Chapter 635 Farming in the Ocean

Lu Li sat in front of the test bench.

There is a small box on the left side of the test bench, which holds the sporophytes of macroalgae.

Although mature macroalgae are at least tens of meters long, most of them are more than 100 meters long. However, the sporophyte of macroalgae is very small, about the size of the tip of a pin.

This is also normal. Human egg cells are only so big.

Lu Li took out a thin tube suction needle from the toolbox of the test bench and sucked some sporophytes from the spore box.

When the sporophyte was taken out, Lu Li's right hand shook with many traces, and a few spores landed on Lu Li's left hand.

With a light touch with his fingertips, he pinched the spores, Lu Li's consciousness moved along with it, and the touch of his fingertips penetrated into the spores.

In order to maintain the shining image of "teacher omnipotent", this time the experiment must be successful. All... It's understandable to use the Celestial Realm's extraordinary power to cheat, right?

doing two things at the same time.

Lu Li infiltrated the spores with Divine Soul consciousness, moved the thin tube suction needle, and put the spores into the electronic Microscope slide on the test bench.

"Before doing gene editing, we must first have a clear understanding of the genetic information of macroalgae."

While speaking, Lu Li reached out and turned on the electronic Microscope. The display lights up, showing the internal structure of the spore.

In fact, a part of Lu Li's Divine Soul consciousness has penetrated into the macroalgae spores in his hands. He observed closely and felt everything inside the spores.

With Lu Li's level of knowledge, coupled with his personal experience inside the spore, he quickly understood the internal structure, composition and operation mechanism of the spore.

Lu Li pointed at the spore structure image displayed on the electronic Microscope display screen, and explained to the students the internal structure of the spore, the composition and function of each part.

"This is the mitochondria inside the spore cell. They are the generators of the cell, and the operating mechanism is like this..."

"This is the chain protein inside the spore cell, and they interact with each other. They are connected to form an intracellular highway."

"This is the motor protein inside the spore cell, they are the molecular-level porters, or drivers inside the cell, on the chain protein highway. It shuttles back and forth to deliver energy to cells.”

Lu Li followed his own consciousness and observed the situation inside the spore cells. On the display screen of the electronic Microscope, Lu Li explained the internal structure of macroalgae spores to the students. and operating mechanism.

"teacher is worthy of being a teacher, it's amazing!"

"Yes! Yes! Even the structure and function of macroalgae spores are well understood, it's amazing !"

The students around were full of admiration, and their faces were full of admiration.

No wonder they were amazed.

There are countless species in the world. Even biologists and genetic scientists who are cream of the crop have an impossible understanding of the cellular structure of each organism.

The teacher's knowledge is vast as the open sea.

Lu Li smiled and thought to himself: I only figured it out by cheating with extraordinary power.

In the process of explaining, Lu Li's Divine Soul consciousness has penetrated deep into the nucleus of spore cells, and he has seen the DNA sequence of macroalgae with his own eyes.

Consciousness fell on the DNA molecular chain of macroalgae, and Lu Li began to decipher the genetic information of macroalgae.

With Lu Li's current knowledge, it is not difficult to decipher the genetic information of macroalgae after seeing the DNA molecular chain of macroalgae with his own eyes and feeling the information expression in it.

After deciphering the genetic information of the giant algae, Lu Li's Divine Soul consciousness has completely memorized the genetic information.

Today's Lu Li, the spiritual consciousness has been fused with the body, and has been completely integrated into every cell of the body.

After the genetic information of the giant algae was memorized by the Divine Soul consciousness, Lu Li suddenly had a feeling that... I could copy the genetic information in my own cells.

What does this mean? This means... Lu Li can turn into a seaweed!

So...that's what Myriad Transformations mean?

This is a kind of "real Transformation Technique", not just a "Transformation Technique" that imitates the appearance, but is copied from the genetic level, essentially becoming another life form.

This is interesting!

Lu Li laughed, Divine Soul's consciousness was detached from the spore cells in his hand, and there was no idea of turning into seaweed.

Comprehended "Real Transformation Technique", which made Lu Li gain a lot.

Druids in Western Fantasy are proficient in Transformation Technique and can turn into various creatures. What kind of bird and beast swims in fish, it can even turn into a tree.

Now, my "real Transformation Technique" can be done to the extent of the Druid Transformation Technique.

Of course, now is not the time to think about it.

Lu Li laughed, focusing on the experiment in front of him.

After the consciousness penetrated deep into the spore and comprehensively interpreted the genetic information of macroalgae, Lu Li's gene editing and improvement of macroalgae had already come to a conclusion.

Turning his head and looking towards Wen Wan next to him, Lu Li asked, "Wen Wan, did you originally plan to add that kind of foreign genes to the genes of macroalgae?"

"I I have tried many kinds."

Wenwan sister replied: "I have tried rice, corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even some fruits. But...it didn't work once."

"Then have you tried the immortal palm gene?" Lu Li laughed towards the gentle girl.

“immortal palm?”

Sister Wen Wan was startled, “teacher, you mean… use the nutrient storage mechanism of immortal palm to modify the genes of macroalgae so that Put nutrients on the leaves?"

"Yes!"

Lu Li's storage environment is different, "The marine environment is different from the land, the flowering and fruiting is relatively large, and there is no transmission of flowers. The pollinating bees and butterflies!"

"hehe!"

Sister Wen Wan touched her head, "I forgot about this!"

"Actually, It is not impossible to carry out genetic modification from the direction of seeds."

Lu Li said to Sister Wenwan: "Take the spore leaf as a flower and use seawater to spread the pollen. However, this way Come on, gene editing is more difficult, and there are more genes to be modified."

"So..."

Wen Wan's face was helpless, "I thought about two Thought, you chose the most difficult one?"

"Go up against the odds! Your spirit is commendable!" Lu Li joked.

“Haha! You can meet the difficulties, you can!”

The students next to them laughed together.

"What are you laughing at?"

Sister Wen Wan glared at everyone, "What teacher said is to face difficulties, it is difficult, don't think about it!"

"What are you laughing at?"

p>

Now... even Lu Li laughed.

"Okay! Don't make trouble!"

Lu Li waved his hand, "Go get a piece of immortal palm, succulents are fine, hurry up and extract the genes! Everyone do it once. , let's go!"

"Okay!"

Everyone got up quickly, collected materials, and prepared to do experiments.

It is not uncommon for immortal to hold this thing. Not even a must immortal palm, all succulents can be used.

Samples of immortal palms are available in biological laboratories. There are also succulents raised by Wen Wan in the office, all of which can be used for experiments.

A group of Academician students swarmed, and a pot of succulents placed on the table of Wen Wan's table plucked all the leaves in an instant, leaving only a bare pole.

"I'm so pissed off!"

Sister Wen Wan chopped off her feet, and then... cut off the poles of the succulents.

The experiment of extracting genes is very simple, and can be done by middle schools with better conditions, not to mention the Academician students who have special equipment.

A moment later, everyone came to Lu Li with test tubes containing the genes of succulents.

"Teacher, we're done!" Everyone reported to Lu Li.

"Okay!"

Lu Li took a test tube from Sister Wen Wan, took a little gene with a thin tube suction needle, and put it on the test bench.

"I'll demonstrate it once, and you'll do it again later."

Lu Li turned on the electronic Microscope, and the screen showed the genes of succulents.

"First, we need to analyze and interpret the genes of succulents to determine which gene expression is the nutrient storage mechanism."

Lu Li pointed to the display and explained to everyone At one point, the nutrient storage genes of succulents were selected.

Pick up the gene probe, inject gene target protein and gene transcription protein, and transcribe a piece of gene information representing the nutrient storage mechanism from the succulent gene through transcriptase.

Next, Lu Li combined the transcriptional protein, which transcribes the gene information, with the gene splicing protein, and then injected it into the gene of the macroalgal spore cell.

Lu Li has long deciphered the genetic information of macroalgae, and is very clear about the nutrient storage mechanism of macroalgae, and quickly found the location of the target gene fragment.

Inject the gene target, lock the gene position, and the splicing protein combined with the transcription protein will soon move to the position of the target gene fragment.

The cleavage protein cuts off the gene chain, and the gene fragment transcribed in the transcription protein is loaded on the nick, and soon combines with the gene chain of the macroalgae to reconstruct a new gene sequence.

The spliced and transcribed proteins are then decomposed and become nutrients for the spore cells.

"The experiment has been completed after this step."

Lu Li laughed at the crowd, "Next, we have to wait until the gene-edited modified macroalgae are cultivated. Only then can we confirm the results of the experiment!"

"teacher is amazing!"

"Yes! The operation is too precise!"

There was a round of applause.

"Okay, stop filming flattery!"

Lu Li waved to everyone, "According to the method I just did, you can do it again yourself."

"Okay!"

Everyone stepped onto the test bench and re-experimented according to Lu Li's demonstration teaching.

Lu Li walked around the lab, watching everyone doing experiments cautiously.

Compared with Lu Li's precise and quick operation, these students who did not have the extraordinary perception ability to cheat, stumbled and stumbled in operation, and only succeeded once or twice in ten gene editing.

This is also the reason why Lu Li developed a new gene targeting technology and gene editing technology.

If the previous gene editing technology is used, it is not bad to be successful once in a hundred times.

"That's it! You guys are experimenting slowly!"

Lu Li greeted everyone, turned and walked out of the lab.

According to Lu Li's judgment, this gene editing experiment on macroalgae must be a success.

However, to verify the experimental results, we have to wait until the genetically modified seaweed is cultivated.

The genetic improvement of macroalgae is definitely not perfect once.

The main problem is...the macroalgae that have been modified by gene editing are to be eaten as food.

There is a question of whether it is good or not!

Macroalgae is rich in nutrients, rich in potassium, iodine, amino acids and trace elements, which can reduce the incidence of colds, and can also play a good role in improving the physical strength and anti-fatigue of the elderly.

Changed the nutrient storage mechanism, growing macroalgae with thick leaves, and also depositing a large amount of starch, protein and algal gum in the leaves.

This thing can definitely be eaten as food.

As for whether it's good or not, this... Lu Li is really not sure.

He walked out of the laboratory and came to the parking lot outside the door. Assistant Tian opened the door and greeted him.

"Professor Lu, you stayed in the genetic laboratory for four hours today."

Assistant Tian opened the car door for Lu Li and got into the car facing Lu Li, talking : "Are you planning to study new technologies in genetics?"

As Lu Li's assistant for a long time, he is very familiar with Lu Li, and Assistant Tian is not so rigid and serious The serious military style has become, and the speech has become more casual.

"Yes!"

Lu Li nodded, "I just finished the experiment with my students, I'm going to farm in the ocean!"

"Uh... ...farming in the sea?"

Assistant Tian was stunned for a moment, when will farming be possible in the sea?

Well, you are the most powerful scientist in the world, and you can farm on the moon!

“Is it weird to farm in the ocean?”

Lu Li laughed, “There are also plants in the ocean!”

“This…”

Assistant Tian started the car and drove out of the parking apron. While driving, he said, "What kind of wheat can be grown in the ocean?"

"Haimai!" Lu Li laughed.

"You...really researched wheat that can be planted in the ocean?"

Assistant Tian stared wide-eyed, "My God! How tall is that? Wheat can only grow from the seabed!"

"The minimum is 80 meters, the average is 100 or 200 meters, and the longest is more than 500 meters!" Lu Li answered seriously.

"Wheat five hundred meters high?"

Assistant Tian couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Okay, no kidding!"

Lu Li smiled and looked at the head, "It's not wheat, it's a kind of seaweed. This kind of macroalgae can grow up to 500 meters. I modified it with genetic technology to make it produce grain."

"Let the seaweed produce grain?"

Assistant Tian was stunned for a long time before he uttered a sentence , "Amazing!"

You can make the seaweed produce grain, will you let the rooster lay eggs next time?

In the future...will men have children?

Assistant Tian shivered. You scientists are too terrifying!

If Lu Li knew what Assistant Tian was thinking, he would have told him that it was difficult for a rooster to lay eggs?

Lu Li was leaning on the seat, but he was thinking: seaweed to produce food, it is really meaningful!

Our country uses 7% of the world's arable land to feed the world's 1/4/2022 population!

Food... never too much for us!

Why can we eat all kinds of animals as protected animals? Because we have been hungry in history!

Once the macroalgae improvement experiment is successful, it will be of great significance to our country's strategic food security!
