Joyner ignored the AI asking if she wanted to continue playing the material, staring at the petri dish in shock.
There was something in the petri dish. According to the idea of normal people, it should be an experimental creature similar to the one seen before, because the calipers and mechanical arms that fix something still maintain an embracing posture. But now there is nothing in it, which is totally abnormal.
“Something… ran away?”
“Is this the product of Morgana’s experiment… Is something wrong…? But why is she… wrong, there is no way to tell the time… How could this be…?”
Joyna’s brows were furrowed, and she kept thinking about it, and there was a faint premonition in her heart, which was a strange premonition that she couldn’t even explain herself.
“Well… continue to play the data.” Joyna finally gave an order.
She didn’t want to think about it anymore, she couldn’t figure it out anyway, so she might as well just look down to see if she could find any useful information.
When the virtual reality image reappeared, Joyna was so relieved that she simply leaned on the petri dish and watched intently.
——
“It can live in almost any environment—
Ponds, streams, lakes, paddy fields, shoals and oceans…they can survive in almost every body of water in nature…what a miraculous creation…”
“…pH doesn’t matter, salt doesn’t matter, they don’t even care about temperature…
Hot springs at 87°C, glaciers at minus 70°C, they can all continue to survive… so powerful! ”
The figures in the video danced in the laboratory, muttering incessantly, and they were almost accompanied by a piece of dynamic music to set off the atmosphere at that time.
Even though most molds are not that harsh on the environment, it still has to be said that this mold found in Antarctica is definitely a monster.
A monster that didn’t exist a few minutes ago.
—Yes, this is a new breed that has just been “evolved” in the laboratory.
The members of Morgana’s research team believe that the new breed evolved randomly from their petri dishes after the genes had been selected for 38 natural times.
So, Morgana calls it tn38.
For the results of this experiment, they worked hard for seven years.
Turning the clock back to the beginning, returning to Ross Medicine’s laboratory from Antarctica, Morgana was working non-stop.
She has to find the expected answers from countless multiple-choice questions. She works hard for more than 18 hours a day, and sometimes sleeps only two or three hours. Except for eating and going to the toilet, she works in the laboratory and keeps calling herself. Chicken blood.
Sometimes human potential and desire are equally important, and the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation. Even more so for someone like Morgana.
The regenerative ability and tenacious vitality of molds and plants surpass all animals, including humans. Morgana has asked herself countless times, since they are all life on earth, why can’t human beings have the same vitality and lifespan as plants?
Although, it sounds like a dream come true.
In fact, a few months after returning from that expedition, Morgana and the researchers succeeded in discovering the mysteries of the homeotic gene.
The first phase of the study was quick and successful.
In order to prove Morgana’s theory, the researchers used the gene fragments of a specific plant as a culture mother liquid, extracted a certain mold gene from the ice lake, mixed culture, and then got an amazing discovery – non-cellular proliferation by replication Life forms, also known as viruses.
To humans, it may be a terrifying virus never seen before, but to algae and almost all plants, it’s just a powerful modification medium.
This virus can complete life activities in the host cell, replicate itself, repair and replace the host’s genes, and has strong immunity. It can not only resist the chain sclerotium fission of ordinary primitive molds, but also provides the possibility of artificially interfering with the host’s adult body. .
In short, Morgana and her team not only demonstrated the existence of homeotic genes, but also successfully created new viruses that can transform biological ecology.
The study then entered the second phase.
But now, here comes a thorny new problem – how to artificially cultivate virus-infected plants?
Morgana hopes to obtain stable virus-carrying molds and let their progeny retain the characteristics of the virus, but most molds slowly lose their inheritance after two generations. So she thought of looking for special plants.
First, it is necessary to find a mother strain that is sufficiently adapted to the virus, and then stabilize the genetic information of the offspring of this mother strain so that it can produce a new generation of virus like it. Of course, this requires a lot of experimental data as the basis.
At first, Morgana manually searched for infertile bodies in nearly 4.7 million plants through screening and exhaustive methods, implanted this virus, and after culturing for a period of time, observed whether their progeny survival rate and traits were Change.
After hundreds of days of trying, they found that this method was too slow.
After preliminary calculations, it takes at least fifty years for manual screening and stabilization to obtain results. Based on this calculation, the military’s requirements cannot be fulfilled at all.
Out of necessity, Morgana must find a new way.
Coincidentally, during this period of time, something important happened in the world—
The Planetary Council suddenly decided to launch a huge new program called “Project Titan” in the near future.
For some unknown reason, the “Titan Project” merged the original space research projects, and now involves hundreds of broader and more heavyweight new projects, including biology, aerospace engineering, super energy, medicine, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, etc. , covering almost all frontier disciplines.
Moreover, the Planetary Council has issued invitations to major scientific research institutions around the world, recruiting top talents to submit project proposals, and providing hundreds of billions of research funds for this purpose, setting up new institutions to supervise the implementation of the plan.
It seems that it is very urgent to gamble the fate of mankind with all of it~www.mtlnovel.com~.
There is a lot of discussion about this in the society, and many people speculate that this is due to major breakthroughs in human space research, and various programs need to be re-integrated to come up with new directions.
Go back to Morgana.
Although the Planetary Council acted hastily, the motives were confusing, and the public did not know what this “Titan Project” was, but it was good news for her.
Because she is in the plan, the new project has little impact on the research, but allows her to enjoy many conveniences. Therefore, she sought help from the Planetary Council military, applied for the transfer of a super-large quantum brain for the research project, and chartered the construction of a solar matrix system to power it for a long time.
The scientific and technological means used by Ross Medicine are more advanced, and the screening efficiency has been greatly improved.
Morgana, on the other hand, led her subordinates to use advanced quantum technology to screen mold mother plants. In the end, six infertile plants were found among the nearly five million original plants, and the genes were re-edited for them.
Dawn, little by little emerge!
