Chapter 37: Genetic Lock-in

Wu Xinghua looked at the data reflected by the instrument carefully, and frowned. He had never thought of Luo Tian www.biquge.info's situation at all, let alone seen it. The machine where Luo Tian is lying is the highest scientific and technological crystallization of the Republic in the field of biochemistry, a nanoscale molecular printing instrument. What Luo Tian is experiencing now is only the nano scans before molecular printing, which are enough to detect his physical condition.

Wu Xinghua actually has some selfish intentions, as long as Luo Tian completes the test, this nanomolecular printer will be able to record all Luo Tian's information from the genetic level with the support of the base quantum computer. It can be said that as long as he is willing to spend energy, Wu Xinghua can reprint a complete Luo Tian.

This can't be regarded as malicious, it's just a scientist's fanatical pursuit of science, and he has no intention of harming Luo Tian, so he is not perceived by Luo Tian. Luo Tian's physical condition was completely beyond Wu Xinghua's expectations, and his little caution came to naught.

First of all, the blood drawn from Luo Tian's body, the moment he left Luo Tian's body, the chromosomes of all the cells in the blood disintegrated and turned into the most basic protein. There is no way to obtain genetic information about chromosomes.

The focus is on the scan of Luo Tian's whole body, macroscopically speaking, all the muscle cells in Luo Tian's body are in a state of severe nutritional deficiency. More than 70 percent of skeletal muscle cells have atrophied, the heart muscle and smooth muscle are temporarily in a state of equilibrium, and other organs in the body are in a sub-healthy state.

Luo Tian's brain cell activity is abnormally high, but the infrared display of brain temperature is low. In general, normally speaking, Luo Tian only suffers from severe muscle atrophy. As long as Luo Tian strengthens nutritional supplementation and combines drug treatment, he will recover quickly.

But the situation is not so simple at all, when monitoring the energy microcirculation in Luo Tian's body, Wu Xinghua found that all the energy in Luo Tian's body was concentrated in the brain. If the cause is not found, the nutritional deficiency in Luo Tian's body will not be substantially improved.

What really troubled Wu Xinghua was the monitoring of the genes in Luo Tian's body, and the nano waves that did not penetrate anything could not detect the status of the chromosomes in Luo Tian's cells at all. It was as if there was a layer of energy that isolated all detection methods, and it was impossible to read the chromosome information in Luo Tian's body, let alone the genes.

"Comrade Xiao Luo, you may have to be tested for some dangers next. Of course, I'll do my best to keep you safe. "If you agree, press the button at hand." Seeing that Luo Tian pressed the button, Wu Xinghua began to conduct some destructive tests.

Inside the crystal coffin, a small robotic arm appeared on the side of Luo Tian's finger. The mechanical arm fixed the index finger of Luo Tian's right hand, and a ray invisible to the naked eye shot at one of the epidermal cell nuclei of Luo Tian's finger. This type of biovice interference test is extremely risky, and the destroyed cells are quickly destroyed by the body's immune system.

This ray is a commonly used induced mutation ray in biochemical human modification, which causes directional mutations in genes by irradiating chromosomes. After irradiation, the stability of the gene strand within the chromosome is weakened, which facilitates gene implantation, induction, and activation. Wu Xinghua just wanted to see if this kind of ray could break through the invisible blockade outside Luo Tian's chromosome.

The results were very disappointing to Wu Xinghua, the rays were completely absorbed by the chromosomes, but there was no change in the external morphology of the chromosomes. Weakened stability of the gene chain can lead to specific changes in chromosome morphology, and the absence of a change means that the gene chain has not changed at all.

Then, an extremely tiny probe sticks out of the tip of the robotic arm and pierces the cell, injecting a modified genetic virus. This gene virus is synthesized specifically to carry a specified gene fragment for the fusion of genes. Again, after completing the task, this virus will automatically disintegrate.

One of the biggest practical applications of this genetic virus is the genotoxin against star insects. The gene virus in the genotoxin will target the nerve cells of the star worm, and the gene fragments carried will cause the nerve cell chromosomes of the star worm to rupture, causing the death of nerve cells and paralysis of the nervous system.

As for why it is only developed to target the nerve cells of the star worm, the reason is very simple, the destruction of nerve cells is fast, and the dosage is small. This genetic virus is not Chinese cabbage, and the processing and synthesis are extremely expensive and complicated. In order to fight against the world-class threat of star insects, it can be produced at any cost.

To make a long story short, the gene virus that enters the epidermal cell of Luo Tian is sent directly into the nucleus by the probe. The virus's targeting mechanism operates and begins to attempt to attach to the transport gene fragment. The omnipotent gene virus failed this time, and the gene fragments it carried could not be transcribed to Luo Tian's gene chain at all, and were directly isolated by the gene chain.

This made Wu Xinghua feel helpless, Luo Tian's situation basically means that the existing genetic interference methods are basically ineffective for him. In this way, there is basically no talk of genetic decoding and genetic modification.

Wu Xinghua thought about it, and there was one last plan to try. Wu Xinghua left the console and went to the storage box next to him to take a nanobot potion. The agent was inserted into the molecular printer, and the molecular printer injected the nanorobot into Luo Tian's body through a probe.

Nanobots are very versatile. From basic nano-biochemical power armor to high-end nano-metal armament, nanobots are inseparable. Ordinary nanobots can use blood sugar in the human body as energy, and high-end ones can accept wireless electromagnetic energy transmission.

The injection that Wu Xinghua used for Luo Tian contains 20,000 high-end nanorobots that can perform tasks such as gene injection, tissue repair, waste decomposition, and energy transport. Once successful, it may be possible to modify the gene strand of Luotian. No matter how bad it is, it can help Luo Tian's body cells transport energy and alleviate his body atrophy.

Wu Xinghua really didn't expect Luo Tian's body to be so domineering. Nanobots are not supposed to cause a response from the human immune system, which was designed at the beginning of the design. However, the nanobots that entered Luo Tian's body activated Luo Tian's immune system, and the 20,000 nanobots were swallowed by macrophages in an instant.

Only then did Wu Xinghua notice another difference in Luo Tian's body, there were no bacteria. Yes, there are no bacteria, either harmful or beneficial. The number of symbiotic bacteria in the human body is ten times that of human cells, but the body of Keluo Tian is clean and abnormal, and there is no basic beneficial intestinal flora.

The nutrient solution that Luo Tian swallowed just now, the nutrient solution that entered his lungs through breathing, was all swallowed by the cells. Including Luo Tian's body surface cells, Luo Tian lay in the crystal coffin for less than ten minutes in total, and the liquid level of the nutrient solution in the crystal coffin dropped by five centimeters. It's just that the nutrient solution in the tank is replenished in a circular way, and Wu Xinghua didn't find anything abnormal.

"This," Wu Xinghua didn't know what to say at all. "Comrade Xiao Luo, you can come out." Wu Xinghua opened the hatch of the crystal coffin, and Luo Tian sat up. The nutrient solution in the vat was directly pumped away, and Luo Tian's body instantly regained its dryness.

Luo Tian was very curious about the vat of nutrient solution he had just soaked, he could actually breathe normally when he was lying in it, and he would not choke. What's more important is that Luo Tian was very comfortable lying in it just now, and he was never more comfortable, and the whole person seemed to be relaxed. Luo Tian even took a sip, sweet.

"What did I do?" Luo Tian climbed out of the crystal coffin, only to find that his body was actually dry, and he didn't feel like coming out of the liquid at all. "It's amazing", Luo Tian got dressed, and he felt that his worldview had really been refreshed again.
