Chapter 419 4D Cloning
The reason why many evolvers are unknown and have little reputation is not that they have poor abilities, and some of them have weak abilities and are negligent in practice, while others are not lucky and fall in the middle.
For example, in one of the group of culture chambers that Luo Yuan was particularly concerned about, the embryo inside was transplanted by Luo Yuan. This gene came from an evolutionist who died unfortunately in the Great Purge. If he could survive until now, even if his strength did not improve, he would be a super evolutionist.
According to the records in the archives, this evolutionist is extremely powerful, just like Hercules. He can lift a heavy tank weighing forty or fifty tons and throw and attack, or he can easily jump hundreds of meters high.
This power is simply incredible. Even Luo Yuan’s 17 points of power can only lift more than one ton. With small and medium-sized mammals like humans, they lift two or three hundred times their body weight. Among the living creatures, only some insects can do it.
There is no record of how he died in the end, but from the few words on the archives, the military probably paid a considerable price.
However, although the man died, his body was preserved.
The structure of his body is like an ordinary person. Although his muscles are compact and compact and extremely strong, they are not as developed as ordinary people on the outside. The special thing about his body lies in the cells, to be precise, the mitochondria inside the cells.
Luo Yuan discovered that his mitochondria had completely separated from the category of conventional organisms. Not only did his internal structure be complex, but he also had several mysterious enzymes, which allowed him to undergo a certain cold fusion reaction.
When water molecules enter the mitochondria of their cells, they will be decomposed into ionic states, and a small part of the h atoms are fusion into nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. These elements and the remaining oxygen and hydrogen are converted into various amino acids needed by the body, and the energy generated by fusion is supplied to the human body's daily needs.
Although this type of fusion reaction is quite slow, each mitochondria has only one or two hydrogen atoms per second, which is converted into elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. Even if the total number of 50 trillion cells in the human body and the hydrogen element fusion is only about one ten thousandth of a gram.
However, this cold fusion is deeper and more efficient than the fusion of the hydrogen bomb explosion. The energy generated by only one ten thousand gram of hydrogen element is completely equivalent to the combustion value of more than several tons of standard coal, which is equivalent to the energy required by ordinary people for seven or eight thousand times, and is also twenty or thirty times that of Luo Yuan.
At the same time, the existence of this mitochondria also means that its demand for food has been reduced to its limit. It only needs to supplement some water and conventional elements to meet the needs of survival and no longer requires breathing.
This is a natural space creature. When Luo Yuan saw this cell for the first time, he felt like he was hit by surprise. Once such mitochondria appear in his body, his strength will be greatly improved, even if the light and physical strength are enough to increase dozens of times.
…………
At this time, Professor Guan trotted all the way, followed by several experimental assistants.
"Minister Luo, there is bad news that all the egg cells from group a1 to group a10,000 have died." He ran to Luo Yuan and said in a panic. He knew that these were the nutritional cabins that Luo Yuan valued, but he did not expect that none of them survived.
"What's going on? These embryos have not started to divide yet, so how could this happen?" Luo Yuan said in a deep voice. This is unprecedented. Generally speaking, as long as the embryo is still active, there will be no situation that cannot be completely inseparable. In previous experiments, no matter how the genes change, the first division can always proceed normally. Embryo death often exists in the stage of life being about to form.
He did not suspect that the experimental assistant made mistakes in collective operation, because the possibility was too low and almost ignored.
After all, the batches of laboratory cloning have been more than once or twice. Now the laboratory cloning technology is very mature. The various cloning steps have been specially compiled into manuals. Following the steps, it is completely like the assembly line. Even ordinary workers can operate skillfully after training, not to mention that the people who do it here are highly educated and experienced experimental assistants.
"According to the operation, egg cell transplantation is active, the nutrient solution content is normal, and various hormones are added according to regulations, but they are unable to divide for a long time." Professor Guan said while walking.
"What do you think?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Excluding any other possibility, I suspect that there is a problem with the chromosome itself, which is the reason for the delay in dividing." Professor Guan looked at Luo Yuan and said hesitantly.
All the genes of the embryos here have been edited by Luo Yuan himself. Since there is no problem with the operation, it is naturally because there is a problem with the editing.
Although the reconstruction area has made rapid progress in its understanding of genes with Luo Yuan's large-scale genetic engineering, the genetic modification methods are still on the spot without any progress. It is like entering a treasure mountain, without mining tools, they can observe and know how to modify them, but they are completely unable to directly edit genes like Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan didn't care about Professor Guan's outspokenness. He paused, thought for a moment, and then continued to move forward: "Look first and then talk."
Each group has ten culture chambers, and all deaths from group a11 to group a10,000, which means that all 100,000 embryos have genetic modifications and all failed.
Egg cells are the largest cells in the human body. The most common cloning method is to transplant recipient cells after enucleation of the egg cells.
However, even the largest cell in the human body is only 0.1 millimeters, which is the thickness of a hair, suspended in nutrient solution. It is impossible to see the instruments that ordinary people do not use. Dangdang does not include Luo Yuan.
He looked carefully and saw that the cells had been damaged and shriveled, and the cytoplasm had flowed out in large quantities, which was obviously dead. As for the others, there was no need to look at them.
Because he had already felt that all the embryos in this area had completely died.
Each cell here carries Luo Yuan's own will mark and has a faint connection with him. Even if he is separated from the body, it seems to be a part of the body, as if it is not separated at all. At this time, the connections in this area have disappeared.
"Apart from the problems here, other embryos are developing well, right?" Luo Yuan was not in a hurry to use his will to investigate, and turned to Professor Guan and asked.
"There is no problem. The fastest-developed one has begun the tenth round of division, and the slowest one has also undergone the first round of division."
Luo Yuan had some speculations in his heart.
From group a1 to group a10,000 culture chambers, some embryos edited one ability gene, some of them have two or three, and the most group a10,000 has edited twelve types. However, no matter how many genes are transplanted, there is one thing in common in this area, that is, they all edited Xu Zhiqiang's ability genes.
Xu Zhiqiang is the closest life to four-dimensionality, and his genes naturally contain four-dimensional secrets. From the numbering order starting with these a, we can see that Luo Yuan attaches great importance to this gene.
Unfortunately, the four-dimensional secret is not so easy to detect. Xu Zhiqiang's genes seem to be no fundamentally different from those of ordinary evolvers, and the editing is also quite smooth, but the result is not the same.
All embryos whose genes of Xu Zhiqiang died one by one and were completely unable to divide. Luo Yuan vaguely guessed that he might have missed something during gene editing.
"Four-dimensional!"
His heart suddenly moved. Could it be that Xu Zhiqiang's gene was not in this space and could not be observed in three dimensions?
The more he thinks about it, the more likely it is. The genes of four-dimensional life cannot be like three-dimensional. This is a comprehensive dimension upgrade. Even if Xu Zhiqiang is not a real four-dimensional life, he is just like him, with only a part of the four-dimensional life, and the genes should also be manifested.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuan said to Professor Guan: "Clearn all the dead embryos, and then ask someone to clone the cells labeled s36778 separately, and clone one hundred copies in the number, and send another sample to my office."
The number s36778 is Xu Zhiqiang's gene. He wants to see if this kind of cell can be cloned.
"Okay!" Professor Guan said quickly.
After saying that, Luo Yuan hurried to the office, closed the door, untied his straps, turned on the four-dimensional transformation, and then looked inward with his will.
The four-dimensional inward vision of will makes him seem to have a look down angle. Luo Yuan found that dark energy is everywhere in the four-dimensional perspective, and the whole world seems to be floating in this ocean of energy, and even the dark energy is slowly flowing in his body.
These energies seem to be illusory. They may easily pass through the body without leaving any trace.
Luo Yuan's will was gently twitching, and these energy also flew with it. It seemed that it could be manipulated by the will, but Luo Yuan didn't know how to use it. He fluctuated a few times and stopped trying.
He could feel that these energy seemed quiet and harmless, like smooth flowing water, but it gave him a slight sense of palpitations. If he tried it randomly, God knew what kind of catastrophic consequences would happen, not to mention that he was still testing it in the body now.
He turned his attention away from the dark energy, but instead quickly selected a somatic cell.
The next moment, the cell expanded in his eyes, and then his mind broke through the nucleus and entered the chromosome.
Luo Yuan searched for the number of chromosomes distributed in the brain, but he searched all the chromosomes one by one, but he did not see any trace of the four-dimensional transformation of his own genes.
Luo Yuan brows slightly locked, and he was puzzled: "Is it because he guessed wrong?"
He was puzzled and now he looked at Xu Zhiqiang's cells, hoping that he had guessed wrongly.
Before Luo Yuan could wait for a long time, Xu Zhiqiang's cell samples were sent. When his assistant left the office with awe, he gently closed the door. Then he opened the coverslip and immediately investigated.
However, in Xu Zhiqiang's cells, in a pair of chromosomes that have been confirmed to have their ability, he quickly found traces of four-dimensional transformation. This is a structure of a four-dimensional genome connected to a three-dimensional gene to form a Klein flask. From a three-dimensional perspective, the four-dimensional genome cannot be seen at all, but from a four-dimensional perspective, they are a whole. Once the four-dimensional gene is removed, the entire genome cannot be expressed.
Luo Yuan withdrew from the will state, and the two different results made him a little confused. Xu Zhiqiang's genes were not problematic. Just like what he guessed, they were consistent with the characteristics of four-dimensional organisms. The ones that were problematic were his genes.
Did he have only brain cells, and there was a genetic mutation, and the other parts had not yet had any chain reactions? Or did his genes not have dimensionality upgrades at all, and only some brain cells entered the four-dimensionality by chance?"
