Chapter 419: Four-Dimensional Clone

The reason why many evolutionaries are unknown and unrenowned, is not because they are not strong, and some of them have weak abilities and neglect to practice, while more are unlucky and fall in the middle of the process.

For example, in one of the group of culture cabins that Luo Yuan paid special attention to, the embryo inside was transplanted by Luo Yuan with a special gene, which came from an evolutionary who died in the Great Purge, if he could survive until now, even if his strength did not improve, he would be a super evolutionary.

According to the records, this evolutionary is extremely powerful, almost like Hercules, he can lift a heavy tank weighing forty or fifty tons and carry out throwing attacks, or he can easily jump hundreds of meters high.

This kind of power is simply incredible, even Luo Yuan's seventeen points of strength can only lift more than a ton, with a small and medium-sized mammal like a human being, lifting two or three hundred times its own body weight, among living things, only some insects can do it.

In the end, there is no record of how he died, but from the few words on the file, it is estimated that the military also paid a lot of price.

But though the man was dead, his body was preserved.

The structure of his body is the same as that of ordinary people, although the muscles are dense and compact and extremely strong, but the outside is not more developed than ordinary people, and the special thing about his body is the cells, to be precise, the mitochondria inside the cells.

Luo Yuan found that his mitochondria had completely departed from the category of conventional organisms, not only with a complex internal structure, but also with several mysterious enzymes inside, which allowed him to carry out a certain cold fusion reaction.

When water molecules enter the mitochondria of other cells, they will be broken down into an ionic state, and a small part of H atoms are fused into elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, which are converted into various amino acids needed by the body along with the remaining oxygen and hydrogen, and the energy produced by fusion is supplied to the daily needs of the human body.

Although this fusion reaction is quite slow, and each mitochondria only has one or two hydrogen atoms per second before it is converted into nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and other elements, even if the total number of 50 trillion cells in the human body, the hydrogen element that is fused is only about one ten-thousandth of a gram.

However, this kind of cold fusion is deeper and more efficient than the fusion of hydrogen bomb explosions, and the energy produced by only one ten-thousandth gram of hydrogen is completely equivalent to the combustion value of more than several tons of standard coal, which is equivalent to seven or eight thousand times the energy required by ordinary people, and it is also twenty or thirty times that of Luo Yuan.

At the same time, the presence of this mitochondria also means that his need for food has been reduced to the limit, and he only needs to replenish some water and conventional elements to meet the needs of survival, and he no longer needs to breathe at all.

This is a natural space creature, when Luo Yuan saw this kind of cell for the first time, he had a feeling of being hit by surprise, once such mitochondria appeared in his body, his strength would increase geometrically, even if the light strength and physical strength were enough to increase dozens of times.

…………

At this time, Professor Guan trotted all the way over, followed by several experimental assistants.

"Minister Luo, there is bad news, all the egg cells from group A1 to group A10000 have died." He ran to Luo Yuan and said in a panic, he knew that these were the nutrition cabins that Luo Yuan valued, but he didn't expect that none of them would survive.

"What's going on? These embryos haven't started to divide yet, how can this happen? Luo Yuan said in a deep voice, this is an unprecedented thing, generally speaking, as long as there is still a viable embryo, there will be no situation that can not divide at all, in previous experiments, no matter how the gene changes, the first division can always proceed normally, and the embryo dies, often in the stage when life is about to be formed.

He didn't suspect that the lab assistants had made a mistake in their collective operation, because the likelihood was so low that it was almost negligible.

After all, the batch of laboratory cloning has been more than once or twice, and now the laboratory cloning technology is very mature, and the various steps of cloning have been specially compiled into manuals, and they are operated step by step, which is completely the same as the assembly line, even if it is an ordinary worker, after training, they can also operate proficiently, not to mention that the people who do it here are highly educated and experienced experimental assistants

"According to the operation records, the egg cell transplantation is active, the nutrient solution content is normal, and various hormones are added according to the regulations, but they are unable to divide." Professor Guan said as he walked.

"What do you think?" Luo Yuan asked.

"Ruling out any other possibility, I suspect that it is the chromosome itself that is the cause of the delay in dividing." Professor Guan glanced at Luo Yuan, hesitated for a moment and said.

The genes of all the embryos here have been edited by Luo Yuan himself, and since the operation is no problem, it is naturally a problem with editing.

Although with the help of Luo Yuan's large-scale genetic engineering, the reconstruction area's understanding of genes has improved by leaps and bounds, but the genetic modification methods are still in place without the slightest progress, as if they are in a treasure mountain, but they have no excavation tools to observe and know how to modify, but they are completely unable to directly carry out gene editing like Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan didn't care about Professor Guan's bluntness, his steps paused, thought for a while, and continued to walk forward: "Let's take a look first." ”

Each group had ten culture chambers, and all of them died from group A1 to group A10,000, which meant that the genetic modification of a whole 100,000 embryos failed.

Egg cells are the largest cells in the human body, and this kind of egg cell enucleation and transplantation of recipient cells is the most conventional cloning method.

However, even the largest cell in the human body is only 0.1 millimeter, that is, the thickness of a hair, suspended in the nutrient solution, and ordinary people cannot see it at all without the help of instruments, when this does not include Luo Yuan.

He took a closer look, the cells were broken and shriveled, the cytoplasm had flowed out in large quantities, and it was obviously dead, and there was no need to look at the rest.

Because he already sensed that all the embryos in this area had died completely.

Every cell here bears the imprint of Luo Yuan's own will, and has a faint connection with him, even if it is separated from the body, it seems to be a part of the body, as if it is not separated at all, and at this time, the connection in this area has all disappeared.

"Aside from the problems here, the other embryonic development is okay?" Luo Yuan was not in a hurry to probe with his will, and turned his head to Professor Guan and asked.

"There is no problem, the fastest developing one has already started the tenth round of division, and the slowest has also undergone the first round of division."

Luo Yuan already had some guesses in his heart.

From the A1 group to the A10000 group culture cabin, some embryos have edited one ability gene, some have two or three types, and the most A10000 group has edited twelve species, but no matter how many genes are transferred, there is one thing in common in this area, that is, Xu Zhiqiang's ability genes are edited.

Xu Zhiqiang is the closest to the four-dimensional life, and his genes naturally contain the secrets of the four-dimensional, which can be seen from the numbering order at the beginning of these A, Luo Yuan attaches great importance to this gene.

It's a pity that the secrets of the four dimensions are not so easy to detect, Xu Zhiqiang's genes don't seem to be fundamentally different from ordinary evolutionaries, and the editing is quite smooth, but the result is not like that at all.

All the embryos that edited Xu Zhiqiang's genes died one by one and could not divide at all. Luo Yuan vaguely guessed that he might have missed something during gene editing.

"Four dimensions!"

His heart suddenly moved, it could be that Xu Zhiqiang's gene was not in this space, and it was impossible to observe it in three dimensions.

The more he thought about it, the more possible it became, the genes of four-dimensional life could not still be the same as three-dimensional, this is an all-round ascension, even if Xu Zhiqiang is not a real four-dimensional life, just like him, only a part of the four-dimensional, and the gene should also be manifested.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuan said to Professor Guan: "Clean up all these dead embryos, and then ask someone to clone the cells labeled S36778 separately, the number of cloned is one hundred, and send a sample to my office." ”

The number S36778 is Xu Zhiqiang's gene, and he wants to see if this kind of cell can be cloned.

"Okay!" Professor Guan hurriedly said.

After speaking, Luo Yuan hurriedly walked to the office, closed the door, untied the straps, turned on the four-dimensional, and then looked inward with his will.

Luo Yuan found that dark energy abounded in the four-dimensional perspective, and the whole world seemed to be floating in this ocean of energy, and even the dark energy was flowing slowly in the body.

These energies seem illusory, and they may pass through them easily*, leaving no trace.

Luo Yuan's will gently plucked, and these energies also flew with it, it seemed that it could be manipulated by the will, but Luo Yuan didn't know how to use it, he fluctuated a little slightly, and then stopped trying.

He could feel that these energies seemed to be quiet and harmless, like smooth flowing water, but they faintly gave him a sense of palpitations, if he tried it indiscriminately, God knows what kind of catastrophic consequences would happen, not to mention, it was still being tested in the body.

He turned his attention away from the dark energies and quickly selected a body cell.

The next moment, the cell expanded in his eyes, and then his mind broke through the nucleus and entered the chromosome.

Regarding the several chromosomes on which the brain's genes are distributed, Luo Yuan searched one by one, but all the chromosomes were searched one by one, and he did not see any trace of the four-dimensional transformation of his own genes.

Luo Yuan's brows were slightly locked, and he was puzzled: "Could it be that I guessed wrong." ”

He couldn't figure it out, and now he looked at Xu Zhiqiang's cells, hoping that he guessed wrong.

didn't let Luo Yuan wait long, Xu Zhiqiang's cell sample was delivered, and when the assistant left the office with a look of awe, he gently closed the door, and then he opened the coverslip and immediately probed.

However, in Xu Zhiqiang's cells, in a pair of chromosomes that have been confirmed to be the source of ability, he quickly found traces of four-dimensionality, which is a four-dimensional genome and three-dimensional genes connected to form a Klein flask, from a three-dimensional perspective, the four-dimensional genome is not visible at all, but from a four-dimensional perspective, they are a whole, once the four-dimensional gene is removed, the entire genome cannot be expressed.

Luo Yuan withdrew from the state of will, two different results, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Xu Zhiqiang's genes were not problematic, as he guessed, in line with the characteristics of four-dimensional creatures, but the problem was his genes.

Could it be that I only have brain cells, there has been a genetic mutation, and the other parts have not yet had time to appear and chain reactions. Or is it that his genes have not been upgraded at all, and only some brain cells have coincidentally entered the fourth dimension. ”

……

And on the fourth day, there was another piece of news that could not be said to be good or bad, Xu Zhiqiang's cell cloning failed, and all the embryos died naturally.
