Little Spider wore a pair of black-framed glasses, looking like a newcomer in society who had just graduated from college. His immature temperament made him an identity as a talented research assistant who had just graduated and was particularly convincing. He wore a long-lost formal attire, with a slight dull look, and he looked like a nerd.

It is also his true nature!

"I'm wearing too many red and blue tights, and I'm almost out of place for formal wear!" Little Spider complained silently in his heart: "Am I almost becoming a pervert who loves to wear tights?"

Lucius Fox is a thin middle-aged black man who looks very energetic. He is the CEO of Wayne Enterprise and one of the few people who know Bruce Wayne's other identity. He provides technology support to Bruce. The bat technology in many of Batman's equipment was developed by him.

But in general, he still prefers high-precision machinery, which is not very consistent with the biotechnology that the Lex Group is good at.

He was also a little curious about Peter's identity. Bruce would not explain too much to him. Although he and Alfred were the two people Bruce trusted the most, Bruce was a skeptic. He believed that there was no eternal secret or a person who kept it forever secret. Everyone had weaknesses, including himself, and the best protection for them was to prevent them from knowing too much.

So Lucius only knew that the bat needed the little spider to sneak into the secret laboratory of the Lex Group, and he didn't know much about the little spider's mission.

"Speak less, you play a taciturn image." Lucius explained: "The more you communicate with them, the easier it is to reveal flaws. You have bone conduction earphones implanted in your right ear. If you encounter technical difficulties and scientific problems, I will guide you remotely. Don't move around in the laboratory... Any small action will reveal your true level... It is difficult to fake academics."

"Are you taciturn?" Little Spider said in his heart: "I think you are making things difficult for me. Maybe I should play a person who looks taciturn but has a lot of inner scenes."

Lucius sighed, "For a taciturn person, the expression on your face is too rich!"

When passing by a laboratory, the little spider glanced at it twice. He obviously wanted to say something, but he was concerned about his personality and controlled his nature to hold back his talkative nature. When he arrived at the office provided by the Lex Group, the spider sensing did not detect any eavesdropping equipment, the little spider finally couldn't help it.

"Are they doing damageless cell replication?"

Peter talked endlessly: "I just saw that they seemed to be induced to cultivate stem cells through somatic cells, hoping to restore the functionality of the cells. But they seem to be in the first step to transform ordinary human skin cells into new "universal cells" with embryonic stem cell functions."

"Huh?" Lucius felt a little confused. He specialized in electronics and machinery. Biology seemed to have a broad range. Is it okay to study common sense and universality? For such front-end problems, he could only show his confusion and innocence.

"It seems that the biological research in your world is not very developed!"

The little spider said excitedly: "They used the method to breed unimaginable cells that can be suitable for the human body, because they used retroviruses during the recombination of genes."

He was excited and explained to Dr. Lucius: "Reverse transcriptase is a tool for viruses to modify DNA. It is a naturally evolved DNA compilation tool. Viruses transcribe their own RNA into DNA through reverse transcriptase, and then use the organelles of the host cell to transcribe, translating and synthesize progeny viruses... Just like Lao Wang, who is parasitizing in the reproductive system next door, using the other party's reproductive system to give birth to his own children..."

"I know what retrovirus is!" Lucius couldn't help but interrupt him when he heard the dirty metaphor of Spider.

"Oh!" The little Spider didn't know that the academic discrimination he had inadvertently exposed had stimulated Dr. Lucius.

It continues to explain: "Retroviruses are used as tools for gene recombination. If the method of using viruses as tools is inappropriate, it will cause gene contamination, that is, it will cause gene mutation, lose expression of the original cells, and cannot retain the gene expression of the original cells. Taking cloning as an example, using retrovirus recombinant DNA cells for cloning, it is likely that a huge tumor will be cloned. If that tumor can still maintain its human identity, it will look like a toothed egg!"

"It's like being bitten by a radiation-induced Sharpee!"

"And... it looks like a child born to a crocodile with another older and more disgusting avocado, and was ruined!"

Lucius couldn't help but imagine the malicious metaphor of the little spider, and then he was disgusted. He angrily interrupted the little spider's "thinking out a more disgusting description" game and roared: "I know what retroviral recombinant genes cause genetic mutations, and I also know what genetic mutations are. I have a professional doctorate degree from MIT. I am not a parallel product from state universities, nor a idiot from community universities!"

"You don't need to explain these questions to me!"

Spider said in surprise: "But I am a state university graduate! Empire State University... a research university rebuilt after the State University of New York was destroyed due to the apocalypse disaster."

"I was still in high school at that time and wanted to go to Harvard because it was the strongest school in biology. But later, after I heard in SHIELD that the SUNY system was destroyed, the US government intends to use its educational resources to rebuild a research university, study Skynet Technology closely, and cooperate with the friendly Alien Protoss tribe to run the school. Harvard and MIT are like three centuries behind. Then I changed my registration goals."

"Of course, I'm not saying MIT is not good. It has also trained Dr. Stark! I mean... Times, yes, are different. Faced with the challenge of the technological explosion, it is a little behind now. After all, it cannot be compared with Imperial State University... I mean it is not suitable to compare with Imperial State University, because we are closest to Skynet and we are also working with Star Spirits to cooperate and communicate with us. We have exceeded the limitation of the earth. Of course, within the earth, I mean that Massachusetts is a good university among the countries on earth!"

Lucius was extremely ashamed and angry, and almost turned his back.

Spider knew that he had said the wrong thing and kept explaining: "Massachusetts is a good school!"

"Shut up!" Dr. Lucius could only change the topic in order to avoid being humiliated by Spider: "What are the problems with the research of the Lex Group?"

The little spider returned to his familiar field, and vaguely noticed that the research level of this world was a little behind, and became a little excited. He said to his preferred biology. He kept saying: "Looking at their published information, they are challenging somatic cell cloning, not using somatic cell nuclei and egg cell cloning, but using somatic cell cloning completely. Now universal cells are just the first step. They want to use the somatic cells in their hands to create egg cells, which are more universal than stem cells, and they have to overcome countless difficulties."

"Their most headache now is the harm of retrovirus recombinant DNA to genes. With their research direction... there is no hope of solving it within five years... they have gone the wrong way!"

When the little spider said this, he suddenly realized: "They are trying to clone a group of specific cells. There are many problems. I can't get data on that kind of cell, but I can see that the characteristics of that kind of cell are very unique. In some places, such as vitality and genetic mutation, it has a benign promotion of research. The vitality of this cell is very strong and will not die easily due to experiments and damages. In other words, it is very durable and is especially suitable for experiments."

"But at the same time, the invasion of this cell will be easily eliminated, and it has to be cultured through the virus that symbiotically occurs in the cell itself. Therefore, this retrovirus has a strong destructive effect on genes. To use a metaphor to copy this cell, it is like studying an iron man with iron bones. An ordinary scalpel cannot cut the skin at all."

"Then someone developed a powerful gun, which is the retrovirus."

"I hope to use artillery to bombard the mother, break the Iron Man, and then strode the corpse to form a complete human form. And this is just the first step, and the ultimate goal is to resurrect the Iron Man into two!"

"Do you have a way to solve the problem?" Dr. Lucius heard the little Spider's implication.

The little spider smiled confidently: "I dare not say anything else, retrovirus... that's my specialty. I worked with Dr. Cotter to develop a method to transcribe lizard DNA into human DNA, and also helped Harry cure his family genetic disease. It was a retrovirus."

Even his superpowers were the result of his father using retrovirus as a tool to modify his DNA. The toxin of the spider is a retrovirus that transforms genes!

Of course, the little spider didn't say this.

"If we use the metaphor just now, we will dismantle a person with eight pieces and put them together with the animal's corpse. At the end, the man is not only alive, but also has the same ability as the animal. The difficulty is absolutely not inferior. Therefore, their headache is easy for me!"

The little spider said confidently: "They just didn't find the scalpel that dissected the iron man, and didn't find the enzyme that operates the cell DNA. I can even predict that the tool is in the retrovirus they cultivated. They just need to transform the artillery into a laser cutting ray knife."

Luther was having a headache in the office. The progress of cloning Superman in the laboratory below was extremely slow. If Superman's cells were not strong in vitality, they would have used up all the Superman blood and epidermal cells that Luther had not been interested in collecting. The laboratory was closed and Zhang Daji was fine.

There are many problems to clone Superman.

The simplest one is at least necessary to have enough experimental materials, so that you need to replicate superhuman somatic cells without loss. With enough superhuman cells, you can talk about the next step. The cultivation of lossless cells is not as simple as cell division. Even if superhuman cells can resist gene mutation, the genetic damage caused by dividing somatic cells multiple times without the human environment is also fatal.

What Luther wanted to clone was Superman, not a descendant of the genetic mutation of Superman.

To obtain superhuman lossless cells, the first thing to do is to restore the functionality of superhuman cells, that is, all-powerful cells and then develop to induce stem cells. The method of obtaining differentiated cells through stem cells has the least damage to genes.

But now if you want to obtain superhuman stem cells, you must first use retrovirus to recombinate genes. The damage to the genes in this process has reached the level of destruction.

There is no need for multiple divisions, and the cultured cells cannot be used directly.

Thinking of the difficulties of the experiment, it can be said that the progress was unpredictable, Luther had the urge to capture Superman and drain a tube of his spinal cord.

It would be best if Superman is a woman, so he can catch her, directly draw the eggs, then take the breast cell nucleus, and clone it for cloning and culture... He wants to catch Superman, and clone a ghost!

Superman's somatic cells were stolen while the alien general came to Earth to fight Superman?

Luther felt so tired... he couldn't love Superman anymore!
