1125 The crazy gene experiment that changed the world
"When will the inseminated egg cells be implanted into the mother? Do I need to be cultivated outside?" Liu Yijiu was not sure what the base's technology has developed in this regard. If it can simulate and cultivate embryos outside the mother, perhaps the cloning technology may be able to be realized.
Countries around the world study cloning technology, using the mother to implant embryos, and it is impossible to artificially simulate the maternal fertility environment.
Even in their era, this situation was not achieved.
The various situations in the mother's body are very complicated, and the culture medium is simply unable to be completely consistent with the various nutrient solution secreted by the mother's body.
"The implant must be completed within 12 hours, otherwise it is very likely to cause death! We have been studying for so many years and have studied the breeding environment of animals and humans for more than 100,000 times. There is no way to completely prepare the same nutrient solution as the parent environment..." Zhao Min was a little lonely. If she wanted to complete the cloning technology, the most important aspect was this. Liu Suzhi told her a lot back then, but she did not succeed.
"Don't you have to select these embryos? Or implant multiple embryos at once and then choose one?" The question raised by Liu Yijiu is quite professional.
Li Rui was eager to implant this insemination embryo into his stomach at one time, so that eight children could be born in one go.
There is one more than the Calabash!
Moreover, it is estimated that such an experiment will not be possible in the future, and Liu Yijiu will definitely not cooperate.
She had no idea that IVF needed to select embryos. If she made the choice after implanting into the mother and growing for a period of time, it would cause her to suffer a great sin. Therefore, Liu Yijiu asked such a question.
He was even more worried that Zhao Min would use the remaining embryos for other experiments.
"Twelve hours are enough for us to observe these egg cells that have just completed insemination and select. Therefore, we will choose three to implant into Li Rui's body. After a period of observation, we will use technical means to selectively retain one or two according to the development situation..." Zhao Min understood what Liu Yijiu was worried about, and looked at him and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will not conduct other experiments without obtaining your consent."
"I hope."
Liu Yijiu did not argue, he did not believe Zhao Min.
It’s not that I don’t believe in Zhao Min, but that I don’t believe that a crazy scientist still maintains his principles and sticks to his bottom line before facing a project that can make breakthroughs in his own field of research.
The development of human science and technology is often achieved through breakthroughs due to scientists' madness or accidents.
"Are you going to wait here until we complete all the analysis and leave after implanting?" Zhao Min was a little unhappy when she saw Liu Yijiu leaving.
Liu Yijiu nodded, especially when he saw that there was some transparent liquid left in the glass cup next to him, he was not completely relieved. "What are you going to deal with the remaining cells?"
Although it is not very energetic, before combining with egg cells, Zhao Min's team deliberately weakened these sperm cells that carry genetic genes.
Who knows if there is no treatment, will there be any other effect in the end?
Zhao Min was not angry, but picked up the small test tube containing some unknown medicine, poured all the remaining liquid into the glass, and handed the glass to Liu Yijiu, asking him to observe under the microscope by himself, "Don't you feel at ease now?"
Liu Yijiu passed through an electron microscope and saw that all the tadpoles inside stopped moving, and then he felt relieved.
"I hope you can preserve all these embryos well. Even if Li Rui gave birth to a child, no one knows whether to regenerate them in the future..." After the eight embryos were tried this time, there will be a few left. Liu Yijiu doesn't want his offspring to be used for experiments.
"Don't worry, the DNA of each embryo is different. It can be seen under the electron microscope. You have a good memory, observe it yourself, remember the special features of each cell..." Zhao Min didn't seem to be angry at all. Everything was to make Liu Yijiu feel at ease.
In the end, Liu Yijiu felt that nothing was missing, and then left with Li Rui.
After Liu Yijiu left, Zhao Min did not leave, but continued to put on a mask and shouted to an office next to her, "Hurry up!"
Several researchers wearing white coats, masks on their faces, and only their eyes exposed came in quickly.
"Resuscite these sperm cells immediately and inject nutrient solution!" Zhao Min's face became serious and he ordered the researchers.
A scientific researcher immediately took out a glass bottle from his pocket, which was filled with milky white liquid, walked forward, and poured the milky white liquid into the glass cup that originally contained Liu Yijiu's sperm cells.
The glass that became transparent soon turned milky white again.
"Pay attention to the vitality of these sperm cells, and when the vitality is restored, the experiment will begin. How are the egg cells collected by our volunteers checked? According to their respective numbers and various experimental conditions, immediately separate some of the sperm cells for insemination..." The entire laboratory began to become busy under the arrangement of Zhao Min.
At this time, Zhao Min smiled and took off her mask while muttering. "Boy, you're a little tender when playing with me. Fortunately, you are not a biological genetics person, otherwise it would be so easy to get experimental samples!"
Not far from the laboratory, there were more than a dozen beautiful women with different expressions. When they saw Zhao Min coming in, they stood up at the same time.
These are the volunteers Zhao Min recruited.
Their identities are the same as Li Rui, but they are not as good as Li Rui, who is in charge of the logistics department, so they cannot decide their own destiny.
"Finally, ask you if you are participating in this project. The project is very risky and it is very likely that you will not even have a life." Zhao Min did not have the kindness he had when he was with Liu Yijiu. "Of course, accepting the experiment, no matter whether it fails or succeeds, what I promise will have effect. Whether going abroad or staying in China, you can give you a brand new identity. You don't have to marry someone who has nothing to do with you, let alone monitor your husband..."
"Director Zhao, when will the experiment be carried out?" A tall woman with a delicate face asked Zhao Min calmly, "The experiment is completed, can we really get rid of everything we are now, including our children?"
"The children are from the base, so you naturally cannot take them away. Besides, if you take them away, how can you get married? After completing the experiment, we will use the surgery to repair the trauma caused by your child. You are still Yunying's unmarried girl." Zhao Min nodded.
These are all her carefully selected experimental mothers.
Basically, he is also the best among the last batch of personnel trained by the Logistics Department.
She did not say it was from the state, but from the base. But for these women who were loyal to the country, there was no difference between the base and the country. However, everyone still discovered the difference, which was the key to their hesitation.
"Okay, I'll participate. I'm just going to be pregnant!" The beautiful woman nodded and said, gritting her teeth.
Many other women are still hesitating.
Although they don’t know what genetic engineering is, and they don’t know that the child they are going to have is actually the child of a person they don’t know. At the same time, the experiment will prove the sequelae and side effects of raising, which is also unclear.
"If you don't participate in this experiment, your life will be destined. If you meet a good man, you can live your life. Of course, if you make a mistake..." Zhao Min hopes that everyone will be voluntarily because this experiment is related to the entire country.
This is just Zhao Min's own wishful thinking. At the same time, there are also the support of a group of bigwigs of the base management committee. The one with the greatest support is Liu Suxue, who is far away in Ukraine. He hopes that Liu Yijiu can leave more descendants.
He also cared very much about the selection criteria for the experimental mother.
Even, I have chosen beauties from all over the world overseas.
However, they are not sure whether the experiment will succeed and what consequences will eventually be caused.
Anyway, these experiments are carried out by judging.
"Director Zhao, when will the embryo be transplanted?" He was still the most beautiful woman who started talking.
"If you want, sign the agreement in your hands, transplant it in twelve hours, if it goes well, give birth to a child ten months later, and then according to the situation, from now on, at most two years, you can change into a new identity to live the life you want..." Zhao Min looked at the other women with a very ugly face.
Before, they all expressed their willingness, but when they came to an end, they began to hesitate.
"Of course, no matter what your choice, we will not force you. Although everything you have done for the country, we respect your own wishes..."
"I agree to participate!"
"I...I am willing to..."
In the end, more than ten, only four participated in the experiment.
"You know the confidentiality code better than me, so I won't emphasize it here. If you don't want to participate, please ruin this matter in your heart. You can leave, the base will arrange your husband for you." Although Zhao Min felt uncomfortable, she did not try to keep her.
She herself didn't know whether this kind of experiment could be successful.
The research related to Liu Yijiu's genes is also a continuation of the core body of the 619 project.
Chapter completed!
