Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 318 Gene Editing Project
The new technologies of two invention systems, one combat system, and two individual strengthening systems cost Li Lin 10 skill points in total.

And the basic pre-skills of the three different routes were upgraded from lv8 to lv12, which cost him a total of 12 skill points.

Currently, Li Lin has 24 skill points left, and there is no need to spend money to upgrade skills for the time being.

Just after adding skills, a lot of knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind almost instantly.

Fortunately, he had already drank the "activity enhancer" before, and all aspects of his body's quality had been further improved, but he did not experience the same discomfort as before.

Afterwards, Li Lin quickly sorted out the newly acquired knowledge.

"Quantum theory" is pure theoretical knowledge, which introduces the principles of quantum-related fields, but basically it is just "on paper".

However, relying on this technology alone, Li Lin can greatly improve the computing power of computers and brains, and it can also be applied to the communication level, thereby expanding the scope and speed of communication.

As for communication security and encryption, there is no need to consider it at this stage.

In addition to "quantum theory", Li Lin is most concerned about the "genetic engineering" of the individual strengthening route.

He uploaded the technology of "Zero Element Synthetic Materials" to Brain's database, and asked it to arrange related production lines.

With more advanced new materials, in order to make up for the vacancy in the capital chain and avoid capital problems, Li Lin decided to start selling various types of compressed materials that he did not use.

And the mechanical engineers who have been castrated for many functions and can only be used as coolies will also be listed under the name of the Gilaman family, and will be sold by scheduled production and delivery.

There is no need to worry about the work of the workers, because the price of a low-configuration mechanical engineer is several times that of a low-configuration power armor.

Even adding the cost of food, clothing, housing and salaries of the workers, and equipping each of them with a set of power armor, it still cannot compare to the cost of replacing mechanical engineers.

It is precisely because of this that Li Lin adopted this method of scheduled production and sale.

Moreover, this is actually his intention.

Otherwise, the Shuangcheng, which has just been stabilized, will once again generate new social conflicts due to the problem of unemployment, leading to a sharp drop in stability.

But even so, those big families who have seen the functions of the normal version of the mechanical engineer will fight to buy the low-profile version of the engineer.

According to Li Lin's prediction, on the one hand, those families may conduct research on mechanical engineers, and on the other hand, let them serve as guards who are not afraid of death, even if they no longer have weapon systems.

As for those families who tried to decipher the blueprint of the reverse derivation mechanical engineer, he didn't have the slightest worry about it.

Not only do other families have no similar technology at all, even if it can be cracked and researched, at least it will take decades.

In addition, for the sake of conservatism, Li Lin also set up a program for the mechanical engineer. When the mechanical engineer is forcibly disassembled or destroyed by external force, the mechanical engineer will start the self-destruct procedure.

"Self-destruction" is not an explosion, but burning all the key parts inside the mechanical engineer, preventing others from taking advantage of it.

After completing the corresponding arrangements, Li Lin went to the basement of Gilaman's mansion.

It was originally an explosion-proof room and a training ground.

However, under his arrangement and Karina's support, part of it has been turned into a safe warehouse for storing star iron, and the other part has been transformed by him into a chemical and biological laboratory with a pure aseptic environment, equipped with various equipments that he created independently. Made of high-precision equipment.

Because there was not much time to study the various genetic technologies before, Li Lin planned to give Zac to himself first, and recently he cultivated a lot of cells for experiments.

From alchemy waste venom to a living body with human thinking, the birth of Zac was an almost impossible accident.

Because his cells have been cut off from the mother, they only have a certain degree of biological instinct consciousness, and they are very capable of dividing and regenerating. The production of the shimmer potion refers to the principle of this kind of cells.

Using this special cell is more productive than using mice for genetic research.

Of course, if you want to apply it to humans in the future, experimental tests on mice are still indispensable.

Li Lin transformed the clothes into a full set of protective clothing, carefully manipulated the robotic arm to cut a small piece of cells from the petri dish, and placed them on the workbench.

In order to avoid trouble, the genetic experiment project this time needs to be analyzed and assisted by the brain, and the equipment used is professionally customized and specially used for "genetic engineering" at the micro level.

Li Lin took a deep breath and immediately concentrated his attention. First, he took the sharp scalpel from the robotic arm, cut through the thick epidermis of the Zac cells, and then injected nanorobots into the experimental material.

This is the "protagonist" of genetic engineering at the micro level.

After nearly a day and a night of sleepless, non-eating and drinking research, Li Lin practiced the applied techniques of individual strengthening routes.

For example, "Neural Tissue Engineering" studies cell regeneration and enhances the development of neurons, axons and synapses.

Through this micro-engineering, if the original regenerative power of the Zac cells was "1", then its regenerative power has directly increased several times, reaching the level of "5-8".

Not only that, Li Lin also conducted a "genetic test" on it to determine its extremely special gene sequence, combined with related technologies of "gene map recording", and then cut its regenerative properties through "gene tailoring" and related tools , successfully separated this small piece of "flesh and blood" from "regeneration", and regarded them as "independent" existences.

The "gland adaptation" technology that is also unlocked at level 65 does not apply to Zach's cells, because he does not have the tissue "gland" at all.

However, through the genetic surgery of "gland adaptation", Li Lin can customize the environmental adaptability of organisms within a certain range by changing the characteristics of gland organisms.

For example, human beings without gills can directly absorb oxygen from the water through the lungs and filter out the water, and breathe underwater where the body can withstand the limit of water pressure.

Or, by modifying the characteristics of the lungs of the human body, the activity of the lungs and the ability to store oxygen are greatly enhanced, so that a person can only use the oxygen stored in the body for an hour or two when exercising vigorously.

However, if this technology is compared with the "mystery of evolution" and "genetic recombination" that can be learned later, it can directly make ordinary human beings move in the deep sea like the vastaya merman, then it is definitely not comparable.

But the advantage of "glandular adaptation" is that it requires less engineering and less modification to the human body, at least making people at the "human" level.

If "gene recombination" is used, the gene sequence will be completely recombined and changed.

If Li Lin were to evaluate it, he believed that the "human" who had undergone transformation had actually broken away from the human level, and had completely evolved into a new intelligent race.

The new technology was applied smoothly on the Zak cells, and he didn't feel that he was a failure because he only had knowledge but no practical operation.

But compared with the new technologies at level 70, the previous technologies are no different from "children's play house".

He simply ate something and took a short rest to replenish the exhaustion of his body and the mental exhaustion caused by concentrating all the time.

In the next few days, Li Lin performed two operations on Zach's cells: "gene editing" and "gene directed expression".

Even the large pile of Zac cells he had personally cultivated and stored was not enough, so he could only go to Heimerdinger and borrow some of the cells stored by the college, and finally he was able to complete the microscopic surgery of editing Zac's genes.

"--call!"

Li Lin wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead due to tension, and sat down on the chair with a long sigh, relaxing in a rare way.

The non-stop research for the past few days has made him extremely tired, and even the "twilight potion" that has the function of replenishing energy and refreshing can't hold on.

However, the rewards brought about by the hardships are also very impressive.

Now, Li Lin, who has mastered these two technologies, has been able to complete the gene editing project that took several days at the beginning but failed in a few hours.

In addition, according to the degree of understanding of Zac's cells, he can edit Zac's genes, allowing him to change from the appearance of a dark green "monster" to a normal human being.

If Zac wants to, Li Lin can also retain the ability to liquefy for him, and give his cells the ability to "mimeme", which can be changed into clothes, so that he will not let him become a "human" running wild on the street .

After synchronously uploading all the data of his experiment to the database of Zhinao, his spirit was completely relaxed, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.

This was the first time Li Lin was so tired after strengthening his body.

"In this way... I don't need to do some of the subsequent genetic modification..."

Before the muttering between half-dream and half-awake fell, he fell into sleep completely.
