617 【Plastic-1】Multicellular Experimental Organism

Since the 21st century, the waters where seafood is raised have required special filtration. Otherwise, small plastic particles will become "organic" components of the human body. They cannot be removed and are indivisible. Plastics are indeed organic matter.

.

Keeping the multicellular organisms in the experiment alive is only a small goal achieved.

Lan Ze believes that the next step is to try to use the company's multi-cell development program to design a functional organism to collect plastic particles in seawater and accumulate them into plastic sheets or blocks. These outputs should be able to become industrial

raw material.

However, he still needs to calculate whether the physiological process can be solved at low cost. But there is no rush in this matter. After the multi-cell special tool is completed, it will be just right to start the calculation. At the same time, special tools can also be used for the development of nuclear facilities.

, looking for a solution. Running the two tasks together, Mahua’s computing power is more than enough.

Lan Ze got up and looked for Xiao Momo.

He didn't see Xiao Momo until he found Zhang He's small warehouse.

His mother spread a roll of mat on the ground, and the naughty child crawled on the ground, dangling his feet, and was drawing little figures on a large piece of paper with juice crayons.

"What are you doing?" Lanze lowered his head and looked at the child.

Then he asked his mother, "What is Xiao Momo doing?"

"Picture!" Mo Mo replied loudly.

"Yeah." Zhang He nodded, "He is drawing a design."

Lan Ze lowered his head and took a closer look... Okay. The villain was drawn so freely that he couldn't tell whether it had arms or legs. Anyway, the head was a polygon, with eyes and a mouth. Maybe it was... a design for armor? Anyway, it was big.

Freehand little people are drawn one after another.

"Mo Mo, let's go, wash your face and brush your teeth with dad, and go to bed!"

"Picture!" Momo raised his head and protested seriously.

The child's mother was smiling proudly. Lan Ze thought for a while and squatted down.

"Uncle Jiang praised me today. He said that I did the design quickly and well! He also asked me how I did it so well. But I didn't want to tell him."

"Humph!" Mo Mo dismissed it.

"You don't want to know? Every time I dream, I make all the designs. When I wake up, I rush to do it again, otherwise I forget. Do you want to try it?"

Mo Mo looked up at him, then lowered his head and drew two more strokes, another two strokes, and another stroke. A large freehand little man was completed again.

He raised his pen to draw a little man, then looked up at his father.

"Oh?" Mo Mo asked a profound question.

Lan Ze immediately stretched out his hand to pull the naughty child up from the ground, put it in his arms and left. When he reached the door, he turned around and reminded: "Sister, I'll wait for you to go to bed."

"Go! You are so old and can sleep by yourself! Learn from your son." Zhang He was busy.

She was also drawing pictures, and Mo Mo's armor gave her inspiration. She customized a layer of composite scale armor for Lan Ze's twist. Each scale can be removed to expose the underlying structure. The main reason for this is

Because, it’s fun. Anyway, it’s either shit or slime. With the scale armor on his back, he just becomes the leader of the powerful slime team. Zhang·Wanmeng·Engineer·He, give yourself a thumbs up.

The day Lanze completed the multi-cell tool, the weather suddenly turned cold.

Just like normal summers in the north, short-sleeved shorts are just right at noon, and a jacket is necessary in the morning and evening. Even the sun is no longer scorching and glaring, and has become golden and bright.

On a new workstation that uses armor to make twist shells, the multi-cell experimental organism [Plastic Collection-1] that filters plastic particles in seawater was quickly designed. The overall structure is between ascidians and sponges, with a large cavity in the middle to accommodate seawater.

, the bottom is fixed on the rock plate to facilitate human collection. Physiological activities are maintained by filtering organic matter in seawater. The mesh bracket of the body cavity is simply made of collected plastic. The distribution area can be expanded by division and proliferation; there is no installation

lifespan, but not capable of reproduction.

Using electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency band to stimulate close range, the entire organism can be peeled off the rock plate cleanly. In other words, after the task in a certain sea area is completed, this organism can be completely eliminated.

This thing is essentially a ball of organic matter. It is no problem for fish in the sea to use it as food. Its digestion is no different from the bodies of other organisms. To use it to control ocean plastics, it must be cultivated to a certain scale, so at least in the early stage it is

Needs human protection.

There is a long way to go from design to practicality. Whether it can develop and differentiate normally and whether it can complete functions is one aspect; whether it can adapt to the complex seawater environment and whether it can resist various interferences in the complex environment is another aspect.

.These are all unknown.

By design, it is a harmless creature. But in fact, it is unknown how it will interact with various factors in the existing ecological environment.

All unknowns need to be investigated through experiments.

Experiments cannot be rushed. Biological experiments involving the earth's ecosystem need to be done step by step, so they may take years.

But before conducting experiments, initial cells must be created.

Lanze sent the design plan of [Plastic Set-1] to his colleagues in the company, and began to think about different routes for the development of nuclear facilities.

In fact, his experimental team members have not yet reached the stage of nuclear facilities. What they are doing now is just to make multi-cellular organisms develop into specific sizes and shapes. The size is easy to say, but the shape... this thing is not very obedient.

The biggest problem with living organisms is that they can expand when they are soft, but difficult to move when they are hard.

When soft, the experimental creature successfully expanded, but it was also easily deformed.

And the current goal is to make the metabolites into a specific size and shape... This means that the metabolites first need to be transported out of the organism. Comparing the plastic stent of [Plastic Set-1], Lan Ze felt that there seemed to be a problem with his original idea.

Among earth creatures, the exoskeletons of arthropods and the endoskeletons of vertebrates have specific sizes and shapes. His original idea had some similarities with exoskeletons, but the materials used in exoskeletons are tough and have certain

The elastic deformation ability allows the insect to shed its old shell and replace it with a new one.

Compared with the exoskeleton, the material state of the endoskeleton seems to be closer to the materials used in the development of nuclear facilities. Once it is successfully shaped, it will not be easily deformed.

If this is the case, the organism itself only needs to shrink in a certain way and break away from the skeleton in a certain direction, leaving a hard shell... Lan Ze wrote and drew for a long time and drew a lot of sketches.

He tried to think of a lot of possibilities, but couldn't decide on anything at all. So he reopened a set of calculation tasks in the biochemical editor, and set up a lot of possibilities using mathematical language.
