Chapter 359 - Restructuring A Genome
David then proceeded to draw the complete gene structure of the human eye he had selected. After a few minutes, his expression suddenly fell. The structure he had drawn was completely different from what he was seeing through the lens.
It was as though he couldn't remember the pattern and was only just drawing the structure. Which meant that his few hours of learning was put to a waste just like that.
David froze in place for a while, his face very unsightly.
Becoming a Genetist was even more difficult than he had thought. If the eye structure was this difficult to learn, what about the other structures. Like like the nose, the mouth and even the limbs?
Who would even dare to become a Genetist under such harsh requirements. David sighed heavily. He had no choice but to try and learn the structure but this time, together with its pattern.
David stood there as he continued to gaze into the lens of the Genoscope. But this time, he made sure to notice what he was doing as he continued to note them down on the holo pad.
A few days later, David's eyes were completely red as though he hadn't slept for more than a week. Numerous little veins popped up and gathered around his eyes, making them appear quite blood shot.
Sweat dripped down repeatedly from his head down to the ground, forming a pool of sweat in the lab.
His hair that had been gelled into place had scattered around his shoulders, appearing quite sickly as he mechanical gazed into the large lens of the Genoscope for a few minutes and then turn to the holo pad to note down what he had learnt.
The entire lab was completely silent upon David's repetitive movements. It was as though there wasn't a single being present in the lab.
Suddenly David's movements turned rigid but his eyes went back to gaze through the lens. And then he checked back at his holopad, only to realise that the diagram was already complete.
He immediately slumped down to the ground completely exhausted. A few seconds later, a loud snoring sound thundered through the entire lab.
He was totally used up. All of his energy had been used to keep his brain cells energies which had completely squeezed him dry of all of his energy.
Now, this wasn't about the physical aspect since David would be able and willing to repeat a over and over again as he wouldn't be exhausted. But it was about the mental strength and capacity.
A normal Triple-gene would have killed himself out of exhaustion if he was to do what David had done for a whole day! His brain would have totally exploded.
It was a wonder how there were any Genetist in the world in the first place.
But what David didn't know was that there m are other ways to by pass this hurdle. For example, he could use the assistance of the Remembrance Serum. It would improve his brain capabilities by a few tens of times, granting him a more quicker brain function.
But David didn't know of that. And even if he did, there was no saying he was going to use it anyways.
Suddenly, David stirred and with a jolt, he awoke from his slumber. He could feel his head ringing as though he was having a hangover.
It was as though there was a huge baseball bat pounding rhythmically on his brain. This obviously made David uncomfortable and he could help it, he groaned loudly.
"Fuck! I'm never doing this again." David Co. Planed as he stood up gently with the help of the large table present in the lab.
He gently arranged his hair back in place while also Dusting and adjusting his lab coat.
The holopad had automatically switched itself off to save power when there was no input of data for a few hours.
David clicked on the note like machine, letting the projection appear above the holopad. After which he checked in the image he had note down for a few seconds before abruptly opening another holo note.
Then he proceeded to jot down the structure he had learnt down in his brain to the now empty note pad.
Almost an hour later, sweat began to form on his head but then, he breathed out heavily and he stepped back to admire his work.
He then proceeded to check the structure in the other tab he had drawn the previous times. His eyes immediately lit up when he noticed that there wasn't a single mistake.
But to be sure, he gazed into the two large lenses of the Genoscope. A few minutes later, he burst into a loud laughter, almost scaring the life out of the bacterias were beginning to form in the lab due to his sweat and all.
Now, it was finally time for the final stage of the concocting of the serum. The rewriting of the genes.
Now, although the genetic structure of the human eyes were made up of numerous DNA strands and helixes, there was bound to be some empty space and corners that other genes could be inserted in. A place in which the genetic structure of the organ could fit perfectly into the eyes without causing slightest bit if genetic discomfort or overload.
Just like a puzzle. The human eyes was a big puzzle filled with numerous holes while the liquid organ containing the night vision genetic structure was the small puzzle that would be rearranged to fit perfectly into the big puzzle which is the gene structure of the human eye.
It was a very complex yet simply process. David thought for a bit, trying to search for the holes in the genetic structure according what he had read.
He had only thought for a second when numerous spaces filled his mind. His eyes opened widely in surprised as more than a few tens of numbers of perfect holes came to his mind.
He was stunned as it was supposedly hard for Genetist to spot those specific holes which was why they needed to take their time and search specially for those holes but for him, he had only taken a few seconds to spot about a few tens of them.
