Chapter 663 - 427: Phoenix Plan_2
Just these two steps already left Old Yi shocked. Wang Ye managed to release a force field to directly eliminate bacteria from the surrounding environment? You should know that current scientific instruments aren’t necessarily capable of disinfecting and sterilizing on such a large scale, so every researcher has to go through great efforts to perform sterilization and disinfection before starting their experiments. But Wang Ye effortlessly releases a force field that can skip this step.
Thinking of this, Old Yi felt a slight chill in his heart. If this force field can easily eliminate microorganisms and bacteria, couldn’t it also effortlessly eliminate humans if intensified?
Next, Wang Ye used a micro-manipulation instrument to extract the nucleus from the body cell under sterile conditions. Meanwhile, he prepared denucleated egg cells, which were treated to remove their original genetic material and retain only the cytoplasm.
Wang Ye implanted the body cell nucleus into the denucleated egg cell using microinjection technology, forming a reconstructed cell. This step required extreme precision; any mistake could lead to experiment failure. After forming the reconstructed cell, he placed it into an electric fusion device, where it was stimulated by short electrical pulses to fuse the nucleus and cytoplasm and activate cell division.
The incubator temperature was kept constant at 145℃, and the carbon dioxide concentration was controlled at 50%, mimicking the environment closest to Wang Ye’s body. The data was unknown to the researchers, giving Wang Ye an inherent advantage — he understood his body best and knew what conditions could cultivate a clone closest to himself.
At this moment, Old Yi, who had been watching, was filled with deep surprise in his eyes.
Every step Wang Ye took was identical to those of the former researchers, and he performed them with precise skill, like a scientist accustomed to working in laboratories over the years.
Did Wang Ye have prior experience in cloning practice?
But Old Yi quickly dismissed this idea.
Because he distinctly saw Wang Ye just now using his phone to search for basic biological theoretical knowledge.
"Could it be... he learned all the biological theories accumulated by humans over millennia in just half an hour?" Old Yi’s heart surged with waves of shock.
Even the most advanced AI today couldn’t learn such a vast system in such a short time, right?
Meanwhile.
Wang Ye continued meticulously with his self-cloning on the table.
But as the experiment neared its end.
His first cloning practice, unsurprisingly, failed.
Severe genetic defects caused the clone to die before it could grow.
Wang Ye had to conclude the experiment halfway, sat down in a chair, and began to review the experimental process.
His greatest advantage now was the immense computational and reasoning ability bestowed by his Divine Attribute.
This meant his rate of progress would be swift; as they say, failure is the mother of success. This failure would only allow Wang Ye to absorb a large amount of experience. He could effortlessly notice details others couldn’t and easily deduce logical problems that stumped others.
Usually, the rate of progress in a discipline correlates with human intelligence. If human intelligence is rated at 10, then when a discipline’s development falls below 10, progress will be swift, and when it exceeds 10, progress will slow considerably. Currently, human biology may develop no more than a 20, but Wang Ye’s intelligence already surpasses 100, meaning if he seriously worked on it, he could quickly advance cloning technology to the appropriate level.
As Wang Ye repeatedly reviewed and reasoned out the experiment process combined with theoretical knowledge,
Suddenly, Old Yi hesitated and spoke, "Wang Ye, I want to ask you a question. I don’t know if you would be willing to answer truthfully."
Wang Ye didn’t even turn his head, "Speak."
Old Yi: "This time in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, did you discover something special?"
Wang Ye: "No."
He naturally couldn’t truthfully inform Old Yi about discovering the extraterrestrial crystal cluster.
This high-energy material is extremely beneficial for his evolution and cultivation,
and on the entire Earth, there may only be this one extraterrestrial crystal cluster vein.
According to Wang Ye’s estimation, this high-energy material could be used in other fields of research, like energy and biology fields; this thing could indeed affect natural evolution, even evolving deep-sea beasts like the mutated megalodon from the extraterrestrial crystal cluster.
If known to Old Yi, they would undoubtedly exert national power to compete with Wang Ye for these scarce resources.
Therefore, Wang Ye temporarily didn’t plan to inform Old Yi about the extraterrestrial crystal cluster.
Once he no longer needed the crystal cluster, or once he discovers more crystal clusters,
he would consider sharing the resources with them.
Upon hearing Wang Ye’s reply, Old Yi frowned; he knew Wang Ye was surely hiding something,
just from the mutated megalodon that appeared in the live stream, it was evident there’s something undiscovered by humans in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.
Given Wang Ye’s observational powers, it’s impossible for him not to notice special features after diving to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.
The only possibility is Wang Ye is currently unwilling to share the resources with them.
Old Yi sighed, "If you change your mind, you can find me anytime."
Wang Ye didn’t answer, watched Old Yi leave, and continued deducing the cloning process. His brain’s computation speed was incredibly fast, and within half a minute, he had already deduced countless possible successful methods based on the previous practice, but they were only possible, and most would have a success probability not exceeding five percent.
"It seems cloning my duplicate successfully still has some difficulty..." Wang Ye shook his head. Actually, he could directly use a blood drop on the ground to create a clone, but clones created by this method often have certain genetic defects.
Wang Ye summarized the issue, he thought it might be because after long evolution, his gene has become similar to a complex code program; he could maintain stability because of his system, but if his gene were used to create a clone without a system, it would rapidly collapse due to overly complex DNA. The clone that nearly killed Old Yi before was merely an example of accidental success after countless experiments, but unfortunately, Wang Ye had killed it, and its corpse lacked research value. He could only rely on the experimental records left by researchers to gradually improve the technology.
Once any human aura completely disappeared within several kilometers.
Wang Ye then took out the crystal cluster fragments he collected from the crystal cluster vein in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.
The crystal cluster fragment, away from the ocean, bizarrely displayed a trace of multicolored fluorescence.
Looked as if it contained radioactive elements, like tritium, radium.
But Wang Ye didn’t perceive any harmful radiation to the human body from it,
only a concentration of primordial Qi.
That’s why he dared to take out these fragments in the military district.
Wang Ye scattered all the crystal cluster fragments onto the table.
According to his estimation, these crystal cluster fragments weighed approximately one pound.
To his surprise, these crystal clusters weren’t particularly heavy.
The density mass was roughly equivalent to iron.
Yet they possessed hardness and energy density far exceeding carbon acetylene.
This strange density and mass,
left Wang Ye somewhat perplexed.
How could this thing appear to defy the law of conservation of energy?
Wang Ye picked a fragment weighing about twenty grams,
pondering if this crystal cluster could aid him in his cloning research.
He first used a glass vessel to hold one hundred milliliters of purified water, placing this twenty-gram fragment into the vessel.
To observe if purified water could react chemically with this crystal cluster fragment.
Back when it was underwater, the crystal cluster caused primordial Qi leakage by chemically reacting with seawater, leading the megalodon to mutate into a terrifying sea beast.
After bringing it ashore, the crystal cluster fragment no longer released high concentrations of primordial Qi, instead transitioning to a slow release of primordial Qi.
So Wang Ye suspected, the activation of the crystal cluster might be related to liquids.
