Chapter 429 Cloning and Defects

In the life support training warehouse.

The heart of the cloned monkey is beating vigorously.

"Replace this heart with the monkey's original heart and see if there is any problem." Huang Haojie ordered.

"Okay." Zhao Zhangde complied. It is very simple to perform heart replacement surgery at the honeycomb base.

Outside the operating room, Huang Haojie watched several surgeons methodically perform heart replacement surgery on the monkey.

"Boss, if this rebirth factor continues, can a complete life be cloned?" Michelle asked.

"The cloning of the rebirth factor is a kind of asexual reproduction, but you need to continue to study whether it is possible to clone a complete creature." Huang Haojie actually knew that a complete creature could be cloned.

However, cloning creatures have a fatal shortcoming. This technology comes from parallel time and space—the Virus Era, but the Virus Era discovered a very strange phenomenon when cloning creatures.

This phenomenon is that the more advanced organisms, the shorter the lifespan of the clones. It seems that something is limiting the lifespan of the clones. They call this phenomenon "clonal syndrome".

However, combined with the quantum soul theory of the quantum era, Huang Haojie has some speculations about this so-called "cloning syndrome". He suspects that the lack of soul causes the accelerated decline of the body.

Why are the more advanced organisms more affected? But those clones such as insects have almost no change, almost the same as normal individuals.

Because the lower the living beings, their quantum souls are very weak, compared with the strength of the quantum souls of mammals, it is simply a world of difference.

The rapid birth of the rebirth factor can allow the clone to grow from a single cell to an 18-year-old adult in less than a week.

This kind of counterproductive growth is very likely to cause the quantum soul strength of the clone to be incomplete, or incomplete.

Clones in the virus era generally only have a lifespan of 2 to 3 years. After this time, the clones will become vegetative as if they were brain dead. If the vegetative state of the clones is maintained regardless of the cost, the body can be preserved for up to 5 to 6 years. about.

This is why Huang Haojie suspects that it has something to do with the strength of the quantum soul. At the same time, he also has a bold idea, as if using the technology of the quantum era and the virus era, maybe a different spark can be created.

After a while, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and Kenji Takahashi took off his mask and said:
"Chairman, the operation was very successful. We have successfully replaced the monkey's original heart with the cloned heart. The monkey has no problems for the time being. We need some time to observe other conditions."

"You can take advantage of this time to do more experiments, such as the cloning replacement of other organs, and the in-depth research on rebirth factors." Huang Haojie suggested.

"Yes, Chairman."

"Boss, can we conduct human cloning experiments?" Michelle asked suddenly.

Huang Haojie waved his hand: "The human cloning experiment will not be carried out for the time being. You can clone monkeys or chimpanzees, etc., first see if there is any problem, and then consider human cloning."

He obviously has concerns about the issue of human cloning, not just moral and ethical issues.

The more important reason is that it is not cost-effective. A cloned human can only live for 2 to 3 years after being produced, and the newly cloned human needs at least half a year of training before it can adapt to simple work.

In this way, producing a clone can work for less than 2 years, and can only do simple work, so what is the purpose of producing this kind of cannon fodder? It is more cost-effective to use the money to manufacture robots.

Huang Haojie is more optimistic about the application of cloned organ transplantation, artificial blood, cloned stem cells, artificial meat, and species protection.

Soon, more than a dozen research projects extended by the rebirth factor were established, and these research projects were established according to Huang Haojie's idea.

For example, the organ cloning project is divided into many small projects, including heart, liver, kidney, lung, eyeball, skin and so on.

If these projects are successful, many diseases will be cured.

5 month 27 day.

Huang Haojie once again launched the substitute robot at the hive base.

At this time, 5 days had passed since the birth of the rebirth factor, and the monkey that had undergone a heart transplant was already alive and kicking.

Huang Haojie handed it a banana, and the little monkey quickly snatched it and began to chew it.

"Chairman, the monkey's vital signs are almost the same as before, and no rejection has been found for the time being." Takahashi Kenji said while passing a document to Huang Haojie.

Huang Haojie opened the holographic file, flipped through it, and found that Takahashi Kenji and the others had done several experiments in the past few days, including liver, kidney, lung, and eyeball transplants.

"Are the monkeys in these cages other transplanted monkeys?"

"Yes, Chairman." Kenji Takahashi pointed to a monkey in a cage and said, "This is a kidney transplant, and this is a lung transplant..."

"Gaoqiao, if these monkeys have no problems within a month, they are ready to conduct human experiments." Huang Haojie ordered.

"Okay, Chairman." Takahashi Kenji nodded.

The subjects of these human experiments are death row prisoners, pirates, violent terrorists, etc. Anyway, these people are to be destroyed humanely, so it is better to let them contribute to mankind.

After visiting the organ cloning project, he came to the artificial blood, artificial stem cell, and artificial meat projects for investigation.

Artificial Meat Lab.

Inside a life-support training chamber, in a shaping mold, a piece of meat is being rapidly formed.

"Chairman, these are the artificial meat we cloned." Su Yong, the person in charge of the artificial meat project, introduced excitedly.

On the working table, there were six pieces of artificial meat samples. Huang Haojie even saw a piece of snowflake beef. When he picked up this piece of snowflake beef, he knew it was a piece of top-quality Kobe beef at a glance, because there was a special meat for him in Sun Country. A Kobe beef farm.

And this piece of artificial meat is almost exactly the same, with a light pink marble pattern, more real than real.

Picking up the scalpel on the side, he cut open the piece of artificial meat, and there was still a beautiful marble pattern inside.

"Exactly the same as real Kobe beef."

"Chairman, this artificial meat is actually the same as the real Kobe beef. From a biological point of view, the genes of this piece of beef are Wagyu genes. It is exactly the same in terms of nutrition, taste, appearance, and smell." Su Yong explained.

"Have you eaten?" Huang Haojie turned his head and asked in surprise.

Su Yong nodded and said, "I did eat it, the taste is exactly the same as the real thing."

"You're not afraid. This is an experimental product, and it hasn't been tested for safety. Don't mess around next time." Huang Haojie reminded.

"Chairman, don't worry. I know that this thing has no problem with the human body. If there is any problem, let me, the manufacturer, test it." Su Yong said confidently.

Huang Haojie was noncommittal, he did not agree with Su Yong's practice of defying the law by himself.

However, there is actually no problem with artificial meat, at least in the era of viruses, where humans have been eating artificial meat for decades, and there is still no problem.
