Chapter 956: 816 Chapter A Complete Muscle_2 Chapter 956: 816 Chapter A Complete Muscle_2 The cultivation of an individual organ from cells in an artificial container ex vitro marked a first for humanity, bearing epoch-making significance.
Yang Ping suppressed his excitent and morized the cultivation period number displayed on the screen. He hurried to the cultivator, put on his gloves, gently opened the transparent cover, and carefully took out a single piece of complete muscle, moist with nutrient solution. He cradled the muscle in his hand and carefully observed it.
This was a piece of muscle obtained. Yang Ping had conducted a simple experint such as electrical stimulation; under the stimulation, it could contract normally.
Just like human muscles that cannot endure ischemia, this muscle could not be away from the nutrient solution for too long. Here, the nutrient solution acted like human blood, providing the muscle with sufficient oxygen and nutrients.
If it were separated from the nutrient solution for too long, the muscle would necrotize due to “lack of blood and oxygen.” Therefore, Yang Ping carefully returned it to the nutrient solution.
He then duplicated the conditions of this cultivator into thirty cultivators to observe if the experint could be replicated.
The experint was not only repeatable but also half of these thirty cultivators successfully grew muscle, while the other half failed, indicating that thods based on partial activations could not guarantee one hundred percent success, and carried a certain probability of failure.
Morning had co, and Yang Ping left the system laboratory. According to the system’s new rules, staying in the system space for a while could provide a rest more effective than actual sleep.
Yang Ping looked at the ceiling, his heart surging uncontrollably with excitent.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Xiao Su looked at Yang Ping, whose eyes were sparkling, staring at the ceiling, and asked.
Yang Ping tried to manage his emotions, “It’s nothing, just too excited.”
“You—you—you weren’t dreaming, right?”
“I indeed had a dream just now!”
“Do you need help?”
“If you could help, please do.”

After finishing the surgeries in the morning, Yang Ping left the remaining surgeries for Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang to complete. At noon, Yang Ping rested for a while in his office, planning to use the valuable lunch break to further progress with his experints.
Since the system’s rules had been changed, whatever he did in the system space technically gave his physical body a high-quality rest.
This ti, he intended to bring so crucial data from the system space laboratory out. After checking the data in the system laboratory, he morized all the data in his mind, returned to the real world, and imdiately recorded the morized information on A4 paper, filling dozens of pages.
Yang Ping had to hurry to replicate the experint in reality to accelerate the progress of the project.
After recording all the critical information, Yang Ping ticulously organized everything, then diagramd the experintal plans.
Once the diagrams were done, Yang Ping called Tang Shun, instructing him to co to the office with utmost speed. The laboratory director, who had just left the warmth of ho shortly before, sprinted to Yang Ping’s office after receiving the call.
“Professor?”
Uncertain about why Yang Ping was so urgently summoning him, Tang Shun worried it might be about Fukunaga Yasuko; there were days, recently, when Tang Shun, to accompany Fukunaga Yasuko shopping, hadn’t co to work.
However, Tang Shun had taken leave in advance for this, and Yang Ping never bothered about such things.
“Professor? A few days ago—”
Tang Shun sat opposite Yang Ping, who continuously organized the docunts in his hands without looking up, leaving Tang Shun no choice but to bring up the matter himself.
Yang Ping hadn’t listened to what Tang Shun had said. He tossed a stack of A4 paper to Tang Shun, “Try according to this thod. I have repeatedly verified and conducted rigorous logical reasoning. The spatial orientation gene definitely exists. If I am not mistaken, this segnt is the spatial orientation gene segnt that can govern the formation of muscle. This is the entire plan of the experint. It also includes the formula of the nutrient solution, the thods to activate and deactivate the gene segnts, and so forth. Take a close look and start the experint as soon as possible.”
Yang Ping’s tone was definitive and left no room for doubt. Tang Shun took the thick stack of A4 paper. Professor Yang wasn’t looking for him for this matter after all. I thought so, the Professor never cares about these matters. Why would he suddenly call him over to talk?
Spatial orientation gene? Does it really exist? Is this the spatial orientation gene ntioned in Professor Yang’s theory?
In a daze, Tang Shun focused his attention and began to review the docunts he had received.
The further he read, the more excited Tang Shun beca. His hands started trembling with excitent. The thick stack of A4 paper was covered on both sides with diagrams and densely filled with various annotations; the level of detail in the entire laboratory process was unbelievable.
This did not seem like a plan for an experint yet to be conducted, but rather a guide for an experint that had already been conducted.
Tang Shun stared at Yang Ping in astonishnt. How could such a detailed experintal plan full of details be made solely based on logical reasoning? Could Professor Yang simulate the entire experint in his brain?
From ancient Greece to the present, many scholars have used this kind of “brain experint,” conducting thought experints in the laboratory of their minds with rigorous logic.
Because many experints are impossible to conduct in reality, they can only be completed in the brain through logical reasoning.
For example, the great scientist Einstein was adept at brain experints, and while exploring the problem of gravity, Einstein conducted such experints in his brain:
Imagine you are in a sealed room and need to calculate the gravitational field inside. You might throw so objects around the room and then asure their speed to calculate gravity. But what if you are in an elevator moving upward or downward at high speed, or in a fast-moving rocket or airplane, doing the sa speed asurents? How would you differentiate the effects of gravity and acceleration? The result is that there’s no way to distinguish the differences in your environnt. Therefore, Einstein concluded that gravity is a characteristic of spaceti itself—its curvature, not a natural force.
Does Professor Yang also excel at these brain experints? However, the subjects of scientists’ brain experints are highly abstract topics.
Yet the experint detailed in the diagrams completely requires a vast amount of real equipnt and instrunts, many of which need trial and error, and are unsuitable for brain experints. Could Professor Yang possess the most powerful brain experint capabilities, allowing him to complete even such complex practice-oriented experints using strict logic in his brain?
How imnse would such logical thinking ability need to be? Tang Shun dared not imagine.
Every ti Tang Shun received such A4 paper, he was never disappointed. Following the experintal thods described on the paper, he succeeded on the first attempt every ti. This experint plan is very detailed, and it looks promising this ti as well.
“Get the experint underway as soon as possible. Arrange the funding, equipnt, and personnel yourself. The Research Fund has ample funds. Be mindful of keeping the data confidential and do not lose it carelessly. If there are no issues, you may go back,” commanded Yang Ping to Tang Shun.
Carefully, Tang Shun tucked away the thick stack of A4 paper, his excitent indescribable.
Without any delay, he returned to the laboratory and checked against the experintal plan to take stock of materials, calculate if the equipnt, reagents, and various experintal instrunts were sufficient, and then budget for the personnel and funds.
Soon he listed an inventory and began filling out the funding application form online. The dedicated Research Fund was highly efficient; after applying online, the funds were quickly transferred to the registered account.
In less than a week, Tang Shun initiated the experint—cultivating muscle from stem cells, aiming to cultivate a complete piece of muscle, not just muscle cells.
If it were indeed possible to cultivate a piece of muscle, that would be of epoch-making significance.
Tang Shun was extrely excited. He imrsed himself in studying the experintal plan all day. Such detailed and precise experintal steps, the temperature, humidity, and pH of the cultivator, were clearly recorded, so data even precise to a decimal point. Why were they so precise?
The configuration ratio of the nutrient solution. Why were the ratios of dozens of substances so precise? Could this also have been deduced? Tang Shun could not imagine that the brain’s logical reasoning could construct such a complex thought experint.
If this experint were to succeed on the first try—the whole field of biology and dicine would be propelled into a new era.
