Chapter 178 Clone Hela (1)
Dai Lin has orders, and Xier can only connect Dai Lin’s newly released moles through a homogeneous halo, and ask them to collect blood as Dai Lin’s instructions.
Dai Lin closed her eyes and began to rest.
"What are you doing?" Gina couldn't understand at all.
Dai Lin opened her eyes and cursed: "If Hela hadn't been smart and had a good idea, these 5,000 moles would have been immortal. At least not today."
After pausing, Dai Lin said in anger: "It is because of her that I have to carry out an experiment that I am not sure about. It's so annoying!"
Gina asked curiously: "What experiment?"
"Adult somatic cell cloning!" said Dai Lin.
☆☆☆
Adult somatic cell cloning is the process of using the nucleus of somatic cells of adult animals (humans) to move into an enucleated egg cell, and undergo nuclear egg reorganization under certain conditions, and then implanted into the surrogate mother to develop into a new individual.
This is a special service that Dai Lin considered tailor-made for Hela before meeting Zhentong in the hall:
First, Hela is the only qualified female mole.
Secondly, other sexually mature female moles exist. However, because they have passed the spiritual field and become semi-robots, even if they are intact, they cannot produce qualified female moles.
Again, it is still normal for Hela's male mole "queen" to do it. Many of them are still very young and healthy male moles.
With these three conditions, Dailin thought he could give it a try.
The first step is to get some living cells from Hela and think of a way to cultivate them for later use;
The second step is to remove the oocytes from the body of the puppet female mole, and use the [micro-adjustment] skill to "suck out" the egg nucleus in the oocyte through thoughts.
The third step is to get out the nucleus in the living cells of Hela and transfer it to the oocyte. After culturing it in the culture medium to a certain stage, transplant it back into the uterus of the puppet female mole, and the female mole will give birth to the baby through pregnancy.
Although Dai Lin understands this principle, he knows nothing about this technical details, and he has no reagents or sterile operating conditions!
Because this technology has a very low fault tolerance rate, in the era before Dai Lin traveled through time, cloning animals had to prepare dozens of times more embryos, and there would be many failures.
Dai Lin originally planned to wait for Hela to save Pleasant Goat, but she reciprocates herself and explained the above plan to Hela. The two companies signed a long-term cooperative research plan to help Hela clone some small Hela with normal functions and souls in the next three to five years, or even ten years, and then give birth to children with the male mole that still exists. Rescue the tribe.
But now that Hela died like this, this experiment became a business. It would be fine if it did, but if it didn't, the mole would be really extinct!
Dai Lin really wants to swear...
This is a clone! Even if it is just a sub-human, it is enough to make Dai Lin feel heavy and full of burden.
In Dai Lin's previous life, cloning animals was already a relatively mature technology. The cloning industry of pets even formed a certain scale of market. It is available in China, but the price is a little more expensive.
Of course, it is impossible to have clones. This is not only a technical issue, but also an ethical and moral issue.
☆☆ Just like learning the Necromancer spells may not necessarily do bad things, but they will definitely touch on the core issues of ethics and morality. Who would be willing to walk on the street and find that their newly buried father or grandfather are following the necromancer like a fool?☆☆
Under normal circumstances, Dai Lin, who has a very firm bottom line in experimental ethics, is unwilling to do clones, even if it is a mole.
But this time there is a slight exception.
First, if you don’t do so, a magical species will disappear;
Secondly, the materials for the experiment - the female moles, were all individuals who entered the spiritual field of the mole mother Hela and were then taken into the spiritual field by Dailin. To put it bluntly, these female moles are more like summoning objects than independent consciousness creatures.
If you think so, Dai Lin feels much better.
However, even if you cross the line of ethics and morality, there are actually too many uncertainties in whether you can clone it and pull it out of the sea:
It is technically difficult to clonize animals. Dailin has no sterile conditions, no cell culture equipment, no test instruments, and no reagents - there are ways to imagine these.
In the case of sterile conditions, set up a tent in the lightless cover, and let the major undead mages inside use undead magic to kill all the microorganisms in the tent. Then use the wind spirit stone to generate a steady stream of positive pressure in the tent to prevent the plankton from entering the tent;
Cell culture equipment is to transplant twin sunflowers, so that the small space in the tent is rich in life energy that helps cell growth, and heat the incubator to a constant temperature with fire spirit stone;
The cell culture medium directly puts the mole's serum. Previously, Dailin asked the moles who were commanding Dailin to collect a large amount of mole's blood when the little mole in Hela was about to die and extract the serum from it, which became the best culture medium;
Microscopes, microscopy operations, etc. can be used to help achieve this skill [Microscopic Adjustment].
[Micro-adjustment] is a magical skill that Dai Lin learned from Chengyue, which allows natural mages to use their minds to perform fine operations at the level of cells and even organelles.
Dai Lin introduced the antifungal ingredients in red sandalwood into the undead moss, completed the crystal undead moss, and finally formed the [Heshan Shuo No. 1] product, which used this skill.
The skill developed by the elves is mainly used for selection.
Otherwise, we would not have selected such a despicable weapon as Mantis Bamboo (Little Orange/Little Orange).
It’s just that the elves’ intellectual limitations limit their further application of this skill.
After Dai Lin learned this skill from Orange Yue, his research on cell biology immediately made great progress. Many operations can be achieved using this skill.
The extraction of some rare but necessary substances in the blood can actually be achieved partially using the skill [Natural Gift]. The premise is that as long as Dai Lin can accurately describe these substances and accurately convey them to the blood to "listen".
In a word, there are many difficulties, but there are always ways to imagine.
However, the problem is that Dai Lin did not do this in his previous life. Although he knew the principles and the basic operations of cell tests, he had no experience in cloning. He could only rely on himself to explore everything.
You should know that the success rate of cloning animals is very low. Cell fusion, cell division, transplantation to the uterus, pregnancy, childbirth, and finally growing up to a dangerous period. Each step has a high chance of failure.
