Superstars of Tomorrow

"I heard that you can hear many unusual sounds that ordinary people cannot hear? Can you hear the sounds of plants? For example, the sound of flowering?" Fan Lin asked Fang Zhao again.

Lin Kaiwen slandered that the old man came to them for entertainment. Still listening to the sound of flowers blooming, there is a fart sound, are your ears sick?

"It's not that exaggerated." Fang Zhao recalled, "I just have better hearing than others, and the ore thing is pure luck."

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Fan Lin smiled authentically, and didn't ask this question again, but instead said: "The place outside the base, except for the mining area, have you never been to other places?"

"No." The management of entering and exiting the base is very strict. The miners are picked up by special cars every day, and individuals cannot enter and exit at will.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the experimental field." Fan Lin got up and waved to Fang Zhao and Lin Kaiwen.

Lin Kaiwen glanced at Fang Zhao, and seeing Fang Zhao nodded, he smiled and said, "It's just fine, I'll grow old with you and learn more. Can I start a live broadcast?"

"Yes, take more pictures. You can also take more pictures when you go to the experimental site. I will fully cooperate." Fan Lin walked in front.

Lin Kaiwen raised his eyebrows. Does the old man want them to help advertise? As far as he knows, plant-based alien projects are mostly related to edible or medical treatment. Generally, if they are still in the experimental period, they are not allowed to disclose information to the outside world. Now that Fan Lin allows them to report to the outside world, it means that, Something new is coming to market, or it's not far off.

Lin Kaiwen became excited when he thought that there would be new food crops or medical crops going on the market on the home planet. These are not comparable to the sensation brought about by A-grade energy ores and new elements, but they are still new news.

"Professor Fan, here is your experimental project?" Lin Kaiwen asked nonsense as soon as he got excited. Without their own project, these professors with senior qualifications would not come all the way here, and they are not researching ore.

"Well, among the experimenters who came with you before, one of them is from my research group, and it has been in Baijixing for more than 30 years." Fan Lin replied.

Over the past 30 years, technology and risk assessment have indeed matured, and if there are no other safety issues, it will indeed be able to go on the market soon. Lin Kaiwen was even happier.

"Food? Or medicine?" Fang Zhao asked.

"There are all of them. It is a kind of fruit with high medicinal value."

Without high medicinal value, it is impossible to spend money, time, and manpower. It is a long way to circle an experimental field here for planting.

"In the past, it was only planted in the experimental field, but this year the soil of the field at the base has been improved, and the planting will be expanded there. If it succeeds, maybe when you go back next year, you will be able to see the first batch of fruits on the market." When Fan Lin talked about this, the smile on his face deepened.

"That's right, we can advertise for you first this time."

"Haha, I came to you because of your ability to advertise." Fan Lin didn't hide his purpose at all.

As the mother planet's global granary, Muzhou, many of the crops grown there are not native genes, more than half contain alien genes, bred through hybridization or genetic engineering techniques, and some crops are not suitable for planting on the mother planet. Just planted on other planets.

The crops that Fan Lin is currently growing in Baijixing have half of the mother planet's genes and half of the Baijixing's genes, but they are not suitable for planting on the mother planet, only suitable for planting in Baijixing.

Fan Lin took Fang Zhao and Lin Kaiwen to the laboratory to move things first, where Fan Lin's experimental team was already preparing things.

"Teacher, you can contact there now." An experimenter said to Fan Lin.

Fan Lin checked around, nodded and said: "Okay, contact the aircraft and prepare to go to the experimental field."

"Oh, I almost forgot it." Fan Lin walked to a corner, "I almost forgot to take you."

Fang Zhao looked over, and what Fan Lin mentioned was a small water tank with a white mass inside, which looked like a rabbit in shape, but without eyes, nose and other organs.

"Hey? Is this 'Small Hair'? It's too big?" Lin Kaiwen became interested. By "snags" he was referring to a species of ornamental sea slug that looks like a white rabbit, nestled in a ball, with two "ears" moving in the water. The most ornamental "broken hair" on the market is generally only as long as fingers, but the one in front of you is already as big as a palm, and the palm of a smaller hand can't cover it.

Speaking of sea slugs, they may not be familiar to people in the old century, but in the new century, they are very common.

After a hundred years of extinction, a large number of species became extinct, including those in seawater. However, this small thing that was not familiar to people has grown wildly in those hundred years, not just an increase in size , the number also increased sharply. Scientists studying the extinction period have speculated whether the extinction of several species in seawater is related to this small thing that rose up during the extinction period.

However, the multiple diseases left over from the dying century can be successfully overcome, and they are indispensable.

Sea slugs are model organisms for scientists in the new century to study biological variation and diseases during the extinction period, also because of their large number, fast reproduction, and large degree of commercial use. Many researchers have also bred various large and small colorful sea slugs for ornamental purposes while experimenting.

Nudibranchs are one of the most popular ornamental pets in the new century. Lin Kaiwen has several ornamental sea slugs in his own home, which are more beautiful than the one in front of him.

However, there are quite a few newly bred large sea slugs on the market, which is not surprising. However, as far as the species of "broken hair" is concerned, the group in front of it is indeed a bit bigger.

"Haha, this is not a purebred 'broken hair'." Fan Lin laughed, "It has half of the Baijixing gene."

Speaking of which, Fan Lin raised his finger and tapped the tank wall, "Don't sleep."

Originally lying there except for the "ears" that were motionless, the whole body shone brightly after a slight sway.

"This brightness is easier to use than a flashlight." Lin Kaiwen sighed.

"This is a pure natural energy-saving lamp." Fan Lin threw a feed into it.

Fang Zhao saw the lump lying there stretching slowly, opened his mouth, swallowed the feed, and then slowly retracted.

"Looking anxious, it reacts very slowly." Lin Kaiwen said. Compared with the few in his family, this is simply a turtle speed. However, the win in front of me lies in its stable light emission and high practicality.

"The slow response is because this little guy is lazy. The temperature of the water tank is set low, and it is not active." Fan Lin said.

"Why not make it more active?" Lin Kaiwen was puzzled. The few ornamental sea slugs in his house were lively, and he liked to watch those beautiful aquatic creatures swimming around in the big water tank.

Fan Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, "Too edible."

Lin Kaiwen couldn't refute this reason.

"Bring it, if the power supply in the experimental field is insufficient at that time, we can use it for lighting."

When the power system is blocked and lighting cannot be provided, or when mechanical equipment cannot be used for lighting in some places, this kind of biological light source that only emits light and does not generate heat is indeed a good choice. As Fan Lin said, it is pure natural. Energy saving and easy to raise.

"Sounds good, why don't you cultivate more, this kind of useful one must be very popular in the market." Lin Kaiwen said.

"I'm not researching this, but I heard from the experimenters who bred it that they want to breed more. Unfortunately, this one has only been produced in thirty years." Fan Lin said with a smile, "Its age Bigger than you."

"It can live for such a long time? I heard that the ornamental sea slugs cultivated now can live for a few years at most, or about ten years at most. It is said that the lifespan of this creature was shorter in the old century." Lin Kaiwen marveled, "But , I’m still a little apprehensive about this kind of animal with alien genes.”

"Have you watched too many sci-fi movies?" Fan Lin squinted at Lin Kaiwen, and handed the water tank that he was going to give Lin Kaiwen to Fang Zhao, "Just mention it, don't be afraid, harmless species."

Fang Zhao held the water tank and looked at the "rabbit" inside which seemed to be in a dormant state.

harmless?

Even if sea slugs, which have experienced explosive growth in the century of extinction, become the most popular seawater ornamental pets, they cannot erase their history of wanton hunting in the ocean. Fang Zhao once saw a group of sea slugs devouring the poisonous man-of-war jellyfish.

The one in front of me contains half of the genes of sea slugs that survived the century of extinction. Whether it is harmless or not depends on how it is raised.

However, at this stage, it is still harmless, and the feed fed by the experimenters is also mild, so it is considered mild and harmless for the time being.

The experimental field that Fan Lin mentioned was far from the base, near sentry point No. 23. The experimental team is about to go to Checkpoint 23, escorted by a military force from the base.

After the personnel arrived and the instruments were transported, an aircraft took off from the base and headed for the No. 23 checkpoint.

Lin Kaiwen thought to himself: Has this Professor Fan been playing with them for a long time?

Originally wanted to ask Fang Zhao about his next live broadcast plan, but when he turned his head, Lin Kaiwen saw Fang Zhaozhen teasing the ball in the water tank with the feed.

Forget it, he, the special correspondent, should worry about the live broadcast and so on, and Fang Zhao cannot be counted on.
