NO.349 Somatic cell transplantation reprogramming
There is a saying on the Internet that is very good, life is like a slap. If you can’t resist, then enjoy it.
The Tesla Baron now has such a mentality. He has been completely scared by Zhang Heng's forces. Every time he faces Zhang Heng, he feels a deep sense of powerlessness. He nods bitterly and says, "Hiss Zhang Heng, all the eyes and ears of Hydra are for you to dispatch. What are you going to do next?"
"I need the cells of Thor and other players with superpowers in the Avengers." Zhang Heng smiled slightly, "I think this is not difficult for Hydra."
"Indeed." Baron Tesla nodded, "With our Hydra's pawns in S.H.E.L.D., to obtain their somatic cells, you only need to be able to obtain their hair and oily skin. But..."
"But what?" Zhang Heng glanced at Baron Tesla indifferently. Suddenly, Baron Tesla felt a chill all over his body. He forced a smile, "I know what you want to do. Don't you just want to try cloning? But let me regret to tell you that your ideas will inevitably not be realized."
"Reason?" Zhang Heng looked neither sad nor happy, he was not angry because of Baron Tesla's rebuttal, nor was he depressed by gains and losses. He was only calm, which made Baron Tesla unable to grasp Zhang Heng's character.
"I think you should understand the steps to generate cloning people, right?" Baron Tesla said. When he saw Zhang Heng not agreeing, he coughed and continued, "You should understand that the so-called cloning is actually 'somatic cell transplantation and reprogramming'. It is not difficult to obtain the somatic cells of those superheroes, but don't forget, why have Thor Thor, Hulk Hulk, and Captain America Steve been 'copied' by Captain America?"
"You mean, it will be difficult to copy them?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"It's more than just the difficulty. It's not a project that humans can complete." Baron Tesla smiled bitterly, "Simply put, as early as the last century*00s, the emergence of the cloned sheep Dolly ignited the imagination of cloners. But you also know what happened later that unlike those lower lives, the level of primate life forms is higher. Because of this, the somatic nuclei of primate life is difficult to transform into egg nuclei, and reprogramming cannot be carried out at all."
The so-called 'somatic cell transplantation and reprogramming' means that the somatic cell nucleus needs to be transplanted into egg cells without nuclei. The cytoplasm of the egg cells changes its operating mode, just like a computer program has been re-written.
There was once a fable. There was an ancient country with a sip of spring water called "Crazy Spring". Anyone who only drinks a sip of spring water will become a madman. All subjects in this country drank the madman water and fell into a state of madness. Only the king remained awake and did not drink the water, so he did not go crazy with it. As a result, the madman in the country felt that the king had a mental problem, so he tied up the king and tried every means to cure his madness. In the end, the king could not bear the torture of those therapies and could only take the initiative to drink the water of spring and be crazy with the people.
This principle can vividly reflect reprogramming. The nucleus is like a king, and the organelles are like subjects. First, they take away the nucleus of an egg cell, and then transplant the nucleus of the somatic cell that they want to clone into the egg cell. Then they process the egg cell with electric current and chemical agents, giving the egg cell an illusion that it has become a fertilized egg.
Therefore, the organelles asked the nucleus to become egg cells, and the nucleus that itself is somatic. After seeing the angry subjects, in order to save their lives, they had to make themselves really turn into egg cells' nucleus. This is the whole content of "somatic cell transplantation and reprogramming".
"Cafate can solve this problem?" Zhang Heng recalled the cloning process in his mind and suddenly asked back.
"I know, you are talking about protein phosphatase inhibitors." Baron Tesla nodded, "But you should understand that the higher the level of life form, the harder it is to be cloned. This is the eternal rule of the world. The Hulk and Thor superheroes, their life form is more than one level higher than humans?"
"Barl Tesla is right, Commander." Zora also appeared from the screen, "Even with my ability, I can't clone these superheroes."
"I understand." Zhang Heng sighed, but he said without any doubt, "But science is always moving forward in failure. Even if it really cannot be cloned, should we give up completely?"
"Since you insist, then it's as you wish." Baron Tesla said, "I will issue orders to let SHIELD undercover members take the opportunity to obtain the DNA of those people, but I can't guarantee that I can clone the other party's abilities."
"Of course." Zhang Heng nodded, turned around and walked outside, until he completely left the room, his last voice came.
"Next, it depends on you."
...
After walking out of the conference room of Hydra headquarters, Zhang Heng slowly raised a smile on his lips. He gently buckled his ears, as if he was talking to himself, "Yuehua 2, is everything Dr. Zora just said true?"
"Yes, Commander." Inside the ear, a micro chip attached to the ear canal made Yuehua's voice, "I monitor all Dr. Zora's thinking, and I can detect that he did not lie."
"That's good." Zhang Heng nodded, walked to the end of the metal passage, and suddenly turned a corner, heading deeper into the Hydra headquarters.
It was not until he arrived in front of a gate that Zhang Heng slowly stopped. The gate was newly built and looked as bright as new. Under the bright light, it emitted a strange metallic luster.
"Confirm identity, Commander, welcome your return." A sound came from an electronic screen on the gate. The next second, amid the rumbling friction, the gate slowly opened.
When Zhang Heng saw the scene inside the gate, he couldn't help but whistle. This was a huge square, with tunnel boring machines constantly working inside. People coming and going acted as workers on the construction site. The entire square was busy, looking very enthusiastic.
"About the new underground base project is under construction, the construction speed is not a problem. The only limitation is the source of materials. Even for Hydra, it is difficult to get enough materials in a short period of time." The voice in his ear said again.
"It's okay, hiding is the most important thing." Zhang Heng nodded, but couldn't help frowning slightly, "I have a vague premonition that if I was exposed in this world, I'm afraid I would fall into some kind of great crisis..." (.)
