Chapter 131: GMO Conference
The Liberty Lighthouse Country, Missouri, where Cao Chuan now settles.
"Master, the 14th World Congress on GMOs will take place in a few days. Through the contact of the investment department, I learned that the East Galaxy Company is expected to join, and the organizing committee of the conference is very welcome, and will give you the best tickets. ”
Cao Chuan looked at the tickets he had in hand, and sure enough, he was the most senior special guest, not only free of charge, but also enjoying all kinds of other treatments, and what he needed to pay was that he had to speak at the conference and preside over a report on a topic.
In fact, the annual GMO Conference is a report conference on scientific achievements, where biologists from all over the world will report on their achievements in applying GMO technology to plants, animals and bacteria.
In recent years, with the development of the planet, the number of visitors attracted by the genetically modified conference has also risen sharply, because any native life on the earth has no way to survive directly on the alien planet, if there is no huge cost to create the corresponding temperature, humidity, nutritional environment of psychological preparation, then, the use of modified genetically modified life is undoubtedly a better choice.
In this regard, the country of Night Rabbit has long been in the lead, in the Martian Taoyuan Port, there are more than a dozen kinds of crops with cold-tolerant characteristics, livestock are widely cultivated, and a large number of exports to the asteroid belt are carried out while meeting the needs of Mars.
Including the Moon Base, as well as the Moon City, several large plantations and breeding farms under the management of Du Ji also use varieties imported from the Night Rabbit Country to avoid the terrible mortality caused by the harsh environment and the extremely low yield.
Therefore, the GMO conference is a matter of great significance to many people.
At this moment, the huge conference room is full, and people are eagerly awaiting the opening of the conference after hearing that many new genetically modified organisms will be born this year.
Cao Chuan sat at the front, for the scientists stuffed in the laboratory, in the greenhouse, his appearance is completely unfamiliar, never appeared on the cover of any scientific magazine, just because the East Galaxy Company did not contribute to these magazines, he does not need to gain fame through submission, he has mastered a full set of science and technology trees, and it is enough to create a civilization by climbing science and technology by himself, of course, he can't look down on these.
But everything is constantly changing, so he feels that after the rise of the East Galaxy Company, they have to aim for a bigger and grander cause, that is, to transform the entire society, so that human civilization can be completely thrown into the arms of the East Galaxy Company is what they want.
If you want to achieve the goal, it is not through power, there are many methods, whether it is economy, culture or science and technology, the greater the influence in these fields, the more people will be affected, even if these people are not immigrants within the control of the East Galaxy at all, they will also know about the East Galaxy Company, and they will achieve his purpose of transforming society.
The economic and cultural influences have been done, including cooperation with Fortune 500 companies, missionary activities of Scientology, etc., and now, it is the turn of science and technology.
On the first day, as usual, it was the opening ceremony, which was similar to the opening ceremony in people's minds, usually not much dry goods, more for promotional purposes. Cao Chuan was relatively interested, not very interested, and kept chatting with Nana and Bailian.
In the afternoon, each session occupies less than a few tens of square meters, so a small discussion rather than a big report-style session is definitely a blessing for those who want to have a deeper understanding, and the two sides can interact fully and equally.
Because there is not so much time, he chooses a few things that he is most interested in, such as the biologists of the Night Rabbit Country talking about the project of using bryophytes to modify nature, and the Europa 13 Alliance talking about the study of animal mutation in the alien environment. Basically, all reports are subtle enough to a small enough field, and scientific research is usually the same, it is impossible to come up with a theory at once, through continuous accumulation and summary, it is possible to find the fundamental laws of nature, and then the theory to application.
Except, of course, Cao Chuan.
"Bryophytes, one of the most primitive plants on Earth, are more than 2 billion years old, widely distributed in a variety of environments, and their ability to survive is far more tenacious than that of plants, so they are also suitable for alien environments."
Through holographic projection on the large screen, a moss creature distributed in the desert environment is displayed, and after being cultivated by the biologists of the Night Rabbit Country, a large enough place has been bred on a mountain.
And because of the existence of moss, which leads to the birth of oxygen, soil transformation and other subtle changes, although it is still unable to live in the extremely harsh environment of Pluto and Mercury, because it is herding sheep and has no cost, the actual value is still immeasurable.
Wait until the moss completes a certain degree of transformation of the environment, and then adds more other life, even higher plants and animals, to form a slightly more complex biological chain, forming a more complete ecological environment.
The report of the biologists of the Night Rabbit Country is quite attractive, although no matter what degree of environmental transformation will be a huge project, bringing amazing costs and time, so whether it should be natural adaptation to humans, or human adaptation to nature, is actually a question that is not conclusive for the time being, such as Cao Chuan's genetic adjustment, is to allow humans to adapt to the environment, and the environmental modification technology proposed by the Night Rabbit Country has made a good start.
The report from the Europa 13 alliance is more of a data summary, telling the story that aliens have no atmosphere, naturally low radiation, and other very different Earth environments will accelerate the evolution of animals.
Such violent evolution will lead to a very terrible mortality rate and even bring about the extinction of species, but from another point of view, because the level of human technology has not yet reached the level of creating gene fragments at will, all gene fragments with corresponding functions are obtained through natural selection.
It's just that the genes of the original life have been almost screened through genetic mapping engineering, and no matter how they are transgenetized, scientists must rely on these existing genes to piece together.
This means that if there is not even a single one of the nearly 1 million species of life in the five kingdoms on Earth that can live in an environment of minus 150 degrees Celsius, even by genetically modified organisms, it will not be possible.
Now, with the emergence of genetic samples of these mutated forms of life on alien planets, it is hoped that the problem of material sources that has plagued biologists will be solved, and aliens may become a natural breeding ground for breeding all kinds of new genes.
