Quadratic Element from Zero

Xiao Gucheng looked up at Qiye and said, "Why are you here..."

"I happened to be passing by, and I saw Xueca waiting here, so I just accompany her..."

Qiye waved his hand and said, "By the way, I heard Xue Cai said you didn't investigate that teacher Jie? What was the result?"

"Well, I asked Shallow Onion to help me find it, and I probably determined a place related to Western Europe..."

Xiao Gucheng nodded and said, "The research institute named Skelt Pharmaceuticals, whose head office is located in Luotan Lingchia, mainly researches the use of artificial life forms.

Experimental new drugs.The institute closed two years ago, and now it seems to be the mortgaged property of creditors.I'm going to check it out tomorrow..."

"tomorrow……"

Qiye nodded, looked at Ji Hii Shelley and said, "Be careful with yourself, safety is the most important..."

Ji Hiiragi nodded and said, "Well, I see, Qiye..."

"Um……"

Qiye looked at the sky and said, "The matter is over, I'll take you back, it's getting late..."

Hearing that, Gu Gucheng and Ji Hiiragi Xuecai nodded.

The next day, because the morning class was Nangong's English class that month, Xiao Gucheng postponed the departure time.

At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Ji Hiiragi Xueca and Xiao Gucheng arrived at Beiyu.

Beiyu - Research Institute Street in the North District of Xianshen Island, where research institutes of various companies are established in rows.

In the corner of Miku-style street, which is the most artificial island in the island, there is the ruins of the research institute.

The four-story building is almost cuboid in shape.

Perhaps to protect the secrets, there are very few windows, so there is not much sense of occlusion that the doors and windows are closed.

If criminals are looking for a stronghold, this is a natural environment.

"Is that the research institute of that pharmaceutical company?"

Ji Hiiragi Yukina stuck her head out from the blind spot of the street tree and said with a wary face.

Xiao Gucheng nodded and said: "After the parent company evacuated, the research institute seems to be closed, but I heard that the whole building was taken as a mortgage, so I think the inside

The equipment remains the same.The same goes for the adjustment equipment of artificial life forms. "

Ji Hiirah Yukina said with a serious face: "The adjustment equipment for artificial life forms... It is completely suitable in terms of conditions."

Artificial life is the general term for life created by biochemical technology.

The decisive difference between them and synthetic organisms is that even the genetic unit is completely designed under human manipulation, despite the high technical difficulty, the freedom of design

is also relatively large.

The original method of making artificial life forms is said to have been established in the sixteenth century.In order to create cheap labor, or make it a good companion for mankind,

This type of research has continued over the years under various hands.

As a result, however, artificial life forms are not widely available among the general public.

There are said to be two main reasons.

One is an ethical issue.

Creation of life is the act of human beings stepping into the realm of God, that is, the creator, and there has been a deep-rooted backlash centered on the religious world.In addition is

Whether the human rights of the created artificial life body should be recognized, there is still a fierce debate on this point, and no conclusion has been reached so far.

The other one is simply a matter of manufacturing costs.

Whether it is to be used as a labor force or put into the battlefield as a soldier, the manufacturing method of artificial life forms is too delicate and too expensive.through

Replicating technology using real humans is overwhelmingly cheap and hassle-free.

Therefore, it is said that almost no one is currently making artificial life bodies, and the number of scientists who study it has also been greatly reduced.

But even now, there is one area where artificial life is thriving as an exception.That is the application of artificial life technology for medical development.

Artificial organisms that can artificially change the genetic structure are most suitable for clinical trials of new drugs or research on immune antibodies, and are in the great sense of making medical progress.

Under the title, it can also quiet the criticism of ethics to a certain extent.

For this reason, almost all major pharmaceutical companies have equipment for manufacturing and researching artificial life in their own companies.

This research institute of Skelt Pharmaceuticals seems to be one of such pharmaceutical research facilities in the past.

"...I don't seem to see anything from here."

Ji Hiiragi Yukina took out the silver-white long spear from the guitar case, waved it as if it was cut off, and walked towards the building.

"Hey! Ji Hiragana! Wait for me..."

Seeing Ji Hiiragi Xuecai who was leading the way, Xiao Gucheng hurriedly followed.

Approaching the entrance of the research institute, of course the entrance of the research institute is locked, and the entrance and side doors of the floor-to-ceiling windows are firmly locked by thick chains.

Living.

The cheap lock was covered with reddish-brown rust, indicating that it had not been used for a long time.
