It is a school. School of 25th century. The school is in the house itself. It’s a small room with a mechanical teacher. The teacher is a robot. Thus, the robot teaches a single student. The teacher explains to the girl Margie. Margie is a 13-year-old girl.
Robot Sam: Generation of electricity from fossil fuel is now history. Even nuclear fission is no more in use. Thus, these are now primitive methods. Nuclear fusion is a recent technology. But, this technique too is now becoming old. Scientists are now searching for organic light. The light emitted by insects or microorganisms. Hence, they want to mimic the reactions occurring in them.
He adds: Have you ever seen fireflies emitting cool light? Do you know about the algae that emit light? Hence, for years, scientists are trying to find the reason.
Hence, the mechanical teacher explains everything about bioluminescence.
At the research centre
This is now the end of the 25th century. American Scientist are now about to find the solution. Thus, a solution regarding bioluminescence.
Dr Mathew: For about ten years, we are investigating the Algae. Algae & plants that emits light. Thus, emitting light for a long period. And now, the reason is quite clear. It’s a great success.
Dr Tony: Now we can devise light-emitting devices using new technology. Therefore, we can replace street lights with plants. Hence, the trees will emit light.
Dr Harsh: Two molecules are particularly important for light production. Luciferase and luciferin. The luciferase binds to the luciferin and transfers energy to the luciferin via a process known as oxidation. Thus, release blue light.
Dr Mathew: We can fix nanoparticles into the leaves of plants. Thus, the plants will emit light for nearly four hours.
Dr Harsh: Thus, we try to mimic the reactions occurring in fireflies & algae. It’s the beginning of a new era.
The new scenario around the world
There are no electric poles on roadsides. Moreover, no street lights. Cities, towns & villages are clean. Plants along the roadsides emit the light. Trees around the houses illuminate the area. Light-emitting devices now use algae-based technology.
Hence, the twenty-fifth century is a century of biological innovations. A step towards natural life. The human learns from fireflies & microorganisms.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
