1125 Crazy genetic experiments that changed the world
"When will the insemination of egg cells be implanted into the mother's body? Do I need to be cultivated outside? Liu Yijiu didn't know what kind of technology the base had developed in this regard, if it could simulate and cultivate embryos outside the mother's body, perhaps, the technology of cloning humans might be realized.
Countries in the world research cloning technology use the mother to implant embryos, and it is impossible to artificially simulate the mother's gestation environment.
Even in their time, such a situation was not realized.
The various conditions in the mother's body are very complex, and there is no way for the culture medium to be completely consistent with the various nutrient solutions secreted by the mother.
"The implantation must be completed within 12 hours, otherwise, there is a high risk of death! We have studied for so many years, and we have studied the breeding environment of animals and humans more than 100,000 times, and there is no way to completely prepare the same nutrient solution as the maternal environment...... "Zhao Min is a little lonely, if you want to complete the cloning technology, the most critical aspect is this, Liu Suzhi told her a lot back then, but she did not succeed.
"Isn't it necessary to select these embryos? Or do you implant more than one at a time and then select one? "The question raised by Liu Yijiu is quite professional.
Li Rui couldn't wait to implant this insemination embryo into his belly at one time, so that he could give birth to eight children at once.
One more than a gourd baby!
Moreover, it is estimated that there is not much possibility of conducting such an experiment in the future, and Liu Yijiu will definitely not cooperate.
She didn't know that IVF requires the selection of embryos, and if the selection is made after implanting in the mother's body and growing for a period of time, it will make her suffer a great sin. Yes, Liu Yijiu asked such a question.
He was even more worried that Zhao Min would use the remaining embryos for other experiments.
"12 hours is also enough time for us to observe these eggs that have just been fertilized and then select them. Therefore, we will choose three to implant in Li Rui's body, and finally after a period of observation, we will use technical means to selectively keep one or two according to the development situation......" Zhao Min understood what Liu Yijiu was worried about, looked at him and said very seriously, "Don't worry, I won't conduct other experiments without your consent." ”
"I hope so."
Liu Yijiu was noncommittal, he didn't believe Zhao Min.
It's not that I don't believe Zhao Min as a person, but I don't believe that a crazy scientist can maintain his principles and stick to his bottom line before facing a project that can cause a breakthrough in his own field of research.
The development of human science and technology, in many cases, is due to the madness of scientists or because of accidents.
"Are you going to stay here until we've done all the analysis and implant before leaving?" Seeing Liu Yijiu and not leaving, Zhao Min was a little unhappy.
Liu Yijiu nodded, especially when he saw that there was still some liquid left in the glass next to him that had become transparent, he was not completely relieved. "What are you going to do with the rest of the cells?"
Although the vitality is not very strong, before combining with the egg cells, Zhao Min's team also deliberately weakened these sperm cells carrying genetic genes.
Who knows if there will be other effects in the end without treatment?
Zhao Min didn't get angry, but picked up the small test tube that originally contained the medicine he didn't know, poured all the remaining liquid into the glass, and then handed the glass to Liu Yijiu, letting him observe under the microscope by himself, "Now you are relieved?" ”
Liu Yijiu saw through the electron microscope that all the tadpoles in it were not moving, and then he was relieved.
"All these embryos, I hope you can keep them well, even if Li Rui gives birth to a child, no one knows if they will be reproduced in the future...... "Those eight embryos, this time it was tried, there will be a few left, Liu Yijiu doesn't want his offspring to be used for experiments.
"Don't worry, the DNA of each embryo is different, you can see it under the electron microscope, your own memory is good, observe by yourself, remember the special ...... of each cell" Zhao Min didn't seem to be angry at all, everything was to make Liu Yijiu feel at ease.
In the end, Liu Yijiu also felt that there was nothing missing, and then left with Li Rui.
After Liu Yijiu left, Zhao Min did not leave, but continued to put on a mask and shouted into an office next to him, "Hurry up!" ”
Several researchers in white lab coats, masks on their faces, and only their eyes were exposed, quickly entered.
"Immediately resuscitate these sperm cells and inject them with nutrient solution!" Zhao Min's face became serious, and he commanded the scientific researchers.
A scientific researcher immediately took out a glass bottle from his pocket, which contained milky white liquid, stepped forward, and poured the milky white liquid into the glass that originally contained Liu Yijiu's sperm cells.
The glass that had become transparent soon turned milky white again.
"Pay attention to the viability of these sperm cells, wait until the viability is restored, and start the experiment. How are the egg cells collected from our volunteers doing? According to their respective numbers and various test conditions, a part of the sperm cells was immediately separated for insemination...... "The whole laboratory began to become busy under Zhao Min's arrangement.
At this time, Zhao Min showed a smiling face, took off his mask, and walked out muttering. "Boy, play this with my mother, you are still a little tender, fortunately your kid is not engaged in biological genetics, otherwise it would not be so easy to get experimental samples!"
Not far from the laboratory, there were more than a dozen beautiful women, with different expressions, who stood up in unison when they saw Zhao Min coming in.
This is a volunteer recruited by Zhao Min.
Their identities are the same as Li Rui, but they don't have a father like Li Rui who is in charge of the logistics department, so there is no way to decide their fate.
"Finally, I would like to ask you again if you want to participate in this program. The project is very risky, and there is a high probability that even life will be lost. Zhao Min didn't have the kindness he had when he got along with Liu Yijiu, "Of course, accepting the experiment, whether it fails or succeeds, what I promise will have an effect, whether you go abroad or stay in China, you can give you a new identity, you don't have to marry someone who has nothing to do with you, let alone spy on your husband......"
"Director Zhao, when will the experiment take place?" A tall woman with a delicate face calmly asked Zhao Min, "After the experiment is completed, can we really break away from everything we have now, including our children?" ”
"The child belongs to the base, so naturally you can't take it away. Besides, if you take it away, how can you go about starting a family? After completing the experiment, we will use the surgery to repair the wounds caused by your childbirth, and you are still Yunying's unmarried girl. Zhao Min nodded.
These are the mothers she has carefully selected for testing.
Basically, it is also the best of the last batches of personnel trained by the logistics department.
She did not say that it was national, but that it was base. But for these women who are loyal to the country, there is no difference between the base and the country, but everyone still finds the difference, which is the key to their hesitation.
"Okay, I'll participate. Isn't it just to have a baby! The pretty woman gritted her teeth and nodded.
Many of the other women are still hesitating.
Although they don't understand what genetic engineering is, let alone know that the child they want to conceive is actually the child of themselves and a person they don't know, and at the same time, the experiment will prove that the sequelae and side effects of raising are not clear at all.
"If you don't participate in this experiment, your whole life is doomed, and you can live a whole life when you meet a good man. Of course, if there is a mistake...... "Zhao Min hopes that all people will be voluntary, because this experiment is related to the whole country."
This is just Zhao Min's own wishful thinking, and at the same time, there is also the support of the bigwigs of the base management committee, and the most supportive is Liu Suxue, who is far away in Ukraine, and he hopes that Liu Yijiu can leave more descendants.
He is also very concerned about the selection conditions of the experimental mother.
Even, overseas selection of beauties from all over the world.
However, it is not clear whether the experiment will succeed or what the final consequences will be.
Anyway, these experiments are all carried out by seeing.
"Director Zhao, when will the embryo transfer take place?" She was still the prettiest woman who spoke at the beginning.
"If you want, sign the agreement in your hands, transplant in twelve hours, if it goes well, give birth to a child in ten months, and then according to the situation, from now on, at most two years, you can change your new identity and live the life you want......" Zhao Min looked at the other women, his face was very ugly.
In the past, they all expressed their willingness, but when it came to the end, they began to hesitate.
"Of course, no matter what you choose, we will not force you, although everything you do is for the country, but we respect your own wishes......"
"I agree to participate!"
"I ...... I'm willing to ...... too."
In the end, out of more than a ten, only four participated in the experiment.
"You know the rules of secrecy better than I do, so I won't emphasize them here. If you don't want to participate, please keep this matter in your heart. You can leave, and the base will arrange a husband for you. Although Zhao Min felt uncomfortable, he didn't have any retention.
She didn't know if this kind of experiment would succeed.
It is related to the research of Liu Yijiu's gene, and it is also the engineering continuation of the core subject of the 619 project.
Liu Yijiu didn't know what was going on in the laboratory, but Zhao Min's abnormal performance made him very uneasy.
