Chapter 280 Genetic Imprint! Only the Strong Are Qualified to Be My Children! (Supplement))

The institute has completed the modification of the logo.

Including the name and logo of the umbrella company.

Not to mention, it looks much more handsome.

With the imitation special operations team uniforms and the large umbrella logo on the uniforms of the security guards, the first impression is a solemn and restricted area.

Coming here, it seems to have come to a military institute.

Of course, the security guards who stayed are at most veterans.

They value the comfort and safety here, but they are not really elite.

When conditions permit, Brian will definitely deploy an armed force composed of all enhanced people and beastmen.

What Brian is most satisfied with this institute is that the land here is large enough, with four buildings, a total of more than a thousand different types of rooms, and a large underground building structure, which is specially used for dangerous experiments and detention of test subjects.

Especially the laboratory, which not only has automatic electronic structures, but also physical structures. The safety is built completely according to the Type I red standard, and the cost is no less than more than 10 million US dollars.

This does not include the high-end equipment inside.

This is not a small amount when added up. It doesn't even matter. Many equipments cannot be bought. They are banned items that are prohibited from being sold.

To some extent, Blacklight Biotechnology Company is still very powerful. Such a large research institute was given away as if it was trash.

There are more than 100 permanent maintenance and security personnel here.

Needless to say, there must be spies from Blacklight Biotechnology among these people, including the researchers who stayed.

Brian doesn't care about these.

He won't put important research results here.

Others won't risk offending themselves to steal unimportant research results.

Under the leadership of Gandobu, Brian passed through several checkpoints and came to the third underground floor.

He changed his clothes and went through various complicated procedures such as disinfection and sterilization before coming to a bright large room.

Most areas of the room are separated by special glass. You can see small compartments with various equipment in the compartments and signs for partitioning.

However, only four people can be seen busy in this large laboratory.

Of these four people, only one is Caucasian, and the other three are Asian.

Judging from their facial shapes, they should be Chinese.

This is mainly because the facial muscles will be slightly different due to the different pronunciations of the languages. Of course, for those who have lived here since childhood, it is difficult to tell where their motherland is from by their facial shapes.

Gandobu introduced to Brian:

"The white people inside are former C-level researchers in the institute, good at biological genetic research, with a pre-tax salary of 12,000 US dollars per month + project subsidies + project bonuses, but the profitable projects of our institute have been transferred, so we are currently in a pure loss-making state.

The other three are all Chinese, also good at biological genetic research projects, and have experience in other research institutions.

They have just joined our umbrella company not long ago, and they are all D-level researchers. According to convention, unless they stay for three years or perform well, they can be promoted to C-level researchers by recommendation by the B-level researchers who lead the project.

As for B-level and A-level, they used to need to participate in the headquarters assessment, and now you, the boss, have the final say.

However, in order to attract these Chinese researchers, I said to the boss that you don’t care about nationality, you only care about whether you have the ability.

They are willing to take a chance, so they came to the company."

Brian nodded: "Aren’t there any new international students? We also have to consider the training of new blood."

Gandob shook his head:

"It’s difficult.

There are many subjects in those universities that foreign nationals are not allowed to study.

Among them, the biotechnology category is the top priority. There are also many restrictions on the subject selection of early immigrants, so we can only find Chinese.

In fact, I personally still like international students, because the conditions of students who can come here to study abroad are not too bad in their own countries. Most of them are elites with high quality. The probability of cultivating talents is very high, and the probability of job hopping is also lower..

The problem is that we can't find international students with a foundation.

Many of them come here to study cultural subjects.."

Speaking of this, Gandobu was happy: "To be honest, I don’t know what culture this country can learn, especially those who choose history. The books are so thick, and they are more about studying the history of other countries. There are even Chinese international students coming here to study Chinese. God, I guess they just come here to get a degree and study abroad experience. It’s very interesting.."

It can be seen that Gandobu has indeed put a lot of effort in this regard to conduct in-depth investigations to ensure that Brian’s salary will not be wasted.

This is what Brian is most satisfied with Gandobu.

A managerial subordinate may not necessarily have outstanding abilities, but if he wants to do what the boss wants, he must have the awareness that the company is his family's cattle and horses.

Without awareness, how can the boss drive a luxury car and live in a luxury house?

Brian did not disturb the work of those researchers, but let Gandobu take him to an independent closed laboratory.

This kind of laboratory is generally only available to B-level researchers. If the researchers below want to use it, they must obtain the consent of the B-level researchers. At present, there is only one B-level researcher in the entire institute, Alpha, and he is not here, so there are several vacant laboratories.

Gandobu was dismissed.

Brian first checked the laboratory and the machine to make sure there were no secret doors left on it.

After that, he started to take samples.

Sampling male sperm is a bit more troublesome. You need to put something into the instrument first, wait for the sperm to completely liquefy, and then use a test tube to absorb it and observe it under a microscope.

After Brian completed this operation, while waiting, he prepared to observe Susan's genetic material.

First, Susan's cell sample.

In fact, he wanted to observe Susan's eggs, but the eggs were in the ovaries, and normal egg retrieval required surgery, so he could only observe Susan's cells.

Brian, who was well prepared, extracted Susan's blood and stored it in his body. There were also scraps of Susan's skin in the gaps between his nails.

After the sampling is completed, there are some simple filmmaking operations, and then observation.

This was Brian's first time observing cell samples from an enhanced human and a lycanthrope after the aberration.

He took a deep breath and raised his eyes.

next moment.

Brian's eyes widened.

What the hell is this?

Why do Susan's skin cells and blood cells, in addition to the normal skin and blood cell shapes, still have a small number of them that look like egg cells?

The problem is, the egg cells are wrong too!

A normal egg should be a small round ball covered with a grid. The surface of the ball has many corona-like substances that resemble sharp tentacles. This is called the corona radiata.

The overall feeling is like a small sun wrapped in many triangles:

The bottom of the corona radiata is wrapped with a transparent band. The transparent band is glycoprotein, which can protect the egg and trap and restrict sperm. In addition, there should be two red corona cells attached to the glycoprotein.

This is the observed shape of a normal egg.

Susan's strange 'egg-like cells' that appear in other body tissues are different.

When Brian first looked at it, he thought it was a real sun.

During the observation, her 'egg-like cells' radial corona appeared fiery red, and it was constantly swinging like a flame.

There are also glycoproteins, but they appear black and gold. The most important thing is to turn up the magnification and look at it. You can see the fiery red nucleus inside the cell, and even the egg cytoplasm around the nucleus is the color of flames, like flowing magma...

If Brian had to describe it, it would be like an egg bathing in magma.

The question is, shouldn’t this thing appear in the ovaries? Why does it appear in other tissues of the body?

Isn't this a real egg cell?

What the hell is this?

Think about it.

Brian called Gandob and asked him to find a researcher who had been exposed to research on enhanced humans or lycanthropes.

Brian thought it was an old white researcher who came, but he didn't expect that Gandobu brought a Chinese researcher, one of the new employees Gandobu introduced to him just now.

The other person looked to be in his thirties, with a very good appearance, a serious face, and wearing an administrative jacket. He looked more like a leader than a scholar. He was of a high level and had the air of a manager.

He stretched out his hand towards the other party: "Hello, Ganduobu said, your name is Li Hua?"

Li Hua waved his hand: "Boss, I don't like physical contact in the laboratory. Yes, my name is Li Hua. I once worked in an agency under the FBI for five or six years in basic research, but I couldn't join any interesting projects." Gandobu told Me, everything is new here, and boss you only care about talent, so I’m here.”

"You are very confident, I like confident people!"

Brian retracted his palm nonchalantly.

Don't be afraid of talents having a temper, but be afraid of showing off if you don't have the ability.

He winked at Gandobu.

Gandobu left the laboratory with a wink.

Wait for someone to leave.

Brian then said to Li Hua: "Have you ever observed the cell tissue morphology of aberrations and lycanthropes?"

Li Hua nodded: "The FBI has many of these two, so I have seen them all. Even when I first joined the job, through my mentor's relationship, I saw first-level life-forming aberrations, lycanthropes, and enhanced humans. Cell tissue morphology.”

"Can you talk about this?"

Brian asked curiously.

Li Hua nodded again: "Boss, we have signed a confidentiality agreement, but Umbrella Company is a scientific research company qualified to contact this type of project. In addition, I have never been exposed to this type of project, so I can jump here."

"That's good, it's like this. I have a friend who is a lycanthrope. He is also an enhancer himself, but he has been feeling unwell recently. So I took his blood cells for observation, and found that there are some strange structures inside."

Brian was vague.

Li Hua glanced at the electron microscope used before, without showing too much curiosity, and explained honestly:

“Boss, your friend must be a first-order being.

The biggest difference between first-order beings and ordinary humans, aberrants, enhanced humans, and lycanthropes is the improvement in body strength in more aspects, but the biggest improvement is still in the activity of cells.

According to current research, the biggest reason for their increased physical strength and increased cell activity is the appearance of locks in their bodies! "

"Lock?"

“Yes, the academic term is genetic lock, but we prefer to call it genetic imprinting.

Everyone's genetic imprint is different, but it will only appear in a creature's body after it becomes a first-order life.

It looks a bit like a female egg cell, but in fact it is not. Instead, it is a very complex structure that can store a large amount of energy, supply energy to various tissues of the body, maintain their strength and activity, and also carries the hidden genius gene of life. .

At present, cutting-edge research institutes are studying high-energy biological substances, rare talent-enhancing reagents, etc., and their main research direction is to decipher these locks.

But the progress doesn't seem to be very good.

At least except for those single gene locks that are easy to decipher, the more talents the target has, the more difficult the lock is to decipher.

This is also the reason why each official organization has its own unique strengthening reagent.

It's just that the research direction, progress, and research goals are different. "

After listening to Li Hua's introduction, Brian suddenly understood.

Fortunately, after he was promoted, he didn't hide his clumsiness, he just hid his strength and made good excuses for his promotion, otherwise it would have been exposed during the physical examination.

He also understood why he broke through the first level of life and was promoted to NW level two staff. After completing the sampling work at the NW base, so many people showed favor to him and said that he was talented.

Brian originally thought it was a literal meaning, but he didn't expect it to be a conclusion after observation.

He has so many talents, and his genetic imprint is very complicated at first glance.

This means he has a lot of talent.

Although this does not necessarily represent the upper limit of genetic structure, it at least guarantees the lower limit.

Seeing that Li Hua knows a lot.

Brian's favorability increased greatly: "What will happen if a first-level or above enhancer combines with a lycanthrope? In other words, enhancer and aberrant, aberrant and lycanthrope."

Li Hua shrugged:

“I’ve only heard of this, but never observed it.

It is said that genetic imprints will exist in large amounts in genetic material, so it will be very difficult for them to become fertilized eggs. This mainly depends on changes in body structure and the degree of fusion between genes.

This is still a first-level life.

If it is a second-level life, the locks will also undergo new changes. As for what changes, I don't know, but they will have strong exclusivity, and the probability of giving birth to offspring will become lower, requiring luck or artificial assistance.

As for the lycanthrope, the aberrant, and the enhanced person, after they reach the first level of life, there is actually not much difference.

They all have their own unique genetic locks.

The only difference is probably that the genes of the aberrants will change after reaching the first level of life. The genes of the lycanthropes will change after the injection is successful. As for the enhanced people, their genes are very stable from beginning to end. At most, they are There is one more dominant genetic lock...

But these locks are unique in themselves, so there is still no way to determine whether they are aberrations or lycanthropes, unless they are tested by equipment, or the other party has obvious mutated biological organs.

This is actually a very wonderful thing.

Imagine that in a few years, the entire human category on the earth will undergo earth-shaking changes, and there may even be the formation of new groups or even new regimes such as orcs, new humans, etc."

Brian has actually thought about Li Hua's imagination.

The two chatted for a long time.

Brian also learned a lot of new things.

He didn't know what level Li Hua's talent belonged to among scientific researchers, but this guy must have great ideas.

Finally, Brian gave Li Hua his business card: "Thank you for clearing up the doubts. I can feel the activeness of your thinking. Research requires leaping thinking with a flash of inspiration. I am optimistic about you. If you have the necessary research project, Give me a call and I’ll give you support!”

"thank you boss!"

Li Hua had a smile on his face, and then motioned to Brian to put the business card in his trouser pocket.

It’s still the same principle.

In the laboratory, he didn't want to touch unnecessary things.

Watch Li Hua leave.

Brian sighed.

Li Hua told him that after the first level of women's transformation from beast to human, the shape of the egg cell is not much different from the shape of the gene lock. It just has some subtle changes and a unique nucleus. That’s all.

Looking at Susan's genetic locks that look like a little sun, you can tell that she is a fiery girl, fiery in the true sense of the word.

In Brian's normal state, his body temperature is very high.

Susan's body temperature was a little higher than his.

Outrageous!

Brian habitually wanted to have a cigarette, but then he remembered that this was a laboratory.

He sighed again, took out the observation lens, secreted a small amount of green mist, killed the egg cells on it, disinfected it again with the laboratory machine, and then threw it into a labeled waste disposal barrel.

About half an hour later, Brian's genetic material also liquefied.

This is much simpler.

He directly extracted it with a straw and dropped it on the observation lens.

Brian took another deep breath and bent down.

"Fuck!"

This time he cursed directly.

What the hell!

From the observation end of the microscope, one could see densely packed tadpoles swimming wildly in a white 'pool'.

Really crazy.

The speed looked like a speedboat.

This wasn't the reason for Brian's gaffe.

He lost his composure because these sperm were too aggressive. Once they hit his brothers and sisters, they would deform!

Really transforming! !

Just like Marvel's Venom, a big hole opened directly at the end of the head, and they devoured and bit each other, as if they had a murderous hatred.

The surviving sperm looked unchanged in appearance and continued to run around blindly until they bumped into the next brother or sister and started the next fight and devouring them.

"No wonder I feel that my genetic material has self-awareness. If I don't work hard, I won't even have a chance to see an egg cell. Only the most perfect and ferocious ones will have the opportunity to have a kiss... That's not right. I am It has been sitting for a long time. In actual operation, there should still be a chance for a lucky person."

Brian muttered to himself.

His mind was a little confused at the moment.

In this way, he remained bent over and stood for three or four hours, taking in all the war within his field of vision.

If there are no external influences.

This group of crazy tadpoles will fight and devour anyone of the same kind they see.

After most of them disappear.

They seemed to have self-sensation and began to actively hunt.

Until the end, only the last surviving sperm is left.

This sperm, after devouring many of its kind, finally changed its appearance.

Its interior has become extremely complicated, and there is an unknown layer of substance on the surface. It looks more than three times larger than at the beginning, and the most exaggerated thing is at the top.

There was actually a sharp tentacle on the top, and something that looked like a mouthpart on the bottom.

Everyone in Brian is feeling numb.

Just like a tadpole with one horn.

Why, you still want to eat the egg cells!

His genetic material verified a joke that Brian had heard before: only the strong are qualified to be his children, and the weak are not even qualified to be born.

"It's a pity that we can't test the state of the fertilized eggs. We can only find opportunities in the future."

Brian habitually destroyed his own genetic material.

But it's not over yet.

Come all come.

Brian found a new observation film, controlled his body, and forced out some untreated bloodshot threads from his fingertips.

Zila~

The specially made observation film showed a reaction to contact with high-calorie substances.

Fortunately, the material of the observation film is special and has little impact.

With a feeling of apprehension, Brian observed his blood cells.

Of course, it mainly depends on his genetic lock.

Seeing this, Brian felt paralyzed again.

What the hell is this?
