Wuxu New Year Fanwai - The Possibility of Life (I)

On the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, I would like to present an extra article. It's not a storyline.

Thursday 10 May, 20:00 GMT

"Today, we are very pleased to announce that the Biological Genome Atlas has been completed! That is, starting today, for 'Where do we come from?' This question, understood from a biological point of view, will become possible! Professor Shen held the wine glass in his right hand and held it high. At this moment, it was as if the sun was passing through the mellow red and clear liquid, and the whole world was immersed in a pride that had never been seen before.

"I feel a little bit proud, and indeed proud, that from more than 300 years ago, when humans began to understand DNA and RNA, to today, we can finally say that we can fully understand the definition of life at the molecular level."

Every spectator looked solemn, and their movements were almost paused. Even when it comes to sports, reading, and playing, it's no exception. The live broadcast presented in people's visual center was jointly released by Triple H and WHO. Although everyone has the right to choose whether to watch it or not, this kind of news about themselves will choose to pay attention to, except for Delin. What he's looking at is the ongoing surgeries. Yes, he was in the monitoring room, and it was like God was watching over every human move from this position, monitoring every Triple H medical system's surgery.

"Next, I would like to invite Shu Tong, the person in charge of this project, to give a detailed introduction." The camera pans to Shu Tong on Professor Shen's side.

"It is really a great honor and a great blessing for us to receive the final baton in such a magnificent project." Shu Tong began his speech, "And our team is not the only working team, on the contrary, our team is one of the thousands of teams involved in this project, but in terms of time, we are the last." So I emphasize again our luck because this time was caught up by us. ”

Shu Tong also gave his speech on the rostrum, and the audience watching the live broadcast should have done something a long time ago. Only Fang Rong was still watching the press conference carefully, although she was not at the press conference, although she already knew everything Shu Tong said, although she had already started to use BioTupu in her surgery two years ago, although she was in an operation......

"The molecular engine has been built", the system's prompt replaced the live broadcast screen on Fang Rong's visual center, Fang Rong had been waiting for this prompt for a long time, so when this prompt appeared, she did not hesitate to enter the next instruction, and soon, the manipulator built based on the molecular engine had been completed, but the end of the entire power transmission chain, that is, the finger part of the manipulator, used hydrogen atoms that could be obtained everywhere in the womb.

Now you can start towing the two robots.

"Manipulator ......" Fang Rong shook her head helplessly, this is what she thinks is the most ingrained in her field, but it is also the most inconsistent, although in actual principle, it is indeed no different from the manipulator hundreds of years ago, so the whole mechanical guidance system is still the most classic IVBI system.

Every part of the whole device comes from the mother's body, and the whole construction process is to guide the displacement of these molecules and atoms through the gravitational distortion of local space. "How can this be called a machine?" Fang Rong still couldn't help but express her opinion, although her voice was very soft.

"Alright, it's your turn." After speaking, Fang Rong opened her eyes, sat up from her work lounger, and set her eyes on Susan.

Susan nodded, sat down in the work recliner, lay down, closed her eyes, and began to send commands to the system. Everything was so natural, but Fang Rong did not cut back to the scene of the press conference, but shared Susan's instructions. She is too familiar with their philosophy, although they are all Triple H, although they are all medical systems, although they are all willing to dedicate themselves to the health of mankind, but they are just not at ease.

The manipulator's tentacles approached a fertilized egg that had just been implanted. Previous genetic scans of this egg showed that there was a mutation in MU1662840 one gene, which means that if the egg develops into a whole person, he is 20 times more likely to develop oral cancer than a normal person. In response to this mutation, Fang Rong and Susan formulated a surgical plan that directly uses a molecular robotic arm to implant a normal genetic code, and then uses this piece of genetic code as a backup, hanging it in the original position. This plan seemed to Fang Rong to be the safest method, but for this plan, they did not agree two minutes before the operation, until the last second of the operation implementation window.

Now the mechanical contacts have moved precisely to the MU1662840 position of the DNA, Fang Rong watched the data full of eyes quickly pass in front of him, and just after a hesitation, the tentacles cleanly penetrated into the mutated base pairs.

β€œStop!” Fang Rong couldn't wait any longer, she gave the order to stop, but it was still a little late, the tentacle had already clamped, one of the base fragments, and then stopped.

"Why stop?!" Susan opened her eyes very emotionally and called out at Fang Rong.

"What about the normal base pairs you prepared?" Fang Rong's eyebrows were erect, and her nose was almost crooked.

"Am I not adjusting?" Susan replied confidently, "Am I an expert in genetics?" ”

Susan is indeed an expert, and she is the only genetic pathologist and clinical experience member of Shu's team. She used many of her original experimental methods in genetic pathology to quickly match and map all the data collected from various laboratories in the work of BioTupu perfecting.

"But after you adjust it like this, the original sequence is gone, don't you know?" Fang Rong didn't give this expert any face, and directly grabbed the conversation, "We have reached a consensus just now that we need to keep this mutated gene, have you forgotten?" ”

"I don't understand why you're so insistent on keeping this mutated gene." Susan also asked mercilessly, "Isn't it just that we have spent so much energy analyzing the genetic sequences of all living things so that we can pass on the healthiest people from generation to generation?" Three hundred years, do you know how many people have fought for it? ”

"Uh......", Fang Rong choked, "I won't waste so much time with you, I'll just ask you, do you keep this genetic sequence?" ”

"I don't think it's necessary. And there will be hidden dangers. Are you still not a doctor? Susan didn't show weakness, "Fang Rong, have you forgotten the battle of Asclepius?" ”

"Of course not, on the contrary, I follow the guidance of the god of medicine!" Fang Rong responded rhetorically, "That's why I must keep this mutated gene sequence." ”

"You ......" Susan was about to continue her argument when the system's alarm alerted them both in the visual center: "Cell division is normal." ”

The two glanced at each other, with resentment, self-blame, and tacit understanding.

Once the implanted egg begins to divide, it becomes extremely difficult to directly change the gene directly from the physical level, and it is almost impossible for the surgery to keep up with the exponential rate of cell division, so it must be done as soon as possible while the base is still small.

However, what needs to be completed now is not the repair or insertion of base pairs on the gene sequence, but the first need to repair the unstable hydrogen bonds between base pairs caused by the insertion of base pairs by the contact of the manipulator.

"It's just the beginning of cell division, and you and I will take out the excess hydrogen atoms first." Fang Rong urgently arranged this next operation. And Susan didn't have any extra nonsense, just said "um" and went their separate ways.

The mother's body temperature is very comfortable for the newly implanted egg, and the little life is growing hard, and every time it splits, it increases exponentially, but this speed makes Fang Rong and Susan more and more overwhelmed. The beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads grew bigger and bigger, running down their bangs across their cheeks and directly wetting their collars. And it seemed that even breathing was getting more and more rapid, and the chests of the two of them rose and fell rapidly, accompanied by the heaviness of the snort, and it seemed that it was about to turn into a disaster.

There is no way for the two to physically control this fragment of the embryo's genes.

"It seems that we have no choice but to choose biolegalization." The two of them thought in unison, but they had no time to communicate, they had already used the fastest method they could output to locate the cells and find the gene fragments.

How can I stop and change the surgical plan? Both of them were lost in thought in their flying work.
