Future Technology Powerhouse

Zhang Zhi exited the virtual world, it passed the comparison before and after. She already knew Xing Lan's current ability.

She is much more capable, completely replacing a canoe with a high-speed rail. After learning about Xing Lan's abilities, Zhang Zhi also had new ideas about the company's future plans.

He saw that Xing Lan had prepared several dishes and served them on the table. The color and fragrance are all complete, which can arouse people's appetite.

Zhang Zhi looked at Xing Lan sitting on the sofa, and he praised: Xing Lan is really talented, the dishes you cook just look at them, and they taste even better than those made by celebrity chefs.

Xing Lan is a child at heart, and when she heard Zhang Zhi's praise, she had already forgotten the unhappiness just now. Her little face was flushed, very happy.

Zhang Zhi checked the time and found that it was almost 12 o'clock.

Usually at this time, Li Lingqiu has already returned. I don't know what happened to her today?

He was just about to use his quantum phone to check Li Lingqiu's location when he saw Li Lingqiu walking in from the outside.

Li Lingqiu's complexion was very bad, mixed with anxiety, fear, surprise and a trace of expectation.

Zhang Zhi got up to meet him, and asked with concern: Lingqiu, what happened. Your expression is so abnormal.

Li Lingqiu said with a sigh: Due to the intensification of global warming, an ancient virus has been released in the permafrost of Siberia.

Zhang Zhi's face was solemn, and he asked solemnly: Lingqiu, have accidents occurred in which areas? Will this virus cause serious consequences.

Which cells are they invading the human body? Is it possible that the immune system cannot kill them by replacing the cells in time.

Brother Zhang, you are thinking too much. This virus is not harmful to humans or other animals. Li Lingqiu shook his head and said.

Zhang Zhi asked suspiciously: Since this virus is harmless, why did you have a complicated expression when you entered the door just now?

Sitting on the sofa, Li Lingqiu told Zhang Zhi in detail how he discovered the virus.

They are studying the establishment of Sathorn forest ecosystem at Huaxia University.

Professor Yang Bei from Huaxia University led a group of people responsible for the establishment of the microbial ecosystem.

Professor Fu Yuhua from the University of Agricultural Sciences led a group of people responsible for the establishment of the carnivore ecosystem.

Li Lingqiu led the staff and was responsible for the establishment of the herbivore ecosystem.

Li Lingqiu followed Zhang Zhi's advice, and she experimented with rabbits, pheasants, goats and other animals.

She selected samples from various places and conducted experiments separately.

Li Lingqiu sighed and said: When I was doing experiments, I found a special Arctic rabbit.

That's because the teacher who raised them asked for leave. Everyone is so busy that they forget to arrange new breeders.

The other rabbits, who hadn't eaten for days and could only drink from the sink, were dying.

There is only one rabbit and it is like being fed every day. Live very energetically.

Zhang Zhi asked curiously, How is this rabbit doing now?

Li Lingqiu said nonchalantly: Don't worry, we didn't dissect it. This is an isolated experimental subject, we will create the best living conditions for it, let it live longer, and it is best to breed a family .

We extracted its tissue cells and found that its epidermal cells were invaded by some kind of virus.

Produces a special cellular structure that resembles the chloroplasts of plants. Can carry out photosynthesis, we named him photosynthetic body.

We call this virus photosynthetic virus.

Yang was taught that after gene sequencing, it was found that it belonged to an ancient virus, and it was deduced that it was frozen in the Siberian permafrost.

Zhang Zhi also said in surprise: Animal cells can also carry out photosynthesis. This is the first time I've heard of it. I only know that some microorganisms can carry out photosynthesis.

Zhang Zhi then asked Li Lingqiu: The photosynthetic virus, besides being able to parasitize rabbit epidermal cells, what other cells can it parasitize so that they can exhibit photosynthesis.

Li Lingqiu said with regret: We use many kinds of animals to conduct experiments, including human tissue cells.

Finally, it was found that the virus only parasitizes the epidermal cells of rabbits. Most viruses in the biological world only parasitize a certain type of cell.

Zhang Zhi also has some biological knowledge. He knows that viruses only have genetic material and a protein shell.

No matter what kind of virus, after it invades the host cell, it will only use the energy and material of the cell to replicate its genetic material.

Utilizes the cell's ribosomes, expressing its protein coat. In the host cell, add other cellular structures, this virus is really special.

Zhang Zhi said in amazement: This is really amazing. It can also express photosynthetic bodies with genetic material in host cells. In addition to genetic material and protein shells, viruses can also express other substances, which is very important. research value.

Brother Zhang, I feel troubled because of this. We seem to have discovered something extraordinary. Maybe we can divide viruses into a subcategory. Li Lingqiu said in surprise.

This is a good thing. When you entered the door, you looked like something bad happened. Zhang Zhi asked puzzled.

Li Lingqiu said worriedly: Viruses are a double-edged sword. With our current technology, we still cannot fully control them.

I want to take advantage of this virus, if it can live in our specially made cells. This kind of cell has a great effect, and it can accomplish purposes that we could not do before.

It's just that the virus is too weird, and the virus mutates too fast. I can't vouch for its safety.

In particular, we want to change its state and parasitize into other cells. Artificially speeding up its mutation.

We can't do this, we need to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Zhang Zhi also agreed with Lingqiu's idea.

They thought together and said dozens of ways. They were all rejected by the other party one by one, and each method has certain shortcomings.

Xing Lan was by the side, collecting the data they said.

She interrupted their discussion, and said with an idea: I deduce based on the information you talked about, this problem can be perfectly solved by Chef Ding.

Who is Chef Ding? Li Lingqiu asked suspiciously.

Is it Ding Ling, the middle school teacher who researches targeted genes. He was rated as a five-star potential, and the two of us personally went to recruit them.

Zhang Zhi looked at Li Lingqiu and said in a puzzled tone.

Xing Lan nodded, and said excitedly: It's Ding Ling, the employees of the company call him Chef Ding. Others have entertainment during their break time, and he goes to help in the cafeteria.

Xing Lan continued: He is studying gene targeting, and he has a lot of research on this fragmented gene.

I infer from the nature of the virus you mentioned that this virus can appear under special circumstances. Possibly it has previously devoured the genes of other species.

This phenomenon is very common. In the evolutionary history of your human beings, the genes of other species have been integrated.

You can completely extract the gene expressing this photosynthetic body like Chef Ding.

In normal cells, the genes implanted into the photosynthetic body are much safer than virus invasion.

Li Lingqiu said pleasantly: Brother Zhang, Xing Lan's method is very good. It can perfectly solve my problem.

Even if there is a problem with the photosynthetic body, what it damages is also a kind of cell. If its gene mutates and cannot be expressed normally, it becomes a waste gene.

It will not affect other creatures, so it seems safe.
