Chapter 222 Genetic Engineering II

Plant genetic engineering, as the name suggests, is the genetic science engineering of plants, which is to use artificial methods to extract foreign gene fragments and carrier DNA from different organisms, cut, splice and recombine in vitro, and then adopt a certain method to combine The vector DNA carrying the exogenous gene is introduced into the plant cell, and it is replicated and expressed in the plant cell to achieve the intended purpose of changing the genetic characteristics of the recipient plant cell.This process is called plant genetic engineering.

Even so, no matter what, plant genetic science is also a part of genetic technology, and if you want to use genetic technology, you must establish a complete and huge gene pool, which requires huge investment to achieve it, and this is without any There are shortcuts.

But fortunately, the carbonyl biological gene enhancement liquid technology that Zhu Lei bought in the mall before includes the biological gene decoding technology. After all, to make a genetic enhancement liquid, one must know the genetic code of the organism. What if you don't even know the genetic code? It is possible to create genetically enhanced and optimized fluids for organisms!So genetic decoding technology is a must.

Moreover, in addition to the genetic decoding technology, there are also many genetic databases. Although these genetic data are the genetic databases on the planet of the civilization that sells this technology in the mall, not even on their own planet, these databases are important for Zhu Lei's plant genetic engineering has helped a lot.

Although there is a huge gap between these genes and the genes of the creatures on the earth, after all, there is a comparison, and it is much easier to decipher the genetic code of the creatures because of the genetic decoder.

You must know that genetic science is not an ordinary science. Gene technology is built on a huge database. If there is no database, then it is conceivable that it will be difficult to engage in genetic technology.

And the gene decoder in the genetic enhancement technology that Zhu Lei bought in the mall can quickly and effectively decipher the genes of organisms, especially the relatively simple technology. When Zhu Lei deciphered human genes, it took a very long time. Even if it has not been completed until now, you must know that the human genetic code is a relatively complicated project. Even in the world of Zhu Lei's previous life, the major powers have not jointly deciphered the human genetic code. Completely decipher all human genetic codes.

And Zhu Lei has already deciphered most of the genetic codes of human beings in this short period of more than half a year, and has used them to optimize human genes so that now he can create genes that can extend human life several times For the optimization solution, one can imagine how many years the human lifespan can be extended if all the genetic codes of human beings are deciphered. Now Zhu Lei is looking forward to it very much.

Although until now, the genetic code of human beings has not been truly deciphered, and it will become more difficult in the future, but compared with the human beings of advanced intelligent creatures, deciphering the genetic code of plants is much simpler.

Although the gene difference between the creatures on the earth and the alien creatures mentioned above is very different, not to mention that they are no longer in the same universe, but fortunately, after more than half a year of hard work, many scientists from the scientific research center and the empire have worked day and night, and the results is very remarkable, because until now they have deciphered the genetic code of more than 50.00% of the most common plants that exist on the planet.

Although the deciphering of the genetic code is a very large technology, mainly the collection of the database of the earth's organisms, but compared with these factories behind it is the real problem, that is, genetic recombination.

Gene recombination technology is to use artificial methods to extract foreign gene fragments and carrier DNA from different organisms, and undergo in vitro cutting, splicing and recombination.But there are so many creatures on earth.And now Zhu Lei's earth plant gene bank is already quite huge, and it will become bigger and bigger in the future, and the genetic code of animals will also be added to this huge gene bank in the future.

However, although genetic recombination is very difficult, and the success rate is less than one in ten thousand, there is no shortcut to genetic technology, so we can only be honest and down-to-earth. In order to speed up the entire project, Zhu Lei also purchased it from the military of the Ming Empire. Five high-performance quantum computers have been installed. After all, without the cooperation of computers, genetic recombination is not even a thought.

Moreover, even with computers, it is still a huge problem for plants to survive and evolve after genetic recombination. At first, Zhu Lei wanted to go to the mall to see if there was any similar equipment, but Xiao Luoli told him that such equipment was already a huge problem. It is only possible for intermediate civilizations to have such equipment, but it is impossible for elementary civilizations to have such equipment, so Zhu Lei gave up his idea.

However, although such equipment cannot be bought in the mall, Zhu Lei collected the evolution history of the earth and the evolution laws of various animals and plants on the earth today, so Zhu Lei developed a set of biological evolution and evolution computers suitable for the earth. Software, although this software is still very imperfect, it can already do the most basic things now, and this software will be more perfect as the database increases in the future, and Zhu Lei knows the role of this software in the future Zhu Lei believes that he will not be disappointed.

Moreover, Zhu Lei and the staff of the Plant Gene Research Office have developed a gene optimization and enhancement solution specifically for plants. With the gene enhancement solution, it is much less difficult for plants to recombine genes, and some plants are genetically optimized and enhanced. After being strengthened, the vitality is enhanced, and it becomes more adaptable to the desert environment, and now the plants in the simulated environment inside the glass are all genetically optimized plants, and they seem to grow very well now, which means Zhu Lei's ideas were not in vain.

Although in this way, these plants are still not enough to see in the real desert. After all, how to simulate the environment in the laboratory cannot be compared with the real environment, so the next step is to bring these plants to the real desert. Field tested.

However, Zhu Lei never wanted to go to the sky in one step and complete everything directly. After all, genetic technology is a worldwide problem, so we can only take it slowly. Zhu Lei is very happy to have the plant genetic enhancement liquid now.

The main purpose of Zhu Lei's coming here today is to collect the seeds of these gene-enhanced plants planted in the simulated environment in the laboratory, and then plant them in the field, and conduct follow-up observation and record data, so that they can continue to be enhanced in the future. Aspects that these plants lack.

Of course, Zhu Lei didn't need to do these things himself, he just came to have a look. After all, plant genetic engineering is also a part of genetic engineering, and the proportion of this factory in Zhu Lei's future plans is quite large.
