CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 135 EXPERIMENT_3
"After completing Chen Ming’s task, individuals can apply to return to the main Star Realm and partake in the research of Spiritual Creatures."
This long series of commands is still acceptable for G3.
The replication experiment is something that requires individuals to perform, and he personally created the individual of this Spiritual Creature, so the task will definitely fall on his shoulders.
Additionally, when studying this Spiritual Creature later, he will definitely not be able to avoid it.
So G3 accepted the command.
The deformed flesh tissue, which had already stabilized life signs yesterday, was isolated in a separate room of the Cloning Research Institute.
At the same time, G3 also moved a cultivation chamber there, specifically used to ensure its survival.
Moreover, during previous research, G3 discovered that this mass of flesh tissue seemed to have some instinctive behaviors, as if it was craving nutrients to repair its previously damaged cell tissue.
Thus, G3 stored a large dose of mixed Nutrient Liquid essential for human survival inside the cultivation chamber.
After all, it is derived from the conversion of part of a clone’s organs, so it will need everything a human does, as long as the concentration is normal, there won’t be any problems.
After completing these tasks, G3 began to restore the process of the previous cloning experiment based on past experimental data and video records.
Although the probability of success for the experiment itself is very low, so low it can be ignored.
Because the simple fact that the stem cells cultivated from the clone are not the same already presents an unsolvable problem.
Therefore, G3 does not believe the replication experiment will succeed, but he proceeded normally and simultaneously carried out two sets.
Not only to complete the task but also with a sliver of genuine hope.
For one set of experimental materials, G3 used the DNA material Chen Ming left at their factory when he stayed there recently to clone stem cells, which is the default configuration.
For the other set, he extracted extremely minute cells from the mutated flesh tissue. After verifying these cells were identical to normal cells from Chen Ming’s clone,
he used ordinary cells from the mutated flesh tissue to clone stem cells, then carried out subsequent experimental operations.
This was considered a method to improve the success rate.
The next steps weren’t complicated, which involved specifying the differentiation of the stem cells from both sets of experimental materials solely to the heart organ.
At the same time, he strictly controlled the clone cultivation environment to remain identical to before.
The following task was just to wait for deformities to appear, which would mark a successful beginning for this experiment.
However, among the batch of clones that previously produced this mass of deformed flesh tissue, there was only one clone that exhibited heart deformities.
The others either developed normally or had issues in other places, which basically did not affect the heart.
So whether heart deformities appear is subject to probability.
And now, within these ongoing experiments, each set has a standard output of fifty clones.
Since G3 just needs to see if a deformed heart can be cultivated and doesn’t need to fully mature the clones, the results are obtainable in just a few hours.
However.
In the first batch of one hundred clones, under the control of the stem cell directional differentiation inducer in the cloning experiment process, none exhibited deformities when differentiating cardiac muscle tissue.
All completed differentiation according to the originally planned processes without abnormality, ready to continue to the next phase’s differentiation of remaining body tissues at any time.
In other words, the first batch of experimental materials was entirely considered a failure.
Consequently, all results only warranted injection of reagents for disposal.
Of course, G3 maintained a degree of attention to these discarded materials to avoid repeating previous occurrences.
After uploading the results of this batch experiment, G3 quickly received a response.
The higher-ups requested that experiments be conducted again, until all stored materials in the institute are exhausted.
Furthermore, additional materials will be sent subsequently, and they will retrieve the Spiritual Energy flesh tissue sample at that time.
The preparation of materials themselves doesn’t require much time.
But to transport samples across the entire Human Empire back to the main Star Realm in Dusk and ensure the sample lives throughout the transfer is a troublesome task.
So they still need some time to prepare.
G3 had nothing to say, continuing to accept orders as usual.
Besides consistently monitoring Chen Ming, conducting cloning experiments became what he consistently needed to do.
He quickly replaced the Nutrient Liquid and various additives in the cultivation chamber that produced a pile of failures, and began the second batch of experiments.
Soon, the results naturally failed again.
G3 had no extra thoughts, except occasionally glancing at Chen Ming who was always holding a terminal and watching it, while continuing the next experiment as ordered.
Until two days later.
In the sixth batch of experimental samples, G3 finally awaited a clone.
On him, heart deformities reappeared.
The total number of clones G3 had produced was at least over five hundred.
Ultimately, counting the previous one, only two exhibited heart deformities, a probability of 0.4%.
This already considered a high probability.
Yet evidently, this was only the probability of heart deformities; the likelihood of Spiritual Energy appearance was not as high.
The second individual with heart deformities did not exhibit Spiritual Energy Fluctuation like the previous clone.
