Ten days later, Ren Ruofeng received an official notice from the person in charge of the Biosphere Project.
"That's amazing! Those two masters actually completed their research so quickly! They perfectly realized that god's design, and it's even a programmable bacterium! "The person in charge said ecstatically.
"Uh …" Ren Ruofeng was shocked.
He was not a noob, and the meaning of programmable was clear. It meant that the bacterium could, to a certain extent, edit various functions and freely combine the functions it wanted. Of course, this editing was naturally limited.
The person in charge continued, "This bacterium can do a lot of work. It can replace chlorophyll, and its efficiency in synthesizing organic matter is 150% higher than the former. It can also decompose all kinds of garbage, including materials that cannot be decomposed by conventional bacteria, such as plastics. Its efficiency is also very high, as long as the molecular formula of the object to be decomposed is set in advance for the bacterium …"
"Wait, can it also decompose living things?" Ren Ruofeng asked hurriedly. This thing was good, but there should not be any hidden dangers.
"How is that possible? All of its functions are built with reference to the existing organisms in the biosphere. It's just a large-scale enhancement. We can completely control the scope of its decomposition, and it won't be harmful to normal life forms, "the person in charge explained hurriedly.
"That's great. Immediately start compiling the most detailed test plan, and make sure that all kinds of extreme conditions are included. As for the test site, don't put it in that giant greenhouse. Wait until I find you a safe enough place, "Ren Ruofeng said seriously.
"Alright then, I'll wait for your arrangements." The person in charge knew that the better the thing, the greater the risk.
Just like the antibiotics that saved countless lives, in the end, it also gave birth to superbugs. Once infected, there was no cure, and a small illness could directly kill a person.
This was the consequence of the abuse of antibiotics in the early stages.
Ren Ruofeng hung up and began to think, 'Where is this safe enough place?'
In short, it could not be placed in the outside world. If it was leaked, it would be a huge hidden danger.
It would be best if it was completely isolated from this world.
The Land of Heritage?
No, that was the foundation of China. If something big happened, there would be a big problem with the food supply, not to mention other things.
Other arcane realms?
But would they let him in? He was not going there to give money, but to send an experiment …
However, he still had the idea of trying, and sent a message to Vigilante A. Who asked that guy to have the most arcane realms?
…
System Space.
"This Oldman Ren, why does he keep looking for me?" Fang Ning was secretly reading a book when he suddenly received a WeChat message. "The more powerful you are, the more people will look for you. If you're just a salted fish, then no one will look for you." Sir System conveniently gave Fang Ning a bowl of chicken soup.
"… If I'm a salted fish, I'll be hung up," Fang Ning said speechlessly. He then looked at the contents of the WeChat message, and suddenly became happy. "It really worked. If this thing is really reliable, then we should make full use of it."
"However, he said that a lot of tests are needed to verify whether it's reliable or not. Where are you planning to conduct the tests?" Sir System asked.
"Where else can I put it? Of course, we'll put it in the alternate dimension that Black Robe gave us. The environment there is similar to Earth, so it's perfect for various tests. "
"Isn't Black Robe a little silly? Not only did he give us such a good thing, he even gave it to himself in the end." Sir System mocked.
"I'm not sure if he's stupid or not, but I'm very sure that you're stupid," Fang Ning said disdainfully. "I took a closer look at that dimension space the last time I went in. It's actually not stable, and it looks like it'll disappear in thirty years."
"Why? I'm a System that's proficient in the Space Order, but even I didn't notice it. How did you notice? "Sir System said in disbelief.
"That's because you don't understand science. I've observed it carefully, and the planets' rotation speed is steadily decreasing. After thirty years, the rotation speed will decrease to a critical point. Then, under the effect of gravity, with a 'boom', the planets will hit the sun and disappear completely. Once they're gone, this dimension space will naturally be useless. "Fang Ning said disdainfully.
"Damn it, no wonder that Black Robe gave it to us so easily. It's just a defective product." Sir System said indignantly.
"It's good enough to be used for a few decades. Just like this time, at least it can be used for many experiments." Fang Ning said lightly.
…
Dimension space.
Ren Ruofeng followed Fang Ning through the black sphere and arrived at this strange and familiar place.
It was strange because, in his opinion, alternate dimensions were similar to the Land of Heritage, where there was only a piece of land. However, this place was different. It turned out to be a small universe.
It was familiar because it looked like a second Earth.
Above them was the sun and moon, and below them was a blue planet.
"This is practically a replica of the Solar System." He said sincerely.
"That's right, you're absolutely right." Fang Ning agreed. "There are no humans here, so you can experiment as much as you want here, and it definitely won't affect the outside world."
"Thank you so much. The all-purpose bacteria is indeed very powerful, but we don't know what hidden dangers it has. However, since it was designed by the God of Plagues, there must be some hidden dangers. We need to test it and improve it." Ren Ruofeng nodded.
"You don't have to thank me. When its safety and reliability are verified, my arcane realms will also need this thing." Fang Ning said lightly.
"Of course. When the time comes, we'll send technicians to guide you." Ren Ruofeng naturally accepted the other party's request without hesitation.
Although arcane realms were good, they had a big problem, which was that their ecological endurance was very poor. After all, it was considered a semi-enclosed space.
Although substances such as sunlight, water, and vitality could communicate with the outside world, living things could not freely communicate.
This led to the outside world, with the support of the entire Earth, a few hundred thousand square kilometers could easily accommodate hundreds of millions of people.
However, in the arcane realms, there could only be up to a million people, or even a few hundred thousand.
Fang Ning's Morality City currently had a resident population of only three hundred thousand, which was less than the population of a bustling county in China.
The reason was very simple. The production and living of a few hundred thousand people would inevitably cause pollution such as waste and garbage, which could still be digested by the land.
If more people were accommodated, it would only bring about an ecological disaster. It was evident from the collapse of the Biosphere One Project.
Biosphere One was too small, and a certain link had a problem, which caused the ecological cycle to be unable to proceed. A large amount of ecological waste produced by animals and plants could not be degraded, and could not return to the natural cycle. In the end, the experiment had to be declared a failure, and the Earth was still the only biosphere that humans could rely on.
However, with this versatile and extremely powerful all-purpose bacteria, these problems could be solved.
The result of this was that the population that could be accommodated in a few hundred thousand square kilometers of land in the arcane realm would increase dramatically.
The only thing that could limit the number of people was the upper limit of various living supplies, and not the restriction of nature itself.
The urban area of a capital city was only a few hundred square kilometers, but it could accommodate up to ten million people. Of course, the supplies they needed were supplied from a country.
Based on this scale, the land of a few hundred thousand square kilometers could accommodate at least ten billion people.
Moreover, this was just the normal way of living. If it was all converted into high-rise buildings, the population could be multiplied several times.
This was the source of Ren Ruofeng's confidence in the "50 billion Chinese" plan.
