Chapter 073: A Breakthrough in the Genetic Project
Using Bell's documentary for advertising, within a day, the heating rod became famous, allowing Ross to land a $15 million order.
It is foreseeable that with the popularity of the documentary, the audience's enthusiasm for the heating rod will become stronger and stronger, and Ross will get more and more orders for the heating rod.
The $2.5 million invested in Bell to shoot the documentary paid off. If you include the broadcast fee for Bell's documentary sold to TV stations and video sites, the share is obtained. The investment is simply great value.
Ross even wondered if he would develop other products, would he also take this path, using the influence of celebrities to advertise and promote products, and at the same time making a lot of money with film and television resources.
Heating rods and special bearings can already bring Ross an endless stream of wealth, and if you add Bell's share of the documentary, Ross will soon have hundreds of millions of family assets.
The money has already begun to be earned, and it is the small life that matters now.
The next day, Ross began to devote himself to the biological experiment plan again.
The Tianhe-2 computer is powerful, and it is many times more powerful than the dozen or so computers that Ross used at the beginning.
After the shotgun was replaced, the new equipment gave Ross more motivation, and he began to experiment with more energy.
Buried in the cold and boring laboratory, Ross used the powerful computing and processing capabilities of Tianhe-2 to process huge amounts of information and analyze data in an orderly manner. With the help of a supercomputer, Ross can do more with less.
He didn't even need to do manual experiments, as long as he used the simulation power of software and supercomputers, Ross could simulate experiments in the computer.
This made Ross's biological experiment process a hundredfold faster.
More than 90% of the genes of organisms are protein genes, and the other 10% or so genes are genetic genes, also called DNA.
DNA is made up of six small molecules that command human protein genes to transmit information, or undergo molecular changes to form base swaps.
The genes of organisms exist in the nucleus of cells, and among the tens of trillions of cells of organisms, which cells contain which genes, when they transmit information, the molecular changes produced when genes are exchanged, and the data is very terrible.
Starting from the key points, Ross studied the molecular changes of DNA when various helix, double and supercoil structures occur. Studying chromosome changes when DNA comes into contact with proteins.
It's a huge molecular project, and with the help of a supercomputer, it took a week to complete.
Through hundreds of millions of computer simulations, he found out 5,000 genes of sea anemones, and deciphered the code of about 600 of them.
What kind of abilities and functions each DNA possesses, Ross already knows.
Although Ross only deciphered 1/8 of the code of the anemone's genes, it was enough, and 342 of the genes were stimulated by the outside world to undergo genetic mutations, which allowed the sea anemone to transform from an animal into a plant, and the cells expanded.
In addition, 200 genes can be stimulated to allow sea anemones to quickly absorb light, carry out photosynthesis and transformation in the plant state.
The remaining 58 genes allow the anemone's cells to divide rapidly and finally contract muscles.
In principle, Ross is able to solve the problem of muscle expansion, muscle contraction, and energy absorption by extracting the special genes of these sea anemones.
But this is not the case, although the genes of humans are more than 85 to 90 percent similar to most living things, but the slightest difference would be very terrible.
Ross returned to work, using a supercomputer to simulate the genes of these sea anemones, and what kind of genetic mutations would occur when they were implanted in humans and come into contact with human genes.
Seven days later, hundreds of millions of attempts were made on a supercomputer, and the experimental process made another breakthrough.
Of the 600 genes that have been deciphered, 321 genes have been excluded by Rose.
If these genes are implanted in the human body, they can turn people into ugly monsters, or their temperament can change dramatically, and they can become ferocious and violent.
The remaining 279 genes, after contact with the human body, are completely safe, and can give people the ability to expand muscles, absorb energy, and convert energy, and Ross's Hulk serum program is preliminarily completed.
Excited, Ross began to devote himself to experiments in gene isolation and gene extraction.
Ross's genetic experiments are to extract a variety of cells containing different genes. So he had to remove the various tissues of the anemones and then extract the cells.
A sea anemone can't satisfy Rose, there is still a difference between manual experiments and computer simulation experiments, and if you are not careful, you will kill the experiment.
Ross could only ask Tan Li to help him purchase hundreds of anemones.
The experiment, which started in failure, slowly increased in success, and one by one the sea anemones died in the experiment of extracting genes.
After killing 88 anemones, Ross was able to extract the 279 cells he needed, which contained 279 genes of the anemones.
These cells are mixed with various amino acids and proteins to form a genetic potion.
This initial Gene Potion didn't give Rose the ability to weaken the Hulk, but it was enough for Rose to have the special ability to expand muscles, absorb energy, and transform energy.
Ross was reluctant to inject these genes into his body, but carefully isolated the cells containing different genes, put them in a glass, and carefully fed the cells with a variety of nutrients, so that the cells could speed up division and regeneration, increase the number of cells, and clone a large number of these cells containing different genes.
At constant temperature and adequate nutrition, these cells multiply very quickly.
Cells multiply by dividing, one becomes two, two splits into four, four becomes eight, and finally divides faster and faster, reaching a geometric multiplication.
Fortunately, these cells do not divide very quickly, only once in a few minutes, and if they are not controlled, after a day, the number reached will be terrifying.
But as long as the nutrients and temperature are controlled, they will divide much more slowly, and after the nutrients are consumed, they will not be able to reproduce without the support of energy.
It was late at night, and Rose, who had just finished the genetic extraction experiment, was a little sleepy, yawned, and put a little more nutrients into the 279 glasses, and after raising the temperature of the air conditioner a little, he looked at them with a microscope, and those cells were more active.
Rose yawned and flashed back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Rose got up early and went into the laboratory to see that a drop of blood-red water appeared in the 279 glasses. These blood beads, which are the cells that divide and clone, can no longer reproduce because the nutrients are depleted.
Ross sucked out a little of the 279 cells in the glass cover with a syringe and poured them into a glass bottle, and the remaining cells were put into the freezer along with the glass and stored in freezing.
Half an hour later, 279 glasses were stored in the freezer. They contain 279 genes of sea anemones.
The glass bottle in Rose's hand was mixed with 279 kinds of cells, containing 279 kinds of genes, and after adding some trace amounts of proteins and amino acids, and various nucleic acid sugars, a bottle of 50 mg of gene potion was successfully manufactured.
"Hehe, the weakest gene potion has been made. After I injected it, I was able to expand my muscles, absorb energy, and transform energy. I guess it will increase my muscle strength several times. ”
Rose looked at the bottle of genetic potion, his eyes were greedy, but he didn't dare to inject it easily.
"Forget it, for the sake of safety, let's find some experiments and do experiments. After it was absolutely safe, I injected again. ”
Rose grabbed a few mice, injected them with a genetic potion, and quietly watched the changes.
"If the experiment is completely safe, in addition to making me stronger, it seems that I can save the muscular dystrophy and paralysis all over the world. Hehe, it seems easy to get a Nobel Prize in medicine! ”
Ross yyed for a moment, quietly waiting for the progress of the experiment.
