On the premise that money opens the way, Li Jinglan soon purchased a large number of mature or semi-mature eels in the coastal areas of southern Fujian Province.

The eels are then transported to the island of Caragua by means of a special live seafood transport vessel.

Meanwhile.

Li Qingye also received another message.

By satellite phone, Kangnan, who went out to sea to fish for eel fry, reported to him an important piece of information that glass eels had become unusually scarce in the wild eel breeding waters near the Luzon Trench.

According to Connan's communication with a dozen or so peers, the number of glass eels at this time was only a few tenths of what it used to be.

Many fishing boats have been busy for a few weeks and have caught dozens of catties of fish fry, while in previous years they could catch several tons of fish fry, which is simply a cliff-like decline.

Li Qingye naturally understands that this is the evil result of overfishing that is beginning to manifest itself, and at the same time, this is also an opportunity and a huge outlet.

When wild resources are scarce, the price of fry can be quickly raised, and capital investment will also be stimulated.

Now he has to quickly develop a low-cost eel breeding technology that prevents other companies from developing similar technologies.

At present, the most in-depth research institute on the artificial reproduction of eels is a research institute from Dongying, and they have been able to realize the artificial reproduction of eels, but the production cost is too impressive.

The technology developed by the Toei Research Institute is to promote the breeding of mature eels through hormonal stimulation and environmental regulation.

At present, the production cost of a captive-bred eel reaches 60,000 US dollars.

The wholesale price of wild eel fry is 7,000~12,000 US dollars for 5,000 glass eels.

The price difference between the two is too great, and artificial eel fry are not competitive at all.

Li Qingye had read the relevant papers of that research institute, and even turned the other party's network upside down through hacking.

Although the institute concealed some key data, it recently pushed the production cost to about 40,000 US dollars per dollar.

But Li Qingye is not optimistic about them, because the key to this set of artificial reproduction technology lies in special hormones, and the cost of those special hormones is there.

Using the data of Dongying researchers, he deduced a whole set of techniques.

"The key is the special sex hormone of eel, which cannot be synthesized artificially at present, and the price of several hormones as an alternative is not cheap, and it is easy to cause abnormal development of eels." Li Qingye clarified his thoughts.

Soon he began experimenting.

First, through the combined action of various hormones, coupled with stimulation that mimics environmental stress, the eel enters a state of sexual maturity.

I found that special eel sex hormone and refined it.

Comparing the genetic sequences before and after sexual maturity in eels, we identified some genetic sequences that may be associated with sexual maturity.

The next step is very simple, which is to use CRISPR sequences with building factors to inactivate some eel genes.

After more than a month of research, he quickly locked onto the genetic sequences of the eel's sexually mature genes, cut them out, and inserted them into the yeast through CRISPR-Cas9.

Soon under environmental stress, the genetically recombinant yeast rapidly produced eel sex hormones.

In addition to the equipment, the production cost of this hormone has dropped significantly, about 5 US dollars per gram.

This is still the production cost of the laboratory solution, and the production cost will continue to fall if the industrial production solution is adopted.

With this particular eel sex hormone, he quickly injected the mature eels with injections.

In the C5 section of the experimental base.

More than a dozen employees who are responsible for inspecting the eel breeding tanks are holding pens to record the situation of each tank.

Li Qingye and Li Jinglan looked at the situation in the water tanks one by one.

"Has it worked?" Li Jinglan was very excited, looking at the glass eel in the tank, as if he saw gold swimming.

Li Qingye said calmly: "Well, the technology has matured, two mature eels can produce 100~3 million fish eggs, without the interference of other hunters, 30% of these fish eggs can develop into glass eels." ”

"Boss, we are developed, the price of an eel fry in January this year has reached 30,000 US dollars, and there is no stock."

Li Qingye instructed: "You take people to Huaguo, Dongying and Southeast Asia as soon as possible, and sell the eel fry in our hands in small batches, but don't expose that we have artificial breeding technology." ”

"Do a good job, the company will give you dividend shares in the future, and let Kangnan come back!" You don't have to catch any more fry, he'll follow you first. ”

"Understood, I'll do a good job." Li Jinglan smiled.

Looking at Li Jinglan, who was leaving in a hurry, Li Qingye's expression was very calm, but there was some meaning in his eyes.

Betrayal, it's human nature.

His father just believed in the so-called beliefs too much, and was backstabbed again and again by like-minded partners, and finally the family was ruined.

Instead of believing in faith, it is better to implement the means, father, I will not be naïve, and I am not qualified to be naïve. ’

Li Qingye thought silently with his hands in his pockets, the white coat on his body was white and cold, and he walked in the direction marked Area A.

The entire scientific research base is divided into four levels of A, B, C, and D, of which there are two types of AB areas, and only Li Qingye has permission to enter.

Don't look at the fact that he has been researching eel breeding technology for more than a month, in fact, this is just one of the small projects.

How difficult it is to survive in this cruel world, to be a person who stands up to the sky.

Without strength, you can't keep Homo sapiens.

If you don't want to be a dog, you can only beat those who want to train dogs to death.

At the same time as he was researching eel breeding technology, he started a research project on biological weapons.

Enter Zone A, the most central area.

Look at the orange liquid in the glass reagent bottle, and there are some cells floating in it that are imperceptible to the naked eye, which are malaria parasites that have been modified through genetic recombinant technology, a microorganism that can cause malaria.

Li Qingye has completely transformed it.

First, it improves its drug tolerance, and no antimalarial drugs on the market can have an effect on it;

Second, it knocks out the ability to reproduce, so that the malaria parasite cannot reproduce naturally.

Third, the dormant gene sequence of the tardigrade is inserted, giving it an incubation period of about 7 years.

Fourth, the metamorphosis gene sequence of the insect is inserted, and once activated by a special pheromone, they will wake up from their dormant state and begin to go berserk and destroy.

Fifth, the cell symbiosis mode, which is to ensure that the malaria parasites will not be digested and decomposed by the human body during the dormant period, and the cells that Li Qingye chose to parasitize them are human brain cells.

At present, the preliminary preparation of [Gu worm type 1 - Plasmodium parasite] has been completed.

But Li Qingye still felt that it was not perfect, because [Gu worm-Plasmodium type 1] still had some shortcomings.

For example, it can only be injected through a syringe, which is too obvious, how he tricks others into injecting, this is a problem.

Another problem is that the special pheromones that need to be used in the activation process also need to be injected, which increases the uncontrollable factors.

He now has to find a way to solve both problems.

Moreover, this external trigger type, if you have precautions, you can isolate the triggering of pheromones by wearing protective clothing.

Now it seems that the internal regular trigger-type Three-Corpse Brain Divine Pill seems to have some truth.
