The first hurdle to be overcome was functional balance, which Song He had expected.
After all, he had once made algae produce explosive ingredients. If even such an unrelated function could be achieved, getting artificial Composite Leukocytes to secrete some immune substances would be even easier. Although academia had no idea what genes could secrete explosives, they knew very well what genes could secrete fine Interleukins.
But the way they broke through was beyond Song He's expectations.
His original plan had been to create a kind of Composite Leukocyte capable of secreting various basic immune substances.
However, the experimental team had simultaneously produced three kinds of artificial Composite Leukocytes. They had all differentiated from the same type of cell template and looked identical on the surface, but their secretions differed slightly.
Song He led the team in working overtime day and night, trying to fuse the three Composite Leukocytes into one, but all forty or fifty attempts ended in miserable failure.
Forcing them together always produced a large amount of toxic secretions or directly eliminated the immune substances. They had no idea why.
By the weekend, Song He finally surrendered. "Forget it! If they won't fuse, we won't force them to. We'll just use three kinds of Composite Leukocytes! It'll only make the production process a little more troublesome. As long as they work in the end, that's enough!"
The team members also breathed a sigh of relief and voiced their support for their leader's decision to give up.
"Boss, give them names," Lou Jinghui said. "What should the three Composite Leukocytes be called? We can't keep referring to them as A, B, and C, can we?"
"I can't be bothered to name them. Let each of the three groups name one," Song He said. "That way, all three groups
