The news of the discovery of a large number of photosynthetic enzymes that can be collected in nature on the Blue Planet soon detonated the entire biological field.
Let’s put it this way, the pursuit of artificially synthesizing the energy sources needed by humans is a “future-oriented” and natural scientific pursuit.
Once realized, it will not only enable industrialized production of food and maintain ecology, but more importantly, it will technically allow humans to get rid of the shackles of "nature" and completely rely on technology to carry out life cycles.
To give a simple example, if a manned spacecraft is to undertake the mission of space travel for several years or even decades - or space drifting or escape - food will be a bigger headache than fuel.
Take Space City, for example. In the "Ultimate Plan", Space City will not only be a cosmic building that demonstrates the level of civilization and technology, it will also be responsible for the most critical moments - such as when the earth's ecology is completely destroyed.
Self-circulating function.
Don’t think that mankind can sit back and relax just because it has established a joint space defense force.
Even if antimatter cannons are built, the earth itself still has unstable factors that are enough to destroy the current ecology.
Not to mention anything else, if the Yellowstone volcano and the Toba volcano erupt in full force, it will be enough for humans to drink a pot.
Therefore, in the space city plan, it will have a huge space planting factory and ecosystem, simulating the earth's ecology while also realizing the cyclic supply of food.
But even with the most advanced three-dimensional technology, there is still an upper limit to its output ratio per unit space. To be able to support the self-circulation of food for tens of thousands or more people, the space occupied by a planting factory will also increase proportionally.
In space, any space filled with air is a cost.
Therefore, artificially synthesized food has become almost the only option.
As early as a few years ago, China took the lead in completing an artificial solution from carbon dioxide to ethanol and then to starch. The principle is to span the lengthy steps and time of more than fifty stages of photosynthesis and shorten it to more than ten.
steps and ultimately save a lot of time.
It can be done in one step without the need for photosynthesis by plants.
Among these, the most critical thing is the cost of photosynthetic enzymes.
But Mo Gu is right. In addition to the possibility of industrialized starch synthesis becoming a reality, scientists are also concerned about how the animals on the Blue Star use photosynthetic enzymes.
…
A month later, Mogu hosted a global academic conference in the biological field in the provincial capital.
"Through a month of tracking and observation, we found that these animals that consumed gel did not eat other foods in their living habits... To be more precise, they embody plant nature."
"Therefore, we boldly conducted tentative dissections and found that the digestive systems of these animals are different from those of other animals on Earth and even the Blue Star."
"This is a special species. Although they have the appearance and behavioral definition of animals, their life cycle is similar to that of plants - the kind that does not require photosynthesis."
"Let me give you an inappropriate example. They are walking starch synthesis factories."
Mo Gu glanced at the time and continued to make a report: "Next, our plan is to observe and track this creature for a longer period of time, and simulate the earth's ecology."
…
Mo Gu completed the report and entered the dialogue and question session. Soon, countless hands were raised.
A scholar from the UK asked: "Professor Mo Gu, have any highly intelligent mammals been found on the Blue Star?"
"Mammals have been discovered, but unfortunately, high-intelligence mammals that meet the human definition have not been discovered. At present, the most observed animals are dinosaur-like animals, and they do not show higher IQs than gorillas on the earth." Mo Gu
He replied with a smile and looked at the time again.
She is indeed very busy and in a hurry.
As one of the first members of the expedition team confirmed to set foot on the Blue Star, she will immediately go to the space training base for eight months of training after hosting this press conference. Then eight months later,
If nothing else goes wrong, she will go to the wormhole on a scientific research vessel transformed from the latest spacecraft.
This spaceship can be regarded as the sister ship of Wenyue. It has already been decided, and even the name was named "Wangyue". However, due to the urgency of scientific research on Blue Star, it was temporarily added with a dense
The gravitational constant current technology module has the ability to travel through black holes.
And since it is going to the Blue Star, it is a bit inappropriate to continue to refer to the "X-month number", so it was renamed "The Blue Star."
The reason why this name was chosen is mainly to reflect mankind's respect for this civilization.
After all... being so "close" to each other, we can be regarded as neighbors.
However, before it was the neighbor's turn to introduce himself, it simply gave up, so that even its name could only be defined by humans.
And the current discovery, how should I put it... Due to the space of the detector, what it can do is very limited, and even the range of activities cannot exceed ten kilometers.
According to observations from space, the current ecological zone area of Canglan Star is about one-half that of the Earth...
This is no longer a glimpse of a leopard, but a glimpse of a whale. What do you think we can find?
But precisely because of the investigation area of only ten kilometers, so many discoveries were made, and we even encountered an underground city...
So naturally, people are also full of fantasies about other areas.
For example, according to the history interpreted from the murals, Blue Star fell into an ice age during a meteorite event and then moved to the ground. Before that, they were also a civilization spread across the continent - so would there be something under those ice layers?
Are there any well-preserved ruins?
Will there be more dungeons?
Will we encounter more creatures and intelligent races?
Or even encounter the surviving Blue Star people whose civilization has regressed?
These are all very desirable.
…
After the meeting, Mo Gu quickly rushed back to the brain-computer center and came to Ye Ming's office.
And as soon as she walked to the door of the office, she heard bursts of laughter.
In the office, Ye Ming, Zhou Xiangnan, and Li Dongsheng were all there, and even Qi and Mo were also there.
"Old Zhou, have you decided?" Mo Gu greeted Zhou Xiangnan with a smile and walked towards his cousin naturally.
Qi Yumo pursed his lips and smiled, pulling a chair next to him.
"It's settled."
"Where's Dongsheng? Have you decided?"
Li Dongsheng suppressed his excitement, nodded slightly, and replied with a smile: "Xunxing 8 has brought so many unmanned equipment, we will definitely need an after-sales team to go there."
"What about you? What are you doing here?" Mo Gu turned to look at Qi and Mo.
Needless to say, girls like Qi and Mo will definitely not be able to go.
"Ahem...I'm here to play."
"Well, are you okay?" Mo Gu looked at Zhou Xiangnan and Li Dongsheng with a smile, and issued an "expulsion order" for Ye Ming.
Those two people were naturally very smart. Knowing that Mo Gu came over just after the meeting today, something must have happened... The two of them immediately stood up and left.
Qi and Mo stood up, walked the two people to the door, and closed the door.
Then, she looked at her cousin curiously: "Sister, what's the matter?"
"Well...Actually, I just asked if there was anything wrong, and it actually included you..." Mo Gu glanced at Ye Ming, and then said to Qi and Mo with a smile.
Qi Yumo stared at Ye Ming, and saw that Ye Ming was also a little confused, and his head was full of black lines: "What do you have to say to him that I can't listen to?"
"Well..." Mo Gu stared at the back of Ye Ming's head, and laughed after a while: "Okay, it's time anyway... Ye Ming, do you want to have an operation?"
Hearing this, Qi and Mo were stunned again.
Do you want to have surgery?
She is a smart girl and immediately realized that the amount of information contained in this sentence was very interesting.
Does it mean that Ye Ming has an operation that he can do or not?
What kind of surgery is that? Does she need to do it?
Cut the appendix or cut the tonsils? Or cut the corns?
It’s not like circumcision!
Facing Qi and Mo's stunned looks, and seeing Mo Gu staring at the back of his head, Ye Ming immediately came back to his senses.
He coughed lightly and smiled bitterly: "It's not necessary."
"Actually, I think it's still necessary, if you really don't need it anymore." Mo Gu said sternly: "Your status is different now... Others may not dare to do this kind of surgery..."
"Hmm... I don't think it will have much impact." Ye Ming touched the back of his head - since Yin Ta established an interference connection with her body through the long-distance communication module, she has never used bioelectricity and dimensional wave interference technology again.
--the Web speed is too slow!
"Wait, what kind of surgery is it? It can't be... cutting..." Qi Yumo's face turned red, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Ye Ming's crotch: "Cut that?"
[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version. 】
Ye Ming and Mo Gu immediately understood that this girl was simply thinking wrong.
"Ahem... no!" It was about reputation and function, Ye Ming immediately denied it.
"What kind of surgery is that?" Qi Yumo asked immediately.
"Uh... it's a minor surgery. I had a chip implanted before, but I basically don't need it now." Ye Ming waved his hand: "Don't ask, it's fine, and there are no sequelae."
Qi and Mo immediately stopped talking.
She has been with Ye Ming for so long, and she knows Ye Ming's character very well - this guy is too afraid of trouble and nagging, and he even confessed to himself that he really doesn't want to waste his life on meaningless explanations and
Explaining.
In Qi and Mo's view, Ye Ming actually drew a line for her.
——I have this character, even after getting married.
It was only at this time that Qi and Mo realized clearly what Mo Gu meant when he warned himself that "Ye Ming would not be a competent boyfriend."
People like Ye Ming... are naturally not men who focus on trivial family matters. In other words, in his eyes, love is far less attractive than science.
Frankly speaking, when I realized this, Qi and Mo felt a little uncomfortable.
but……
For thousands of years, or even looking at the entire history of human science... there is only one person like this.
Can't you just give him a break?
"Okay, it's okay if you say it's okay." Qi Yumo breathed out softly. After a moment, she looked at the time and stood up: "I'll go back to the company first. Team Li is leaving here. Xiao Fei
We are also stationed in Space City, and our mechanical supervisor still doesn’t know what to do.”
Ye Ming nodded: "Well, you guys will just discuss it."
Since the launch of the space program, he no longer has the energy to take care of too many things about Jizhi Technology, especially in terms of personnel. He knows that his influence is too great. If he says too much, he will be pushed away.
If a reliable person goes up, it will be really troublesome...
As Qi and Mo left, Mo Gu also stood up and closed the door.
Then, she sat in front of Ye Ming and looked at Ye Ming with a half-smile.
Ye Ming was a little upset when she saw him.
"Sister Mo, there's something wrong with your eyes..."
"I'm going to the training base in two days."
"Well... you do need training. After all, you are equivalent to pioneers and colonists. Everyone has to play multiple roles." Ye Ming nodded, thinking that this was what she was going to say: "But there are Captain Li and Lao Zhou.
You don’t have to worry too much about them.”
"That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is... I'm leaving." Mo Gu stared at him and took a deep breath after being silent for a while: "How long will it take for me to drink your wedding wine?"
Ye Ming immediately stopped talking.
His mind is now filled with the deciphering of the Blue Star civilization, the reasons for its demise, and the ecology of the entire star cluster...
And in the past month, he has not been idle for a moment. He just held a remote meeting to discuss the modification work of the "Canglan", and in the future, he will have to keep an eye on the high-dimensional space of the "Canglan".
Membrane generating device...
You said, how could he have time to think about getting married?
"Ye Ming, you two... have been together for so many years, and you and Xiao Qi are not young anymore." Mo Gu paused, hesitated for a long time before looking at Ye Ming: "You... don't you have anything?
"
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Ye Ming immediately started coughing violently.
Good guy, this is a good question...
Even if she really wanted to ask, shouldn't she ask Qi and Mo?
"I..." Ye Ming was extremely embarrassed: "Sister, am I that kind of person? Besides, you seem to be older than us..."
Ye Ming changed the topic as he spoke and looked at Mo Gu.
Although it is well maintained and has a good foundation, Mo Gu... is still over thirty after all.
Seeing Ye Ming looking at him, Mo Gu was suddenly startled and then glared at him.
"Look, you're not in a hurry, so you don't have to worry about me, right?" Ye Ming laughed.
Faced with the urge to marry, it seems that the most effective way is to directly ask her back - as an old girl over thirty years old, what qualifications does she have to urge her.
"I won't get married!" Mo Gu snorted.
"Then I'm not in a hurry..."
"But I'm here for you and Xiao Qi, you can't make a mistake..." As he spoke, Mo Gu suddenly stopped and fell silent.
After a moment, she whispered.
"Ye Ming, you are so smart, I don't believe it. You don't know that someone made a mistake because of you."
