NO.106 Parents
A few days later, when Zhang Yaoyang came to the tenth floor of the No. 2 honeycomb again, Darwin had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency Commander, you are here just in time." Darwin walked towards one of the rooms without saying a word, "Fortunately, the cloned embryo has been synthesized. Please come with me."
Zhang Yaoyang followed the other party into the room, and saw a sign with the words "Clone Cultivation Room" written on the door of the room. As he pushed the door open, Zhang Yaoyang's eyes widened and a huge room came into view.
Moreover, unlike ordinary laboratories, there are not many scientific instruments here. Instead, they are rows of tall glass jars. The glass jars are about one meter in diameter, with a height of more than three meters, and the base is made of metal, connected to the floor and fixed.
On the top of the glass jar, there are dozens of pipes of large and small connected at the top. In the jar is a piece of green water, with clear and transparent water quality, and from time to time a string of bubbles are generated at the bottom of the jar.
As these bubbles gradually grow bigger, the liquid eventually cannot hold it and floats upwards.
These cans are densely packed, and walking in them is like being in a green jungle.
"These devices are the cultivation chambers for cloners," Darwin said, pointing to the glass jars, "There are a total of 135 clones here, and the same number of clones can be cultivated at one time."
"What about the clone?" Zhang Yaoyang looked into the can in surprise when he heard this, but the inside of the can was empty.
"Here." Darwin seemed to have known that Zhang Yaoyang would ask this for a long time. He pointed to the middle of the tank. Zhang Yaoyang looked closely and saw that in the center of the liquid, a fetus two or three centimeters high was suspended in the green solution one after another.
The fetus is wrapped with a transparent film. Inside the film, the fetus's head occupies half of the body, and the facial organs are vaguely visible. The eyes are like two black beans, but the mouth cannot be seen. The limbs are four thick and short granulations.
And a red spot can be vaguely seen in the embryo's body tremble constantly, which is the heart that has begun to develop.
"This is the clones that synthesize the egg cells and your somatic nuclei we bought on the market." Darwin continued to explain, "Because of your aesthetic requirements, the egg cells of Chinese women are all Chinese women. Plus your nucleus, the synthetic embryos will never have mixed races and foreign appearances. Strictly speaking, these clones are actually your descendants."
"Very good, it seems that I have a lot of children and grandchildren now." Zhang Yaoyang nodded with a strange expression, "But what I want to ask is, how long will it take for them to become adults?"
"It will take about a month." Darwin quickly replied, "I know your concerns, please rest assured that these green solutions are actually like the mother body, containing all the substances needed for human growth. We inject 50ml of r-hgh into the can every hour. This is an acidic polypeptide made through recombinant DNA technology. Simply put, it is a super growth hormone. Its main function is to promote the growth of nerve tissues, bones, muscles and other tissues, promote body metabolism, protein synthesis, and fat decomposition."
"With a large supply of nutrients, one month is enough for these clones to go from embryonic development to adulthood, and to return to normal physiological metabolism after leaving the tank without any sequelae."
"Although it's a bit long, I can still wait for a month." Zhang Yaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then these clones shouldn't have self-awareness, right?"
"It won't be if it's just one month." Darwin shook his head, "It will take at least six months for the fetus to produce thoughts. Even if the clones can develop their brains within a few days, it is not enough to generate self-awareness. After all, the time is too short. Strictly speaking, what we produce is just an empty shell without a soul."
Zhang Yaoyang was completely relieved, "But it is too few that can only produce 100 clones at a time. I need to expand the scale and increase the number at least three times!"
"Yes, the second batch of equipment ordered abroad will arrive tonight. By tomorrow night, the second batch of cultivation warehouses can be set up. By the day after tomorrow, the second batch of clones can enter the cultivation stage."
After talking to Darwin for a while, Zhang Yaoyang left the clone cultivation room and returned to the pharmaceutical factory through the underground tram.
"Huh, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. It's already late June." After looking at the calendar, Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help but be slightly shocked. In just a flash of eyes, three months passed. Based on this time, the university is probably on vacation, and it's summer vacation time again.
During this period, Zhang Yaoyang did not disconnect from his family, and his parents were still in good health. He concealed the news that he had dropped out of school and went abroad, saying that he had taken out loans and opened a company, made a small game, and then made several thousand yuan on his parents' cards every month.
At first, my father scolded Zhang Yaoyang, but later he saw that it was ineffective, so it was fine. Zhang Yaoyang's monthly money was getting more and more, from thousands to tens of thousands per month, allowing his parents to adapt little by little.
Fortunately, the parents were still acceptable to their son's company. There was no bloody situation. They were just unwilling to spend the money at the beginning, saying that they wanted to save it as Zhang Yaoyang's wife. Zhang Yaoyang simply said directly that he had made millions, and then his parents barely began to use the money he had transferred to improve their lives.
Now, I learned from my mother's phone that my father had thrown away the motorcycle he had been riding for many years, bought a Ford, and showed off in front of his relatives every day.
Although I can't see my mother, Zhang Yaoyang could hear that when her mother said this, she felt the pride and pride from the bottom of her heart.
As soon as he returned to the office, he received a call from his mother on his cell phone again. Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Mom, I won't go home this summer vacation." Zhang Yaoyang answered the phone and knew without asking that his parents were urging him to go home.
"Yes, the company is too busy and cannot do without people."
"Well, I know, I must take care of myself, mom, you should take care of yourself."
"Tell dad, don't worry about me, I will definitely go home during the Chinese New Year."
...
After a while of nagging, Zhang Yaoyang was relieved when his mother hung up the phone, but soon the warmth on his face quickly disappeared and he returned to his previous indifference.
"Basong, let's arrange to select ten most agile soldiers from the b·w·t troops, get them a Chinese identity and send them to my parents." Zhang Yaoyang thought, "Their task is very simple, to collect any places suspected of abnormal phenomena in Anzhou to prevent my parents from encountering danger."
"But there are probably too few ten people, and their appearance..." Basong hesitated.
"I know." Zhang Yaoyang waved his hand, "It's okay, this is only temporary. When the first batch of clones with Chinese faces are born, you will distribute 100 people to Anzhou and set up an abnormal phenomenon monitoring team. At the same time, I will also persuade my parents to find a few nannies. At that time, the task of female clones is to protect my parents' personal safety in close proximity."
"Not only that." Zhang Yaoyang tapped his index finger on the table, "No matter what method I use, whether they are a renter or buy a neighbor's house directly. In short, I want them to become my parents' neighbors, vegetable sellers in the vegetable market, shopping mall salesmen, colleagues in the unit, etc. within a week, and do not ask to get close to my parents, but only ask them to be on standby in all my parents' activity areas in case of accidents!"
"yes!"
