Chapter 155: Genetic Modification Technologies

Fist-sized pieces of flesh wriggling in special containers the thickness of thighs.

The green unknown liquid seems to be some kind of life essence, giving it life again, like an egg sac pregnant with new life, which makes people feel extremely weird.

At first glance, Meng Lei only felt a little familiar with this thing, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The moment the hint of the gold finger appeared, he was shocked.

This strange mass of flesh and blood actually belongs to the same kind of thing as the unknown genetic material he once decomposed from the aberrant horned snake!

It's just that the size of the mass of flesh and blood in front of him is several times larger than the previous genetic material.

The morphology has also undergone quite a dramatic change, and it is more rounded and complete in comparison, and it is full of activity.

It's no wonder that Meng Lei only felt familiar, but didn't recognize it immediately.

Really, judging by the appearance alone, it is difficult to confuse the two.

In addition, the tips given by Goldfinger this time have also changed significantly from before.

It's become more detailed, it's more unbelievable.

(Unknown genetic material:

Some kind of genetic material extracted from alien creatures, of unknown origin.

Under normal circumstances, special instrumental analysis and refinement are required to determine the properties of the genetic material and the biological category to which it belongs.

Different types of genetic material have different genetic modification properties.

Injecting the human body with a gene editor can quickly change the genetic structure of the human being, so that it has certain special abilities.

For example, underwater breathing, super pressure resistance, super recovery, skin parasite immunity, etc......

This biomodification technology has a long history, and the alien pioneers have conducted a large number of experiments in the leveling area, but later had to be forced to stop due to various changes.

All data on such experiments has been sealed in an unknown place at the end of the shallow waterway.

However, the alliance has never given up the exploration and research of this technology.

Note!

Since this technology has not yet been perfected, the stability of gene refining cannot be guaranteed, and the integrity of the gene refined each time will be greatly different.

Genetic modification with low genetic integrity will not only not acquire special abilities, but will also cause some unknown mutation due to genetic defects, causing unpredictable consequences to the human body!

In the absence of perfect genetic material, it is recommended not to be easily biomodified.

If you don't want to become a monster that is not human, but not ghost...... )

When he saw this, Meng Lei had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

This is a long report that is more complete and comprehensive than when you first came into contact with this mysterious substance.

In particular, in this introduction, the method of use is also mentioned, which has to be said to be a great progress.

At the same time, this also made Meng Lei feel extremely surprised, it was unbelievable!

"Genetic modification?! Bioengineering? Mutants?! ”

He was moved in his heart, he never thought that the scientific and technological level of the alliance had developed to such an extent, and he had really developed genetic modification technology!

Although, he knew that the Coalition had been aggressively acquiring unknown genetic material for use in certain aspects of research.

And this research is indeed related to genetic engineering.

After all, Goldfinger had mentioned it when it first came into contact with this unknown genetic material.

It is said that a research base in the leveling area once combined with a special genetic material to successfully give humans the ability to breathe underwater.

However, with the breach in the shipping lane, the research base has long since lost contact with the Alliance, and all relevant data has been lost.

Meng Lei originally thought that under the premise of losing relevant research data, the alliance should not be able to master the technology so quickly.

Which Cheng thought, this technology was finally tinkered with by the alliance.

It even seems that a lot of research has been made!

Without the hint of the golden finger, Meng Lei really couldn't believe that he would be able to encounter a scientific and technological product of this level at this stage.

Moving his gaze downward, Meng Lei continued to look down.

The next paragraph of text introduction shocked him even more, and it was incredible.

(Note: The genetic material is the Moluoke gene, which is 20% complete, and there are great genetic defects!)

By refining and injecting into the human body, the body's resistance to physical damage can be slightly improved, and it is difficult for ordinary sharp weapons to cause redamage.

However, due to the incomplete genes of the substance, there is a ninety percent chance of mutation after injection!

Please use with caution! )

"What's going on? Goldfinger actually gave the analysis results directly?! ”

Meng Lei was stunned, and felt extremely shocked for a while.

At the beginning of the whole paragraph, it was mentioned that unknown genetic material needs to be analyzed and refined by special instruments to determine the properties of the substance.

But he obviously didn't make any movements, and at the very end of the prompt, Goldfinger gave a detailed data analysis.

Not only the attributes and biological sources of the genetic material are listed, but even the genetic integrity is given specific data.

Meng Lei clearly remembered that the last time he obtained the gene of the aberrant horned snake, Goldfinger did not provide this content at all.

The information given is unclear and of little practical value.

But now, such a noticeable change has taken place!

"Could it be that Goldfinger has been upgraded? Or is it that with the progress of exploration and the change of the situation, Goldfinger is also constantly changing? ”

Meng Lei was puzzled and completely confused about the situation.

At this time, Simon watched him for a long time and did not move, so he gently pushed him.

"Captain, Captain?!"

Meng Lei finally came back to his senses and quietly put away his emotions.

He put the doubts in his heart for the time being, then turned his head to look at Gina on the side, and asked knowingly:

"Dr. Gina, do you recognize this thing? How come I've never seen one? ”

Gina glanced at him meaningfully, her delicate face showed a sly smile, and then she stepped forward and glanced down at the special container that had been opened, and then her willow eyebrows moved slightly, and she said in a slightly surprised voice:

"Unknown genetic material?! How can there be such a thing here? ”

Hearing this, Simon and Hans also showed incredulous expressions and exclaimed:

"This thing is unknown genetic material?!"

"How is this possible, isn't the genetic material decomposed from the sea monster's body all very small pieces, how can this one be so big?!"

Gina glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and then said in popular science:

"The size of the genetic material is determined according to the size of the organism, and the sea monsters you usually encounter when you go to sea are just small ones, no matter how big the body is, it is difficult to exceed five meters, how big can the decomposed genetic material be? It's so rare and weird! ”

Meng Lei also heard such a statement for the first time.

However, he has no doubt about the truth of Gina's words, because the facts have already proved it well.

The distorted horned snake that he killed last time was about ten meters in size, and the decomposed genetic material was less than the size of a ping-pong ball.

But the genetic material in front of him is from a large sea monster like Moluok.

No wonder this genetic material is bigger than a fist, not only Meng Lei didn't recognize it, but even Simon and Hans looked away, and for a while they couldn't figure out what this thing was.

"Oh my God! In this case, isn't the source of this genetic material a creature of the level of Morok and Hammerhead?! ”

"The genetic material of a small sea monster can be exchanged for dozens of prestige points in the alliance, and the value of genetic material of this level is unimaginable!"

The two of them were extremely shocked, and their hearts were shocked.

However, this kind of thing didn't have much attraction for Meng Lei.

According to previous understanding, the unknown genetic material can only be exchanged for prestige points within the alliance system, but not for money.

His current reputation is already respectful, and there is no room for higher improvement.

So this thing has almost no value in his hands.

The only thing that interests him is this special biological gene, which can be refined to transform the human body into a biochemical warrior.

Of course, because this technology has not been perfected, there are still huge drawbacks.

He didn't dare to try it easily, and if he didn't do it, he would turn himself into a monster.

"Strange, how could this stuff be here? There's even a companion genetic research station! Could it be that the alliance has perfected this technology and is ready to popularize it? ”

At this time, Gina walked to the corner of the warehouse, in front of the half-human-high precision instrument, and kept looking up and down.

Meng Lei heard that there was something in her words, and seemed to have a deep understanding of the genetic technology that the alliance had been researching.

This discovery surprised Meng Lei.

There is no doubt that research like this is necessarily classified within the Alliance, and is not accessible to the general public.

This can be seen from the reaction of Simon and Hans.

But how did Gina know?

Meng Lei frowned, looked at Gina with a puzzled face, and asked sideways:

"Dr. Gina, you seem to know a lot about these things, can you tell us more about them?"

Faced with Meng Lei's question, Gina did not refuse, and smiled very calmly:

"Dear little captain, I'm a medical doctor with an education at the First Sea Alliance Medical University, so of course I know something about these biotechnologies."

After a pause, Gina continued while carefully examining the two devices:

"These research projects are not a secret in school, and sometimes we even participate in some experiments.

As far as I know, the consortium has always invested heavily in the field of genetic modification, but has never been able to achieve significant results.

One of the biggest problems is that the alliance currently has no means to ensure the integrity of the genes in the refining process, nor can it determine the specific integrity data of the genes extracted after refining.

The technology can only be adjusted by judging whether the modified gene is complete or not through the injection response of the target.

It can be said that every experiment is a gamble.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to gain some special abilities that are far beyond the average person, while if you're unlucky, you'll be able to consider yourself unlucky and become a monster with a genetic defect.

It is precisely for this reason that the alliance has created a large number of mutant monsters, all of which have been locked up in the heavily guarded biological research institute and have never been made public.

At least until I left the first sea, there wasn't much of a breakthrough in this technology. ”

Speaking of this, Gina showed a curious look and said to herself:

"I don't know if there has been progress now, each of these high-end devices is very valuable, and under normal circumstances, it is rarely in circulation, and now it is actually here, and it is equipped with a large amount of genetic material, which is really a little strange."

Gina's words surprised several people present.

Simon and Hans, in particular, knew and had been exposed to the existence of such a thing as unknown genetic material, but they never knew exactly what the Alliance was doing with it.

Suddenly learned that the alliance was actually conducting genetic experiments behind the scenes, and a large number of monsters were created as a result.

The two of them suddenly felt that their minds had been greatly impacted, and their perception of the alliance had been subverted.

But Meng Lei didn't have that many opinions, and he didn't care what the alliance looked like.

At this moment, he discovered an extremely important piece of information from Gina's introduction, which triggered deep thought.

Gina said that the biggest problem encountered by the alliance in the field of genes is that there is no means to obtain the integrity data of the refined genetic material, and every experiment is like opening a blind box, completely relying on gambling!

But my golden finger doesn't even need to refine the genetic material, and I can directly see the genetic integrity information.

Does that mean that there is a problem with the research direction of the alliance itself?

Genetic integrity may have nothing to do with the refining process at all, and depends entirely on the genetic material itself that is broken down from the alien organism.

The higher the genetic integrity of the genetic material itself, the greater the chance of successful genetic modification.

On the contrary, even if there is not the slightest error in the refining process, the refined genes will never be perfect, and genetic modification will naturally fail! ”

After pondering for a long time, Meng Lei vaguely raised his doubts, but did not expose the existence of the golden finger.

Gina shook her head and chuckled when she heard this, and said in an affirmative tone:

"My dear little captain, your thinking is really quite divergent!

However, the questions you can think of, the scientific researchers of the alliance will naturally not miss them.

In fact, this hypothesis has long been proposed, arguing that the core of the problem lies in the genetic material itself, and has little to do with the instrument.

However, the Coalition also does not have any means to determine the integrity of the genetic material itself.

Therefore, this hypothesis cannot be confirmed at all, and no one can be sure whether the genetic material decomposed from the living organism is genetically complete.

If this problem can be solved, then genetic modification technology will immediately make a breakthrough!

At that time, building a superhuman army on this basis will no longer be delusional! ”
