Chapter 431: Clones and Flaws
In the life-sustaining culture warehouse.
The cloned monkey's heart is beating vigorously.
"Replace this heart with the monkey's original heart and see if there's any problem." Huang Haojie commanded.
"Okay." Zhao Zhangde responded, and it was very simple to perform a heart replacement operation at the hive base.
Outside the operating room, Huang Haojie watched several surgeons methodically performing heart replacement surgery on the monkey.
"Boss, if this rebirth factor continues, can a complete life be cloned?" Michelle asked.
"The cloning of the rebirth factor is a kind of asexual reproduction, but whether it can replicate a complete organism needs to be continued to be studied." Huang Haojie actually knew that he could clone a complete creature.
However, cloning organisms has a fatal flaw, this technology comes from parallel time and space - Virus Era, but when Virus Era cloned organisms, it discovered a very strange phenomenon.
This phenomenon is that the higher the organisms, the shorter the lifespan of the clone, and there seems to be something limiting the lifespan of the clone, and they call this phenomenon "cloning syndrome".
However, Huang Haojie combined the quantum soul theory of the quantum era to have some speculations about this so-called "cloning syndrome", and he suspected that the accelerated decline of the body caused by the loss of the soul.
Why do the higher the creatures, the greater the impact? And those clones like insects have hardly changed in any way, and they are not much different from normal individuals.
Because the lower the creatures, their quantum souls are very weak, and compared to the strength of mammalian quantum souls, it is simply a world of difference.
The rapid birth of the rebirth factor allows the clone to develop from a cell to an adult with a physical maturity of 18 years old in less than a week.
This kind of seedling pulling is very likely to lead to the clone's quantum soul strength being mutilated, or underdeveloped.
Clones in the virus era generally only have a lifespan of 2~3 years, after which the clones will become vegetative as if they are brain dead, and if the clones are maintained in a vegetative state regardless of the cost, the flesh can be preserved for about 5~6 years at most.
This is why Huang Haojie suspects that it has something to do with the strength of the quantum soul, and at the same time, he also has a bold idea, as if using the technology of the quantum era and the virus era, maybe he can create different sparks.
After a while, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and Kenji Takahashi took off his mask and said:
"Chairman, the operation was very successful, we have successfully replaced the original heart and clone heart on the monkey, the monkey has no problem for the time being, and we need to observe the other conditions for a while."
"You can take advantage of this time to do more experiments, such as the clone replacement of other organs, and the in-depth study of the regeneration factor." Huang Haojie proposed.
"Yes, Chairman."
"Boss, can we do an experiment on cloning?" Michelle asked suddenly.
Huang Haojie waved his hand: "Don't carry out the experiment of cloning people for the time being, you can clone monkeys or chimpanzees or the like, see if there is any problem first, and then consider the matter of cloning people." ”
He clearly had concerns about human cloning, not just moral and ethical.
The more important reason is that it is not cost-effective, a clone only has a lifespan of 2~3 years, and the clone that has just been cloned needs at least half a year of training before it can adapt to simple work.
In this way, the production of a clone can work for less than 2 years, and it can only do simple work, so what is the production of this kind of cannon fodder for? It's better to use the money to build robots, which is more cost-effective.
Huang Haojie is more optimistic about the application of clonal organ transplantation, artificial blood, cloned stem cells, artificial meat, and species protection.
Soon, more than a dozen research projects were established due to the extension of the rebirth factor, and these research projects were established according to Huang Haojie's vision.
For example, the cloning organ project is divided into many small items, including heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, eyeballs, skin, and the like.
If these programs are successful, many diseases can be solved.
May 27th.
Huang Haojie once again launched a stand-in robot in the hive base.
At this time, 5 days have passed since the birth of the rebirth factor, and the monkey that has been transplanted by heart is already jumping alive at this time.
Huang Haojie handed it a banana, and the little monkey hurriedly snatched the banana and gnawed it down.
"Chairman, the monkey's vital signs are almost the same as before, and no rejection has been found for the time being." Takahashi Kenji said as he passed a document to Huang Haojie.
Huang Haojie opened the holographic file and flipped through it only to find that Kenji Takahashi and his team had done several experiments in the past few days, namely transplantation of liver, kidneys, lungs, and eyeballs.
"Are the monkeys in these cages the other transplanted monkeys?"
"Yes, Chairman." Kenji Takahashi pointed to a monkey in a cage and said, "This is a kidney transplant, this is a lung transplant......
"Takahashi, if these monkeys are okay within a month, prepare for human experiments." Huang Haojie commanded.
"Okay, Chairman." Kenji Takahashi nodded.
The subjects of these human experiments are those condemned prisoners, pirates, terrorists, etc., anyway, these people are going to be destroyed humanely, so it is better to let them contribute to mankind.
After visiting the clone organ project, he went to the artificial blood, artificial stem cells, and artificial meat projects for inspection.
Artificial Meat Lab.
In a life-sustaining cultivation chamber, in the shaping mold, a piece of meat is rapidly being generated.
"Chairman, these are the artificial meat we cloned." Su Yong, the person in charge of the artificial meat project, excitedly introduced.
On the workbench, there were six samples of artificial meat, Huang Haojie even saw a piece of snowflake beef, and when he picked up this piece of snowflake beef, he knew at a glance that it was a piece of top-grade Kobe beef, because there was a farm dedicated to Kobe beef for him in the Sun Country.
And this piece of artificial meat is almost identical, with pale pink marble lines, which is more real than the real thing.
Pick up the scalpel on the side and cut through this piece of artificial meat, which is still beautifully marbled.
"It's exactly the same as real Kobe beef."
"Chairman, this artificial meat is actually the same as the real Kobe beef, from a biological point of view, the genes of this beef are Wagyu genes, whether it is nutrients, taste, appearance, and smell are exactly the same." Su Yong explained.
"Have you eaten?" Huang Haojie turned his head and asked in surprise.
Su Yong nodded and said, "I did eat it, and it tastes exactly the same as the real thing." ”
"You're not afraid, this is an experimental product, and it hasn't been tested for safety, so don't mess around next time." Huang Haojie reminded.
"Chairman rest assured, I know that this thing has no problem with the human body, if there is a problem, let me, the manufacturer, test it." Su Yong said confidently.
Huang Haojie was noncommittal, he did not agree with Su Yong's approach of defying the law.
However, there is actually no problem with artificial meat, at least in the era of the virus, where humans have been eating artificial meat for decades, and there is still no problem.
