Chapter 271: Biochemical modulation

"No, no, we have basically abandoned the practice of drilling holes in the spine, injecting medicine or implanting chips-this technology is too backward, basically, it was a product of more than ten or twenty years ago , We now mainly use the method of molecular penetration to directly deliver the drug to the target organ precisely."
Xie Xiaolei regained his demeanor and smiled, "Please, I will take Meng Chao to visit our modulation laboratory."
From the surface, "Ling Chuang" is just an unassuming seven-story building and ancillary buildings.
But underground, it has a huge laboratory.
In addition to modulating canine and feline biochemical beasts.
There are also giant sandworms with a length of more than thirty meters, where they are transformed and implanted with artificial hormone capsules and various control chips.
"Don't worry, the giant sandworm is a very gentle guy."
Seeing Meng Chao staring intently at the modulation platform, the giant worms layered on top of each other, Xie Xiaolei explained with a smile, "In fact, the lower-level monsters, no matter how grim and terrifying their appearance, the lower their risk factor, Because they don’t think, they don’t have consciousness, they don’t know what they are doing, and it is even difficult to distinguish the difference between humans, other monsters, spiritualized plants, rocks, and fortresses. It is just under the guidance of instincts that they devour, swallow, and devour.
"So, as long as we can release special biological currents or hormones to stimulate their nerve clusters, we can control their instincts and let them serve human beings.
"It is a flesh-and-blood machine that will never harm the owner."
Meng Chao nodded.
He remembered.
In front of him, Mr. Xie is a genius for advertising.
In the initial stage of "Ling Chuang", in order to verify the safety of biochemical beasts, he once personally starred in a very famous advertisement.
In the advertisement, he smiled and stood in the big mouth of a giant sandworm, holding a glass of fine wine gracefully, preaching the superiority of gene modulation technology, and even stimulating the mouth of the giant sandworm with an electric stick.
Juhua Sandworm opened his mouth obediently, and did not swallow him.
This advertisement caused heated discussion and also opened up the situation for "Ling Chuang".
However, today Meng Chao's focus is not on giant sandworms, but on small and medium-sized biochemical beasts raised by the family.
"Here, please, the three biochemical beasts that happened this time belong to our third-generation products, which have a certain combat effectiveness and extremely high intelligence, so we also pay special attention to safety."
Xie Xiaolei said, "The modulation of this generation of products is mainly divided into three steps. First, the use of genetically engineered nucleases, that is,'molecular scissors', generates site-specific double-strand breaks at specific locations in the genome to induce organisms. Repair double-strand breaks by non-homologous end joining or homologous recombination.
"This repair process is error-prone and leads to targeted mutations-this targeted mutation is gene editing.
"Through gene editing, we can combine the characteristics of dozens of canine monsters, knock out the gene fragments that control their desire to hunt and kill, and then implant some genes of more gentle herbivorous monsters. By experimenting, you will get a pet dog that is loyal to its owner and adapts to the biochemical beasts of human society."
"Ok……"
Meng Chao thought deeply, "It sounds complicated, will it be very unstable?"
"How come, this is a very mature technology. In the age of the earth, even primary school students can conduct experiments related to gene knockout, not to mention that we have come to such a new world full of aura and constantly changing, just half a century. , Our pace of exploring the mysteries of genes is more than 500 years ahead of the earth age!"
Xie Xiaolei said, "And, the genes of strange monsters...how to say, we found a lot of cut, knocked out and encapsulated traces in the gene chain of many wild monsters, they are not like pure beasts, but like It’s a product in the laboratory, of course, a long time ago, maybe it was a laboratory thousands of years ago."
Meng Chao Road: "What?"
Xie Xiaolei spread his hand and said: "There was a very advanced ancient civilization in the outside world. This is no secret. Since human beings have thought of using genetic technology to explore the maximum potential of animals and plants, there is no reason why the ancient civilization of the outside world can't think of it.
"The truth here is left for historians and archaeologists to study slowly. I just want to tell you that the monster was originally a very easy to modulate creature, otherwise, you think that the agricultural university controls the beast. How fierce and fierce fighting biochemical beasts, how did they come about?
"Of course, gene editing is just our first program. Next, when the biochemical animal is still bred in the mother, we will inject various hormones and drugs in advance to ensure that its brain grows faster-brain volume is not a problem. The problem is the sulcus.
"Scientific research proves that brain capacity is not the key to determining wisdom, and the number of brain gullies and circuits is only important. After we modulate canine biochemical beasts, brain circuits can be 300% more than wild canine monsters, enough to make They master the intelligence of children seven or eight years old, can understand some simple commands of the host, and of course, also know how to choose, in order to survive in human society more comfortably.
"The injection of the medicament is not one time, but it will be carried out 19 times throughout its modulation cycle. In addition to promoting brain growth, there is also an inhibitory hormone that can minimize the ferocity that it has no longer existed. Beasts are more harmless than pet dogs."
Xie Xiaolei said here, paused.
Obviously, he was stunned by the events of the past two days, and his mood was not as good as his expression.
When I saw the "own person" from the Agricultural University, I couldn't help but say, "Say what I shouldn't say, even the pet dogs of the earth age, there are endless number of injuries, and I haven't heard of a pet dog out of control incident. , You must kill all the dogs, right?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Xie, do you mean that this may be the product of "spiritual" modulation out of control?"
Xie Xiaolei blushed and hurriedly defended: "No, no, I just said, we can't waste food because of choking. Biochemical technology is the key to our colonization. After all, the mechanical failure rate in this world is too high. It's too unstable. If we accidentally cut off our hope of modulating monsters, it's too arbitrary.
"Like rune machinery, it's not that there was no accident. When the No. 6 underground rail line was built, the big bang even collapsed, causing a building on the ground to collapse, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and finally investigated. , A manufacturer of construction machinery, simply did not understand the true power contained in an ancient rune, so that two different spiritual magnetic fields collided with each other, causing a tragedy-we did not take the opportunity to say that Rune Technology is Dangerous goods that threaten the entire civilization!
"Sorry, it's far away. Meng Chao, please see. This is our third modulation procedure and the last safety measure. We have implanted a chip on the central nerve of all biochemical beasts and monitored it at any time. Hormone levels of biochemical beasts.
"When the chip detects that the hormone level of the biochemical beast is abnormally increased and enters a state of anger, it will automatically release a very strong biological current, which will shock the bone marrow of the biochemical beast.
"If it can't calm down, the electric shock intensity will continue to increase, and in the end, it may even burn down its central nerve.
"Please come to the laboratory here, we can witness the power of the control chip."
Xie Xiaolei said, Meng Chao and Ning She invited me to a floor-to-ceiling glass window.
Behind the glass window is a kennel with a biochemical beast of the same type as the accident.
This biochemical beast with the internal codename "Saihu" does indeed have the beautiful appearance of a little tiger and the majestic demeanor.
Its slender body is streamlined, and Jin Cancan's fur is shiny, but it can't hide the explosive force brought by the muscles. It usually converges its fangs and claws deeply. It pops up like a dagger during battle. For ordinary monsters, it is quite entangled for a while, and when the owner is crushed under the rubble, he can also dig as fast as a ground drill.
In the age of the earth, when people choose pet dogs, they often like petite and petite small dogs.
However, Dragon City is a foreign army. In the battlefield, all the citizens came from the rain of bullets and bullets, and they will experience endless fighting in the future.
In this martial society with respect for martial arts, people keep pets, and they also like this powerful, domineering, and large combat dog with a certain combat effectiveness.
Some people even don't like war dogs, but breeding more fierce carnivorous lizard monsters has gradually become a trend.
"Saihu" is a hot-selling product of "Ling Chuang". Meng Chao has seen much on the street in the past. They are all foolish and foolish. They look stupid and look very safe at first glance.
But the "sailing tiger" in front of him had red eyes, salivated corners of his mouth, twitching nerves in his head, his fangs and claws shrunk and stretched out, and he looked fierce.
Xie Xiaolei told Meng Chao that in order to test the danger of "Saihu", they conducted many experiments in the past two days. The biochemical beast in front of him had already inhaled a large amount of irritating gas, and had been injected with a mad drug that carries bacteria Restore the fierceness of the monster.
"Injecting crazy drugs can restore the original tame biochemical beasts to fierceness?" Meng Chao thought deeply.
"This is of course, it is a beast after all."
Xie Xiaolei said, "Don't talk about biochemical beasts, even when humans are injected with drugs that carry the "zombie virus", they will also become zombies.
As he was saying, a piece of raw blood dripped down in the laboratory.
The biochemical pet beast showed his fierce light and immediately flew up.
