Chapter 468: Artificial Womb
。 After coming to the women's world, most of the high-tech was seen after I came into contact with the people of the Xu family.
After taking the submarine from a tubular passage under the water into the egg-shaped base underwater, we met several technicians, who saw Purple Butterfly and respectfully came up to greet her, Purple Butterfly smiled and said hello in return, and then asked the Nine Butler to settle the lounge for us.
"I'm sorry, Haixin still has Aowu, can you wait outside first? I took Wang Yong into my biology lab to see something, and it will come out soon. If you go in, I'm afraid ...... Not very convenient. After arriving at a break room, Purple Butterfly turned to the lewd girl and the female wolf head, and smiled apologetically.
"Oh, it's fine. Go and go back quickly. But if it's 3P, it's called the old lady.。 The lewd girl sat on the horizontal chair in the lounge and said.
"Uh...... Hehe, Haixin Xiaoyou is really funny when he speaks. Purple Butterfly smiled elegantly, her lips pursed into a gentle arc.
"Then Master, you detain the boogers here for a while, I'll go with Zidie to have a look, and I'll be back soon."
"Know~Dao~" The lewd girl crossed Erlang's legs and folded her hands on the back of her head, closing her eyes and cultivating her spirit.
I smiled at each other, and then I followed Purple Butterfly all the way to the biology lab.
"Wang Yong, go this way." Purple Butterfly is wearing a black suit, but it has a strong charm, generally speaking, the suit will give people a deep and dignified feeling, but Purple Butterfly is so slim and stable in a suit, which makes people have a slim and neutral feeling. I've rarely seen a woman look so glamorous and beautiful in such a formal suit.
"Purple Butterfly, what do you want me to see?" I followed Purple Butterfly all the way to the depths of the base.
"Hehe, look at our children." Purple Butterfly smiled softly and said.
"Child...... Child?! "Purple Butterfly's words made me feel like I was hit by a thunderbolt from a sunny day." Child...... Not in your belly? ”
"yes. I took the baby out. Purple Butterfly said in a calm tone. Because I was dating too many people and I was too busy with my official duties, I was worried that our child would attract attention from the outside world, so I raised him in an 'artificial womb'. ”
"Artificial ...... Womb?! ”
Hearing this word, I was stunned for a moment.
It's not the first time I've heard the term artificial womb.
In fact, when Qinghan was pregnant before, she mentioned to me about the artificial womb.
The so-called artificial uterus is to breed the embryo in a large capsule similar to a biological culture warehouse, which can create an amniotic fluid environment similar to the uterus of a pregnant woman, and can also provide enough nutrition to the embryo to ensure the smooth development of the embryo.
The artificial womb is also a well-known word in the world of women.
It is specially made for some women who are born with uterine diseases and cannot give birth normally, and use an artificial uterus to raise embryos, which has many advantages, that is, the environment of the artificial uterus is relatively stable, unlike real women who have accidents during ten months of pregnancy. For example, if the little county lord falls and miscarries, if an artificial womb is used, it will never occur.
Of course, artificial wombs also have their drawbacks, one is that the price required to use an artificial womb is too high. After all, it is necessary to support such a large and complex machine for ten months of continuous operation, even if it is interrupted for even a second. The cost of such a machine is almost sky-high, often millions, and a bad one is tens of millions. Not every family can afford it. Moreover, if the environment of the artificial womb is too stable, it will also stifle the possibility of external stimuli promoting embryonic growth.
The so-called external stimuli promote embryonic growth, which refers to the actions of women during pregnancy that some prenatal behaviors can make the baby smarter. For example, eating some extremely nutritious food or listening to some prenatal music can promote some variation in the baby's fund during the embryonic period, and the baby born after the fund mutation may have a particularly high intelligence, or have some expertise and talent such as music and art. If an artificial womb is used, there are fewer external stimuli and the possibility of the baby mutating is reduced.
Of course, there are some women in the women's world who are unwilling to get pregnant, they may be afraid of the pain of childbirth, because their life and career are too busy to find time to conceive a child, or they are afraid of the risk of dystocia, or some celebrities feel that pregnancy will cause their bodies to deform and other reasons are unwilling to get pregnant in person, at that time they will apply to the government for 'artificial womb' or 'surrogacy'.
And 90 percent of them choose surrogacy.
The so-called surrogacy is that the buyer implants the embryo of his own somatic cells and egg cells into the uterus of the 'surrogate woman' hired by himself, so that she can carry surrogacy for those 'buyers' who do not want to get pregnant. Because the somatic cells and egg cells are all from the buyer, the child born naturally inherits the buyer's genes, which is basically the same effect as the artificial uterus. But the price is much cheaper, and some surrogates may only need 200,000 surrogacy fees for ten months. That's much less than the cost of an artificial womb in the millions. Therefore, most women who are not willing to get pregnant in person will choose surrogacy instead of artificial uterus pregnancy.
In fact, when Qinghan told me about the artificial uterus, I also asked if I wanted to use the artificial uterus for surrogacy. But Qinghan refused, one reason was that she was afraid that the identity of the baby boy would be exposed, and the other was that she wanted to experience what it was like to be a mother.
I really didn't expect that Purple Butterfly would actually use an artificial womb to nurture our children.
It's no wonder that Purple Butterfly's belly is still flat, not like a pregnant woman at all!
"Come in." Purple Butterfly led me through a passage where professionals entered, and walked along the passage to the innermost corridor of the base, where there were a number of room doors, each numbered from 101 to 120.
Purple Butterfly led me all the way to room 120 at the end of the corridor.
Purple Butterfly swiped her ID card on the ID detector outside the doorknob to open the door to the room, and I followed her in fear.
Inside is a very spacious circular room, with a dozen or so bright shadowless lamps shining on the ceiling, illuminating the interior of the room as if it were daytime.
In all corners of the room, there are high-tech precision instruments that I can't name, such as capsules, medical machines, carts, omnidirectional surveillance cameras, pressure meters, temperature regulators, micro analyzers, and other wonderful instruments, the shape of which is either regular square or oval or irregular, most of which I don't know what to do.
I was drawn to the complex instruments in the room for a second, but soon my attention fell to something in the middle of the room.
It was a pillar.
A glass pillar.
That was my first impression. Of course, this is certainly not an ordinary glass pillar, this is a biological cultivation chamber, the cultivation chamber is filled with green liquid that I can't name, and in the center of the cultivation chamber, there is a floating piece of meat about the size of two adult palms, the meat is dark red throughout, in the shape of a vague human, like a curled up baby, but the hands and feet are not fully developed, it looks very small and soft.
The belly button, mouth, anus, and other parts of the baby are connected by special thin tubes in glass tubes, which seem to transport nutrient solution and dispose of excrement.
Seeing the unformed fetus inserted by countless intubations, I was in a trance, swallowed my saliva, I slowly stepped forward, until I walked to the front of the glass tube, and quietly looked at the little fetus inside through the glass tube.
It's small, it's really small. It's not even taken shape yet. At first glance, it's just a misshapen lump of meat.
"Purple Butterfly, this is ...... Our children? ”
"Shhhh Don't bother the little one. ”
Purple Butterfly put her hands behind her back, glanced at me lightly, then stretched out a hand, put her fingers between her lips and pouted, then turned her head, her beautiful eyes did not blink, and quietly looked at the embryo in the culture warehouse.
"Incredible, isn't it? This is our child, Wang Yong. Purple Butterfly looked at the child in the glass warehouse fixedly, her eyes were full of softness, and her voice was a little emotional, but with a little motherly tenderness. Although Purple Butterfly has always been gentle, this is the first time I have heard her speak in such a soft voice.
I stepped forward, put my palms against the glass warehouse, and put my face together, so that I could see the appearance of the child in the glass warehouse more clearly.
The tip of my nose touched the cold glass wool, I first saw the face of the fetus, I wanted to see what I and the purple butterfly child looked like, what I saw was a fleshy, bare head, that head has more obvious facial features, but the eyes and mouth are closed, the eyelids are more prominent, the nose is slightly pointed, the ears are small, it looks a bit like an alien.
Then my gaze followed the baby's body downward, in the direction of the genitals.
There, I saw a small dot that protruded slightly, a bit like a small mole bitten by a mosquito, which should be a symbol of a man.
Although this mole is small, I know that the meaning of this mole is extraordinary, which means that the second man in this world has appeared! 151 Kanshu.com .
