Chapter 31: In the Name of Love (4)
Dr. David began the experiment, and Nan Jianguo waited for the results with great anticipation.
After more than ten years of experience, and because of the operation of medical equipment and vaccine production plants, Nan Jianguo also has a certain understanding of medicine and life sciences.
After reading through Dr. David's previous research materials, Nan Jianguo began to understand that the so-called resurrection of the dead is to use the cells left before the deceased to clone a person who is exactly the same as before, and then awaken the memory of the deceased in the cells.
But is it really possible to clone a large living person from a somatic cell? Is the memory that exists in the cell really the same as the memory of the deceased? Can the memory be awakened?......
With all kinds of questions, Nan Jianguo found Dr. David and asked him to explain in person.
Dr. David sorted out his previous research results, coupled with the current research assumptions, and began to explain to the investor Nan Jianguo, " As early as 1997, cloned sheep has been born, which shows that mammalian cloning technology has matured, the emergence of human cloning is a matter of time, I led the experimental team before, has successfully cloned primate monkeys and gorillas, but due to the restrictions of American law, can not carry out human cloning experiments, although China also prohibits, but I believe that with your financial resources and power, this is not a problem. ”
After speaking, David quietly watched Nan Jianguo's reaction, David was convinced in his heart that the infatuated man in front of him would definitely help conceal it, and even agreed to all his requests, from the first time he saw Nan Jianguo, David knew that his obsession with his dead wife would make him do anything incredible.
Sure enough, as Dr. David expected, Nan Jianguo was silent for two seconds before asking, "Are you sure you can clone an identical person?"
"The technology is mature, it's just a matter of time. David replied very cleverly, not only not giving an affirmative answer, but also giving Nan Jianguo hope.
Nan Jianguo felt that he had no other choice, although he could not be 100% successful, as long as there was hope, he would persevere.
Nan Jianguo finally nodded with determination, "Okay, you go on, I want to know all the details of your experiment, as well as all the possible results." ”
With a triumphant smile, Dr. David continued his work on human cloning.
Simple and clear language, David spent more than half an hour explaining the entire experimental process, and after speaking, David looked at Nan Jianguo quietly, he knew that the infatuated man in front of him must have a lot of questions.
Sure enough, Nan Jianguo quickly raised the first question: "Aren't the cloned people directly adults, and why do they have to grow up little by little from infancy?"
"Uh......" Dr. David paused, and said: "Directly cloning the body in adult form, this was a scene that could only come out in movies in the past, but now, after more than ten years of research by my experimental group, this technology is already feasible, and after a few rounds of research, you can clone the perfect adult form of the body, Mr. Nan, you can choose the age you want your wife to be resurrected." ”
Nan Jianguo didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Just choose when Xiaojing's life is interrupted." ”
"Oh, Mr. Nan means the age of my wife when she died in this Ebola outbreak, forty years old. Dr. David was a little curious and asked, "Mr. Nan, don't you want your wife to be younger?"
"No, I just want the original her to come back to life, she doesn't need to be young, she doesn't need to be beautiful, she just needs the one who can stay with me, the original her. ”
Nan Jianguo said the obsession in his heart, Dr. David was a little surprised, and nodded respectfully, "Okay, I understand, and I will follow your wishes, but before cloning a perfect adult body, we must first carry out somatic cell cloning, that is, first clone the baby, and study the cellular memory wake-up technology on the baby." ”
Nan Jianguo understood that Dr. David was not sure to clone Xiaojing's forty-year-old body before his death, so he could only clone a baby like a cloned "Dolly" sheep, and use the baby as an experimental subject to study cellular memory recovery.
Thinking of this, Nan Jianguo hesitated a little, Dr. David understood what Nan Jianguo was worried about, and persuaded in time: "Cloning a baby first is the premise of studying cellular memory, and the awakening of cellular memory is the key to resurrecting a person completely. ”
Thinking about his wife overcame all reason, and Nan Jianguo finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, everything goes according to your plan." ”
——
In the following days, everything went according to the experimental plan, the first baby cloned from Guo Xiaojing's hair was born smoothly, in the face of the newborn child, Nan Jianguo had a very wonderful feeling in his heart, the baby in front of him had exactly the same genes as his wife Xiaojing, but she was a completely different life form from Xiaojing, this baby was independent, special, the experimental team called her "Experimental Body No. 1", but Nan Jianguo named her "Jingyi".
After Jingyi was born, growing up day by day, Dr. David's experimental team tried to awaken the memory of the cells in Jingyi's body according to several schemes designed before, that is, the original memory of Guo Xiaojing's donor cells.
After trying several schemes one by one, they all failed, and Jing Yi not only did not recover Guo Xiaojing's memory, but also had his own new memory.
Jingyi has lived in the secret experimental base that Nan Jianguo has seen since he was born, and has never seen the outside world, Jingyi's memory is all about the life of the laboratory, the people in the laboratory, and of course the most important person in it is Nan Jianguo.
Nan Jianguo will come to the experimental base almost every day to visit Jingyi, Jingyi is as dependent on Nan Jianguo as he is on his father, Nan Jianguo looks at Jingyi's face that looks more and more like his wife Xiaojing, and he has a very subtle feeling in his heart, but Nan Jianguo understands very well that this feeling is not love, but a pain in his wife's thoughts, a move to watch the growth of similar lives, and a fear of an unknowable future......
Seeing that Nan Jianguo's feelings for the experimental subject No. 1 "Jingyi" are becoming more and more complicated, Dr. David is very worried, and it is taboo to have feelings for the experimental subject, which will affect the experimental process, and even affect the experimental results, especially the experimental investors who have feelings.
