Chapter 662 - 427: Phoenix Plan
Wang Ye flipped through the previous researcher’s experimental records while using the internet to brush up on his biological knowledge,
constantly browsing various websites to read the latest papers in biology, particularly in the field of cloning.
Every second, he could precisely capture tens of thousands of words or more.
This massive amount of theoretical knowledge was crammed into his mind like stuffing a duck,
even Wang Ye, whose Divine Attribute was dozens to nearly a hundred times stronger than ordinary people, found it somewhat strenuous.
Fortunately, with his previous exploration of sports Skill as a foundation,
he didn’t find it extremely difficult to understand these things.
Within just half an hour, he had used a quantum reading approach to
grasp nearly all of the known biological theoretical knowledge of humanity.
After mastering it,
Wang Ye went to look at these clones again,
the slight disdain and contempt in his heart instantly transformed into realization.
One wouldn’t know until they learned; once learned, he understood the high technical content of this stuff.
With humanity’s current cloning technology, it’s already quite remarkable to clone such high-level experimental subjects.
The previous researchers were likely top scholars in the field specifically found by Old Yi.
Wang Ye rubbed his chin and mused:
"It seems that achieving truly perfect cloning requires overcoming many technical barriers."
With existing human technology, cloning some simple organisms might still not be a problem, but cloning humans might be difficult.
Much less cloning someone like Wang Ye, whose genetic complexity is over a hundred times higher than that of ordinary people.
To put it simply, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction through somatic cells in a living organism,
resulting in offspring individuals that are genetically identical to the somatic cell donor.
Cloning can also be understood as replication, copying, and mirroring,
producing the same replica from the prototype, whose appearance and genetic makeup are identical to the prototype, though most behaviors and thoughts differ.
The most successful clone is completely identical to the prototype both inside and out, but since the process of biological cultivation and growth is never static, there are bound to be some differences.
Cloning technology doesn’t require sexual reproduction, the combination of sperm and egg; it only requires extracting a single cell from an animal, artificially cultivating it into an embryo, then implanting the embryo into a female animal’s body to nurture a new individual.
The animals cloned from a single cell possess characteristics completely identical to the single-cell donor, making them "copies" of the single-cell donor.
The earliest cloning techniques could only clone microorganisms, quickly replicating tens of thousands of identical bacteria from one bacterial cell, forming a bacterial colony.
From the cloning of the first tadpole in 1952 to the mass cloning of large animals in 1998, cloning technology in the last century developed rapidly.
In the late 20th century, scientists from England, United Kingdom, and Oregon, United States, successively cultivated "cloned sheep" Dolly and "cloned monkeys," as if they were only one step away from truly cloning humans.
But soon after, the United Nations issued a cloning ban, urging member countries to prohibit any form of human cloning, including therapeutic cloning for embryonic stem cell research. Even cloning other animals required multiple approvals before research could begin.
Since then, the development of cloning technology seemed to slow down; even after twenty years, there was no significant advancement in cloning technology.
However, Wang Ye speculated that cloning technology hadn’t stagnated but rather its developments were intentionally hidden.
Because once cloning touches upon humans, it raises numerous ethical issues,
and if human cloning were made known to everyone, these ethical problems would quickly magnify, causing massive controversy.
Hence, the technology’s development had to continue covertly in its later stages, unable to be displayed publicly.
Wang Ye believed that the current true level of human cloning technology should be capable of human cloning, albeit perhaps with a low success rate.
Otherwise, those researchers wouldn’t have been able to cultivate Wang Ye’s clones, even though they were clones with genetic defects,
considering his Evolution Level was ahead of all Earth organisms by millions of years, with genetic complexity unmatched by any life form on Earth.
Even clones with severe genetic defects are not comparable to cloning sheep or monkeys in terms of difficulty.
After finishing reading the experimental records, Wang Ye planned to start applying the theoretical knowledge summarized by the previous researcher himself.
Old Yi, behind him, kept his eyes fixed on Wang Ye,
curious about what Wang Ye could come up with.
To his knowledge, Wang Ye probably didn’t formally study biology, much less such high-level cloning technology,
and these experimental records and data were probably beyond Wang Ye’s comprehension.
But based on his understanding of Wang Ye,
Wang Ye likely wouldn’t engage in meaningless activities.
So he was very curious about what Wang Ye would do after reading the experimental records.
Would he conduct cloning according to the previous researcher’s records, or was he simply curious about the cloning process?
At this moment, Wang Ye directly activated the Biological Force Field, sterilizing microorganisms within a 10-meter radius, as a substitute for ultraviolet disinfection. He thoroughly disinfected the laboratory to ensure a sterile environment, then put on protective gear and sterile gloves, and began preparing the apparatus and reagents needed for cloning.
He grew sharp, pitch-black Bone Blades, cutting off a piece of flesh from himself, rigorously screening and cultivating it to ensure cell viability.
