The biological laboratory established a new scientific research base here, dedicated to carrying out a special project.
The protagonist of this project is the female insect captured in Blue Valley Star.
"How's the situation?"
At this moment, Su Yingxue was standing in a corridor, looking out through the porthole.
It was a worm mound about 200 meters in diameter, and around the worm mound was an energy shield activated by several giant devices at the same time, wrapping it inside.
"All the best, Vice President!"
"Now the first batch of larvae has fully hatched. With the supplement of our Zerg's meat, they will reach adulthood within ten days."
"With this efficiency, we can obtain about 5,000 adult insects every month."
Beside Su Yingxue, a researcher in a white coat was reporting, with a look of excitement on his face.
The female beast is raised in captivity, and then with a steady supply of meat, it is madly laid with insect eggs. After these newborn war insects are brought to adulthood, they are harvested all at once, and so on.
In this way, the rebels can obtain key materials for at least one Vuro-class destroyer every month.
Of course, it doesn't mean that without these, it is impossible to build a Wuluo-class destroyer or a Descendant-class cruiser, but...
Why use inferior materials when there are better material options?
After all, apart from the armor processed with this thing, no other materials have been found that can withstand the attack of war bugs. If it were not for the small number, I am afraid that the resistance army would even use this thing to make the armor of the frigates.
.
At least, until now, the resistance has not been able to find a material more suitable for processing into armor than the front legs of the war bug.
Of course, as the mass production project of the War Bug advances, the fleet command has already begun planning to have the scientific research institute design an external armor and then install it on the frigate.
"Deputy Dean, there is a problem that is difficult to deal with."
"what is the problem?"
"Regarding the issue of feed...the appetite of this female insect is also too big. Based on its appetite, I am afraid that the meat stored on Canglan Planet will be eaten up in a year at most."
Speaking of this, the researcher's face, which was a little excited just now, turned into a bitter smile.
The Starry Sky Zerg's ability to reproduce is indeed very powerful, but it is not without constraints, and this constraint is energy, which can only be replenished by eating.
This is why, wherever they pass, all planets will become desolate and no longer contain any life.
"It doesn't matter, I've found a way to solve it."
Hearing this, the researcher on the side was stunned.
Of course, he would not refute anything. Although the vice-dean was very young, even too young, no one in the entire biology academy doubted her ability.
It is a very stupid thing to question Su Yingxue. In the past year, many people have proved this with themselves.
However, he was still very curious, what solution did the deputy dean come up with?
"The combination of biotechnology and genetic engineering technology was once considered a taboo technology."
The combination of biotechnology and genetic engineering technology was once considered a taboo technology?
Could it be that one?
"Vice Dean, are you planning to use cloning technology?"
"Yes, this technology is not difficult for us, but it was once considered a taboo technology due to ethical issues. But we are not cloning life, but directly cloning meat, and not for human consumption. In this case, there is no problem.
."
In fact, the concept of cloned meat is not new. This concept has been around since the era of the human home planet, and there are correspondingly perfect technologies.
However, humans are very resistant to eating cloned meat, so it has never been promoted. In the end, the related technology was even sealed for various reasons, which is what Su Yingxue calls taboo technology.
But as Su Yingxue said, if the food object is the female insect, then these troublesome problems will not exist.
In this way, the resistance army can continuously supply the meat needed by the female worms at a very low cost. Even if there are dozens or hundreds of more female worms, there will be no problem at all.
A brand new breeding industry will be born!
------
A few days later, Su Yingxue's report was placed on Ling Ruoxuan's desk.
Regarding this matter, the Research Institute was not in a position to make its own decision, so Ling Ruoxuan had to summon all the senior officials of the resistance army to discuss it together.
After all, this is about a technology that is defined as taboo by humans, and there are also some ethical issues. There will always be people who object, right?
However, what surprised Ling Ruoxuan was that all the senior officials did not even bother to discuss every objection.
According to Mu Zhengfeng's words...
"Humanity has reached this point, who has time to care about ethical issues?"
"Not to mention just cloning meat, but even directly cloning animals to feed female insects, I won't object!"
"The Holy Mother, that's a joke in the age of the universe!"
After hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement.
It was only then that Ling Ruoxuan realized that she had been worried too much.
Well, since all the senior executives have no objections, then why worry about it? Just do it!
Of course, the application to unblock cloning technology and start a cloned meat project was approved just like that, and it went surprisingly smoothly.
However, what no one expected was that as soon as the project application was approved, Su Yingxue submitted a new requirements document.
[The Institute of Biology needs more 300-meter-level insect mounds]
As for the purpose of this requirement?
That's very simple. Since there are no problems with the captive breeding technology and there are no problems with the meat supply, let's bring back a few more female worms.
If one is bred in captivity, ten of them are also bred in captivity, right?
After seeing this demand, Ling Ruoxuan also smiled bitterly, and then kicked the ball directly to the fleet headquarters.
Catching female worms is not the job of our scientific research institute. Let Mr. Mu have the headache...
Just as she thought, Mu Zhengfeng did have a headache.
There is nothing wrong with this request, and I have no reason to refuse it, but the question is where can I catch the female worm?
At this time, Mu Zhengfeng didn't know that there was no need for him to look for her, they were already on the way!
------
In addition to the project of raising female worms in captivity, Su Yingxue is now also responsible for another important project, which is...
The genetic enhancement project mentioned by Lu Weiming before.
Of course, even with the Star Sea Federation's fire database, the progress is still not very fast.
At present, there have only been some breakthroughs in the first-order gene enhancement potion, and there is still a long way to go before it can be truly applied.
But no matter what, Su Yingxue has taken a big step forward in genetic technology.
"What exactly is the problem?"
Su Yingxue frowned slightly as she looked at the data flashing across the dozen or so large screens in front of her.
Although she made some breakthroughs, after that, she had completely stagnated for a month and was unable to move forward.
"Why, are you stumped?"
"Mom, why are you here?"
"I have the nerve to ask, do you know that I haven't left the laboratory for a few days?"
"Should, probably, maybe...two days?"
Su Yingxue tilted her head slightly, and after thinking for a while, she asked with some uncertainty.
"Two days? It's been almost ten days, okay? Go back and rest right away!"
"Ten days, is that long?"
Su Yingxue thought for a moment, probably not, at most...it should only be three days at most, no more!
Seeing her like this, Ling Ruoxuan couldn't help but shout.
My daughter is good at everything. She is always engaged in scientific research, and she is simply working harder than herself.
"Anyway, let me go back today. After Hou Yi comes back later, your brother will go home for dinner in the evening."
"Ah, why did I forget about this guy? Come on, let's leave immediately and go directly to the airport to block him!"
Su Yingxue, who was just trying to find an excuse to stay in the laboratory, grabbed Ling Ruoxuan...
