"Dr. Gu, has the effect of the second heart been tested?"
After a brief period of sadness and sadness, Xia Xu still asked the real question.
"Preliminary testing has been carried out."
Gu Haiming also gathered his thoughts and introduced: "This second heart is modulated and differentiated based on my own stem cells. It takes into account the heart function to a certain extent. If it is transplanted and the blood circulation system is reconstructed through a skillful enough surgery,
It should be able to replace and maintain life after the original heart is damaged."
"Replacing the heart? That's really good. It reduces the fatality of the heart's weakness. It can be said that it greatly enhances the survivability in disguise, which is extremely critical in combat, especially on the battlefield."
Xia Xu tilted his head slightly, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Gu Haiming: "But... using your own stem cells to cultivate them, Dr. Gu, are you planning to use yourself directly for the next stage of the experiment?"
Organ transplantation requires consideration of rejection. If there is a mismatch, the consequences will be very serious, and it is likely to cause the collapse of the autoimmune system or even backlash.
This also means that if the second heart currently cultivated wants to be tested on humans, it can only be transplanted into the cloned original body, Gu Haiming himself.
Putting aside the risks of the surgery, it remains to be verified whether the second heart really has no defects or hidden dangers. As the first human experimenter, this can be said to be extremely dangerous.
"There is no more suitable candidate now. After all, I can't use you, boss, as an experiment."
Gu Haiming seemed indifferent and shook his head with a smile: "It is not easy to find voluntary and legal experimenters in the Xia Kingdom who dare to risk their lives and have special and rare physiques."
"We can take our time."
Xia Xu frowned. Gu Haiming, a master of genetic engineering, was the only treasure under his command. If he did something in a hurry, it would definitely be a loss of blood.
"It's okay. It's not a direct replacement of the heart. It's just an extra heart. If there is any problem, it can be terminated and removed in time."
Gu Haiming smiled: "Boss, instead of worrying about the risks, you might as well find a way to find me a reliable surgeon as soon as possible."
"So, this is the real purpose of why you called me here today, right?"
Xia Xu glanced at him angrily and funny, and said: "I'm already looking for it, and I asked the officials to look for it nationwide, but I haven't seen anything that satisfies me yet."
He himself is also a carrier of a special protein. If the second heart technology is successful, he himself may also consider transplantation. Of course, he must find a reliable enough surgeon. Now that Gu Haiming has made up his mind to experiment for himself, that is even more true.
In terms of reliability, I believe there is nothing more reassuring than a five-star ultimate talent, and whether biomedical treatment or human body transformation is inseparable from the need for surgical operations, getting it right in one step will avoid trouble later.
"That's good, that's good."
After being exposed by Xia Xu, Gu Haiming was not embarrassed. After hearing this, he was even more cheerful. He shamelessly changed the topic and continued to introduce: "In addition to replacing the heart for life support, after my modulation, this heart is participating in the blood flow."
While circulating, the trapped K protein will also be filtered, and these trapped K proteins will be stored in one of the chambers of the second heart..."
K protein, this is a name given to the special protein by Gu Haiming and Xia Xu after discussion.
In fact, according to Xia Xu's idea, he planned to call this special protein directly the violent protein or the violent protein.
After all, according to the information revealed in the plot of "Batman", this protein can have a strong temporary increase effect on Yao Fu, and it can also be used to slowly enhance physical fitness.
What's more, according to Gu Haiming's research, the synthesis mechanism of this special protein is very similar to the secretion mechanism of endorphins. They are both produced in large quantities under factors such as pain, stress, fear, etc. It can be said that it is an obvious biological entity.
The wartime stress mechanism is very similar to the definitions of terms such as madness, rage, and madness.
However, considering the convenience of description and the avoidance of misleading and inertial tendencies, the two finally decided to abbreviate terms such as violent transformation to the initial letter K. This is the origin of the name K protein.
Gu Haiming was able to call him over so excitedly today, which meant that he had accomplished his set goal.
After the completion of the Super Brain Controlled Release Tablets, there was naturally an unlimited supply for Xia Xu, a core researcher like Gu Haiming, and a batch was specially synthesized in the middle of the process.
Gu Haiming lived up to his high expectations. With the enhancement of the super-brain potion, the research progress was very fast. In just over two months, the entire technology was almost completed. What is now on the Yingke Experimental Monkey No. 1 is the final product.
All that's left is final clinical testing.
This externally cultivated accessory heart will intercept the K protein in the blood after participating in blood circulation. The bodies of K protein carriers will try to replenish it after noticing that the concentration of K protein in the blood has dropped below the standard line.
Synthesis is carried out continuously, and more and more are gathered.
Secondly, the second heart itself can also secrete a small molecule peptide after being genetically modified by Gu Haiming.
Specifically, we can refer to the toxins of insects such as bees and bullet ants, which can be quickly absorbed and diffused by the body, quickly increase the body's sensitivity to pain and continue to produce severe pain, but will not cause substantial harm.
The secretion of this kind of toxin can be controlled by the nerves, so that it can actively stimulate the body to enter a state of stress and quickly secrete a large amount of K protein in dangerous situations.
Then there is the application of storing K protein in the second heart.
By controlling tissues such as heart valves, the chambers through which blood flows can be guided to control the interception and release of K protein.
This kind of release has two modes. One is complete release, causing the concentration of K protein in the blood to soar, and the body enters a state of temporary strengthening like madness.
The second is slow release. No matter which mode is used, it will stop intercepting K protein in the blood. Coupled with the slow release of stored K protein, the concentration of K protein in the body will gradually become higher than the normal standard line.
The reason why Xia Xu spent huge sums of money on Gu Haiming's research was not only due to his trust in his abilities, but also because Gu Haiming had thoroughly verified the theoretical basis and feasibility during this period of time.
Although the experimental sample was not sufficient, Gu Haiming repeatedly extracted a large amount of K protein from his own body and then reinjected it into his own body for testing.
First of all, K protein in a high concentration state will indeed cause a temporary explosive increase in the bodies of K protein carriers.
This enhancement is not due to potential overdraft or the like, but rather the fact that cells continue to absorb and use K protein at high concentrations, thereby temporarily increasing their own strength.
Hmm... maybe it's equivalent to obtaining a better supply of energy and nutrition during combat, replacing guns with guns, putting on armor or even driving a mecha?
The principle is relatively complicated. After all, protein is an important component of human cells and tissues. It is the basic organic matter that constitutes cells and the most important carrier of life activities. Even Gu Haiming has not completely understood its essence, so he can only rely on its performance.
Features are used.
Reality is not a game, so this kind of enhancement is still limited by dosage and basis. The higher the concentration of the special protein, the stronger the increase. The higher the original cell activity and intensity, the better the effect.
This is also the reason why the effect of Yao Fu's use is so obvious. For an old person like Gu Haiming, the increase is not very impressive.
But in addition to this temporary burst of enhancement, K protein can actually slowly strengthen the body permanently, or in other words, cells will slowly strengthen themselves when the concentration of K protein exceeds the normal standard line.
This standard line refers to the concentration at which carriers normally stop synthesis.
If the concentration of K protein in the body is above the standard line for a long time, it means that the body is likely to be in high-risk and high-pressure for a long time, and the body will strengthen cells in order to survive.
This is the typical logical mechanism of human body operation. Just like exercising, it actually means repeated damage to muscles, causing the brain to subconsciously think that the current body is not enough to adapt to the living environment. In order to improve survival ability, it mobilizes nutrients to enhance and increase muscles.
This mechanism is used in the slow release mode of the second heart to continuously maintain the K protein concentration beyond the standard line to make the body mistakenly believe that it is in constant crisis and unable to adapt to survival needs, thus beginning to permanently strengthen the body's constitution.
And because of the ability to absorb K-protein, this strengthening efficiency will be much higher than normal exercise. It is even an all-round strengthening at the cellular level. It will not lead to a triangular figure with only some muscles enlarged, nor will it have endurance and toughness.
Class defects look like goods.
"So, even without genetic modification, maybe I can one day achieve monster-level physical fitness like Uncle Luo?"
Xia Xu expressed full satisfaction with the results and answer sheet given by Gu Haiming.
At the same time, this also made him more urgent to find a surgeon.
After all, if he completes the clinical trials one day earlier, he will be able to carry out this kind of body modification one day earlier.
"Dr. Gu, let's use my stem cells to grow an identical second heart first. I hope to transplant it as soon as possible after the clinical trials pass."
Unable to resist the eagerness to try, Xia Xu casually gave instructions.
"It's okay to cultivate another one, but an experimental monkey can only carry one heart. If you cultivate another one..."
Gu Haiming first raised his head slightly, but then looked tentatively at Xia Xu.
Breeding another one won't be a big problem for him.
But it’s hard to make a fool of yourself without rice. You have to have tools and materials. Everything else is easy to say. The No. 1 Experimental Monkey of Yingke can only be purchased from Yingke Biotech, which costs a total of 10 million.
"Well……"
Xia Xu quickly realized this and his face froze slightly.
It's really hard for him to come up with so much working capital now. The three companies are all in their infancy, making more and spending more.
"Money is not a problem, we will allocate funds to you soon."
Xia Xu still gritted his teeth.
If you really want to make money, there are plenty of ways to do it. With his assets, he can easily get a loan of 10 million.
I just can't help but feel a little regretful in my heart - I should have made some requests to the special department before I knew it, and got some funds first. If that didn't work, I might as well have gotten a low-interest loan.
