Chapter 629: The Great Leap of Human Life Sciences
??
Super Xiaochu chose his own character (mainly appearance) and name He Yuchu, and Xiao Ming continued his short vacation life after arranging these things.
A person's life time is limited, and only a suitable relaxation can put more energy into work.
South Anfei, Cape Town, Pangu Technology South Anfei Headquarters.
April is the best time of the year in Cape Town, with mild weather and crisp air.
Gao Siqi has arrived this week, and this week's time Gao Siqi is not here on vacation, but preparing the experimental materials of the first generation of junior high school projects.
Gao Siqi and his old classmate Wen Xueqing met and had a meal together, which was a small gathering, and then they returned to their respective jobs to be busy with things.
From materials and experimental methods to staffing, these all need to be prepared.
Fortunately, the team brought from Jiangcheng was able to give Gao Siqi the greatest help.
Super Xiaochu has submitted his own experimental materials to Gao Siqi, and the most important content is the gene fragment selected by Super Xiaochu.
Half a month later, the experiment was ready, and Gao Siqi's team started the first phase of the experiment.
In the laboratory with a unique scenery, Gao Siqi held a meeting of all experimenters.
At the meeting, Gao Siqi said: "In the next half a year or even longer, we will be accompanied by experiments and loneliness, and during this time, everyone may not have time to watch dramas on the Internet, and there is no time to reply to friends' messages on WeChat." ”
Gao Siqi looked at his high-spirited subordinates and said: "But everyone should know that the experiment we are engaged in is the greatest experiment in human history, and everything we have paid during this period will definitely change the development of the entire human life science, and we will create new history and create new brilliance...... Next, I will make the following arrangements for the specific content of this experiment......"
The whole experimental process is divided into four stages.
In the first stage, the chromosomes (genetic model) of life are constructed.
Through early research, Pangu Life Science Laboratory has constructed a complete human genetic model.
What is a genetic model?
If human life is seen as a flourishing tree, then the genetic model of the human being is the trunk of the tree.
There are branches above the main trunk, and leaves on the branches.
The branches here are the fragments of the genes of human life, and the leaves are the individual genes in them.
To what extent has Pangu Technology's current level of genetic engineering been reached?
What kind of leaves (individual genes) can be installed when you reach the end of a branch (gene fragment) are listed for you.
For example, if a gene segment labeled BYA on a chromosome has a total of 100 genes numbered from 1 to 100, then each numbered gene has a fixed selection object.
The laboratory only needs to splice and install the selected object on the gene fragment, and does not need to choose it yourself.
This method of experimentation is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, because the 24 chromosomes of the human body contain 20,000 to 35,000 genes. Each gene has 1 to N different combinations.
If calculated by permutation, there are countless combinations of human genetic sequences, which is why people are different.
Thanks to quantum computers, quantum computing makes it possible for laboratories to list every combination of genes.
The laboratory is to select the genes it needs from the current gene pool and install them on the branches.
The second stage of the experiment is chromosome splicing.
In the field of molecular biology, the laboratory will combine and splice gene fragments to form a complete DNA chain, and finally form a complete chromosome.
Humans have a total of 24 chromosomes, all of which are spliced together through molecular biological means.
This is why Xiao Ming said that He Yuchu is the son of a human being, because He Yuchu has no paternal and maternal genetic material, and all genetic material comes from the gene pool and is composed of laboratories.
In other words, He Yuchu can be regarded as the real future man, the Eve of mankind.
This is followed by the third and most important step in the laboratory, the cultivation of embryos.
Through certain technical means, pairs of chromosomes are injected into enucleated human somatic cells.
Then, through gene expression regulation, the totipotency of somatic cells is activated, allowing somatic cells to develop into embryonic cells.
This is one of the most important aspects of the laboratory.
At the same time as the embryo is developing, the laboratory will control the expression of the gene in the inner section, and if it needs to be carried forward, it will increase its expression, and if it needs to be suppressed, it will find a way to suppress it.
Through long-term research, Pangu Science and Technology Life Science Laboratory has discovered a fatal problem in human genetics - almost every gene has its expression defects, and even some defects are fatal.
That's why humans have cancer, and they grow tumors when they're healthy.
Therefore, gene repression expression plays a very important role in the appearance of genes at this stage.
If the third paragraph can be successfully completed, it basically indicates that the experiment can be successful, and it also indicates the birth of new life.
This is the fourth step of the experiment, and it is also a key step in the conclusion of the first generation of Xiaochu projects.
He Yuchu, who is still in an embryonic state, will be cultivated in a glass container, and she is wrapped in a culture liquid similar to amniotic fluid.
At this time, the laboratory still needs to regulate the speed of He Yuchu's gene expression to speed up his growth and development.
According to the natural expression of human genes, it takes forty weeks from the embryonic state to the final birth of the baby.
It takes sixteen to eighteen years from infancy to full development into adulthood.
This time is too long for the lab.
Then you need to speed up gene expression.
Gao Siqi's team calculated that it takes four months to half a year from the embryo to the state of He Yuchu reaching the age of 15.
In the end, Gao Siqi set the time - half a year.
This is the most conservative time in the laboratory, and it is also to ensure He Yuchu's safety.
During this half-year, the laboratory will also perform some surgeries and experiments on He Yuchu's body, such as installing a chipset in the brain, connecting the chipset with the body's nervous system, testing the chipset to control body movements, and so on.
Half a year later, He Yuchu's body will reach the state of fifteen years old, and at this time He Yuchu can get out of the glassware, but she can't get out of the laboratory immediately.
In the final step of the fourth stage, He Yuchu needs to be rehabilitated and experimentally trained.
He Yuchu, who has been immersed in the solution for a long time, must not have adapted to the external environment, and even walking, grasping things with his hands, and eating to make his stomach adapt to the daily diet of human beings takes time, and this process is about a month.
If all four steps of the experiment are done perfectly, the experiment will be successful.
