Chapter 729: Genetic Modification of Mimic Beasts
The next day.
East China Sea Theater Biological Research Institute.
The Academy of Military Sciences has arranged the experimental environment, and the mimic beast has been put in place.
Before the experiment began, Lu Xiuwen needed to ask about the process and purpose of the experiment, and then evaluate the feasibility of the experiment.
After all, Zhao Xiaohui is just a little girl, and the role of supernatural abilities is huge, but she is lacking in basic theoretical knowledge of genetic technology.
In addition to this, Fang Yuan was also called to the laboratory.
Because the only awakened person in this world who can use the "base scalpel" is Fang Yuan, except for Zhao Xiaohui.
The Donghai headquarters can make good use of people, so that Zhao Xiaohui's "base scalpel" can be used in the most suitable place, and even cultivate her.
However, the necessary precautions still need to be taken.
Therefore, Fang Yuan, as the only two awakened people who could use the "base scalpel", needed to be present to confirm the efficacy of the "base scalpel".
"What are you going to do?" Lu Xiuwen asked while filling in the experiment log.
"I'm going to kill those bastards." Zhao Xiaohui showed a fierce look on her face, and with her delicate and childish appearance, she looked a little weird.
"Regarding the attack of the aliens, the headquarters will deal with it, and you don't need to be involved." Zhao Anya opened her mouth to remind.
"No, I'm going to solve all the alienated people at once." Zhao Xiaohui's eyes were very firm.
Zhao Anya came over to be in charge of her psychological construction, and said with a smile: "Now you can see the essence of alienated people clearly?" ”
This sentence made Zhao Xiaohui's heart blocked.
Before yesterday, she still had a sense of identity with alienated people, and the reason why she wanted to be the enemy of the Star Beast Civilization was just to be able to take out the "miniature bomb" in her father's heart.
The reason why she has a sense of identity with the alienated people is that the alienated people organization previously advertised that she was the "king" of the star beast civilization on the Internet, and praised her status very highly.
She was inevitably affected by this kind of remarks, a little floating, believing this kind of remarks, and feeling that she was the "king" of the star beast civilization.
However, yesterday's attack by the alien made her see the truth clearly.
The so-called "king" of the star beast civilization is simply a fart.
Those alienated people who worship her as a "king" will kill her if they want to kill her, and this "king" is too useless.
"What are you going to do with mimics?" Lu Xiuwen brought the topic back to the main topic of the experiment.
"I've heard you explain that every time a mimic beast mimics, it replaces the cells all over its body. If this is the case, after the mimicry beast performs the mimicry, the cells all over the body are new......"
Zhao Xiaohui said her thoughts: "Then I will modify the gene of one cell of the mimic beast, and use the gene of this cell as the basis to mimic and replace all the cells of the mimic beast." Wouldn't this achieve the goal of whole-body genetic modification? ”
Lu Xiuwen nodded and said, "We have already discussed this plan, and it is indeed feasible." But this can only modify the genes of the mimics, and cannot solve the most critical problem now. ”
The main scientific research direction of the current biological research institute is to develop genetic weapons against the star beast civilization.
Therefore, the most important projects are the cloning of brain beasts, the control of genetic countermeasures, and the study of extinction genes.
As for modifying the genes of the mimic beast, it can only change one mimic beast, and it won't have much impact on the entire star beast civilization.
Therefore, the Institute of Biology did not put a lot of effort into this.
After listening to Zhao Xiaohui's explanation, Fang Yuan immediately thought of her purpose and said, "Professor Lu, maybe a mimic beast can really play a huge role. ”
"How?" Lu Xiuwen was slightly puzzled.
"If there is only one mimic beast, it really can't have much impact on the star beast civilization, but if this mimic beast can be mimicked into a brain beast, it will be different." Fang Yuan pointed out the key to this experiment.
When Lu Xiuwen heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's right." If mimics can mimic brain beasts, then we are equivalent to having a mind beast. You don't need to clone Brain Beast, you can also get Brain Beast electromagnetic waves. ”
Now the Institute of Biology has encountered technical difficulties in the cloning of brain beasts.
Since the Brain Beast is a silicon-based life, and it is the top-level creature of the Star Beast civilization, the genes are very complex, and with the current cloning technology of the Biological Research Institute, it is impossible to clone the Brain Beast in a short period of time.
If you use the mimic beast to mimic the brain beast, then it is equivalent to bypassing the problem of cloning technology and directly obtaining a brain beast.
As long as you master a mimic brain beast and cast electromagnetic waves, then all alienated people within the coverage of electromagnetic waves have nothing to hide.
This will be a complete solution to the alienation crisis.
Not only that, the previous research on brain beast electromagnetic waves has been difficult to progress, the reason is that the laboratory cannot reproduce brain beast electromagnetic waves, and every time you want to experiment on brain beast electromagnetic waves, you have to go to the star beast world.
If the electromagnetic waves of brain beasts can be released in the laboratory, it will greatly promote the progress of related research.
"That's a good idea, let's start now."
Lu Xiuwen waved his hand and asked the scientific research team to start preparing, and then discussed with Zhao Xiaohui the specific details of the experiment: "If you want to control mimic beasts, the first thing is to remove the control genes in the mimic beast genes, and we will first find out the sequence of the control genes......
"No, I found them all out a few days ago, and I can start directly." Zhao Xiaohui had been studying all the base sequences of the control genes for the past few days.
"In that case, let's get started." Lu Xiuwen nodded, and after the team was ready, he directly started the experiment.
First, a major nuclear cell of the mimic beast is extracted, and the gene fragment is cleaved with a "base scalpel".
Zhao Xiaohui's ability can see the DNA structure inside the cell at the microscopic level, so it is very fast, cutting out all the base sequences related to the control genes.
Even if the mechanism of action of the "base scalpel" is against the sky, it still took more than two hours to complete.
After it was over, Zhao Xiaohui exhaled: "Okay, I'm done." ”
"Great, Xiao He, start using this main nuclear cell as the base to stimulate the mimic beast to mimic." Lu Xiuwen instructed the team to proceed to the next step.
"Professor, what do you use as a mimic target?" The researcher named Xiao He asked.
"Use the guinea pig first." Lu Xiuwen replied.
Although the goal of the experiment is to make the mimic beast mimic the brain beast, it can't be done at the beginning, the experiment has to be done step by step.
Now the first step is carried out, and the modified mimic animal cells need to be divided, and the first step can only be carried out after the first step of the experiment is successful.
Xiao He came over with a cage with a live guinea pig in the cage.
Lu Xiuwen put the genetically modified mimic animal cells into a petri dish, added the required nutrient solution, and then put the petri dish into the cage.
Next, electromagnetic stimulation is performed to stimulate the main nucleus cells of this mimic beast to divide.
