Chapter 81 Backup Plan
After the meeting.
People 's fear of the great powers such as America also decreased a little, at least no one felt that they had no chance of winning.
However, to completely eliminate this fear, it may be necessary to fight the great powers with real swords and guns to completely eliminate the deep-rooted fear in our hearts.
Xu Yingming and others returned in batches by submarine.
Li Qingye came to his own exclusive laboratory, where hundreds of soldier assistants and five spider web managers with scientific research capabilities were busy.
"Boss, Project 506 has completed the final test." Manager Buck reported to him.
Li Qingye raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Go and take a look."
Soon, Buck took him to the exclusive research area of Laboratory 506, which was an edible fungus laboratory.
In fact, the five managers are mainly engaged in civilian projects. As for weapons projects, they are all led by Li Qingye himself.
After passing through layers of gates and disinfection, they came into the laboratory.
Through the composite glass windows, you can see the interior of the room. On the rows of shelves are rows of small gray-white umbrellas.
On top of the shelf is the culture medium which is about 15 cm thick.
"After many comparisons, we found that during the death of termites, a special hormone is released in large quantities, which promotes the reproduction of the chicken mushroom..."
"In addition, there must be termites in the termite nest, because the activities of termites will increase the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the nest and regulate the temperature and humidity of the nest..."
After listening to Buck's explanation, Li Qingye obviously understood the symbiotic relationship between Alternaria japonica and termites.
Buck continued: "So we simulated the temperature, humidity, soil pH, gas concentration, hormones and organic matter content of the nest, and finally found a solution with the best cost-effectiveness."
"According to this plan, we developed a culture medium that simulates termite nests. On average, Altissima can be grown once every eight days, and one culture medium can grow three crops of Altissima."
Li Qingye casually asked: "What is the cost? What is the yield per mu?"
"The cost is divided into two parts. One part is the investment in equipment and site. We must build a sealed site with constant temperature and humidity, as well as adjustable gas concentration."
Buck continued, "The other part is the cost of consumables, mainly culture medium and hormones. One square meter of culture medium costs about 3 yuan. If it is mass-produced, it should be possible to reduce it a little."
"One acre of culture medium can produce about 13,000 to 15,000 kilograms of fresh Alternaria albuminosa, which is the output of three crops combined."
Li Qingye evaluated that this technology was ready for commercialization. He thought for a while:
"You organize the technology and appoint a technical consultant to Haitian Agriculture. I will instruct Zhang Wei to promote this technology."
"Thank you, boss!" Buck knew he had made it.
In general, technical personnel in a smart company have a third source of income in addition to fixed salary and performance points, which is technology dividends.
Being a nominal technical consultant means that this person's technology will be commercialized and he will automatically receive dividends after the product generates profits.
The dividend ratio is usually 1-3% of the total profit of the technology. This dividend is valid for life but is not inheritable.
In fact, Sapiens is already very conscientious. If other commercial companies invest in scientific research projects, both the patent ownership and the product profits will be monopolized by the company, and the researchers will be given a little bonus at most.
Nowadays, many graduate students have become scientific research workers for capital. Unless they are very famous scientists, they can only work like slaves for capital.
Although Li Qingye is just as evil, at least he is nice to his own people.
After inspecting the chicken mushroom project in the edible fungus laboratory, he, under the guidance of Buck, visited the research progress of edible fungi such as Matsutake, white truffle, black truffle, and red mushroom.
These edible fungi have two characteristics: they are precious and cannot be cultivated artificially.
As long as low-cost mass production technology can be developed, the profits will still be very considerable.
Afterwards, Li Qingye visited several other laboratories. Although they did not have any valuable technologies, their development momentum satisfied him. At least they shared some of his research topics, allowing him to concentrate on researching some important projects.
Li Qingye returned to his laboratory.
His current research focuses on genetic modification, biological weapons, biological computers, and gene therapy.
Li Qingye had to take the physical problem seriously. After all, the length of chromosome telomeres indicated the degree of cell aging.
Although his body was treated with various drugs at this time, it was still difficult to improve the side effects caused by genetic modification.
In the laboratory's incubator.
An embryo is immersed in simulated amniotic fluid and developing slowly.
This was one of his backup plans.
Human cloning program.
Before the genetic modification, he secretly preserved a portion of his own stem cells and stored them in the laboratory refrigerator in Jiangcheng.
When leaving China, he secretly asked the school girl he knew to mail the stem cells to Hong Kong.
Afterwards, he retrieved the frozen stem cells in Hong Kong in the name of Zhang Jack.
Now, through that stem cell, an embryo is cultivated again, and this embryo is your own clone.
Li Qingye knew very well that if he could not find a safe gene therapy plan within the next ten years, he would only be able to revive the body through cloning.
Therefore, he made a lot of preparations, including implanting a biochip in himself to ensure that his memory would not be lost.
Although in the eyes of many people, the clone and the original may not be the same person, Li Qingye does not mind. As long as his memory becomes the memory of the clone, the clone is himself.
For this reason, the clones being cultivated must not have any memories so as to avoid memory confusion.
However, to ensure that the original memory is completely implanted into the clone's brain, the current memory transfer technology is still difficult.
Li Qingye's memory transmission technology cannot accurately transmit memory information through neural signals, but instead adopts a compromise implementation method - namely, sensory information simulation memory scheme.
The principle of this plan is very simple, which is to cover the body with a special layer of artificial sensory cells, and then decompose one's own memory into various sensory information, and then transmit it to the clone's physical senses through these artificial sensory cells.
In this way, the clone can experience Li Qingye's original life through artificial senses.
In addition, Li Qingye has a second plan.
Then it’s the genetic memory inheritance plan.
This plan is to use DNA storage technology, combined with safe genetic modification technology, to allow one's own clones to complete genetic modification, and during the modification process, activate all the information stored in one's DNA.
At present, with Li Qingye's in-depth research on genetic modification technology, genetic modification technology has become more and more mature and complete.
For example, the life span of soldiers will be reduced by only 12 to 14 years for each transformation.
The lifespan of his clones is probably around 60 to 70 years, so wasting a dozen years is still acceptable.
Of course, he doesn't want to abandon his original body unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, there are certain risks in the process of transferring memories to the clone's brain.
