Super Dimension Technology Era

The 167th directed mutation experiment.

Under X-ray irradiation, the original strain of the fluorescent virus that has had some of its bases modified is rapidly mutating.

"Mutation completed."

"Triplicate."

The mutated strain was divided into three parts, one for vacuum preservation, one for backup, and one for replication and experiments.

Inject this mutated virus into the test meat ball, and immediately connected to the meat ball's detector, the data is constantly being refreshed.

Jiang Zhiren looked at the meat ball's data, which was rapidly mutating in the direction they expected.

2 hours and 44 minutes later.

[Detection completed: X-ray resistance +36%, short-wave laser resistance +12%...]

"As expected." Jiang Zhiren said as he pulled out the virtual display screen.

The genetic sequence before the virus mutates and the genetic sequence after the mutation are called up on the virtual display screen, and the supercomputer's function of removing similarities and seeking differences is activated to eliminate the identical parts of the two sets of gene sequences and retain the different parts.

The different parts are the mutated gene segments. As a result, 17 deoxyribonucleotides were mutated.

Record this mutated gene fragment and label it "X-ray resistance +36%, short-wave laser resistance +12%...". These days, they have completed hundreds of sets of records of mutated gene fragments.

The 17 of them were divided into three groups, with Du Pengxin leading the gene fusion, Huang Fan leading the symbiotic relationship, and Jiang Zhiren leading the mutation gene.

This arrangement is actually related to the previous work of the three people.

Du Pengxin was previously responsible for work on X genes and biochemical humans, and he has a very deep foundation in gene fusion work.

Naturally, the boring gene fragment test recording was done by the calm and calm Jiang Zhiren.

Huang Fan was the one who first discovered the symbiotic relationship between Yinghuo viruses, so he was naturally responsible for the research in this area.

…

Progress in gene fusion is slow, but Huang Fan's research on symbiotic relationships has yielded a lot of useful data.

For example, the symbiotic strain of the fluorescent virus disguised as the 24th pair of chromosomes, in order to allow the human body to supply energy for a long time and ensure that the virus itself can survive, the virus actually actively repairs the telomere length of the chromosomes.

In Experimental Cabin No. 2, a meat ball imitating an elderly person was injected with a symbiotic strain.

In the atomic imaging scans on the side, the pair of chromosomes of the symbiotic strain are constantly absorbing nutrients and then releasing some of their daughters.

Like a symbiotic strain of a worm that attaches itself to other normal chromosomes, something strange happens: the virus accelerates cell division.

With an adequate supply of nutrients, human cells complete a division in less than 30 minutes.

The old cells and the symbiotic strain of camouflaged chromosomes undergo apoptosis together, while the "worm symbiotic strain daughters" in the new cells form camouflaged chromosomes again.

Huang Fan reduced the supply of nutrients, lowering the supply level of nutrients to normal human levels.

Originally, the camouflage chromosomes of the daughter were copied again, but this time they did not accelerate the division of the body cells, but released hunger pheromones to make the meat ball feel hungry. Obviously these little things want the meat ball to supply more nutrients. .

But Huang Fan was not free, because he was comparing the telomere lengths of new cells and old cells, and there was indeed a length difference between the two.

Generally speaking, the telomere length of old cells should be longer than that of new cells, but the opposite situation occurs in cells after symbiosis with viruses.

The telomeres of new cells are significantly longer than those of old cells.

After recording the data into the database, Huang Fan and several researchers once again increased the supply of nutrients to the meatballs. Under the stimulation of the symbiotic virus strain, the meatball cells continued to divide new cells and quickly eliminated old cells.

"Incredible!" One of the researchers exclaimed with burning eyes.

At this time, a virtual display screen was suspended in mid-air in front of them. There were two sets of chromosomes on the virtual display screen.

One group is 23 pairs, and one group is 24 pairs.

The 23 pairs are naturally the state of the meat ball before the virus is injected, and the 24 pairs are the state after the injection.

On the virtual display screen, the biggest difference between the two sets of chromosomes is not the extra pair of chromosomes, but the length of telomeres.

The telomere length of the 23-pair group was already very short, while the telomere length of the 24-pair group was the same as that of a newborn baby.

If he hadn't done the experiment himself, Huang Fan probably wouldn't have believed the sequence of the two chromosomes in front of him.

The restoration of telomere length means the extension of cell life, which is undoubtedly a further step in life science for humans at this stage.

However, Huang Fan was not too happy, because the telomere length of the chromosomes was restored, but something they had to face appeared in front of them.

The chromosomal deletion was not repaired, and the accelerated division of the symbiotic virus further increased the chromosomal deletion.

The seemingly extended telomere length is actually the combination of symbiotic virions attached to normal chromosomes.

The spheroid cells that had already divided 45 times were accelerated by the virus three more times, and the degree of chromosome deletion reached 48 divisions, which is close to the limit of 50 divisions of somatic cells.

Can the imitation telomeres produced by virus symbiosis really extend life? This is a question worth thinking about.

Huang Fan activated the nanorobot, turned off the reproductive base function of the symbiotic virus in the meat ball, and then started the cell division acceleration stimulator.

Meatball cells divide rapidly, with an average of one generation in 2 hours.

After 86 hours, the flesh ball cells that had completed 43 generations of division finally collapsed and died completely.

"Subtract the 50 splits and the 3 reverse splits, and finally add 39 splits." Huang Fan was lost in thought while calculating the data.

"Team Leader Huang, this is a condition of germ cells and brain cells."

Huang Fan received the data report, and as expected, although reverse splitting delayed telomeres and restored youth, a price must be paid.

The cost is reproductive cells and brain cells.

Germ cells are reflected in the following: after reverse division is completed, once offspring are produced, the result is that the offspring will 100% have genetic defects.

Brain cells are reflected in the overall degradation of brain function, memory loss, mental illness, mental retardation, etc.

Huang Fan put down the report and lamented: "Sure enough, the laws of nature are the most difficult to break. If you want to live forever, you have to pay a price."

Other researchers were also in a depressed mood. Just now they thought they had found a way to extend their lives, but in the end they were in vain.

In fact, the lizard people's divine blood potion is an evolutionary route to a certain extent, but the new humans disdain this opportunistic approach.

Because the fusion of the divine blood potion is a cross between a disguised human and a Nibelung, thereby gaining part of the Nibelung blood advantage.

Judging from the research on captured lizardmen, the life span of lizardmen is generally about 370 to 390 years, which is equivalent to three times that of old humans and 2.5 times that of new humans.

No wonder those in the Illuminati flock to it, especially those in the old human elite, who don't want to hold power and wealth forever.

Human beings are human beings, and if they lose their bloodline, they might as well be completely destroyed.

Huang Fan, full of distracting thoughts, suspended his research work, sorted out the previous research data, and then wrote a paper and posted it on the internal network.

The Life Sciences Research Institute and biologists on Blue Star quickly saw this paper.

The terrible sequelae on the paper were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on everyone.
