Half a day later.
Hannibal pushed the equipment carrying the artificial endometrium and followed Chen Chen to the door of an unmarked laboratory on the sixth floor.
Unlike other laboratories, this laboratory does not indicate any purpose, only a red sign.
The top of the signboard is marked with "restricted area" and the bottom is marked with the words "Experimental site, no one allowed to enter".
"boss."
"Boss."
Beside the alloy door of the laboratory, two young men also wearing white research clothes were already waiting there.
The two young men were both around 24 or 25 years old. One seemed to be a Jew in appearance and had tassels specially decorated on his research uniform. The other seemed to be from Central China or Donghaizhou.
Chen Chen nodded and said to the three of them, "In the next period of time, you will be partners."
"Hello." Hannibal immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the two of them.
"Hello, I am Horowitz von Neumann, European, Department of Biology, Cambridge."
"I am Li Lei, from Zhongzhou, a senior at Princeton."
"I am Hannibal, Hannibal Caesar, from MIT in North America, but I dropped out..."
Among the three of them, one was a reserved Middle-earth man, and the other was a Jew with a strong sense of right and wrong. On the contrary, Hannibal seemed the most normal. The three briefly introduced themselves and then fell silent again.
Chen Chen ignored the three people and looked at the camera above his head. Within a few seconds, as the camera passed Chen Chen's iris identity authentication, the alloy door opened immediately.
"come in."
After entering the laboratory, Chen Chen looked back at the three Hannibals standing in a daze at the door, and immediately urged.
"Oh, okay... Boss."
Only then did the three people walk in.
It wasn't until they walked into this laboratory that everyone realized that it was unusually wide, several times larger than the previous laboratory. And the most important thing was that they had never discovered the existence of this laboratory.
"It's just a very common spatial illusion application."
Chen Chen said lightly, and then he directly pushed out several cylindrical devices from the side.
Hannibal looked up and saw that these cylindrical devices were about thirty centimeters in diameter and about one meter high. They were made of tempered glass. Only the base and top were made of metal, and they were empty inside.
"These are..." The three of them looked at these devices and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Looks familiar, right?"
Chen Chen seemed to want to test his teaching, "I think you should have seen it in science fiction movies."
"A culture chamber for the growth of clones!?" After hearing Chen Chen's explanation, Li Lei suddenly felt something in his heart and said in surprise.
"Yes, these are specially designed by me based on the inspiration of science fiction movies, but I like another name: life incubator."
Chen Chen patted the equipment, made a banging sound, and then pushed out a constant temperature incubator again, "There are five human embryos in it, which have entered the embryonic sac state. I think with your wisdom, you should know what's next. How to do it.”
The three of them were startled when they heard this. They rushed forward without thinking and looked into the incubation box one by one.
"It's been fourteen days?"
Hannibal murmured in a low voice, "I need a micromanipulator to implant these human embryos into the artificial endometrium. At the same time, I also need minerals, urea, uric acid, creatinine, glucose, amylase, etc. to synthesize amniotic fluid. …”
"And these must be completed before the embryo consumes the nutrients in the yolk, otherwise the embryo is likely to die due to lack of nutrition." John added.
"But what happens next? The blood supply in these artificial endometrium cannot support the growth of the embryo, right?" Li Lei asked with some uncertainty.
"14 weeks."
Chen Chen then stretched out a finger and replied, "14 weeks is my estimated time, because by that time the fetus has already formed the umbilical cord and placenta. As long as the umbilical cord is formed, there is no need for endometrium intervention."
"At that time, we can use an artificial lung oxygenator to connect to the blood vessels on the fetal umbilical cord to directly deliver oxygen, and at the same time deliver inorganic salts, vitamins, fats, proteins and other substances needed for growth into the fetal body."
"These operations are very difficult, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete." Hannibal thought for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.
In his opinion, this method is still too idealistic. The method of simulating the intrauterine environment is extremely difficult and complicated, and the feasibility of success is extremely low.
"You can rest assured that once it reaches this stage, someone will naturally be able to complete it."
Chen Chenruo has some advice.
Indeed, it is difficult to simulate the intrauterine environment with current technology, especially the supply of nutrients, which cannot be accomplished by human power at all.
But Chen Chen didn't have this problem. Humans couldn't do it, but that didn't mean artificial intelligence couldn't do it either.
A few days ago, Chen Chen set aside a piece of land inside the research center, built a factory and purchased thousands of servers.
Later, Chen Chen moved Xiao X here from Zhongzhou.
Not only that, in order to solve the communication problem, Chen Chen spent his own money to build a macro base station when building the research center to ensure that the wireless network problem was solved.
With Xiao
Moreover, these laboratory equipment are all customized in Switzerland. Every equipment here can be connected to the Internet and can be operated by Xiao X.
Therefore, as long as these three people make no mistakes, Chen Chen does not need to consider the possibility of failure at all.
"correct."
Chen Chen suddenly reminded, "My purpose in cultivating cloned embryos is not to give birth to them, and I don't want them to become real lives. Do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" The three of them raised their heads after hearing this.
“A targeted inhibition of serotonin-like substances.”
Chen Chen directly took out a piece of paper and wrote down a line of chemical formulas. He then looked at the three of them with a solemn expression, "Embryos injected with this kind of inhibitory serotonin will have their brain development inhibited, but their bodies will not be inhibited." level of development.”
The three of them immediately realized that Chen Chen used the term "it" for these cloned embryos.
"I understand, this is indeed the best choice."
Li Lei and John nodded. The embryo's brain does not develop, so it will naturally not form consciousness.
Although even if the brain develops, self-awareness will not be formed during the fetal period, but Chen Chen's approach is undoubtedly more humane.
Because to humans, they are just empty shells with fleshy bodies but no brains.
Although Hannibal didn't care about this, Chen Chen was his boss after all, so he still had to listen to his words.
After giving all these instructions, Chen Chen gave the authority of the laboratory to three people, then turned and left the laboratory.
These three people are all geniuses in the biology major, and they are also the candidates that Chen Chen is preparing to accept into the God's Forbidden Zone. Now that Chen Chen's company is getting bigger and bigger, there is not enough time for him to do experiments little by little, so he needs to train some successors. Very important.
The task of cultivating cloned embryos was naturally handed over to these three geniuses who were carefully selected by Chen Chen.
