Great Power Technology

After this final struggle, there were only 36 civilians left alive. Most of them died on the way to the enemy. They sacrificed their lives in the face of the enemy's continuous firepower. With the limited time between reloading, I just chewed them up one by one, and finally won this victory at an almost crazy cost.

None of the big fish in the stronghold survived, and their bodies were directly burned to ashes under Ye Zhou's command - in order to destroy the evidence.

As long as there is no evidence that a big fish has ever been here, they are safe.

Now, the remaining food Ye Zhou has on hand can barely support the remaining personnel to survive for 12 days.

From previous simulations, Ye Zhou knew that it would take at least 20 days before the passage above could be opened. No one had an answer to who would survive in the end.

But Ye Zhou had no intention of complying with fate. At this point, he could no longer survive alone.

It is impossible for him to occupy excess resources, because this will be regarded as betrayal. What he can do is to organize everyone to the maximum extent to plunder all the resources in this small world.

On the eighth day after the air raid, after all the bodies had been buried, a full-scale rat hunt was launched.

This underground base was transformed from long-standing underground fortifications, and the airtightness design was not strict, which also left them with a chance of survival.

In two days, 37 people caught a total of 62 rats, enough rats to extend their lives for two days.

Ye Zhou organized everyone to dispose of the rat carcasses, and then continued fishing with the inedible offal. Every day since then, they harvested several rats.

So in this extremely absurd way, this small world realized a rudimentary circular economy.

Subsequently, Ye Zhou implemented extremely strict behavioral control. Except for daily necessary work, everyone reduced the number of activities to a minimum to save energy and food consumption.

The circulation system in the underground world has begun to fail, and the fresh water that was once easily available is becoming increasingly scarce. Fortunately, there is gauze in the infirmary that can be used for filtration.

In the process of carrying gauze, the group also had an unexpected gain.

Originally, the infirmary had been cleared out, and all the medicines that could be used to replenish energy, such as glucose solution, normal saline, etc., had been consumed by the big fish, but they had missed those vitamin medicines with the largest reserves - and these tablets The most abundant ingredient in pharmaceuticals is starch.

Boxes of vitamin tablets were moved to the living area, and then simmered at high temperatures to destroy the excessively rich vitamins. The remaining rice soup-like liquid became food.

Relying on this food, the 37 people in the underground world spent three days nourished.

Time passed day by day, and the remaining days were as dull as water. The occasional mood swings among the members were quickly relieved by others. Ye Zhou even set up a special psychological counseling group to avoid catastrophic mass hysteria.

In this way, everyone survived until the twenty-ninth day.

As the vibration gradually approached, the upward channel was finally opened.

After seeing those faces that looked extremely familiar at first glance, Ye Zhou let out a long sigh of relief.

"You are late, Davari."

Darkness gradually covered Ye Zhou's sight, and he returned to the void.

[The first stage of the plot simulation of the mystery of life ends]

[This simulation score: A]

[A-level ending achieved, the ending can be watched]

[Ending reward: Genetic sequencing map of the entire human race]

[Ending reward (engineering male talent): A\u0026C-BEmax gene editor based on AEB8e adenine base]

Ye Zhou's eyes were immediately attracted by the last reward. He could understand what the full human race gene sequencing map was and what a gene editor was, but he could not understand this long list of words and letters. What does the constituted gene editor represent?

He subconsciously reached out and touched the line of text about the ending reward, and then an annotation appeared next to the text.

[A\u0026C-BEmax gene editing technology: fusing two deaminase enzymes with a Cas9 nickase to develop an adenine and cytosine double base editor (A\u0026C-BEmax), which can achieve C-to-T and A-to-G conversion, compared with CRISPR-CAS9 technology, RNA off-target activity is greatly reduced. 】

[At the same time, the editor introduces the ABE8e 3D structure to increase the deamination rate by 1170 times]

Ye Zhou read the comments that popped up from the system ten times. He seemed to understand everything, but he didn't seem to understand it at all.

The only number he can remember is 1170 times.

In any case, unless it is in some very special fields, as long as it is fast, it is good.

As for the application prospects of gene editing technology, Ye Zhou has a limited understanding.

This is a technology that can not only be used on humans. In fact, due to ethical constraints, the most mature application of gene editing technology is currently in botany, or agriculture.

As early as 2014, Gao Caixia's team from the Institute of Genetics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Qiu Jinlong's team from the Institute of Microbiology collaborated to use genome editing technology to mutate the wheat susceptibility gene MLO and obtain a wheat variety with broad-spectrum and durable resistance to powdery mildew. .

In the field of rice, in 2017, Yuan Longping's team announced a breakthrough technology in rice breeding using gene editing, which can 'knock out' the cadmium-containing or cadmium-absorbing genes in the parents. This technology can make the rice non-toxic. Reabsorb the heavy metal cadmium ions in soil moisture to cope with the serious cadmium pollution in waters in southern China and avoid chronic poisoning caused by eating cadmium-containing rice.

Therefore, a breakthrough gene editor can definitely not only cause major changes in the medical field, but may also cause major changes in the agricultural field.

Ye Zhou scratched his head, he was a little confused about the reward this time.

Why do you feel that the rewards attached to the engineering male talent are better than the ending rewards?

——

Maybe it's because I don't know enough about genetic engineering. After absorbing the relevant knowledge, I may change my mind.

However, these two awards also broke his early layout of technology applications. With powerful gene editing tools, there may be no need to postpone genetic engineering, at least genetic engineering research in the agricultural field.

It is still necessary to provide technical documents to the authorities as soon as possible so that professionals can judge the application prospects.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou clicked on the ending summary page, intending to exit the simulator immediately after finishing the ending quickly and start exporting technical documents.
