Chapter 180 Gene fusion, insect egg trading
“It seems that what the General Institute of Biological Research has done is more radical than I thought...”
Lin Feng sighed with emotion, No other comments were made.
Ling Shuyan pushed up her glasses, noncommittal.
In the face of life and death, even the law is not worth mentioning, let alone useless morality.
Only by surviving first can one judge what is good or bad and right or wrong.
Lin Feng thought of the son of the salvation prophecy she mentioned, and then asked:
"According to you, the transplantation of superpowers can only start from newborn embryonic cells?"
“Do you want to artificially breed the next generation?”
Ling Shuyan pursed her lips and nodded.
The light green light from the low-temperature glass box reflected on her lenses, making it difficult to see clearly the expression behind her eyes.
"Yeah. But it's obviously too late to start from scratch."
"So the General Hospital took the next best step and looked for young people before adulthood, as well as teenagers whose secondary sexual characteristics have not yet matured. Conducting transplantation experiments of superpowers. "
"The former can probably accommodate two to three superpowers, while the latter is more compatible and can master at least five superpowers, including rare ones. Mental ability.”
Lin Feng’s face darkened, recalling Jiang Chengcheng whom he had just met at Han Yuxin’s place in the morning:
"The cost of doing this is not low, right?"
"Even if an adult awakened person undergoes a Zerg gene transplant, he will have to endure both mental and physical torture, as well as the sequelae of the rapid depletion of his own lifespan..."
Ling Shuyan sighed lowly and did not refute:
"The success rate is still very low and cannot be put into mass production. It is just an initial small batch experiment."
"And You are right, the price is too high. Even if a qualified product can come out of the laboratory, its vitality will be overdrawn to only more than ten years.”
"Stem cells are the source of life, and a superpower has just the right load on the body. Although a collection of multiple superpowers is extremely powerful, the consumption of stem cells also increases exponentially!"
"I also know that this sounds cruel and unethical... But if we don't do this, humans will be unable to resist the Zerg invasion due to the lack of high-end power."
"Especially the high-level Zerg. Mother Queen."
As she spoke, Ling Shuyan pointed to the sealed jars in the glass box, the newly synthesized gene glands:
"Gene warriors are just opportunistic shortcuts, and they are a last resort in order to cope with the frontline war. means.”
"Perhaps you have vaguely felt that genetic warriors are modified from the Zerg genes. They are essentially the genetic combination of humans and tiger spine worms. They are half spine worms. When facing the Zerg mother queen, they are easily attracted by their powerful spirit. Affected by the power, at least they will lose their fighting ability, but at worst, they will be controlled by them."
"It's like a swarm of insects."
"There is no pie in this world. The genetic warriors can quickly gain strength that far exceeds that of the Zerg of the same level, and will naturally be restrained by the source of their strength."
"And the higher the degree of fusion of the Zerg genes, the stronger the genetic warriors will be. The easier it is to be manipulated by the Mother Queen. "
"Genetic warriors can only be used in defensive battles on the surface, and cannot go deep underground to kill the Zerg Mother Queen."
"The last time Qin Hu made his first underground exploration, after he returned successfully with your help, he once mentioned to me that he felt a burst of heart palpitations in the underground insect nest, and at the same time there was always a call echoing in his head, especially Entering the state of genetic assimilation, the feeling of being out of control becomes even stronger."
"So I want to tell you in advance, if this batch of second-level genetic warriors is for you to attack the underground worms. If you kill the Zerg Mother Queen and train them, you must be prepared in advance for them to be out of control and defect in battle."
Lin Feng shrugged and said nothing.
"You don't need to worry about it. I know this very well. Their duty is to guard the entrance of the wormhole on the surface and clear out other second-order worms coming to support in the passage. Killing the high-level mother queen can only be done by me!"
Then he brought the content back to the topic and asked again:
"So the Federation's General Biological Research Institute plans to artificially create a group of perfect awakened ones. How will their strength reach the third stage?!"
"There is no life energy captured from the Zerg. , is it possible to achieve promotion and awakening out of thin air?"
Ling Shuyan turned around, stared at the man behind her with a deep look, and then shook her head:
"I don't know, maybe this is the main hospital. , the problem we are trying to solve..."
"But don't worry, most of the teenagers who participated in the experiment did so voluntarily, because if you resist in your heart, the experiment will definitely fail. , just like our genetic modification surgery, the psychological and spiritual state is more important than physical strength.”
"No one without a strong will can survive these tedious and painful surgeries."
"However, in the end of the world, there is no shortage of Avengers. The alien Zerg invaded Blue Star, causing the death of hundreds of millions of people in the Federation. , hundreds of millions of people have been displaced, and the seeds of hatred have been deeply planted..."
"Sooner or later, these young generations, full of hatred and growing up in the flames of war, will destroy these invaders. Eliminate everyone without leaving any trace behind!"
As she said that, Ling Shuyan clenched her fists and looked firmly in her eyes.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, thinking of Shen Jie who was always on the front line and fighting tirelessly. In fact, after he became a first-order awakened person, he no longer had to work so hard.
As long as the genetic assimilation form is not overused, it will naturally not become indistinguishable between humans and insects.
But he did not back down, but fought all the way to the end. Becoming stronger in order to kill insects and killing insects in order to become stronger are completely different concepts.
All his parents and relatives died tragically at the mouth of the Zerg, and no bones were left. If he hadn't been dependent on Zhang Liying, Shen Jie might have already had his mind set on death.
Death in the artistic world of fighting against the king spine worm.
There are countless orphans like them in the occupied cities along the coast where the population is concentrated.
If Liu Yueqi hadn't been lucky and her relatives were still around, she might have embarked on such a path, following her side and fighting all the way.
However, Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to the research of the main hospital. He was just a little curious about how the third-level superman they planned would be cultivated.
This may be helpful to you.
"Okay, don't be too nervous. My moral sentiments are not that noble and I won't meddle in other people's business."
"I just think their Superman plan is a bit too radical. , especially the burden of power awakening on children, no matter how strong their potential is, it is difficult for them to be as experienced and comfortable as adults.”
Lin Feng replied calmly. He saw Chi Yi who had been holding it in for a long time, with an expression as if something was stuck in his throat, and he didn't want to spit it out.
So I quickly ended the topic.
Ling Shuyan is no better than Han Yuxin. The latter will not talk nonsense even if he guesses, but the former can deduce the true identity of Zhi Yi from various clues in Zhi Yi's long and unobstructed sermon.
A clone of the Mother Queen with self-awareness.
For Ling Shuyan, there will never be a more perfect research material.
As a companion of the Mother Queen's clone, it is difficult not to be speculated and suspected as to whether he has been controlled by the Zerg.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible, Lin Feng ended his hesitation ahead of time.
When Ling Shuyan saw this, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a slightly meaningful smile:
"No problem, regarding technology sharing, I have uploaded the genetic warrior's transformation plan. We will also be notified when there are any breakthroughs there.”
“We will contact you in time”
Lin Feng nodded, glanced at Zhi Yi behind him with slightly narrowed eyes, and said no more.
After having a general understanding of the federation's current biotechnology, the members of the second-order battle group who went for physical examinations took their test report sheets and came to the operating area downstairs.
Ling Shuyan looked at the notification message sent on her mobile phone, so she hurried back to the next floor with Lin Feng and the other two who came to visit the experimental floor.
At this time, the first batch of awakened people to participate in genetic modification have made all preparations.
They took off their clothes and equipment, wearing only a light blue thin coat that fit the front and back. After disinfecting their entire body, they entered the operating room and lay on the operating table. Then the doctor performed local surgery on their waist and abdomen. anaesthetization. Through the clear glass window of the operating room...
Lin Feng watched quietly as the auxiliary staff injected different amounts of tiger spine gene stock solution into the gene gland according to the operator's report sheet, and then implanted it into a hexagonal flat Inside the black box.
That is the zygote that will be sewn into the tail of the spine of the awakened person's waist.
Only ten centimeters wide, half the size of a palm.
After the adjustment, the doctor began to use a needle to inject the diluted gene solution into the suture area. The trace amounts of Zerg cells in it would eat the human tissue of the surgeon, and then fight fiercely with nearby human cells.
This moment caused local redness and swelling.
A large number of macrophage and Zerg cell corpses piled up into clumps and blistered.
Prick them for disinfection and repeat this process several times. With the powerful self-healing power of the second-order awakened people, the wounds continue to heal and scab, eventually forming a blue-gray ring similar to a tattoo.
Then the sewing begins.
The scabbed skin is cut, and the entire zygote is sutured under the surgeon's skin, and then they are stimulated to repair. The hyperplastic scar tissue is connected to the gland and begins to absorb the gene fragments released therein, while also providing Gene glands provide nutrients to continuously release Zerg genes.
The new cells in the scar tissue continued to expand after devouring the Zerg genes, and eventually spread and enveloped the entire reproductive zygote.
This is the end of the external surgery part.
The follow-up is more important postoperative observation.
Those new cells that neutralize the Zerg and human genes will reach a perfect combination state and become similar to antibodies, chasing and intercepting the Zerg cells that were previously injected into the vicinity.
As the blue-grey circle, like a tattoo, gradually disappears, it means that the genetic assimilation transformation surgery has been initially declared successful!
The next step is the more important stage of specialized cell expansion. They will replace the weak original tissue and increase the host's physical strength.
Some black and yellow hard skin gradually accumulates on the body surface.
Specialized cells have extremely strong plasticity and can activate the genetic characteristics of the Zerg and evolve the structure of the Zerg.
Eventually formed a pair of hard tiger insect armor.
The rapid changes in this stage will consume a lot of energy in the human body.
The profuse sweating and pain of assimilation made the awakened ones grit their teeth and tremble all over.
With Ling Shuyan's approval, the support staff took out bags of milky white nutrient solution and injected it into the genetic warrior's throat with a hose.
Some people who are conscious will take the initiative to smoke.
Soon, these ten first batch of surgeons completed their transformation from second-order awakened beings to genetic warriors.
The strength attribute value has been rising with the infusion of organic nutrient solution and the crazy proliferation of specialized cells in the body.
Ling Shuyan smiled and introduced:
"After studying the second-order insect eggs sent last time, we have been able to initially replicate the organic nutrient solution contained in them, which has 50% of the efficacy of the original solution. However, these The organic matter soup cannot eventually develop into tiger spine worm larvae."
Lin Feng smiled and said nothing. He couldn't help but complain in his heart that the life energy contained in it was already absorbed by the dead eggs. Light.
It’s strange that it can hatch!
Life energy is the key to hatching tiger spine worms.
Organic nutrient solution only provides a material carrier.
Zhiyi on the side finally couldn't help but ask:
"It's too rough to do this. Aren't you afraid that new cells will proliferate in the wound and cause large-scale ulcers..."
Ling Shuyan shook her head helplessly:
“There is no way, we have tried more cautious methods, but the physical strength of the awakened person is too high, and sometimes the wound will heal automatically within ten seconds. Ordinary drugs have no effect on them. ”
"Especially for second-level awakened people, even the surgical tools are temporarily made of titanium alloy. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cut out the unexpectedly distorted assimilated tissue."
"Currently, the minimum surgical transformation can be performed. It has to be a person who is awakened in the middle to late stage of the first level. No matter how low it is, it will not be able to withstand the invasion of Zerg cells, but will suffer from high fever. "
"This method has minimized the risk of surgery. Abnormal reaction. The genetic glands cultivated by Shen Jie and other original bodies can effectively reduce the intensity of initial assimilation through slow release. "
"The price is only the physical increase of these genetic warriors in the first few days. It’s only about 50%. As the absorption and fusion rate increases, it will eventually stabilize at 80% to 100%.”
In fact, one of the surgeons just had an accident during the proliferation and assimilation process, and the scar tissue lost control and developed towards cancer.
But under the control of her artistic conception ability, the distorted part quickly died and disappeared, and the assimilation was able to continue.
Although even if she did not take action, the doctors and supporting staff would find out in time, remove the part and suspend the operation at the same time.
But doing so means that the operation fails, which will not only cause an irreparable overdraft of the vitality of the awakened person, but also leave serious sequelae. From then on, he will be troubled by Zerg genes for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult to break through to the third level. stage.
Being able to achieve a success rate of more than 90% is already perfect for Ling Shuyan.
Due to conditions, this can only be done for now.
Then she pushed up her glasses, looked at the organic nutrient solution in the hands of the medical staff, and said casually:
"By the way, Mr. Lin, the second-order insect eggs you gave us last time , are there any left?"
"It would be better if they are still alive."
"You can easily defeat dozens of second-order zerg, and there are more in the underground worm nest. He comes and goes freely, and he must have visited the Zerg’s hatching nest deep underground, right?”
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to have so many second-level awakeners so quickly, and they are all early-stage awakeners who have just been promoted and have a restless atmosphere..."
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, his expression unchanged. He said lightly:
"You are very smart. The second-order insect eggs can make the awakened ones in the late first-order step directly into the second stage."
"At the same time, the organic nutrient solution and various Such a valuable thing is far more profitable than the business of selling second-level tiger spine insects."
"It's just that the value of a second-level awakened person is unknown to Ling. What can I get in exchange?”
"Or do you think I will provide you with free funding in the name of scientific research?"
Ling Shuyan took a deep breath. In fact, the reason why she was so attentive today was because of this crucial moment:
“Of course not. The help that a second-level awakened person can bring cannot be measured in terms of money or even resources.”
“But at present, you only have a large number of living second-level awakeners in your hands. The insect eggs, and this thing is crucial to the advancement of the Superman Project of the Biological Research Institute!"
"If you are willing to contribute to the salvation of mankind, we will be willing to do it at all costs, Meet any of your requirements..."
"Including ones that can seriously injure the Queen Mother..."
"Micro nuclear warhead!"
Hearing the last sentence,
Lin Feng's pupils suddenly condensed.
