Chapter 638 Desert farming? This can be!

"As everyone knows, I am a genetic scientist who can produce cream of the crop in the whole world, no one!"

"The human genetic map was developed by me. The gene chip technology was developed by me. . A new generation of gene editing technology, I developed. Gene targeting technology, I developed!"

"I used gene technology to conquer cancer!"

"I Using genetic technology, we conquered AIDS!”

“I used genetic technology to develop anti-aging medicine!”

“Now, I use genetic technology to develop new marine crops, Realizing ocean farming, isn't this as it should be by rights?"

"You're welcome, no one understands genetic technology better than me!"

"even more How , in the genetic improvement of macroalgae, I just changed the nutrient storage mechanism of macroalgae, let it store nutrients in the leaves, and did not change its essence, it is still the original macroalgae."

"This is essentially no different from the grafting technology and hybrid technology that we have used for thousands of years!"

"Netizens who do not understand the complete truth, please look at the problem calmly and rationally. ."

"If my technology is really wrong, then...why don't they resist anti-cancer medicine? Why don't they resist AIDS treatment medicine? Why don't they resist anti-aging medicine?"

"Why are they boycotting my ocean farming technology? Think about it carefully, what are the benefits of this technology to us, and what are the disadvantages to them, you will understand!"

"Is China using it? To 7% of the world's arable land, to feed the world's 1/4/2022 population. This is not pride, but heavy pressure!"

"Food strategic security has always been a must for us. The first major event we face. Once the ocean farming technology is popularized, we will no longer worry about food security.”

“Whether it is natural disasters, geological disasters, or even wars, it is impossible to Affect our food security. Even if the ocean becomes a battlefield, don't we still have many saltwater lakes?"

"As for the safety of macroalgae, let's put it this way! After the macroalgae is planted, I will Everyday all eat macroalgae. And...I have eaten macroalgae now, and it tastes good."

"The rich gelatin protein contained in macroalgae crops can make your skin more elastic. The rich trace elements contained in macroalgae are beneficial to the human body. Very helpful. This is a staple food that is better than rice and flour!"

"Finally, remember one sentence: imperialism will kill me! The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires the joint efforts of you and me! "

Lu Li's tough response made a thousand waves!

"Professor Lu is mighty and domineering!" "

"No one understands genetics better than me!" Understand Wang Gan's downfall! "

"This sentence, I understand Wang is a joke, what Professor Lu said is the truth! "

"Professor Lu is a scientist of cream of the crop in the whole world, not just a genetic scientist, but... no one!" "

"Professor Lu's Great Accomplishment will surely shine in the annals of history!" "

"Seriously, there are still people who don't believe in Professor Lu's technology?" Are there any more powerful scientists in this world than Professor Lu? Do those slanderers have brain issues? "

"You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep!" It's not that they don't believe in Professor Lu's technique, but they deliberately smear and slander it. "

"Professor Lu was sprayed! brothers, what are you waiting for? fighting! Beat those penny dogs! ”

“Today, our generation rises up, swept away the demon atmosphere, and looked at it honestly!” ”

Compared to those so-called public knowledge, Lu Li’s reputation is many times higher, and his appeal is countless times stronger.

When Lu Li’s blog post was published, countless Netizens followed up one after another and spontaneously became the warrior under Lu Li, fighting against the public known on the Internet.

In a short time, the whole network was a sensation!

Professor Lu angered the public known, It has attracted countless people to participate in the war, sprayed those famous people with blood, stepped on the ground and thumped!

The action of the Supervision Section of the Internet public opinion is faster, and they go to the door to check the water meter directly!

It's just that... many so-called public officials are no longer Chinese!

They are already nationals of other countries, and they are leading US dollar bills to make troubles on the domestic network, deliberately distorting the facts and creating negative feelings Public opinion.

In an online war caused by Lu Li, the publicists were sprayed with shit, their reputations became stinky, and they could no longer make waves.

……………………

Although the improvement of macroalgae technology has been successful, it will take some time to fully promote it.

This is mainly because the number of seeds is not enough Problem.

The number of macroalgae spores improved by gene editing technology is limited after all. Compared with the spores produced by natural macroalgae reproduction, it is several orders of magnitude worse.

One strain The spores of macroalgae that reproduce normally are calculated in billions.

Under the natural conditions of the ocean, most of these spores are eaten by fish, and only a few can fall on the seabed and take root. Germination.

If artificial cultivation is used, it will only take a year to multiply numerous strains of macroalgae, and when the time comes, they will be able to farm in the vast Sea Territory.

Especially in the islands and reefs of the Southern Sea, it is most suitable to grow macroalgae.

It is difficult for the garrison warriors who guard the islands and reefs to be self-sufficient on the islands and reefs. Especially some islands and reefs lack fresh water , everything is supplied by fleet.

If macroalgae are planted near islands and reefs, the equivalent to fruit can be eaten raw, and even juice can be directly squeezed as water to drink. Sun-dried and cooked, it is food.

With this crop, the garrison troops on the islands and reefs can be fully autonomous, which solves a lot of logistical supply pressure.

Don't say that you are tired of eating, this thing is cooked and eaten , the taste is just like eating, and no one will get tired of eating.

Apart from this, macroalgae planting technology is also important in the western region.

The land in the western region is barren, Food production is low. Many of the supplies come from blood transfusions from the mainland.

The arid and water-deficient western region lacks fresh water, but there are still many saltwater lakes.

Qinghai Lake, Jasper Lake, Ulungu Lake, Namtso, Selincuo, these are the five largest saltwater lakes in my country, all in the western region.

These saltwater lakes add up to almost 20,000 square kilometers. Once macroalgae were grown in the Western Lagoon, the yields were frighteningly high.

Lu Li is very satisfied with the new macroalgae he has developed.

It's just...the biggest problem in the western region is not the problem of grain output, but the desert!

my country's desert area is 1.7 million square kilometers, accounting for almost one-fifth of the country's land area.

What netizens said was that Professor Lu was going to farm in the desert, and Lu Li naturally saw it too.

Lu Li really wanted to say about farming in the desert...the concubine can't do it!

It is too difficult to farm in the desert.

What kind of crops can be grown in the desert?

Lu Li shook the head with a wry smile.

Lu Li felt the weight of these comments from netizens. This is what people hope for me. People expect me to do miracles.

The great significance of desert greening goes without saying.

Unfortunately, with Lu Li's current knowledge, this problem cannot be solved at all.

Even the most drought-tolerant plant in the world, Populus euphratica, cannot meet the requirements and cannot green the desert at all.

How to keep life alive in the forbidden zone of life?

Lu Li let out a long sigh, at least I can't solve this problem yet.

Even if Lu Li tried to show off his strength and called the wind and summon the rain in the desert...call the wind and summon the rain, he still had to talk about science! Water vapor is scarce, and you call the wind and summon the rain!

Of course, this is still not enough realm.

If Lu Li is so strong that he can directly capture the water vapor from the ocean and drag it to the northwest desert for rainfall, then all problems will be solved.

If science can't fix it, use metaphysics!

Lu Li laughed and shook the head, then it might as well come directly to Spiritual Qi to revive... Huh? etc!

From Spiritual Qi's recovery, Lu Li suddenly had a hint of inspiration.

At the beginning, in the martial arts plot, Lu Li studied the "spirit root gene" very thoroughly.

The spirit root gene is essentially a plant-based gene similar to photosynthesis. It was an accident of Wen Wan's sister that Lu Li discovered the existence of this gene.

If...if this gene is created on plants, photosynthetic proteins and nutrients can be produced by absorbing light radiation, wouldn't it greatly improve the survival ability of desert plants?

The spirit root gene itself is a kind of gene similar to photosynthesis, which can be edited and modified on the photosynthesis gene of the plant itself.

In any case, plants have no human rights. Then try it!

Thinking of this, Lu Li thought and opened the virtual laboratory.

"Virtual desert environment!"

With an order, the vast Gobi desert and the vast sea dunes appeared in the virtual laboratory.

"Virtual desert plants."

Next moment, on the Manggobi Desert, on the side of the Hanhai sand dunes, a variety of drought-tolerant desert plants grow.

Populus euphratica, Mongolian leek, camel thorn, apocynum, jujube, Hexi chrysanthemum, four-winged quinoa, Haloxylon ammonium, naked fruit tree, immortal palm... There are dozens of desert plants.

Lu Li took a branch of Populus euphratica and virtualized the genetic laboratory.

Sitting in front of the experimental bench, Lu Li reached out and touched the branches of Populus euphratica, his consciousness penetrated deep into the branches, entered a microscopic state, and analyzed the genetic information of Populus euphratica.

After finding the photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica, Lu Li took a Populus euphratica seed and installed it on the test bench to prepare for gene editing experiments.

The samples of spirit root gene can only be taken from Lu Li himself.

A drop of Lu Li's own blood was virtualized, and a fragment of the spirit root gene was extracted on the genetic test bench. Lu Li also used gene editing technology to combine this fragment of the spirit root gene into the seed of Populus euphratica. in genes.

In this step, Lu Li thought of two options. First, the photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica was directly replaced with the spirit root gene. second, connect the spirit root gene and photosynthesis gene in tandem.

Soon, Lu Li made all the Populus euphratica seeds for gene editing with the two schemes.

Picking up two seeds, Lu Li walked into the virtual desert environment, found a random place, and threw the two seeds in the desert.

No watering! Expose the seeds directly to the sun.

With the spirit root gene, it can directly absorb light radiation to generate photosynthetic protein and convert it into nutrients. Can it grow without water?

Actually... not!

In the accelerated virtual time lapse in the virtual laboratory, the two gene-edited Populus euphratica seeds showed no sign of rooting at all.

Well, in the end, it still can't go against the sky!

Seed germination requires sunlight, breathing oxygen, absorbing water, and providing it with a certain temperature. This is a necessary condition.

Lu Li laughed, reached out and beckoned, imagining a stream of water and pouring it on two seeds.

Because it is a desert, water loss is very fast. Lu Li could only wait aside and continue watering the two seeds every once in a while.

Slowly, the two seeds absorb water and swell, the spores inside begin to germinate, and the vitality is blooming.

Both seeds sprouted!

Lu Li waved his hand, "Virtual Time Acceleration!"

In the virtual Time Acceleration, two seeds naked eye visibly took root and sprouted.

And then... a seedling from a seed soon dies.

This is the seed where Lu Li replaced the photosynthesis gene with the spirit root gene. As soon as the seedlings were born, they died immediately.

Replacing the photosynthetic gene with the spirit root gene simply doesn't work.

Lu Li shook the head and focused on the other seedling.

In this seedling, Lu Li connected the spirit root gene and the photosynthesis gene in series. There are both photosynthesis genes and spirit root genes, both of which work at the same time.

This seedling is growing well.

The growth rate far exceeds the normal Populus euphratica.

The normal growth rate of Populus euphratica is very slow, it can grow for more than a thousand years. Now this Populus euphratica seedling is growing significantly faster.

This is because of the spirit root gene.

Even in a barren desert, even if it cannot absorb nutrients, and the existence of the spirit root gene, the sun can obtain nutrients.

Lu Li found that the spirit root gene is very compatible with photosynthesis!

We know that photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb sunlight, convert carbon dioxide and water into organic matter, and release oxygen.

The spirit root gene, absorbs light energy and produces photosynthetic proteins. Photosynthetic proteins need to absorb oxygen for oxidation to generate biochemical energy.

So... Populus euphratica is self-sufficient!

Oxygen generated by photosynthesis is absorbed by the photosynthetic protein generated by the spirit root gene, converted into bioenergy, and integrated into the plant cells of Populus euphratica to accelerate the growth of Populus euphratica.

In this way, Populus euphratica's demand for land has become polar, and it hardly needs to absorb fertilizer, and it can grow as long as it is exposed to the sun.

But...it still needs water.

Although the demand for water has been greatly reduced, Populus euphratica still needs water to participate in photosynthesis when it performs photosynthesis.

That's not a bad thing!

The nutrients and energy generated by the spirit root gene and photosynthesis gene provide the material basis for growth.

The demand for water makes the roots of Populus euphratica grow rapidly and go deeper into the ground. The root system has become more developed.

A Populus euphratica, planted alive in the dry desert!

The combination of the spirit root gene and the photosynthesis gene can make Populus euphratica completely free from the need for soil fertility. It only needs to bask in the sun and take root in the ground to absorb part of the water used for photosynthesis.

It does not need water as a transport tool to deliver nutrients to cells! The biochemical energy produced by the spirit root gene directly penetrates into every cell of Populus euphratica.

This new Populus euphratica, the wooden structure will be terrifying densely, comparable to steel.

Looks like...you've come up with something amazing!
