Chapter 136 The first person to eat crabs

Leal spent almost every minute building a new accessory heart based on lizard serum.

He still didn't know what the time difference between the two worlds would look like, so he had to hurry up and figure it out.

Overall, its structure is quite simple and can basically only be seen as a minor modification to the original prosthetic body.

Although the technology of 2011 does not have many bioplastic options, if done well, it is possible to hide these small parts that can cause a huge immune response into the accessory heart.

Design is a complex process, but the real trouble is how to implement the transformation:

The prosthetic body is directly in the body, and the transformation must also be carried out in the body - but who will perform the surgery?

Leal thought of a solution: perform the surgery on himself.

He will not lose consciousness and reason due to the pain caused by the operation, which is a very advantageous condition.

Secondly, he is equipped with a very advanced spinal prosthesis, which if handled well can control almost every nerve in the body.

Preset some programs and then make a behavioral chip to perform the surgery in a semi-automatic way - this was the only way he could think of.

But in this case, he would have to transport the cyberpunk world's prosthetic doctor gloves--

Excluding those replaceable tools and extensions, the total weight of the gloves is 500g while maintaining functionality, thanks to Lear's original choice of gloves instead of replacing the entire arm.

Still, there aren't enough technology points available.

So Leal spent a lot of time replenishing his knowledge of genetic engineering, and spent a whole day working in Connors' laboratory to create a second genetically modified iguana.

[Has mastered basic theoretical knowledge: Molecular Biology (Professor Connors)]

[Reward technology points: 100]

[Has mastered practical engineering technology: cross-species genetic modification (Professor Connors)]

[Reward technology points: 100]

[Complete cross-species genetic modification for the first time]

[Reward technology points: 200]

[Current technology points: 620]

Throughout the day, Hammond, Peter, and Professor Connors watched little by little as Leal transformed from an introductory student in this field to an expert.

Not just an expert, Lille smoothly completed the synthesis of the medicine and injected it into the iguana without anyone's assistance.

Connors did not give Lear any guidance in engineering, but Lear learned quickly and did it quite standardly.

The second iguana ate its first meal after its genetic modification. Hammond said blankly: "Uh, boss, I should call you boss now."

Are you really a high school dropout? "

Of course not - Lille said in his heart that strictly speaking, his highest degree of education is higher than everyone here.

However, it is difficult to compare war years and peace times.

Lille spread his hands: "Of course - you have to admit that there are geniuses in this world. We can use this iguana for publicity, or as an additional observation sample."

"Okay." Hammond said bitterly, "Fortunately, I didn't choose to further my studies back then. It would be useless to study anyway, it's all natural."

"That's it." Lear took off his gloves, "Let's report the situation."

Hammond was the first to report: "We have found a seller for all the experimental equipment. Now it is easier to get the purchase permission for these equipment, thanks to Professor Connors' signature.

However, it will take a few days to transport it. We can first discuss with the engineering team about the expansion of the zoo and laboratory.

I have some candidates, but my boss told me that I have other arrangements. "

Leal nodded and signaled the next one.

Professor Connors gave his second report, looking a little sad.

"The experiment has been reported to the school, and there is no problem with the ethics review. The key is that I can't find volunteers."

As expected.

Donating blood is a minority, let alone donating bone marrow.

As for organ donation, that stuff is harder to get than bone marrow.

Let hospitals or donors give up the chance to save patients and send precious organs to laboratories for research?

They don't have such a big face yet - if time goes by, some might be willing, but not now.

"It doesn't matter, I found it."

Lille took out several signed voluntary donation agreements--

"As you may know, I have some appeal in Hell's Kitchen. I asked my people to talk about this in the community, and there were a total of six donors."

This is when the benefits of being a good person come to light.

Rich people can use money to recruit people, but most of these people choose to do these things out of necessity.

And if you make people's lives better, you don't have to worry about finding volunteers.

If nothing else, Skye, John, Anthony, and their families are all willing to be volunteers - but there may be other problems with using Skye's bone marrow for experiments.

Connors' eyes showed surprise, and so did Hammond - in his mind, his evaluation of Lille had once again improved.

This boss has a structure.

The idea of ​​using money to solve problems is simple and crude, but it is somewhat naked.

As a Dreamer who has been in poverty for a long time, Hammond is more interested in the way Lear finds volunteers.

In his eyes, using money to drive people to do things is no less than using money to get a woman. It's not that he looks down on this kind of behavior, it's just that he prefers to rely on his own people to attract women.

Although he's not very good at it.

Leal continued: “Regarding the construction team, there has been widespread unemployment among workers recently, and Hell’s Kitchen has been the hardest hit area.

After the accident at United Construction Company, another group of people were laid off, and we can recruit workers from these people.

As for qualified contractors, as long as you post a message in the newspaper, a large number of companies on the verge of bankruptcy will come to your door. I don’t need to teach you this, right? "

"So...we take a contractor and ask them to hire temporary workers from among the unemployed workers in Hell's Kitchen?

Interesting idea boss, you should form a union yourself. "

Leal laid out another document and pointed to the line on it: Hell's Kitchen Workers Mutual Aid Association.

“Actually, it’s already being done. In my cooperation with the NYPD, I hired several unemployed electricians, and now I can add a few construction workers to register such a union.

The ctOS system will statistically select workers who meet our requirements, and you can conduct further interviews.

Then I need you to communicate with the president of this mutual aid association. He is a newbie, but I think he has some potential. "

The president of this union is Anthony who loves to speak very much.

Hammond nodded again in admiration.

"Boss, if you don't do research and focus on running the company, you will be a very good CEO."

Lear smiled: "So are there any questions?"

Connors and Hammond looked at each other and shook their heads.

There is almost no doubt or confusion in the general direction. Working in this kind of team makes people feel at ease and very motivated. They just want to get into the next stage of work immediately.

"If there's no problem, let's adjourn. Professor Connors, Peter. Let's take a sample of the new experimental subjects."

But Peter raised his hand: "Uh sir, is this going to take a long time?"

Lille thought for a while and said, "It's four o'clock now. It can be finished before five-thirty, and it won't be more than six o'clock at the latest. Do you have any arrangements?"

"I'm going to a prom - you know, graduation season, there's a lot going on."

"Then let's hurry up -" Lille stood up from his seat and put on gloves and a mask again, "We can't miss the graduation season activities, Professor, we won't rest."

Professor Connors also smiled: "For those who don't know, I thought you were attending the event - have you ever considered returning to campus?"

Leer shrugged and started to operate the machine: "I am already on campus, with like-minded friends, studying meaningful things together. Is there any better campus life than this?

Peter - Turn on the electron microscope. "

Leal removed the sample and put the object into an electron microscope.

Peter looked at Leer who was concentrating on him, with envy welling up in his heart -

He is still too young and does not have that much knowledge reserve to support his participation in research, so he can only do odd jobs.

It would be nice to do more.

"Sir, how do you become so perfect?"

Lear looked at the electron microscope and was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Peter strangely: "Perfect?"

Peter also noticed that he used strange words and said immediately: "No, no, I mean, you always look full of energy and energy."

What Professor Connors saw as a setback was seen by Lear as a milestone;

When there was a problem with purchasing the experimental body, Lille directly deceived the opponent and his territory;

Even though he didn't have long to live, Lille never showed signs of anxiety or loss of composure even once--

Looking back at myself, it seems that I am anxious and worried all the time, and will fall into depression within a few minutes.

But in the final analysis, if you have to compare, his things seem to be nothing compared to Lille!

Lear patted Peter: “You are still young, so you prefer to focus on what you don’t have yet.

But look around you, don’t you already have what many people dream of? A brother from a rich family, excellent grades, and internship opportunities that no one else could ask for. There are simply too many.

Have some confidence in yourself. "

Peter just nodded. Uncle Ben often said these words to him.

But like all adolescent boys, he felt that he had heard it, and he only felt it to himself.

Looking at Lear who was lying on the monitor again, he said: "Sir, do you think a human experiment will speed up the development of lizard medicine?

What I mean is, every second we finish development earlier, we potentially save more people. "

Lille did not raise his head again this time and just said: "Yes - but rashly ignoring ethics and morality in unclear circumstances will only lead to more serious consequences.

We will not conduct human experiments rashly, and it would be heavy to sacrifice even one life for this.

The first person to eat a crab will be considered brave, but as scientists, we should know as much detail about the crab as possible before eating it. "

An ambitious young man who devotes himself to experiments is an impressive thing.

But like in the cyberpunk world, hundreds of thousands of physically disabled soldiers who are sent to laboratories to experiment with various technologies are just statistics.

The two seem very different, but the relationship is quite subtle.

You can send a person to the test bed when the experiment is extremely unsafe, and of course you can send a second person on it, and everyone will follow suit.

A broken moral bottom line is difficult to repair.

Peter was convinced.

But his subconscious mind focused more on: The first person willing to volunteer must be a hero with a spirit of sacrifice.

The first person to eat crabs is always very courageous.
