Chapter 49: The Trojan Horse Scheme
"Some results have indeed been achieved, and through my efforts, I have successfully obtained some effective genes, and I have linked this gene to two groups of replicating fungi, guess what happened?" Yang Zhou squinted his eyes and smiled.
Zhou Guoqiang didn't know much about biology, and Yang Zhou said that he didn't understand the specific technical principles, so he had to ask: "What happened?" ”
"Haha, the characteristic of replicating spores is to transmit genetic information over the air regardless of distance, and I was wondering if the fungus can achieve similar functions, but the study found that there is no such ability, and there seems to be a gene lock inside the fungus, and the detailed genetic information cannot be viewed."
"This time I tried to directly take out part of the genes, and use YZ bacteria to carry this part of the genes to modify another strain of replicating fungi, and the last two strains of replicating fungi actually achieved the ability to replicate in the air, and the second strain of replicating fungi produced spores to replicate plant genes will let the spores produced by the first replicating fungi release the same plant genes." Yang Zhou explained.
Zhou Guoqiang touched the smooth door of his head, frowned, and said, "Professor, can you put it simply, I don't understand it a little." ”
"To put it simply, I realized that the genes collected by one fungus can be replicated in the air on another fungus! Moreover, this replication distance is possible infinitely! I need you guys to do a test. Yang Zhou said.
Naturally, there is no specific theory, and Yang Zhou can't explain why this is so.
It's just that he has mastered the complete genes of the fungus, and he can replicate it as much as he wants, and as long as he transmits a message to the creation mushroom, the function will be realized.
But now Yang Zhou's status does not need to explain to everyone what the principle of technology is.
In this field, he is the best at understanding related technologies.
Cancer plants, now no one dares to ask Yang Zhou how to successfully transform it, and everyone can only cooperate with Yang Zhou, so Yang Zhou doesn't have to find other reasons to explain how he realizes the function.
He only needs to use this function to convince Zhou Guoqiang and let Zhou Guoqiang cooperate with his actions.
"How to test, I will fully support you." Zhou Guoqiang assured.
"Well, now I want to test how far the limit distance is, so I need personnel to take a trip abroad with the replicating spores, the farther away the better, and then use the replicating spores to replicate plant genes, I'll take a look at the two replicating fungi, whether they will also contain these two genetic information inside, releasing the same sporozoite." Yang Zhou said.
If it is specific scientific research knowledge, Zhou Guoqiang must not understand it at all.
But after Yang Zhou explained, Zhou Guoqiang already understood what Yang Zhou wanted to do.
He hesitated a little and said: "If Yang Zhou's test is successful, are you going to spread a fungus out, and then secretly use this function to obtain the research results of foreign teams?" ”
"I can't hide it from you, yes, what do you think? Now there are internal ghosts within the team, and a lot of information has been leaked abroad, I think other fields, there is also a lot of pressure, if we take the initiative to spread a fungus out, so that people outside also have a source of YZ bacteria, on the surface with us on the same running line, can we alleviate these pressures? Yang Zhou asked with a serious face.
Zhou Guoqiang nodded solemnly, these days, with the launch of foreign biological programs, a stormy atmosphere can be felt in various fields.
Originally, the above decided to resist to the end, and even if it caused a conflict, it would not hand over the technology in its hands.
But Yang Zhou offers a new idea.
"I see, you give me the spores, I'll have people test them, and as for your plan to spread the fungus, I'm going to report it to the boss and see what it says." Zhou Guoqiang said.
A day and a half later, Zhou Guoqiang returned to Yang Zhou's lab with the latest news and told him the results of the above discussion.
And the replicating spores have also gone to many places, almost half a circle around the earth, reaching the farthest distance, the spores have replicated plant genes, and now Zhou Guoqiang also needs to know the test answers.
As a result, there is no problem, as long as it absorbs water rich in various elements, the replicating fungus will continue to wave the filaments on the top of the head, scattering microspores.
And these spores are all plant seeds that are replicated on the other side of the world.
Yang Zhou gave Zhou Guoqiang thousands of spores, and all the plant seeds copied by these spores would be re-replicated on the two replicating fungi.
Seeing the results of the experiment, Zhou Guoqiang said: "The above respects your opinion, if you think it is necessary to do this, then you can carry it out, after all, the foreign biotechnology is very strong, let them study all kinds of plants, and it is completely feasible for us to reap the benefits of fishermen, but the above is also worried that if foreign countries obtain YZ bacteria, transform some magical plants, and do not use spores to reproduce, then we will not be able to obtain these plants?" ”
I can hear that there are still some risks above, but I respect Yang Zhou's decision.
For Yang Zhou, even if people abroad use YZ bacteria to study any modified plants, it will not be very powerful.
After all, YZ bacteria have a gene lock, but the probability of success is higher than that of Cas9 gene editor.
YZ bacteria are obtained abroad and modified plants can be achieved regardless of cost through the Cas9 gene editor.
Yang Zhou explained, popularized the science of where the technical gap between domestic and foreign countries is, and then said: "YZ bacteria are not so magical, they can't get cancer plants through YZ bacteria, this can rest assured, as for replicating spores, they can only be used to replicate plant genes, they can't help but use it, provided that we can steal the leaked fungal replication genes, and this news must be kept secret and included in the top secret!" ”
"That's no problem, now this news is only known to the boss and several other biggest bosses." Zhou Guoqiang nodded.
He already tends to spread the replicating fungus.
The spread of this fungus can also prove that Huaguo did not really find alien technology, but discovered a magical fungus, and all research was achieved by relying on this magical fungus.
It will even make the other party feel that after they steal this fungus, they can also achieve the scientific research results achieved by Yang Zhou.
Yang Zhou discussed some details with Zhou Guoqiang, and even spoke to the boss in person very rarely, and after getting Yang Zhou's assurance, the boss approved and allowed this plan to be implemented, and this secret plan also has a special name, that is, the Trojan Horse Project.
This Trojan horse, of course, is not a virus Trojan horse, but an ancient Greek Trojan horse that used Trojan horses to camouflage and sneak attack the city of Troy.
Now the fungus is like a Trojan horse, and Yang Zhou plans to use it to steal the scientific and technological achievements of foreign countries that spent 500 billion US dollars on research.
