Chapter 19 404 Institute

Somewhere in the ocean, a submarine began to sink rapidly.

In an instant, it sank to the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 2,000 meters.

"Turn on the Shimmer Sensor!"

On the submarine, a man in military uniform with a scar on his face stared at the monitor and said slowly.

As the detection equipment is turned on, the screen displays one bright spot after another like stars.

"Targets are found, and the number is around 1,000 to 2,000......"

"Release plankton, ready to trap ......"

With the Scar Man's orders, a large number of tiny plankton were released.

On the screen, many bright spots also began to move with the appearance of plankton.

At the same time, a suction force emerged from underneath the submarine, and a large amount of seawater was sucked into it.

It wasn't until the light spots on the monitor completely disappeared that the man with the scar ordered: "Close the suction hole......"

With that, he hurried towards the lower deck of the submarine and came to a place filled with seawater like a pool.

Several staff members in white coats were busy going back and forth.

The scarred man glanced down, but didn't notice anything unusual about the pool's water.

He asked, "Can I see these little ones?" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

A lab coat removes the headset and hands it to the man with the scar.

After the scarred man brought a special instrument, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In the originally dark water, transparent floating creatures with many tentacles appeared one after another.

"It's beautiful......"

The scar man had an admiring expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Is this the raw material of eternal life?" ”

After hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in the white coat's eyes, and he said calmly: "Captain, this is just a lighthouse jellyfish, whether or not humans can achieve immortality through them depends on the company's follow-up research ......"

The scarred man's throat squirmed, then he turned his head and asked, "What would happen if I ate them?!" ”

The white coat showed a different color and said, "Captain, they are poisonous, and eating them directly will destroy your gastrointestinal ......"

"Got it!"

The man with the scar took off his helmet and handed it to the white coat before turning to leave.

……

404 Institute.

Chen Xiao sat alone in a conference room, with several documents in hand.

There are twelve chairs at the round table, each with several camera-like objects set up behind each chair.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and looked at his watch, feeling that the time was almost up, and slowly pressed a button in front of the table.

"Brush!" "Brush!" "Brush!"

As the switch was pressed, a series of humanoid projections appeared on the round table.

In the blink of an eye, twelve round tables were full.

"Chen Xiao, hello, what are you doing to apply for a remote meeting?!"

"Did you know that this stuff is expensive, if you can't come up with something that satisfies us......"

As soon as the meeting began, two people spoke impatiently.

Chen Xiao didn't say a word, pressed a switch again, and suddenly, projection files appeared in front of the others.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and began to read.

As time went on, the breathing in the room became heavier and heavier, and even someone's eyes turned red.

"Chen Xiao, what you said is true?!"

"Chen Xiao, you have really researched a way to edit the genes of the lighthouse jellyfish into other organisms?!"

The reason why humans age and die is because there is a special sequence at each end of the chromosome called telomeres.

Due to the structure and mechanism of DNA and chromosomes, telomere changes at the ends are shortened a little bit with each DNA replication.

And when the telomeres are completely depleted, human life has also reached the end.

Not wanting to die is an obsession engraved in the genes of every human being, and the end of all life science research is how to make human beings immortal.

The lighthouse jellyfish, a unique immortal creature in nature, became a frequent visitor to major biological science research institutes as soon as it was discovered.

Unfortunately, over the years, people have achieved limited results, and they are still far from the direction of immortality, but they have also inadvertently expanded to other fields.

For example, the Enhancement Potion taken by the Enhancer is a derivative of the Lighthouse Jellyfish researched by the Reed Group.

"Impossible!" A person with a research background immediately denied it: "Gene editing is limited to homologous recombination, and if we replace the genes in the human body with lighthouse jellyfish, our gene chain will collapse!" ”

After the others calmed down, they also realized that they were too excited, and turned their heads to look at Chen Xiao, waiting for his explanation.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I found another way to inherit genes, but I'm still researching ......."

"The genes of the lighthouse jellyfish have been edited together with the Light......

"Oh yes, the Holy Light is the product of my combination of eighteen creatures, such as spiders, praying mantises, worms, etc......"

Someone frowned and said: "This kind of gene editing, which requires generational intergeneration, makes sense for human beings?!" ”

It's easy to edit the genes of two organisms together, but you need to be born with a new embryo as a container.

The more species there are, the more repulsive they are, and the more difficult it is to be able to edit genes together.

Chen Xiao's ability to edit the genes of 18 kinds of organisms together is already shocking.

What's even more unexpected is that he can even integrate the genes of the lighthouse jellyfish.

But these are not the most important things, for them, how to use the means of immortality for themselves is the key.

"So, I used the parasitic method......"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Please allow me to introduce to you the name of the lighthouse jellyfish after the fusion with the holy light......

He pressed the switch, and suddenly, a projection appeared in front of everyone, which was the appearance of the face-hugging insect.

"Its name is Dawn, and it is about to break to see the dawn of dawn......"

"It's ugly!"

"No, I think he's beautiful!" Chen Xiao looked at the face-hugging insect obsessively, and muttered: "This is the future of mankind, and it is also the mother of mankind......"

Seeing his perverted appearance, everyone suddenly felt uncomfortable, and someone said straight to the point: "Don't talk nonsense, this kind of overclocking band contact is very expensive, just say your purpose!"

The frenzy in Chen Xiao's eyes dissipated, and he regained his composure and said: "Preliminary test, after the dawn parasitic species, will have 30% of the genetic characteristics of the original species, and the newly born species are far stronger than the parasitic species, and can automatically absorb the advantages of their genetic fragments......"

"I need more sample ......"

"You also know that our 404 Research Institute has a weak military force, unlike you, and has raised so many people, so I hope you can help me catch some other experiments and come back......"

"What do you want?!"

"Strengthen people, ...... from the first order to the seventh order," said Chen Xiao, narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at one of the female administrators, and said, "Hao Mengyun, I heard that the Reed Group has already obtained the ninth order, can you help me get an eighth or ninth order test subject?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Hao Mengyun said speechlessly: "The eighth and ninth orders can only be used by their internal core personnel, and none of them are for sale, we are people from Rizhao, what do you want me to do?!" ”

"Didn't you have a leg with one of their executives?"

"Fuck off, old lady, that's a borrowed seed!"

Chen Xiao suddenly felt regretful, knowing that he would not be able to get an eighth-order and ninth-order enhancer in the short term.

He shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, then the first order to the seventh order of the enhancer......"

"In addition to human samples, I also need xenomorph samples, samples of various types of radiant beasts, samples of mutant man-eating flowers......"

At this point, he paused, "If possible......"

"I want a mutant beast!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Everyone was shocked, "Now we can't deal with these mutant beasts, according to what you said, that ugly monster bug can optimize genes, what if it evolves into a stronger monster!?" ”

After Chen Xiao heard someone say that the face-hugging insect was ugly, the cold light in his eyes flashed.

He narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Then don't want the mutant beast sample first, with the current ability of Dawn, parasitic into the body of the mutant beast, it may take dozens of hundreds of years to hatch, wait until I cultivate a more powerful Dawn, and then talk about ......"

"You can help, but you're going to give me some of these ugly bugs......"

"That's right, there are results, and everyone shares them together is ......"

Looking at the greed in everyone's eyes, a bright smile bloomed on Chen Xiao's face.

"Yes, that's enough!
