Chapter 1 Changing the Genetic Code

Next Chapter

"Do you know what the origins of our humanity are? Where exactly do we come from? Ape evolution? Or was it created by aliens? ”

"The earliest prokaryotes born on the earth 4.6 billion years ago, slowly developed into eukaryotic single-celled organisms, and then divided into single-celled plants and single-celled animals, and finally appeared multicellular plants and multicellular animals.

"If we humans had evolved over millions of years, what would the future become?"

A series of questions that have led to the inability of even the greatest scientists to prove where humanity came from is a mystery that remains unsolved to this day!

Now in the year 2220, in this 23rd century, human beings have entered the technology of immigrating to the planet, and some of the high-level elites live on Mars, which is the closest and suitable to the earth.

Country Z has taken the lead in the world, entered the first country, and successfully surpassed Mei country, not only the economy and trade is the first in the world, but even the weapons technology is the first in the world.

……

Mei Guo Bo Shi Dun, a beautiful and prosperous science and technology city, buildings up to several hundred meters high abound, like a steel forest, the most famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology within a few hundred meters of the ground, many people in white coats are busy walking, they are trying to test a new scientific research, surrounded by mercenaries with high-tech weapons, cold machinery walking and patrolling, as if there is no trace of emotional artificial intelligence, this is Mei Guo Level 1 security place - Laboratory 42.

……

"Today is an exciting time, why do you say that? Because today...... It is said that this genetic research is extraordinary, it can be said that it is a big leap forward in science and technology, can we surpass the dragon of country Z? Let's wait and see! The camera panned.

"Hello, Dr. Edward, is this the scientific discovery you want to show you?" At this time, a blonde female reporter with red square-rimmed glasses, respectfully holding a microphone at this time, said with a calm expression.

In front of him was a foreigner in a white coat, sitting on a white suspension chair, while the photographer behind him was silently shooting, his face revealing a serious expression, surrounded by silver-white alloy walls, many bodyguards and scientific research staff stood behind him waiting for this person to speak.

The foreigner in a white coat had white hair, a thick beard, a straight nose, a pair of brown glasses, greasy and messy hair, and dark circles that often stayed up late.

Even so, the reporter did not dislike the old man in front of him in the slightest, but more, on the contrary, he had great respect.

It turns out that this is the greatest doctor of human genetic engineering in the 23rd century - James Edward!

"Yes, this is the latest achievement of our research group." The white-haired old man looked excited, and trembled as he pressed the remote control in his hand, and the holographic screen behind him suddenly lit up, and the camera turned there.

……

A royal blue picture popped up in the air, and then a cute girl jumped out of the holographic screen, she happily waved her little hand, greeted everyone, and an electronic eye sounded: "Hello everyone, my name is Annie, a highly intelligent program, and the next is the report and video of this experiment." ”

The picture jumped clearly, "Everyone, please see, this is the T-307 experiment." The video screen is still the scruffy Dr. Edward, I saw him standing in front of a console, glancing at the display screen on the console, while skillfully operating the remote sensing controller, and the blue light holographic screen showed the data and energy trend at that time.

In the picture, there is a white and clean sterile warehouse, in the cabin, many instruments are grasped in turn, and a slender mechanical gripper first grabs out a test tube, which presents a light blue liquid.

After sucking it with a straw, a pair of mechanical tongs lifted another test tube with dark green, and slowly dripped down, Dr. Edward controlled the mechanical forceps to put the test tube into the fusion machine on the side, the machine spun rapidly, Edward paused, slowly raised his head, and his eyes showed excitement.

Dr. Edward pointed to the camera and said: "The genome program is starting, and this is a virus that promotes accelerated gene fusion, as for what virus it is, this cannot be revealed without authorization, and the next thing is to carry out genetic recombination on experimental organisms, genetic recombination I believe most people are not unfamiliar with it, after all, it is now the knowledge that everyone is accustomed to." ”

Viruses do not have the ability to replicate themselves, they use the cells of infected organisms to proliferate. They integrate their DAN and finally replicate multiple times in the host's cellular DAN, so that the parasitic organism will add the base sequence of the virus, and its mutations will be inherited by the daughter cells when the cell divides, so the genome will also be changed.

After the fusion and acceleration of the virus, the organism can be recombined and sorted many times, and finally become a stronger spirochet, if it fails, it is a gene mutation, otherwise it is an evolutionary success!

"Then I will briefly explain what is genetic recombination, genetic recombination is to disrupt or change some genetic viruses or DANs in the human body, such as AIDS, can be inherited, why?"

"It's because AIDS changes some genes, so that the DNA of the next generation of children will automatically make AIDS cells, although now we have basically mastered the technology of genetic recombination."

"But my genetic recombination, I believe many people know, but it is out of reach, that is, the recombinant gene - change the genetic code, not to mention people, as long as the creatures on the earth have their own unique DNA, but people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each chromosome has about 20,000-25,000 genes, so the average DNA has about 1,000 genes." Dr. Edward's parched lips pursed, and he picked up the thermos next to him and took a sip of water.

He continued: "Genes support the basic structure and performance of life. It stores all the information about the race, blood type, gestation, growth, apoptosis, and other processes of life. ”

"The interdependence of environment and heredity is responsible for important physiological processes such as reproduction, cell division, and protein synthesis. All life phenomena such as the birth, growth, decay, disease, aging, and death of living organisms are related to genes. It is also an intrinsic factor that determines the health of life. ”

"So human DNA is like a USB flash drive, but these USB flash drives are burning human genes, and every genetic error will undergo major changes, but the next thing I want to do is to change the genetic code of the special X chromosome."

After saying that, Dr. Edward clicked a button, and a door slowly opened on one wall of the sterile room, only to see a heavy alloy plate teleported from the door, on which was a chimpanzee struggling wantonly, and the metal ring firmly fixed its limbs, and it could only grin.

"Well, everyone knows that the genetic similarity between chimpanzees and humans has reached 94.3%, now we will take this chimpanzee Ruth to experiment, rest assured that we have tested it hundreds of times, and there will be absolutely no harm to Ruth." After speaking, Xiao An manipulated the instrument arm to inject a sedative into Ruth the chimpanzee.

Ruth's eyelids were as heavy as lead, and she finally fell asleep. "Alright, now that Ruth is asleep, it's time to perform a laser surgery on her."

As soon as the words fell, a laser cutter hung above Ruth's head, and 5 shadowless lights lit up, "Xiao An, this operation is still up to you." Dr. Edward said with a smile.

"Okay doctor." After that, the laser cutter was activated, and the end section emitted high-temperature particles, and the hard skull was as fragile as tofu, and the craniotomy was very successful.

Dr. Edward, who was outside the sterile room, explained to the camera while referring to the data at the time.

"Look, this is the hippocampus of Ruth's brain, the development is not perfect, now the white area shown by Xiao An is the development zone, and the black area is the development area that Ruth has not developed, and the development only reaches 2% of the entire brain, so its wisdom is only a few years old, and it can learn to use simple tools." Dr. Edward said with a smile.

At this moment, an unknown machine stretched out from the ceiling above Ruth's head, about 3 meters long, it looked like a piece of bamboo from a distance, and the overall dark blue also glowed with a little red light, as if the stars were shining in the deep universe, under the transparent glass, you could see a lot of wires connected behind it, and there was a very small extension triangle bracket at the front end.

In the middle of the circular glass cover, there is an unknown red crystal the size of a fist, its function is to break up the order of gene particles, but the earth does not have this crystal, its own extraterrestrial meteorite, has incredible ability.

At the very end is an extremely small lens, which is known to most people at the scene and is known as the world's smallest lens, known as the quantum optical lens.

"Now that Xiao An has slice open Ruth's brain, the next thing we have to use special particles to sequence genes, I call this wave of light a plasma ion beam." Edward pressed the button without the slightest hesitation, only to see that the machine quickly displayed a red beam of light, which was accurately mapped on Ruth's brain, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no super destructive power.

As time increased, the time in the video skipped by half an hour, and the white value on the hippocampus display map of Ruth's brain increased from 2% to 5%, and it was still rising in a straight line, and these indicators and trend charts were clearly captured by the photographer who watched them.

Some of the researchers behind him looked excited, their eyebrows fluttering, their hands dancing, like some carefree children, and whispered, their efforts these months have not been in vain, and it is also their honor to work with Dr. Edward!

Dr. Edward then poured the fused virus into Ruth's brain and ordered Ann to start stitching it up.

The stitches were completed, and Ruth the chimpanzee slowly became conscious, moving her fingers, slowly opening her eyes, if you were next to Ruth at the time, you would be surprised to find that her eyes, which were originally as bright as rubies, are slowly fading into black pupils.

……

"Now that everyone is seeing my research, are you surprised? Ruth's brain is like a teenager's wisdom now, but she doesn't need to be small. ”

"We have spent a month looking for 50,000 volunteers from different countries, different regions, different faces, and different blood types, but they are the ladder that lays the ladder for the future of science, thank you for their selfless dedication!"

"Everyone knows that chimpanzees are genetically very similar to humans, so the next one is a human trial, and then we'll have a report on Christmas Eve." Dr. Edward continued.

After the video was played, Dr. Edward answered a few more questions and comments to the female reporter, and it was obvious that the experiment was successful, and Dr. Edward and the others were very happy.

"Well, that's it for this report, and I have laid a solid foundation for Dr. Dehua in the future of genetics." The blonde reporter was in awe of Dr. Edward, and left the lab with the photographer.
