Three Hundred and Fifty Directions

Beidu, National Biological Laboratory.

Professor Qin stepped into the experimental area, pushed his glasses, and found the familiar figure in a white coat: "Xiaoting!"

"Grandpa? Why are you here?" Bai Xiaoting raised her head in astonishment, staring at her bloodshot eyes like a startled little white rabbit.

"Come and see you." Professor Qin lovingly stroked his granddaughter's hair, "You haven't been back for three days.

Bai Xiaoting squeezed out a wry smile: "Everyone is working overtime recently, I can't leave..." The experiment has reached the most critical moment, and colleagues in the laboratory work overtime and forget to eat and sleep. How can she be an exception?

"Then pay attention to your body." Professor Qin sighed distressedly, "How did it turn out?"

A trace of sadness hung on Bai Xiaoting's haggard face: "The result was very bad."

The experimental group she belongs to researches on the giantization of fish!

The reason why this topic arises is because of the influence of giant shrimp, hoping to make the sea fish giant!

Not only is the area of ​​the ocean much larger than that of the land, but also its resources are much more abundant than that of the land. If a giant sea fish can be cultivated, it will have extremely great practical significance for hungry humans.

In order to achieve this goal, the laboratory imitates the giantization process of insects, and infects various fish eggs with puffing viruses, hoping that a certain fish will appear giant individuals like insects, which is currently the only mature biological giant plan.

Professor Qin asked curiously: "Failed again?"

"Yes." Bai Xiaoting nodded, "One hundred and twenty groups of fish eggs, one hundred and two groups successfully hatched, and only forty-seven of the more than one thousand juvenile fish showed signs of giantization..."

Professor Qin's eyes lit up: "The ratio is not bad, it's about the same as the ratio of giant insects."

"But none of them can grow up!" Bai Xiaoting suddenly exploded and yelled out of control, "They died when they grew, and now there are only seven left, and there are only seven left! Why can giant insects grow up? Fish just don’t grow big?”

Everyone in the laboratory looked at this side, but the eyes in everyone's eyes were not sympathy or contempt, but deep helplessness and empathy.

The members of this research group are all from the younger generation, and the giantization of fish itself is not an important experiment. The real masters of biology are all concentrated in the research group of insects.

Bai Xiaoting suddenly grabbed Professor Qin's sleeve,

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he said coquettishly: "Grandpa, please help us!" With the research results of giant ant pheromones, Professor Qin has become a leader in ant research and one of the top biological experts in China. one.

With such a master by her side, how could Bai Xiaoting let her go?

Professor Qin saw through Bai Xiaoting's intentions at a glance, and stretched out his finger to poke Bai Xiaoting's forehead: "You ghost girl!"

The exposed Bai Xiaoting smirked, and hurriedly brought a stack of experiment records.

Professor Qin shook his head helplessly: "You damn girl, do you want to exhaust my old man to death? Tell grandpa, how did your precious bumps die?"

"Flesh and bone don't fit together." Bai Xiaoting said immediately, "The fish bones grow too fast. Before the fish grows up, the fish bones will burst the fish."

Professor Qin pondered for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "Girl, in fact, I have always opposed the experiment of fish giantization."

"Grandpa?" Bai Xiaoting looked at Professor Qin in shock, her face full of astonishment.

In the laboratory, a needle could be heard in an instant, and everyone stared blankly at Professor Qin.

Professor Qin patted Bai Xiaoting on the shoulder, looked around, raised his voice and comforted loudly: "It's not your fault, but the puffing virus itself. Have you ever thought about why only insects and crustaceans have giant creatures in nature? , while humans, birds, fish, reptiles, etc. did not gigantic?"

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by Professor Qin, and they listened intently to Professor Qin's speech.

Professor Qin took a breath and continued: "Obviously, this is a virus that only works on insects, or shellfish. It is very undesirable to apply this virus to fish!"

"Then, is there no hope for our experiment?" A researcher said unwillingly, "Those juvenile fish are clearly showing signs of gigantism!"

"But they don't grow up, that's the point." Professor Qin said, "At present, we know too little about puffed viruses, so we can only experiment with the simplest method of infection. If we can figure out the genes of puffed viruses, Going a little further to find out how the puffing virus makes organisms gigantic, we can carry out targeted in-depth research, and even separate the gene fragments that play a role in puffing, and directly insert them into the genes of other organisms, so as to realize the giantization of non-crustaceous organisms .”

When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads in unison.

Although they are the best among the younger generation, genetics is too profound. It is not difficult to find out the genome of puffing virus, but how to find out the gene fragments that play a role in puffing is difficult!

You must know that all major biological laboratories around the world are deciphering the genetic code of the puffed virus, but so far, no laboratory or individual has claimed to have made a breakthrough, let alone actual research results.

So many top biologists can't do things, how can these newbies do it?

Professor Qin saw that everyone was very depressed, and Bai Xiaoting burst into tears, and couldn't help sighing: "Actually, your thinking is right, but the research direction is biased."

"Grandpa!" Bai Xiaoting wiped her eyes, "Don't be a fool."

"There are plenty of crustaceans that can eat, so why focus on fish?" Professor Qin asked, "Why don't you find a kind of insect that is suitable for gigantism, has a lot of meat and a gentle temperament as an experimental product?"

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't speak.

Professor Qin said again: "I know that your idea is to use marine resources, but there are already enough giant crustaceans in the sea, and it is meaningless to add one more, but how useful is it to have one more giant sea fish? ? Conversely, the utilization of terrestrial resources is still blank..."

"I thought of it!" Bai Xiaoting jumped up suddenly, cheerful like a bunny, "Snail, we can raise snails!"

After everyone listened, the depressed mood was swept away.

Anyone who understands this stuff knows that snails have a wide range of recipes and are not difficult to raise. Moreover, snails are a world-famous delicacy. They are listed as four famous dishes in the world together with shark fin, scallops and abalone. They have a long history of breeding. After the giantization is completed, an industry can be formed quickly, and one can be harvested after feeding one.

In contrast, even if the fish succeeds in giantizing, they have to be put into the sea to grow up, and the loss during the growth process should not be too large, and it is hard to say whether they can even be harvested.
