Gao Mi explained the various technologies to Xu You seriously, and Xu You listened carefully while thinking correspondingly in his brain.

Many of the techniques Gao Mi mentioned were known to Xu You before, but there were also some that Xu You heard for the first time.

"Academician Xu, my team has indeed done research on cell-based artificial meat before. The technology here is mainly divided into four major steps. The first is to extract stem cells from animals and use them as seed cells to produce specific meat.

Part. For example, if we want to produce a specific muscle fiber of the animal, we can just extract the specific muscle stem cells from that part in the body of the living animal."

"This sounds a bit like the limb regeneration project we did before, but the purpose of the experiment is very different." Xu You said.

"Yes, it is true. The second step is the large-scale proliferation of stem cells. In vitro culture, the number of stem cells will increase exponentially every few days. Theoretically, only one stem cell is enough.

Cultivate 10,000 kilograms of meat. Of course, this requires enough time to cultivate."

"The next step is to induce differentiation of stem cells. Academician Xu, you must know that even if you only produce a certain part of meat, it will not be just a single cell, but a combination of many different cells. Therefore, we

The cells need to continue to differentiate and fuse into the basic structural unit multinucleated cells we want to produce."

"Finally, there is the post-processing process. Because the principles of cell growth are different, the appearance of our meat cultured through cell-based artificial meat technology is still somewhat different from real meat. Therefore,

, and final post-processing is needed to make them more similar."

After listening to the entire process described by Gao Mi, Xu You understood that there is still a long way to go before this technology can truly be marketed.

After thinking for a while, Xu You said:

"Professor Gao, I think the technical results we have achieved in studying amputated limb regeneration technology and various stem cell technologies can also be considered to be applied to cell-based artificial meat technology. No matter how big the purpose between them is.

Although there are differences, in fact the technical core is still very similar."

Hearing Xu You's words, Gao Mi also nodded and said:

"Yes, Academician Xu, I also think this idea is feasible. Of course, if we do this, I don't know if it will taste as delicious as normal meat."

"It doesn't matter, Professor Gao, I will definitely find time to participate in the research when the time comes."

After receiving this promise from Xu You, Gao Mi finally felt relieved.

Gao Mi knew that although he was a world-class expert in this field, he might not be as good as Xu You in solving some key technologies.

This subject itself has very high requirements, and it is a technology that may be widely used in the future. High power itself still puts a lot of pressure on it.

"It would be best if Academician Xu can help. I have never seen a problem that Academician Xu cannot solve." Gao Mi said with a smile.

At this time, Xu You suddenly became serious and said:

"But Professor Gao, I still want to emphasize one thing first. Because I have a lot to do, I can't put too much energy on this project. There are still many more important tasks that I need to solve.

.So Professor Gao, you and your team are still responsible for the core work. You must remember this."

Xu You didn't want others to put their hopes in his heart. After all, there was only one Xu You, and it was impossible for him to solve all problems by himself like Superman.

Xu You specifically said these words in front of Gao Mi and several core members of the team so that they could go all out and try their best to solve the problem with their own strength.

Gao Mi immediately understood what Xu You meant and said quickly:

"Academician Xu, please rest assured that this is our job, and we will definitely do our best to do these tasks to the best of our ability."

Several other people also made similar expressions. Seeing that everyone had such a positive attitude, Xu You also nodded with satisfaction.

head.

"Okay, I have enough information about the cell-based artificial meat project. The other experts can go back to work first. Professor Gao, I have some other things I want to ask you."

Xu You tactfully expressed the meaning of "seeing off guests" to several people. Everyone immediately understood what Xu You meant, said goodbye to Xu You, and left.

At this time, apart from Xu You, only Gao Mi was left in the office.

Gao Mi didn't know what Xu You wanted to ask by leaving him alone here, but he couldn't ask first, so he had to wait for Xu You to open his mouth first.

"Professor Gao, do you think that if some people can live forever, would this be a good thing or a bad thing for the entire world?"

Being asked so suddenly by Xu You, Gao Mi was not prepared and was at a loss as to how to answer.

"Eternal life... If all human beings can live forever, it is definitely not a good thing and is not conducive to the normal reproduction and evolution of living things. If a very small number of people can live forever... it should still be something that can be considered."

Gao Mi feels that if some people who have made great contributions to mankind can live longer, or even live forever, it is definitely a thing that has more advantages than disadvantages for mankind.

Every extra day that a world-class great scientist like Xu You exists is a huge asset to the whole world.

"Yes, immortality is a tempting thing for many people. But once the technology of immortality becomes popular, it will also cause very serious consequences. Even if this technology can be successfully developed, it must be carried out

Strict restrictions."

Xu You did not explain to Gao Mi that he and Lu Zhiyao had taken specific nanorobots, which allowed them to theoretically live longer and even have the possibility of immortality.

Because this kind of technology is only suitable for people like Xu You and Lu Zhiyao, who have very good physical fitness. If ordinary people take this kind of nanorobot without permission, it will only cause more severe side effects, and even the life span will be reduced instead of increased.

What Xu You hopes to achieve is immortality technology with a lower threshold, so that people with strong scientific research abilities but poor physical fitness can also have such an opportunity to live forever.
