Chapter 1182: Chapter 928: To extend our view to the utmost, ascend one more story

Germany, Berlin, Charite Medical College Laboratory.

Professor Mainshtan was extremely excited. After bringing back from China the protein factors that could activate muscle spatial orientation genes, he couldn’t wait to start experimenting in the laboratory. Now, through the transparent outer shell, one could see pea-sized muscles inside the cultivator.

What cute little fellows, Professor Mainshtan thought as he looked at the "little peas" in several cultivators, almost going so far as to kiss them.

He could no longer wait for the muscles to grow a bit bigger. He wanted to thoroughly study these little things to find out exactly what they were.

With the help of his assistant, he carefully used special tweezers to extract a tiny "pea" from inside, and then prepared an ultra-thin tissue section to observe under the microscope, to see what structure these things really had.

Judging from both the longitudinal and transverse tissue sections, this was a complete muscle, not merely orderly arranged muscle fibers, but also including interspersed blood vessels, lymph ducts, and nerves. It was so perfect.

The connections between cells and the microstructure of the muscle in the human body showed no abnormalities. It did not rely on any foreign artificial substances as adhesives or shaping agents. This was genuine muscle artificially cultured, whereas currently, muscles manufactured using biological 3D printing technology could only mimic the appearance, failing to replicate or come close to the inner structure.

According to Yang Ping’s theory, cultivating a piece of muscle was just the beginning. If the activation factors were modified to control the spatial genes more precisely, it would be possible to artificially cultivate specific muscles such as the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, gastrocnemius, etc., achieving a similarity in shape, structure, and volume with the actual muscles.

What a miraculous theory, what a miraculous cultivation technology—it was akin to cultivating a real apple in a box, detached from the apple tree.

"Professor Mainshtan, is this real muscle? Did we manufacture a real piece of human muscle inside this box?"

The assistant asked eagerly.

Professor Mainshtan said excitedly, "Take a look for yourself, share my joy with me!"

Currently, the passage of time in the System Space happened concurrently with real-time, only that time in the System Space moved much faster.

As Yang Ping lived and worked in the real world, experiments in the System Space Laboratory proceeded without any delay.

Yang Ping calculated the time; the System Space Laboratory should almost have results by now. He entered the System Space.

Regrettably, the results were unsatisfactory. Although the modified K factors could adapt to the human body, when introduced into the test subject’s body, they did not produce the anticipated effect.

In this experiment, Yang Ping had introduced over four hundred modified K factors at once, but all of these proved to be failures, unable to function within the test subject’s body.

If this had occurred in reality, it would mean that a team of thousands of people had invested tens of billions of US dollars and more than a decade, all for naught.

But this took place in Yang Ping’s System Space Laboratory. What he lost was only points and a very small amount of time. If the time spent in System Space was converted into real-time, he’d lost just a few days. Moreover, this time progressed parallel to his real life, so there was no waste of Yang Ping’s actual time.

If a few days didn’t suffice, then try a few more days; and if that still failed, try yet another few days!

Yang Ping carefully reviewed the paths he had already taken and stored all the incorrect routes in the System Panel. The System Panel acted like a computer and became a powerful assistant for Yang Ping. After all, how could one possibly conduct any experiments these days without the help of a computer?

Avoiding the paths already taken, Yang Ping began anew, modifying the K factors and picking new structures. There was no other way; this kind of experiment was a process of trying out every imaginable possibility one by one until a successful protein factor was identified.

Of course, there was also the possibility that it would all be in vain, unable to find a suitable K factor that could be used in the human body. This wouldn’t be surprising, as many new drug research projects end up like this, with the success rate being far below ten percent; all the effort culminating in only a few percentage points of success.

The System Space Laboratory possessed extremely low time and resource costs, but there was no advantage in terms of luck.

Failing and trying again was not a big deal.

Yang Ping carefully analyzed all the data and then mentally replayed the entire experimental process. Drawing on these failures, he began selecting new experimental paths to restart the experiment.

Trial and error, relentless trial and error. That’s the most painful aspect of scientific research, which is why those who cannot endure solitude can’t engage in research.

All of Sisi’s test results had come in, including the PEC-CT. Yang Ping sat in his office, with the professional electronic imaging screen placed on his desk.

The PEC-CT image appeared on the screen. The office had very good lighting. It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or Director Han’s deliberate choice, but when viewing imaging in the office with the electronic screen positioned this way, one could clearly see every detail in natural light without any glare.

After all the hardships, both surgery and the Gamma Knife, still, those detestable tumor cells weren’t eradicated. Their seeds spread everywhere along with the blood circulation. Now, the shadow of tumors could be seen in the head, lungs, liver, kidneys—they were omnipresent, growing wildly.
