As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 128 Qualitative Analysis of the Demonic Brain

The above is the answer from an unknown online writer. He wrote a lot of things in a very eloquent way, but little did he know that these were things that someone had already thought of.

The Administration of Anomalous Matters and the research institutes under its jurisdiction have already conducted relevant experiments.

Creatures cloned from creatures with souls also have souls, and the result of hybridizing a dog with a soul with a dog without a soul is completely random.

The only thing of value in the answer of this unknown online writer is the presentation of some kind of higher-dimensional matter in the three-dimensional world.

The next day, Qidian deposited 800 yuan into his card, noting it as labor fee. He sighed inwardly, "I get 800 yuan in labor fee for just one trip. Please arrange more of this kind of work for me. I will come even if I need to take leave."

As for why it is 800, personal income tax will be deducted for amounts above 800, so 800 is just right.

Wiles asked, “Are you ready?”

The nurse next to him replied, "Professor, it's over. You can get up now."

Wiles: "It's hard to have a full body checkup every day."

Hundreds of tests are done every day, from blood draws to local tests, which are the basic ones.

Some functional tests will be done every few days, including reaction, intelligence, physical strength, etc.

Before being injected with the magic brain, Wiles could never have guessed that as a mathematician who proved Fermat's Last Theorem, he would one day have to take an IQ test.

The head of the magic brain research team is a Japanese. This is one of the concessions made by the English side in order for Wiles to obtain the magic brain.

Tasuku Honjo is this Japanese, winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

As usual, he got Wiles's medical report and read it carefully: "Although I have read Wiles' medical report many times, every time it brings me new surprises."

"We need to extract cells from between Wiles' head and neck."

"I suspect that he has a whole new population of cells in his cranial nerves."

The assistant beside him replied, "Okay, but I can't guarantee that Professor Wiles won't resist having his blood drawn twice a day."

Honjo Tasuku paused and said, "Then let's add this indicator to tomorrow's physical examination."

Wiles still has a high status in the base.

Especially when it comes to cooperation between the two countries, Honjo Tasuku hopes to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

The next day, the test results were as Honjo Tasuku expected.

"Sure enough, new cell groups appeared in Wiles' cranial nerves."

Normal human cranial nerves originate from only two special cell populations: cranial neural crest cells and ectodermal placode cells.

"But we couldn't tell which signaling pathways were altered to cause the cells to differentiate and result in a whole new population of cells in his cranial nerves."

"Our understanding of how intercellular signaling between neural crest cells and placode cells is coordinated during cranial ganglion morphogenesis is poorly understood."

"Now a new cell population has appeared in Wiles' cranial nerve. Whether this cell population is a new cell population or multiple, we need more samples for analysis."

Honjo Tasuku muttered to himself.

The assistant stood quietly beside him, waiting for Honjo's instructions. After collecting his thoughts, Honjo said, "Please find me the paper on the Ptch1 loss-of-function mutant. I need to take a look."

Role of the Ptch1 functional receptor in regulating Shh signaling during cranial ganglion development.

Ptch1 Wig/Wig mutants exhibit elevated Shh signaling consistent with trigeminal and facial nerve disorders.

Enhanced Shh signaling was previously found to inhibit canonical Wnt signaling in brain regions.

This effect seriously affects the survival and migration of cranial neural crest cells; it also affects the development of placode cells and the integration of neural crest and placode.

Honjo Tasuku hopes to find some inspiration through the experimental design of this paper.

They knew nothing about the Demonic Brain, let alone the ability to monitor the microscopic changes in Wiles' body in real time.

There is no way to understand how Wiles acquired the ability to cast spells step by step. We can only know what new changes occurred in his body after the fact. There is no way to understand how the new changes work.

These things gave Honjo Tasuku an extremely strong sense of frustration. He felt as if he had returned to his childhood, with everything around him unknown.

After Honjo finished speaking, he continued, "We first need to determine the type of cell population in Wiles' body, and then we need to determine how the receptors of the new cell population in his body interact with other nerve tissues, such as the trigeminal nerve and facial nerve."

"Secondly, we need to clone more cells from his new cell population and clone the Wig allele of Ptch1 to test whether it produces a truncated protein in transfected Hek293T cells."

“The resulting Western blot was probed with an amino (N)-terminus specific Ptch1 antibody to confirm whether the Wig allele of Ptch1 produced a stable truncated form of PTCH1 and to measure its migration.”

"To further evaluate the impact of the Wig mutation at the level of the new cell population, we performed qPCR experiments using mRNA extracted from cloned cells."

The assistant nodded repeatedly: "Hey!"

Honjo Tasuku waved his hand and said, "I don't know if my design will work. As the Chinese say, it's just a last resort."

Honjo had tried a similar experiment when he found new nerve cells appearing in Wiles' body, but he did not find any valuable information.

Not to mention replicating the magic brain.

When institutions from various countries got the magic brain, they thought it was a cell and tried to clone it, but it turned out to be not a cell at all, let alone a clone.

They attempted to conduct qualitative analysis of the brain using ESI–QqTOF-MS and ESI–QqTOF-MS/MS with mass spectral library searching.

It turned out that they could not make any analysis at all, so scientists once again confirmed that Magic Brain and Blue Star Technology are two completely different systems.

Simply put, this technology is to build a spectral library using hundreds of substances as reference samples, and then for each reference compound, collide with the test substance at ten different collision energy values ​​between 5 eV and 50 eV to obtain the product ion spectrum.

The measured product ion spectrum is then compared with the data in the mass spectrum library through matching probability values ​​to find similar substances.

This is just one of the methods that scientists have tried. They have tried many methods such as Raman spectroscopy comparison, targeted analysis, and database retrieval.

Although the magic brain can be obtained repeatedly after consumption, it also requires a cooling time.

This is a backdoor that Zheng Li specially left for Blue Star. Since you want to study it, then let you study it. Anyway, you can't figure it out.

The cooling time is a limit set by Zheng Li. When the magic brain is consumed and not used, you will need a cooling time of one month to apply for the magic brain again.

The research on the magic brain was painful, and it was even more painful for them to figure out how Merlin achieved space teleportation and teleported the magic brain to a designated location.
