Bacteriophage is a kind of life that exists in nature. Although it is a living organism that swallows bacteria, it is actually a type of virus. A mass of genetic material wrapped in a shell of protein and has a tail.

The special thing about phages is that they use bacteria as the host, which can automatically find and identify target bacteria, and then use their tail to adsorb the bacteria's cell wall to invade. A gap is opened in the bacteria's cell wall through lysozyme. The tail sheath of the tail contracts like actosin, exposing the tail axis, and suddenly pierces into the cell wall. Just like a syringe, the genetic material on the head, that is, DNA, is injected into the bacteria's cell wall.

Finally, DNA hijacks and transforms the substances of the bacteria themselves, changes everything of bacteria into phage DNA, grows into phages, and breaks out of the shell.

This series of operations is extremely complex, including identification, action, inheritance, hijacking, etc. The structural appearance is similar to that of a robot, but the phage itself is very small, only 001-01 microns, that is, 10 nanometers to 100 nanometers.

A robot with super functional function at such a scale is indeed an excellent template for nanorobots.

However, it is absolutely impossible to use metal materials or composite materials to make robots of this level of level. It can only be cultivated through biotechnology and specific means and materials.

"Can be used with gene editing technology..."

Zhou Feiyu thought to himself.

Just as he was conducting new research, there were some new research progress in the agricultural research department.

"Boss, the No. 1 rice verified in the second half of the year has achieved a little results through the feeding verification of teenage mice in the past two months..."

At noon, during the meal, Huang Hongsheng, the director of the Agricultural Research Department, found him and briefly reported on the recent work progress while eating.

Rice No. 1, which is a rice variety edited by Zhou Feiyu's gene, was tested for a gene fragment of a "polysaccharide synthesis gene". It is expected that polysaccharides can be produced in rice. Just like health products such as Xianggu, Ganoderma lucidum, and wolfberry, it produces various polysaccharides that are beneficial to the human body. Xianggu polysaccharides and wolfberry polysaccharides.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rice was harvested and the mice were arranged to try it out as soon as possible.

This kind of rice is a true genetically modified rice. No one knows what effect will it produce after eating it, and no one dares to try it as soon as possible.

Even if it is Zhou Feiyu, the creator, who is cheating, he doesn't dare to do so. His body is important.

If there is a three-length and two-length shortness, it will be a big loss.

As for the people in the Agricultural Research Department, there are warriors, but Zhou Feiyu issued a ban and fired anyone who does it randomly. He doesn't want to cause a lot of trouble later.

Therefore, it must follow the formal process.

Feed the mice for a while and then feed them to primates when they are fine. In the end, there is no problem. Only when there is sufficient data to prove that it is beneficial will volunteers be arranged.

This process is quite long, and there is no need to think about it for two or three years, and it may not even have any results unless it is an emergency. Just like a global virus cold, vaccines from major pharmaceutical companies are urgently approved for the launch of the market.

This is also the reason why medicine is becoming more and more expensive. It is really because the cost in the R&D stage is too expensive!

"Oh, what's the result?"

Zhou Feiyu asked calmly. Most of his mind was still thinking about biological nanorobots, and he was not very concerned about genetically modified rice that took several years to produce results.

Huang Hongsheng also understood, but he was afraid that his young boss would not be patient, so he took advantage of the boss' time to come here to do research and report good news, so that the boss would be more confident and continue to invest money later.

There are too many such things. Huang Hongsheng has seen a lot of them, and his circle of friends is even more common.

Although the investment boss is very enthusiastic at the beginning, he has no results after half a year, and he immediately becomes impatient. When there is no results in two or three years, most of the investment bosses explode on the spot and leave directly. There are only a few bosses who can persist, and most of them continue to get good news and bring it to the basis of venture capital.

Although it is unlikely that a boss like Zhou Feiyu who has strong skills will be impatient after a year or two, Huang Hongsheng feels that he still needs some feedback.

"I tested more than a dozen groups of mice with different conditions, and each group was divided into some situations, which were differentiated from the length of feeding time, portion size, etc. We found that the longer the feeding time, the higher the functions of their bodies. Whether it is in terms of reflection, sensitivity, or even wisdom, it has improved..."

Huang Hongsheng said in detail: "But it is not without its shortcomings. The longer the mice are fed, their physical functions are indeed improving, but their spirits are becoming more excited, including the increase in fighting, and even some signs of bloodthirst."

"Bloodthirsty?"

Zhou Feiyu was stunned when he heard this and smiled and said, "Can you still be crazy?"

Taking too much supplements means bleeding from nose. This is the first time he has heard of "bloodthirst". But if you think about it carefully, you can't rule out this possibility. After all, no gene exists in isolation. It is related to other genes and affects each other.

Many times, when Zhou Feiyu actually wants to laugh when watching news reports, looking at what pruning a certain gene can make people look beautiful, and pruning a certain gene can resist the invasion of HIV, etc., do these people think that the genes in the human body are isolated?

Even if you build a building block, each building block does exist in isolation, but if you remove the building blocks below, don’t the building blocks on them collapse?

Yes, individual building blocks exist in isolation, but in the process of building blocks, you have already built the connection between these isolated building blocks and are no longer simply isolated.

The same is true for pruning genes. If you build this gene, it seems that only the characteristics expressed by this gene will change, but in fact, many places on the whole have changed, but it is not as obvious as the characteristics expressed by this gene.

"It is not ruled out that rice No. 1 has this effect."

Huang Hongsheng laughed and said, "Maybe the effect of Rice No. 1 is too strong. At the beginning of next spring, I will use primates to conduct the next step of experiments to compare the performance of feeding Rice No. 1 in different species."

"Yes, you can do it."

Zhou Feiyu nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, boss!"

Huang Hongsheng said immediately.

"By the way, are there any new progress in the research on intercosal disc herniation?"

Zhou Feiyu then asked about another genetic research project.

Huang Hongsheng shook his head and replied: "Although we have done a lot of work and studied some mechanisms, we have encountered bottlenecks in the treatment direction. The protruding crests have basically degenerated. If we want to repair them, we have not found the direction yet."
