Half a day later.

Hannibal pushed the equipment loaded with artificial endometrium and followed Chen Chen to the door of an unmarked laboratory on the sixth floor.

Unlike other labs, this one has no indication of any purpose, only a red sign.

The top of the sign is marked with "Restricted Zone", and the bottom is marked with the words "Experimental Place, Idlers are not allowed to enter".

"Boss."

“Boss。”

Next to the alloy gate of the laboratory, there were already two young men in white research uniforms waiting there.

The two young men were both in their twenties-fifteen, one appeared to be Jewish, and had a special tassel on his research coat, and the other appeared to be from Middle-earth or Donghaizhou.

Chen Chen nodded and said to the three of them, "In the next period of time, you will be partners. ”

"Hello." When Hannibal heard this, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the two.

"Hello, I'm Horowitz von Neumann, European, Cambridge Department of Biology."

"I'm Lei Li, a native of Middle-earth, a senior at Princeton."

"I'm Hannibal, Hannibal Caesar, MIT in North America, but I dropped out of school......"

One of the three was a reserved Middle-earther, the other was a Jew with a strong sense of right and wrong, but Hannibal seemed the most normal, and after a little introduction of himself, the three resumed their silence again.

Chen Chen ignored the three of them, but looked at the camera overhead, but in a few seconds, as the camera passed Chen Chen's iris identity authentication, the alloy door suddenly opened.

"Come in."

After walking into the laboratory, Chen Chen looked back at the three Hannibal standing at the door in a daze, and immediately urged.

"Oh, okay...... Boss。 ”

The three of them walked in.

It wasn't until they walked into this laboratory that they realized that it was unusually wide, several times larger than the previous laboratory, and the key point was that they had never found out about the existence of this laboratory.

"It's just a very ordinary application of the illusion of space."

Chen Chen said lightly, and then he directly pushed out a few cylindrical devices from the side.

Hannibal looked up and saw that the cylindrical devices were about thirty centimeters in diameter and about one meter high, and their entire body was made of tempered glass, except for the base and top made of metal, and the inside was empty.

"These are ......" The three of them looked at the equipment, and only felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Familiar, right?"

Chen Chen seemed to have the intention of teaching, "I think you should have seen it in science fiction movies." ”

"A culture chamber for clones to grow!?" Hearing Chen Chen's explanation, Li Lei's heart suddenly moved and he was surprised.

"Yes, these are all specially designed by me based on the inspiration of science fiction films, but I like another name: life incubator."

Chen Chen patted the device, made a thumping sound, and then pushed out a constant temperature incubator again, "There are five human embryos in this, which have entered the embryo sac state, I think with your wisdom, you should know what to do next." ”

The three of them were taken aback when they heard this, and rushed to them without thinking, and looked towards the cultivation box one by one.

"It's been fourteen days?"

Hannibal muttered in a low voice, "I need a micromanipulator to implant these human embryos into the artificial endometrium, and at the same time, I need minerals, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, amylase, etc., and synthetic amniotic fluid ......"

"And this must be done before the embryo consumes the nutrients in the yolk, otherwise the embryo is likely to die due to lack of nutrition." John added.

"But what next? The blood supply in these artificial endometrium can't support the embryo to grow, right? Li Lei said with some uncertainty.

"14 weeks."

Chen Chen stretched out a finger and replied, "14 weeks is my estimated time, because at that time, the fetus has already formed the umbilical cord and placenta, as long as the umbilical cord is formed, there is no need for endometrial intervention." ”

"When the time comes, we can use an artificial oxygenator to connect the blood vessels on the fetal umbilical cord to directly deliver oxygen, and at the same time transport the inorganic salts, vitamins, fats, proteins and other substances needed for growth into the fetus."

"These operations are very difficult, and I am afraid it will be difficult to complete." Hannibal pondered for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.

In his opinion, this method is still too idealistic, and the way to simulate the palace environment is extremely difficult and complicated, and the feasibility of success is extremely low.

"You can rest assured that at this point, someone will naturally be able to complete it."

Chen Chen pointed out.

Indeed, simulating the environment in the palace is still difficult to achieve with current technology, especially the supply of nutrients, which cannot be completed by human power at all.

However, Chen Chen does not have this problem, humans can't do it, it doesn't mean that artificial intelligence can't do it either.

As early as a few days ago, Chen Chen carved out a piece of land within the research center, built a factory and purchased thousands of servers.

Subsequently, Chen Chen moved Xiao X from Zhongzhou to here.

Not only that, in order to solve the communication problem, Chen Chen built a macro base station out of his own pocket when he built the research center to ensure the problem of wireless network.

With Xiao X's ability to 24-hour indiscriminate macro-control, as long as he experiments a few more times and establish enough data models, he will be able to find the correct cultivation law sooner or later.

Moreover, the equipment in the laboratory is custom-made in Switzerland, and each device here can be connected to the Internet and operated by Little X.

Therefore, as long as these three people don't go wrong, Chen Chen doesn't have to consider the possibility of failure at all.

"That's right."

Chen Chen suddenly reminded, "My purpose in cultivating cloned embryos is not to give birth to them, let alone to make them real beings, understand?" ”

"What do you mean?" The three of them raised their heads when they heard this.

"A targeted inhibition of serotonin."

Chen Chen directly took out a piece of paper, wrote down a line of chemical formulas, and then looked at the three of them with a solemn expression, "Embryos injected with this kind of serotonin-like inhibition, their brain development will be inhibited, but it will not inhibit the development of the physical level. ”

The three of them immediately realized that Chen Chen had adopted the name "it" for these cloned embryos.

"I see, it's really the best option."

Li Lei and John nodded, the embryonic brain does not develop, and naturally it will not form consciousness.

Although even if the brain is developed, self-consciousness will not be formed during the fetal period, but Chen Chen's approach is undoubtedly more humane.

Because to humans, they are just empty shells with a body but no brain.

And although Hannibal doesn't care about this, Chen Chen is his boss after all, and he still has to listen to his words.

After instructing all this, Chen Chen gave the authority of the laboratory to the three of them, and then turned around and left the laboratory.

These three people are all geniuses in biology, and they are also the candidates that Chen Chen is preparing to be included in the forbidden area of God, and now that Chen Chen's company is getting bigger and bigger, there is no longer enough time for him to do experiments little by little, so it is important to cultivate some successors.

And this task of cultivating cloned embryos was naturally handed over to these three geniuses carefully selected by Chen Chen.
