"It can independently absorb chemical elements, obtain energy through chemical reactions, and at the same time transform into the substances it needs."

"This means that, except for the initial stage, subsequent plants do not need watering and can synthesize water by themselves."

"This ability is really strong."

Looking at the comments about this plant, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Although ordinary plants obtain fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, they then synthesize starch and other organic substances through photosynthetic reactions.

With other chemical elements, the reaction obtains energy and synthesizes other needed elements.

The two are consistent at the logical and chemical levels.

But obviously, the latter is more difficult, so difficult that people have to lament the miracle of life.

"The only pity is that the growth rate is too slow."

"If the growth rate is strong, this would be the perfect planet-modifying plant."

Proficient in all kinds of aerospace knowledge, including some common sense about planets.

Chen Yi understood, just from the perspective of elements.

There is no shortage of things like water in the universe.

Because the abundance of both oxygen and hydrogen in the universe is extremely high.

For example, on the moon, oxygen accounts for 45%.

The hydrogen element generally exists in the form of water molecules on solid planets, and its content is small.

But according to the latest lunar research data, there is a large amount of water ice at the poles of the moon. The presence of water means a large amount of hydrogen.

If such plants were planted at the poles of the moon.

Take care of it in the early stage, and you can let it grow in the later stage.

When the plant grows to a certain extent, it can capture the hydrogen traveling in space through element adsorption and radiation absorption, and combine it with the moon's amazing oxygen content to transform the planet. This is no longer a dream at all.

"The production cycle of the battleship is still 9 days, so it's still early."

"First refresh all the attributes to see if you can cultivate a plant with stronger initial attributes."

A rough plan was determined.

Chen Yi was not in a hurry, but decided to refresh his attributes first.

Plants are living things and can grow naturally.

It's unclear what will happen after the adjustment.

Chen Yi erred on the side of caution, put on protective clothing, carried the plant to Xuannv's laboratory, found a corner and began to adjust it.

A thought came to my mind.

Colorful lights bloom.

When the light dissipated, the plants in front of them had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original green plant looked like a black sunflower.

Big leaves, big flowers.

The sun pursues the sky in its natural rotation.

【Photosynthesis: 7.6→29.9】

[Radiation-growing plants→Super light plants]

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

"29.9 is the limit, and the name has become light energy plants."

“Is this a sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies?

Looking at the completely changed plant, Chen Yi complained in his heart and chose to read it.

call! A lot of information comes to mind.

This information includes the structure of cells, the structure of plants, specific biochemical reaction processes, corresponding biochemical mechanisms, and the core genetic information.

With the help of the system, Chen Yi quickly absorbed this information.

"Biological structures, cell structures, and corresponding genetic information."

"The basic principle of this cellular structure absorbing sunlight is somewhat similar to that of solar panels, but the subsequent step is not to convert electrical energy, but to directly utilize light energy."

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully, cut a branch and gave it to Xuannv.

At the same time, the read technical information is transmitted to Xuannv through the brain wave sensor.

Let Xuannv see if these more powerful plant functions can be cultivated through genetic modification technology.

"Next property, radiation absorption."

[Radiation absorption: 6→55]

[Super light energy plant → Radiation cleaning plant]

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

"54, no more than the sum of other attributes. Read!"

Watching the sunflowers in front of me turn into vines, the vines also grow many flocs, like filter-like plants.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and continued to choose to read.

"The cell structure is similar to the structure of the light energy plant just now."

"But it's significantly more robust and more tolerant."

"There are also some biological structures similar to electric fields, which should be used to adsorb and capture alpha particles and beta decay."

"With this thing, coupled with the laser defense array, the little boy can really only listen to the sound and set it off like fireworks."

Chen Yi cut off a section of the vine as usual.

Together with the read technical information, they were handed over to Xuannv for cultivating transgenes.

"Continue, continue, next, element adsorption"

[Element adsorption: 19.9→54.9]

[Radiation growth plants → Elemental decomposition plants]

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

The vines turned back into plants.

It is still a plant with a well-developed root system, a large number of aerial roots, and wide leaves, similar to an enhanced version of Ficus macrophylla.

"Element adsorption reading with 54.9 attributes!"

"The cell structure this time is somewhat similar to biofilm, but it is not as good as the metamorphosis of biofilm."

"But this thing is bred."

"The battleship can carry a few seeds to the moon or Mars, and there is no need to worry about running out of fuel or propellant."

Chen Yi also cut off the branches and sent them to Xuannv's laboratory.

The next step is conversion efficiency.

[Conversion efficiency: 19.6→55.6]

[Super light energy plants → organic high-yielding plants]

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

"55.6, which is exactly the sum of other attributes, is pretty good, read."

Looking at the plants that had not changed much except for growing taller, Chen Yi chose to read.

boom! A flood of information blooms in the mind.

The information this time is about how plants efficiently absorb nutrients, organic matter, and energy, and transform and fix the biological structures into their own tissues or fruits.

The efficiency is very high, conservatively estimated to be 20 times that of potatoes.

At the same time, how to convert the adsorbed elements into various required substances through a series of reactions.

There is even some information that directly absorbs carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen and other elements from the air and converts them into organic starch, moisture and other cell structures and genes.

After digesting and understanding all the information, Chen Yi was a little stunned.

"This, combined with the element-absorbing genes, is then genetically modified into food crops, producing an output of 30,000 kilograms per mu in minutes."

“This is the genetics of a super crop and a biological version of artificial starch technology.”

Chen Yi couldn't help shouting.

If the country had not just "invested and contracted" 1.9 billion acres of high-quality farmland across the country, it would have greatly eased the pressure on farming.

Such genes and cellular structures are totally worth engaging in a firefight.

"It's better to save a portion and try genetic modification."

"After all, there is only too much food, not too little."

"Whenever I'm bored, it's not bad to farm at the base."

Chen Yi took a deep breath and cut off a branch.

I decided to introduce this harmless genetic modification into crops when I have time, and try to farm it myself.

"Keep going!"

【Independent energy: 21.9→54.9】

[Organic high-yielding plants → efficient chemical energy trees]

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

"Read!"

Read information.

Half an hour later, Chen Yi's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"It's really a chemical energy tree."

"When a single plant fully grows, it can stably output about 20 kilowatts of heat energy by absorbing chemical elements from the air and land and performing chemical reactions.

At the same time, the special cell structure can withstand high temperatures of 70 degrees Celsius, whether it is for heating or boiling water to generate electricity. "

"The disadvantage is that once the effective chemical elements of the land are exhausted, the power will drop to 100 watts only by absorbing elements from the atmosphere."

“An upgraded version of fertilizing and heating trees.”

“If the growth rate is high, this is the most suitable tree species for survival in the winter wilderness.

Take out the seeds when they are about to freeze to death.

Plant a tree, build a tree house, and the cold weather will warm up in minutes. "

Nuclear fusion breaks through.

There is no worry about energy at this stage.

Chen Yi never thought about how to use such a plant.

However, in order to increase reserves and also improve the initial attributes of the plant through genetic modification, Chen Yi cut off a small section of the plant and gave it to Xuannv to cultivate.

"The next step is the critical growth rate."

【Growth speed: 2.2→19.9】

[The detection item reaches the quantum realm, and the consciousness wave consumption of the adjustment increases a thousand times. Do you want to continue the adjustment? whether】

"Well, 19.9 is the normal limit?"

Chen Yi was stunned and thought for a moment: "Continue!"

After millions of waves of consciousness were consumed, the original plant suddenly broke through its normal limits and entered a new level.

【Growth speed: 19.9→55.2】

【Bioenergy Plant→Planet Vine】

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

[Note: This is a plant whose growth rate breaks through many limits, breaks the rules, and has preliminary planet transformation capabilities. If Blue Star becomes barren one day, its powerful growth rate can allow it to repaint Blue Star within a few years. green. 】

The glow of system adjustments fades.

The energy plant that was originally like an iron tree turned into a green vine, and its cell structure and plant shape all changed.

What's even more shocking is that it only took a moment.

The vines in the culture pot spread down and began to grow on the ground and in other directions.

At first, the speed was average, but when it grew to a certain length, the speed became faster and faster, and finally it was a few minutes faster than normal people walking.

Spreading more than ten meters, the vines began to bear buds and fruits.

With a bang, the flower buds exploded.

Sesame-like seeds flew away and fell into an area of ​​tens of meters in radius.

The seeds that fell on the floor did not respond.

But the seeds that landed in the culture soil or culture solution immediately began to break out of their shells and grow.

"Fuck!"

Chen Yi opened his eyes wide.

This thing, a plant out-of-control craze?

Bah!

At this time, bursts of slow growth fluid sprayed out from the top of the laboratory, covering the entire area.

The growth of the vines, which had been spreading rapidly, suddenly stopped.

Then the robots came one by one.

Start the vacuum cleaner and clean up all the seeds.

"Brother Chen Yi, you are so awesome."

"I have been researching for so long to try to break through the growth rate of plants but I still haven't succeeded. You did it all at once."

Xuannv's surprised voice sounded in the laboratory.

"Cut out each part and show it to me under a microscope."

Chen Yi ignored Xuannv's shouts, looked at the vines that had stopped growing, and motioned to Xuannv to cut some tissue so that he could see for himself.

"There is no apical growth advantage."

"In other words, the entire plant has an apical advantage."

"There is a direct relationship between growth rate and nutrient concentration."

After spraying the growth fluid and briefly checking the cell activity with a microscope, Chen Yi was shocked and relieved at the same time.

Fortunately, it's controllable.

For conventional plants, the parts that really spread and grow are more at the top. This is called the top growth advantage of the plant.

Except for the top, growth is slow elsewhere.

But with this plant, there is no such concept at all, and the entire plant can grow at full speed.

The result is that the longer the vine plant is, the faster it grows.

Originally, Chen Yi thought that if this thing grew so fast, it would break through the quantum realm and directly obtain the zero-point energy of the vacuum, absorbing the energy of the void to grow.

But after observation, it was found that it was not.

This is reassuring.

As long as it still needs to absorb nutrients from the soil or air to grow, the plant will not reach the point of getting out of control.

The reason why it can grow so fast is that it is rooted in special culture soil, which is extremely nutritious.

If we switch to the ordinary land of Blue Star, the growth rate will definitely be greatly reduced.

If you switch to the moon, switch to Mars.

Well, if you don’t have enough nutrients and energy, it’s good if you can maintain growth without starving to death, but you still want to grow at a super speed?

"Final Intensity"

Chen Yi thought, and colorful lights bloomed.

【Strength: 26.9→39.9】

[The detection item reaches the quantum realm, and the consciousness wave consumption of the adjustment increases a thousand times. Do you want to continue the adjustment? whether】

"Is this also going to push the limits?"

Chen Yi looked stunned and said without hesitation: "Continue!"

[Strength: 39.9→54.9]

[Planet Vine→Artificial Plant Weapon]

[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】

[Note: This is an artificial plant weapon that has undergone rigorous genetic modification, has amazing genetic strength, and is strictly controlled by genes. 】

"Artificial plant weapons?"

Chen Yi looked at the name of the plant, vaguely realized something in his heart, and chose to read the information.

boom! A flood of information blooms in the mind.

Chen Yi absorbed and digested the information, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"A variety of plants, no, a variety of biological genetic codes, as well as supporting artificial coding technology."

"It can strictly control the natural apoptosis and reproduction number of organisms, and encode various functions of organisms."

"You can also use different pheromones to induce hidden gene functions or induce the withering of organisms."

"This thing is the key to biogenetic technology."

"With this, we no longer have to worry about plants getting out of control and causing a plant frenzy."

Chen Yi looked surprised, handed the relevant information to Xuannv, and ordered: "Xuannv, cultivate all the plants, and then conduct genetic modification.

Let’s see if we can cultivate a plant with stronger initial attributes in the next few days. "

Biological cultivation, plant cultivation.

Chen Yi is still in the stage of talking on paper.

Although his reading technology and information make him as good as any big boss in the field of biological genes.

But if you really want to put it into practice, it probably requires nothing more than experience in biological reproduction.

High school students have more experience and practical abilities than he does.

"Okay, brother Chen Yi."

Xuannv was very happy about this task.

He controlled the mechanical arms to disinfect all the branches and vines, then cut them into pieces.

Then sterile culture is carried out in a petri dish to cultivate callus and grow new plants.

Section again and culture aseptically.

Ensure that the number of each plant is more than 100,000.

The reason why there are so many.

This is because the efficiency and success rate of unstable transgenic breeding are not as high as imagined.

Increasing the number of plants and conducting multiple transgenic breedings can improve the final success rate and efficiency.

A week passed.

The supercomputing center at the base has always maintained maximum power performance.

The laboratory has countless high-precision robotic arms and robots, as well as biological and genetic instruments. Under Xuannv's control, various plant cultivation and transgenic cultivation are constantly being carried out.

Finally on the eighth day.

Two black sunflower-like plants soaked in slow-growing liquid, no more than 8 centimeters tall, were presented to Chen Yi.

Carefully complete a mutual grafting.

An attribute interface popped up in front of Chen Yi.

[Item: Super Photosynthetic Planet Plant]

[Items: photosynthesis x19.6, radiation absorption x51.3, element adsorption x52.1, conversion efficiency 49.9, independent energy x5.2, growth speed 54.3, strength x1.2]

[The detection items exceed the limits of conventional fields, and the adjusted consciousness wave consumption increases a thousand times. 】

[Note: This is a plant with super strong photosynthesis and radiation absorption capabilities, and can easily transform planets in near-solar orbits and even near-neutron star orbits.

Unfortunately, the unstable genetic sequence puts its growth at a very high risk of plant collapse. 】

"It seems that the success rate of genetically modified breeding is still average."

"According to Xuannv's ability, there is still one gene that has not been successfully transgenic."

"In addition, the stability of the genetic sequence after transgenesis has almost dropped to the extreme."

Looking at the interface in front of him, Chen Yi thought for a while.

"A qualified planet-modified plant has element adsorption, conversion efficiency, independent energy, growth speed, and genetic control. These are the core attributes."

"Photosynthesis requires higher water, which will increase water transpiration, and the cost-effectiveness of retention is not high."

"If radiation is absorbed, plants that take root on the moon will not need radiation for energy. It does not need to be too strong, as long as it can withstand the radiation in space."

"Only when encountering extremely hot planets like Venus or Mercury, radiation absorption is the core."

"Unfortunately, the other foundations of Xuannv Biotechnology Building, the energy cells and magnetic field cells that absorb electrical energy, have not even been developed yet."

"Otherwise, if such a plant is paired with magnetic field cells, it will not be a planet-modifying plant, but a planet-rebuilding plant, the legendary World Tree."

"As long as the gravity is not too abnormal, or the planet is too close to the star and the heat is too strong to digest, it can be reshaped into a suitable planet."

Chen Yi shook his head with regret.

Colorful lights bloom.

Covering the plants in front of you.

When the light dissipated, what was revealed in front of Chen Yi was a white vine with a little bit of colorful brilliance.

[Item: Planet Transformation Biological Weapon]

[Items: photosynthesis x1.6, radiation absorption x10.3, element adsorption x50.1, conversion efficiency 50.9, independent energy x40.2, growth speed 50.3, strength x40.2]

[Note: This is a biological weapon plant that can adapt to most planetary environments. As long as it is rich in various elements, it can survive without water and fertilizer.

Its powerful growth rate and strict genetic sequence make it capable of transforming most planets.

Specific gases can be released according to genetic compilation requirements to reconstruct the planet's atmosphere, and specific organic and inorganic compounds can be produced to reconstruct the planet's soil environment.

Of course, having mastered the gene sequence, you can use special pheromones to stimulate and change its dominant function, or let it reproduce for a number of generations before collapsing]

"It actually turned into a biological weapon."

"Now, we can land on the moon and plant trees on the moon."

"When I have free time, I can also build a lunar forest and let everyone plant trees together."
