My Life Simulator

Lu Li sat in front of the test bench.

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

Although mature macroalgae are at least tens of meters long, most 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, and human egg cells are only this large.

Lu Li took out a thin-tube suction needle from the toolbox of the test bench, and sucked out 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 fell 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 glorious image of "the teacher is omnipotent", this experiment must be successful. All... It is understandable to use the extraordinary power of the realm of heaven and man to do evil, right?

One mind and two uses.

While Lu Li infiltrated the spores with his soul consciousness, he moved the thin tube suction needle and put the spores into the electron microscope slide on the test bench.

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

While talking, Lu Li reached out and opened the electron microscope. The display lights up, showing the internal structure of the spore.

In fact, part of Lu Li's soul consciousness had penetrated into the giant algae 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 figured out the internal structure, composition and operation mechanism of the spore.

Lu Li pointed out the spore structure image displayed on the electron microscope display screen, and explained to the students the internal structure of the spore, the composition and function of each part.

"It's the mitochondria inside the spore cell. They're the generators of the cell, and it works like this..."

"It's the chain-like proteins inside the spore cell that connect to each other to form a highway inside the cell."

"These are the motor proteins inside the spore cell, and they're molecular-level porters, or drivers inside the cell, that shuttle back and forth on the chain protein highway to deliver energy to the cell."

Lu Li followed his own consciousness and observed the situation inside the spore cells. On the display screen of the electron microscope, he explained the internal structure and operation mechanism of macroalgae spores to the students.

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

"Yes! Yes! Even the structure and function of giant algae spores are so 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 so many species in the world that it is impossible for even the best biologists and genetic scientists to understand the cellular structure of every living thing.

The teacher's knowledge is vast.

Lu Li smiled all over his face, thinking to himself: I am learning and selling now, and I only figured it out by cheating with extraordinary power.

In the process of explaining, Lu Li's soul consciousness has penetrated deep into the nucleus of the spore cell, and he has seen the DNA sequence of the giant algae with his own eyes.

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

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

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

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

After the genetic information of the giant algae was remembered by the soul consciousness, Lu Li suddenly had a feeling, it seemed... I could copy this genetic information in my own cells.

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

It turns out... ever-changing is what this means?

This is a "true metamorphosis", not just a "transfiguration" that imitates the appearance, but a copy from the genetic level, essentially becoming another biological form.

This is interesting!

Lu Li smiled, his soul consciousness was detached from the spore cells in his hand, and he had no idea of ​​turning into seaweed.

After comprehending the "True Transfiguration", Lu Li gained a lot.

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

Now, my "True Transfiguration" can fully achieve the level of Druid Transfiguration.

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

Lu Li smiled and focused on the experiment in front of him.

After the consciousness penetrated deep into the spore and fully interpret the genetic information of the giant algae, Lu Li's gene editing and improvement of the giant algae was already in the mind.

Turning his head to look at Wen Wan next to him, Lu Li asked, "Wen Wan, did you plan to add that kind of foreign gene to the gene of the giant algae?"

"I've tried many kinds."

Sister Wen Wan replied, "I've tried rice, corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even some fruits. But...it didn't work once."

"Then have you tried the cactus gene?" Lu Li smiled at the Wenwan girl.

"cactus?"

Sister Wen Wan was surprised, "Teacher, you mean... use the cactus's nutrient storage mechanism to modify the genes of macroalgae so that it can store nutrients on the leaves?"

"right!"

Lu Li nodded, "The marine environment is different from the terrestrial environment. It is more difficult to bloom and bear fruit, and there are no bees and butterflies that pollinate flowers!"

"Ha ha!"

The gentle girl touched her head, "I forgot about this!"

"Actually, it is not impossible to carry out genetic modification from the seed direction."

Lu Li said to the gentle girl: "Take the spore leaf as a flower and use seawater to spread the pollen. However, in this way, it is more difficult to modify the gene editing, and there are more genes to be modified."

"so……"

Wen Wan's face was helpless, "I thought of two ideas, but I chose the most difficult one?"

"Go up against the odds! Your spirit is commendable!" Lu left with a joke.

"Haha! Going up against the odds, yes!"

The students next to him laughed together.

"What are you laughing laughing?"

The Wenwan girl glared at everyone, "The teacher said that it is difficult and difficult, don't think about it!"

Now... even Lu Li laughed.

"Okay! Don't make trouble!"

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

"OK!"

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

Such things as cacti are naturally not uncommon. It doesn't even have to be a cactus, all succulents can be used.

There are samples of cacti 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 doctoral students swarmed, and the pot of succulent plant on the table of Wen Wan's table plucked all its leaves in an instant, leaving only a bare pole.

"I'm furious!"

The Wenwan girl chopped and stomped 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 these doctoral students with special equipment.

After a while, everyone came to Lu Li with a test tube containing the genes of succulents.

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

"OK!"

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 electron 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 screen, explained to everyone, and selected the nutrient storage genes of succulents.

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 genes of succulents 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 genes of the macroalgal spore cells.

Lu Li had already deciphered the genetic information of macroalgae, and was 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 quickly moves to the position of the target gene fragment.

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

The spliced ​​and transcribed proteins are then broken down and become nutrients for the spore cells.

"The experiment has done this step, and it has been completed."

Lu Li smiled at everyone, "Next, we have to wait until the gene-edited giant algae are cultivated before we can confirm the experimental results!"

"The teacher is amazing!"

"Yes! The operation is too precise!"

There was a round of applause all around.

"Okay, stop flattering!"

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

"OK!"

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

Lu Li walked around the lab, watching everyone carefully experiment.

Compared with Lu Li's precise and quick operation, these students who didn't have the extraordinary perception ability to cheat would stumble and stumble in operation, and only one or two times of successful gene editing.

This is why Lu Li has developed a new gene targeting technology and gene editing technology.

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

"That's it! You guys experiment slowly!"

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

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 for the genetically modified seaweed to be cultivated.

For the genetic improvement of macroalgae, it is certainly not perfect once.

The main problem is... the macroalgae after gene editing and modification 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.

The nutrient storage mechanism has been changed, and macroalgae with thick leaves will also deposit a large amount of starch, protein and algal gum in the leaves.

This thing can definitely be eaten as food.

As for whether it tastes good or not, this... Lu Li really wasn't 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, greeted Lu Li and got into the car, saying, "Are you going to study new technologies in genetics?"

He has been Lu Li's assistant for a long time, and he is very familiar with Lu Li. Assistant Tian is not so prudent, and has a serious military style, and his words have 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 we be able to farm in the sea?

Well, you are the best scientist in the world, you can farm on the moon!

"Is it strange to farm in the ocean?"

Lu Li smiled, "There are also plants in the ocean!"

"this……"

Assistant Tian started the car and drove out of the parking lot. 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 grown in the ocean?"

Assistant Tian's eyes widened, "My God! How tall does it take to grow wheat from the bottom of the sea!"

"At least eighty meters, generally one or two hundred meters, and the longest is more than five hundred meters!" Lu Li answered seriously.

"Five-hundred-meter-high wheat?"

Assistant Tian couldn't help exclaiming.

"Okay, no kidding!"

Lu Li shook his head with a smile, "It's not wheat, it's a type of seaweed. This kind of giant algae can grow up to 500 meters long. I modified it with genetic technology to make it produce food."

"Let the seaweed form food?"

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

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

In the future... will men have children?

Assistant Tian shivered all over. You scientists, it's terrifying!

If Lu Li knew what Assistant Tian was thinking, he would definitely tell him, is it difficult for a rooster to lay eggs?

Lu Li leaned on the seat, but he was thinking: seaweed yields food, it's really meaningful!

Our country uses 7% of the world's arable land to feed a quarter of the world's 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 food strategic security!
