Chapter 2123 A new tactic in biological warfareplant warfare!
The growth of any plant requires sufficient nutrients. Without nutrients, plant growth will slowly stop. Yang Fang said with a smile: "This is also in line with the law of conservation of energy."
While Yang Fang was talking, although the plants inside were still moving, the movement was getting smaller and smaller. Upon seeing this, Yang Fang signaled the staff to open it.
I saw two experimenters opening the glass door, and suddenly piles of vines poured out.
Yang Fang sorted out a very ugly and even deformed pumpkin from the vine, and then introduced it with a smile to everyone: "This technology is still very immature, although we can make it very fast.
It grows, but it cannot control its growth process, making its growth and development very unstable. Therefore, both the vines and the fruits produced will have such developmental abnormalities.
Of course, because the growth rate is too fast, it may cause defects in its genes, which may cause some problems. At present, we have relatively little research in this area, so we cannot yet determine the safety of this technology, especially
It is the safety of eating as agricultural products.”
Hearing Yang Fang's words, Zhang Jun waved his hands repeatedly: "The kind just now was acceptable, but this kind is completely unacceptable. No matter how delicious it is, I can't eat this food. It's too disgusting."
Zhang Jun's words were nodded in agreement by everyone present. Indeed, this kind of thing looked a little scary. It was definitely impossible for everyone to eat the fruits and vegetables grown by this plant.
How did you do it? Wu Hao ignored Zhang Jun's words and asked Yang Fang.
Hearing his question, everyone stopped talking and looked at Yang Fang. Indeed, compared to others, they seemed more like how this technology was realized, which was unprecedented.
Yang Fang smiled and said: "Actually, this is the result of our phased research on fast-growing technology. Haven't we been studying fast-growing plant gene technology?
Through gene comparison of different plants, we found that most of their genes are the same, and among these genes, we found genes that also control plant growth. These gene sequences directly control how and how these plants grow.
, what it will grow into.
From these growth genes, we directly screened out the genes that control the growth rate, and then began to continuously try to manually intervene and edit this gene sequence to change the growth rate of plants.
The gourds, cucumbers, and pumpkins you see in front are actually all improved and cultivated based on this technology. However, the technology previously applied to gourds and cucumbers is relatively stable.
This technology applied to pumpkins is difficult to control because the growth rate is too fast.
Based on such a fast growth rate, we need to modify other genetic sequences of the plant so that they can adapt to such a fast growth rate, so that the pumpkins that grow will not be so ugly."
I feel that this technology is of no use. The growth rate just now is enough. This growth rate is too fast and is completely unnecessary. Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly. Obviously this guy received the fast-growing pumpkin just now.
I am excited about the vines and have some prejudice against this technology.
At present, we are only in the experimental stage and may not actually use it. And in some cases, this technology still has its certain uses. Yang Fang said with a smile.
For example? Zhang Jun asked.
For example, plant warfare! Wu Hao spoke for Yang Fang.
Plant warfare?
What the hell, do you think it’s really Plants vs. Zombies? Zhang Jun said angrily.
Why not? If our technology achieves a breakthrough, we might not be able to cultivate some of the plant species in Plants vs. Zombies. Wu Hao said with a smile.
He also suddenly came up with this idea after witnessing the rapid growth of this pumpkin vine.
"You are a little obsessed. Can any technology be used in the military?" You have this kind of technology, how can it be used in military warfare? Zhang Jun was obviously not convinced by Wu Hao's statement, and then rushed
Ask him.
After hearing Zhang Jun's words, everyone turned to look at him. Obviously they were a little skeptical of Wu Hao's statement. This technology is amazing, but how can a plant vine be used in the field of military warfare?
Faced with everyone's doubtful and curious eyes, Wu Hao could only smile and nodded: "Okay, then I will give you some ideas on the application of this technology in the field of military warfare.
First of all, the first thing I can think of is battlefield camouflage."
Battlefield camouflage?
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and many people also reacted and nodded immediately.
Wu Hao smiled and said: "Yes, battlefield camouflage, everyone knows that in order to prevent our military weapons, equipment and facilities from being discovered by enemy satellites, aircraft, personnel and other detection means, so at this time we need to monitor these weapons and equipment and
Military installations use some camouflage to allow them to avoid detection.
From this point of view, the camouflage uniforms worn by soldiers, the ghillie suits worn by snipers, and the paint on tanks are all used for camouflage.
What we call camouflage in a narrow sense means additional camouflage for these weapons and equipment and military facilities, such as covering them with camouflage nets, or artificially covering them with branches or the like to camouflage them.
No matter which method is used, their camouflage speed is relatively slow, and the effect is not necessarily good.
If we can apply this rapid growth technology to camouflage weapons, equipment and military facilities on the battlefield, then we only need to scatter some seeds, and these seeds will quickly sprout and grow, and these weapons, equipment and military facilities will be transformed into extraordinary
Good disguise.
Moreover, these camouflages are all alive and can naturally block heat and reduce infrared signatures. In this way, even if the enemy has more advanced detection technology, it may be difficult to detect it.
For example, we want to set up a defensive position somewhere. These newly dug trench fortifications are easily discovered by enemy reconnaissance because of the destruction of vegetation by taking soil. But if we use this rapid growth technology,
Then we can quickly camouflage and cover these newly picked up trenches and fortifications. In this way, the vegetation that grows around them will be the same, and it will be difficult for the enemy to find them hidden under these dense plants.
This is our army.
Similarly, this fast-growing plant is also suitable for camouflage and hiding some large armored targets, such as armored vehicles, tanks, anti-aircraft missile sites, or important units such as command centers, communication centers, and logistics supply centers.
