NO.349 Somatic Cell Transplantation Reprogramming

There is a saying on the Internet that life is like a rape, if there is no way to resist, then enjoy it.

Baron Teslak has such a mentality now, and he has been completely frightened by Zhang Heng's forces. 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 the cells of the team members with superpowers such as Thor in the Avengers." Zhang Heng smiled slightly, "I think this is not difficult for Hydra."

"Indeed." Baron Teslak nodded, "With our Hydra's chess pieces in S.H.I.E.L.D., to obtain their body cells, we only need to be able 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, you just want to try it. Cloning? But allow me to tell you with regret that your idea is bound to fail."

"Reason?" Zhang Heng looked neither sad nor happy, not angry because of Baron Teslak's rebuttal, nor was he worried about gain or loss, but only calm, which made Baron Teslak unable to grasp Zhang Heng's character.

"I think you should know the steps to create human clones, right?" Baron Teslak said. Seeing Zhang Heng's noncommittal, he coughed and continued, "You should understand that the so-called clones are actually 'somatic cell nuclei'. "Transplantation and reprogramming", it is not difficult for you to obtain the somatic cells of those superheroes, but don't forget why Thor, Hulk, Captain America Steve have not been 'copied' by Captain America ?"

"You mean, it would be difficult to copy them?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"It's more difficult, it's simply not a project that humans can complete." Baron Teslak smiled wryly, "To put it simply, as early as the 1980s and 1990s, the appearance of Dolly the cloned sheep can be said to have ignited the cloning of human beings. The fire of imagination, but you also know what happened after that, different from those lower life forms, primate life forms have a higher level, and because of this, it is difficult for the somatic cell nucleus of primate life to transform into egg cell nucleus, reprogramming It can't be expanded at all."

The so-called 'somatic cell transplantation reprogramming' is to transfer 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 own operating mode, just like the computer program has been rewritten. .

There was a fable once, there was an ancient country, there was a spring called "Frenzy Spring", and anyone who took a sip of the wild spring water would become mad. All the subjects of this country drank the wild spring water and fell into a state of madness. Only the king stayed awake and did not drink this water, so he did not go crazy with him. As a result, the madmen all over the country felt that the king had a mental problem, so they tied the king and tried to cure his madness. In the end, the king couldn't stand the torture of those treatments, so he could only drink the water of the wild spring and go crazy with the people.

This principle can be vividly embodied in reprogramming. The nucleus is like a king, and the organelle is like a subject. First, take the nucleus of an egg cell, and then transfer the nucleus of the somatic cell that you want to clone to the egg cell. middle. The egg cell is then treated with electrical currents 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 become an egg cell, and the nucleus of the somatic cell had to turn itself into the nucleus of an egg cell in order to save his life after seeing the angry subjects. This is the 'somatic cell transplantation reprogramming'. All content.

"Isn't ****** able to solve this problem?" Zhang Heng recalled the process of cloning in his mind, and suddenly asked back.

"I know, you're 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 the eternal rule of the world, and the superheroes like Hulk and Thor have more than one life form. A level higher than humans? "

"Baron Teslak is right, Your Excellency." Zola also appeared on the screen, "Even with my ability, I can't clone these superheroes."

"I understand." Zhang Heng sighed, but said without doubt, "But science is always advancing on failure. Even if we really can't clone, do we give up completely?"

"Since you insist, it will be as you wish." Baron Teslak said, "I will issue an order to let the undercover agents of SHIELD take the opportunity to obtain the DNA of those people, but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to clone it. the ability of the opponent."

"Of course." Zhang Heng nodded, turned and walked outside, until he completely left the room, his last voice came.

"Next, it's up to you."

...

After walking out of the meeting room of Hydra headquarters, Zhang Heng slowly raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, he buttoned his ears lightly, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Yuehua No. 2, Dr. Zola said all this just now. Is it all true?"

"Yes, Your Excellency." Inside the ear, a microchip attached to the ear canal made Yuehua's voice, "I monitor all the thoughts of this Dr. Zola, and 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.

It was not until he came to a gate that Zhang Heng slowly stopped. This gate was newly erected and looked as bright as new. Under the bright light, it exuded a strange metallic luster.

"Identity confirmation, Your Excellency Commander, welcome your return." On the door, a sound came from an electronic screen, and the next second, with the rumbling sound of friction, the door slowly opened.

When he saw the scene inside the gate, Zhang Heng couldn't help blowing a whistle. This is a huge square, and tunnel boring machines are constantly working in it. The square is bustling with excitement, with a fiery look.

"Regarding the construction of the new underground base, the speed of construction is not a problem. The only limitation is the source of materials. Even for the Hydra organization, it is difficult to obtain enough materials in a short time." The voice in the ear once again said.

"It doesn't matter, hiding is the most important thing." Zhang Heng nodded, but he couldn't help frowning slightly. "I have a hunch that if I am exposed in this world, I am afraid I will fall into some kind of great crisis..."
