NO.349 SOMATIC CELL TRANSPLANT REPROGRAMMING

There is a saying on the Internet that says well, life is like a rape, if there is no way to resist, then enjoy it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Baron Teslak is in such a state of mind now, and he has been completely frightened by Zhang Heng's forces. Every time he faced Zhang Heng, he had a deep sense of powerlessness, he nodded bitterly, and said, "Your Excellency Zhang Heng, all the eyes and ears of the hydra are at your disposal, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I need the cells of the Avengers, Thor and other players with superpowers." Zhang Heng smiled slightly, "I think this is not difficult for Hydra." ”

"Indeed." Baron Teslak nodded, "With our Hydra chess pieces in S.H.I.E.L.D., all you need to do is be able to get their hair and oily skins if you want to get their body cells. But ......"

"But what?" Zhang Heng glanced at Baron Teslak lightly, and suddenly, Baron Teslak had a feeling of chilling all over his body, and he reluctantly laughed, "I know what you want to do, don't you just want to try cloning?" But let me tell you that your idea will not be realized. ”

"Why?" Zhang Heng's expression was neither sad nor joyful, he was not angry because of Baron Teslak's rebuttal, nor was he depressed about gains and losses, only a calm, so that Baron Teslak could not grasp Zhang Heng's character.

"I guess you know how to create a clone, right?" Baron Teslak worded, and when he saw Zhang Heng noncommittal, he coughed and continued, "You should understand that the so-called cloning is actually 'somatic cell nuclear transfer reprogramming', and it is not difficult for you to obtain the somatic cells of those superheroes, but don't you forget, why have Thor, Hulk, and Captain America Steve not been 'copied' by Captain America?" ”

"You mean, it's going to be difficult to replicate them?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"No matter how difficult it is, it's simply not a human project that can be done at all." Baron Teslak smiled bitterly, "To put it simply, as early as the eighties and nineties of the last century, the appearance of Dolly the cloned sheep can be said to have ignited the fire of imagination of clones, but what happened after that you also know that unlike those lower lifeforms, the level of primate life forms is higher, and because of this, it is difficult for the somatic nucleus of primate life to be transformed into an egg nucleus, and reprogramming cannot be carried out at all." ”

The so-called 'somatic cell transplant reprogramming' involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell into an egg cell without a nucleus, and the cytoplasm of the egg cell allows the nucleus of the somatic cell to transform its own mode of operation, just as a computer program has been rewritten.

There used to be a fable that there was an ancient country where there was a spring called the "Wild Spring", and anyone who drank a sip of the wild spring water would become crazy. All the subjects of the country drank the water of the wild spring and fell into a state of madness. The king was the only one who remained awake and did not drink the water, so he did not go mad with it. As a result, the madmen of the whole country felt that the king had a mental problem, so they tied the king up and tried to cure his madness, and in the end, the king could not stand the torture of those treatments, so he could only drink the water of the wild spring and go mad with the people.

This principle can be vividly reflected in the reprogramming, the nucleus is like a king, and the organelle is like a subject, first, the nucleus of an egg cell is taken, and then the nucleus of the somatic cell of the target you want to clone is transplanted into this egg cell. The egg cell is then treated with electricity and chemicals to give the egg the illusion that it has become a fertilized egg.

As a result, organelles have asked the nucleus to become an egg cell, and the nucleus, which is a somatic cell, has to really turn itself into the nucleus of an egg cell in order to save its life after seeing the angry subject, and this is what 'somatic cell transplant reprogramming' is all about.

"Isn't caffeine the solution to this problem?" Zhang Heng recalled the cloning process in his mind, and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"I know, you're talking about protein phosphatase inhibitors." Baron Teslak nodded, "But you should understand that the higher the level of life forms, the more difficult it is to be cloned, this is the eternal and unchanging rule of the world, and the superheroes of Hulk and Thor, their life forms are not only one level higher than humans?" ”

"Baron Teslak is right, Your Excellency, Commander." Zola also appeared from the screen, "Even with my ability, I can't clone these superheroes." ”

"I see." Zhang Heng sighed at this time, but he said undoubtedly, "But science is always advancing on failure, even if it really can't be cloned, will we give up completely?" ”

"Since you insist, then do as you wish." Baron Teslak then said, "I'm going to issue an order for the undercover agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to take advantage of the opportunity to get the DNA of those people, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to clone each other's abilities." ”

"Of course." Zhang Heng nodded, turned around and walked outside, until he left the room completely, his last voice came.

"Next, it's up to you."

……

After walking out of the conference room of the Hydra headquarters, the corners of Zhang Heng's mouth slowly provoked a smile, he lightly clasped his ears, and seemed to say to himself, "Yuehua No. 2, is all this true that Dr. Zora just said?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Inside the ear, a microchip attached to the ear canal emitted Yuehua's voice, "I monitor all of Dr. Zola's thoughts, and I can detect that he is not lying. ”

"That's good." Zhang Heng nodded, walked to the end of the metal passage, and suddenly turned a corner, walking deeper into the Hydra headquarters.

It wasn't until he came to a large door that Zhang Heng slowly stopped, this gate was newly erected, it looked bright as new, and under the bright light, it exuded a strange metallic luster.

"Identification, Commander, welcome back." On the door, a sound came from an electronic screen, and in the next second, in the rumbling sound of friction, the door slowly opened.

When he saw the scene inside the gate, Zhang Heng couldn't help but whistle, this is a huge square, a tunnel boring machine is constantly working in it, and the synthetics who come and go act as workers on the construction site, and the whole square is busy with wind and fire, looking hot.

"Regarding the new underground base project under construction, the speed of construction is not a problem, the only limitation is the source of materials, even the Hydra organization, it is difficult to get enough materials in a short period of time." The voice in his ear said again.

"It's okay, it's important to hide." Zhang Heng nodded, but he couldn't help frowning slightly, "I have a faint hunch that if I am exposed in this world, I am afraid that I will fall into some kind of great crisis......" (To be continued. )
