Chapter 29 Synthetic Genes
"Where do you start?"
Coming to the basement with a notebook to record data, Chen Ze sat in front of the test bench and just turned on the computer, and couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
Although the creature of the vampire in Western legend perfectly met Chen Ze's requirements, it was not easy to create it.
Moreover, the creation of a transcendent race is just what Chen Ze thinks he thinks, in a real sense, his idea should only be regarded as a transformation.
With the knowledge and power that he could now wield as a mid-level wizard apprentice, it would be foolish to want to create something out of nothing, but fortunately, he still had a lot of knowledge about the biology of Earth in his head.
The two complement each other and should be sufficient to meet the needs.
"For a vampire to have a humanoid appearance, it had to use human genes as a base template. ”
Opening the notepad on the computer, Chen Ze's ten fingers flew, and a string of Chinese characters quickly appeared on the computer screen.
"And humans don't have the habit of sucking blood, so they have to carry a biological gene fragment that is born with the habit of sucking blood......"
Chen Ze thought for a moment, and then wrote, "As far as I know, there is a large vampire bat in south-central America, and I can completely apply the genetic fragments of this bat that feed on blood to the human genetic template. ”
"But what about extraordinary abilities......" Chen Ze propped his forehead and frowned in thought.
After a long time, Chen Zecai's eyes widened slightly, put down the arm supporting his forehead, and whispered to himself: "By the way, I can directly use my own genes as the original gene template." ”
"My genes have already been strengthened twice when I move on to the junior apprentice and intermediate apprentice promotions. ”
"As long as my genetic template is equipped with the genetic fragments of this bat's blood-sucking habit, the newborn creatures will naturally have all aspects of the physical fitness of the Great Knight as soon as they enter adulthood, and I will integrate the genetic fragments of bats' perception of sound waves into the original template, then ......"
"This new creature naturally has the supernatural ability to perceive sound waves, but it's ......"
"Can such a creature be considered transcendent?"
"It's not really a transcendent creature, but it's undoubtedly the easiest and most straightforward way to experiment. ”
Without thinking too much about it, Chen Ze immediately stood up and said, "And it doesn't matter if he is an extraordinary creature or not, as long as it can meet my needs, it is enough." ”
............
On the same day, Chen Ze asked Marcuri to go to the middle of the Americas to find the locals to buy a few female vampire bats, and then Chen Ze concentrated on another thing-
Start building a basic life inscription.
The Life Inscription, like the Elemental Inscription, is a sequence of lower inscriptions that can be mastered in the wizard's apprenticeship stage, along with the Death Inscription and the Space Inscription.
However, among the four inscription sequences, the spatial inscription is slightly higher, and it can only be barely mastered by reaching a high-level wizard apprentice, and it can only be mastered by some of the most superficial surfaces.
And Chen Ze's purpose in constructing the basic life inscription is very direct, and it can be said that it is closely related to the transformation of the legendary creature of vampires.
After synthesizing his own genes and those of vampire bats into a new genetic template, a biological embryo that needs to be sent into the mother's body for adequate development is bound to be formed.
In order for the newly generated creatures to have the appearance of humans, Chen Ze's own human genes must occupy a dominant position.
But in this way, the time for the embryo to develop and grow in the mother's body will be extended to the growth cycle of the human baby, that is, nine to ten months, and ......
It also takes more than ten years of development for the embryo to grow out of the mother's body before it can reach menopause.
Chen Ze couldn't wait for such a long time, but ......
He couldn't change the speed of time, but he could do something similar in another way, and that was ......
An inscription of life that he is constructing.
The special time of this basic life inscription is that it can affect the growth and development cycle of organisms, not only normal development, but also maternal and fetal development can use the life energy generated by it to accelerate cell decay.
In this way, the growth and development cycle of new organisms will be greatly shortened, and it can basically be within the time range that Chen Ze can bear.
............
A few days later......
Chen Ze got several cages containing vampire bats from Marcuri, who had successfully returned.
The size of this bat is about the size of a newborn Chinese dog, and the fully unfurled wings are about one meter four or five long.
And Chen Ze estimated that it would take about half a month for him to complete the basic life inscription, but this did not prevent him from cultivating embryos with synthetic genes.
But before that, Chen Ze had to prepare another thing in advance, that is, the mother of embryonic development.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ze felt that it was impossible for him to let the only woman in the ranch, that is, the girl among the two orphans left by Chen Ze before, be the mother.
Of course, he couldn't just grab an adult woman over.
This seems to be a bit against humanity and ethics, and it also completely violates Chen Ze's three views, which he is unwilling to do anyway.
Therefore, Chen Ze had no choice but to use the existing materials to build an embryonic nutrition cabin similar to the mother's child ~ uterine environment in addition to constructing the life inscription.
The tempered glass is used as the outer isolation area, the cow's sub ~ palace is used as the inner layer, the temperature of the inner layer is adjusted by the electric heating element, and then the synthetic nutrient solution is used as the amniotic fluid.
After everything was ready, when Chen Ze successfully created the embryo nutrition cabin, the basic life inscription had just been built.
After testing whether the lower nutrition chamber could be safely activated, Chen Ze officially began the cultivation of embryos.
Next...... Chen Ze immediately put the refrigerated biological embryos into the nutrition cabin, and slowly injected an appropriate amount of life energy from less to more through the life inscription.
Day 1......
A tiny life core emerges from the embryo.
Day 2......
The three germ layers are formed, and the innermost layer is like a transparent film, and the original pipe is presented in the perspective of Chen Ze's spiritual power.
Day 3......
The tri-germ layer began to grow and develop rapidly.
Day 4......
The trigerm layer is still in the process of development, and the speed has not slowed down.
Until the seventh day......
"It worked!"
Chen Ze ran over to take a look and found that the embryo had finally begun to take shape, the primitive ducts in the inner layer of the three germ layers had developed into lungs, liver, thyroid and pancreas, the middle layer formed bones, hearts and muscles, etc., and the outermost layers of skin and sweat glands had all been basically developed.
For a period of time, Chen Ze stayed in the basement, and every six hours, he would take time to check the progress to prevent any surprises.
But on the fifteenth day......
When the embryos in the nutrition cabin were basically developed and they could see the appearance of a normal baby, an accident that was not expected by Chen Ze at all still happened.
