Lin Fan followed Yusuke Kojima and others out of the 55th floor, transferred to an elevator in the building that required identity verification to enter, and continued to climb up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The elevator quickly stopped on the 58th floor, and as soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Fan found that the layout here was very different from the floor below.

"Mr. Lin, this is the core area of our Sanyo headquarters - Sanyo Life Science Laboratory, and the research results here are the supreme treasure of Sanyo, and once announced, they will have the ability to influence the world's scientific process." Yusuke Kojima proudly introduced.

"Let's go this way, we have to prepare before we go in."

They entered the locker room from the antechamber, where everyone changed into a set of white sterile protective suits, and then passed through a three-tiered sterilization inspection tunnel from the back of the locker room to enter the laboratory.

Lin Fan followed Kojima Yusuke, Nishimura Antelope, and Wise Leopard Horse on the aisle of the laboratory, and there were smooth floor-to-ceiling glass partitions on both sides of the aisle, through these glass partitions, you could see that there were many huge tubular petri dishes in the experimental area inside, and these petri dishes were cultivated with some strange embryos and organs, and there were staff members monitoring and recording on the side of the petri dishes.

Suddenly, Yusuke Kojima stopped, pointed to a petri dish behind the glass partition wall and said, "Classmate Lin, look at this~"

Lin Fan looked in the direction he was pointing, and he found that a strange creature was floating in a cylinder container resembling an aquarium behind the partition wall, this creature was about the size of a child, with a human-like upper body, and scales below the waistline gradually appeared, taking on the form of a fish.

"W-Is this a mermaid!??" Lin Fan said in surprise.

"Yes, that's right, this is the mermaid 'Wita' created by our Sanyo~" Yusuke Kojima said.

"You created it?" Lin Fan looked at them in disbelief, Yusuke Kojima laughed, and Nishimura Antelope also looked surprised.

"Dr. Wise, please quickly explain to Mr. Lin the origin of 'Yongtai'."

"Yes, Vice President." Wise Leopard Horse said in a calm tone, "'Yongtai' is an ancient creature that we have reborn using gene burning technology. ”

"Paleontology?"

"That's right, merfolk lived on Earth." "There are many myths and legends in human history that have described this creature, but it lacks a strong evidence, so it is considered by the modern scientific community to be something that people imagined, but fortunately, we Japanese have found and preserved this evidence." ”

"What?"

"In 1800, the second year of the Edo period in Japan, a fisherman named 'Ishido Maru' in Shiga Prefecture caught a strange creature more than one meter tall with a human body and an ugly appearance that made a baby-like cry while fishing in the open sea. He brought the monster back to Shiga, which caused a sensation at the time, and people thought that the capture of the water demon was a bad omen, so he beat the creature to death. ”

"At that time, a wealthy merchant named 'Bandai Tengbei' heard about this and rushed to Shiga to buy the corpse of the dead 'water demon' for a large amount of money and make it into a specimen for his collection. However, the "Bandai Tengbei" did not appreciate this strange collection for long, and died of a strange disease, his family thought that it was the water demon spirit, so he handed over the mermaid specimen to the monks of Osaka Ruilong Temple to keep it, the monks of Ruilong Temple attached great importance to this mermaid specimen, regarded as an important magic weapon in the temple, so it has been preserved to this day, we found this dried corpse specimen in Ruilong Temple, extracted the DNA of the mermaid from it, and used gene burning technology to encode the mermaid's cells, and cultivated and grown. ”

"We haven't announced the existence of 'Yongtai' yet, and once it is announced, the world will definitely be shocked, and the name of our Sanyo Group will be written into history, hahaha~" Yusuke Kojima on the side said with a smile.

Lin Fan's brain seemed to have been opened, and many questions suddenly popped up, and he asked, "What the hell is going on with this 'gene burning' technology?!" ”

"Come, go this way, we'll show you how this technology works." Yusuke Kojima finished speaking and walked forward.

The group walked straight from the aisle to the central control room in the center of the laboratory, where the scene of the entire laboratory could be monitored. They came to a flat projection screen in the center of the central control room, and Yusuke Kojima said, "Dr. Wise, you should explain the principle of 'gene burning' to our classmate Lin." ”

Wise Leopard Horse activated the projection screen, and a hologram of double helix DNA appeared above the projection screen, and Wise said: "Every living thing on the earth has its own unique form of DNA, and the genetic information in DNA is the source code of life, and the growth of all life is a DNA-encoded process." ”

Holograms on flat projection screens have evolved from double-helix DNA to biological forms.

"DNA exists in every cell of an organism, and a single cell contains a complete set of genetic information of the species, so it can be said that only by having a drop of blood and a hair of a certain organism, we can extract all its genetic information from its cells." Gene burning technology is a technology that extracts DNA information from biological cells and then uses it to resynthesize cells and proteins to form the original living organism. ”

"For example, we extract the cells on the residual skin tissue of the dried cadaver specimen, decode the DNA genetic information in it, and then use DNA to arrange it in the form of DNA, place it in a new living cell, resynthesize the protein, and divide to form its embryo. ”

The hologram of the mermaid "Yongtai" divided from cells into embryos, and finally changed into the appearance that Lin Fan had just seen.

"The process took us more than three years." The wise leopard horse quietly looked at the hologram of the mermaid 'Yongtai'.

The shock in Lin Fan's heart could not be calmed for a long time, he looked at the hologram of 'Yongtai', this image was more specific than the thing he had just seen, its hair was thin, and it had sharp monkey gills, which did not look like the mermaid in the fairy tale at all, but looked terrifyingly hideous.

He suddenly remembered the unknown creatures he had seen on Deng Jinbo's tablet, could these monsters be made by them?

This inference suddenly frightened Lin Fan, and he asked cautiously, "Mr. Kojima, apart from the mermaids, you ...... Is there anything else that has been made? ”

Yusuke Kojima didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Fan's question, and replied, "Of course, it's not just that, we at Sanyo are committed to studying all extinct creatures, as long as it is possible to use the 'gene burning' technology to regenerate creatures, we will not let go."

"Is that Ning En made by you using the 'gene burning' technology?" Lin Fan finally threw out the doubts in his heart.

"No, the monster you mentioned has nothing to do with us, and this is the first time we've heard of it, but I believe that Dr. Nishimura's 'Poseidon Project' should have something to do with it."

Nishimura Antelope on the side interjected: "Classmate Lin, about this 'Poseidon Project', I found a piece of information in my brother's computer, you might as well take a look." Nishimura Antagogue looked at Kojima, Kojima nodded to her, and then he gave a few simple words to the staff in the central control room, and all the staff in the central control room got up and left.

When there were only four of them left in the central control room, Nishimura Antelo took out a USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer in the central control room, and some information began to be displayed on the projection screen of the central control room, and she clicked on one of the picture files.

A photo popped up, Lin Fan looked at this photo in surprise - this is a group photo of Li Dong, Linda and Nishimura Yu, the three of them look relatively young, they should have been taken a few years ago, I saw them wearing protective clothing similar to them, standing on a railing platform, and behind them are huge aquariums, these aquariums are filled with some strange creatures, and one of the aquariums contains a milky white monster with a human face and a fish body, which instantly shocked Lin Fan's memory more than two months ago.

"That's—that's Ningn!!" Lin Fan pointed at the white monster and shouted.

Wise Leopard Horse was also shocked to see the milky white monster, and it seemed that it was the first time he had seen this picture, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you sure it is the monster you saw in the South Pacific?" ”

"Yes, absolutely!"

Nishimura Antelo and Kojima Yusuke on the side didn't seem to expect such a big reaction from the wise leopard horse, and looked at him a little puzzled, but the wise leopard horse didn't respond.

"This is a picture my brother took a few years ago, and if I'm not mistaken, they should have been in the United States at the time." Nishimura Antagoko continued.

"The United States?"

"Yes, my brother participated in a research program in the United States in 2005 and has been in the United States for most of his time since then, not returning to Japan until 2008." Nishimura Antagogue said.

"Was he involved in the so-called 'Poseidon Project' with my teacher at that time?" Lin Fan asked.

"I don't know exactly what he was doing at the time, because he never mentioned it to his family, but as you can see, these things that my brother did were probably very similar to the research that we did in Sanyo Group, you see." Nishimura Antagogue then opens other image files.

These images show giant octopuses with suction cups clinging to glass walls, one arm wide and the height of a figure in front of the glass; There are mermaids cruising in turquoise water tanks revealing sexy female bodies and fish tails; There are huge strange fish with transparent and glowing bodies and many bulging eyes on their heads; There is also a black sea serpent crouching at the bottom of the aquarium......

"Wise Doctor, what do you think these things are?" Yusuke Kojima asked.

"One is the ancient giant octopus, the second should be a different type of mermaid species than 'Yongtai', the third is a kind of deep-sea ghost fish, and the fourth should be the legendary sea snake." Wise Leopard replied.

"Hmm~" Yusuke Kojima expressed his appreciation, and he turned to Lin Fan and said: "I believe that Dr. Nishimura's 'Poseidon Project' is also using genetic technology to restore some extinct creatures. ”

After he said this, Lin Fan found answers to many questions in his heart, and said, "Then Ning En was created by my teacher?" ”

Kojima nodded in agreement, but the wise leopard horse on the side said, "No, Ning En was not created by them, and the person who created them is here." ”
