After a few days of experiments, Lu Li has collected a wealth of data, so he writes papers quite quickly, his ten fingers jump on the keyboard, crackling, and he finishes writing a page in a minute or two.

However, at this time, Professor Xu and Professor Tian came to the outside of the laboratory, Lu Li greeted Ning Wei, if it was Professor Xu and others, they could come to him at will, so Professor Xu and Professor Tian entered the laboratory smoothly.

"Lu Li, we are here to ask you for a drink, and your speech is too much for our appetite. "

Professor Xu said happily.

"I made a special observation, and the response was very strong, and your speech should be able to influence a lot of people. "

Professor Tian also smiled.

However, at this moment, Professor Xu suddenly saw the green-haired rabbit in a cage.

"How are these two rabbits green?".

Professor Xu wondered.

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly remembered that his students had mentioned one thing: Lu Li wanted to modify animals so that they could photosynthesize, and finally borrowed a few little white rabbits to do experiments.

"Is it ......

".

Professor Xu stared at the green-haired rabbit with wide eyes, and said to Lu Li anxiously, "Could it be that your experiment was successful? These two green-haired rabbits are transformed products that can carry out photosynthesis?"

"What?".

Professor Tian suspects that he misheard, rabbits carry out photosynthesis, is this possible?

Hearing the voices of the two professors, Lu Li stood up, turned around, and said with a smile: "Professor Xu, Professor Tian, these two green-haired rabbits can indeed photosynthesize, I have verified it, and I am now writing a paper, and I will submit it to the journal "Cell" after writing." "

"You...... How did you achieve that?".

Professor Rao is Xu has been shocked by Lu Li many times, and at this time, he is still shocked and even stutters a little when he speaks.

Professor Tian's eyes were also full of disbelief, allowing animals to photosynthesize, this kind of fantasy has been imagined by many people before, but it is just a thought, it is impossible to achieve at all, but now...... Lu Li has made this a reality!

Lu Li introduced: "I used single-base gene editing technology to modify the chloroplast inside the pine cell, so that it became a parasitic chloroplast, which can directly enter the epidermal cells of rabbits, and can carry out photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide and water, and produce oxygen and sugar. "

"Modifying the genes of chloroplasts so that chloroplasts have the ability to parasitize is easy to say, but it is difficult to achieve. "

Professor Xu took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Lu Li carefully, now he really wanted to know what the structure of Lu Li's head was, his talent was so terrifying, of course, it was just a matter of thinking, he didn't think about really studying Lu Li's head.

"The rabbit's immune system recognizes everything that goes into the body, and foreign bodies like chloroplasts, are removed by the immune system, have you solved this problem? Do parasitic chloroplasts invade other cells in rabbits? and, how effective is it, can rabbits now breathe without lungs?".

At this time, Professor Tian asked several questions in one breath.

Lu Li replied: "I have made special modifications to the genes of the parasitic chloroplast, and it will not be attacked by the rabbit's immune system. In the current experiments, no parasitic chloroplasts have been found to invade other cells in rabbits. As for the effect, I have tested it, and the rabbit can survive by the oxygen produced by photosynthesis, but it is used to breathing with its lungs, so wherever there is air, they will habitually use their lungs to breathe. "

"Can the rabbit survive through photosynthesis like a plant without eating?"

"Theoretically, yes, I added a code to the gene of the parasitic chloroplast, and after it parasitizes in the rabbit cells, it will produce the corresponding hydrolase enzyme to break down the starch produced by photosynthesis to provide energy for the rabbit, but I haven't done relevant experiments yet. "

Shhhhh

Hearing Lu Li's words, Professor Tian and Professor Xu were speechless in shock.

Because from the current point of view, the parasitic chloroplast researched by Lu Li is already a fairly mature product, as long as there is no safety problem, it can be directly used on rabbits.

If we modify the genes of parasitic chloroplasts, we may be able to parasitize human epidermal cells, so that humans can also carry out photosynthesis.

This means that the rules that have been passed down from nature for hundreds of millions of years have been broken!

This is an epoch-making step!

The significance of this is far more than the fight against AIDS!

Because.

This may open the way for the human body to evolve!

Professor Xu took a deep breath, patted Lu Li's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Lu Li, I found that I still underestimated your talent. "

Professor Tian was also full of emotion, thinking that at the beginning, Professor Xu found him and asked him to guide Lu Li, and he directly agreed out of the intention of promoting his juniors, at that time, he only regarded Lu Li as a young man with a little talent.

As a result, it didn't take long for Lu Li to overcome AIDS, and in his heart, Lu Li became a genius comparable to Newton and Einstein.

But now, he thinks Lu Li's achievements are likely to surpass Newton and Einstein.

Because Lu Li is very likely to open the way to the evolution of the human body, this is an unimaginable achievement, and its significance is no less than that of the evolution of the wise ape into a human!

"The world is going to boil again. "

Professor Tian sighed with emotion, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone of Director Wu of the Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: "Old Wu, something has happened again!"

On the other side of the phone, Director Wu asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Li completed a new project, he modified the chloroplast, so that the chloroplast parasitized the rabbit cells, so that the rabbit can photosynthesize, and the effect is very good, no adverse reactions have been found for the time being. "

"What!" Director Wu was stunned for a moment before asking, "Did I hear me right? You mean that Lu Li has bred rabbits that can perform photosynthesis?"

"You heard it right, Xu Zhongchen and I are in Lu Li's laboratory, and those two rabbits are right in front of us. "

Shhhhh

Director Wu gasped, and quickly said, "You tell Lu Li to ask him to wait for me in the laboratory, and I will come right away." "

After speaking.

Director Wu hung up the phone, put on his clothes, and made crazy phone calls as he walked out.

"Lao Zhou, hurry up and set off to Lu Li's laboratory, where Lu Li has bred rabbits that can photosynthesize. "

"Old leaf ......".

"Lao Wang ......".

With the calls dialed out one by one, the old academicians of the Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were all ecstatic to go out.

They want to see the miracle with their own eyes!
