"Gene seed?"
Alexia was taken aback, it was clearly the first time she had heard of this concept.
"That's right." Sui Yang nodded slightly and said "The serum extracted from my blood is completely unsuitable for normal humans. For ordinary people, the serum is more like a deadly poison."
The most crucial factor that allows regenerated soldiers to adapt to the serum is that they are already dead.
Although the human body retains some activity after death, the immune system quickly becomes ineffective, thus avoiding rejection and other side effects.
Even if the re-engineered soldiers are finely tuned and perfected, they are still essentially the living dead, lacking any independent intelligence or beliefs. They are merely expendable weapons used to deal with superhuman scum or to carry out suicidal missions.
"That's true.." Alexia did not deny Sui Yang's point of view, and even echoed, "As for Vought International's Compound No. 5... although we do not have a physical sample of Compound No. 5 for the time being, according to my speculation, it should be a hormone that disrupts genes and induces human potential.
However, this hormone is random and cannot be programmed. Otherwise, Vought International would have had thousands of soldier boys long ago, and would not have built a research center that was ostensibly a welfare institution but was actually a place for human experimentation on children.
Such garbage. This kind of scientific research has deviated from its original purpose. Even if it creates a powerful individual like Soldier Boy, its uncontrollability, randomness, and significant side effects all indicate that Compound V is a failure."
This 23-year-old biology supervisor seemed to look down on Walter and Compound V.
Sui Yang, with his hands behind his back, neither commented on Alexia's viewpoint nor intended to be the riddle maker, but instead explained to Alexia
"Compound No. 5 has never been my priority. Previously, you only had my blood and gene samples. Now, you have Sanguinius and Guilliman, who are directly related to me. The increase in materials and samples represents more possibilities.
Therefore, I want you to use cloning technology to clone my body and theirs and conduct experiments to try to cultivate a gland with genetic information.
Then find suitable individuals are in the aged 8 to 11 based on their physique, genes, and other factors. The gland is then implanted into the suitable individuals bodies to slowly and safely modify them, allowing their bodies to gradually adapt and develop abilities such as self healing, strength, speed, and reaction time that far exceed those of ordinary people.
Waiting until these suitable individuals have passed puberty and grown into adulthood before undergoing comprehensive modification surgery will significantly reduce the mortality rate.
However, as I envisioned, by the time the first batch of super soldiers could be officially deployed to the battlefield, Dr. Wang's research department should have already developed exclusive power armor and weapons. Only then could the adaptees be considered true super soldiers.
At the same time, the gland will mature twice, once between the ages of 22 and 25 and again between the ages of 32 and 35, and new glands can be taken from the bodies of the fittest to be implanted and modified into more fittest.
As more and more adaptable individuals complete the modification, the number of super soldiers will also increase, thus completing the mass production phase.
And this is precisely the genetic seed I was talking about with you."
Sui Yang paused here, giving Alexia some time to process what he was saying, before continuing after a moment "Of course, all of this is just my prediction and assumption."
"No... Boss..." However, after listening to Sui Yang's story, Alexia's face was blank, and her left index finger was kneading her temples hard.
Suddenly, Alexia seemed to wake up with a start and quickly went back to her desk.
He sat up straight, woke up the computer from its sleep state with the mouse, created a new document on the desktop, and then, as if struck by inspiration, rapidly typed on the keyboard, saying in a rather excited tone.
"Boss! Actually, I've had a similar idea before, but I was young back then and thought it was unrealistic, so I put it aside. But after listening to your hypothesis, I realize that this approach is extremely feasible!"
Seeing that Alexia had fallen into a state of frenzy, Sui Yang turned around and was speechless. He had not expected that she had also had thoughts similar to the gene seed.
However, based on the emotional feedback obtained through psychic perception, Sui Yang could confirm one thing there were many factors that made Alexia quite excited, the most significant of which was that a new problem had finally arisen.
After all, for geniuses, completing challenges that the world deems impossible is extremely tempting, as it highlights their uniqueness that sets them apart from the ordinary.
As for the cloning that Sui Yang mentioned, in the world before he traveled through time, the first mammal, Dolly the sheep, had already been successfully cloned in 1996.
Most of the top pharmaceutical companies in the main universe possess highly advanced cloning technology, and Atlas has already applied it to the Thunder Warriors program.
However, both cloned sheep and cloned humans face the problem of premature aging.
Take Dolly as an example. Sheep typically live for 12 years, but Dolly was diagnosed with severe lung disease and arthritis at the age of 6.
Ultimately, due to a lung infection, Dolly was euthanized by researchers to alleviate her suffering.
In contrast, Atlas achieved a breakthrough in cell nuclear transfer technology in its bioengineering department due to the large amount of investment from Sui Yang, but the failure rate of cultivating synthetic oocytes remained stable at 77%.
Even if an embryo is cultivated and a cloned organism is successfully born using an artificial womb, more than 70% of cloned organisms still have serious defects or die prematurely.
Human cloning presents numerous problems.
The difference between humans and animals lies in intelligence. Cloned sheep can eat and reproduce based on their biological instincts, while a cloned human's physical age is equal to that of the original donor who provided the somatic cells, but their thoughts remain at the newborn stage.
Even with education, clones remain driven by instinct and are unable to communicate normally.
After opening the ruins and gaining warp energy, Sui Yang discovered that the clones were more like soulless beings without any self-awareness.
When the Thunder Warriors project was launched, Atlas's bioengineering department attempted to clone his cells, but the results were invariably deformed or even bloody, tumor-like tissue.
However, since it is about cultivating genetic seeds, deformities and sarcomas are not a big deal.
Wahhh! Wahhh!
Just then, a loud cry startled Sui Yang, who was about to leave the office to inspect the park.
Immediately afterwards, he went through the automatic sensor door and entered the isolation room.
When Sui Yang arrived between the two cribs, he found that both children were awake, and Guiliman was still the one crying the loudest.
Hehe~
But when the two children saw Sui Yang, they immediately beamed with joy and stretched out their chubby little hands, as if they wanted their father to hold them.
Seeing this, Sui Yang looked up at Alexia outside the isolation room and instructed, "After the Thunder Warriors project is completely completed, then we can start the new Super Soldier program. There's no rush, there's still..."
Cloning attempts against Saint Gilles and Robert at this stage are prohibited. After all, they are still children.
