Chapter 238
When the time comes, the project team all sets off to the ground lecture hall.
According to the original plan, Team Leader Wu took the stage first to summarize the results and talk about what has been done. After he praised everyone who had actually done the work, Lan Ze took the stage immediately, thanked the colleagues in each group again, and began to talk about the next steps.
Several design solutions tested and prospects for future applications.
Lanze designed microorganisms for the functional index of "anti-nuclear radiation", mainly around the membrane structure. But there are also other organelles to cooperate.
The solution currently being tested is a membrane structure stacked like tiles.
Every solution waiting to be tested later was very interesting. So he picked a few representative ones, connected them to a portable workstation with an external projection device, and projected hand-drawn diagrams. He looked at the pictures and talked, to entertain the audience.
As long as the review committee is happy, the funds can be increased.
For example, use long peptide chains, just like knitting a sweater, and use ribosome tools to weave the long chains into a whole membrane structure. Because there are holes in the lines formed by the lines, they are naturally oblique holes, so there is a normal gap between the inside and the outside of the membrane.
The transportation is unobstructed, and uninvited radiation particles are easily reflected by this "sweater". Wearing a few more layers of sweater can protect the inside of the cells quite well. Alternatively, you can also use twists to hang scales on the sweater.
Shape of chainmail.
Another interesting thing is intracellular electrodes. Peptide chains are electrically polar. As long as they choose a specific polarity direction to roll into a ball and expand the voltage, they can absorb charged particles.
There is something more interesting. Lanze deduced a three-dimensional ribosome structure containing manganese and magnesium elements, which can be used to absorb gamma rays and directly store energy as ATP. In this way, cells can directly use this energy. But this
The energy transfer step still needs to be adjusted, and he hasn't decided yet whether to add long-term energy storage.
His plan sounds like science fiction. In other words, it is very entertaining and not very reliable. Sister Liu, who is engaged in molecular engineering, was sitting in the front seat of the audience, frowning as if in deep thought.
.
Lan Ze was speaking enthusiastically. Suddenly he noticed that there were more people in the audience.
There are many empty seats in the lecture hall. People from my project team and the review committee are all in the front row. The audience in the back is sparsely seated. They are all industry-related people who are interested in their projects.
The fairy slipped in quietly, found an empty seat near the front and sat down.
The fairy did not come in alone.
She is accompanied by at least one deputy minister and an old expert.
Behind the two big men, there were more people following.
Among those people, there were different colors of annual meeting stickers on their bodies and different identities. Lan Ze had no idea why they followed them and what their relationship was.
Therefore, he should continue to talk about the next content and wait for the review committee to ask questions.
After the fairy sat down, she winked at him.
Lan Ze had good eyesight, so he gave a bared smile and faced the whole audience.
Regarding the outlook for future applications, he spoke very briefly. The outlook is actually the goal that this project wants to achieve. It is very simple, which is to control nuclear contaminated areas on the earth.
He talked about the previous several plans vigorously. When he got here, he read the main nuclear contaminated areas on the earth in order, and imagined how beautiful the world would be if the pollution disappeared. It was over in a few words.
The officials of the review committee started asking questions about the content of the report from the beginning. Lanze answered several questions about technical details. The next question asked was about the consumption of materials in the actual experiment. He was really unclear, so he handed it over to
Team leader Wu and several team leaders lowered their heads to discuss, and then asked Sister Liu to stand up and report.
Lan Ze listened to Sister Liu and made an estimate in his mind. The experimental consumption did not exceed the normal level. He did not think anything would go wrong here.
At this time, the Vice Minister moved to the front row and sat down.
"I'll take care of the rest of the questions," the man said.
"Please." Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Ze didn't have to listen to the people on the review committee continue to obsess over details such as how many reagents were used in which experiment, and instead felt relieved.
"Then I'm going to ask. The question is sharp, so you have to be mentally prepared." The Vice Minister lowered his head and glanced at the materials he brought.
Lan Ze suddenly saw the fairy grinning at him.
"The long-term goal of your project is to control nuclear pollution. I saw in the original application that it was mentioned that microorganisms can be used to collect radioactive isotopes. How can this plan be realized?" asked the Vice Minister.
"You are planning to do many experiments now. The ideas are also very good. Judging from the current completion situation, there are plans for microorganisms that can resist nuclear radiation to enter the testing stage, right? However, resisting nuclear radiation is far from the goal of collecting isotopes.
It’s still quite far away. How many years will it take for this long-term goal to be achieved? In other words, how many periods of funding will the Ministry of National Nuclear Industry have to pay for this distant project? Do you have any idea about this issue? "
The big shot's question was raised very seriously. Lanze actually had no idea about time. He just had to do the experiments step by step and test the plans one by one. But when it came to money, he was very sensitive.
This is probably because he was once so short of money that he needed civil assistance.
"I think you may have misunderstood one thing." Lanze tried to defend himself and the project for the sake of funding. "If the radiation-resistant structure is completely built, collecting radioactive isotopes and controlling pollution,
Everything happens naturally. This step is very simple."
"You mean, why is it so easy?" the Vice Minister asked him in a funny tone.
"Just do some random calculations. The existing substance separation schemes are all mature. Just refer to them. I have also made microorganisms with similar functions, which can separate substances with similar physical and chemical properties."
"Just do some math?" the Vice Minister said happily.
He was not the only one who was happy. Half of the people in the lecture hall had smiles on their faces.
"Are any of the existing microorganisms capable of separating isotopes?" the big shot asked. "You can calculate new biological structures just by referring to existing solutions? Do you have a degree in mathematics?"
Lanze blushed.
He shyly replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Before the embarrassment of the big shot spread to the entire lecture hall, he took the time to add: "I have a doctorate in mathematics, and my supervisor's surname is Feng."
"There are many mathematicians named Feng. Who is your mentor?" The Vice Minister quickly caught the question.
"Feng Chuan."
"Oh..." The Vice Minister showed an expression of sudden realization.
Chapter completed!
