Chapter 626: Gene Editing
Following behind Gao Peiyuan, Zhao Baliang put on the clothes that were used to enter the core area of the real room, and after strict sterilization, he walked into the core area.
Although this real yĆ n room has always been in the flower base, this is the first time that Zhao Baliang has walked into the core area of the real yĆ n room. This is also the core of this real room.
"Come, I'll show you. Gao Peiyuan walked in front and said to Zhao Baliang: "This is what we have been studying recently. ā
I watched several of Gao Peiyuan's students busy working on the operating table, observing something under the microscope from time to time. It's a pity that Zhao Baliang can't understand what they are doing.
Seeing Zhao Baliang's blank face, Gao Peiyuan smiled, beckoned to Zhao Baliang, and asked him to look at the microscope.
This is the first time Zhao Baliang has come into contact with the microscope, and under the guidance of Gao Peiyuan, Zhao Baliang finally saw the scene under the microscope. However, he is just a layman and doesn't know what's going on.
Gao Peiyuan naturally saw that Zhao Baliang couldn't understand what these meant. Although this is a very simple thing for researchers, it is very profound for Zhao Baliang.
"What you see can be called gene fragments. Gao Peiyuan patiently explained: "These slices are different gene fragments, including roses, chrysanthemums, and orchids......
The more Gao Peiyuan said, the more confused Zhao Baliang became. What is Gao Peiyuan going to do?
"We plan to edit these genetic fragments that belong to different flowers. Gao Peiyuan said his bold idea. His idea is very bold, but it has a certain scientific basis.
Gene editing is Gao Peiyuan's latest research topic. Gene editing technology refers to the ability for humans to "edit" the target gene to achieve knockout and addition of specific DNA fragments.
In other words, humans can artificially remove some of the genetic fragments they don't like from flowers, and then add the ones they like. In this way, the flowers will be made according to the needs of humans!
"This ......" After listening to Gao Peiyuan's explanation, Zhao Baliang's whole person was shocked, "Is this okay?"
"It's possible in theory, but in practice there are of course all kinds of difficulties. Looking at Zhao Baliang, Gao Peiyuan said: "However, by chance, I found that it will be much more convenient to edit these gene fragments in nectar water." It seems that in the nectar water, these gene fragments have become abnormally active!"
"How can this be?" Zhao Baliang asked in shock. Although Zhao Baliang knew that Gan Lin's secret technique had many secrets. The nectar water produced by the secret technique of Ganlin is even more magical. It's just that he never expected that nectar water would have such a magical function!
"We're weird too, but it's true. Gao Peiyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, Baliang, in order to support my research, I'm afraid you have to give me some more nectar water!"
"No problem. Zhao Baliang agreed. If Gao Peiyuan's technology is really successful, then ...... Doesn't it mean that Zhao Baliang can make flowers according to the needs of customers. In that way, what a perfect flower can be artificially "made".
Thinking of this, Zhao Baliang couldn't help but feel excited. The most expensive "Suguan Heding" used to be more than 10 million quotations. If you can make flowers that are more expensive than Suguan Heding, it will be difficult to make a fortune!
Seeing the excitement on Zhao Baliang's face, Gao Peiyuan hurriedly poured cold water on Zhao Baliang and said, "Baliang, don't get excited yet." This gene editing research has a long, long way to go, and it is not so quick to put it into practice. ā
"I get that. Zhao Baliang hurriedly nodded and said: "However, I think this is a very useful technology, once this technology is completely successful, I believe, the whole world will be shocked!"
"Of course. Gao Peiyuan also said with some excitement: "However, this technology also has many drawbacks. Actually, I wasn't the first to propose gene editing. Many foreign scholars have long put forward the theory of gene editing, but they have not dared to implement it. First, the conditions are not met, and second, they are also worried about breeding monsters. ā
"Monster?" Zhao Baliang looked at Gao Peiyuan and asked puzzled.
"The emergence of any new species has the potential to upset the ecological balance. Looking at Zhao Baliang, Gao Peiyuan patiently explained: "Once a new species appears, and it does not have natural enemies, then the world will be terrible." Think about it, what kind of existence will they be on earth without natural predators?"
"Won't you...... Can plants dominate the earth?" Zhao Baliang was startled. By the way, I imagined that the earth was full of plants, and I suddenly felt creepy.
"Gene editing can be used in plants, and nature can be used in animals. In fact, even human genes are all double helix-shaped, and the editing techniques are the same. Gao Peiyuan said, faintly worried.
So, Gao Peiyuan added: "However, as long as this technology is in the hands of a small group of absolutely safe people, there will be no problems." ā
Of course, Zhao Baliang believes in Gao Peiyuan's kindness, and he doesn't think that Gao Peiyuan will do anything that endangers society. Therefore, although Zhao Baliang was also a little worried, he still promised to provide Gao Peiyuan with a sufficient amount of nectar water.
"Batael, thank you for believing in me so much. Gao Peiyuan didn't expect Zhao Baliang to believe in him so much.
When the two walked out of the core area of the real room, Gao Peiyuan introduced the latest research progress to Zhao Baliang.
"I'm going to put a pest and disease prevention gene into the tulip flowers, and once the technology is mature, I can spread it to food crops." In this way, grain production will certainly be greatly increased. Gao Peiyuan said his idea.
Nodding again and again, Zhao Baliang also agreed with this. For China, a large country, it is very necessary to increase the yield of crops.
"Professor Gao, I believe you will succeed. Looking at Gao Peiyuan, Zhao Baliang said excitedly: "And I will also strongly support your research." No matter when, as long as you run out of nectar water, I will provide it to you as soon as possible. ā
Holding Zhao Baliang's hand tightly, Gao Peiyuan said excitedly: "Baliang, thank you." Thank you so much. I'm glad I decided that if I hadn't chosen to come here in the first place, I would never have had the opportunity to do this research. ā
"Professor Gao, I also want to thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have so many varieties of flowers?" Zhao Baliang also said with emotion.
Leaving from Gao Peiyuan's real room, Zhao Baliang first called Yuan Min and told her that the problem of funds was temporarily solved, so she didn't have to worry.
"The person who is most worried now is not me, but Xu Yaqing. You might as well give Sister Qing a call. Yuan Min said to Zhao Baliang on the other end of the phone. Xu Yaqing stared at the construction site alone, and was naturally the most worried person.
"Okay then, I'll give Xu Yaqing a call. Zhao Baliang said on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Baliang called Xu Yaqing.
After receiving Zhao Baliang's call, Xu Yaqing felt a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhao, you called me, do you have any instructions?"
"No instructions, no instructions. Zhao Baliang hurriedly said, and then asked about the situation at the construction site.
"Now this side of the construction site is normal. Xu Yaqing said on the phone: "However, did Mr. Yuan tell you about the shortage of funds?"
"Don't worry about this question, I will soon transfer you a sum of 10 million funds. Zhao Baliang said with an oath.
Hearing that a sum of 10 million funds would come soon, Xu Yaqing was so excited that she didn't know what to say. These days, in order to save as much money as possible, she is almost tired and crazy. Now after hearing that there is a sum of money to be withdrawn, Xu Yaqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you. Xu Yaqing thanked Zhao Baliang on the phone.
Zhao Baliang was speechless for a while, and said, "Why are you thanking me? These things are what I should do." But I should thank you for your dedication during this time. When the project is over, I must give you a good holiday!"
"I'm not tired, Mr. Zhao. Xu Yaqing hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the kindness of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yuan, those children would not have been able to have a stable home, for the sake of those children, I should also work hard to report on Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yuan!"
"Those things are what we should do, and there is no need to say thanks. Zhao Baliang said with some shame. In fact, he didn't do anything, basically Yuan Min did it. Therefore, listening to Xu Yaqing's grateful words, Zhao Ba was extremely embarrassed.
Although Zhao Baliang kept saying that he didn't need to thank him, Xu Yaqing still thanked Zhao Baliang before continuing: "Mr. Zhao, I have written a complete plan for the construction of a special freezer in Huangqu Town, when you have time, I will show you." ā
Hearing Xu Yaqing mention this matter, Zhao Baliang remembered that he had asked Xu Yaqing to make a plan to build a freezer, mainly to preserve the watermelons and wild mushrooms sent by the villagers. Because wild mushrooms are stored for too short a time under normal circumstances, Zhao Baliang plans to build a freezer in Huangqu Town, so that these wild mushrooms can be stored in the most favorable environment for preservation in the shortest possible time.
These wild mushrooms are then transported away by a fresh-keeping truck. The freshness of wild mushrooms is ensured to the maximum. So that these wild mushrooms can be delivered to all the hotels of the Green Water Restaurant Group.
"Yaqing, I believe in your abilities. Zhao Baliang said directly on the phone: "After you make a plan, give it directly to Yuan Min, let her arrange someone to demonstrate, and then start construction directly, and you will have to trouble you for specific things." When he said this, Zhao Baliang was very embarrassed.
"But......" Xu Yaqing wanted to say something that she was not capable of, but when these words came to her mouth, they were swallowed by Xu Yaqing. Because, Xu Yaqing believes in her own ability, and she believes that the plan she made is perfect.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely live up to your expectations. On the phone, Xu Yaqing said to Zhao Baliang
