Chapter 257: Bottles?

Genetic engineering is both difficult to say and simple to say.

In the education of the modern earth, middle school students are already exposed to some of the relevant knowledge. To put it simply, it is nothing more than the construction of hybrid DNA molecules in vitro, and then the introduction of living cells to change the original genetic characteristics of organisms and obtain new varieties and new products.

The steps required are only four steps – just one more step than putting an elephant in the freezer:

The first step is to extract the gene of interest;

In the second step, the target gene is bound to the carrier;

In the third step, the target gene is introduced into the recipient cell;

The fourth step is the detection and expression of the target gene.

However, it is simple in theory, but in practice, it is somewhat difficult, to be precise, some technical difficulties.

Genetic engineering changes genes, which are the operation level at the base level, which requires a series of high-end technical support such as "nucleic acid gel electrophoresis technology", "nucleic acid molecular hybridization technology", "DNA sequence analysis technology", and "gene site-directed mutagenesis technology".

It is precisely for this reason that genetic engineering was not developed until the 70s of the 20th century on the modern earth, and only at that time could there be a satisfactory level of technology and equipment that could be operated.

In the current wizarding world similar to the Middle Ages, it is difficult to manufacture an electron microscope, let alone the required PCR machine and electrophoresis equipment.

This has nothing to do with the wisdom of the individual, but with the limitations of the world.

Genetic engineering at the current level of the world is like making a 100-meter giant, holding an embroidery needle, make a miniature carving on a walnut.

It's simply not possible.

So...... That's it?

Richard frowned, not wanting to give up so easily, pacing back and forth in the room.

Gutas, who was tied to a chair on one side, made a "tsk" sound from his mouth.

Richard raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, who looked nonchalant, as if to say, "Don't worry about me, I'm just happy to see you worrying" - this may be the only revenge that the other party can do.

Richard ignored him and continued to pace and think, but Gutas's "tsk" sound kept ringing.

Richard stopped and looked at Gutas.

At this time, Gutas was not gagged, and said: "Don't look at me, you evil alchemist, you must have encountered some problems, hehe, you continue to think, I won't bother you, tsk." ”

Richard frowned deeply, looked at Gutas and said, "The reason why I don't want to gag your mouth is because your performance has been more cooperative recently, or there is nothing you can't cooperate." But if you're going to disturb my thoughts with a grub, then I don't mind keeping your mouth shut forever - you don't need to eat with it anymore, do you?"

As he spoke, Richard flipped his hand, took out an Erlenmeyer flask from the spatial iron ring, and walked over to Gutas.

"You've probably never heard of swallowing light bulbs, have you? Because of the temporomandibular joint, I can easily put this Erlenmeyer flask in your mouth, but when I put it in, the bottle occupies the space in the mouth, preventing the temporomandibular joint from sliding forward, ensuring that you will never be able to take the Erlenmeyer flask out completely. Would you like to give it a try?"

"I ......" Gutas stopped talking, he didn't understand what Richard meant, but he already understood a truth, and it was absolutely no good thing to work hard with Richard.

In that case......

Gutas was decisive, turned his head to look to the side, and said nothing.

"It's for the best. Richard said, turned around and paced again, rubbing the surface of the Erlenmeyer flask in his hand, constantly thinking and thinking.

"Rustling ......"

The Erlenmeyer flask swirled in Richard's hand, and Richard's thoughts drifted through his brain......

After a long while, Richard didn't find any ideas, and sat down on the chair next to him with some boredom, his eyes moved down, and naturally fell on the Erlenmeyer flask in his hand, and he was about to retract the Erlenmeyer flask into the space iron ring, but the next moment his eyes flashed.

Flash, flash, flash.

Erlenmeyer flask?bottle?

Richard thought of something, put the Erlenmeyer flask on the table next to him, flipped it over, and took out another bottle from the spatial iron ring - the drifting bottle.

In other words, why did he want to research the secret of the "Spartas Heroic Elixir" and the bloodline seed? is because the previous research on the drifting bottle has completed a stage and has fallen into a bottleneck.

So why has the research on the Drifting Bottle completed a stage and fallen into a bottleneck? It is because the basic magic pattern on the Drifting Bottle has been successfully cracked, and the remaining magic patterns are either unclear or too complex, like fusion cells.

Fusion cells?

Unstable mutations?

Modification of genetic material at the DNA level?

Isn't this genetic engineering?!

Well, of course, to be precise, this belongs to the genetic engineering of the current wizard methods in the world, and its mechanism cannot be known, only that it can achieve some effects similar to genetic engineering.

This effect is uncontrollable in a sense, and it is likely that this is what you want, but what it gives is another.

But if it doesn't work once, you can experiment twice, you can't do it twice, you can experiment three times, you can't do it three times, you can experiment ten, you can experiment 100 times, 100 times, 1,000 times - as long as you keep going on and on, there will be one success in the end.

Richard's eyes sharpened, and he felt that he had found a way to solve the problem.

It can be expected that for a long time to come, he will devote a certain amount of time to cell fusion cultivation research every day, and it will not be successful for a long time.

However, he is confident that as long as he continues to carry out, he will eventually get the results that meet the requirements.

This can be seen as a daily job.

In addition to this daily work, he can work on the rest of the research at the same time, such as the study of the mechanism of the magic pattern.

Of course, one of the things he needs to do before doing all of this is ...... Let's take a tube of Gutas first.

Richard turned his head to look at Gutas, who was honest, and suddenly his whole body was cold, looking at Richard's eyes that were obviously different from usual, and his voice trembled a little: "You...... What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little blood for you, you're used to it. ”

"It's strange to get used to it, wait a minute! Aren't you drawing blood, how can you take such a big needle? Why is that tube containing blood so much thicker than before, are you really drawing blood? How much are you going to draw this time, are you going to drain me dry? Damn, you evil alchemist, don't come here! Get out of here, get out of here, you're not drawing blood at all, you're going to kill me!Ah, get out, get out...... Uh-huh-hmm......"

Gutas struggled, but Richard shoved an Erlenmeyer flask into his mouth. Then a thick needle was inserted into his body and began to draw blood vigorously.

In the middle of the sound, Gutas stopped struggling, lay on the chair softly, felt a burst of blackness in front of him, dizziness, panic, cold hands and feet, as if he was about to die, his heart was extremely desperate, but in fact, it was just caused by excessive blood draw in a short time.

Richard ignored Gutas and got busy, conserving his blood, preparing cell cultures, and preparing for the next plan.
