Chapter 57 Animal Experimentation
Ding Ding misses the good old days on planet Maca, where he implanted biological computers into every plant, forming a dense and impenetrable surveillance network after networking. On planet Maca, people can even cultivate plants with certain intelligence to serve as monitoring systems, which can transmit images, sounds and other information to the central intelligent system in real-time once someone approaches.
Ding Ding has read some relevant materials from Duan Yue and knows that the Earth can also achieve similar purposes through various video surveillance systems. However, these electronic systems have some unavoidable drawbacks, such as relying on power supply, transmission efficiency of electronic signals, and being affected by weather conditions, which are quite restrictive.
As for using biological computing architecture to build a monitoring system, it can effectively avoid the above-mentioned defects and achieve all-weather and all-round monitoring capabilities.
It's just that nowadays, Dīngdīng can only think about it in his heart, after all, the shadow of biological computers has not yet appeared! Dīngdīng can only try to assist Duàn Lěi, letting him earn money as soon as possible and reach the conditions for developing biological computers earlier.
As the opening date of the horticultural exhibition is getting closer and closer, He Yuanzheng, who is in charge of the layout of the exhibition hall, almost calls Duan Yue every day to describe some situations in the exhibition hall and ask about the progress on Duan's side.
This time, He Yuanzheng pinned his hopes for the future on Duan Lei, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the layout of the exhibition hall. Even the newly renovated and reopened restaurant was entrusted to employees for management, while he spent all day in the exhibition hall.
It was with the help of He Yuanzheng that Duan Lei was able to focus on modifying the small leaf and planning the experimental base, which led to rapid changes.
It's only been a week, and the 'Devil's Rose' has already grown to the top of the wall, from the base it looks like a green ivy wall standing around the base. If these roses bloom in the future, it will be even more visually impactful!
Duan Lei, in order to verify the power of these 'Devil's Roses' is as magical as Dang Dang said, specially asked Huang Jingcai to help him buy a small pig from the pig farm for experimentation. Of course, Duan Lei did not dare to risk his own body to try the 'Devil's Rose' with its black-glowing long thorns!
Huang Jingcai had just delivered the little pig to the experimental base when Duan Lei opened the cage and closely observed its every move.
The little pig who gained freedom, although just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, was quite happy and ran wildly in the open space of the base, with a carefree appearance. Unfortunately, good times didn't last long, while running, it suddenly crashed into the green vine wall, and things took a turn for the worse!
Duan Yue clearly saw that the moment the little pig collided with the 'Devil's Rose', the originally static vine wall suddenly came to life, and several branches rushed towards the little pig with lightning speed.
Before the little pig could react, those vines were like snakes, tightly wrapping around it, unable to move. Having received the attack, the panicked little pig immediately let out a loud scream, desperately struggling to break free from the entanglement of the vines. Unfortunately, the more it struggled, the tighter the 'Devil's Rose' vines wrapped around it, until only its mouth could make sounds, while the rest of its body was tightly trapped by the vines, unable to move at all!
At this time, Duan Yue saw a long thorn with a dark luster appear like a ghost, and then slowly pierced into the little pig's body! Soon, the little pig's voice became weak, and finally barely audible!
Duan Lei was suddenly frightened by this scene!
It's worth noting that pigs are, aside from chimpanzees and gorillas, the species closest to humans. 83% of their genes are identical to those of humans, and scientists have even begun researching how to use pigs as vessels for cultivating organs suitable for human transplantation. A small pig was knocked down by the toxic thorns of 'Devil's Rose' in less than ten seconds; it's likely that a human wouldn't last much longer!
"Now these 'Devil's Roses' are still a bit tender, after continuing to cultivate for a period of time, they will meet the requirements!" Dangdang said with some regret as he looked at Xiaozhu who had fainted.
"Can it get any stronger?" Dīng dīng's words also startled Duàn Lěi!
"Of course! How else can it be called 'Devil's Rose'?" Tingting was very dissatisfied with Duan Lei's suspicion and explained, "When these 'Devil's Roses' mature, it will only take about five seconds to knock down an adult, guaranteed without a sound!"
At this time, the vines that had just tied up the little pig seemed to have completed their mission and slowly withdrew, restoring the ancient well's calm appearance. However, Duan Lei no longer dared to underestimate these harmless-looking vines, for hidden behind their beauty was a ruthless killing intent!
On the ground, only a small pig was left lying down. If it weren't for its slightly heaving belly, Duan Lei would have thought it had kicked the bucket already. The little pig was placed in a small house made of bricks and asbestos tiles, where it might be used as a test subject to verify the effects of many reagents in the future.
There's no way around it, in the future, more products will be born in Duan Lei's laboratory, and before that, some animal experiments need to be carried out. Duan Lei can only focus on this for now. It is worth noting that many advanced biological laboratories or pharmaceutical laboratories require a large number of animal experiments, and there are even specialized breeding farms that cultivate sterile animals for laboratory use.
According to Duan Lei, Hai Da already has a breeding farm that cultivates small white mice, big white mice, rabbits and other sterile animals for the use of experiments in medical school, pharmacy school, veterinary department and so on. When Duan Lei's laboratory expands in scale and is well-funded, he still has to buy some sterile animals from the university's breeding farm for various drug tests.
After an astonishing animal experiment, Duan Lei was finally able to confirm that what Dingdang said was not discounted at all, and with the existence of 'Devil's Rose', the safety of the laboratory was guaranteed to a certain extent. Of course, in order to achieve the state described by Dingdang as "not even flies can fly in", Duan Lei still needs to make continuous efforts and obtain more resources to achieve it.
The safety issues in the laboratory have been alleviated to some extent, and Duan Lei's focus has shifted back to the work of cultivating 'pollution-absorbing plants'. After all, there are only a few days left before the opening of the International Horticultural Expo, and Duan Lei still has a lot of work to do. The exhibition hall on the other side has been arranged according to Duan Lei's requirements by He Yuanzheng, and is waiting for Duan Lei to deliver the cultivated 'pollution-absorbing plants'. Of course, the heavily polluted water used for comparison experiments will also be displayed on site, and it will be fine to just take some from the rivers and ponds near Cai Village.
Unlike the last time when he cultivated 'pollution-tolerant elodea' by the pond, Duan Lei chose to cultivate it in a large ceramic vat this time, so that the root system of 'pollution-tolerant elodea' can be temporarily limited to a small range, making it convenient for transportation!
Now, inside the experimental base, twenty large pots have already grown thick-armed purification willows as thick as an arm, waiting for the moment to be sent to the exhibition hall and show off their splendor!
