Nine Hundred and Twenty-Four: Brainstorming
Petri dish, reagent bottle, beaker flask test tube rack.
This is the biological experiment center located in Beidu, the earth receiving end of alien biochemical technology. Since Beidu and the resistance organization began to cooperate, this place has become the most important biological experiment base in the country.
Beidu attaches great importance to the experimental base and has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to make the experimental base the world's most advanced biochemical base.
If the research on planetary engines is the most valued by Beidu, then the cooperation on biochemical technology must be ranked second. In the minds of some people, absorbing biochemical technology is more important than studying planetary engines!
This is not surprising. The planetary engine is too advanced. Even the aliens have lost the manufacturing technology, but the biochemical technology is actually in the hands of the resistance organization. It can be taught to humans from the shallow to the deep and step by step.
For this reason, high-end talents from all over the country gathered in Beidu. The only task is to master the technology from aliens as soon as possible.
These days, various disciplines are subdivided and subdivided. Even high-end talents have different focuses. Some are good at viruses, some specialize in genes, and some tend to medicine.
These experts and scholars from different disciplines watched the same video, but each had their own feelings. Since they had made achievements in their respective disciplines, and the resistance organization also started from the most basic technology, the laboratory quickly produced practical results.
The first breakthrough was in genetic technology, involving cutting-edge fields such as gene analysis, gene recombination, gene activation sequence and gene adjustment.
Genetic technology is not a new topic, but humans have not achieved much in this regard, and lack understanding of invalid genes.
However, genetic analysis technology has solved this problem. The genetic research team of the laboratory used alien technology to re-sort the human genome and obtained a large amount of first-hand experimental data. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the research team is given enough time, it will no longer be a dream to customize a child according to the wishes of the parents.
More importantly, this technology can check the genes of fertilized eggs to find problems in the genes, fundamentally eliminate the occurrence of genetic diseases and congenital defects, and in the foreseeable future, it can also be treated through extended technologies such as gene deployment-this technology can not only be used for treatment in the embryonic stage, but as long as it develops to a certain extent, even the genes of adults can be adjusted and repaired.
The military believes that aliens use this technology to transform captives, and hopes that the laboratory's genetic research team can reach this level as soon as possible.
Of course, the military only hopes so, and they also know that the research team will not be able to reach that level in a short time.
The breakthrough in genetic technology has also led to the explosive development of a series of related technologies, the most important of which is cloning technology.
From a certain perspective, humans mastered cloning technology as early as the 1990s, but this technology has never been truly mature. Problems such as premature aging and low fertility have always plagued researchers around the world.
However, genetic analysis technology can solve these problems. All the research team needs is enough time.
In addition, this technology has paved the way for organ cloning. It will soon become a reality for animals to grow human cloned organs, not only internal organs such as the heart, liver, and lungs, but also arms, legs, and even a bone or a muscle can be solved by cloning.
An expert predicted that cloning is only the first step. The ultimate goal of genetic research is to completely control genes. In the short term, cloning can only be used to solve the problem of organ donors for transplantation. One day in the future, humans will not have to transplant organs, but let the diseased organs gradually wither and be replaced by new organs that grow back in the body. Even if the limbs are amputated, they can grow back...
The last sentence is still a bold statement for the time being, but the prospect of genetic technology is undoubted, and it will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to mankind.
Medical cloning is only one aspect. More importantly, humans can use cloning technology to reproduce extinct creatures one by one!
To date, the earth has been ravaged by giant insects for more than eight years. During these eight years,
most wild animals have been exterminated by giant insects, and the only large mammals left are those raised by humans.
When the genetic technology mastered by humans reaches a certain level, it is completely possible to rebuild the genes of extinct creatures through gene recombination and gene activation, so that they can reappear in the world!
Of course, the difficulty of doing this is far greater than regenerating broken limbs, but it is always a thought.
Another technology that must be mentioned is genetic modification. Thanks to the breakthrough of genetic technology, genetic modification technology has also been greatly improved. In the laboratory, rice ears have grown on willow branches, and they can grow again after harvesting. As long as the nutrition is kept up in time, they can be harvested every one month or so.
The laboratory has named this new crop willow rice. According to laboratory measurements, a five-meter-tall willow rice can harvest 500 to 700 kilograms of rice in one harvest, which is only slightly less than the yield of one acre of hybrid rice.
However, willow rice does not grow out of thin air. Such a plant has very high requirements for the environment. It cannot lack water or fertilizer during the ear-forming period, otherwise it will not be able to harvest a single hair.
The next plan of the laboratory is to get rhizobia on willow rice to reduce its dependence on artificial fertilization.
The success of willow rice is just the beginning. The laboratory plans to conduct similar experiments on representative plants across the country, especially those that grow in large quantities in the wild.
When these genetically modified plants leave the laboratory, the food problem that plagues mankind will be solved most thoroughly, and the farming costs of farmers will be greatly reduced.
Experts believe that it won't be long before the laboratory can cultivate plants that can be grown directly in a vacuum, giving Beiyuezhou a new look.
Other experts are trying to transfer animal genes to plants so that plants can grow meat directly to make up for the gap in meat supply.
They don't know yet that insect trees have always been an important food source for aliens.
The research team will also conduct similar experiments on other food crops and various fruits and vegetables in the future. Well, the workload is huge, and the research team has a long way to go. It may take several generations, but the wine pool and meat forest are not Lin I, and the prospect must be a bright road to heaven!
However, discordant voices can be heard at any time. The research team's current research is limited to food and vegetables, but some people have already opened their minds and plan to let plants grow oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. directly. For this purpose, they have also written a formal application, but this overly avant-garde application was ruthlessly rejected by the experimental center.
Humans need genetically modified plants, but they only plan to solve the food problem, not to replace light industry with plants, and not to follow the old path of aliens.
