Manuscript:

Wang Qianyuan said: "It's okay, you try, if you succeed, everyone will get rich together, it doesn't matter if you fail, let's find a way." ”

Liu Qilin nodded, carried the dragon meat into the breeding room, he has a set of instruments for breeding livestock, which can analyze DNA and synthesize embryos.

Wang Qianyuan stood in Liu Qilin's office and waited for the results, praying in his heart that Lao Liu would be cloned. After a while, people who feel that if they want to achieve great things, they must think of what will happen after two or three steps, if the cloning of dragon meat is not done, can you still do this business? Maybe you can go back to Mammoth Star and take some ready-made, if the production of dragon meat is small, then it will be auctioned once or twice a year, the so-called will not be open for a year, open for a year. Just thinking about it, Liu Qilin came out with two pieces of A4 paper.

Liu Qilin has a poker face most of the time, so it's hard to tell from the expression whether he has succeeded or failed. Wang Qianyuan raised his chin and asked, "What do you say?"

Liu Qilin shook the A4 paper in his hand, which turned out to be two test sheets, and said: "Component analysis and genetic analysis have come out, the main components of this dragon meat are keratin, free amino acids, guanidine derivatives, stearic acid, and some sterols and peptides. Regarding genetic similarity, the most similar at the moment is the Comodo dragon, with a genetic similarity of 97%."

Wang Qianyuan said: "Don't look like a chemist, what kind of protein amino acid Komodo dragon is still engaged in, you just say if you can do it." ”

Liu Qilin said: "3D printing can be done, because the composition of this dragon meat is similar to human nails, horns and hooves. We can print it out with ready-made horns. It's a bit difficult to clone because we can't get some genes. ”

Wang Qianyuan thought to himself that this epithelial cell should be regarded as the scale of this dragon, thinking that it was indeed similar to a human fingernail, and when he sold health care products, he knew that some buffalo horns were passed off as rhinoceros horns, and it was not a big problem. He was also prepared for the clone, after all, this was an alien creature, and it was strange that it was so easy to clone it. So he said, "Okay, you can print it, how much do you think this can be printed? Let's just cook, and leave the cloning to the scientists." ”

Liu Qilin said: "I have a lot of this material, you can print as much as you want." I think scientists are also mysterious about cloning, do you see Lao Zhou's research results on the Internet?" Wang Qianyuan shook his head and said that he hadn't seen it.

Liu Qilin opened his mobile phone and said to Wang Qianyuan: "Look at the research results of Lao Zhou, the genetic composition of this alien creature is 97% similar to the genetic composition of lizards, which is similar to what I measured. Don't worry, there's also the fact that it is 93% similar to a crocodile and 60% similar to a hen that lays eggs, so it can be difficult to clone this alien creature accurately. If you look at this number, 97 plus 93 and 60 plus 60, isn't that 250? ”

The two of them laughed and couldn't stop. If you do a component analysis of their laughter, about 20% are laughing at mathematics, 20% are laughing at science, and the remaining 60% are laughing at the research done by Professor Zhou Haoyu and their laboratory, in short, 100% laughing at this report.

Wang Qianyuan asked: "Which media wrote this report, it won't be the one that specializes in fake news, right?"

Liu Qilin said: "No, it's the Earth News Agency, an authoritative media. ”

The two laughed wildly, as if mocking the stupidity of human beings.

If Professor Zhou of the Institute of Biology knew about Wang Qianyuan's plan to make dragon meat into a dish, and he had already eaten a meal of dragon meat. I don't know if I can laugh or not, the more in-depth the study of this alien creature, the more frightened the scientist becomes.

Professor Zhou's work is not like Liu Qilin's farm, which only does some ingredient analysis, genetic testing and other things. In addition to dealing with the media, their important job is to try to clone an alien monster. Although the ancient technology of cloning is very mature, it is still very difficult to clone this alien monster. Usually the most basic unit of living things is the cell, in the known organisms on the earth, half of the prokaryotic cells are 1-10 microns, the human egg cell 0.1 mm is already visible to the naked eye, and the egg cell of the ostrich is the largest known cell, which is only 5 cm. Animal epithelial cells like this, which are 1 meter, 8 to 2 meters in diameter and have a mass of 200 kilograms, can be said to be unheard of. If ancient science fiction writers coined the concept of "macroatoms", then modern cosmic monsters have brought the concept of "macro cells" to mankind.

The biggest problem with cloning organisms with macro cells is that you can't find that big "oocytes." "There's nothing wrong with cloning sheep, cows, or even humans if the law allows it, because there are already sheep and cows on the earth. All you need to do is find a random cell from one of these animals and transfer the nucleus to the animal's enucleated oocytes. The cell divides and multiplies on its own to develop into an embryo, becoming an identical replica of the nucleus donor.

But the only thing that humans have obtained is the epithelial cells left on the rock wall of Mammoth, so where can we find this oocyte? You can't just operate on this monster and take out its eggs, right? Besides, we don't know whether this creature is viviparous or oviparous, sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction, but we can only guess according to the genes of the earth creatures that are similar to it. Napoléon means to take the nucleus, divide it into small portions, and then put the nucleus into the egg cells of an ostrich or lizard.

Yuri felt that Napoléon's plan was simply a stain on science. Doesn't the nucleus be divided into small portions that destroys the nucleolus? You can clone one a cell, but don't you clone half a cell with half a cell?

Zhao glanced at Yuri and said, "When Lao Tzu was a scientist, you were still learning to read and write." If the nucleolus is bad, it will be bad, and as long as there is DNA, cloning can be done. ”

Yuri said: "It's true that you can clone this with DNA, but you don't want to think about it, how can you use the oocytes of known animals to grow such a large organism? Is it possible for the egg cells to develop normally? We should use computer modeling to simulate how big the egg cells of this thing are, and then 3D print an oocyte, and then put the nucleus of this cell into it, then there is still a chance to clone it." ”

Whether it's Napoléon.Cho's plan or Yuri's plan, the first thing to do is to extract the nucleus. But the cells of this alien monster are so hard that they are dead, it stands to reason that animal cells do not have cell walls, but this macro cell but the cell membrane are indestructible. The probe used to extract the nucleus has been broken a few times and has not drilled a hole, and the Mohs hardness must be greater than 10.

The group at the institute couldn't figure out how to remove the nucleus for a while, and Charles joked that the cells were so hard that they could be used to develop bulletproof armor. If Wang Qianyuan and Du Jianguo were in their lab, they would definitely propose to use a pressure cooker to soften the cell membrane, but unfortunately they were not there. Of course, scientists are scientists after all, and in the end, everyone thought of the method of first burning the cell surface with a laser and then removing the nucleus with a quantum probe. The nucleus is also 50 centimeters, and the lab decided to try both Napoléon and Yuri, leaving only two of the three cells that had been brought back from Mammoth.

The laboratory decided to go to Mammoth again to get some samples back, and Zhou Haoyu volunteered to go. Because he was exiled by Wang Miqiu last time and did not board Mammoth Star, Yuri also said that he wanted to go together, Charles had been there, and it didn't matter if he was on this business trip, so everyone decided to take the team personally led by Napoléon Zhao this time, accompanied by Zhou Haoyu and Yuri, and then go to Mammoth Star to collect cells.

On a sunny morning, the expedition set out, this time with five transport ships, intending to collect all the remaining cells from Mammoth. Along the way, several people were also discussing which method was more likely to clone this extraterrestrial life, and what materials to use as the material for 3D printing oocytes. It sounds like everyone has some point, but who is right and who is wrong depends on practice to know.

When the expedition fleet flew to Mammoth, everyone suddenly realized that it seemed that the discussion had just been in vain, and the cells on the planet had been collected. Zhou Haoyu couldn't believe his eyes, and searched all the way along the east longitude of 104.07 degrees, and finally found a few more cells on a hill at 83.02 degrees north latitude, which looked like they had been dug up by someone, about 5 or 6. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw a familiar spaceship flying in the sky and stopped in front of him, several familiar faces appeared in front of him, and a familiar voice sounded: "Professor Zhou is also here to transport dragon meat? ”

The person who came was the group of Xingtu Company, the two CEOs and three employees were all here, and they were holding their hands to look at the inspection team members, as if they were watching a group of robbers breaking in.

Zhou Haoyu said: "Boss Wang, don't mess around, we are going to engage in scientific research, you have to get your "river valley scenic spot" to dig stones in other places." ”

Wang Qianyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, in fact, we didn't come to engage in scenic spots when we wanted these stones, but Professor Zhou, you are an old acquaintance, since you have spoken, then I will give you this pile of dragon meat." With that, he turned around and left.

Zhao suddenly said, "Wait, have the other cells of this planet been moved back by your company?"

Wang Qianyuan said: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhao said: "Could you please return the stones? In accordance with UN law, I have the right to requisition the cells that you have already dug up. “

Wang Qianyuan didn't speak, and Tian Lei on the side said coldly: "I'm sorry, our company's registered place is in Rose Star, our employees are all Rose Star people, and their work place is on the moon." Your so-called United Nations law is nothing but the intra-sphere law of the earth, so what qualifications do you have to expropriate our property? The pile of stones in front of you, each of which has the mark of our star path, is already the property of our company according to the first-come, first-served principle of interstellar law. Our Mr. Wang kindly gave you this wealth, if you don't cherish it, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

Rose Star is a terrestrial planet 20 light-years outside the solar system, which is not governed by the laws of the solar system and is a famous tax haven. Tian Lei just transferred the company's relationship to Rose Star, but he didn't expect it to come in handy. Zhao saw that the word "XT" was indeed marked with an oil-based pen under the remaining cells, and thought to himself that it was Xiucai who met Bing now, and he couldn't explain it reasonably. Let's ship these precious pieces of experimental material back first, and then we will pay attention to the other cells later. Then he said: "Your name is Tian Lei, right? I know you, you fought beautifully last time the Earth had a lawsuit with the Martians, and you were really a hero." In that case, let's just move these rocks back and talk about the rest later. ”

Tian Lei raised his eyes to look at Du Jianguo, who had not spoken, and then looked at Wang Qianyuan. The two bosses didn't speak, one nodded and the other shook his head, so that Tian Lei didn't understand what they meant, so he stubbornly said: "Okay, then that's it." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Just as he was about to get on the boat, Yuri suddenly shouted, "What are you bringing back the cells for? Can you sell the cells you brought back to the United Nations?"

Du Jianguo turned around and said: "For sale, you can pay attention to the auction dinner on our company's official website, a dragon meat banquet starts at 18,000, if you are successful in the auction and don't want to eat, you can also take the ingredients away." However, I highly recommend you try our dragon meat soup, which is definitely worth the price of the ticket. ”

Yuri was stunned, and repeatedly confirmed with Du Jianguo whether the "dragon meat soup" he heard was the meaning he understood. After receiving an affirmative answer, Yuri looked up to the sky and laughed: "Dragon meat soup, auction dinner, you people are really the enemies of science!"

......

The book found in an underwater temple actually records such technologies as 3D printing, cloning, and interstellar, which is really confusing.

With such powerful science and technology, how did this civilization come to be? When the manuscript mentions the "enemy of science," does it mean that mankind has encountered some kind of enemy after the high development of technology, causing mankind to return to the primitive wilderness again? What is that kind of enemy? Could it be that civilization is a kind of reincarnation?
