Chapter 515 Stem cells are in hand!

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "After all, the benefits we promised here are real. As long as we think for a long time, rationality can still overcome sensibility."

Yes, the Yunhai will not break the contract.

If the other party is sincere enough and really provides the stem cells of the dragon, scientific and technological assistance is not a big problem. The slightly developed Great Jin Empire will not pose too much threat, and it is also a win-win choice.

Lu Yiming turned around and asked Professor Huang, "By the way, Lao Huang, I remembered an important question. Can I really use stem cells to clone a one-stop? There is no problem at the technical level? If we can't clone it, we will be in vain."

In the past, cloning required an egg as raw material. For example, the first cloning sheep, "Dolly", was cloned using an enucleated egg and the nucleus of epithelial cells.

Now, people can't figure out whether this dragon is male or female, or has no gender, so it's basically impossible to get an egg, and it can only be done through unconventional cloning methods.

"Don't worry. In the past, this technology might have been more difficult, but it's different now." Professor Huang said with a smile: "Because we have developed biotechnology now. The first continent we have experienced, the White Mist Continent, has stem cell induction technology, which can restore stem cells to their omnipotent..."

"The emergence of the Z element has once again changed everything. The Z element can effectively improve cell characteristics and make cells younger. This is a special way of using it."

"We have successfully completed relevant experiments on mice. Using the mouse's hair follicle stem cells and the guidance of trace Z elements, it successfully restored its omnipotence and gave birth to a cloned fertilized egg that can successfully divide and differentiate."

"You are very fast. It's not many days since you discovered Z element, right?" Lu Yiming smiled.

Professor Huang touched his chin and said proudly: "With a brand new discovery, can it not be fast? However, this cloned fertilized egg is still growing slowly, and it will take some time for the finished cloned guinea pig to be born."

As the starting point of life, fertilized eggs are equivalent to cells with the smallest entropy value, which have omnipotence. They can divide and differentiate into any somatic cell; stem cells have slightly larger entropy value and only partially omnipotent, so they can only be converted into a single cell.

One of the functions of the Z element is to reduce the entropy value of life, so stem cells can restore their omnipotent properties, which is naturally not surprising.

Of course, the use of Z element is very complicated. It is not just a simple mixing of the two. Instead, it requires a series of complex technological means to cooperate, such as various biological enzymes and various strange chemical components to promote each other.

Different modes of action and different forms of expression.

"So... what about the uterus? After cloning the fertilized egg, we can't transplant the fertilized egg into the uterus of the mouse, right? It's impossible to find a dragon to get pregnant. How should we solve it?"

"Hi, this is simple." Professor Huang clapped his hands, "We have a great probability that we can determine that the dragon is born from an egg. As long as there is a cloned fertilized egg, the problem is not big, and there is no need for the uterus."

"Just like eggs, does chickens need a uterus to hatch? Of course it is not needed."

"The only trouble is... the birth of the dragon may be related to incense, faith, etc. If this is true, just technological means and a small amount of Z elements, it may still be impossible to give birth to a real dragon. Alas... I'll think of a way at that time." Professor Huang murmured to himself, "Perhaps, the dragons on our side will be different."

After answering all the questions, Lu Yiming felt relieved.

After about 10 minutes, the picture finally moved.

This huge dragon seemed to be convinced by the old emperor. Its eyes flashed and its whole body began to wriggle.

The old emperor couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and he was excited...

Lord Shenlong, he is so kind.

It agreed!

Of course, it’s just the root of a beard, and the benefits of scientific and technological civilization promised are too great, so big that it’s hard to imagine… It’s strange if you don’t agree.

If the emperor's beard or hair could be exchanged for so many benefits, he would have done so without hesitation.

But the dragon's beard is only two, thick and hard, and roughly estimated to be of several hundred kilograms of mass. If you really pull one, you don't know how long it will take to grow back. The dragon's beard is useful, just like the nose of an elephant, you can engage in some agile activities. One beard is missing, which is equivalent to one hand missing.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Yunhai gave a needle as thick as an arm on the Yunhai in advance.

The syringe is also unusually thick and has the thickness of bean sprouts.

Just use a needle to prick the root of the hair follicle and suck out some tissue fluid.

The dragon is very large but has extremely sensitive movements. It caught the needle with a beard and accurately stabbed the root of another beard.

But its scales are too hard and ordinary syringes cannot penetrate.

In desperation, he could only grab his face with his claws, scratching his face, and even scratched a piece of scale with a little fresh flesh and blood on it.

However, there was no drop of essence and blood. The dragon's blood was thin, which was much more valuable than simple meat.

Finally, I used a needle and sucked something out at the base of the beard...

A breeze blew by, and a dragon scale and a needle tube floated slowly over.

The old emperor showed a look of surprise on his face. He respectfully took the fishy scale with both hands in his deep hands, weighed it, it was heavy, weighing dozens of kilograms, and then took the needle containing tissue fluid.

"Sir Shenlong, are you okay?"

Shenlong lowered his head again, lay on the ground to rest, breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that there was no problem with him.

This wound will not take long to recover.

The old emperor nodded quickly, holding the things in his hand, feeling happy.

They will definitely not give away dragon scales. A dragon scale can create a hard shield.

As for these flesh and blood... maybe we can exchange some good things and sell them.

After thinking about it, the old emperor scraped off a small amount of flesh and blood from above with a knife and put it into a Petri dish.

He put the Petri dish and needle tube into the refrigerator given by Yunhaihao, and freezes, and then he breathes a sigh of relief.

...

"Their operation should be fine, right?" Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief when he got the hair follicle stem cells.

Professor Huang's face turned red, and it was obvious that he was more nervous than anyone else.

"No problem, the syringe should have stabbed the root of the hair follicle. Don't be too nervous. The hair follicle is not just the root of the beard, but the skin surface is full of hair follicles. Although this dragon only has two beards, it does not mean that it only has two hair follicles. Just like your hair follicles are not just hair, there are all hair follicles under the small holes on the surface of the skin. Do you understand? So don't worry too much."

"I understand, I understand!" Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing, "They should come to trade soon. Let's be ready!"

...

The Shenlong, who was not in good spirits, seemed a little tired. He closed his eyes again and his huge head hung to the ground.

The old emperor pushed the tricycle, bent down and bowed, saying goodbye and left. Until now, his heart is still beating rapidly!

Success!

It really succeeded!

We successfully obtained...stem cells!

We... are about to become a technological civilization.

He took a deep breath, pushed the tricycle out of the cellar gate, and looked up to see Zhao Yi and the two priests.

These people were still waiting patiently at the door.

"Your Majesty..." Several people quickly helped and carried the tricycle out of the cellar.

"How is Lord Shenlong?" a priest couldn't help asking.

The old emperor nodded and suppressed his smile, "Lord Shenlong fell asleep... After eating these alien flesh and blood, it felt good and could recover soon."

"This refrigerator... was temporarily lent to us by technological civilization and should be returned in time."

"I should go back, I should."

The two priests nodded in a hurry. The dragon was able to recover but rely on the help of scientific and technological civilization.

So their favorability for technological civilization is simply explosive, and they will never dare to embezzle this thing.

The emperor also turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yi.

Through the expression on the emperor's face, Zhao Yi could not guess anything, and his mood immediately became ecstatic.

He asked quietly, "Dragon... agreed?"

The emperor nodded.

There were naturally reformists and conservatives in the Jin civilization. After seeing a stronger civilization, the reformists were determined to use technology to change themselves.

They want to abandon some traditions and embrace technology.

And the corresponding one is the conservative.

Conservatives naturally want to adhere to tradition and maintain tradition. No treasure given by the dragon is allowed to be destroyed, and it is even more impossible to sell it. No matter what, it cannot be sold.

Therefore, the old stubborn people cannot know about this matter, including the two priests standing next to them, otherwise they will cry and make trouble again.

For these conservatives, the dragon is their heaven! As long as the dragon is damaged by a little bit, they will be anxious to sleep and will be thinking about it all day long. Even if they treat their old father, they will not be so attentive.

Moreover, the conservatives are quite powerful, including most of the civilians below, who are actually part of the conservatives. Their thoughts are relatively rigid and they cannot make changes rashly.

Now Shenlong sold his flesh and blood for the entire Jin Empire. If this group of people knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Therefore, it must be kept confidential!

"Hurry up and hand over the stem cells!" The old emperor quietly signaled General Zhao through his eyes.
