The Technology Tree of Xueba

Chapter 300: Artificial Life——Dianye Dianlian

Zhou Yu received the information from Wang Xiaoxiao, and he rushed to the Spark Research Center immediately.

Just five days after the Space Biology Lab was launched, Wang Xiaoxiao and they achieved results.

Zhou Yu felt unbelievable and too fast.

He quickly came to Wang Xiaoxiao's office and saw Wang Xiaoxiao and several scientists commenting on a plant.

This plant looks very strange, it has lotus-like leaves, and the leaves hold a relatively large lotus bonnet floating on the water.

The leaves of this plant are light green with a white pattern. The shower tent is light purple, and its shower tent is much larger than that of the lotus.

You can't see the roots and stems of this plant, it seems to have only leaves and fruits.

Zhou Yu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is this plant a plant that uses ZPSB base pairs to synthesize genetic material?"

"Yes, this is the plant we created. It belongs to a completely man-made organism. Any genetic function in its genetic material is edited by our scientists.

We have prepared 3,200 sets of plant genes.

Based on genes, organisms are synthesized by equipment.

Only this plant artificially controls artificial base pairs, synthesizes genetic material and cell matrix, and only it survives, all other projects fail.

Through this successful project, we have locked the genes composed of artificial base pairs and which genes are effective.

We can fully grasp all the habits of this organism, unless it is genetically altered, otherwise it will live according to our design. "Wang Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

"I thought you would start designing creatures similar to bacteria or viruses. I didn't expect you to design a plant. What are the characteristics of this plant?" Zhou Yu stared at the plant and asked.

"General Zhou, we must synthesize controllable artificial organisms, plants and other advanced organisms, which are composed of tens of billions of genes. Even if a certain group of genes is mutated, it will not affect the entire organism.

Bacterial viruses are completely different. The genes that make them up are shorter, and their genes are not folded into chromosomes, making them more prone to genetic mutations.

We don't know yet what are the specific changes in biology using this artificial base pair?

The rash use of microorganisms from the first time will cause great harm. "

After Wang Xiaoxiao introduced his choices, he asked Zhou Yu instead: "Zhou, have you not found the particularity of this plant? If you look closely at the environment, you can understand its function."

When Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao say this, he knew the particularity of this plant, and it must be obvious at a glance.

He focused on the plants in the video.

"It just looks strange and doesn't look too strange.

Hydroponics plants are not special at all, and artificial light sources are sufficient in the space laboratory. "

Zhou Yu said that he stopped here, and his aura of light caught the focus.

There is no air in the space laboratory, and it is necessary to spend a lot of money to arrange a living system such as air. There is no one in the space laboratory. All are intelligent robots. At that time, no deployment of a living system was considered.

Zhou Yu looked at the introduction next to the space laboratory, and the environment clearly marked the state of vacuum.

This plant can survive in a vacuum environment and only needs water to survive.

Zhou Yu can directly predict that this plant can absorb water, carbon dioxide and other substances in the water, and does not need to be absorbed by air.

This plant is not important at all on the earth, and there is a dense atmospheric cover on the earth.

But this plant is in the universe, and it is the decisive plant.

Most of the stars in the universe are very desolate. A small number of planets have water, but they do not necessarily have an atmosphere. Even if there is an atmosphere, the composition of atmospheric materials is difficult to resemble the earth.

This plant can live directly in a vacuum, and it can grow and survive as long as there is water.

It is easy to develop a lunar site after the moon, but it is difficult to build an ecological circle for the moon.

It is not technically difficult to transport water from Earth and build an artificial lake on the moon.

But I want to transport the atmosphere from the earth and build an atmosphere on the moon.

This technique is very difficult and requires a complete transformation of the moon.

The main purpose of building the atmosphere is to form an ecological circle and cultivate animals and plants.

There are plants that do not need to rely on the atmosphere to survive, and the atmosphere is not a necessary condition for the development of the universe.

On the contrary, people are very easy to handle, put on a spacesuit outside, and only provide oxygen to the living buildings, which reduces the technical difficulty by several orders of magnitude.

Zhou Yu stared at the plant with a satisfied look on his face, applauding: "This plant can survive in a vacuum. A plant with this function is the best cosmic plant. If it can provide food and nutrition Material, that would be better. "

Wang Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "We can meet President Zhou's request.

I named this plant a large-leaf electric lotus, and its sucrose in the lotus root is highly concentrated sucrose that can be eaten directly.

The leaves of D. macrophylla are rich in crude fiber. Because the cells of this artificial plant are different from common foods, it is not recommended to eat this plant directly.

But the leaves can be used as food for livestock. After any cell is broken down by the digestive system, it will become basic components such as amino acid nucleotides.

These basic ingredients will not affect livestock, and people can use the meat of this livestock.

If the construction of a space farm is really started, we will continue to develop this space plant and livestock adapted to this plant. "

When Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao's words, the smile on his face grew stronger, and he quickly asked: "This plant also has photosynthesis, can also synthesize sucrose by itself, and the concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in water can continue to support this plant for photosynthesis Does it work? "

When Wang Xiaoxiao knocked on the table, the screen in front showed the process of sucrose synthesis by D. macrophylla.

This plant does not have chloroplasts, so it cannot perform photosynthesis.

But it has a kind of mitochondria designed by scientists, which can produce photoelectric effect ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ When the sun shines on the leaves of D. macrophylla, the mitochondria undergo a photoelectric reaction to produce a kind of Bioelectricity.

This bioelectricity can synthesize sucrose through a series of biological reactions, through carbon dioxide and water.

This process can convert the energy in sunlight into biological energy that can be used by large leaf electric lotus, and store the excess energy into sucrose.

"The solubility of carbon dioxide in water is very easy to handle, highly compressed dry ice and very easy to store.

The sensor can detect the carbon dioxide concentration in the water in real time and keep the carbon dioxide concentration in the water in an optimal state.

The success of D. macrophylla has made us realize the feasibility of using artificial base pairs to synthesize artificial life.

In the future, we will edit more complex genes and synthesize better plants based on the functions of the genes. "

Wang Xiaoxiao said excitedly, in the foreseeable future, he can already see artificial plants will fill the universe with human footprints.
