Chapter 356: Gene Enhancing Fluid

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the next several days, Tang Rui holed up in the lab, ceaselessly conducting gene experiments.

He experimented with various genes with special functions obtained from virus samples.

This was evident from the variously shaped and odd-looking mice in the lab.

Some of these mice were even the size of ordinary domestic dogs.

With sharp teeth and claws capable of piercing steel plates.

“Master, Gene Enhancement Solution 16 is ready.”

“Inject it into the mice.”

“Yes, Master.”

The robot approached the mice’s cage and injected the Gene Enhancement Solution into them.

After the injection, there were no immediate changes in the mice.

There were none of the dramatic effects like hair spraying out of pores-gene enhancement wasn’t that intense.

It was a subtle and gradual process; the modified genes replaced the old cells through cell turnover.

Only when all replaceable cells had been enhanced would the true be enhancement complete.

However, this enhancement posed a critical problem: it could contaminate the human genetic pool.

Could we avoid altering genetic material? No.

Without altering the genetic material, we could only cut and edit the gene chain. Apart from the difficulty of this operation, it would be like a kidney transplant with the risk of rejection.

Rejection from a kidney transplant can be controlled with medication.

But rejection from gene alteration could lead to a total collapse of the gene chain, which was irreversible.

The only solution was to rewrite the genetic data, modifying gene expression. This could enhance the entire bodily system.

But this altered the inherited genes, which was dangerous.

Once humans possessed this technology, everyone would start injecting gene solutions.

In a hundred years, original human genes would be untraceable.

Unless Tang Rui starts collecting human genetic material now, preserving the entire human gene pool.

Otherwise, this dangerous technology should be kept for personal use only and never shared.

After injecting the Gene Enhancement Solution, the robot used a radiation lamp to speed up the enhancement process.

Otherwise, it would take a long time for the mice’s cells to naturally regenerate.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

After the radiation exposure, the mice began to eat voraciously.

Half an hour later, the mice became hairless, their fur fell out, and their skin became pockmarked and shriveled.

An hour later, the mice looked emaciated, too weak to eat as they had lost all their teeth.

But they had ingested a lot of high-energy nutrients, so they had enough energy to complete their cell regeneration.

They just needed to lie there, excrete, and strengthen.

Two hours later, the mice got up again, gradually becoming stronger, and their teeth started to regrow.

With a bit of strength, they began to eat again.

Three hours later, the mice returned to normal, their fur growing back, though slowly.

By this time, they had mostly completed their cell replacement and overall enhancement.

Red Lotus, put a female mouse in there.”

“Okay.”

A female mouse was introduced into the enhanced mouse’s cage.

Upon entering, the two mice began to interact.

It was an exchange of pheromones, an instinct.

The enhanced mouse had far superior attributes compared to a regular mouse.

For the female mouse, the attraction was significant.

How to describe it?

If the unenhanced mouse was like a certain figure, the enhanced one was like a muscular version of the same figure.

Both are the same figure, but their attraction to females was completely different.

The subsequent events are self-explanatory.

Let’s just say, spring had arrived.

Squeak… squeak… squeak…

That was roughly what happened.

After a shudder from the enhanced mouse, the event ended.

Red Lotus, analyze the genetic information.”

“Okay, Master, please wait.”

Two minutes later, Red Lotus completed the analysis of the enhanced mouse’s genetic information.

The results were as Tang Rui had planned.

All genetic information was destroyed.

The destruction was at the genetic level, making the mouse sterile.

Tang Rui had tried many ways to solve the genetic issue.

Eventually, he thought of a solution.

If he couldn’t solve the problem, he would eliminate the problem source.

Since the genetic material was altered after the gene enhancement injection, simply preventing reproduction would be the answer.

In special cases, he could use the gene solution without worrying about genetic issues.

Perfect!

But now, one would need to have a child first or preserve their genetic material before using the gene solution.

Otherwise, there would be no offspring.

“Red Lotus, save the data for Gene Enhancement Solution 16, then destroy all materials, and create a self-destruct agent and five recovery agents to send to Mars.”

“Okay, Master.”

After observing the effects of No. 16, his research was complete, but he definitely wouldn’t use it himself.

However, for patients with terminal illnesses, this potion was a miracle drug, capable of bringing the dead back to life.

For current diseases on Earth, one dose of Gene Enhancement Solution was enough.

Until a virus capable of breaking the genetic lock appeared.

This Gene Enhancement Solution was unbeatable.

No virus or bacteria on Earth could affect someone who has used the solution, as their immune system would alter and absorb them as nutrients.

This function was a bioweapon’s inherent genetic ability.

But now, Tang Rui had incorporated this ability into the human immune system genes.

Thus, this Gene Enhancement Solution could cure all diseases.

Leaving the Life Sciences Lab, Tang Rui returned to the base.

“Red Lotus, dig a deep, cylindrical pit in Warehouse 37, at least 100 meters deep and 40 meters in diameter. Then create a large-scale bio-cultivation chamber.”

“Okay, Master..”
