Cross-species genetics, simply put, is the idea of splicing together DNA from different species, so that the experimental subjects have the cellular abilities of other species.

In fact, in 2011 this type of technology was not uncommon, in 1982 it was already used in the field of medicine, and even as early as the 90s of the last century, genetically modified tomatoes appeared on the US market.

But now, Connors was looking at something else at all – he was going to transplant the lizard's good genes into humans.

"I think it's doable, and at Osborne, they've succeeded in creating synthetic genetic spiders that combine the characteristics of multiple spiders, and they're trying to use that spider silk as a model for more commercial uses.

I just need to go one step further and transfer the genes from high-quality gene vectors to people. ”

Dr. Connors's lab is full of reptiles, mostly lizards.

With the prosthetic eye scan, Lille quickly looked up the names of these reptiles on the Internet, most of them are common species, and the most numerous are geckos.

"But I'm in some trouble right now... I devised an attenuation algorithm for clipping DNA.

We first integrate a large amount of DNA into the main experimental target, and the useless genes will disintegrate and methylate regularly under the action of attenuating drugs, and finally leave a stable and usable integrated gene.

This idea actually came from another old friend of mine and had already been validated in the Osborne Group. ”

"Dr. Richard Parker?" Lille also found the paper on the web, from Spider-Man's parents.

Connors looked surprised: "Yes, but they... In distress, the Osborne Group wanted me to take over the couple's project resources. ”

Lille bowed slightly: "I guess the problem is that the decay rate is incorrect, either complete exhaustion leads to the failure of integrated DNA, or uncontrollable aberrations in the subject's genes." ”

"How do you know? I heard Matt say you're an information technology expert, but..."

"I made up for it last night."

Lille has already made up for a lot of technological development from the future.

The decay rate algorithm also appeared in the 2077 world, where the moral bottom line has long been broken.

As early as the middle of the 20th century, there were cross-species transgenic human experiments, whether it was the transformation of animal DNA into humans, or the transfer of human DNA to animals, and the cultivation of usable human organs, which was a lucrative business.

If there is money to be made, the company will study it.

It's a pity that similar research reports either died out or stayed in the original network in the blackout caused by Buttermoss.

The good news is... Biotechnology has preserved a large number of similar finished technologies and put them into use – with a clear goal.

Connors was shocked and revisited Lille – the partner who had been a volunteer.

Lille continued: "I guess your original idea was to observe the DNA collapse that is happening in my body and find a way to use ionizing radiation to refine and modify the model. ”

"Hmm... Yes, you've already guessed it. Connors smiled wryly, "But... Until then, I'm missing a lot of things, look around. ”

Connors spread his hands, surrounded by all sorts of reptiles.

In addition to this, there are a large number of high-end biological research facilities, but Lille can see at a glance that these are not enough.

In order to complete this research, it is not enough to understand molecular genetics, but also to develop new hardware facilities.

Connors needed manpower, needed more samples, needed... Money.

"I don't have any money, the college doesn't have enough money for me, and I can't even take the first step.

I've tried to integrate DNA into a variety of common reptiles, but the target can't afford to do so.

I have two guesses about the direction of improvement: one is to upgrade the DNA cutting technology to reduce redundant DNA; The second is to improve the quality of the receptors.

I speculate that an iguana from the Lesser Antilles has a high chance of surviving as a genetic integrator, but I don't have the data at all.

You've got me in high esteem, this project is still in its early days. ”

Dr. Connors finished speaking, glancing at his desk, and Lil followed his gaze to see a document.

It reads "Osborne Group".

"The Osborne Group invited me to take over the Parkers' research and promised to give me the best resources possible so that I could see the results of both of them.

It's going to speed things up a lot, but..."

Connors looked at Lille, "That way, I don't have the authority to decide where the technology is to be used - you know, there's news that Norman Osborne works closely with the military and may even join a remake of the Super Soldier program."

I want to use this technology to save people, not for politicians to deceive a bunch of lads and go to a foreign land to burn and loot.

This... It's something I've done. ”

Lille looked into Dr. Connors' eyes and snapped his fingers, full of confidence: "The question is simple, Doctor, we can work together." ”

"Lille... I want to do that too, but..."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Professor." Lille held up a finger, "Yes, I'm a poor guy compared to the Osborne group.

But we have a common goal, I can guarantee that this technology will not be used in aggressive wars, and you also have the right to decide which direction the technology will be used.

Secondly... I can prove that -- give me a few days, I can get the DNA data of the little Antillean iguana, and we can do the data simulation first. ”

"You?" Professor Connors looked surprised, "How did you get it?" ”

Lille certainly can't say he has one on his hands - the iguana that Jack smuggled is exactly what Connors needs.

Because of the need to avoid the limelight, the smuggled goods are still in hand and have not been disposed of.

It's a hassle to transfer an entire lizard, but there's nothing wrong with just the data.

"I'm serious, Professor.

In addition to that, I will give you more technical support, and... Not too much money. ”

As he spoke, Lille shrugged: "But I believe that in a clean and transparent group like ours, it will definitely be enough." ”

The blonde Professor Connors didn't look so handsome, but rather bald.

To be honest, the first impression of this professor was that of tiredness and exhaustion.

Trapped by his dreams, he was only one step away from "getting the money first" in his head.

However, Connors's haunting is only an arm that can't grow, and Lille's haunting is the chasing Grim Reaper--

The young man was much calmer than he was.

Connors looked at Lille in a daze, then shook his head with a wry smile:

"I'm really going back and going, so congratulations, I've been promoted from volunteer to partner."

Perhaps it was a sudden change in mentality, and Connors even made a joke.

Lille shrugged: "I also want to congratulate you, you will be glad to have chosen me when you look back in the future." ”

Just as Lille had just finished saying this, a system beep came to mind.

[It's been more than an hour since interdimensional contact]

【Tech-20】

[Current Technology Points: 320]

Lille's expression froze.

Damn rounding up mechanic.
