Atlas Group Research Conference Hall.

This is an online meeting for a unified report on the progress of the research to Lille.

Each researcher is equipped with a cyber modulator and uploads the data to the online conference hall with the information collection terminal in their respective laboratory.

For Lille, all he had to do was sit in his chair and see first-hand what the researchers were going to show him.

The first project is the development of second-generation prostheses from biological laboratories and the cloning of organs based on lizard serum.

Zero-generation prostheses refer to medical devices such as prosthetic heart valves, pacemakers, and simple prosthetics that already exist.

The first generation of prosthetics is now widely promoted by international genetic cooperatives and has been gradually incorporated into the New York citizens' health insurance.

These prostheses use motors, pistons, and other mechanical transmission structures to mimic human limbs, and more often than not, plastics and metals.

Although a good design can achieve a biomimetic effect to a certain extent, a machine is a machine, and without the biliverdin immunosuppressant, a by-product of lizard serum, as a combination, the rejection reaction will be quite severe.

If these prostheses are implanted in large numbers of parts of the body, they can still trigger a significant immune response.

The second generation of prostheses was quite different, and in the cyberpunk era, the watershed moment of the second generation of prostheses was the invention of artificial muscles, which completely replaced the power components of the first generation of prostheses.

In the twentieth century, a European scientist happened to invent an electroactive polymer that could change shape and size under the influence of an electric field and cause rejection reactions orders of magnitude lower than those used in the first generation of prostheses.

Based on this electroactive polymer, the development of second-generation prostheses was put on the agenda.

After so many years of development, the main materials of artificial muscles are not only electroactive polymers, but also shape memory alloys, pneumatic and hydraulic organics, dielectric elastomers, etc.

These newer materials are generally faster and more precise than first-generation prostheses, and often more powerful.

The second-generation prosthesis is combined with immunosuppressants in the cyberpunk world, and a large number of implantable replacements will no longer cause lethal rejection, with a wide range of functions.

And the second-generation prosthetic body on Lille's side is powerful-

The protocol used by International Genetic Cooperative is to directly extract stem cells from the target, clone them using lizard serum, and induce cell differentiation to form an enhanced version of the muscle.

Once successful, the rejection can be said to be none, because the artificial muscle is still a muscle, and nothing else.

The artificial muscles of the cyberpunk world are basically based on magical materialological breakthroughs, but the Atlas Group is derived from the further application of lizard serum.

Professor Connors began to present their new work.

The virtual space presents a scene that captures the nerves of Professor Connors, making people feel like they are there.

To a certain extent, this is a real-time Mewtwo achieved by using the network, which is the same principle as the human-machine synchronization technology used in cross-dimensional factories, but it is more advanced.

Professor Connors came to the culture chambers, which contained a large number of uncomfortable-looking human organs and tissue cells—

The source of each jar is clearly traceable, half from donations, and half from people in urgent need of medical care.

The stem cells first divide under the action of the lizard serum, and then induce division in physical and chemical stimuli to form fixed cells.

This induction method must not only ensure that the cells are properly differentiated, but also ensure that the cells can grow in an orderly manner in the culture environment.

[Connors: The cultivation of specific functional cells is very mature, and Peter has found a way to orientally cultivate these cells and "weave" them into specific functional groups according to needs, such as pectoral muscle groups, spinal muscle groups, and cardiomyocyte groups. 】

Connors: Because from a microscopic point of view, the process is somewhat like . Knitting sweaters, so we call this method "Cellular Functional Group Knitting Technique". 】

Peter in a white lab coat walks into the lab, followed by Gwen.

Through a lot of experiments, summaries, and generalizations, Peter has been promoted to researcher for cell weaving techniques.

Peter has been granted a commutation and administrative pardon for his eight-month technical support to the NYPD as a technician behind the scenes, including biotech autopsies and routine electronic support.

In a week's time, I'll be able to end my sentence and start looking for a college to go to—

However, after so many things, Peter, who is about to turn 18 years old, seems very calm at work, at least he has put away all his happy emotions, and now he can't see what he thinks in his heart at all.

Experimentation matters.

The initial sample of stem cells was only 1 ml and was drawn from Peter's body.

With the first round of lizard serum and nutrient injections, the stem cells divide rapidly, turning into a population half the size of a fist that looks like a tumor.

The stem cell population is then transitioned to the next culture medium to induce differentiation using complex biochemicals as well as electrical stimulation.

The whole process can be seen to be quite mature.

Tumor-like cells are stimulated by electric currents and culture medium to turn into muscle cells, which are arranged in an orderly manner with the rise and fall of the nanoscale weaving frame, and then guided by nanoscale knitting needles to the bioplastic skeleton that acts as a skeleton.

Soon, a well-proportioned and beautiful finger was obtained.

The finger is sent to the next experimental site, and the discharge needle releases an electric current to simulate the stimulation of muscles by bioelectricity in the body.

Works well.

There is no lag in the process, everything is in plan, which shows that the technology is indeed mature.

The picture pans to the other side, where Connors is facing a huge wall.

There are dozens of glass boxes on the walls, filled with experimental subjects such as mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.

There's also a surveillance wall featuring larger dogs, cats, pigs, and even monkeys.

As far as these things are displayed, the international genetic cooperation company has invested tens of millions of dollars, and is still increasing investment-

For a company that has been around for less than a year, this number is simply unthinkable, but International Genetic Cooperative has done just that.

The super-large-scale investment has also brought unimaginable results, and none of the scientists here are ordinary people.

[Connors: As you can see, a total of 1,860 test subjects, more than 600 skeletal muscle groups, cardiomyocyte groups, and most smooth muscle groups have been experimented.

The muscle groups replaced by the experiment were basically able to cover 99.999% of the disabled population.

All 1860 animal samples were in good health and had some improvement in functionality. 】

[Connors: In a normal human body, each square centimeter of muscle is capable of producing 20 to 40 Newtons of force, and the tension of a single cell is 0.3 to 3 millinewtons. 】

[Connors: Mature muscles cultivated using lizard serum can generate up to 230 Newtons of force per square centimeter within a safe range of densities, with a single cell tension of 10 to 80 millinewtons. 】

[Connors: I suggest we do a more systematic hierarchy of finished products - after all, not everyone needs superhuman strength. 】

After showing this, Connors smiled confidently, raised his arm, and lifted his sleeves—

A brand new second-generation prosthetic body that looks almost indistinguishable from the original arm.

[Connors: And the first human experiment has been successful, and I feel good.] 】

[Connors: Oh, by the way, this is artificial skin printed with a mixture of collagen and skin cells, and the technology is already very mature, and I guess with the introduction of the second generation of prostheses, its manufacturing cost will also be reduced. 】

Lille bowed slightly, and a chime sounded in front of him.

[Biological laboratory project completed: second-generation prosthetics (artificial muscle, artificial skin)]

[Reward Tech Points Based on Engagement: 500]

[Current Technology Points: 9500]

[Lille: What about the risks? 】
