Chapter 637 Desert farming? This can be!

"As we all know, I am the top genetic scientist in the world, no one!"

"The human gene map was developed by me. The gene chip technology was developed by me. The new generation of gene editing technology was developed by me. The gene targeting technology was developed by me!"

"I used genetic technology to conquer cancer!"

"I used genetic technology to conquer AIDS!"

"I used genetic technology to develop anti-aging drugs!"

"Now, I use genetic technology to develop new types of marine crops and realize ocean farming. Isn't this a matter of course?"

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

"What's more, in the genetic improvement of macroalgae, I just changed the nutrient storage mechanism of macroalgae, allowing it to store nutrients in the leaves without changing its essence, it is still the original macroalgae."

"This is essentially the same as the grafting and hybrid technology that we have used for thousands of years!"

"Netizens who don't know the truth, please look at the problem calmly and rationally."

"If there's something really wrong with my technology, then...why don't they resist cancer drugs? Why don't they resist HIV drugs? Why don't they resist antiaging drugs?"

"Why are they boycotting my ocean farming technology? Think about it, what's good for us and what's bad for them, and you'll understand!"

"Our country uses less than seven percent of the world's arable land to feed a quarter of the world's population. This is not pride, but heavy pressure!"

"Strategic food security has always been our top priority. Once ocean farming technology is popularized, we will no longer worry about food security."

"Neither natural disasters, geological disasters, or even wars can affect our food security. Even if the ocean becomes a battlefield, don't we still have many saltwater lakes?"

"As for some people who are concerned about the safety of macroalgae, let's put it this way! After the macroalgae is planted, I eat macroalgae every day. And...I have eaten macroalgae now, and it tastes good."

"The rich glial protein contained in macroalgae crops can make your skin more elastic. The rich trace elements contained in macroalgae are very beneficial to the human body. It is a staple food of higher quality than rice and flour!"

"Finally, remember one sentence: imperialism will never die! The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires the joint efforts of you and me!"

Lu Li's tough response caused a thousand waves!

"Professor Lu is mighty and domineering!"

"No one understands genetic technology better than me! I understand Wang Gan's downfall!"

"I understand what Wang said is a joke, but what Professor Lu said is a fact!"

"Professor Lu is the top scientist in the world, not just a genetic scientist, but... no one!"

"Professor Lu's great achievements 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? Are those who slander and slander their brains flooded?"

"You can never wake up a person who pretends 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? Fight! Beat those cent dogs!"

"Today, my generation rises up, swept away the demon atmosphere, and looked at it rightly!"

Compared with the 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 posted, countless netizens followed suit and spontaneously became soldiers under Lu Li's command, fighting against the public on the Internet.

For a while, the whole network was a sensation!

Professor Lu angered the public officials, causing countless people to participate in the war, spraying the public officials with blood, stepping on the ground and beating!

The online public opinion supervision department acts faster, and directly checks the water meter at the door!

It's just... a lot of so-called public officials are no longer Chinese!

They are already nationals of other countries. They are leading US dollar bills to make trouble on the domestic Internet, deliberately distorting the facts and creating negative public opinion.

In an online war triggered by Lu Li, the public officials were sprayed with shit, and 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 for it to be fully promoted.

This is mainly the problem of insufficient seed quantity.

Macroalgae spores modified with gene editing technology are, after all, limited in number. Compared with the spores generated by the natural reproduction of natural macroalgae, it is several orders of magnitude worse.

The spores of a 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 to the bottom of the sea and take root and sprout.

If artificial cultivation is used, it will only take one year to breed numerous giant algae strains, and then they will be able to farm in the vast seas.

Especially in the islands and reefs of the South China Sea, it is the most suitable for growing macroalgae.

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

If macroalgae are planted near the reefs, eating raw is equivalent to fruit, and you can even squeeze juice directly as water to drink. Dried and cooked, it is food.

With this kind of crops, 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, and the taste is the same as eating. No one will be tired of eating.

In addition, macroalgae cultivation technology is also of great significance in the western region.

The land in the western region is barren and the grain yield 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, and Selincuo are the five largest saltwater lakes in my country, all of which are located 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.

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

Regarding farming in the desert, Lu Li actually wanted to say... Chen concubine can't do it!

Farming in the desert is too difficult.

What kind of crops can be grown in the desert?

Lu Li shook his head with a wry smile.

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

The significance of desert greening is needless to say.

It's a pity that with Lu Li's current knowledge, he can't solve this problem at all.

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

In the forbidden zone of life, how to let life survive?

Lu Li sighed, at least I can't solve this problem yet.

Even if Lu Li tried his best to reveal his strength and call the wind and call for the rain in the great desert... Call the wind and call for the rain, he still needs to talk about some science! The water vapor is scarce, and it is a fart!

Of course, this is still not enough.

If Lu Li was so strong that he directly captured the water vapor from the ocean and dragged it to the northwest desert for rainfall, then all problems would be solved.

If science can't handle it, use metaphysics!

Lu Li shook his head with a smile, it might be better to have a spiritual recovery directly... Huh? and many more!

From the recovery of spiritual energy, Lu Li suddenly had a hint of inspiration.

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

The Linggen gene is essentially a plant gene similar to photosynthesis. It was an accident of Wen Wan that made Lu Li discover 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 Linggen gene itself is a photosynthesis-like gene, and it can be edited and modified on the photosynthesis gene of the plant itself.

Plants have no human rights anyway, so it's no problem to mess around with them. Then try it!

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

"Virtual desert environment!"

With a single order, the wild Gobi and Vast Sea Dunes appeared in the virtual laboratory.

"Virtual desert plants."

In the next moment, on the Manggobi Desert, next to the sand dunes of the vast sea, all kinds of drought-tolerant desert plants grew.

Populus euphratica, Mongolian chives, camel thorn, apocynum, jujube, Hexi chrysanthemum, four-winged quinoa, haloxylon, naked fruit tree, cactus... 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 Linggen's gene can only be taken from Lu Li himself.

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

At this step, Lu Li thought of two options. The first is to directly replace the photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica with the Linggen gene. The second is to connect the Linggen gene and the photosynthesis gene in series.

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

Picking up the 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, convert it into nutrients, and can grow without water, right?

In fact... not!

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

Well, in the end still can not go against the sky!

For seeds to germinate, they need sunlight, they need to breathe oxygen, they need to absorb water, and they need to be provided with a certain temperature. This is a necessary condition.

Lu Li smiled, stretched out his hand, created a stream of water and poured it on the two seeds.

Because it is a desert, the water loss is very fast. Lu Li could only wait aside and continue watering the two seeds after 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, "Accelerate virtual time!"

In the virtual time acceleration, the two seeds took root and sprouted visible to the naked eye.

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

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

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

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

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

This seedling is growing well.

The growth rate is far beyond the normal Populus euphratica.

The growth rate of normal 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 Linggen gene.

Even in the barren desert, even if the nutrients cannot be absorbed, and the existence of Linggen genes, the sun can obtain nutrients.

Lu Li found that the Linggen gene and photosynthesis are very compatible!

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

Linggen genes, absorb light energy and produce photosynthetic proteins. Photosynthetic proteins need to absorb oxygen for oxidation to generate biochemical energy.

So... Populus euphratica is self-sufficient!

The oxygen generated by photosynthesis is absorbed by the photosynthetic protein generated by the Linggen gene, converted into bioenergy, and integrated into the plant cells of Populus euphratica, which promotes 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 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.

It's not a bad thing!

The nutrients and energy generated by Linggen genes and photosynthesis genes 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 Linggen 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 Linggen gene directly penetrates into every cell of Populus euphratica.

This new Populus euphratica, the wooden structure will be terribly dense, comparable to steel.

It seems...that he has come up with something amazing!
