Elf Simulator: The Super Power System starts with the Rockets

Another three days passed.

Fuyang and Tonegawa's research project on artificial cell eggs is still making steady progress.

To say that it is steady is actually an understatement, because since Dongyang provided an idea to use ordinary creatures to penetrate elves, the progress of this subject has been a big leap in the field of elf research.

The profession of researcher belongs to scientific and technical talents. Again, the success of this profession comes from 99% of sweat and 1% of inspiration. However, in science and technology, the latter is the most critical point. Without the latter Everything just stays in place.

Under Dongyang's deliberate guidance, Tonegawa conducted two experiments.

First, take a lobster and cut off five of its legs on one side.

Second, the somatic cells of the lobster were extracted and cultured in vitro.

After three days, the experiment made preliminary progress.

In the first experiment, a lobster whose legs were cut off began to grow again.

Regeneration of severed limbs is a very common phenomenon in the biological world, but it is basically relatively low-level species. Large reptiles, mammals, and birds do not have this ability. Humans can never regenerate a finger after it is cut off. It may grow back.

However, in contrast, as intelligent creatures, most of the elven species are not among them.

Like grass elves, if you cut off the branches and leaves growing on their bodies, they will grow back soon.

Based on the current research experience of previous researchers.

This is because the cells of elves have the ability to redifferentiate, which is not as complete as that of humans.

The same is true for lobsters. The expression of this part of the gene is very similar or even the same as that of elves.

This increases the feasibility of Dongyang's idea. If lobster genes are injected into elves, their fusion success rate will be higher than that of other species.

The second experiment directly broke Tonegawa's cognition and opened a new door for him.

According to electron microscope observations, the somatic cells of lobsters cultured in vitro began to divide themselves again after being given a suitable artificial environment.

And as Dongyang said, there is no limit to their division. There is no sign of wear on the telomeres under the microscope!

"It's incredible!"

Tonegawa exclaimed.

I discovered something new and was as happy as a [-]-pound middle-aged child.

"You can look closely and it's because there's something called telomerase in the body cells of lobsters that repairs and lengthens frayed telomeres."

Dongyang said from the side.

"Such enzymes actually exist in human and elf cells, but when the cells mature, their activity will be inhibited and tightly regulated. When the cell disease turns into cancer cells, they will be activated and participate in the process. Malignant transformation.”

A telomere is a segment of DNA at the end of a chromosome.

The DNA arranged on the line determines the characteristics of the elf, such as the elf's height, hair color, and even the irritability or gentleness of the individual personality.

The so-called heterochromatic elves come from this.

Except for cancer cells, telomerase in elves is temporarily activated only when they evolve.

Kirulian, Xiaoxue's personality changes every time she evolved were actually a genetic mutation caused by environmental influences, and telomerase played a role in it.

It is more obvious that the body shape of the elf will also change during evolution. At this time, the cells are increasing in value uncontrollably, just like cancer cells.

When evolution stops, the telomerase in the elf's body will be inhibited again. At this time, the elf's body, appearance and even personality will stabilize and will not change again.

"So, the reason why the cell differentiation of lobsters is not affected is because the telomerase in the cells is always in a permanent active state?"

Tonegawa's expression became more and more excited.

After all this time, the research has finally made some progress.

As long as the gene expression related to telomerase activity in lobsters is clearly studied, and then injected into the elf's body for fusion, the problem of the cloned elf's lifespan will be solved.

It seems that we are only one step away from the research and creation of artificial cell eggs for cloning elves.

"Don't be too happy yet. How to extract the lobster's gene for telomerase activity and inject it into the elf. This step is the biggest difficulty."

Dongyang shook his head.

"The immune system of elves is very powerful and will eat up any 'unrecognized' foreign substances. I am afraid that the lobster genes will be directly erased as soon as they are injected into the cells of the elves."

Dongyang remembered a biological experiment conducted by a foreign college student in his previous life.

That guy compiled the contents of the Bible into genes and injected them into his body. It didn't take long for pus to ooze and become inflamed. Apparently, the thing was eaten directly by white blood cells.

After hearing what Dongyang said, Tonegawa's excited expression gradually cooled down.

"It would be nice if I could have a few more helpers."

Tonegawa sighed.

The progress of human civilization is essentially a process of making progress, and this is even more obvious in scientific research.

They are still short of manpower and talent.

Dongyang also knows this, but it's a pity that he doesn't have much time.

Since he persuaded Tonegawa to surrender and become his subordinate, Tonegawa has been devoted to scientific research, and his career in the Game City Casino has naturally been taken over by Dongyang.

In other words, Dongyang now has to take care of the entire first floor.

I usually have to train and take care of the elves.

Where is the time?

The famous inventor Edison was also poor at the beginning and started with technological inventions. However, as time and career developed, he later became incapable of doing anything else and eventually handed everything over to the rear team. He himself became a capitalist and gradually became a capitalist. Turned into a vampire with the gimmick of an inventor.

Leaders are not that easy to do, and Dongyang can only occasionally come to Tonegawa's laboratory to inspect Tonegawa's research.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, it was his subordinate Murano.

"Section Chief, President Fujiwara, please come."

Murano said respectfully.

"Oh, I see."

Dongyang nodded.

After changing his clothes, before going out, he deliberately used the simulator to detect good or bad luck.

Looking at the above results, Dongyang's mind flashed, thinking of the difficulties of the elf research project he and Tonegawa conducted, and he immediately thought of a solution.

After leaving the door, we took the elevator and walked for a while before arriving at President Fujiwara's office.

Opening the door, I saw Kaiji Fujiwara dressed formally and waiting inside.

"sit."

Fujiwara smiled and looked at him.

Dongyang nodded and sat down following Fujiwara's instructions.

It had been a long time since he had such a formal conversation with Fujiwara since he passed the white assessment and became the junior cadre section chief.

After both parties were seated, Fujiwara didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"I heard that three days ago, when the organization was short of manpower, you stepped forward and blocked the mid-level cadres from the Galaxy team by yourself."
