"Dean Li, is that XT80?" Han Meng was most concerned about XT80, after all, this set of gene editing equipment would be used on his body.

Dean Li nodded: "Yes, our researcher will demonstrate to you how to operate the XT80." ”

In fact, the researchers are already operating the XT80 to do experiments, and they are doing experiments every day.

The experimental sample was a human embryo cultivated in vitro, which came from the human embryo storage room, and was one of the millions of people in President Li's army.

The sample is in the 13th day of its life cycle, so the sample is described here as "it".

When the sample develops to the 14th day, the third person should be changed to "he" or "she" according to the regulations of the international organization.

The 14-day principle means that, in principle, only various biological experiments can be carried out on human embryos within 14 days.

International organizations believe that a fertilized egg is morally mature when it reaches the 14th day.

By the 13th day, it is a very small sac-like object with a maximum diameter of a few millimeters, it is filled with fluid, and its ectoderm will develop into the epidermis, nails, hair, teeth, sensory and nervous system, and the endoderm will develop into the digestive system, liver, pancreas, salivary glands, respiratory system, and mesoderm will become dermis, muscles, tendons, circulatory system, and excretory system.

"This sample has an extra chromosome 21. Dean Li explained synchronously, concisely, accurately, and to the point in one sentence.

"Oh. Han Meng carefully observed the experimental process, and the details of the experiment were displayed on the computer screen connected to the XT80.

Humans have two sets of 46 chromosomes, and it is obviously abnormal for a sample to have an extra chromosome.

60% of fertilized eggs with an extra one on chromosome 21 will be aborted in the mother's body when it reaches a few months of development, and the survivors are different from normal people in terms of IQ, appearance, and stature, which is medically known as Down syndrome or congenital stupidity.

An unnamed researcher operates an XT80 microrobot to control a microneedle and genetically edit a sample.

Chromosomes are genetic material, and each single group of chromosomes contains all the information code.

Genes are carriers of genetic material, and the code that involves all the development of an organism is delicately encased in a particle as small as a fertilized egg, which is a miracle in itself.

Unlike gene sequencing and text reading/translation, the XT80 is almost entirely controlled by researchers, and the details of its operation are extremely complex.

After a complex process at the molecular level, the researchers re-edited the genetic material in the sample, removing the defective genes from the samples and injecting normal genes into the samples.

The sample received gene therapy at the zygote stage, and it said goodbye to Down syndrome.

"The XT80 is a bit of a hassle to operate, but it works great. Han Meng made an evaluation.

Dean Li said: "The second-generation XT80 will be greatly optimized, and when the time comes, the gene editing will be as simple as playing games on a mobile phone. In about two years, the second-generation XT80 will be officially launched. If you can't wait two years, then this generation of XT80 should be able to meet your current needs. This generation of XT80 is indeed a bit cumbersome in operation, but it doesn't matter, our product engineers are on call to ensure that you can learn how to operate XT80, after all, you are all excellent talents with high IQ, and learning new things must be fast. ”

"Yes, Dean Li, in the field of biology, you are much more professional than us. The six of us also have a learning mentality this time, and come to you to learn advanced experience and technology. Shen Qi said humbly, seeing is believing, and he is satisfied with the XT80.

Although Shen Qi and the others were intended customers, they didn't even pay a dime of the deposit to Huahan Gene.

Under normal circumstances, customers who have not paid a deposit are not allowed to come to this laboratory, which is full of core technology.

Shen Qi still has a bit of a card, and Hua Han Gene's reception of him is full of sincerity.

Shen Qi asked, "Dean Li, what are you going to do next after this 13-day sample is done for this gene editing experiment?"

Dean Li replied, "Save the experimental data and dispose of the samples. ”

Shen Qi felt that Dean Li was not telling the truth: "Really deal with it?"

"The 14-day principle hangs over us, and of course we have to deal with it. Dean Lee pointed to the air above, where the sword of Damocles seemed to hang.

"But your boss's spiritual instructions seem to disdain those principles. ”

"Huh. Dean Li smiled noncommittally, and he asked rhetorically, "Then Academician Shen, what is your attitude towards those principles?"

Shen Qi thought for a while and said, "Let our fiery and unrestrained imagination be like a flame to dissipate ignorance and stubbornness. ”

"Hahaha!" Dean Li laughed loudly, his right index finger and middle finger subconsciously pressed together and pressed against his navel.

Several researchers in the lab made similar moves.

Dean Li and the unknown researchers made similar ceremonial and ceremonial small actions, all of which were in Shen Qi's eyes, and he said yearningly: "I'm more and more interested in meeting your boss." ”

"There's a chance, there's a chance. Dean Li became more and more enthusiastic, and he said, "Do you continue to investigate the operation of the XT80 next, or do you want to go to other places to have a look?"

Shen Qi asked, "We can enter any part of this building?"

"Below the seventh floor, feel free to visit. Above the seventh floor, I'm afraid I'll have to stay. ”

Shen Qi thinks that both public and private should take care of domestic brands, if he and his team go to ART's German headquarters, I am afraid that they will not be able to enjoy such open treatment, he said: "XT80 operation, we have a more intuitive understanding, and then please ask your product engineers to train us a few more times." If Dean Li is free, we would like to follow you to visit the Human Embryo Cryopreservation Room, the Molecular Dynamics Research Room, the Ex vivo Organ Storage Room, the Night Radiation Spawning Room, the Neural Research Center, the Resurrection and Extinction Biology Research Room, and the Microbiology Room. I just saw the structural diagram of your research building on the first floor, and the places I mentioned are all below the seventh floor. ”

"Academician Shen's memory, croaking. Dean Li was amazed by Shen Qi's unforgettable super memory, he showed warm and open hospitality, and led Yan University colleagues to visit those laboratories and storage rooms that were very mysterious to outsiders according to Shen Qi's request.

"Huahan Gene's stock has pulled a few price limits in a row, it seems that I have to buy some Huahan Gene. On the way to the Resurrection Extinction Biology Research Laboratory, Shen Qi learned that Huahan Gene's recent performance in the securities market was so angry that he had no friends.

Dean Li mysteriously provided inside information: "Then hurry up and buy it, Huahan Gene will continue to rise." ”
