[Cell Factory-02]
After splitting into a cell mass, another problem appeared in front of him-there were too many cells, and everyone copied 8, and it was unclear which one was the original body. Moreover, 96 spherical cells are crowded together, and everyone can't see where the teammates are.
Yue Xingwen simply asked loudly: "Senior Brother Xu, how do you control the split body? I can't find where you are!"
Xu Yishen's voice came from a distance: "The mitosis skills I got are different from those here, I can split 5 copies in an instant. But the 'mitosis' of this course strictly adheres to the N power of '2' 'The law of division, that is, every division is a division of all cells into two, and becomes a multiple of two."
He paused, his voice a little helpless: "I am also studying how to control these cells."
2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, and the next split is 16. If this goes on, they will divide more and more cells.
Liu Zhaoqing also said: "We are only the first cell cluster, about 100 cells, everyone is almost dizzy, if it splits into thousands, tens of thousands, or even 40 to 60 trillion cells that make up a complete human body, Wouldn't it become a sea of cells? Will it be clear by then?"
Ke Shaobin said weakly: "I found that I can roll forward."
When everyone heard this, when they looked back, they saw a small ball with glasses rolling forward a certain distance, followed by the 7 copied balls behind it.
In the dense cell group, Ke Shaobin wearing glasses is really the most unique landscape.
Xu Yishen's eyes lit up and said, "I have found the pattern, everyone's body is always the same, and the replicas next to them move with the body. As long as we send out the instruction of 'Which direction do I want to go' in our minds, our spherical The body will roll in the designated direction."
Yue Xingwen thought before that, without hands and feet, they all turned into balls, shouldn't they be rolling around? It turned out that he was right. Looking at the glasses cells that rolled into the distance, Yue Xingwen held back a smile and asked, "Young Master Ke, are you dizzy after rolling around like this?"
Ke Shaobin's voice came from the front: "Is it okay? It feels like walking normally!"
Yue Xingwen thought for a while and said, "Then we all roll in different directions, let's get used to being a cell first, how to walk."
When everyone heard this, they rolled forward, backward, left, and right.
For a time, in the not very spacious space, countless small balls rolled around, occasionally colliding, almost turning into a "ball chaos", Yue Xingwen rolled to the left, Jiang Pingce rolled to the right, and the body just collided with each other. .
The distance between the eyes of the two was less than 1 cm. Yue Xingwen opened his eyes wide and could clearly see Jiang Pingce's dark pupils. He stared blankly for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that we don't have eyelashes? Spherical? You have only one pair of eyes on your face, but I can see clearly, you still have one eyelid, haha.”
Jiang Pingce: "..."
Can your focus be normal
The voice of "ah" came from the side, Lan Yarong and Liu Zhaoqing collided together, Lan Yarong said: "Stop, stop, I'm going to be hit with a concussion!" Liu Zhaoqing said: "I'm also a little dizzy. Be careful everyone. , the bodies will dizzy when they bump into each other!"
Zhang Xiaonian asked for help there: "I can't tell the direction, I am surrounded by my own copy!"
Everyone: "… "
The scene was very chaotic.
Yue Xingwen only felt a splitting headache. A large group of people suddenly turned into balls. It was difficult to grasp the direction of movement. After the vision was affected, it was easy to collide with each other when rolling. If it goes on like this, how can they cooperate to create children? Don't be completely confused by then. Where should the heart grow, a liver grows? Birth a monster? !
Jiang Pingce reminded calmly, "Everyone, stop."
Everyone stopped.
Jiang Pingce said: "Everyone turn their heads and find Ke Shaobin first. The one with glasses is the best to distinguish."
Ke Shaobin whispered: "Only? This is the first time I heard someone call me with this kind of quantifier..."
The balls turned their heads one by one, and soon found the "group" Ke Shaobin who was wearing glasses. Everyone can't tell which is the body, anyway, the 8 balls are exactly the same, and Ke Shaobin can distinguish it himself.
Jiang Pingce said: "Now take Ke Shaobin's direction as the front. Xin Yan and Qin Lu go to meet with Ke Shao, Sister Manluo, Qin Miao, and Senior Sister Lan roll backwards in opposite directions, Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Xu turn to the right, Me, Xingwen, and Zhang Xiaonian turn to the left."
With such a distribution, the originally chaotic situation immediately became orderly.
Everyone took their clones and quickly rolled to different directions. Then, everyone turned around and found that they had formed a large "circular queue", standing in four rows neatly, and everyone could see each other clearly. Location is up!
Xu Yi smiled deeply and said, "There is still a way, so that I won't get dizzy, and I can see everyone."
Zhang Xiaonian said: "I can finally tell the direction!"
Yue Xingwen turned his head and glanced at Jiang Pingce beside him, thinking to himself, Pingce's ability to categorize and organize is really strong, no matter how chaotic the situation is, he can sort it out clearly.
In the front row, Ke Shaobin blinked and said, "What should we do next?"
Xu Yishen said: "We have only completed the first step of human birth. After cleavage, the fertilized egg forms a cell mass. The next step is to send the cell mass through the fallopian tube into the uterine cavity and adhere to the uterus through the sticky substance on the surface. inner membrane."
Liu Zhaoqing said: "The cells close to the endometrium secrete an enzyme that cleaves the endometrium to form a small hole, and then bury it in. This is what is called 'implantation' in clinical practice, I remember right?"
Xu Yishen: "Yes!"
The team has one from the academy of biology and one from the medical school, and has a clear understanding of the process of human birth.
Yue Xingwen immediately asked, "Where's the fallopian tube?"
Lan Yarong suddenly said: "Behind the three of us, we found a pipe-shaped passage, isn't it here?"
Xu Yishen said: "Let's look around, don't go to the wrong place and become an ectopic pregnancy."
Liu Zhaoqing said solemnly: "Yes, if the implantation is in the wrong position, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy, our child will not be able to be born, and it may even cause massive maternal hemorrhage."
Everyone: "..."
At this time, everyone was in a closed space, and there was no exit except for a tubular passage behind Lan Yarong, Lin Manluo and Qin Miao.
A mechanical voice sounded in everyone's ears: "The division of the cell mass is complete, please prepare for implantation."
Xu Yishen said: "It seems that it's where Senior Sister Lan said!"
Jiang Pingce commanded: "Everyone, don't mess up, line up to go in."
Lan Yarong said: "I'm a liberal arts student. The embryonic development is completely different. Xu Yishen, please lead the way."
Xu Yi nodded deeply: "Okay, everyone stay where they are, I will go first, Brother Liu and Zhuo Feng will follow me."
Jiang Pingce arranged: "Senior Sister Lan, your second batch, Ke Shaobin's third batch, I, Xingwen and Xiaonian will go last. After arriving at the destination, everyone continues to line up in order, each with their own split cells to stand. One row, don't mess up."
He divided the 12 people into 4 teams, so that the 3 people acted in sequence, and there would be no chaos.
Otherwise, they swarmed up, and it was very likely that they would bump into each other and get dizzy.
The three of Lan Yarong consciously made way for a path, and then watched Xu Yishen, whose pupils were obviously lighter than others, roll over with seven clones, followed by Liu Zhaoqing and Zhuo Feng...
It's not easy to tell who is who from the eyes!
After a volley of balls rolled through the "fallopian tube", Lan Yarong, Lin Manluo and Qin Miao immediately followed.
Qin Miao and Qin Lu are twins, they look exactly the same after they become cells, and they can't be distinguished from their clothes and hairstyles. Yue Xingwen reminded: "Ke Shaobin goes first, Qin Lu goes last, don't mix with your sister!"
Qin Lu: "… good."
Another row of cells rolled past, and the three of Yue Xingwen finally entered.
The fallopian tubes are quite long, and everyone lined up to roll all the way forward. It felt like riding a slide when I was a child.
After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and everyone appeared in a strangely shaped space. The space was wide in front and narrow in the back, like an upside-down triangle.
Liu Zhaoqing's voice came from the front: "This should be the mother's womb, right?"
Xu Yishen said: "Look at the shape, yes! Where are we going to implant?"
Liu Zhaoqing asked: "Is the side wall more stable? If it is too close to the cervix, it is easy to form placenta previa, and it is too dangerous for the mother to give birth."
Xu Yishen was at the front of the queue at this time, and he could clearly see the wide "room" around him. There was fluff on the walls of the room, which was obviously a simulated uterine mucosa.
According to the shape of the "room", different positions inside the uterus can be distinguished. The implantation is usually the anterior wall, posterior wall, and lateral wall of the uterus. Xu Yishen chose the right wall and said, "Everyone follow me."
He rolled over first, and the others came to the right one by one.
Xu Yishen said: "Everyone sticks to the side wall through the sticky substance on the surface of the cell."
The crowd followed suit.
Everyone lined up, clinging to the furry "wall".
From their view, the room was particularly large, with an inner membrane on the walls. But in fact, this is the mother's womb simulated by the library. They are now in the womb of the "mother" and need to use the mother's body to obtain nutrition and develop into a small baby.
At present, it is too far from the birth of the child. Their child has only a mass of cells and has not even formed a heart.
Ke Shaobin said curiously: "I found that after the back is glued on, it can't move."
Liu Zhaoqing complained: "After the cell mass is implanted, of course you can't run around. Wouldn't your running around cause miscarriage?"
Ke Shaobin: "..."
Xu Yi said with a deep smile: "Everyone, don't move around and wait for the next instructions."
Everyone obediently stuck their backs to the uterine wall and did not dare to move. Although none of the students present had any experience in giving birth, this time, they had to experience the gestation process of a fetus in person. Although it was a bit strange, no one dared to be careless.
If they are not careful, their child will be miscarried, or die prematurely.
Gradually, everyone found that the inner membrane behind them had changed. The film seemed to be elastic, wrapping them gently. Everyone stared curiously at the scene in front of them. After an unknown amount of time, they seemed to have switched to another relatively narrow space, with a transparent membrane protecting them outside.
Xu Yishen said, "Is the implantation successful, has the placenta formed?"
Liu Zhaoqing carefully observed the surroundings and said, "It should be true. The fetal blood circulation on the chorion has been established. The thin tubes you see are the placental blood vessels."
Everyone looked forward, and sure enough, they saw some thin red pipes on the film.
Xu Yi said with deep emotion: "This course has accelerated the growth rate of the fetus by dozens of times. Normally, the placenta is formed after two weeks of pregnancy, and we have less than 2 hours."
The library was kind enough not to let them stay here for 9 months, otherwise, they would become cells and roll around here for 9 months, and everyone would probably have a nervous breakdown.
At this moment, Ke Shaobin suddenly whispered: "We don't need to eat next, right? Blood circulation will automatically deliver nutrients to us?"
Xu Yishen said: "Yes."
As a foodie, Ke Shaobin suddenly felt a little regretful.
Yue Xingwen asked, "What's the next step?"
Xu Yi thought for a while and said, "It should be differentiated into three germ layers. Let's divide the work. Who will go to the ectoderm, who will go to the middle, and who will go to the endoderm?"
Everyone: "… "
They are so heartbroken for this soon-to-be-born baby!
