green ~ turn the Loess Plateau, Shuiwa has already obtained a lot of combinations, using camel grass, bamboo, elephant grass three plants to combine new plants.
It has the huge roots and drought tolerance of camel grass, and at the same time has the rapid growth characteristics of bamboo, and also has the juicy and sweet grass of elephant grass, which is a very good forage grass, and this new type of grass plant is named dry bamboo grass by the team led by Shui Wa.
Like Huangzhu grass, it is artificially selected, and it is a non-naturally evolved species formed by hybridization and genetic recombination, which is also an efficient and excellent forage grass with considerable economic value.
Compared with the requirements of the growth environment of the imperial bamboo grass, it is only suitable for production in tropical and subtropical areas, but the dry bamboo grass made by Shuiwa and others can grow in a broader arid area.
Such excellent pastures have been studied, it stands to reason that the water baby should be almost happy to announce that his hometown is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, the people of the Loess Plateau can plant these grasses, large-scale livestock breeding, the development of animal husbandry, the future of the Loess Plateau may not be able to become another Argentine pampas-like livestock area.
But obviously, this dry bamboo grass alone is not completely satisfactory to the water baby, and the water baby also takes a fancy to another international emerging project - energy plants!
The so-called energy plant refers to a kind of plant that directly converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen-free hydrocarbons through photosynthesis, and the chemical composition of this kind of plant secreting milk or extract is similar to the chemical composition of petroleum, so it is also called "oil plant", and because this kind of plant is mostly woody plants, it is also called "energy tree".
The molecular structure of this type of plant synthesis is similar to petroleum hydrocarbons, such as alkanes, naphthenes, etc., and hydrocarbon-rich plants are the best source of plant energy, with low production cost and high utilization rate.
At present, the ones that have been discovered and appreciated by energy experts include the sui zi, the green jade tree, the West Valley coconut, the Simmond wood, the Brazilian rubber tree, etc. For example, the Brazilian rubber tree produces milk that is very similar to petroleum and can be used as diesel without refining, producing up to 40 liters per tree per year. The trunk of the tree contains a light brown flammable oily liquid similar to kerosene, which can also be used as fuel oil when a hole is drilled in the trunk.
At present, the international research on this area began in the early 60s of the last century, developed in the 70s, and developed rapidly after the 80s.
In 1986, Dr. Calvin, a Nobel laureate at the University of California, successfully planted tree species such as the supra tree and the green jade tree with high development value in a large area in Fortuna, California, and could harvest 120-140 barrels of oil per hectare.
So far, there has been a rapid upsurge in the development and research of energy plants in the world, and many countries have formulated corresponding development and research plans. For example, Japan's "Sunshine Plan", India's "Green Energy Project", the United States' "Energy Farm", and Brazil's "Alcohol Energy Plan", etc.
With the discovery of more plants such as "diesel tree", "alcohol tree" and "wax tree" and the continuous maturity of cultivation technology, "oil botanical gardens" and "energy forest farms" have been established around the world to plant some plants that produce similar to petroleum fuel.
The United Kingdom, France, Japan, Brazil, Russia and other countries have also carried out research and application of petroleum plants, cultivating new tree species with the help of genetic engineering technology, and adopting more advanced cultivation technology to improve yield.
By 2010, the United States had planted more than one million hectares of fast-growing oil forests, and established research bases for petroleum plants such as poplar, alder, black locust, and eucalyptus. The Philippines has 12,000 hectares of acacia trees, which can harvest 10 million barrels of oil in six years, and Switzerland's "Green Energy Plan" plans to plant 100,000 hectares of oil plants in 10 years to meet 50% of the country's annual oil demand.
Thailand's auto fuel station made from coconut oil opened in Prachuap Khiri province in central Thailand, becoming the world's first coconut oil gas station. Brazil is the country with the most distinctive characteristics in the development and application of ethanol fuel, implementing the world's largest "ethanol cultivation" program, with ethanol production reaching 14.6 billion and ethanol consumption exceeding 12.2 billion in 2004. Brazil produces 44% of the world's ethanol and exports 66%.
Energy issues have always been an important issue restricting human development, especially in the face of the severe situation of traditional oil depleting and new energy not appearing, international crude oil prices in 2022 have been rising year after year.
Shuiwa hopes to study energy plants that can be suitable for production on the Loess Plateau or desert areas through genetic technology, if China's vast desert areas are used to plant such energy plants, then the country does not need to beg grandpa and grandma in order to ensure energy supply in the world, and beg people in a low voice, and let those energy countries kneel in turn ~ lick!
At this time, in the glass that the water baby's eyes are looking at, there is a new type of genetically modified energy plant is preparing for field experiments, this plant named "fortune tree" by the water baby, is made of coconut palm, poplar, Brazilian rubber tree, moso bamboo four plants genetic recombination.
