NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32
"I'm going too far... Let's go back to the X-gene interface. This part is the same for every mutant. There is no difference. The only difference is the functional gene part."
"Therefore, X gene transplantation is to modify the functional gene, transplant a suitable gene fragment, or modify the original ineffective gene fragment, etc.!"
"Can the invalid gene fragment in the X gene be modified? Doesn't it mean that ordinary people can become mutants?"Norton suddenly raised a question
"It is indeed possible to modify the ineffective segment of the X gene, but the probability of ordinary people becoming mutants is still very low.
Because not everyone has the X-gene interface, the probability that ordinary people have the X-gene interface is less than one in 10,000.
The probability is much higher than the probability of awakening the X gene, but it is still very rare!"Norton explained.
This explanation reminded Norton of"X-Men: Days of Future Past". The potential mutants hunted by the sentry robots are most likely ordinary people with X-gene interfaces.
They have X-gene interfaces, but their functional genes are They are invalid fragments, so they cannot be awakened, but their descendants have the possibility of awakening the The amount would be of no benefit to either him or the mutant community.
"Have you started the X gene transplant experiment? Norton asked again
"Not yet. According to my simulation, implanting new X gene fragments will produce strong law conflicts. Unstable law runes may not be able to withstand such law conflicts." John replied
"so……？"
"So I asked them to learn X genetics first and reconstruct the law runes before trying X gene transplantation!"
"OK! I agree with your plan!"
Norton has vaguely heard the wails of the boys from the Nova Team. Those guys have become wild recently and haven't attended class for a long time!
"How long will it take to see the experimental results? Norton asked again
"With the knowledge system of X genes compiled by me, some researchers can quickly complete the reconstruction of the law runes, but the most troublesome thing is to find the matching X gene fragments." John explained,
"The first experimental subject should be a Rakshasa girl. Her matching X gene fragment has been found, and her learning progress in X genetics is also among the fastest!"
"oh? Where did she find the X gene fragment that matched her?"Norton asked curiously
"Among the red tank's X genes, there is a part related to energy storage and use, which matches the Rakshasa girl's genes!"John replied.
This is easy to explain!
As one of the experimental subjects in the laboratory, Red Tank has the most thorough research on the X gene laboratory.
The Rakshasa girl's X ability is very strong, but the law energy cannot be stored, which makes it seem useless. , if the shortcomings are made up, the practicality will be greatly improved.
"What about the rest? Norton continued to ask.
John knew who Norton was asking about, so he explained:"The lycanthropic X-like gene is very special. We tested the genes of related animals, and the results were completely inconsistent."
Perhaps we can only rely on the same lycanthropy genes to complement each other, and this requires a huge X gene library!
Norton made a decision immediately:"I know!" Improving the X gene pool will be the main task of the college in the next stage!"
The Nova Team has been doing the collection of X-gene samples, but they didn't do it deliberately before.
That is to say, when performing tasks, they will collect X-gene samples by the way, and the main targets are mutant criminals.
And those mutants who have not committed crimes People are only recorded in the record and generally do not take the initiative to contact them.
This time after Norton's order was issued, the Nova Team immediately took action and directly compared the previous records to find them one by one.
There was no need to use force, or even to come forward directly. , the Nova Team had many ways to quietly obtain their genetic samples.
In less than three days, the laboratory's X gene library grew from 3,000 copies to 5,000 copies.
Then the growth rate began to slow down rapidly.
In the world There are only so many mutants, and it is difficult to obtain a large number of X gene samples at once, unless we look for unawakened potential mutants.
But it is also difficult to find X gene carriers from ordinary people.
Unawakened X genes are An invalid gene cannot be distinguished by ordinary genetic testing equipment.
We can only find another way!
Norton did not pay too much attention to this issue. At present, thousands of X gene samples are enough for the laboratory to be busy for a long time. Simulation experiments of matching genes require The amount of calculations required by the existing supercomputers in the laboratory is far from enough.
So at this time, Norton needs to expand the computing center as soon as possible to increase the amount of calculations to improve efficiency.
007 can handle programming issues, and there are also fully automated production lines for manufacturing..The first thing that Norton needs to deal with is the core raw material, ultra-high purity monocrystalline silicon!
Norton can use element master to purify silicon, and there is no problem even raising it to absolute 100 purity, but the higher the purity, the lower the efficiency.
After all, it is guaranteed Every atom is silicon, not other elements. This is an extremely delicate job and extremely energy-consuming.
Fortunately, making chips does not require absolute purity. Even the next-level purity exceeds all laboratory products, Norton It took three days to get it done.
But Norton's work is not over yet. The production of temperature control runes also requires Norton to provide raw materials. The temperature control runes are the core of the temperature control tower.
Yes, the supercomputer of the mutant laboratory, It is not entirely made by science. The most important cooling system is a complete metaphysical equipment temperature control tower.
Many times, problems that are difficult to solve by science can be easily solved by metaphysics, such as the heat dissipation problem of supercomputers.
