Chapter 309 The Most Critical Step!
Don't blame Yu Anbang for swearing, the scene in the laboratory at this moment is really spectacular!
There are hundreds of large culture bottles occupying the entire space of the east laboratory. The test bench, floor, window sill and even instruments are filled with bottles!
The liquid in each bottle has different colors, such as transparent, lotus leaf green, dark green, light green, maple leaf red, and orange. Under the sunlight from different angles, the layers are distinct, just like a huge dye house!
"Teacher Yu, please help me raise algae for your hard work." Song He said with a smile.
"Are you going to exhaust me to death?" Yu Anbang was confused and walked over to look at the bottles. "So you have been obsessed with algae cultivation these past two days? Is there any progress in the research and development of explosives?"
"There is still progress. Dozens of algae species that cannot be used have been identified, and there are still 30 species that may be used," Song He said.
He was busy all night yesterday, injecting nitrifying organelles into various algae.
Most of the algae died as soon as the organelles were injected, so quickly that it was as if the nitrifying organelles were bullets fired at them!
There are only 30 species of algae left, which are still alive for the time being, but whether they can carry out nitrification reactions remains to be seen.
"The sandbank explosive has made progress." Yu Anbang said while serving the algae culture bottle, "Last night's test explosion experiment, the explosion speed, explosion pressure, and density data of the sandbank explosive were very impressive, and it was just one step away from breaking through my Anbang explosive. A trace of it.”
"Teacher, are you going to fall off the altar?" Song He was curious.
"That's right." Yu Anbang smiled bitterly, "Is there any immortal god in the scientific world? My senior brothers and sisters are very capable and can definitely surpass me. I don't know who will surpass them in the future."
"What is the approximate cost price of sandbank explosives?" Song He asked.
"There's no data yet, but I guess it won't be cheap." Yu Anbang thought for a moment, "At least a few dollars per gram!"
"Then I can surpass them in cost." Song He nodded.
"You? Wish you good luck!"
Yu Anbang laughed. He obviously still didn't believe that biological explosives could succeed.
In particular, the algae tanks full of the laboratory deepened his feeling. Could these green algae floating in the river produce explosives? How can it be?
Song He didn't explain much and got up to work after eating.
Take out a sample of algae and observe it under a microscope.
One of the samples is the diatom Feline Diatom, which is the algae that was injected into the nitrifying organelles for the first time yesterday. Most of the Diatom Diatom Feline were dead when they were first injected, but after rescue and cultivation, a small part of the algae came back to life and reproduced again. big family.
Song He had just put the sample of Feline Diatom under the microscope when a black technology blueprint suddenly popped up in front of his eyes!
The progress bar rushed forward by 30% in an instant, reaching 40%!
He bent over in surprise and leaned over the eyepiece to observe.
The large glass tube-like feathered diatoms in the field of view looked the same as yesterday, but the status displayed by the system had changed.
[The feathered diatoms perform nitrification and photosynthesis at the same time and grow vigorously! 】
In the distance, Yu Anbang saw Song He lying on the microscope having fun, and immediately came over curiously.
"What are you looking at? Are you so happy?"
“Look at the diatoms!”
Song He moved away from the microscope and Yu Anbang lay down to take a look.
After looking at it for a moment, Yu Anbang turned to look at him blankly, "Isn't it just an ordinary diatom? What are you enjoying?"
"I think of happy things." Song He was overjoyed.
Yu Anbang was confused, so he ran to raise algae for a while and then left.
Song He was the only one left in the laboratory again, silently checking the black technology blueprint.
The next step of work actually accounts for 40% of the progress bar!
It seems to be the most critical step. After completing this step, the research and development progress will reach 80%. In the end, there may only be some finishing work to fine-tune performance.
[Explosives factory: By greatly modifying the genes of algae, it is induced to secrete compound organic explosives. After secretion, the explosives should be divided into two parts. One part forms a solid crystal cluster at the bottom of the culture bottle, and the other part floats to the upper part of the culture solution to form an oil layer. In actual use, The oil layer needs to be completely soaked in solid crystals before detonating]
This is followed by a large picture.
The pictures are full of structural formulas, densely packed with arrows connecting them back and forth to guide the direction of synthesis.
Song He could still understand the structural formulas at the beginning, such as ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate, which are common explosive ingredients.
But as time went on, the structural formulas became more and more complex, and finally four extremely strange substances were derived, two of which were solids and two of which were oils, with strict percentage ranges specified.
Song He was sweating profusely.
Does the system just give you a process diagram?
No specific details on how to modify genes?
This feels like giving a primary school student a schematic diagram for making an atomic bomb, stipulating the critical mass of uranium 235, and asking him to rub it out within a week...
"Liangliang, this is going to overturn the car!" Song He's face turned pale.
My mood was desperate, but my body still moved like it was trying to survive and was busy at a rapid pace.
On the left side of the experimental table, the laptop is open, searching for papers related to genes!
On the right side of the experimental table, a high-power microscope is waiting for the algae in the evolutionary window to observe the entire process of modifying base pairs!
His brain was burning, and every brain cell was carrying a heavy load. Song He made difficult movements, with one eye on the microscope and waiting for the evolutionary window, and the other eye on the computer screen, frantically searching for papers.
This is very uncomfortable and twists your neck so much that you may develop cervical spondylosis, but it saves time!
Huangtian paid off. By one o'clock in the night, he successfully found several papers on genetically modified fungi producing secretions. Several secretions were similar to the process diagrams provided by the system and could be used as reference.
At the same time, Song He took the trouble to watch the base pair modification process dozens of times, memorizing all the ATCG arrangements and high-dimensional folding methods, and his brain was almost bursting!
Drowsiness came over me, and it was time to go to bed.
Song He did not go back to the dormitory. There were carpets and pillows prepared behind the laboratory door. The air conditioner was at a constant temperature and there was no need for a quilt. He lay down and slept!
How can a qualified science and engineering student not have experience laying the floor in a laboratory?
A little after two o'clock, wake up.
Song He returned to the microscope and tried to modify the base pairs to make the algae secrete special substances.
I worked sweating profusely for more than two hours, but made no progress.
Every time a base pair is modified, it affects the whole body, and there will always be unexpected results.
Song He stopped and sat on a chair, deep in thought.
You can't just try your luck. There are so many gene permutations and combinations that it would take a few days to exhaust them all.
The only way out is to understand the deep rules of base modification!
What's the most important thing? Every time a base is modified, the strange shape formed by the high-dimensional folding of DNA! Find out the rules of high-dimensional shapes and the problem will be solved!
High-dimensional shapes…high-dimensional shapes…
Song He thought hard for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and slapped his thigh suddenly.
Why not try brain-inspired programming!
When I first learned about high-dimensional manifolds, I used brain-inspired programming to understand them for a long time, and it was very useful!
Song He excitedly opened his laptop and opened the artificial brain programming.
