Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"Well, this is a good thing~" Although it may not be able to reach the level of the lamb, there should be no problem with the level of the snow pheasant. If it inherits part of the talent of the old man, in terms of biology and medicine, Susu is the last. Lowe's level.

In Terra, even in the past Terra, such a scholar needs to be cultivated by thousands of people, but in the Star Alliance, this is something that at least 1/3 of the people can obtain as long as they grow up normally.

For the doctor and Kelsey, more than anyone else realizes that the gap is the gap between the interstellar civilization and the race that has not climbed out of the atmosphere. They do not lie in the use of energy and materials, nor in those who see It doesn't lie in the giant engineering projects that are seen, nor in those battleships, bombs and fancy technologies.

It is because of the most basic part of a civilization: the efficiency of knowledge inheritance.

The largest bed crossbow can also hit the range of a sniper rifle. For example, the people of Terra almost shot their bows and arrows to the moon, but bows and arrows are always just bows and arrows. It seems that there is not much difference on the surface. In fact, the gap in the core is hard to estimate .

They are always progressing, hard to be hit hard, hard to be hindered, just like a spaceship sailing in the universe, although slow, although insignificant, but always accelerating, until approaching the limit of civilization.

And Terra seems to be sailing on the water, it seems that it is also advancing and accelerating, but if something goes wrong, it will not only be unable to move forward, it may spin around in place, or even be carried backward by the current to the origin of departure.

"I think it's better to be more down-to-earth." When I was a girl, I felt that the control of my parents was too annoying, and when I was a mother, I felt that things beyond my control were too dangerous.

"It's already very practical, after all, I don't have a standard educational memory on hand." Lao Xia scratched his head. Under normal circumstances, children born in the colonies will go to school when they are 7 to 8 years old. If the number is too small The colony is a commuter spaceship and lives on campus for the entire semester.

If it is a colony with a large number of people, if there is a school in the local area, it is a normal school commute, which means that Lao Xia does not have any equipment and storage above elementary school education. I can go to the Agricultural College to be classmates with those students. I hope their confidence in their IQ will not be smashed to pieces by a seven-year-old loli.

"When I was young, I hated learning a bunch of useless things."

"Indeed!" Lao Xia nodded, it is true, "But, you also said that it is useless, but what Xiaoqiu absorbs now is 'useful' things."

"How useful?"

"At least after we die, she will be considered by the rescue team to be a 'human' rather than a wild animal." The topic suddenly became heavy.

"Of course, if the sun blows up, there's nothing to talk about, everyone is screwed, no one survives."

"What you said is even more terrifying. I took her back first, and those people came to ask you questions again." The little tiger rolled his eyes and took Xiaoqiu away from his arms. The old man climbed up the mountain road excitedly, and a group of professors from the Agricultural College looked more like apprentices who had finally made something new to show their masters whether they could become masters. They were happy and uneasy.

Greenskin Shipyard Phase IV

[Director, it’s bad, it said that we have wasted a lot of materials recently, and the shipyard is going to be closed! 】

Don't worry, I've already made up my mind about my next home. The clan next door is looking for Dr. Waaaagh to make a rocket. Let's join them. The spaceship is also a ship.

[However, the opposite side needs to look at the design effect first. 】

It doesn't matter, I've been prepared for a long time, it's time to go out of the atmosphere from the chaos in the atmosphere, the outer space is very clean, there are no Tyranids, and there is no imperial fleet, everything I did before was not in vain.

[It seems that we have to work harder]

...............

[Because the former factory manager was attacked by a Dark Eldar assault boat that suddenly jumped out of the subspace when he was inspecting the next-door clan, unfortunately he was killed by hundreds of star marks, so our shipbuilding business was temporarily cancelled. But as long as we continue to think, the creation of black technology will continue to expand]

After beating the scavenger repeatedly, looting from the clan... new resources were obtained to build our "Flying Grot" spaceship.

However, due to some technical problems, I still don't know how to make the engine respond to the rotation module to adjust the attitude, how to brake, and how to adjust the differential speed.

[Designer: I think we can simplify the complexity and calibrate all the engines to propel in only one direction, so that only one button is needed, and it can take off. 】

However, we still put a full four chemical rocket engines in it, very Waaagh!

And there are 4 groups of torpedoes and 16 missile launchers.

Besides, half the ship's bays are devoted to that very Waaaagh laser cannon, maybe four?

The power of up to 4370KJ is enough to beat yourself into a pile of garbage.

[Clan Chief: Why do I think this thing is more like the frigate in the boundless space next door?Me: Those are all floating clouds, they just look alike, they don’t have such a Waaaagh way of operating]

After a brief adjustment, we started preparing for launch.

Fortunately, the engine responded to our operation, and the powerful engine quickly rushed into space, but a new problem came, it seemed that it could not break free from gravity, and could only do a helpless orbital flight. After several 10 minutes of flight , the Flying Grit crashed into the sea due to exhaustion of fuel, and was successfully recovered.

The launch was a complete success and didn't cost any of the tin can pilots' lives - only problem: how do I swim back to the launch site?Otherwise, install two more oar ports on the spaceship next time?

[At this moment, you should shout: Flying Grit, go forward 4! 】

Chapter 86 Smash, Varudo

Groups of fat lumps of meat wriggled in the incubator. They looked like some kind of slug, with short eye stalks growing out of their heads, staring at mung bean-sized eyeballs. There was no fur on their gray bodies. Only a layer of gray fascia wraps the underlying muscle and fat.

Four thick and short feet grew out of the abdomen, with filamentous ends and no mouthparts, so it was unclear how it fed and excreted.

"Well, the fusion of plants and animals, this thing can't be put in the wild environment, it's too harmful." Xia Lin knew what it was just by looking at it. More often, "Do you cut plant genetics into animals, or vice versa, or just put them together?"

"Put some plant genetics together, but we can't be sure whether it can be genetically stable, and we don't agree to put it in the environment." A professor hurriedly replied, "How?"

"It's not good? It's just rough put together, meaningless, unable to photosynthesize, unable to grow roots to absorb soil and mineral components" It's not the same thing as Lao Xia's improved pasture grass, but it can't Blame these people, after all, a lot of the technology here comes from the Zerg.

Although the Zerg has the word worm, they are actually a fusion of naturally formed plants and animals.Photosynthetic wing membranes can be grown to use solar energy, and carapaces with lignin can be used to build strong shells and even biological buildings.

The enriched soil metal forms tool tentacles for drilling, processing, and manufacturing, so that they can greatly reduce their dependence on external tools and spaceships to propagate and sow through the universe.

For human beings, it is very difficult to understand a lot of knowledge and thought recording methods in it. Even after the process of translation and translation, these Terra experts are still very difficult to learn. This is not a problem of intelligence. After all, the lamb and the snow pheasant gave up after looking at it. It was a problem of thinking mode, and many solutions could not be turned over by human inertial thinking.

"The plant genetics you transferred are just spliced ​​on top, and most of them have become redundant genetic information that is not expressed, and even affect the stability of replication in turn. These several sites can be knocked out, so that the redundant information will automatically fail to enter the next cycle of development because the site falls off and cannot be docked during replication."

Lao Xia began to use the data to guide the improvement work. This is a relatively complicated simple experiment. Complicated means that it belongs to the after-school exercises on the last few pages of the textbook in the introduction to genetic manipulation in the second year of college, and simple means that it is just a college experiment. It's just one of the big assignments for the second graders to study the introduction to genetic manipulation.

It does not require that the shape of the plant be fully reflected, nor does it require that plant traits and animal traits complement each other, such as photosynthesis to produce carbon water, root system to produce protein, symbiotic nitrogen bacteria to fix nitrogen, and then in turn provide energy for cells to grow specific animal organs and parts.

It's not even asking to modify the neurofeedback model to create a wonderful thing that will drink its own water, find its own feed, fertilize the land by itself, chase sunlight and moisture by itself, and queue up for slaughter by itself.

Of course, the above-mentioned wonderful things were manufactured by the Star Alliance once, and after mastering this technology, they did not continue to research and manufacture them. After all, the Zerg has mature technology. This is the design idea of ​​their biomass harvesting insects, for the food safety of human beings. , have not been used on a large scale, I am afraid that there are some traps in these technologies.

"The plant genetics you transferred are about the root ion power pump? The cell formation is on the skin and fascia? What about the delivery pipeline?"

"In the subcutaneous layer, just near the feet, you only need to soak them in shallow water and put in enough nutrients and minerals to grow, which can greatly reduce the work of feeding. Most importantly, there is almost no excretion. material, to maximize the use of nutrients”

"Then, the configuration of the nutrient solution may be very expensive." Xia Lin looked at the scan information and manufacturing information of this thing, and complained.

"You have to process all the nutrients needed by animal cells at all levels into small molecular structures that can be absorbed, and then match them according to the ratio of nutrients at all levels, so that you can use ion pumps for active absorption. After that, you need to set up a new small molecule structure in the body. Organs that are treated as macromolecular structures will also produce excrement during the synthesis process—it’s just that they overflow from the pores and fall directly into the culture dish, right?”

"So, have you considered the contamination of the nutrition plate? Also, this thing can only grow under sterile constant temperature. Although the ratio of feed to meat seems to be good, but..." There is no economic value.

"You can't just think about the whole fancy thing, without considering the actual value." Lao Xia scratched his head, of course, because he is not a graduate student, completely groundbreaking and research work is rarely something he considers, more needs to be considered The actual application value and direction are just a little bit of their own compared to those pure pastors of existing technology.

"And the growth rate is probably not fast enough. This should be a pan crab from bean sprouts, right?" Lao Xia finally recognized the prototype of this thing.

"Well, you should start with the basics first, don't be too radical, consider knocking out the carapace sites of pan crabs, stop them from synthesizing chitin, and at the same time, knock out their growth inhibitors, and finally consider putting other The DNA of the animals is incorporated so that they can synthesize more fatty acids so that..."

You can get a mountain of meat. Pan crabs can grow up to the size of vehicles, and individual mutants may be as big as titan tanks. Imagine that if there is no exoskeleton carapace, it will become an immobile mountain of meat.

"As for the next step, it is to adjust the taste. This one doesn't look as dazzling as the fusion of plants and animals, but in fact, this is a big project." The Star Alliance has produced many such meat animals, Most of them died in the taste.

Because the taste is very strange, if you have to ensure such a complex and diverse biochemical process, you will leave a large number of various waste metabolites and amino acids in the muscle and meat, and the above will form a very chaotic chemical reaction, and More than half of them will be denatured or recombined at high temperature-what is the taste when it is finally eaten in the mouth and combined with the taste perception point of the human tongue......

It really needs a little bit of trying, knocking one by one, turning one by one, some need to be knocked out, some need to be metabolized during metabolism, and some need to be transferred to supplement. If it is really impossible to solve, you need to consider building a Industrial chain and processing technology flow to deal with.

Even with the technical strength of the Star Alliance and the combat effectiveness of its practitioners, this problem cannot be solved for a long time. Most of the time, the occasional output is pure luck. For example, a certain kind of meat mouse is used for physics experiments. I accidentally made it when I was a child, and finally found that the taste was surprisingly good.

It's a pity that this is a patented product, which is not available in Lao Xia's embryo bank. Although he still hasn't figured out why these people do physics experiments to produce meat animals. Could it be that they used mice to do radiation destruction experiments, and the result was just lucky Got there, a benign mutation emerged?

"Junior Sister Dou Miao is doing the taste experiment, and she seems to have achieved something."

"Take me to see" Facing a large group of old men pouring into the laboratory and the biggest BOSS of the agricultural college, Doumiao's whole body is not well. Is there something wrong with her pan crab?Or is there a problem when applying for funding?Or is there a pan crab who ran out and caused numerous murders?You must know that the pan crab is a pest on Terra, just like the locusts on the earth.

Theoretically, it can be eaten, but no one would eat it, and it has no economic value. However, bean sprouts belong to the kind that does not believe in evil. She has tried to train a species that is completely different from wild crabs, and has also cultivated them that can The rock crab I ate - although the taste is not very good, and the meat is too little.

The pan crabs in Dou Miao didn’t lose their sanity so much, they were just a group of pan crabs without a shell, “Did you knock out the gene of the shell?”

"Hmm," Doumiao said embarrassedly, she didn't know a few words about the complex genetic manipulation theory, let alone the equipment and operation process, but the only thing she learned was how to knock out the parts she didn't want.

As for how to glue it up or stuff it into other pieces after typing, she is completely confused—reasonably, this is not a job that a young student under the age of 20 should undertake and perform— —Learning how to knock out unwanted genetic fragments without killing the embryos is already guided by textbooks and selfless guidance from a bunch of older senior brothers.

If you were to be on Earth, twenty or thirty professors who are big names in the industry will surround you to give you pointers, and you only learned this stuff with hand-held textbooks, and you would probably have been expelled from the school. It is still low to the golden meteorite.

"Well, look, this is the right way to engage in agricultural science. Things have to be done step by step. If you don't learn to walk, you want to run away." Xia Lin praised the results of the bean sprouts, as if she didn't see that she was innocent at all. vegetable.

And the group of older students can only bow their heads and say yes, after all, the things they did were criticized as worthless, no matter how proud they are, they don’t feel that they are worse than this youngest junior sister, but the homework they handed in is full of red There is a cross next to the teacher's revision opinion. The key is that I still can't say what the teacher has corrected wrong. When it is too late to take notes, it is very difficult to say two hard words that are not convinced.

It's like a math homework. You used calculus, matrix functions, etc., and a lot of tricks. In the end, the answer was wrong, but the junior sister next door calculated it with four arithmetic operations, and was approved by the teacher. When the dog's head was bleeding, he could only lower his head and endure it.

"The knocked-out carapace gene still has growth restrictions, and nothing new has been transferred, so what about gene stability?"

"There is no problem for the time being. I only thought of this when I found out that deformed babies without carapaces may be born inside the pan crab." Dou Miao scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

"Since such deformities can be produced in the natural environment, it means that knocking out these genes will not affect the normal inheritance and growth of pan crabs. Although it is better to adjust to dominant genes, but..." But she Nope.

"Why not breed them as homozygotes? So that each generation of pan crabs will not have a shell?"

"Because it will affect the growth of meat quality and meat volume. Although the gene is not expressed or fully expressed, other parts are also functioning. They have no carapace, but the carapace is too thin and too small, and there is a problem with the secretion of chitin, which makes the carapace soft. , it will fall off soon." The bean sprouts explained, of course, if the real reason is purely artificial breeding, they will not get credits for the course "Introduction to Genetic Manipulation"!

"In addition, I also knocked out a part of the gene that supports the bones, and then my brother helped me transfer a useless segment to support, so that these crabs will not run around when they grow to a certain extent."

If you don't run around, you won't consume too much calories, and then you can only eat and not move, and you will gain weight naturally. In addition, the growth-limiting gene has also been knocked out, and you don't need to keep growing along with your body size like most crabs. While shedding the old carapace, growing a new carapace consumes nutrients and physical energy, as well as fighting due to the growth and shedding of the carapace.

In other words, this new pan crab is not only docile, does not run around, grows meat quickly, but is also very resistant to roughage. It is essentially a scavenger's thing and can eat anything. Of course, for the ratio of feed to meat and growth Speed, it is best to treat the biological waste before feeding, and the manure can also be used as a binder for soil improvement to prevent soil desertification.

"Very good, this kind of thing, you design a systematic breeding process, including the process of slaughter and processing"

"I've already done it," Doumiao replied. She studied this major to improve pan crabs, and as the founder of Terra's number one pan crab farming industry, she went back to make the old man at home admit defeat.

Bean Miao, who was born in Colombia, was ridiculed by the whole family when he proposed to raise pan crabs. For the Colombian farmer family, this was deviant and whimsical, but this guy refused to admit defeat and wanted to raise useful pan crabs. , Create a new industry of pan crab farming.

In addition to being useful in itself, she came to sign up for this major without knowing her life and death, and she also seemed to be able to openly use the school's funds to do her own things. After all, her family cut off her financial resources, so she could only use this method to raise pan crabs.

"Very good, you guys are quite old, why are you not as stable as a little girl?" Not only did he not aim too high, but he successfully knocked out the genes that should be knocked out based on the observation and cultivation of natural rock crabs. The action was not big, but a valuable genetic operation was accurately completed, and a follow-up treatment plan and aftermath plan were formulated based on his own operation.

Although the technology used is a bit low-level, this matter is like an operation. Cutting the patient into pieces is not the goal, but cutting out the lesion with the smallest incision is the goal.

"Yes, yes, we were wrong." The old men bowed their heads one by one to admit their mistakes. From the perspective of technical difficulty and showing off skills, the things they made were obviously better, and they used everything taught by Lao Xia perfectly and exquisitely. Speaking of the actual effect, Dou Miao's is the best, although she used the simplest technique from beginning to end.

"Then, Xia's Group can make an additional investment. You can improve your pan crab breeding test site as soon as possible. If there are no problems in the follow-up, you can enter the food testing environment and safety testing links."

"Okay!" Doumiao was overjoyed, thinking that he would be criticized by a group of big bosses for making such a low-level product with such low-level technology, but he never expected that the seniors were the ones to be criticized- By the way, what the hell did they do?Every face is green.

After a while, the experimental product named "Meat Crab No. [-]" was placed in front of the doctor and a group of big bosses, "Is this thing really edible?"

"Yes, I tried it, the quality of the meat is not bad, the taste is not as fragrant as other meats, at least it is edible." Dou Miao vouched for her work loudly.

"Well, indeed, it's a bit bland." There is no aroma and umami taste of crab, probably because the genes for the accumulation of certain flavor substances have also been knocked out, or the flavor substances have been shared because the growth is too fast.

"The taste is good, a little fibrous. If seasoning is added, it should be able to do it. What about the ratio of meat to meat?" The lack of taste is considered an advantage in synthetic biology. After all, the amount of engineering for later seasoning is much smaller.

"Probably every catty of meat needs at least 25 to 5 catties of feed, but there is absolutely no problem!" If the normal feed-to-meat ratio is 1:10, it is almost considered expulsion from the artificial farm, and it is almost nothing if it exceeds 1:20. Popularity value, more than 1:[-] has no economic value, and the cost of this meat will rise to the point that few people can afford it.

"Because they are all cultivated with garbage and waste, I have tried to use special feed, but it seems to be limited by the absorption efficiency of Pan crab, but the ratio of feed to meat is higher"
