Designed Evolution
Gene Editing Technology actually emerged in the 21st century, but with the technology at that time, the accuracy of the target edited fragment could not be guaranteed. This meant that the gene fragments that were incorrectly edited or replaced could have already occurred in thousands of recipient cells, but due to the mechanism of gene editing, it was difficult for people to detect such errors.
This error could very well be due to the pruning of normal gene expression, which could create hidden dangers of various unknown causes or even various deformities in the human body.
However, humanity has now solved these problems.
The emergence of precise Gene Editing Technology has given humanity access to treatments that directly target the root causes of various diseases. In other words, from now on, people will no longer have to worry about diseases such as AIDS, Alzheimer's, and others.
Among the many technologies in the field of biotechnology, in addition to the technologies mentioned above that affect bodily functions, there is another technology that has received special attention from society.
That is the Appearance Hereditary Factor Editing Technology.
Yes, during the research of life-saving drugs, humans found that gene segment related to facial appearance and figured out the expression mechanism of that gene segment.
This means that humans can use Gene Editing Technology to cut out genomes that are considered ugly by human aesthetics and replace them with gene expression sequences that are considered handsome or beautiful.
This technology is known in human society as Gene Plastic Surgery.
However, because it is achieved through Gene Editing Technology, it cannot be adjusted out of thin air. When you cut out a gene segment, you must have a corresponding gene sequence to fill it in.
This is easy to understand; it's like cutting off one end of a rope and replacing it with another.
Of course, the actual operation is not that simple. Gene cutting is not actually done with scissors, but with enzymes. The technology of using enzymes to cut genes is called Zinc Finger Nuclease Technology.
The general process involves artificially and purposefully editing one or more specific genes, then introducing them into recipient cells through an expression vector to produce the desired effect.
Since the recipient cell already contains thousands of cells, it is impossible to simply insert a fragment of the edited gene into it. Therefore, how to implant the edited gene into the recipient cell and allow it to multiply is a very important consideration.
There are six methods for introducing foreign genes in the 21st century. The first is the Transformation Method, which uses a salt solution that can densely aggregate foreign genes on the surface of bacteria or cells, allowing the cells to quickly and readily accept all the DNA.
The second Protoplast Fusion Method, which uses voltage perforation or gentle chemical dissolution to create temporary porosity on the surface of the cells to be modified and the cells carrying foreign genes. Then, they are allowed to huddle together tightly to exchange genetic material, ultimately achieving the purpose of modification.
The third type: Gene Gun. This involves coating exogenous genes onto tiny metal particles, making them the vehicles that carry the exogenous genes, and then using high-pressure gas to propel the metal particles into the nucleus of the recipient cell.
The fourth method is the well-known Viral Vector and Retrovirus Method. This method utilizes the infectivity of the virus to modify a weakened virus, and then sends it into the nucleus of the recipient cell carrying the foreign gene.
The reason I say it's familiar is because in many novels and movies, people suddenly develop a high fever and then gain some kind of superpower. This is probably based on the knowledge that this virus carries foreign gene fragments to modify the receptor.
The fifth method is called Microinjection Method, which literally means using a very fine needle to inject a liquid containing foreign genes into the nucleus of the recipient cell.
The sixth method is Sperm Delivery Method, which, as the name suggests, involves placing sperm and foreign genes together, allowing the foreign genes to mix into the sperm and cause them to fuse. The transformed sperm is then combined with an egg outside the body, and after developing into an embryo, it is transferred to the uterus for gestation.
Of course, these six methods are outdated for modern humans and are neither applicable nor satisfactory to modern human society.
Because the requirements of human beings for gene technology are not only applicable to newborn embryos, but also to a large number of adults who have lived for many years.
Only in this way can we avoid the potential for a split between the New Humans and the Old Humans.
Therefore, humanity has now discovered a seventh method called the Comprehensive Metabolic Method. The core technology of this method is the same as that of Life Elixir, and it can be said to be a derivative technology of longevity technology.
The procedure is very simple: the exogenous gene is combined with the carrier solution of the Life Elixir, and then injected into the recipient's body by injection, just like Life Elixir. Finally, two oral medications are taken for auxiliary conditioning.
One of these two medications is a drug that accelerates the body's metabolism. As the name suggests, this drug speeds up the renewal of human cells, and its side effect is that the more you eat, the more you poop.
The second type is an inducing drug, whose main function is to make the body preferentially produce cells with foreign gene fragments during the cell renewal process.
Clinical trials have shown that, with the assistance of these two drugs, recipients can complete facial editing in just three months.
If someone wants to become handsome or beautiful, they must eat and drink excessively for three months, roughly eight meals a day, making them a veritable poop-generating machine.
However, precisely because of this, the person must have a powerful stomach, as well as other organs in the body such as the spleen. Therefore, in order to carry out this kind of modification, the person's physical condition must first reach the peak level of a normal person.
Of course, if an adult wants to change his appearance, in addition to meeting the above conditions, he first needs to obtain a cosmetic surgery approval certificate from the relevant department, and then he needs to find someone willing to provide genes, that is, the source of handsome, good-looking genes.
For example, if you think your protruding mouth is ugly, you need to find someone whose mouth you think is beautiful, and with their consent, give you the gene fragments related to mouth shape so that you can have the genetic source.
There are two purposes for doing this: first, to ensure that the Base Pair human genes are not shortened or lost due to editing; and second, to ensure that people who undergo genetic modification do not end up with unspeakable appearances.
After all, if you only cut out the ugly genes without knowing the source of the fragments, who knows what kind of result the artificially modified gene fragments will make you look like?
Although humans have mastered Gene Editing Technology, they are still far from Dao Foundation, as well as its most basic operating principles and hidden secrets.
In other words, the precise Gene Editing Technology that humans have mastered so far is only the beginning of the path of Designed Evolution.
However, it is of great significance because if humans can accurately find the gene sequence corresponding to each part of their body in the future, they can use this method to modify or even transform it.
This would allow humanity to break through the limits of being an ordinary human being, starting from the genetic level, and even regain the abilities lost in human evolutionary history.
Those are abilities possessed by various organisms throughout the history of life evolution on Earth.
Humans believe that the secrets of those abilities and functions are still deeply hidden within those three billion Base Pair.
Yes, before understanding the mechanisms of left-handed and right-handed rotation, it is neither possible nor possible for humans to acquire the abilities of the life forms on Wolf 1061 c Planet.
However, this does not mean that the life on this planet has no research value. Humans can study various organisms, compare sample genes, and find similar gene fragments in themselves. They can even imitate powerful sample gene structures and make targeted modifications to the corresponding genes expressed in humans.
This is the general idea and details under the broad concept of 'Human Body Enhancement Research'.
This is known as Designed Evolution.
