Chapter 712 I want to say something first
Gao Mi seriously explained the various techniques inside to Xu You. While listening carefully, Xu You thought correspondingly in his mind.
Many of the techniques that Gao Mi mentioned were known to Xu You before, but there were some that Xu You heard for the first time.
"Academician Xu, my team has indeed done research on cell-based artificial meat before. The technology here is mainly divided into four major steps. The first is to extract stem cells from the animal body and use seed cells to produce specific meat foods.
For example, if we want to produce a specific muscle fiber of the animal, we can extract specific muscle stem cells from the living animal."
"This sounds a bit like the broken limb rebirth project we did before, but the purpose of the experiment is very different." Xu You said.
"Yes, it is true. The second step is the large-scale proliferation of stem cells. In the case of in vitro culture, the number of stem cells will increase exponentially every few days. In theory, only one stem cell is enough
Cultivate 10,000 kilograms of meat. Of course, this requires enough time to cultivate it."
"The next step is the induced differentiation of stem cells. Academician Xu, you must know that even if you only produce meat in a certain part, it will not be just a single cell, but a combination of multiple different cells. Therefore, we
The cells need to be further differentiated and fused into the basic structural unit we want to produce multinucleated cells."
"Finally, it's the post-processing process. Because the principles of cell growth are different, the meat we cultivate through cell-based artificial meat technology is still somewhat different from real meat in terms of appearance, etc.
, a final post-processing process is also needed to make them more similar."
After listening to the entire process described by Gao Mi, Xu You understood that there is still a long way to go to truly achieve marketization of this technology.
After thinking about it, Xu You said:
"Professor Gao, I think the technical achievements we have achieved in the research on the rebirth of broken limbs and various stem cell technologies can also be considered to be applied to cell-based artificial meat technology. No matter how big the purpose is between them.
The difference is actually very similar in the technical core.”
Hearing Xu You's words, Gao Mi nodded and said:
"Yes, Academician Xu, I also think this idea is feasible. Of course, if you do this, I don't know if it tastes as delicious as normal meat."
"It's okay, Professor Gao, I will definitely take time to participate in the research."
After receiving Xu You's promise, Gao Mi finally felt a little relieved.
Gao Mi knows that although she is a world-class expert in this field, she may not be able to catch up with Xu You in solving some key technologies.
This project itself has very high requirements and is another technology that may be widely used in the future. Gao Mi itself is under great pressure.
"It's best if Academician Xu can help. I haven't seen any problems that Academician Xu can't solve." Gao Mi said with a smile.
At this time, Xu You suddenly became serious and said:
"But Professor Gao, I still have to emphasize one thing first. Because I have to do a lot of things, it is impossible to focus too much on this project. There are still many more important tasks that I need to solve.
.So Professor Gao, the most core work needs to be taken care of by you and your team, you must remember this.”
Xu You didn't want everyone else to put their hopes in his heart. After all, Xu You only had one, and it was impossible to solve all problems by one like Superman.
Xu You said these words in front of Gao Mi and the core members of the team in order to enable them to do their best and try their best to solve problems through their own strength.
Gao Mi immediately understood what Xu You meant and said quickly:
"Academician Xu, please rest assured. This is our job. We will do our best to do our best to do these jobs."
The others also made similar statements. Seeing that everyone was so positive, Xu You nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, I want to know enough about the cell-based artificial meat project. Several other experts can go back and continue working first. Professor Gao, I have some other things I want to ask you for advice."
Xu You tactfully expressed the meaning of "sending off guests" to the people, and everyone immediately understood Xu You's meaning, said goodbye to Xu You, and left.
At this time, except for Xu You, only Gao Mi was left in the office.
Gao Mi didn't know what Xu You wanted to ask if he left him alone, but it was hard to ask first, so she had to wait for Xu You to speak first.
"Professor Gao, do you think, if some people can live forever, is this a good or a bad thing for the whole world?"
Gao Mi was not prepared for being asked suddenly by Xu You. She was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"If eternal life... let all humans live forever, it is definitely not a good thing, and it is not conducive to the normal reproduction and evolution of organisms. If a very small number of people can live forever... it should still be something that can be considered."
Gao Mi feels that for some people who have made significant contributions to human beings, they can obtain longer lifespans and even live forever. This is definitely a matter of benefit over disadvantages for human beings.
Like Xu You, a world-class great scientist, every extra day, is an extremely huge wealth for the whole world.
"Yes, immortality is a thing that is full of temptation for many people. But once the technology of immortality is popularized, it will also cause very serious consequences. Even if this technology can be successfully developed, it must be carried out.
Strict restrictions.”
Xu You did not explain to Gao Mi that he and Lu Zhiyao had taken specific nanorobots, allowing them to achieve a longer theoretical life span and even have the possibility of immortality.
Because this technology is only suitable for people like Xu You and Lu Zhiyao with very top physical fitness. If ordinary people take this nanorobot without authorization, it will only cause stronger side effects, and their lifespan will not increase but decrease.
What Xu You hopes to achieve is the kind of immortality technology with a lower threshold. For example, some people with strong scientific research capabilities but poor physical fitness can also have such an opportunity for immortality.
"Professor Gao, I also hope to optimize in some aspects regarding human tissue regeneration and immortality technology."
