Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1137 1128. The Magic of Changing the World

Ever since the Jade Spirit Gathering Array and the Soul Containing Version were laid out.

Within a few days, Luo Yihang received good news continuously.

First, Luo Qingcai rushed in and said that the mulberries had grown again. The trees whose fruits had already been picked had produced a new batch of fruits.

Then Luo Shaoan ran over and said that Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei had given birth to another litter. I thought they would not lay eggs this year, but I didn't expect them to give birth to another litter at the end of July.

The third person to come was Li Yongyun, who found Luo Yihang happily and said, "Goose, big goose, lay eggs, lay a lot of eggs!"

Originally, geese do not lay many eggs in the summer, only one egg every five or six days. The weather is too hot, which disrupts their metabolism and weakens the activity of their reproductive system.

But now, the egg-laying frequency has returned to the autumn and winter season, with two eggs laid in three days.

That's a good thing. Luo Yihang asked Li Yongyun to pick them all up and then find someone to pickle them. The pickled fruits were sent to the canteen to be eaten with white porridge in the morning. Those who had long-term cooperation with him were also given some shares.

Luo Yihang would never touch pickled eggs because his hands would stink and it looked weird.

Soon after, Ma Zhitao also came and said that something supernatural had happened at the mushroom cultivation farm. Both the probiotics and the mushroom spores had suddenly become very active, and their reproduction speed had increased by 30% to 40%...

Wow, the bloodline power from the super genius tree 65 million years ago is really amazing, it can even affect microorganisms.

It’s definitely an innate spiritual treasure.

Luo Yihang had a clear idea in mind and could carry out the next plan.

But before that, good news came from Wenying.

This time it was not the effect of the spirit gathering formation, but the good news brought back by Wangqi.

After more than ten days and nights of hard work, they finally made a breakthrough.

The giant dandelion that Luo Yihang brought back from the foot of Kunlun Mountain was indeed a mutant variety.

And it is a polyploid mutation.

Ordinary dandelions have 24 chromosomes, but this giant mutant dandelion was found to have 40 chromosomes, which can be considered a tetraploid dandelion.

A natural tetraploid variant.

This is the first time it has been discovered in the genus Taraxacum.

The closest to it, or one level up, is the microchamomile in the Asteraceae family, which has some natural tetraploids.

Wen Ying and his colleagues suspect that the strong ultraviolet radiation and the temperature difference between day and night in the high-altitude environment of the Kunlun Mountains have destroyed the DNA structure of the dandelion, leading to base mismatches or chromosome breaks. For example, mutations in genes for gibberellin synthesis (such as GA20ox) may relieve the inhibition of stem elongation.

Or there may be unactivated recessive mutation sites in the genome that are awakened under extreme conditions.

Polyploidization is a common strategy for plants to quickly adapt to extreme environments.

Anyway, it's full of uncertainty.

The exact cause is uncertain, as is the time of formation.

What is certain is that this is a variant of the large-rooted dandelion found in high altitude areas of the northwest and southwest.

That's why the root system is so developed.

But the most important thing is that tetraploidy is good.

Because the number of chromosomes has doubled, each locus has four alleles, resulting in enhanced expression of dominant genes and weakened effects of recessive genes.

The manifestation is that the stems, leaves, roots and fruits become bigger.

It also has strong photosynthesis ability, strong metabolite accumulation ability, strong disease resistance and strong adaptability.

It even has the regeneration ability inherited from the big-rooted dandelion. After the main root is cut off, the remaining root segments can sprout again, and the roots will not die.

All are good attributes.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Tetraploid plants have so many good properties, but they naturally have defects and weak reproductive ability.

It has more chromosomes than others, and the chromosomes are randomly separated or the chromatids are separated during division, resulting in an unstable number of chromosomes in the gametes. A large number of abnormal gametes greatly reduces the reproductive capacity.

This is also the reason why tetraploid plants have a weak reproductive capacity and are difficult to form a stable population in the natural environment. However, this is not important.

Tetraploid, is a holy body that is born to reproduce.

After the tetraploid genome is doubled, gene expression becomes more complex and diverse, with more options available.

The hybrid selection is super large and can be used as a parent to create triploids or hexaploids, expanding the breeding range.

Gene editing is also convenient and has the potential for rapid domestication.

For example, rice, wheat, cotton, potatoes, tomatoes, and even sugarcane and daffodils are tetraploid.

And this is just traditional breeding.

In the hands of Wenying's Breeding 4.0, it becomes a magic that can change the world.

It's no exaggeration.

Wenying showed Luo Yihang the simulation results of hybridizing the dandelion mutant as a parent with two other dandelion plants collected by XJ.

Luo Yihang was considered knowledgeable, but after seeing the properties of the new species, he was still stunned and his blood rushed to his head.

What a weird thing this is.

This... this... will change the world's industrial landscape.

It is no exaggeration. If this thing is successfully cultivated, it will bring a greater shock to the world than Qiuyan No. 9, and its importance is no less than that of the amaranth, which can control the desert in a short time and at a low cost...

Well, in the not too distant future, the world will be shaken twice.

Not only Luo Yihang, but the entire research department and all the researchers involved in the experiment were in a trance.

They were all puzzled and couldn't figure it out. It was clearly for the sake of Amaranthus that they wanted to cultivate a high-molecular inulin plant that could produce a complex structure to provide a water-retaining agent for Amaranthus.

As a result...how...how come after the boss brought back a super huge dandelion, he created such a weird thing.

A weird thing that could shock the world.

Especially Yin Feng.

He just arrived and is a freshman in college. Although he has been a genius since childhood, he is still very young and has not experienced anything.

He was involved in such a large project right from the start, and the results were obtained by him using his own hands to operate the supercomputer.

I verified it eight times, and the results were exactly the same. There is absolutely no mistake.

The child was so frightened that he sat on a chair in the hall with lifeless eyes. He just drank water over and over again, and the cup was empty long ago.

He kept muttering, "Change the world! Change the world!"

That’s right, this is what Luo Yihang said when he recruited him, “Come, let’s change the world together.”

In the blink of an eye, it will be realized.

To receive an award? To become famous? To show off in front of classmates and teachers?

Or was it like what Chu Jie had shown him, with the whole village worshiping their ancestors, with loud gongs and drums?
Or will the street in front of the house be named after him, as horse experts hope?

Or I didn’t think about anything at all…

With such a powerful weapon in hand, Luo Yihang dared not hide it, as if he hid it, something terrible would happen.

I quickly notified Uncle Li.

Uncle Li rushed over, exhausted. After reading the conclusion, his face turned green with fright, his head was pounding, his blood pressure soared, and the old man almost fainted.

It took me a full half hour to recover.

As soon as he recovered, he ran away without even having the time to "teach" Luo Yihang a lesson for his mess.

Poor think tank experts, don’t sleep these days...
