Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

Chapter 45 An iguana (please read~)

Cross-species genetics, simply put, is an idea to splice DNA from different species so that experimental subjects have the cellular capabilities of other species.

In fact, this type of technology was not uncommon in 2011. This type of technology had been used in the medical field in 1982, and even as early as the 90s, genetically modified tomatoes appeared on the US market.

But now, what Connors wants to study is something completely different - he wants to transplant the excellent genes of lizards into humans.

"I think this is feasible. At the Osborne Group, they have successfully created synthetic genetic spiders that combine the characteristics of various spiders, and are trying to develop more commercial uses based on that spider silk.

I just need to go one step further and transfer genes from high-quality gene carriers to people. "

There are many reptiles in Dr. Connors's laboratory, mainly lizards.

Qilushi's prosthetic eyes scanned, and Lille quickly found the names of these reptiles on the Internet. Most of them were common species, and the most numerous ones were geckos.

"But I'm now running into some trouble. I've designed a decay algorithm for clipping DNA.

We first integrate a large amount of DNA into the main experimental target, and the useless genes will be regularly disintegrated and methylated under the action of attenuating drugs, eventually leaving stable and usable integrated genes.

This idea actually comes from another old friend of mine and has been verified at the Osborne Group. "

"Dr. Richard Parker?" Leal also found this paper on the Internet, from Spider-Man's parents.

Connors showed a surprised expression: "Yes, but they were killed, and the Osborne Group wanted me to take over their couple's project resources."

Lear nodded slightly: "I guess the problem is that the decay rate is incorrect. Either complete failure leads to the failure of the integrated DNA, or uncontrollable aberrations occur in the experimental subject's genes."

"How do you know? I heard from Matt that you are an information technology expert, but"

"I made up for it last night."

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

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

As early as the mid-20th century, cross-species transgenic human experiments appeared. Whether it was converting animal DNA into humans, or transferring human DNA into animals, and cultivating usable human organs, it was a profitable business.

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

It is a pity that similar research reports either perished or remained in Chuwang during the massive power outage caused by Butmos.

The good news is that biotech has a lot of similar off-the-shelf technologies saved and put into use - the goals are clear.

After being shocked, Connors re-examined Leal, a partner who was originally a volunteer.

Lear continued: "I guess your original idea was to observe the DNA collapse phenomenon occurring in my body and find ways to use ionizing radiation to improve and correct this model."

"Well yes, you have already guessed it." Connors smiled bitterly, "But before that, I still lack a lot of things, look around."

Connors spread his hands, surrounded by various reptiles.

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

To complete this research, it is not enough to only understand molecular genetics. New hardware facilities must also be developed.

Connors needs people, needs more samples, needs money.

“I have no money, the funds given to me by the college are simply not enough, and I can’t even take the first step.

So far I have tried integrating DNA into a variety of common reptiles, but the target has always been unable to withstand the integration.

I have two guesses for improvement: one is to upgrade the DNA tailoring technology to reduce redundant DNA; the second is to improve the quality of the receptor.

I speculated that an iguana from the Lesser Antilles had a high probability of surviving as a genetic integrator, but I simply couldn't get the data.

Look down on me, this project is still in its early stages. "

After Dr. Connors finished speaking, he glanced at his desk. Leal followed his gaze and saw a document.It says "Osborne Group".

“The Osborne Group invited me to take over the Parkers’ research and promised me the best resources, and I could also see their results.

This will greatly speed up the progress, but "

Connors looked at Lear: "In this way, I have no right to decide the direction of the use of technology - you know, there is news that Norman Osborne cooperates closely with the military, and may even have joined a super A replica of Project Soldier.

I want to use this technology to save people, rather than letting politicians deceive a group of young men into burning, killing, and looting in foreign lands.

This is something I have done. "

Leal looked into Dr. Connors's eyes, snapped his fingers, and said confidently: "This question is very simple, Doctor, we can partner up."

"Lille. I want this too, but..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry, Professor." Lear raised a finger, "Yes, compared to the Osborne Group, I am a big poor guy.

But we have a common goal. I can guarantee that this technology will not be used for aggressive warfare. You also have the right to decide the direction of the use of technology.

Secondly, I can prove that - give me a few days, I can get you the DNA data of the Lesser Antilles iguana, and we can do data simulation first. "

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

Of course Leal couldn't say he had one on hand - the iguana Jack smuggled happened to be what Connors needed.

Because I wanted to avoid the limelight, I still had the smuggled goods in my hands and had not disposed of them.

Transferring an entire lizard is cumbersome, but just the data is no problem.

"I'm serious, Professor.

In addition, I will also give you more technical support and not too much money. "

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

The blond Professor Connors did not look so handsome, but rather bald.

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

Trapped by the dream, the only thing left in my mind was "get the money first and then talk about it".

However, Connors's problem is just an arm that cannot grow, while Lear's problem is the death that is chasing after him——
This young man is much calmer than him.

Connors looked at Lear blankly, then shook his head with a wry smile:

"I really get better as I live, so congratulations on your upgrade from volunteer to partner."

Perhaps due to the sudden change in mentality, Connors even cracked a joke.

Lille shrugged: "I also want to congratulate you. When you look back in the future, you will definitely be glad that you chose me."

Just when Lil finished saying this, the system prompt sounded in his head.

[Cross-dimensional contact has lasted for more than an hour]

[Technology Point-20]

[Current Technology Points: 320]

Leal's expression froze.

Damn the round-up mechanism.
