The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 191 Big

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "With such great achievements, some risks are acceptable!"

Bai Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief: "You are still sensible, and now the Star Defense Department is turning a blind eye to such a big achievement."

He sneered: "Any achievement that does not help the aerospace industry is redundant."

"Don't complain." Jiang Yu looked at an unformed human organ and said, "Let's talk about its principle.

"Don't talk about things that are too professional, just say something that I can understand."

Bai Xiangdong explained: "The biggest problem with organ cultivation all the time is that somatic cells don't grow according to our ideas, and often what is grown is a lump of flesh without the function of an organ at all.

"Many organizations have thought of many ways before, such as using stem cells to accumulate the main structure of organs, and then grow organ cells on this basis.

"But without exception, they all failed, because the cultivated organ cells still didn't listen to us. When we cultivated a lung, it insisted on growing gastric mucosa. We wanted to cultivate a liver, but it needed to grow smooth muscle.

"This is the biggest limitation of current biology. We know which part of the gene can affect human organs, but there is no way to make it work for us!"

Bai Xiangdong said while Jiang Yu walked out, it was still difficult for normal people to stay in a room full of human organs.

After exiting the laboratory, Bai Xiangdong continued: "The two experimental results you saw just now accidentally allowed us to obtain a method that can manipulate relative genes of organs to a certain extent.

"We discovered the motility of animal cells by dissecting the orange leaf killer to form simple organs in plants.

"We know that plant cells can reproduce across boundaries, such as inserting a branch in water, and under the right conditions, new roots will grow.

"This operation is equivalent to cultivating gastrointestinal cells on the muscle cells of the limbs. It is theoretically possible, but the human cells have a clear division of labor, and the genetic shackles prevent them from undergoing such changes.

"By repeatedly studying the simple organs in the body of the orange leaf killer, we have basically understood its regeneration mechanism. On this basis, we can cultivate the desired organ cells."

Bai Xiangdong led them to a small conference room, and continued: "But there is still a big problem, cells alone are not enough, the accumulation of organ cells is still a lump of meat with a special structure.

"At this time, the research on bioelectricity between No. [-] bacteria came in handy. After many experiments, we finally found a bioelectrical signal that can control the accumulation of organ cells in an orderly manner.

"Well, you can understand it this way, giving the cultivated organ cells the order to generate organs so that they grow in the right place.

"Human beings are a multicellular organism, except that subjective consciousness is a special phenomenon, and the microcosmic communication between cells can be understood by analogy.

"As long as the method is used correctly, the gene can generate a single and complete organ based on this order and according to the blueprint stored in it!"

Jiang Yu nodded: "Human beings in the future will thank you."

However, Bai Xiangdong smiled wryly and said: "If I guessed correctly, the methods of affecting each segment of human genes should be very different.

"This is a research project with heavy responsibilities and a long way to go. If the project team is really cancelled, we will completely lose the possibility of having a genetic war with the trisolarans.

"The gene bomb of the Trisolarans in the future can be detonated at any time, and we will only be beaten!"

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment: "Your experiment should continue."

Then he said with a smile: "But you have to take a rest first, I happen to be going to Moon City, you go with me to relax."

Bai Xiangdong was absolutely unwilling: "I..."

Jiang Yu glanced at him.

Bai Xiangdong sighed: "If you let me rest, then I will rest! Traveling with public funds, who would not be happy? I will bring my wife and grandson..."

"No, the finances of Moon City are tight recently, so you can only go by yourself." Jiang Yu flatly refused.

Bai Xiangdong curled his lips: "You're so stingy!"

Jiang Yu smiled again and said to the other staff members: "I'll give you a vacation too, but you have to take turns watching the No. [-] fungus and the orange leaf killer!"

The researchers were all smiling. After all, they worked under Bai Xiangdong, and they hadn't rested for a long time.

Then Jiang Yu asked No. [-] to communicate with the Star Defense Department. According to the Star Defense Department, he was unwilling to continue to provide financial support to Bai Xiangdong's project team.

And the experimental base will also be shut down in the second half of the year.

At the same time, it also rejected Jiang Yu's request to invest and continue the experiment.

That probably means: We quit, and you Moon City don’t want to continue doing it either.

Jiang Yu was relieved. Fortunately, he didn't reveal Bai Xiangdong in front of so many people in the conference room today.

After finishing his business, Jiang Yu went to the laboratory to see these orange leaf killers.

Jiang Yu had a premonition that the by-products of these two experiments by Bai Xiangdong seemed to reveal a corner of the mysteries of life, making Jiang Yu seem to have glimpsed the true face of life, but he seemed to have seen nothing.

Bai Xiangdong, who had been accompanying Jiang Yu all this time, said: "The dozen or so killer orange leaves will destroy them in two months.

"Although we only found a simple central structure in their bodies, they seem to have a certain consciousness, and this consciousness is far higher than the collective intelligence of No. [-] bacteria."

Jiang Yu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Bai Xiangdong said: "We...we may not only create a brand new species, but also find a new way for life!

"Have you heard of the idea of ​​plant civilization?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "That's just an idea, at least the plants on the earth will not have this possibility."

Bai Xiangdong let out a long breath: "But the diversity and complexity of life amazes those of us who study biology."

He sighed: "I really want to see what the alien creatures look like."

Jiang Yu suddenly recalled a conversation with 36 a long time ago: "The universe and life may complement each other, not to say that the universe includes life, and their relationship is likely to be equal."

The two watched the Orange Leaf Killer for a long time without saying a word. They both felt the vastness of the universe from the perspective of life.

That night, Jiang Yu rested at the experimental base, and left early the next morning with Bai Xiangdong.

Jiang Yu and others first flew to the south by plane, and then took the space elevator into the space station.

After the space elevator ran for most of the day, Jiang Yu was attracted by the scenery outside the sightseeing window.

The surrounding background began to turn black, and the space like a star curtain could be easily seen.

The ground under the feet has become a circular arc. Although the overall appearance of the earth is still invisible, you can feel its vastness from looking down!

Jiang Yu felt that the earth seemed to have a kind of power to attract him, which made him feel a strange sense of detachment and faint anxiety when he entered the space.
