Chapter 664 - 428: Ten Thousandfold Microscopic Focus
After the fragment was placed into the liquid, the liquid immediately began to boil.
Sizzle!!
In an instant,
the indigo mist that Wang Ye had seen at the deepest part of the Mariana Trench,
evaporated from the liquid all at once.
Moreover, the mist spread at a very fast speed,
blanketing the entire glass vessel in the blink of an eye.
This highly concentrated Primordial Qi instantly invigorated Wang Ye’s mind.
But he didn’t use the Creation Skill to absorb the Primordial Qi.
Instead, he continued to cultivate the clone within the indigo mist-shrouded area.
Typically, therapeutic cloning embryos require three to five days, which is the blastocyst stage.
From sampling to birth, a cloned organism usually takes eight to ten months.
But the speed of Wang Ye’s cell growth and development defies common logic.
Even without using oocytes for cultivation,
a drop of his blood dripping on the ground could develop into an embryo within seconds.
However, such a primitively grown individual would have very severe genetic defects.
The clones cultivated using enucleated oocytes grow more slowly, but the resulting embryos possess a certain intelligence and uniform form.
Even though the growth speed is slowed, a blastocyst can still form within minutes, and within half an hour, grow into a palm-sized embryo.
With sufficient nutrition, it can grow to the size of an adult human within a day.
This is why the previous researcher was able to successfully cultivate over a hundred clones in less than a month, with many cells perishing in the initial stages of the experiment.
With the already rapid-growing clones being immersed in the high-energy material released by the Crystal Cluster Fragment, who knows to what extent their growth speed would be intensified?
After a few minutes of precise manipulation, Wang Ye observed the cells rapidly develop to the blastocyst stage,
Wang Ye had an idea and placed it into the liquid that reacted chemically with the Crystal Cluster Fragment.
Buzz!!!
In an instant, upon coming into contact with the indigo mist, the originally tiny blastocyst swelled violently, its surface quickly covered with dense black scales, the edges jagged like sawteeth, opening and closing rhythmically with its breathing, oozing mucus and blood streaks, while the volume of the blastocyst grew visibly larger.
Gradually, the surrounding liquid was completely absorbed by it. To prevent it from breaking the vessel, Wang Ye directly placed it into a cultivation chamber.
Infusing the clone with enough nutrient solution,
while observing its changes.
Within seconds, the blastocyst developed into an embryo, with limbs proliferating at a biologically impossible speed, exposing bony spikes at the joints, twisting and extending its spine, its tailbone piercing through the skin forming a whip-like appendage, swirling a milky white turbulence in the nutrient solution when flicked.
As the clone’s size exploded, it also led to a rapid consumption of the nutrient solution,
it consumed energy like a black hole, with the nutrient solution level visibly dropping, while the supply pipes emitted a cracking sound under the strain.
As the muscle tissue of the clone proliferated explosively, the pressure gauge inside soared to danger levels, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the tempered glass.
As the embryo gradually formed complete organs, its premature eyes rotated rapidly in their sockets, the suddenly open scarlet pupils locked onto Wang Ye outside the chamber,
its five fingers turned into claws repeatedly scraping the chamber wall, making a piercing screech.
The metallic scraping noise, mixed with low-frequency roars, resonated, causing all the laboratory equipment to tremble.
But even as the clone was on the verge of breaking out of the cultivation chamber, Wang Ye nonchalantly observed this clone, "This test subject seems to already have about seventy-five percent genetic similarity with mine, which is forty percent higher than the best subject the previous researcher cultivated. It seems apart from technical improvements, the Crystal Cluster Fragment also provided a certain degree of genetic integrity support for the clone."
However, although the similarity is already seventy-five percent, achieving perfection still has a long way to go. The closer to perfection, the more challenging it becomes to make further progress, no matter the field.
Reflecting on this, Wang Ye shook his head, and before the clone could break the cultivation chamber, he activated Mind Control, pacifying the clone within half a second.
Then he reviewed the process in his mind, correcting some mistakes, and continued to start cultivating the third clone.
························
························
Time quickly flew by.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Wang Ye had already spent two days in the cloning lab.
During these two days, he cultivated over a hundred clones in the lab, from the initial seventy-five percent genetic similarity,
to nearly eighty-six percent genetic similarity at the end,
even Wang Ye felt a bit exhausted.
But what exhausted him was not the experiment itself,
but the phase of mental review and rapid reasoning after each experiment.
This is why he made significant progress with each experiment.
He can confidently say that the cloning technology he now masters has far surpassed the human peak.
But due to the complexity of his genes, the clones he cultivated were still a bunch of bizarrely shaped monsters.
Only a few could maintain a human form, possessing intelligence close to humans,
