It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"So." Lu Yongchang said softly, with the corners of his mouth raised, "In my opinion, this experiment not only did not fail, but also achieved considerable success."

"It's just that we need to make simple adjustments to the experimental sequence."

"Prepare all the strengthening hormones first."

"Then……"

"Inject all the hormones at once to strengthen the mouse's body in all directions!"

Chapter 415 Successful expression of visceral omentum gene

Mao Zhengzhi was quite shocked by Lu Yongchang's proposal.

but,

Shock is shock.

He had to admit that although it was a bit simple and crude, it was the easiest experimental method to eliminate various negative situations.

After all, the body of a mouse is a whole.

The strengthening of a single organization can easily cause a series of chain reactions.

Like heart-strengthening hormones, the heart muscle is indeed greatly strengthened.

But the blood vessels were not strengthened accordingly.

The final result was that the aorta ruptured and the mice died.

Fortunately, this is what happened to the mice.

If in humans...

Mao Zhengzhi didn't even dare to think about that scene!

So, after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement with Lu Yongchang's proposal.

……

With the experience in the preparation of heart-enhancing hormones, the difficulty of preparing other types of hormones has dropped by a notch.

Therefore, Lu Yongchang continued the glorious tradition when he was on earth.

After handing over various tasks, he once again set his sights on another genetic engineering project.

Magna visceral omentum gene implantation project.

Unlike hormone projects, the technical content of this project has been greatly improved.

After all, they needed to implant Magna's gene into an adult mouse and get the gene perfectly expressed.

"Has the secondary compilation of the visceral omentum gene been completed?"

Lu Yongchang asked Mao Zhengzhi while walking towards another experimental platform.

"It was just finished."

Mao Zhengzhi quickly responded: "They are currently inspecting, and if there are no accidents, the experiment can begin immediately."

Lu Yongchang nodded, and quickened his pace again.

……

It is not difficult to perform gene editing on individual adult mice.

As early as the earth age, human beings have initially mastered related technologies.

CRISPR/Cas gene editing system.

CRISPR, which is a repetitive sequence in the genome of prokaryotes.

Viruses can integrate their genes into bacteria and use bacteria to complete gene replication.

Similarly, in the face of virus invasion, bacteria have also evolved a system called CRISPR-Cas9.

With this system, viral genes can be excised from the bacterial genome.

This is the immune system unique to bacteria.

Through the research on the CRISPR-Cas9 system, humans have successfully mastered the CRISPR/Cas gene editing system.

Through this precise and cheap gene editing system, human beings have initially realized the control of genes.

Over time, as of today, the technology has matured.

After completing a series of preparatory work, it can easily implant the target gene into the genome of the target organism.

For example, a guinea pig.

Another example is the human individual.

Of course, as of now, the technology of human gene editing is still a technological forbidden zone.

In other words, they cannot currently use this technology on humans.

But this does not hinder the experiment.

After all, the current experimental subjects are mice.

As for what to do after the experiment is successful, Lu Yongchang has already made preparations.

First of all.

He needs to submit the proposal to the Academy of Sciences and the People's Federation Council.

In order to ensure the safety of human civilization, this kind of "forbidden technique" level technology requires not only the permission of the Academy of Sciences, but also the consent of the parliament.

Even, when necessary, a referendum for all mankind will be held to vote.

Of course, as the chief scientist, he is confident of gaining the support of the Academy of Sciences.

only……

As for the parliament, it depends on Hong Qiming's ability.

"Professor, all preparations have been completed."

Mao Zhengzhi's voice interrupted Lu Yongchang's thoughts.

He shook his head, putting some worries in his mind behind him.

The experiment has not been successful yet, worrying about this is of no use.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, tubes of silver-white nanorobots were slowly injected into the experimental mice.

These hundreds of little white mice obviously don't know what has entered their bodies.

After breaking free from the shackles of the manipulator, they ran to a corner of the glass cage one after another, using food to relieve their panic.

Under Zero's control, these nanorobots started "invasion behavior" as soon as they entered the blood vessel.

They find the epithelial tissue and connective tissue of the target organ, and inject the Magna visceral omentum gene carried inside into each cell.

Under the action of the CRISPR/Cas gene editing system, these foreign genes were integrated into the genome of the mice without anyone knowing it.

Next, it is the process of waiting for the visceral omentum gene to take effect.

"Hopefully it works."

Mao Zhengzhi on the side stared at the little white mouse in the glass cage, and muttered to himself.

……

a few days later.

As soon as Lu Yongchang entered the gate of the laboratory, he heard a burst of cheers.

"professor!"

"Success!"

Mao Zhengzhi ran up to Lu Yongchang excitedly, reached out to hold his hands tightly, shook them vigorously and said, "Professor, we succeeded!"

Lu Yongchang was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted.

A touch of joy rose in his eyes: "The visceral omentum gene was successfully expressed?"

Mao Zhengzhi nodded repeatedly, and reached out to turn on the holographic projector beside him.

"Just now, we made a small incision in the abdomen of a small white mouse, and conducted a simple observation with the help of an endoscope."

"This is what the endoscope sees."

After the words fell, a red and white image appeared in front of him.

The red ones are naturally the slowly wriggling viscera of the mice.

Judging from the shape, it should be its intestines.

Different from the normal smooth-looking intestine, there are light white meridian-like substances spreading on the outer intestinal skin of this mouse.

These meridian-like substances are connected to each other to form a complete omentum, which perfectly wraps the intestinal tissue of mice.

This scene is exactly the same as the anatomy diagram of Magna's internal organs in the materials of Proxima Centauri!

It's just that the meridian-like substance on the surface of Magna's internal organs is thicker and more obvious.

Considering the size of the mice, this slight difference is acceptable.

"How is the condition of the mouse?"

Lu Yongchang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

Compared with the successful expression of genes, he paid more attention to the physical condition of these mice.

If the gene causes abnormalities in the body of the mice, it is clearly not a successful experiment.

"So far, no obvious abnormalities have been found!"

Mao Zhengzhi blushed slightly, and said word by word.

Chapter 416 7.1g Equivalent Gravity

Lu Yongchang's originally calm expression changed slightly because of Mao Zhengzhi's words.

There is no abnormality in the physical condition...

Although the observation time is not long, it is only a few hours at best.

But it is a good signal.

There was excitement in his eyes, and his speech speed was a little faster.

"How does it perform in a high-gravity environment?"

"Has the visceral capacity increased?"

"Little white mouse..."

Hearing this series of questions, Mao Zhengzhi couldn't help but smile wryly.

He shook his head and spread his hands helplessly: "Professor, I haven't had time to conduct the experiment yet."

"..." Lu Yongchang's expression was suffocated, and he smiled to hide his embarrassment.

I seem to be in a hurry.

"cough!"

He coughed lightly: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Get ready. If all the indicators are normal, start the gravity chamber test immediately."

three hours later.

The mice completed various physical examinations.

After confirming that the newly grown visceral omentum did not affect their physical condition, Lu Yongchang gave the order to start the experiment.

In the glass cage, the mechanical arm that had been silent for a long time started working again.

After a few minutes.

More than a hundred mice were sent into a small gravity chamber.

Compared with the standard gravity chamber used by humans, the small gravity chamber has almost no difference except for its smaller size.

Even, because of the reduced size, the performance of the small gravity chamber far exceeds that of the standard gravity chamber—its highest equivalent gravity can even reach as high as 10g.
