Chapter 475 Pretending to Feel the Passage of Time

The utilization rate of sunlight by plants is actually very low.

Not all of the solar light energy irradiated on the plant leaves will be absorbed by the plants.Plants only absorb part of it and reflect back green light and other invisible light.Part of it will pass through the leaves and will not be absorbed, and the other part will increase the temperature of the leaves and evaporate the water in the leaves to ensure the continuous transpiration and allow the plants to absorb nutrients from the soil.

The energy that is actually converted into chemical energy by photosynthesis is only a few percent at best, and it is almost impossible to exceed six percent.

It should be said that for most plants, the utilization rate of sunlight for photosynthesis is much lower than [-]%.

If it can exceed one percent in the growth stage, it is a good crop.

Even if this kind of plant with high light energy conversion rate is not tasty to humans, humans can use it as feed, develop animal husbandry, and even convert it into industrial raw materials.

According to this standard, the conversion rate of rice, a major food crop, is only between 0.3 and 2% (the difference between non-improved and improved varieties).

And the solar panels...

Solar panels are awesome.

The conversion efficiency theory of this thing can reach 2020% around 40.00.

Through the superposition of multiple coatings and solar panels of different materials, most frequency bands can be used, and basically no light is transmitted.

Compared with "just enough" plants, solar panels that are born to absorb light energy will naturally be more efficient.

And Yawgmoth's wish is to build a Dyson cloud.

Since Dyson Cloud is an architectural miracle that efficiently utilizes solar energy, it will naturally require a large number of high-conversion solar panels.The Dyson cloud is located in space, so it can also use the solar wavelengths that the earth's atmosphere absorbs seriously.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the scientific research knights, Asylum has been able to stably produce battery panels with a conversion rate exceeding 50.00%, while under laboratory conditions, the scientific research knights are constantly approaching the limit allowed by the laws of physics.

And based on... various public channels for papers, knights are not bad in this area.

A palm-sized solar panel has the conversion efficiency of solar energy equivalent to one or two hundred leaves of equal area.

Of course, this is largely because solar panels only need to convert light energy into electricity.

However, electrical energy can be directly absorbed by some metal-based organisms.

Some metal-based organisms can rely on electricity for energy to survive.

Although this energy utilization rate is far below [-]%.

However, as long as it's set up properly...

"This is equivalent to an artificial leaf..." Xiang Shan marveled.

Fungi also have cases of symbiosis with plants.Among them, lichen is formed by the symbiosis of fungi and moss.

Among them, moss is responsible for photosynthesis, solidifying solar energy and providing energy for the entire system.The fungus can decompose the organic matter left after the death of the plant, and re-provide water and inorganic salts to those plants without roots.

Under the premise of metal-based transformation, "plants" can already be replaced by "machines".

This is equivalent to installing "photosynthetic prosthetics" on plants and fungal colonies.

In the wild, very small solar panels would not attract the attention of satellites.

After all, the earth is not a uniform texture, and the air is the same.

Therefore, the temperature in a small area is slightly higher than the surrounding area, which is normal.

However, if a gadget with a fixed area moves continuously, it is very problematic.

That's why many vehicles cannot set off during the day.

And this kind of ultra-small solar panel, the cost is very low, the material is common, and there is little conflict with the resource requirements of knights.

So it is used to do this kind of thing.

Xiang Shan looked at the lichen formed by the symbiosis of the fungus and the plant, and said, "Then...well, is this fungus also specially bred? Where did you get the gene editing tools?"

Thanks to Yogmov, gene editing is a fairly mature technology.With a complete set of tools, anyone can perform gene editing in a kitchen-scale facility-of course, this situation does not guarantee that the target trait can be edited.

After all, gene editing, "off-target" is a routine operation.

If it is said that Yawgmoth’s previous gene editing technique used a large knife for neurosurgery, then Mr. Yawgmoth Voigt’s improved gene editing technology probably uses a kitchen knife for thoracic surgery.

But after all, nature has not created a biological mechanism "specifically used to edit genes".

Before Yawgmoth, genetic modification was the result of a "pile up".Use the Daguan knife to perform tens of thousands of operations in a row, and if one survives, it will be considered a success.

Yawgmoth improved the situation.But even if it is the simplest appendicitis operation, if you don't use a scalpel to do it, there is still a failure rate.

Xiang Shandao is really curious, now those knights have a whole set of gene editing tools in their hands.

The most important thing about "gene editing tools" is not instruments, but various enzymes that can cut and splice DNA.

And all organic substances can be quickly metabolized by microorganisms through the Yawill method.

It's just that the enzymes involved in gene editing tools are a little bit special.

"Some simple reagents can be directly stolen from the Knights of Scientific Research. Some of them are provided by the sect. However, it is a bit difficult to find complete gene editing tools here. It is said that the knights in Africa can prepare them."

Jardl answered honestly.

Xiang Shan pondered for a moment: "Hmm... Then how did this kind of electric energy synthesis fungus grow?"

"Electric energy synthesis fungus...cultivate..." Jadl was a little puzzled, "After the No. [-] infection event, the surviving fungi all had metal-based gene fragments. Use drugs to intensify the horizontal movement of genetic information between different colonies, and then After further screening, it is easy to screen out such fungi..."

"Infection No. [-]..."

Xiang Shan's tone was slightly confused.

But he found that other people were confused because of their doubts about this matter.

At the same time, the memory of the Eighth Valkyrie also gave a standard answer.

"Infection Event No. [-]" refers to "Biosphere No. [-]", the event in which the Earth's biosphere was infected.

According to the impression of people in the Jianghu 80 years ago, this historical event is now recognized as "a genetic weapon attack launched by a thief who steals the country at the end of the sublimation war."

And the Eighth Martial God scoffed at the widely circulated saying that "thieves use genetic weapons to suppress knights".

In the view of the Eighth Valkyrie, the enemies of the stealers, that is, the knights, are all cybermen with a full transformation rate.

I'm afraid it's really crazy to use genetic weapons on such people.There is no benefit to such an act other than fratricide against civilians.

It's just that this part of the memory has not been included in the "inheritance" by the Eighth Martial God.

And Xiang Shan's biological brain instinctively felt something was wrong.

"The No. [-] infection incident..." Xiang Shan pondered, "It wasn't called that name at that time."

Pretending to lament the passage of time.

Anyway, in the era of Wuzu Xiangshan, there was indeed no such title.
