I haven't seen anyone for many days, it's not a good thing for the manager of a collective, although Su Yu has been almost deified in this collective, and it is still very necessary to show his face in front of his subordinates, Su Yu then decided to go to several key departments in the group below to inspect and brush up on his presence, and the most important unit is the Academy of Biological Sciences that he has high hopes for.

――――――――

As soon as he walked into the door of the research institute, Captain Li Qiang greeted him, the current deputy minister of the group's security department, yesterday I heard Su Yu say that he wanted to inspect the research institute, he came to personally arrange the defense, Su Yu followed him, heard him explain to himself the complex security work of the research institute, there are more than 500 armed security guards alone, almost every researcher is equipped with a security guard, worthy of the name of the guard, nodded to express satisfaction.

Such a level was enough to deal with commercial-level spies, and Su Yu didn't expect them to do more.

He shook his hand and motioned for Li Qiang to do his own thing, and he wanted to go inside and have a look.

"The topic I'm going to discuss today is super organisms." On the podium, Professor Liao Yunsheng spoke passionately. Then he flicked the control in his hand, and the holographic projection table on the podium was projecting the three-dimensional holographic image he had just made.

This concept comes from modern biological research, an interesting phenomenon in the biological world.

For example, there is a bacterium, the scientific name is "slime mold", under normal circumstances, when there is a lot of food, each cell of this bacterium fights for food and multiplies by direct division. Once there is a lack of food, a certain part of the cell begins to move, becoming the "leader", rhythmically producing a chemical signal that guides other cells to move towards the dominant cell, and finally synthesizes, forming a sticky mass of cells, and then begins to differentiate, forming a bright, multicellular "slug" with a head and a tail, and a body length of one or two millimeters, which wriggles forward, finds light, water, and can also reproduce spores. ”

He pointed to the vivid projection image on the projection table.

"Here, slugs and slime molds are obviously two different biological forms, in the case of slime bacteria and when they are slugs, the two are completely different, one is independent, the other is mixed, in the case of independent individuals, their behavior is simple, they lack the ability to survive, but once they synthesize and become super organisms, slugs, their means of survival are greatly increased.

Another example is the ant world that we are all familiar with, which is the same, they are composed of a large number of ant social groups with different divisions of labor and strict hierarchies, most of which are independent and unselfish (at least most of them), and each unit has its own duties, but the entire ant society as a whole shows a logical biological behavior to the outside world.

For example, there is a kind of position in the ant society to "explore new food sources", and the executors are "lazy ants", who usually wander around all day long and do not do things, but when the group is in trouble, they become the new "leaders", leading the army to new food sources.

Interestingly, in ant societies, the ratio of "lazy ants" (and of course, other types of ants) is constant and can change functions depending on the conditions. For example, if you gather lazy ants together, they will work again (a certain percentage of ants are still lazy); In the remaining community, a certain percentage of "lazy ants" were separated. This in itself seems to be a fixed law of the ant system, and the clarity and division of labor represent the most obvious proof of the ant society as a conscious, well-intentioned organism.

In fact, this is the most typical superorganism phenomenon in sociobiology. That's what I'm going to talk to you about today! ”

Liao Yunsheng looked at the students of the research institute under the stands, these diligent and imaginative young people, in his eyes, these people are the seeds of future biotechnology, they don't know what a great thing it is for them to join the Maosheng Group Academy of Biosciences and take root and survive in this unique soil!

Perhaps, from these current students, there will be a few or even dozens of scientists who will create a new biological century for human beings on the earth, and they will personally study the method of human beings to freely master the genetic growth of the earth's organisms, so as to cultivate countless new and omnipotent biological species, and the future will be full of halos.

Although all this has not yet appeared, and it is still only in Liao Yunsheng's mind, he firmly believes that the current Maosheng Academy of Biological Sciences, under the guidance of their older generation, has the strength to realize all this.

He continued, with an uncontrollable excitement in his voice.

"The study found that, in fact, the phenomenon of superorganisms, not just in biology, expands the perspective to the entire human world, and the phenomenon of superorganisms abounds.

Human beings themselves are also a super organism, in our human society, the characteristics of a single person are very clear, birth, growth, survival, reproduction, the purpose of each of us is independent, it is easy to judge, if a single human survives in the natural environment, our means of survival are very lacking, even inferior to most other creatures.

But once we human beings form a society, then it is completely different, the capacity of human society as a whole is almost unlimited, the greater the number of individuals in the social group, the greater our ability, human beings unite to develop science and technology, create history and culture, and create modern industry. For the sake of a better life, we can even drastically transform the nature in which we live.

When we are alone, we are only appendages of nature, but once united, we can even transcend and dominate this earth.

This is the most typical superorganism phenomenon.

If we have this attitude to understand the world and our surroundings, we will be liberated from the narrow view of biology and see the truth of the world, the concept of biology is hierarchical, human society is a super organism, and human beings themselves are also a super organism.

The basic unit of this superorganism of human society is the human individual.

Then the basic unit of the superorganism of human beings themselves is biological cells, blood cells, lymph, muscle, fat, and many other biological tissues.

Human beings are naturally a higher level of existence than cells, so human society is also a higher level of existence than human individuals, and so on, is our mother, the earth, also a super organism, and a higher level of existence than human society? ”

Then Liao Yunsheng took a deep breath and pulled his divergent thinking back from the infinity that continued to extend,

"The reason why I want to talk about this here today is to tell you that we need to emancipate our minds in our future research work and look at our current research projects from a new perspective, instead of engaging in dogmatism.

Many of the cutting-edge research projects that Mr. Su is currently open to us do need to use this new vision to look at the biological world that we were once accustomed to, and the genetic analysis we are engaged in, and the laboratory on a chip we are engaged in undoubtedly show that our Maosheng Academy of Biological Sciences is using a new means to study plant planting technology.

At this level, the environmental characteristics of organisms at the macro level are interpreted by new theories, and the environmental stability and adaptability of organisms can be adjusted by new means, which is why our Maosheng Academy of Biological Sciences has been able to break new records of biological cultivation technology again and again.

Just like we are now planning to study the transplanted golden silk nanmu, which is a plant that is extremely dependent on the environment and extremely demanding on the planting environment, but with the new planting technology, it is not much different from the tree species that we have successfully transplanted before.

We have fundamentally changed the mechanism of their environmental dependence, which is the bottom of the kettle.

Therefore, from this point, it can be seen that changing our thinking is already the most urgent requirement for us scientific research workers in the new era. Only by adapting to this new perspective of thinking and no longer being limited by the narrow scientific outlook of the past can we be competent in the scientific research work in our hands.

You must know that we are now working at the Maosheng Institute of Biological Sciences, which is the world's top scientific research mecca that biologists all over the world are watching, and the resources we have in our hands and the projects we are studying are the most cutting-edge and potential research in the world.

It can be said that everything we do, every day, every experiment, is creating history, and it is a big step forward in helping mankind to progress, and the achievements created by the Flourishing Institute of Biological Sciences will allow mankind to control the future. ”

Su Yu also sat in the corner tower at the back of the conference room, listened to Liao Yunsheng's class, and when he heard Liao Yunsheng talk about this, he knew - super creature! Since Liao Yunsheng can think of this from this, it must not be untargeted, I'm afraid he really knows something. The section of the trunk of the rhizome of the mother tree that I had given them for study seemed to have done something.
