Chapter 320 The Oasis Project
To the Institute of Life Sciences.

Everyone got off the aircraft one after another and entered the scientific research building where Lu Lin's team was located.

After many twists and turns.

Everyone finally met Lu Lin and others in a building near the Institute of Life Sciences.

"And the results of the experiment!"

As soon as we met, Lu Chen couldn't wait to ask.

Hearing the voice of the big boss, Lu Lin, who was surrounded by a group of white coats, turned her head.

Due to long hours of work, Lu Lin's fair face was a little haggard, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chen was startled, frowned and said, "How many days have you not rested?"

After hearing this, Lu Lin showed a look of indifference, shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about that, let me show you our latest experimental results."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help falling into silence.

He knows that time is a precious thing for human beings now.

In fact, it's not just Lu Lin's team, every scientific researcher in the Academy of Civilization Sciences has never been so urgent as it is now.

soon.

Under the guidance of Lu Lin, everyone saw the experimental results of lunar soil modification.

"This is... lunar soil?"

Lu Chen pointed to the dark soil in the experimental field in front of him, and murmured.

What kind of lunar soil is like, Lu Chen has seen it before, and the grains of soil that look like fine gravel, Lu Chen is deeply impressed.

But looking at the scene in front of him, it doesn't look like moon soil, it's clearly a large piece of fertile black land.

"Correct!"

A look of pride flashed across Lu Lin's tired pretty face, and she nodded, "The silicon-eating bacteria we modified using gene editing technology is a super bacteria that feeds on silicon. Breed in an oxygen environment.

Through gene editing technology, we can control the reproduction algebra of this superbug, thereby controlling its reproduction scale.

In other words, after it multiplies to a certain area, it will die in large numbers! "

Lu Lin paused, "Once the creep formed by the silicon-phager bacteria dies on a large scale, its corpse will be converted into water and various organic matter, soaking into the soil, which is what you see now!"

After speaking, she pointed to the seemingly fertile soil in front of everyone.

"Silicophage"

Lu Chen was thinking about it, he remembered that in the early years, he used a technology editor to create a kind of bacteria called silicon-averse bacteria, which solved the problem of the purity of electronic silicon.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin has now created a creature called silicon-phagating bacteria, which solves the problem of lunar soil modification.

of course.

Although the names of silicon-averse and silicon-hating bacteria are somewhat similar, in fact, these two bacteria are not the same thing at all.

Compared with silicon-averse bacteria, silicon-eating bacteria are much more dangerous.

Yes, it is dangerous!
Although Lu Chen didn't know much about technical issues, among the people who came with him, there was someone who knew a lot about life sciences, and that was Lu Zhou.

Although Lu Zhou was working in the Academy of Civilization Science, he had been engaged in the research of aircraft.

But he himself is not low in biology.

In fact, every scientific researcher in the Academy of Civilization Sciences has a high level of attainment in all scientific fields. In terms of professional level, everyone is at least at the level of a full-time doctor.

It's just that in the follow-up research work, different people have different research biases.

Therefore, Lu Zhou saw at a glance the horror of this microorganism called silicon-phager.

"Director Lu!"

Lu Zhou said with a serious face, "According to what you said, once the super bacteria you mentioned are placed on the moon, wouldn't they be able to multiply to all parts of the moon in a short period of time?"

Hearing this, Lu Lin thought for a while: "If the moon is used as a petri dish, theoretically it would be like this."

really!

Lu Zhou secretly said that since this kind of bacteria can transform the lunar soil, it must be able to adapt to a harsher environment.

In addition, it can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, which proves that the vitality of this superbug is extremely tenacious.

If one is not well controlled, Guanghan City will be flooded with this superbug. Before it can improve the lunar soil, Guanghan City's ecosystem will be destroyed by it.

Seemingly seeing Lu Zhou's worry, Lu Lin explained: "Master Lu, I don't think you need to worry too much, our gene editing technology is already very mature.

Although the vitality of silophages is tenacious, after being modified by gene editing technology, they will naturally perish after multiplying to a certain number of generations, and there is no possibility of unlimited reproduction. "

"I know!"

Lu Zhou still frowned, "But the environment of the moon is different from that of the earth. It is a place full of various cosmic rays. Will these radiations change the genes of silicon-eating bacteria and invalidate your gene editing technology?"

Hearing this, Lu Lin was also silent.

indeed!

She can't guarantee this question.

She can only guarantee that under the experimental conditions, the silophages will reproduce according to their edited algebra, but she cannot guarantee that the other party will not be genetically mutated under the radiation of various cosmic rays.

It would be a disaster if silophages mutated after being dropped on the moon.

At this time.

Shen Li, who was still silent in the crowd, said, "In this case, why don't we just release the silicon-phager bacteria into Guanghan City?
Guanghan City is protected by a man-made atmosphere that isolates more than 99% of cosmic radiation, and its environment is almost indistinguishable from that of the Earth's atmosphere.

Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone when we put silophages there? "

"This"

Hearing this suggestion, Lu Zhou hesitated.

Indeed, as Shen Li said, this solution not only solves the problem of lunar soil transformation in Guanghan City, but also does not have to worry about the mutation of silicon-phager bacteria due to radiation problems, which will lead to out-of-control.

The only question is whether the superbug developed by Lu Lin's team is reliable or not.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, under the ideal experimental environment, the lunar soil transformation technology has indeed succeeded.

But what about on the moon?

The conditions there are very different from those in the experimental fields.

These are different, implying various variables.

Lu Zhou's only concern is whether the genes of the silophage edited by the Institute of Life Sciences are stable.

Don't reproduce a few generations later, if a genetic mutation occurs, then things will be serious.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhou thought about it: "This experimental field is still too small to see anything."

"Then change to a bigger experimental field!"

Lu Chen, who was silent all the time beside him, made a decision directly.

"Change the experimental field, but where can I find such a large experimental field?"

You know, although Guanghan City has not yet been built, its planned area has reached more than 30 square kilometers.

In other words, although Guanghan City is called a city, its actual area is already comparable to Sakura Country.

After all, this is a huge city planned to accommodate tens of millions of people.

"How about the Sahara Desert?"

Lu Lin suggested.

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert on earth, with an area of ​​more than 900 million square kilometers, which is far beyond the conditions of this experiment.

"I think so!"

Lu Zhou nodded.

He is very aware of the influence of Civilization and Science City in Africa, and it is not a problem to use the Sahara Desert as an experiment.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, Shen Li coughed and said, "Everyone, I think it's better to use the Taklamakan Desert in Huaguo as an experiment in the Sahara Desert."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him.

Seeing everyone looking at him like this, Shen Li blushed at first, and then continued, "I admit that part of my selfishness is involved in choosing the Taklamakan Desert, but there are more practical considerations."

Speaking of this, Shen Li's tone became serious: "First, the area of ​​Guanghan City we plan to build is almost the same as that of the Taklamakan Desert. Compared with the Sahara Desert, the Taklamakan Desert is more suitable as the experimental field this time.

Second, the Sahara Desert is located in northern Africa after all, and it is far away from the Civilized Science City. It is not convenient to have your own home for experiments.

This is the third."

"Okay, let's choose the Taklamakan Desert."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said.

Seeing the boss nodding, Lu Lin hurriedly said, "Then I will prepare for the experiment."

"I'm going to arrange the experimental site."

Shen Li hurriedly said.

Seeing that Shen Li was so active in fighting for the experimental site, Lu Zhou knew that he wanted to turn the largest desert in Huaguo into a fertile soil.

Unlike Shen Li, although Lu Zhou has a Chinese face, he is a clone after all and has no feelings for his family and country.

In his eyes, the only object of allegiance is Lu Chen.

When everyone leaves the research institute together.

Lu Chen deliberately walked beside Shen Li, and said as he walked, "Mr. Shen, you seem to be very confident in resisting this disaster."

"What? Isn't Mr. Lu confident?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

Seeing this, Shen Li smiled and said: "Actually, judging from the current situation, I don't have confidence either."

"Then why are you."

"Why did you try to choose the Taklamakan Desert as the experimental site?"

Before Lu Chen could ask, Shen Li explained: "Anyway, it will take more than three years for f-1704 to fall to the earth, since it can make people's lives easier in these three years, why don't we do it?
Besides, what if we are lucky and resist the f-1704 asteroid? "

After Shen Li finished speaking, she looked at Lu Chen with a smile.

Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.

China.

Shen Li's report was quickly approved by the Huaguo government. According to the content of the reply, the Huaguo government will fully assist Lu Lin's team in this experiment.

Moreover, the Huaguo government chose a nice name for this experiment - Oasis Project!
As the largest desert in China, the Taklamakan Desert is almost three and a half times as large as Jiangsu Province.

If there was no such thing as the f-1704 asteroid attacking the earth, Lu Lin's oasis project would probably make Huaguo's high-level officials crazy happy.

What is the concept of transforming the Taklamakan Desert into an oasis?
The Taklamakan Desert is located in the Tarim Basin, and the entire Tarim Basin covers an area of ​​56 square kilometers.

Once the Taklamakan Desert is transformed into an oasis, it means that the entire Tarim Basin will become a livable land, virtually adding 56 square kilometers of habitable area to China.

Besides.

Such a large oasis has a profound impact on the environment, especially the moisture content in the air.

It should be known that besides the large amount of water contained in seawater, another carrier of water is plants.

An oasis of 56 square kilometers will increase the moisture in the local air by at least a hundred times, so that the rainfall will also increase, thus forming a virtuous circle.

At the same time, this influence will also spread towards the eastern and western regions of Huaguo, affecting the climate and environment in the northern and northwest regions of Huaguo.

By that time, the drought problem in the north of Huaguo will be completely resolved.

Food production has skyrocketed, residential land has skyrocketed, timber resources have skyrocketed, and so on.

In short, the benefits are hard to describe.

three days later.

A large transport plane directly landed vertically in the Taklamakan Desert.

From the outside, this sci-fi-looking transport aircraft is not any known model.

Moreover, its light posture when it landed did not look like a behemoth with a load of hundreds of tons.

That's right.

This transport plane came from Civilized Science City.

During this special time.

The military transport planes of the Civilized Science City can already enter and leave the territory of China at will. It is conceivable how close the cooperation between the two parties is.

The endless desert.

A huge military transport plane was parked in the sand sea like a reptile.

With the cabin open.

Smaller reptiles stepped out of the transport plane.

Whoohoo!
In the ear, the wind and sand roared fiercely, and the visibility was less than three meters.

Apparently, they ran into a small dust storm.

"Unfortunate!"

A security guard in a black combat uniform waved.

"Stop complaining and get to work!"

Judging by the accent, these two are actually Chinese soldiers.

soon.

With the cooperation of this group of soldiers, tents were set up one after another.

According to the distribution of the tents, it can be seen that the outer part is where the soldiers live, and the inner part is where the Academy of Civilization Sciences and Huaguo researchers live.

After about half an hour.

The small sandstorm stopped, and the desert returned to tranquility.

With the assistance of the T-1 robot, everyone cleaned up the sand on the transport plane and the tent, and then started the work of the oasis project.

The work of Project Oasis is simple.

Especially for these researchers.

With the help of hummingbird drones, they don't need to do it themselves at all, they just need to set up the location to be released.

In the small holographic projection instrument that is carried around.

A holographic image of the Taklamakan Desert appeared in front of everyone.

This holographic image is marked with red dots one by one, and these red dots are evenly distributed in various places in the Taklamakan Desert.

The places marked by these red dots are the places where the hummingbird drones dropped the silophage.

In the entire Taklamakan Desert, there are more than 300 transport planes like them, all of which are carrying out the mission of releasing silicon-phagers.

What is even more exaggerated is that there are as many as 16 places where silophages are placed.

So many silicon-phagocytic bacteria can be released at the same time to transform the quicksand of the Taklimakan Desert into a fertile soil in the shortest possible time.

According to Lu Lin's prediction.

If all goes well, within three days at most, this place will become a piece of fertile land.

At that time, whether it is planting trees, flowers, grass, or even food, it will depend on the mood of the Chinese people.
