Chapter 892 Repair
"It turns out... there is such a powerful ability?"
Looking at the scenes in the simulated space in his brain, Xu You couldn't help but feel incredible.
Xu You did not deliberately interfere with these processes, but simply relied on his accumulated knowledge and allowed them to complete the simulation procedures.
Xu You had previously thought that simply placing these gene fragments in the primordial soup might not cause any reaction, at least not quickly.
According to the simulation results in the brain simulation space, Xu You's prediction was denied.
This process was much faster than Xu You had imagined. After just a few days, the complete cell structure had been cultivated.
After comparative analysis, Xu You determined that except for the fact that these cells had one more gene than normal Texas red wolves, there was no other difference.
This extra gene only helps the Texas red wolf's DNA complete the cell repair process and will not cause any other reactions.
"From DNA fragments to cell repair... I never thought that the key to creating a cell would lie in a gene fragment."
Xu You was not sure whether a similar mechanism existed at the beginning of life on the Blue Planet.
But after billions of years of evolution, even if this gene once existed, it has long been completely eliminated.
After completing the simulation, Xu You continued to think.
Xu You knew that it was not enough to simply restore the somatic cells of the Texas red wolf, as these somatic cells could not spontaneously develop into complete biological individuals.
"We need to first remove this redundant gene, and then use the somatic cell reverse differentiation technology to reverse the somatic cells into stem cells. Finally, we need to complete the cultivation of the organism in vitro..."
Every technology here is not easy to complete, but as long as the general direction is determined, there is hope that this work can be completed.
After confirming the feasibility of this technology, Xu You did not immediately exit the brain simulation state.
Next, Xu You wants to simulate the process of resurrecting more extinct creatures to determine the success rate of this technology.
Xu You also selected a variety of creatures that have become extinct in recent years for simulation.
These organisms have complete image data, DNA information, etc., which can greatly help Xu You in his verification work.
In the subsequent simulations, these cells were successfully produced in the same way and were exactly the same as the original cells of the organism, except for an additional gene.
"Okay, now we can simulate a 'heavy' creature."
With these simulation foundations, Xu You prepared to conduct further experiments.
The so-called "heavyweight" creature that Xu You mentioned was naturally a dinosaur that had been extinct for tens of millions of years.
Dinosaurs have always been creatures that people talk about with great relish. Even if no one has ever seen a real dinosaur, it will not affect people's enthusiasm for dinosaurs.
However, the images of dinosaurs created by people now are just guesses based on the excavated fossils and people's imagination of dinosaurs.
As for what real dinosaurs looked like, no one actually knows.
"The dinosaur's DNA... doesn't seem to be complete."
Xu You used the artificial intelligence function of a quantum computer to search for dinosaur DNA. However, because dinosaurs have been extinct for too long, even if some cell remains could be extracted from dinosaur fossils, the DNA structures would not be complete.
Fortunately, Xu You had already mastered the gene repair technology. As long as there was enough information, it was not impossible to restore the complete DNA structure from the known partial DNA structure.
After all, there are certain rules in the structure of DNA. According to these implicit rules, as long as the DNA information is not particularly poor, there is still great hope of completing the repair work.
Soon, Xu You controlled the quantum computer to repair the genetic fragments of these dinosaurs.
Because there is a lot of uncertainty in gene repair, the results of gene repair are not unique.
However, Xu You can use simulation skills to verify the results of these repaired genes and determine which DNA fragments can be restored into cells and eventually become complete biological structures.
Thinking of this, Xu You began a simulation experiment to "resurrect" dinosaurs.
The results of the initial repair of several genes were directly rejected by Xu You because they could not be repaired into a complete cell structure.
As for some of the following genetic results, although some can be repaired into complete cell results, somatic cells are reversed into stem cells, or in the process of stem cell differentiation, various problems arise, resulting in the ultimate inability to develop into normal biological structures.
Xu You did not give up because of these failed results. Instead, he continued the simulation work while analyzing and summarizing the completed simulations.
"Um?"
At this moment, Xu You suddenly discovered that the restored DNA results had an excellent simulation performance.
Not only was this segment of DNA successfully repaired into a complete cell structure, but it also performed extremely well in procedures such as reverse differentiation into stem cells and in vitro culture, and successfully developed into an embryo.
And based on the comparison with the existing information on dinosaurs, it was proved that the DNA repair result was completely correct and no problems were found.
Xu You continued to increase the level of his brain power so that the simulation could continue at the fastest speed.
However, as the embryo continued to develop and grow into a mature individual, Xu You discovered some abnormalities.
"Why is the image of the dinosaurs in this simulated space so different from the image of the dinosaurs we imagined?"
If Xu You didn't have complete confidence in his brain simulation skills, he would probably have thought that there was something wrong with his simulation.
In the simulated space of Xu You's brain, a creature resembling an "ostrich" appeared.
This creature is covered with feathers all over its body, and its body is even much larger than an ostrich, making it look quite cute.
However, Xu You knew that the strength of this creature was not as cute as it looked, but it was a terrible monster.
"As expected, it is the largest creature that has ever existed on the land of Blue Star...it is so powerful."
