Chapter 1155 Synthetic Life
Walking out of Mike Pence's door, Eric took out his cell phone from his arms, dialed a number, and then came to his ear.
"He has agreed."
After pausing for about three seconds, a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
"That agreement?"
"I've signed it here." Eric continued.
"Very good." The hoarse voice was filled with praise, and after a moment, he ordered, "Take the things to the old place and go outside for a vacation."
"receive."
After hanging up the phone, Eric took out the phone card from his phone, strangled it in half, and threw it into the sewer beside him. After leaving the street, the two parted ways, headed in different directions, and disappeared into the crowds of Washington.

After sending Trunsou onto the plane, Jiang Chen was about to go home with Aisha, but before he left the airport, he received a call from Xinghuan City. After asking the airport people to arrange the runway, he took the aerospace g100 and flew to Xinghuan City.
After arriving at the Ministry of Aerospace, he greeted Kerwin. Under the escort of the Star Ring soldiers, Jiang Chen arrived at the special project institute, which was protected layer by layer. Many people had already lived in the deserted research institute, not only the 200 researchers who returned from Mars research, but also about four or five hundred scientific researchers involved in relevant confidential content in the research field, entered the institute through voluntary application.
After signing a confidentiality agreement, everyone will undergo screening of the spit agent to ensure that no spies are involved.
Ghost agents have been doing well in counter-espionage. So far, data stolen has never happened. The spies and intelligence personnel from other countries who were dealt with by Aisha cannot count them with both hands.
When he arrived at Dr. Amos' laboratory, Jiang Chen's eyes were immediately attracted by the huge culture tank located in the center of the laboratory.
I saw that in the cylindrical culture tank, something fetal-shaped was floating in the dark green culture medium. Pipelines of all sizes were connected to the "fetal", and bubbles of all sizes were constantly gushing from the bottom of the culture tank.
"To prevent you from misunderstanding, I have to make a statement first," he walked out of the moving door beside him. Dr. Amos took off the glasses on his nose and hung them on his chest pocket, jokingly saying, "This is the fetus of a gorilla, not human."
"How did you study the gorilla fetus?" Jiang Chen asked strangely.
"In addition to some of the knowledge about the Crane particles, the knowledge I inherited is mainly concentrated in the biological field." As he said that, Kerwin pointed to the cultivation tank, "and this thing is one of my experimental items."
"That's a pity." Jiang Chen expressed his regret tactfully.
Before using the Flower of Memory, no one knows what the memory that is about to be inherited is.
Amos' own research direction is mainly concentrated in the fields of artificial intelligence, electronic machinery, etc. Although neural access systems are also one of his masterpieces, this scientific research result does not involve much knowledge in the biological field. For him, the knowledge he inherits is a field he has never been exposed to.
"What a pity?" The expression did not show too much regret. Dr. Amos shrugged and continued, "Although my research direction involves more fields of physics, I have always been positive about biology. The prospects of such a discipline will not be narrower than those of physics. If the latter is to guide us to understand the world, then the former is to teach us how to be God."
After hearing this metaphor, Jiang Chen smiled.
Indeed, for the moment, creating life is still the realm of God.
Even though today's chip manufacturing process can reach less than 1nm, humans still cannot synthesize even a single cell from scratch.
Even in the 22nd century, biology technology made several leaps and bounds, artificial cells were still at the forefront of science and technology. I remember that Lin Ling talked to him about this issue a long time ago. It seemed that the Nobel Prize in Biology in one year was the simplest mycoplasma with the most basic elements such as carbon, hydrocarbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphate, sulfide, and potassium.
"It's good if you think it's okay," Jiang Chen walked to the next to the cultivation trough, looked up and asked casually. "By the way, what is this thing? Cloning animals?"
"Clone? Not that simple thing." Amos smiled and shook his head. "The material is a DNA code and a periodic table of elements. Not long ago, we created life from scratch."
Hearing the words of creating life, Jiang Chen looked at him in surprise.
Using DNA data and original chemical elements like this, a gorilla fertilized egg cell is synthesized from scratch, and then it is allowed to develop into a mature gorilla in a culture tank that simulates the intrauterine environment, which is unique in biology.
Even as an outsider, he could tell how difficult it was.
It is no exaggeration to say that taking out any technical difficulty of this experiment and writing a paper alone is the level that is enough to shock the entire biology community and won the Nobel Prize nomination.
Through self-designed DNA encoding, a species that does not exist in this world have been created, and humans have never been so close to the realm of gods.
"The research of Gaia civilization in the field of biotechnology is quite advanced. Because the technical span in the middle is too large, I cannot describe the gap between us and Gaia in the field of biology. Tell me something you are interested in. Through this technology, we can use genetic fragments of Martian species such as lions, leopards, tigers, and even devil insects to design biological soldiers with individual combat power comparable to superhumans, and then mass-produce them using cell synthesis technology."
Speaking of this, Amos paused for a moment and said in a joking tone.
"I bet that producing a devil worm that adapts to the earth's environment is definitely much cheaper than producing a tank."
"Will it not cause problems such as biological invasion?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"This problem is actually easy to solve. Just set its chromosome number to an odd number when combining biological DNA." Amos said.
The principle is the same as a mule. As long as the creatures that are made are infertile, there will naturally be no troubles such as biological invasion.
For some reason, looking at the creatures in the cultivation tank, Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted 20.5 light years away.
Perhaps it was based on such technology that the colonists who arrived at Glitzer 581g finally embarked on the road to biological civilization.
A flash of inspiration in my mind.
Jiang Chen suddenly looked at Amos and asked another question he suddenly thought of.
"If cell synthesis technology is used... can the disappearing Gaia civilization be resurrected?"
