Li Hao glanced at the device, he shook his head and walked out of the room.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He was just curious and checked the preparations of the scientists in the biology laboratory to enter the virus laboratory.

It was found that every time they entered, they needed to go through dozens of hours of preparation, not only the body surface had to be coated with highly effective anti-virus nano-medicine. Antiviral drugs also need to be taken.

Obviously, there is only the less dangerous tobacco mosaic virus in the virus laboratory, which has no effect on humans. Not sure what danger they were preventing, perhaps forming a habit.

And this kind of equipment also needs to pass detailed tests before use. Without the tested equipment, people will never enter the virus laboratory.

He knew that Du Xianyu asked him to see this kind of equipment, not to let him enter the virus laboratory.

I still have to pay attention to safety, and check the virus laboratory through the virtual light curtain leisurely in the office. This is more secure.

They returned to the office again, and Du Xianyu turned on the virtual light curtain. Introduce the situation in the virus laboratory to Li Hao.

The virtual light curtain shows a laboratory with a dense population and many small animals.

When Li Hao saw this scene, he said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the virus laboratory is dangerous. I checked just now and found out that you mainly rely on robots to operate experiments, that is, every time someone enters the virus laboratory, It all requires a lot of preparation.”

Du Xianyu smiled and introduced: "The results of our genetic programming technology are not only microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. There are also these genetically modified animals. These animals are not dangerous at all."

He pointed out a little white rabbit and introduced it to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, this is a little white rabbit suffering from phenylketonuria created by us through genetic programming technology."

Du Xianyu then pointed out many small animals and introduced them quickly: "Mice with hemophilia, pigs with diabetes, monkeys with high blood pressure."

Li Hao saw mainly four animals, pikas, pigs, and monkeys. But they all suffer from diseases common to humans.

Does he know what this means? Through this animal with a particular disease. Observing their physiological processes may be able to discover the cause of the disease or find a drug to treat it.

Li Hao gave a thumbs up and praised: "This idea is very good, not only can we find good materials for our company's next research and development work.

It is the animal with this special disease, and its value is also very high. Major pharmaceutical companies and biological research institutes at home and abroad will definitely rush to buy this kind of animal with defective genes. "

Du Xianyu also said with a smile: "This is the correct research and development direction of our biological laboratory, we can't always develop a devastating virus like the villain in the film and television drama.

The laboratory uses viruses for experiments, mainly for two purposes.

The first purpose is to find the weakness of the virus by knocking out certain genes. The virus can be quickly killed by gene-targeted drugs to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.

The second purpose is to find the base pairs that maintain the basic functions of life by changing the genes of the virus.

Viruses have the fewest gene fragments, and their life activities are also very simple. In this way, it is more convenient to explore the base pairs that make up life activities. "

Li Hao nodded in agreement, it was pretty much what he thought. Biotechnology has developed to a certain extent. Definitely explore the genes that control individual physiological functions.

The light curtain in front of him changed again, and this time he came to a dark laboratory.

Du Xianyu looked at the light curtain and introduced: "This is the tobacco mosaic virus we have processed through genetic programming technology, and we are currently studying the basic properties of the active tobacco mosaic virus.

This is hiv virus, this is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This is the flu virus. "

Hearing Du Xianyu's words, Li Hao's face immediately became gloomy, and beads of sweat dripped from his temples.

I saw Du Xianyu name highly contagious and deadly germs one by one.

He said seriously: "Director Du, didn't you just say that the genetic programming technology is only used for tobacco mosaic virus. Then why are these deadly strains of bacteria kept in the laboratory?"

Du Xianyu immediately explained: "Mr. Li, I didn't make it clear just now. We only process the gene of tobacco mosaic virus through programming technology.

But these deadly germs are the microbes that we need to address in developing this technology.

It's just that they are still in the stage of supporting the original plants, and have not been processed by genetic programming technology.

This is why our virus laboratory is so strictly guarded. We bought these viruses at a high price from the Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are highly pathogenic if released. "

Seeing that Li Hao's face softened, he continued: "Fortunately, in the process of researching the life magnetic field detector, we discovered a highly effective sterilizing magnetic field.

With the existence of this kind of equipment, a virus and bacteria will never escape from the laboratory. Safety can be absolutely guaranteed. After all, if these viruses and bacteria escape, our biological laboratory will be the first to suffer. "

"I still say that safety is the most important thing. You can handle the rest yourself, and I won't interfere."

Li Hao's expression calmed down. He knew that although Du Xianyu was sometimes crazy, he was still a rational scientist. The safety of the experiment can still be guaranteed.

He suddenly saw a flash of light on the screen, as if seeing a purple-red grass.

Li Hao immediately turned the light curtain back to pause, and sure enough, he saw a purple-red grass on the screen. This grass looks very weak, only two leaves are held together.

Li Hao pointed to this grass, and asked suspiciously: "Director Du, what kind of grass is this? Why is it still placed in the innermost layer of the virus laboratory, why is it so strictly protected?"

Du Xianyu's face was not very good, and he said intermittently: "This is a completely experimental and failed research and development variety. It's just that it is too dangerous, but it has high research value. We are reluctant to destroy it, so we can only put it here save."

Seeing Du Xianyu's performance, Li Hao's curiosity was aroused. He hurriedly asked Du Xianyu: "Can you tell me about the attributes of this grass."

Du Xianyu saw that Li Hao was very curious, so he told the reason for this little grass.

"It was when we were doing the genetic programming project that I thought the HIV virus genetic material is ribonucleic acid (RNA) and other organisms have been found whose genetic material is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

I just thought of using ribonucleic acid as genetic material to create a new life form.

Through the scientific research auxiliary system and my many experiments, the only successful one is this little grass, which is a creature assembled from ribonucleic acid fragments cut from various cells. "

Du Xianyu looked at this little grass, sighed and said, "Except for its gene mutation rate being many times higher than normal plants, it can survive in harsh environments, and its other properties are no different from ordinary plants.

But because this grass has added a kind of ribonucleic acid fragment unique to cancer cells. It secretes a group of special hormones in its cells, which has a very powerful function of promoting the metabolism of animals.

I injected the purified cell solution of 10,000 plants of this grass into a pig that had just reached the full moon. The division speed of its cells suddenly accelerated a hundred times.

In just a few minutes, the pig was stretched and died a few minutes later.

If it is placed in nature, it will create a terrible scene.

Give a simple example. In prehistoric civilizations, the oxygen concentration in the air was much higher than it is now, and the metabolism of animals was very fast.

That's why there are giants like dinosaurs, dragonflies with a body length of more than one meter, and crawling insects with a body length of 13 meters.

This small grass also plays a similar role. Once spread, it will cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment. "
