There is a saying on the Internet that is very good, life is like a rape, if there is no way to resist, then enjoy it to the fullest.
Baron Teslak has such a mentality now. He has been completely frightened by Zhang Heng's power. Every time he faced Zhang Heng, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He nodded bitterly and said, "Your Excellency Zhang Heng, all the eyes and ears of Hydra are at your disposal. Next, you What are you going to do?"
"I need cells from the Avengers, Thor and other members with super powers." Zhang Heng said with a slight smile, "I think this is not difficult for Hydra."
"Indeed." Baron Teslak nodded, "With the chess pieces our Hydra has deployed in SHIELD, if we want to obtain their body cells, we only need to obtain their hair and oily skin. But..."
"But what?" Zhang Heng glanced at Baron Teslak lightly. Suddenly, Baron Teslak felt a chill all over his body. He forced a smile, "I know what you want to do, don't you just want to try it? Cloning? But let me regret to tell you that your idea will not be realized. "
"Reason?" Zhang Heng's expression was neither sad nor happy. He was not angry because of Baron Teslak's rebuttal, nor was he depressed about gains and losses. There was only calmness, which made Baron Teslak unable to grasp Zhang Heng's happiness and anger.
"I think you should understand the steps of producing human clones, right?" Baron Teslak said. Seeing Zhang Heng's noncommittal, he coughed and continued, "You should understand that the so-called cloning is actually the 'somatic cell nucleus'." Transplantation and reprogramming', it is not difficult to obtain the somatic cells of those superheroes, but don't forget why Thor, Hulk, and Captain America Steve have not been 'copied' by national forces. ?”
"You mean, it will be difficult to copy them?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Not only is it difficult, it is simply not a project that humans can complete." Baron Teslak lamented, "To put it simply, as early as the 1980s and 1990s, the emergence of Dolly the cloned sheep ignited the idea of human cloning. The fire of imagination, but you also know what happened next. Unlike those lower life forms, primate life forms are at a higher level. Because of this, it is difficult for the somatic cell nucleus of primate life to transform into an egg cell nucleus and be reprogrammed. The project cannot be carried out at all.”
The so-called 'somatic cell transplantation reprogramming' requires transplanting the nucleus of a somatic cell into an egg cell without a nucleus. The cytoplasm of the egg cell allows the nucleus of the somatic cell to change its operating mode, just like a computer program has been rewritten. .
There was once a fable, there was an ancient country, there was a spring called "Crazy Spring", anyone who drank a sip of the water from the Kuang Spring would become a madman. All the subjects of the country drank the water from the Mad Spring and fell into a state of madness. Only the king stayed awake and did not drink the water, so he did not go crazy together. As a result, the madmen across the country thought that the king had a mental problem, so they tied the king up and tried every means to treat his madness. In the end, the king could not stand the torture of those treatments and could only take the initiative to drink the water of the mad spring and join the people in madness.
This principle can vividly reflect reprogramming. The nucleus is like a king and the organelles are like subjects. First, the nucleus of an egg cell is removed, and then the nucleus of the somatic cell of the target clone is transplanted into the egg cell. middle. The egg cell is then treated with electric current and chemicals to give the egg cell the illusion that it has become a fertilized egg.
As a result, the organelles asked the nucleus to turn into an egg cell, and the nucleus itself, which was a somatic cell, saw the angry subjects. In order to save its life, it had to turn itself into the nucleus of an egg cell. This is the method of "somatic cell transplantation reprogramming" All content.
"Can't **** solve this problem?" Zhang Heng recalled the cloning process in his mind and asked suddenly.
"I know you are talking about protein phosphatase inhibitors." Baron Teslak nodded, "But you should understand that the higher the level of life forms, the harder it is to be cloned. This is an eternal rule of the world, and green The life forms of giants, Thor and other superheroes are at a higher level than humans?”
"Baron Teslak is right, Your Excellency Commander." Zola also appeared on the screen, "Even with my ability, I cannot clone these superheroes."
"I understand." Zhang Heng sighed, but there was no doubt, "But science is always making progress based on failure. Even if cloning is really impossible, should we give up completely?"
"Since you insist, then it will be as you wish." Baron Teslak said, "I will issue an order to let SHIELD's undercover agents take the opportunity to obtain the DNA of that group of people, but I cannot guarantee that I can clone them. The outcome you had in mind.”
"Of course." Zhang Heng nodded, turned around and walked outside. It wasn't until he completely left the room that his last voice came through.
"Then it's up to you."
…
After walking out of the conference room at the Hydra headquarters, Zhang Heng slowly raised a smile. He gently touched his ears and seemed to be talking to himself, "Yuehua 2, what Dr. Zola just said Is it all true?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Inside the ear, a microchip attached to the ear canal emitted Yuehua's voice, "I monitor all of Dr. Zola's thoughts. I can detect that he is not lying."
"That's good." Zhang Heng nodded, walked to the end of the metal passage, suddenly turned a corner, and walked deeper into the Hydra headquarters.
Zhang Heng slowly stopped when he came to a large door. This door was newly erected and looked as bright as new. Under the bright light, it exuded a strange metallic luster.
"Identity confirmed, Your Excellency Commander, welcome back." A voice suddenly came from an electronic screen on the door. The next second, with a rumbling friction sound, the door slowly opened.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but whistle when he saw the scene inside the gate. This was a huge square, with tunnel boring machines constantly working inside. Synths coming and going acted as workers on the construction site. The entire The square was bustling with activity, and it looked like it was in full swing.
"As for the new underground base project under construction, the construction speed is not a problem. The only limitation is the source of materials. Even the Hydra organization has difficulty in obtaining enough materials in a short time." The voice in the ear came again. said.
"It doesn't matter, hiding is the most important." Zhang Heng nodded, but couldn't help but frown slightly, "I have a vague feeling that if I am exposed in this world, I will probably fall into some kind of huge crisis..."
