Chapter 655 Animal Experiments! (Third Update!)

Di Yanjun's senior brother took the potion and quickly put it into the insulated box next to him. This stuff needs to be stored at a low temperature and can't be left outside.

He closed the incubator lid, carefully pushed the incubator, opened the laboratory door, and went out to the adjacent laboratory to collect samples and perform analysis.

A group of people outside the lab watched him push the box past.

When Di Yanjun came out, Leng Yun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "How was it? Did you succeed?"

"I don't know!" Di Yanjun shook his head and pointed in the direction his senior brother had left: "We'll have to wait until our senior brother has checked the data according to the information given by President Lin before we know if it was successful."

"If the data matches, it means we have at least successfully replicated the experiment."

"Next, we need to see what Mr. Lin's design is like. If it really can enhance genes as he says, then we'll see."

"At least in this respect, we are ahead of other countries and have the key to access the gene bank."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yun understood that the key to everything still lay with Lin Yi.

All of this is based on the premise that what Lin Yi gave us is usable.

Now, we need to quickly verify the data and then conduct the test.

Only when the test results are available can everything be settled.

Having figured this out, he gently pushed Di Yanjun forward, saying, "Then let's hurry up and go! We'll just look around from outside, we won't go in!"

"It's alright!" Di Yanjun walked ahead and whispered to comfort him, "The analysis lab has observation windows, so you can see directly inside from the outside."

"You can see the data directly outside, but nobody explains it..."

Finally, perhaps realizing the ambiguity in his words, he quickly added, "I can't explain it either, because I don't understand these data either!"

When they arrived at the analysis laboratory, Di Yanjun's senior brother was already prepared.

He placed the extracted samples onto the corresponding devices according to the requirements in the documentation.

The equipment started operating and began scanning the samples.

The beeping sound of the machine resonated in everyone's hearts. No one spoke. Inside the lab, everyone's eyes were glued to the monitors of their respective devices. Outside, people stood through the tempered glass observation windows, their eyes fixed on the lab inside.

A few hours later, the first set of data came out: the protein structure.

Di Yanjun's senior brother quickly looked at the displayed diagram, comparing it with the information Lin Yi had given him.

After checking it the first time, he rubbed his eyes and quickly checked it a second time.

His actions also caught Di Yanjun's attention.

Protein structure is the basic structure that makes up living organisms and is also a very basic structure in biomedical research.

It is composed of different amino acids and peptide bonds.

After years of research, biologists around the world have determined the structures of approximately 20 proteins. According to related research estimates, there are about 2 million protein structures that make up the entire biological world.

Biological research involves synthesis, temperature, humidity, and a whole host of other miscellaneous influencing factors.

When Lin Yi gave them the information, they learned that the core of their so-called "Old Army Doctor's Kidney Nourishing Soup" lay in three entirely new protein structures.

These are three protein structures that have not yet appeared on the global protein structure map. If this is true, they could publish dozens of papers with these three protein structures.

As for conducting this experiment, everyone's purpose is to experiment, that is, to practice.

In the first round, nobody expected this thing to succeed.

After all, these are three proteins that have never appeared before, and there are so many influencing factors. Although the data lists the influencing factors, who can guarantee anything?
But they succeeded!

With a pile of documents, they were able to replicate the exact same protein structure as described in the documents, without ever seeing the actual object.

Having worked in the field of biology for many years, he knew all too well how terrifying this was!
If he had had this ability when he was studying, he wouldn't have needed to revise his thesis so much, and he wouldn't have had to delay graduation.

He slowly turned to look at his junior brother, Di Yanjun, beside him: "Are you feeling the pressure?"

Di Yanjun touched his nose and didn't respond. After all, anyone who studied biology and attended classes properly knew how terrifying that was.

He lowered his hand and pointed to the monitor screen in front of him:
"Have the structures of the other two proteins been analyzed yet?"

"The machine is still running, it will take a while!" Hearing his senior brother's words, Di Yanjun couldn't help but press his right hand to his chest. He was thinking, what if the other two proteins had the same structure?

That would be truly terrifying!

He took a deep breath, walked out of the laboratory, and called everyone else in the research institute together. "Now, quickly prepare the lab mice, monkeys, and pigs for the experiments."

"Record their data carefully. Once the analysis results are available here and the data recording is complete, we will begin the testing."

"Remember, you must record the data carefully."

The others turned to prepare the experimental animals, and Di Yanjun walked to Leng Yun's side: "President Leng, I suggest that you terminate your plan."

"I'm really afraid of a biological crisis!"

Leng Yun shook his head: "You don't need to worry! A biohazard crisis isn't that easy to occur!"

"I believe you, but of course, I believe Lin Yi even more."

After explaining, he patted Di Yanjun on the shoulder with both hands: "Don't feel pressured. Remember, your task is to complete the experiment."

"Complete the experiment methodically, and leave the rest to us."

Relieved by these words, Di Yanjun returned to the laboratory to continue waiting for the analysis results.

Before long, the analysis results for the other two proteins were also obtained.

It's exactly the same as what's shown in the documents.

With the first foundation laid, the structures of these two proteins emerged, and Di Yanjun could only say that the data was complete and unmodified.

After the other equipment produced its analysis data and everything was recorded, the two brothers pushed the insulated box toward the animal laboratory next door.

They walked ahead, and Leng Yun followed behind with his men.

soon.

The group arrived at the animal laboratory in a large procession.

There are several animal laboratories, all of which have been partitioned and security has been strengthened.

The first laboratory was for mice.

The second laboratory is for monkeys.

The third laboratory is for pigs, specifically 400-pound pigs.

It's a pure black wild boar that hasn't been castrated yet.

At this moment, it was tightly bound to the chopping board, letting out screams.

Seeing the pig, Di Yanjun turned around and looked at the research institute director with a puzzled expression: "This..."

He really wanted to know if the group of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people present could hold down a 400-pound pig, and what would happen to that 400-pound pig if it were given a gene-enhancing drug.

In the end, will they be the ones slaughtering the pigs, or will the pigs be the ones slaughtering them? This is a question worth exploring.

The institute director shrugged and said, “The problem of step values ​​is that mice are used to test protein fusion, monkeys are used to test adaptability, and this pig is just right to test the enhancement effect.”

The director's explanation resonated with Di Yanjun, who quickly divided the medicines according to the laboratory dosage based on the information provided, and then handed them to his colleagues who were waiting in the laboratory.

He didn't go inside; instead, he stood outside the laboratory, directing the people in the three laboratories to inject the drugs in sequence.

In the first laboratory, there were 10 very cute little white mice, each with a serial number on its cage.

Once everything was ready, the researchers immediately injected the mice with the drug in batches.

The first mouse was injected with a relatively light dose, and the doses increased sequentially from the second to the tenth mouse.

Because of the increased dosage, the registration time varies.

The first mouse was completed the fastest, but after the injection, there was no reaction.

It took quite a while for the medicine to seem to take effect.

It started circling endlessly in the cage, seemingly with inexhaustible energy.

The 10th mouse reacted the fastest; immediately after the injection, it started jumping and banging wildly in its cage.

The cage, made of high-strength stainless steel and covered with sensors, made a series of soft, rustling sounds when the white mouse bumped into it.

The people in the lab immediately turned to Di Yanjun, seeking his help.

He gently shook his head: "Continue to record the data, especially the impact force on this white mouse, it must be recorded clearly."

"If these mice are still alive after 5 minutes, we will start drawing blood from them for drug analysis."

"If he/she is dead, first draw blood, then perform an autopsy."

After arranging Laboratory No. 1, he went to Laboratory No. 2.

The injection work in Laboratory 2 has been completed. Perhaps because monkeys were used, their drug resistance is stronger than that of mice.

Therefore, even with increased dosage, the monkeys did not show much reaction after the injection.

It took a good 10 minutes before the monkeys began to react, but they weren't as agitated as the mice; instead, they were restless, looking around anxiously.

It looks like they're looking for something.

After glancing briefly at the injection times displayed beneath each cage, Di Yanjun suddenly turned to the institute director and said:
"Go get some fruit!"

The director paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "Look, I completely forgot!"

The director quickly turned to look for fruit, but Leng Yun had already looked away. He had overheard their conversation, and only after the director left did he ask in a low voice, "Why are you taking fruit?"

Di Yanjun rubbed his forehead. "The information provided by President Lin contains very detailed requirements for personnel during injections."

"It requires the preparation of a large amount of protein that can be directly injected into the blood vessels."

"But there are no animal experiments."

"Those mice didn't perform very well; they looked like they had gone crazy."

"But these monkeys were clearly not like that; they looked more like they were hungry."

The director quickly returned with the fruit, which he had taken from the break room.

He handed the fruit to the researchers, who quickly distributed it to the cages of the five monkeys, giving each monkey two oranges and one apple.

When they got their hands on something to eat, the five monkeys became extremely eager, stuffing oranges into their mouths without even peeling them.

An apple the size of a fist was devoured in three bites.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the lab couldn't help but take a step back. This...

Is this going to turn into Rise of the Planet of the Apes?
Di Yanjun watched all this, then slowly turned his head to face the director, who pointed to the door and said, "I'm going to buy something now!"

Take whatever you have!

After eating a little something, the monkeys became less agitated and calmed down a bit.

After donning protective gear, the researchers picked up various equipment and began examining the monkeys.

The first thing we did was check their appearance and weight.

As their inspection began, they also noted some of the corresponding changes:

"Subject #5 lost 0.7 kg! During this period, they consumed three oranges (0.4 kg) and an apple (0.1 kg), and there was noticeable muscle enhancement in their arms and thighs..."

"Experimental Subject No. 4..."

"Experimental Subject No. 3..."

After the data from the last test subject was reported, Di Yanjun turned to Leng Yun and asked, "President Leng, how are you feeling?"

Leng Yun withdrew her gaze from the experimental subject and let out a long sigh. "It's pretty surreal..."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze from Laboratory 2 to Laboratory 3.

The 400-pound wild boar had stopped squealing, and after seeing the situation in the second laboratory, the researchers in the third laboratory did not rush to administer medication to the pig.

Because it's really possible that you can't hold them back.

Looking at the situation in the laboratory, he asked in a low voice, "Shall we continue with the experiment?"

This time, it was Di Yanjun's turn to answer.

Di Yanjun nodded. "Since we're already here, and this pig hasn't been castrated yet, we can't eat it; we can only use it for experiments."

Perhaps having heard his words, the pigs in the laboratory, which had just quieted down, started screaming again.

But because it was fixed to the ground, it could only let out helpless cries.

He walked over, nodded to the people in the lab, and they took out a large veterinary needle, drew the enhancement agent into the syringe, looked around the pig's neck, and pricked it in.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, approximately 80 milliliters of medicine was slowly injected into the pig's body.

After the push, the people in the lab quickly evacuated, leaving only the pig, which was tied up on the ground, and the monitoring equipment attached to it.

One second, two seconds.

One minute, two minutes.

Five minutes passed, and the pig still didn't move, nor did the heart rate data on the monitoring equipment change significantly.

Di Yanjun scratched his head, just about to send someone in to check if there was a problem with the equipment, when the pig in the laboratory suddenly let out a squeal.

Immediately afterwards, on the heart rate monitor, the heart rate of this 400-pound wild boar started to rise from 80 and, in the blink of an eye, exceeded the upper limit of 150 for an adult wild boar when running.

In a short while, it broke through to 210 and began to hover around 210.

The heart monitor emitted a scream, which, along with the pig's screams, resounded in everyone's ears.

Their ears throbbed with pain, but no one closed their eyes, because the pig's body was changing within their visible range!
