Chapter 133 The Direction of the New Prosthetic Body
Lille has indeed found a genius - he was just thinking that he was lucky, but it turns out that Hammond is the one who made the profit!
Jurassic Zoo was already riddled with debts, and it was actually involved in lawsuits - the person he was suing was actually the one who made the movie!
Lille wouldn't believe it if they could sustain this situation for nine years without any ability.
This genius immediately thought of a big operation to bankrupt the original zoo, and then merged the original physical assets into Bloom Company.
Generally speaking, this operation is not uncommon, but it requires operational experience to figure it out, which saved Lille a lot of effort.
In the future, the biology laboratory will gradually move to the original Jurassic Park, and the original zoo will gradually become a real biology laboratory.
The whole process was taken care of by the excited Hammond - if there is anyone in the world who can recreate dinosaurs, he thinks it must be the Osborne Group.
But the Osborne Group doesn't like this kind of project at all, and they have their own plans.
Hammond himself also knows what he is capable of. In fact, if he hadn't had this opportunity, he planned to sell the zoo next year and run away and find a job in a company.
After 10 years of persistence, it’s time to accept my fate.
But now it's different - his chance has come!
He was originally the kind of person who would pursue an ideal and pursue it. Now that he sees hope, he works even harder.
Now someone is taking care of the finances - or rather, the company's affairs are being taken care of.
But when it comes to finance, Lille has prepared supporting company management software, which basically will not let the company out of control.
Now it's time to move on to the question of the Lizard Serum.
"Iguanas are herbivores, which means that the DNA we inserted not only makes them stronger, but also makes them learn to eat meat. This effect may be amplified in humans.
Unexpected methylation segments appeared in the gene, which may have altered the iguanas' herbivory. But we'll never know what that would look like in humans. "
After an afternoon of observation, Connors came up with an answer that made him extremely disappointed.
The modified iguana is now full and looks relatively stable.
It seems that within a short period of time after DNA injection, the cells are in urgent need of various nutrients, which makes them feel hungry.
For iguanas, they behave much more docilely when they are full, just like tigers and other predators.
Hungry state and satiety state are two different states.
But what if the carnivorous gene appears in humans?
Should they conduct human experiments?
Fortunately, Lille has already volunteered in another world and recorded his biological signs and models - thanks to biotechnology, they are really good people.
Lear pretended to think about it and began to enter data into the computer.
Connors cast a confused look: "What are you doing?"
".I performed a decay calculation, using myself as a model. The state after injecting the drug will be like this."
Professor Connors is confused again--
Why is it that every time Leal touches the computer, he doesn't understand anything he says?
Can such a thing be calculated?
Yes, they have decay rate algorithms - but biological research is such that it is always full of surprises and almost impossible to calculate, so you have to rely on experiments.
How does Lille calculate it?
Connors looked at the data suspiciously.
The DNA model is too real to be made up.
But the state of this body is too abnormal to be true - Connors's face changed drastically!
Modeled after this creature, people will turn into monsters after injection!
The regeneration ability that he dreamed of was indeed completely copied to the human body, but it would also turn the human body into a monster!
The lizard's visual cells, thick keratin scales and claws, and a large number of reptile muscle cells that combine the superior characteristics of various reptiles collectively appear, with high strength but low precision.
Even a tail!
In other words, after injecting this medicine, people will indeed gain incredibly powerful regeneration abilities, but the price is to turn into a large lizard!
And the regenerated arm will be completely filled with lizard-like cells--
This dispelled Dr. Connors's idea:
Attenuating drugs activate this section of DNA in the short term. In the long term, the improved DNA is methylated. In the longer term, cell division and differentiation, the methylated fragments will further disappear.
In appearance, it will allow people to have the ability to regenerate at a high speed within a short period of time after injecting the drug, and complete the regeneration of severed limbs. In the long term, except for the ability to regenerate at a high speed for a period of time after the drug is injected, it will not actually occur. There are so many differences from the original.
But judging from Lear's modeling, methylated DNA also has a quite serious epigenetic response, causing people to go berserk and eager to activate the lizard DNA again.
Once the DNA goes from overmethylation to the regression stage, the person will change back, but the limb filled with lizard cells will also disappear!
In other words, this injection will make people more like lizards than humans, and the safety mechanism it sets will almost never work.
He sat slumped in the chair, a little at a loss, and murmured:
"Methylated DNA is indeed the source of the rage in experimental subjects. This drug will make people more like lizards than humans.
When the drug works on reptiles, we get a super lizard, but that makes no sense when it's used on humans."
Lille frowned - obviously, this result hit Connors hard.
Peter on the side was startled: "But Professor, have you seen the recent news? There was a Spider-Man on TV, and that guy didn't turn into a humanoid spider either?!"
Connors was also stunned for a moment, but immediately said: "I've seen the news. It's not that he is called Spider-Man, but he uses the same technology as ours."
Peter also discovered this problem - yes, how could he be sure that the two used the same technology?
But Lille had no intention of persuading Connors from this angle——
“Professor Connors, we have made progress, not setbacks, and you have to brace yourself—assuming, assuming someone is immune to the rage.
What will happen when he injects the drug and a large amount of body damage occurs? "
Connors smiled bitterly: "I guess you mean it's based on you? I can see the basis of this modeling.
Assuming you are not affected by sanity, you will also turn into a lizard. "
"What if my cells die very quickly during this process? Almost allowing me to maintain my human form?"
"That's almost impossible." Connors shook his head, "In that case, unless you are in the flames, but in that case,
Once your body's stored nutrients and energy are insufficient, you will be burned to death, and the flames are uncontrollable. "
Just when Lille was about to add something, he saw Connor paused.
Then I immediately became a little ashamed.
"Lille, I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
Yes, the experiment failed and Connors would just remain one-armed.
But Lille is about to die!
"It's okay Professor, I just want you to stay calm and professional. So the answer?"
Connors thought about it seriously and said: "If this kind of controllable loss really occurs, the division and differentiation of lizard cells can be controlled within a certain range.
It is indeed possible for the experimenter to remain human, but the probability of the cells becoming cancerous increases exponentially - especially yours.
Your cells contain trace amounts of radioactivity! The probability of cells becoming cancerous is much higher than that of ordinary people. "
All cells have the potential to become cancerous, so the more times a cell divides, the more likely it is that cancerous cells with faulty DNA expression will appear.
Factors such as radiation, viruses, chemicals, etc. will increase the probability of cancer. The combination of the two will greatly increase the risk of cancer.
But for Lille, this is still not unacceptable.
"That means I can recover?"
Connors nodded: "Theoretically, as long as you keep injecting and control cell loss, you can appear in front of everyone with the appearance of a healthy person.
but."
Connors wants to say is it worth it?
But then I thought about it, Lille only had half a year to live.
Even if there is really a risk of cancer. Connors immediately calculated on the computer:
"Even if there is a real risk of cancer, your life expectancy is more than 4 years, and cancer may appear after a year and a half.
I do seem to be a little emotional. We can also adjust the effect of the medicine to extend this time! "
Mathematics doesn't lie.
Emotionally, Connors felt that this was a failed experiment, but rationally——
This turned out to be a major breakthrough!
Of course, all this needs to be based on what Lille said.
And Lille laughed: "Look, let me tell you, this is a major breakthrough."
This doesn't just work for Lille - the depletion of cells can be artificially created.
The side effects of biotechnology's pain-killer drugs are exactly causing degeneration of the nervous system.
As for going berserk, in fact the real impact on ordinary people is very limited. In the movie, the main reason why it is so harmful is that the person who injected the drug was Professor Connors.
Under the influence of the berserk gene, his brain came up with the idea of long live the lizard people, and began to spread the lizard serum--
But ordinary people neither know that this is lizard serum, nor do they know how to make the serum.
Even if you really go crazy, it's almost like cyberpsychosis in a sense.
In the final analysis, it comes down to comparison - if a lizardman like Connors appears in this world, he will be punished, but in the cyberpunk world, everyone knows that pretending to be a prosthetic body will make you crazy, so you have to pretend.
Moreover, serum can be used for more purposes besides human injection.
Perhaps Hammond and Matt have gone through the legal process, or perhaps Connors is truly willing to serve Lille, and Lille has also received a prompt from the system.
[Biological laboratory has been established]
It's time to develop new technologies.
