Homo sapiens

Chapter 17 Transformation

Scientific Research Base, Area A6.

This is the area located on the ground floor.

Of the ten large iron cages that are going to be used to hold experimental animals, seven have already been activated.

It's just that there are not chimpanzees or the like in the cage, but seven people.

Bafaat woke up in a groggy state. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a gray wall, and then found that his hands and feet were bound by handcuffs and anklets, and there was a mouth ball in his mouth.

The mouth can only say: "Woooooo..."

And the scum in the other cages also came to their senses one after another. They were also tightly bound, and could only make whimpering noises.

Of course, even if you can call out the sound, it is actually useless. There are no other people in the AB area of ​​​​the scientific research base, and the basement has been sound-proofed.

Throughout Caragua Island, some Chinese employees began to take annual leave, while most of the local employees were Christians. Their holiday was the previous Christmas, but now they are working instead.

And in the scientific research base.

Li Qingye has tested the effect of CRISPR-JM on domestic pigs and mice, and locked a part of the gene sequence related to the prefrontal lobe.

However, there are still some differences between human genes and other animals. If it is successful in animals, it does not mean that it can be successful in humans.

Having prepared all the experimental equipment, he started the first human experiment.

Barfat was very frightened because he found that he was not in a prison, but in a place full of high-tech colors. After watching so many movies, he quickly thought of plots such as evil scientists.

The moment he saw a man in a white coat appearing in front of the cage, the fear in Buffett's heart reached the extreme.

Li Qingye didn't want to talk about life with this kind of scum, so he injected an anesthetic directly, and the other party fell into a coma like a puddle of mud. He carried the experimental subject onto the hospital bed, fastened the handcuffs and anklets, and pushed him towards the elevator.

The scum in the other cages trembled in fright when they saw this scene.

The hospital bed was pushed into the laboratory, Li Qingye skillfully stripped the subject's clothes, inserted various testing instruments, then inserted the urinary catheter, nutrient solution infusion tube and oxygen mask, and finally the cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment.

Compared with his original transformation, this guy is a lot luckier.

Soon the specially made CRISPR-JM factor injection continuously entered the body of the experimental subject.

Different from the limiter that he lifted the gene before, the modification on the experimental body at this time only has a few fixed purposes.

First, let the prefrontal gene sequence become a pseudogene;

Second, let the reproductive gene sequence become a pseudogene;
Third, lift the restrictor gene sequence of the gene sequence in terms of physical fitness.

These three purposes are very simple, one is to make the experimental subject dehumanize; one is to make the experimental subject lose the ability to reproduce, so as not to pollute the human gene pool; the last one is to make the experimental body strong.

Under the effect of the anesthetic, Bafaat only had occasional convulsions, or arrhythmia, and high and low blood pressure, but his life was not in danger.

The renovation lasted ten days.

When Li Qingye found that the vital signs of the experimental subject were stable, he tested the telomeres of the chromosomes, and the telomeres also showed a significant shortening. It is estimated that the experimental subject would only have a lifespan of 30 years at most.

This is actually an improvement compared to the fact that he has less than 20 years left.

After waking up, Buffalt looked silent, and his eyes were very dull and dull.

Take a tablet computer, click on a romance movie, put it in front of Bafat, and let him watch it.

And he continued to check the data fed back by the testing equipment.

Even if there is an extremely seductive plot in the picture, Bafat still has no physiological reaction at all, just like a wooden man.

Then they tested comedies, sad movies, horror movies, etc. Through these tests, it was basically confirmed that the experimental subjects had lost their emotions.

Immediately afterwards, by injecting a certain amount of dopamine to make it form a path dependence, Bafaat was successfully told about his memory, which made Li Qingye sure that the stimulation of hormones and pheromones can indeed make the subject very obedient.

It's just that these people are like robots, and they can only complete some simple things only after he has been training and giving orders.

Li Qingye was not too disappointed about this.

The experimental subject was like a computer with a part of its processor destroyed, it was luck that it wasn't paralyzed.

What he has to do now is to use an artificial photon biochip to replace the destroyed frontal lobe of the experimental subject.

Let "artificial" emotions and desires replace "natural" emotions and desires.

Although the experimental body behaved very dull, Li Qingye continued to transform the remaining experimental bodies. After all, the modified experimental bodies were obedient to him, the hormone controller.

Even if they can't do delicate work, they can let them eat and bathe by themselves without his help.

In order to facilitate the genetic modification in the future, Li Qingye even specially remodeled this laboratory, pushing people into it in the future, and the genetic modification can be completed in ten days.

He spent more than three months transforming the experimental body, transforming the laboratory and equipment, and developing biochips.

A blink of an eye.

The time came to March 18.

During the period, Homo sapiens made another US$5.7 million in revenue, but in order to avoid attracting attention, he asked Li Jinglan to suspend the sale of eel fry.

The eel fry that were sold before were all sold in vests. Although Li Jinglan was very puzzled, he obediently carried out the order in the face of Li Qingye's dominance.

Although this is just an eel breeding technology, it actually involves an industry worth tens of billions of dollars.

He doesn't know that others are not jealous, but Dongying people are absolutely jealous.

After all, Dongying people have studied eel breeding technology for more than ten years, and it is the world's largest eel consumption area, so they definitely don't want to give up this cake easily.

Li Qingye didn't want to attract attention before there was no security guarantee.

Now that they have more than one billion US dollars in their hands, there will be no shortage of funds in a short period of time, and there is no need to expand sales.

Moreover, scarcity is the most expensive thing. Selling too many eel fry will cause the market price to drop, resulting in a decrease in the net profit of a single serving of eel fry. Controlling shipments and hunger marketing is king.

At the same time, the recent business of Homo sapiens has also changed to increase investment in the surrounding areas of Dart Harbor, and plans to expand 30 large-scale breeding farms in the coastal areas of the area.

Li Jinglan, Kang Nan, Tashi and others are busy with this matter.

This is also one of Li Qingye's strategies, to make everyone feel that the work at hand is very busy, as if there are always endless things to do, lest they stop.

When people are idle, it is easy to think wildly.

When I have completed my wretched development and have enough soldiers, it is time for Homo sapiens company to expand its territory.

Now the loyalty of his subordinates cannot be guaranteed, unless he wants to follow his father's old path, or join forces with the capital, otherwise he can only endure it temporarily.

As for the photonic biochip that Li Qingye has been thinking about for a long time, after more than three months of research and experimentation, it has also become relatively mature.

Although there is still some distance from his vision, the second-generation technology is barely usable.

The manpower problem that plagued Li Qingye left him no time to wait for the technology to be further improved. Instead of completing it in one step, it is better to improve it while using it.
