Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 1595: Even a 1% Probability
[… He was the wealth of civilization, and from the moment the torch lit, his life no longer belonged to him alone. His torso eventually turned into earth and earth, blood into mountains and rivers, and in another form lived in people's hearts forever, like a compliment to the Father.
[However, all creatures of nature are eternal in their love of light and heat, not just men. I can understand that this is not about getting more from him, just because we haven't gotten out of the pain of losing him...]
[January 11, 2025, Rain, recorded in Shangjing.
Almost a year has passed since the disaster on Mars.
This year Xiaotong has been writing a diary every day, hoping in this way to get a moment of tranquillity from his grief.
Write the date on the footer, close the diary and sigh lightly.
It has been three days since we came to Beijing. It has been raining at least two times in the past three days. It has not been sunny once in the past, as if the dryness in the north is a joke.
As for why you came here at this point...
We have to start with a conversation three days ago.
It was also a rainy day when a woman dressed in plain, slightly bright eyebrows found her home and presented her with a document in her hand.
Similar documents she saw from her brother's best friend, from which she presumed to be a member of the security services.
As for her name, her name is Yeon Yeon.
“… have you thought about it? While this plan is indeed important to us, it is understandable if you refuse. ”
Looking at the document on the coffee table, Xiaotong sat on the sofa for a while and then reached out and picked up the pen and filled in his name.
She looked up at the woman sitting across from the coffee table, showing surprise, and smiled and said.
“I was actually thinking about doing something similar a long time ago, just thinking about… his name. ”
The tone moderated slightly, Yan Yeon said.
“… the name is not in a hurry, and there is still a long way to think about it. ”
“How is that possible? This is an important thing,” Lu Xiaotong laughed and said, "If we must bring this little life into the world, I still hope to give him an identity. After all... he should be my nephew according to his real grade. ”
Of course, it could be a niece.
Even with scientific means, pairing chromosomes is a random process.
The woman sitting opposite the coffee table was silent for a while and did not reply to the sentence, but took over the document in silence.
Indeed, as Lu Xiaotong said.
Even if she refuses to sign, they will do as planned.
However, everything would be done without her knowing it. And the birth of a newborn child will also live in the world under a different identity and last name.
Anyway, Yeon-yeon doesn't mind, the child is by his surname.
Xiaotong: “How long will it take to see the results? ”
Yan Yeon: "The project was on horseback last year and is now in the clinical phase. The results should be visible as soon as October. ”
Xiaotong: “October... can I be there then? ”
Yan Yeon immediately said: "Of course, you can always stay abreast of the latest developments in the study, so let's say… if it's convenient, please come to the scene. ”
“There's nothing inconvenient, I'll be there," Xiaotong smiled and said, “I'm not interested in love, but I'd really like to have a child. ”
Yeon lowered his head and said softly.
“Thank you…”
“You're welcome,” Xiaotong shook his head and smiled, "I said, which is what I expected myself. ”
……
The so-called bloodline program, by definition, is for the continuation of the bloodline.
The entire plan was based on the results of a recent breakthrough study.
That is, skin cells are induced into induced pluripotent stem cells (ips) by an analog of CD38 glycoprotein and cultured into hPGCLC - that is, primary germ cells - in vitro by special induction differentiation techniques.
The study was originally designed to help infertile patients fulfill their desire to have children, and earlier, the experiment had been successful in mice and the related paper had been published in Cells. Scientific research has been slow, owing only to potential ethical risks, which have led to considerable controversy and security scrutiny of the technology.
However, in the immediate future, the relevant research has suddenly made very modest breakthroughs.
Although the Ark did not leave its own genetic factors before going to Mars, things like blood samples, somatic cells, etc. could still be found.
After all, Yan Yeon, a private doctor of the Ark, has been working with him for some time.
The whole process of blood planning is actually very simple, which is to use the power of science to cultivate the somatic cells of the ark in vitro into hPGCLC, and then combine them with the excellent samples in the oocyte to produce tube babies that can inherit the veins of the ark.
Future generations born in this way are safer than clones and avoid ethical risks.
And for Little Tong, the whole plan doesn't need her to provide any cells, not even her as a mother. The only thing she needs is a legal identity.
That is, this tube baby will be born into the world as her child...
In fact, strictly speaking, it is extremely risky to use this immature technology directly to nurture human newborns.
And it's also clear that even if it's exactly the same gene, and it's expressed exactly the same way, it doesn't necessarily create another scholar with the same academic ability as Master Lu.
But even a 1% chance is worth a try.
After all, that's the man who changed the whole scientific process and changed the world pattern on his own.
Even a newborn nurtured in this way cannot keep up with the footsteps of an ark at the mental level, or at least preserve his veins.
Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, another scholar will be born who is no less despicable than he is and will use his knowledge to change the world once again.
Rather than being left with blood, it is the seed of hope...
So he waited quietly for 10 months, waiting outside the maternity ward of Hospital 301, picking up the baby crying in the swaddle from a doctor in a white coat.
“We did it! The newborn is very healthy and this is an absolute miracle in the history of medicine! ”
“Shh, don't scare him,” ignored the doctor who quickly shut his mouth and didn't talk, stared at the baby crying in his arms with a merciful look, Xiaotong's face floated with a faint smile, said softly, "Life itself is a miracle...”
Compared to the doctor —— or the researcher's excitement, the baby's girlfriend -- there wasn't much joy in smiling about victory, or just drowning and quiet happiness.
Nor does she know what the source of happiness is...
She had never been a mother, not even a lover, and could not talk about the crystals of love, but the moment she looked up at the baby in her arms, she had a sense of fate.
It's like life is given a new meaning, and something invisible is passed down.
Whether he was born by the hand of nature or because of the power of technology in this world, that feeling will not change...
“Just call you Lu Yuan. ”
At the moment when the name was read out, Lu Xiaotong's mind had made up its mind.
She will raise him and raise him to be as kind, brave, great and wise as her brother.
From this moment on.
She is his mother...
