Chapter Forty-Seven: The Borrowed Chicken and Egg Plan
Generally, enrichment plants only absorb metals, and the main breakthrough goal is to focus on super-enriched plants.
Super-enriched plants refer to plants that absorb more than 100 times more heavy metals than ordinary plants, with the accumulated Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, and Pb content generally at 110mg/L, and the accumulated Mn, Zn content at more than 10mg/L (dry weight).
Vetiver, centipede, scaly liverwort, and Indian mustard (Brassicajuncea) are all super-enriched plants that absorb heavy metals from the soil.
Countless biologists present, some of whom have also studied enrichment plants.
Yang Zhou discussed with the crowd, and finally focused on a few of these plants.
For example, the sheeptooth fern, wild amaranth and cruciferous plants have strong ability to enrich cadmium. Purple-leaved flowers can be enriched in lead and zinc; Artemisia and mustard had obvious effects on lead enrichment. Cruciferous and Mustard plants can be planted in nickel-contaminated soils; Sorrel grass can be planted in copper-contaminated soil, and its copper content can reach 1.850mg/g.
There are even more plants that absorb iron, and almost most plants absorb iron.
When plants are deficient in iron, the leaves that are originally green will turn pale yellow due to iron deficiency.
However, there are also divalent iron and trivalent iron absorbed by plants.
This has to be studied in detail.
Soon Yang Zhou assigned topics to his biologists, so that everyone reaffirmed that Yang Zhou must know that there are iron-base plants in the world.
In his chats with these people, Yang Zhou affirmed the existence of this plant many times.
This makes the hidden moles desperate to pass on the information.
After the new project was opened, Yang Zhou's laboratory began to adopt closed management, allowing everyone to live in the same hotel, and the network and mobile phone of external communication were monitored.
Yang Zhou will naturally explain that this is for the sake of confidentiality.
If iron-based plants really exist, and this research is successful, it will cause earth-shaking changes in the entire biological field.
After mastering gene editing and finding iron-based plants, you can really create all kinds of amazing material-based plants.
In the past, foreign scientists also studied the method of compression to obtain wood comparable to steel.
But now, perhaps without additional effort, plants can produce their own steel.
Everyone has also heard that the information leaked abroad, and they will also conduct research in related fields, so this research must be hidden.
Of course, the early intelligence is not so important, Yang Zhou was looking for iron grass at the beginning, and foreign countries should have thought of what special role super-rich plants have.
But later, as the research deepened, Yang Zhou used his knowledge to begin to transform plants, and that information was very important.
In Zhou Guoqiang's view, if there are really moles among biologists, there must also be special information transmission channels.
Maybe there are other people who will answer, so as long as you wait patiently and watch carefully, you can find the flaw sooner or later.
Yang Zhou didn't plan to find the inner ghost at once, but planned to use the inner ghost to spread the replica spores abroad.
There is no way to make the secret base cooperate, after all, the creation mushroom belongs to Yang Zhou, and all the replica spores are in Yang Zhou's hands, which is one of Yang Zhou's biggest secrets, and Yang Zhou can't expose himself.
In view of the current development, Yang Zhou also has a plan, and he is ready to let the replicator spores create several Creation Mushrooms No. 2 and No. 3 again.
This time, even YZ bacteria will be absorbed into the interior space of Genesis Mushroom 2.
He needs to be on the same starting line, both at home and abroad.
Because for Yang Zhou, even if the YZ bacteria and replicating spores are mastered abroad, there is no threat to him.
It can also improve the overall level of biotechnology on the planet.
The results of the research were published, and he was able to replicate them as soon as possible.
Let countless foreign biologists work for him for free, consume their scientific research funds, and finally wait for something to be researched abroad, he will copy the same thing in China within a few days, and he will never be left behind.
What's more, the plants studied by the earth, Yang Zhou really doesn't look down on it.
It's too far away from the plants in the system mall.
At the same time, Yang Zhou will replicate the spread of spores and YZ bacteria, and there is another benefit, which is to relieve the pressure on Huaguo.
If Huaguo keeps leading, it is likely to cause a backlash from all the forces on the earth, and it will not be good to repeat the scene when the Qing Dynasty faced the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Now that peaceful development is needed, it is safest for everyone to do research with peace of mind and not to use other means.
Yang Zhou, who is doing research in the Beijing laboratory, is also controlling the Genesis Mushroom No. 1 under the Tengger Desert, using ordinary water sources, collecting a lot of YZ bacteria and absorbing them into his body.
In the end, a number of fist-sized Genesis Mushroom No. 2, Genesis Mushroom No. 3 and a series of small Genesis Mushroom clones were cultivated.
It's just that these doppelgangers lack function and can't expand and grow hundreds of times larger, and the largest will become the size of a washbasin.
The number of replicating spores produced is also limited, and it is not possible to replicate billions of spores at once like Genesis Mushroom 1.
The small doppelganger after Genesis Mushroom No. 2 has no space spring water in his body and cannot secrete acceleration fluid.
There are only 2 major functions, and that is to release YZ bacteria and replicate spores.
The secret base first found the oversized replica spores in the Blue Lagoon, and at the time they thought it was also a spores, but it grew larger.
But then it was transported to the Red Beach Laboratory and studied by Professor Zhang, only to find that it seemed to be a primitive fungus underground!
Originally, the secret base had sent a diving team into the underground of the Blue Lagoon and searched carefully, but no other special fungi were found except for the underground river.
But I didn't expect that the special fungus would run out on its own.
This major discovery was immediately reported to Yang Zhou.
Professor Zhang exclaimed excitedly on the phone: "We have found the original fungus that produced replicating spores!" Moreover, many of them are found at once, and in the future, it will be possible to cultivate this fungus in special waters by itself and produce replicator spores in large quantities. ”
"Send some to the Beijing laboratory, I'll study it, Lao Zhang, why are you so excited, don't you run out of replica spores." Yang Zhou said with a smile.
"Who said, even if a few tons of replica spores are used up sooner or later, we have not been able to find a way to produce, it has always been a hidden danger, and now that the hidden danger has been lifted, with the original fungus, we can take the initiative to produce replica spores."
"It's just that my preliminary research found that the replica spores produced by this fungus seem to be much weaker than those collected before, and there are no replica spores that can extract the acceleration solution, and only ordinary replica spores can be born, as well as YZ bacteria." Professor Zhang said.
"Okay, send more here, I'll study it in the capital to see what's going on." Yang Zhou said.
It seems that the chicken-and-egg plan can be executed! I just don't know how many ghosts I can catch?
