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

Chapter 883 877. Random Options
After returning from the yacht, Luo Yihang continued to enjoy his leisurely vacation.

Liu Piaoliang is in a miserable situation. She has to go back to work before the New Year is over.

Fly back to China to resolve the procedural issues of this investment.

Then, he joined forces with Ke Shaotong and Zhang Xiaoru to place orders and bids with various design companies.

For a store opened in the Burj Al Arab, the decoration cannot be stingy, it has to be as luxurious as possible.

And since the plan is to compete with old Europe, it is not an easy task to highlight oriental elements while being luxurious.

Moreover, the time is tight, the requirements are high, the tasks are heavy, the competition is fierce and the difficulties are numerous. The only benefit is the high salary. Sigh, I wonder how many designers will be exhausted by this...

The seventh day of the first lunar month.

Luo Yihang and his party returned to Ping'angou from Maldives with lots of luggage.

After a day's rest, we officially go back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Luo Yihang still has a lot of things to do.

Spring planting plan, plan to expand the planting area of ​​mulberry, demarcation of new core areas, alternative areas and support areas, rotation of internal personnel positions in the company, and each department will add staff according to this year's plan.

There are several relatively large projects, including increasing the number of sweet mulberry trees by 20,000 to 40,000, and expanding the orchard on the mountain to plant crabapples and other fruit trees.

The fish pond has expanded from seven acres to thirty acres, but the supply gap of crayfish is too large. There are two batches every year, and the summer batch is already in limited supply. The autumn batch is even worse, and there is not enough supply even for a harvest festival.

In addition, we will open another fish pond, also of 1 acres, to raise No. male yellow catfish in spring, summer and autumn, and cold-resistant domestic fish in winter.

The yellow catfish is commonly known as the yellow catfish, also called the yellow girl.

Quanxiong No. 1 is a new variety bred by the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This species is amazing, more than 90% of the fish produced are males.

A characteristic of yellow catfish is that male fish grow 30% to 50% faster than female fish, and the male fish of the all-male No. 1 grow 18% faster than ordinary varieties.

The combination of the two can increase output per unit time by 45.5%.

Yellow croaker is good. It is small, tender, not fishy, ​​and has no thorns. It is low in fat and high in protein, and contains many trace elements.

The most important thing is that it tastes good.

Steamed yellow croaker, braised yellow croaker, braised yellow croaker with Sichuan spicy sauce, boiled yellow croaker, yellow croaker tofu soup, pickled yellow croaker, hot pot, sour soup fish...

I'm drooling just thinking about it...

Finished sorting out the production matters.

Luo Yihang was finally able to take a look at the research and development.

This is now the top priority for the entire company.

But Luo Yihang couldn't help, and Wenying was in charge of everything. He could only be a cold money-making machine.

I've been spending a lot of money recently.

That's the huge amount of equipment Wenying wanted.

The gene sequencer alone costs more than five million, the sample preparation system is almost two million, and the microscopic imaging alone costs several million.

If you count the whole set, there is nothing that costs less than one million.

The software and consumables are more expensive.

Let's say that.

The lab, which seemed quite large, is now packed.

Moreover, there are still a lot of equipment being manufactured and have not yet been shipped here, so there is an urgent need to build another laboratory.

Cold rabbit, candied dumplings, foot bath medicine bags, amber walnuts, big potato dolls, and ice cream.

Most of the money that was salvaged with great effort was thrown back in again.

Scientific research is really a big investment with big output, it's really exciting...

When Luo Yihang came over.

I saw Wenying and the others were in the order-taking area outside the laboratory.

I'll use the big table here to organize the samples.

There is no room for even a table in the lab...

Of course, it is also because there are too many samples. This is a big table.

Wenying was organizing, Shijuan was recording, Qin Qiuyan was recording again, and Luo Hongzhi was filming the whole process with a camera, and there was also a surveillance camera overhead.

Quadruple backup shows its importance.

Their work is methodical and slow, and it is delicate work.

Each sample must record the number, name, acquisition location, environment, time, and characteristics.

It's mainly about the characteristics, each of which has a long list full of specialized terms, such as DNA-seq, RNA-seq, regional center, non-homologous end joining, double end, base pair and other incomprehensible words.

And the overall atmosphere is not very good.

Everyone had a serious expression and had something on their mind.

Fortunately, when Luo Yihang arrived, the work was nearing completion.

Wait until their records are completed.

Only then did I realize that Luo Yihang was here.

Shi Juan introduced them casually: "Boss, these are the samples we brought back from XJ, a total of 144 types, and now we need to sequence their genes."

This is the preliminary work for Breeding 4.0.

Breeding 4.0 is to use genotypic big data, phenotypic big data, and environmental big data to build models and conduct a large number of computer simulations to seek the optimal combination of alleles at different known loci at the whole genome level.

It requires two major prerequisites: one is the massive computing power of supercomputers, and the second is a genome database.

Malan grass has computing power, but no genetic database.

This is a very expensive and time-consuming process. In China, genome sequencing has mainly been done on agricultural crops and a small number of cash crops.

Amaranthus, a low-value plant that is similar to a weed, has not been sequenced.

So you have to do it yourself.

Wenying and her team are now preparing samples and then constructing a DNA library.

Next comes sequencing.

After sequencing, data preprocessing, sequence alignment, variation detection, functional analysis, and result visualization are required.

It's complicated.

The next step is DNA library construction, which is the most critical step.

In this step, the extracted genomic DNA will be randomly broken into small fragments, and end repair and so on will be performed.

The whole genome methylation sequencing required for Breeding 4.0 also requires Bisulfite treatment.

Only after processing can a genome-wide DNA methylation map be drawn, and then the association between methylation patterns and specific phenotypes can be analyzed.

Anyway, it is very troublesome, time-consuming, and special. You can only do it yourself, and it involves confidentiality.

Only after the DNA library construction is completed can the samples be sent to other scientific research institutions for sequencing.

Finally, take it back and do the data analysis and summary yourself.

This is what Wenying and the others are worried about now: there are too many samples.

Construction of a full-genome library for each sample takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Even if we calculate one sample per week, 140 samples would take more than two years, almost three years. Even if three people work on it at the same time, it would take at least a full year.

So there has to be a trade-off, which one to do first and which one to do later. If the first few samples can achieve the goal, wouldn’t it save time?

Then, the three of them disagreed.

Luo Yihang didn't understand what the specific differences were, and then he looked at Luo Hongzhi, who looked confused.

Anyway, it's about genome correlation, phenotypic expression and that kind of thing.

Not to mention that no one can convince anyone else, the three of them are still changing their positions.

After a while, Wenying denied her consent to Qin Qiuyan, after a while Qin Qiuyan agreed to Shi Juan, and after a while Shi Juan agreed to Wenying.

This matter has become a random option...
