Chapter 497 Approaching Science and Making Spirit RootIs this gene related to photosynthesis?
At this moment, Lu Li thought of the mutant genes in mutants.
When studying mutant human genes, Lu Li discovered that mutant humans possess a gene segment similar to photosynthesis, which can absorb radiation energy.
Now, Ms. Wen Wan has discovered a gene fragment similar to photosynthesis?
“Where are the cell test results?”
Lu Li hurriedly asked Ms. Wen Wan.
"Here."
Sister Wen Wan turned on the computer on the test bench and dropped out the experimental report of the cell test.
Lu Li hurriedly stepped up and read the experimental report carefully.
In the experimental report, Lu Li saw that cells with this plant gene segment will absorb light radiation when exposed to sunlight to generate a brand new protein molecule.
It's very different from photosynthesis, but...the principles are surprisingly similar.
Just as mutants can absorb nuclear radiation, cells with this plant-based gene segment can absorb light radiation and produce a new type of protein.
This is energy absorption!
Descriptions such as "absorbing Sun and Moon Essence, swallowing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi" floated in Lu Li's mind.
Could it be that this thing is the "spirit root" necessary for cultivation?
"Where did this specimen come from? How did the invalid gene fragment wake up?"
A flash of urgency flashed in Lu Li's eyes, and he hurriedly asked Sister Wen Wan.
"This..."
The gentle girl blushed and lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little sorry.
"What's the matter? Tell me now!"
Lu Li couldn't understand why the Wenwan girl suddenly became shy. What the hell are you shy?
"Auntie!"
The gentle girl's voice was as low as a mosquito.
“What?”
Lu Li was stunned. Can your aunt perform photosynthesis? Are you afraid that you are not a fairy? Demon, why don't you show your true form?
"I...the aunt's towel I changed yesterday, accidentally threw it on the electric stove, and...the short circuit caught fire."
Wen Wan's head was lowered to her chest .
Aunt towel thrown on the stove? How unrestrained are you? Are you still practicing shooting while changing your aunt's towel?
And...why short-circuit? The amount is so large that the aunt's towel can conduct electricity?
It's terrifying!
And one last question, how did you even think of taking this thing for genetic testing?
Where is your research direction?
Why do I feel like I don't know how to complain? Well, this kind of shit doesn't need to go into the details.
Lu Li's mouth fiercely twitched a few times.
Took a deep breath, Lu Li calmed down the strange feeling in his heart, and asked the Wenwan girl: "Have you repeated the experiment? Can you wake up the invalid gene again?"
"I...I haven't had time to repeat the experiment."
Sister Wen Wan's face was red with blood, "I...I saw this gene fragment...I was scared! teacher, Will I be genetically mutated? I won't become a monster, right?"
"Bring me a tube of blood, and I'll test your genes."
Lu Li Chaowen Sister Wan waved her hand.
"Okay! Thank you teacher!"
Wen Wan thanked her, turned around and went out, ready to get blood.
"Hey, wait!"
Lu Li suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped Wen Wan and added: "Just take blood normally! Don't need an aunt! "
"Uh..."
Sister Wen Wan's face turned redder, and she hurried out with her head down.
A moment later, Ms. Wen Wan took a tube of blood samples and returned to the laboratory.
Lu Li took the blood sample and observed it under the electronic Microscope.
The gene is normal.
The invalid plant gene segment did not reawaken.
"Your genes are normal."
Lu Li glanced at the Wenwan girl and said, "Don't worry, you haven't become a monster."
"That's good! That's good!"
The gentle girl let out a long hiss.
"Why are you worried that you will become a monster?"
Lu Li turned his head and looked towards the gentle girl, his face became serious, "Also, why are you testing yourself? My aunt? It's impossible for normal people to have this idea, right?"
"This..."
A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Wenwan girl, her face darkened, " I'm...I'm...I'm a gene-edited baby!"
"Gene-edited baby?"
A look of shock flashed across Lu Li's eyes, "What's going on? How did someone do it? This kind of experiment? It's illegal!"
Since the He Jiankui incident, has anyone else dared to do such a thing? Do you still have the conscience of being a scientist?
"My dad did the gene editing, and he is also a genetic biologist."
Wen Wan showed a bitter smile to Lu Li, "Back then, my dad had Marfan syndrome. , in order to avoid inheriting it from me, I used gene editing technology to edit and modify the embryonic cells. So..."
so that's how it is!
Lu Li nods, showing some sympathy for the Wenwan sister, comforted: "Don't worry, I am a genetic scientist of the cream of the crop in the whole world. I assure you that your genes are not abnormal. , you're not a monster!"
"Thank you teacher!"
Two lines of tears rolled out of Wen Wan's eyes.
"You go back to rest first. I have to study this fragment of genetic information."
Lu Li was about to open the virtual laboratory and sent the gentle girl away first. go out.
"Okay!"
Wen Wan wiped her tears, "teacher, I'll go first."
"en!"
p>Lu Li nominates.
After Ms. Wen Wan left, Lu Li sat at the desk in the laboratory and opened the system interface with a thought.
In reality, there's one more step missing to enable a virtual lab.
The virtual lab is still a plot plug-in and can only be used in the virtual plot. To be used in reality, it does not have to be exchanged.
The exchange price is not cheap, but fortunately, Lu Li can also afford it!
When the Scientist storyline started, it was still the D-Rank storyline. Lu Li now has a large collection of C-Rank badges that can be exchanged for virtual labs into reality.
"Redeem the virtual lab!"
With an order, the C-Rank badge of honor on the system interface is instantly deducted by 50, equivalent to 500 C-Rank achievement badges , also equivalent to fifty thousand D-Rank achievement badges.
"Virtual lab redemption completed!"
A rays of light flashed, and Lu Li's consciousness was connected to a virtual space.
Perceiving this virtual space, Lu Li suddenly found...this thing is a bit similar to virtual reality technology!
After shaking his head, Lu Li didn't care about the principle of the virtual laboratory, and immediately opened the virtual laboratory.
"Virtual genetic laboratory!"
With a thought, a genetic laboratory with complete equipment appeared in front of Lu Li's eyes.
"Virtual Wenwan!"
Lu Li is going to give Wenwan a body check, um... a purely scientific check.
A rays of light flashed, and a gentle experimental human body appeared in front of Lu Li.
First took a tube of blood from Wen Wan, and Lu Li virtualized a genetic testing array to detect Wen Wan's genetic information in detail.
Lu Li has long deciphered the human genetic map, and it is not difficult to detect gentle genes, and it is easy to complete.
"Genetic information comparison completed."
The genetic test results are displayed on the monitor very quickly.
Lu Li saw that in the genetic test results, a certain base on the gentle gene fragment No. 104 indeed has traces of gene editing, adding the gene for immune Marfan syndrome information.
Alright! Wen Wan's father's technique is not bad, and it did not lead to other consequences. Gentle genetic information is normal and has not become a monster.
Lu Li took a long breath.
The genetic testing experiment once again confirmed Lu Li's judgment that Wen Wan's gene is normal, not a monster.
Waving away the gentle experimental human body, Lu Li focused on the gentle genetic information of the mutant aunt.
"Since the gentle genetic information is normal, all... that invalid gene segment that was reawakened may be an accidental coincidence?"
Lu Li slightly frowned, With a thought, the cells that awakened the invalid gene were virtualized.
"Detect gene information!"
These genes with "photosynthesis" will be detected in the gene detection array in detail to further determine the expression of gene information.
The test results...stunned Lu Li!
These gene fragments really have a function similar to photosynthesis, which can absorb light radiation and generate a new type of protein molecule.
This new type of protein molecule, when combined with oxygen, oxidatively decomposes, can release a kind of biological energy!
Fuck!
Lu Li couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Is this really "spirit root"? Is this really what cultivation calls "aptitude"?
Can absorb light radiation, that is, absorb Sun and Moon Essence, absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?
Compared to the mutants that absorb nuclear radiation, the efficiency of this gene is much lower, but... there is no nuclear radiation! It won't turn into a humanoid nuclear bomb!
The gentle girl is really my lucky star!
The discovery of this plant-based gene is a unique opportunity for Lu Li!
More importantly, this gene is not a foreign gene, and it does not require gene editing for each cell, nor does it need to modify its own genes.
Because it's a piece of the gene that everyone has. It's just... these gene fragments are in an invalid state, and no gene information is expressed.
What we need to do now is, how can we reawaken these gene fragments?
The operation of the gentle girl...a bit weird.
Lu Li definitely can't repeat the operation of the gentle girl, he does not have the function of having so many days every month!
See the essence through the phenomenon!
How does the gentle girl wake up the gene fragment? Electric stove, short circuit, so...the way to wake up inactive genes is heat, electric shock, or burning? Possibly also electromagnetic radiation?
No! High temperature is not acceptable!
When the temperature exceeds one hundred degrees, the meat is cooked, and the cells are already dead.
So, high temperature, electric shock and burning can be ruled out.
The factors that induce the reactivation of this invalid gene are related to electromagnetic radiation? Or is it... light?
Then try it!
Lu Li virtualized his own experimental human body, took a tube of blood, put it in a test tube, and installed it on the test bench.
Then, Lu Li irradiated the blood cells in the test tube with electromagnetic rays and strong light rays.
After a minute of irradiation, Lu Li turned off the device and performed genetic testing on blood cells.
Experimental results...genes did not change.
Is the exposure time not enough? Or are the energy levels of electromagnetic rays and strong light rays not enough?
Next, Lu Li created a series of 100 test equipments to conduct gene arousal induction experiments for various irradiation times and energy levels.
After a day, the experiment still yielded no results, and still failed to find a way to wake up the gene fragment.
Then keep experimenting!
For the next full week, Lu Li conducted various experiments under the premise of ensuring that blood cells were not killed by electromagnetic rays and strong light rays.
The experiment...still failed!
What's going on here? How did that gene fragment wake up?
I've done all the experiments I can think of, but I still can't wake up the gene fragments.
Even Lu Li experimented with the blood of Wen Wan's sister, but it was also unable to wake up the gene fragment.
If he hadn't seen the photosynthesis-like gene with his own eyes, Lu Li would have even thought that this gene fragment could not be awakened at all.
Obviously, this is the wrong direction of my research!
It's not electromagnetic waves, nor light, what's the real reason?
The heat and burning are absolutely impossible! The cells are all roasted, and the hair has mutated?
The only possibility, then, is... electricity!
Lu Li suddenly remembered that the birth of living matter, the birth of organic matter, was because of lightning.
And... There is also a saying in the culture legend of "Transcending Tribulation", all of which are to be struck by lightning!
Maybe thunder and lightning are the key to awakening ineffective genes?
No! If electric shocks can wake up sleeping genes, then... how many people are electrocuted every year? Why didn't they wake up sleeping genes?
It should be electric shock plus electromagnetic radiation and optical radiation!
Thinking of this, Lu Li immediately re-experiments.
Re-virtualize hundreds of test benches, install blood test tubes, install electromagnetic rays, strong light rays, and arc equipment, and conduct a new round of experiments!
The plant-based gene created by the Wenwan sister is obviously a household voltage of 220 volts. All, Lu Li also uses 220 volts, and the current has nothing common with each other.
After three days of experimentation, Lu Li finally found a way to awaken this plant gene.
Electromagnetic rays, strong light rays, and electric shocks are really the right way to wake up this plant gene.
It's just that...the difficulty is a bit high!
Lu Li's mouth twitched a few times when he saw the blood that was almost burned to charcoal.
In the case of burning coke, only the innermost cell can wake up the plant gene, which is not easy to operate!
Do I have to wait until I'm half-cooked before I can dig out a little cell that has awakened the plant's genes?
People have been burned to death, why do they need genes?
You can't wake up your genes without half-cooking them, and half-cooking them... People are dead, and you can wake up a hair?
This is a complete paradox, it cannot be realized at all.
It's frustrating to see "spirit root" right in front of you, but you can't get in there.
How can I wake up the sleeping genes without turning myself into coke?
There is such an impossible electrical energy in nature!
Huh? etc! Nature doesn't, but... what about non-natural lightning?
Lu Li suddenly remembered "Divine Lightning" in the Heavenly Master seal!
Haha! so that's how it is!
