The Technology Tree of Xueba - Chapter 421
Tao Shengwen heard Zhou Yu say there is a solution, he happily stood up and asked in a hurry: “General Manager Zhou, or your flexible thinking, what is your solution?”
Zhou Zhouyu said nothing and pointed to the apple on Tao Shengwen’s desk.
Tao Shengwen glanced at the apple on his desk and shook his head and said, “This method is not working. We have also experimented with fruit transplantation of Ceres Life Organizer.
Its protein structure has not changed and still produces toxic polypeptides in mammals.
Finally, fruits do not contain enough starch to provide sufficient energy for normal human activities.
Even if they are genetically modified, their growth cycle is relatively long.
This results in insufficient fruit production, and their positioning can only be fruit, and it is impossible to replace the role of staple food and vegetables. “
Wu Zhouyu saw that Tao Shengwen still did not think of the solution he was going to propose, and reminded again: “Director Tao, do you know all the apple trees in the world, through what technology is it produced?
“I really didn’t pay attention to this. Isn’t the apple tree planted with apple seeds?” Tao Shengwen guessed.
作为 As a scientist who studies cells, he doesn’t care about agricultural technology at all, how can he know the production technology of apple trees.
“All the apple trees in the world are produced by grafting technology. If you look at the grafting technology, you will understand what I mean.
The grafting scheme is the only scheme I think of that can play the role of Ceres organelles and also avoid its risks. Zhou Yu directly pointed out the method he thought of.
Tao Tao Shengwen began to understand grafting technology, which is an agricultural technology applied to fruit trees.
好 Many excellent fruit varieties in the world are produced through grafting technology.
It uses the particularity of plants to graft the branches of peaches to the trunks of pears to produce a new variety of peaches.
The wider application of loquat grafting technology is to guarantee the survival rate of fruit seedlings.
The native fruit tree has a very low survival rate. A wild relative of apple, its root system is very lush, and it is easy to grow successfully.
But its fruit is only the size of a cherry, and it is very sour and difficult to swallow.
Agricultural technicians grafted high-yielding apple stems to the roots of wild apples.
的 The apple tree produced in this way is very easy to survive and can produce large and delicious apples.
After understanding the grafting technology, Tao Taowen thought about it for a while and looked up and said, “Grafting technology can really solve the problem of fruit space plants.
We placed Ceres life organelles at the root, and grafting technology prevented them from communicating with cells. The fruit it produced did not have Ceres life organelles at all.
的 The genetic material of various fruits is exactly the same as the genetic material of similar fruits on earth, so that we do not need to carry out special publicity, and the people are completely acceptable, it is not a genetically modified plant at all.
Some herbs with hard branches can also be grafted in this way. Such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, corn, sorghum.
This is an annual herb, and as a result the life cycle is completed.
But they are too expensive and cumbersome to operate. “
主任 “Tao Tao, you are now in a state of mindset, how do you know that these plants will still be annual plants.
Most of the herbaceous plants are annual, which is mainly determined by its living environment.
For example, bamboo is a special herb. There are many bamboos in nature for more than 10 years.
The Ceres life organelles provide sufficient energy for these herbaceous plants. According to common sense, they should live longer.
Even if the space plant can only be an annual plant, it can provide the staple food and vegetables in the universe.
It also costs far less than the cost of transportation from Earth to the space base. Cost is not a factor limiting grafting options. Zhou Yu said his point.
Wu Tao Shengwen can’t think of other methods now. He also thinks that grafting is feasible, and there is no harm in trying.
“Let’s try it, then I’ll let the scientist arrange the experiment.”
Tan Tao Shengwen returned to a lean look, and he got up and walked out of the office to convene scientists to start experiments.
Grafting technology is a very old technology, this technology is now very mature.
Scientists use genetically modified high-metabolism plants for grafting experiments.
植物 The growth cycle of this plant is very short, it only takes a few days to grow from seedling to maturity.
But they have very poor nutrients and taste, and can only be used for experimental verification, and cannot be grown on a large scale.
Scientists use corn and tomatoes as materials for experiments, and began to study whether the grafting scheme can take advantage of space plants, while also avoiding the disadvantages of space plants.
Tao Taowen led scientists to start experiments. Scientists became unfamiliar with the grafting technology of space plants. After grafting, the plants died quickly.
They constantly sum up experience, adjust grafting techniques, and find grafting methods that fit the space plants.
Zhou Zhouyu accepted Tao Shengwen’s invitation to come to Cell Lab to watch new species of space plants.
When Tao Shengwen saw Zhou Yu’s arrival, he complimented, “Zhou was really clever. He pointed us in the right direction, and the space plant project is now a great success.”
“Introduce me to space plants.” Zhou Yu heard the space plant project success, he said happily.
Tao Tao Shengwen led Zhou Yu to the space planting area.
The big corn forest came into my eyes, and these corn looked special.
The corn stalks are bare and no leaves are present.
The stem of indica corn is thicker than other corns, and this stem is also divided into two distinct sections.
Occupies one-fifth of the corn stalks ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Its color is brown-red, and the upper four-fifths of the corn stalks are cyan corn stalks, which are the same color as the normal corn stalks on the earth.
There are huge cobs on the corn, which are almost three times the size of normal corn.
Tao Taowen said happily: “These are space plants staple corn. The genetic material of corn is exactly the same as that of earth corn, and its nutritional structure is exactly the same as that of earth corn.
所以 The reason it grows so much is that corn root can provide it with sufficient energy, so that the cells can grow larger and the metabolic cycle is longer.
This phenomenon is the same as the reason for the good plant growth in the fertile land and poor plant growth in the poor land. “
Wu Zhouyu and Tao Shengwen walked through the corn forest and saw tomatoes that were the size of a volleyball, purple long eggplants about the size of a human small arm, and long pepper plants that were about the height of a person.
Tao Shengwen said excitedly: “Now space plants have been so successful that they can survive without sunlight.
In the space plant breeding period, we carry out space plant cultivation, and they grow grafts on space plants to a certain extent.
Now that we have developed an automatic grafting robot, the space plant seedling yield is very sufficient.
The space plant only needs to be irrigated with an aqueous methane solution, and it can survive in the cosmic environment. “
After Zhou Yu visited the space plants, he thumbed up and admired: “The space plant project is definitely an epoch-making project. You have opened a new era of space development and will definitely be famous.
