Lü Yongchang's proposal left Mao Zhengzhi deeply shaken.
But...
Shock aside,
he had to admit that, although somewhat blunt, this was the experimental method most likely to eliminate all sorts of adverse effects.
A lab mouse's body was, after all, an integrated whole.
Enhancing a single tissue could easily trigger a series of chain reactions.
The heart-strengthening hormone was a case in point: it had indeed greatly strengthened the heart muscle.
But the blood vessels had received no corresponding reinforcement.
The final result had been a ruptured aorta and a dead lab mouse.
Fortunately, this had happened to a lab mouse.
If it happened to a human...
Mao Zhengzhi did not even dare imagine that scene!
So, after a little thought, he nodded in agreement with Lü Yongchang's proposal.
With their experience preparing the heart-strengthening hormone, producing the other types of hormones immediately became considerably easier.
And so, Lü Yongchang carried on his proud tradition from his days on Earth.
After assigning all the tasks, he once again turned his attention to another genetic engineering project.
The Magna visceral reticulum gene implantation project.
Unlike the hormone projects, this undertaking was far more technically demanding.
After all, they needed to implant a gene from Magna into an adult lab mouse and achieve perfect expression of that gene.
"Has the secondary compilation of the visceral reticulum gene been completed?"
Lü Yongchang asked Mao Zhengzhi as he walked toward another lab bench.
"It was finished just recently."
Mao Zhengzhi promptly replied, "They're checking it now. If nothing unexpected comes up, we can begin the experiment shortly."
Lü Yongchang nodded and quickened his pace further.
Editing the genes of an adult lab mouse was actually not difficult to accomplish.
As early as the Earth Era, humanity had gained a basic grasp of
