067 A new farming industry

Between the Canglan Star and the Blue Valley Star.

A new research base has been set up here in the biology laboratory, which is dedicated to a special project.

And the protagonist of this project is the female worm captured in the Blue Valley Star.

"How's it going?"

At this moment, Su Yingxue was standing in a corridor, looking out through the porthole.

It was a mound, about 200 meters in diameter, and on the periphery of this mound, an energy shield activated by several giant devices at the same time, enveloping it.

"All the best, Vice Dean!"

"Now the first larvae have fully hatched, and with the replenishment of our zerg's meat, they will reach adulthood within ten days."

"With this efficiency, we are able to get about 5,000 adults every month."

Beside Su Yingxue, a researcher in a white coat reported, with an unconcealable look of excitement on his face.

The female beast is bred in captivity, and then through a steady supply of meat, it is frantically laid eggs, and after these newborn war insects become adults, they are harvested again and again, and so on.

In this way, the Resistance will be able to obtain at least one key material for the Buro-class destroyer every month.

Of course, it's not that without these, it is impossible to build a Wuluo-class destroyer, or a Descendant-class cruiser, but...

Why use poor materials when there are better material options?

After all, in addition to the armor processed with this thing, no other material has been found that can withstand the attack of war insects, if it weren't for the small number, I'm afraid that the rebels and even the armor of the frigate would be ready to use this thing to make it.

At least, so far, the Resistance have not been able to find a material more suitable for processing into armor than the Bug's forelegs.

Of course, as the mass production project of the War Bug progresses, the fleet command has already begun to plan for the scientific research institute to design an external armor and then retrofit the frigate.

"Vice Dean, but there is one problem that is more difficult to deal with."

"What's the problem?"

"On the question of feed... The appetite of this female worm is also too great, according to its appetite, I am afraid that at most a year, the meat stored on the Canglan Star will be eaten. ”

Saying this, the researcher's face, which was still a little excited, turned into a wry smile again.

The Starry Sky Zerg does have a very strong ability to reproduce, but it is not without constraints, and this restriction is energy, and it can only be supplemented by eating.

That's why, wherever they go, all planets become desolate, and there is no longer any life.

"It's okay, I've found a way to fix it."

Hearing this, the researcher on the side was stunned.

Of course, he wouldn't argue with anything, and although the vice dean was young, even too young, no one in the entire Biology Academy doubted her abilities.

Questioning Su Yingxue, that is a very stupid thing, this year, many people have proved it with themselves.

However, he was still curious, what did the vice dean think of?

"The combination of biotechnology and genetic engineering technology was once considered a taboo technology."

A combination of biotechnology and genetic engineering, and a technology that was once considered taboo?

It can't be that, right?

"Vice Dean, are you going to use cloning technology?"

"Yes, this technology is not difficult for us, but it was once considered a forbidden technology because of ethical issues, but we are not cloning life, but directly cloning meat, and not for human consumption, so there is no problem."

In fact, the concept of cloned meat is not new, as early as the era of the human home planet, there was already this concept, and there is a corresponding perfect technology.

It's just that human beings are very resistant to eating cloned meat, so they have not been able to promote it, and finally even sealed the relevant technology for various reasons, which is the forbidden technology that Su Yingxue said.

But as Su Yingxue said, if the food object is the female worm, then these troublesome problems do not exist.

In this way, the rebels can continuously supply the meat needed by the female worms at a very low cost, even if there are dozens or hundreds of more female worms, there is no problem at all.

A new breeding industry will be born!

------

A few days later, Su Yingxue's report had been placed on Ling Ruoxuan's desk.

For this matter, the scientific research institute was not very easy to make its own decision, so Ling Ruoxuan had to gather all the high-level leaders of the rebel army to discuss it together.

After all, there will always be people who oppose this technology that is defined as taboo by humans, and there are still some ethical issues, right?

However, to Ling Ruoxuan's surprise, all the high-level officials didn't even bother to discuss each of the objections.

According to Mu Zhengfeng's words, it is...

"Humanity has reached this point, who has time to care about whether there is an ethical problem?"

"Don't say it's just cloning meat, it's just cloning animals to feed the female worm, and I won't object to it!"

"Our Lady or something, that's a joke in the age of the universe!"

Hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement.

This is what Ling Ruoxuan found out, and she was too worried.

Well, since all the high-level officials have no opinion, then what are you worried about, just do it!

Of course, for the unsealing of cloning technology, the application to open the cloned meat project was approved, and it was surprisingly successful.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as the project application was approved, Su Yingxue submitted a new demand document.

[Here at the Institute of Biology, more 300-meter-level worm mounds are needed]

As for the purpose of this demand?

That's also very simple, since there is no problem with the captive breeding technology, and there is no problem with the supply of meat, let's have a few more female worms back.

One is in captivity, and ten are also in captivity, isn't it?

After seeing this demand, Ling Ruoxuan also smiled bitterly, and immediately kicked the ball directly to the fleet headquarters.

Catching the female worm, that's not the work of our scientific research institute, let Old Man Mu have a headache...

Just as she thought, Mu Zhengfeng did have a headache.

There is nothing wrong with this demand, and there is no reason to refuse, but the question is where to catch the female worm?

At this time, Mu Zhengfeng didn't know that he didn't need to look for it at all, he was already on the way!

------

In addition to the project of keeping female worms in captivity, Su Yingxue is now also in charge of another important project, that is...

The genetic enhancement project mentioned by Lu Weiming before.

Of course, even with the Tinder database of the Star Sea Federation, the progress is still not very fast.

At present, there are only some breakthroughs in the first-order gene enhancement agent, and there is still a long way to go before it is truly applied.

But no matter what, Su Yingxue has taken a big step forward in gene technology.

"What's the problem?"

Looking at the data that kept flashing on the more than ten big screens in front of her, Su Yingxue frowned slightly.

Although some breakthroughs have been made, after that, she has completely stalled for a month and has never been able to move forward.

"What, stumped?"

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I'm embarrassed to ask, do you know how many days I haven't been out of the lab?"

"It should, probably, probably... Two days? ”

Su Yingxue tilted her head slightly, and after thinking about it, she asked with some uncertainty.

"Two days? It's been almost ten days, okay, give me back and rest immediately! ”

"Ten days, is that long?"

Su Yingxue thought about it, there shouldn't be, at most... It should only be three days at most, no more!

Seeing her like this, Ling Ruoxuan couldn't help but shout.

My daughter is good at everything, she is engaged in scientific research, and she is even more desperate than herself.

"Anyway, give me a go back today, and after Yi comes back in a while, your brother will go home for dinner in the evening."

"Ah, how did I forget about this guy, let's go, let's go immediately, go directly to the airport to block him!"

Su Yingxue, who was still trying to make an excuse and continued to rely in the laboratory, dragged Ling Ruoxuan past at this moment...

Just drag it out.
