Chapter 123 The Connection Between Dreams and Metamorphosis
A million Oddish ran through Natsuno's mind as he stared at the Ditto in front of him, speechless.
What else can I say? Dream Gene produced Ditto through the breeding chamber!
Natsuno closed her eyes, then opened them again after three seconds, hoping it was just a hallucination.
Unfortunately, the Ditto in front of him was looking up at him adorably, letting out joyful cries.
Xia Ye slapped his forehead hard. "Great, it's all true."
Unable to accept it for the time being, Xia Ye ran up and gently patted the gene cultivation chamber.
"There's no reason for this. Could there be a problem with the operation?"
After a long while, I saw that adorable Ditto staring at me with cute eyes.
As Natsuno gradually accepted the outcome, he calmed down and began to consider the possibilities of this situation.
"Is this because we chose a standard cell line as the substrate?"
"If that's the case, then try using other cell types as the base."
Xia Ye walked directly to the central control computer and selected a new round of replication and cultivation. The progress bar showed 20 hours again.
Meanwhile, Fuji, still in shock, gradually recovered.
"I never imagined that Ditto came about in this way, and that it's related to Mew."
"No one has ever seen how Ditto reproduces."
"Ditto doesn't have eggs, yet it can be a breeding partner for most Pokémon to produce eggs of other Pokémon."
Fuji's mutterings also inspired Natsuno.
He began to notice the similarities between Ditto and Mew.
In terms of moves, only these two can learn the overpowered transformation move.
Ditto's transformation is no different from Mew's transformation; it completely transforms into another Pokémon.
From a genetic perspective, there is absolutely no difference between the two genes.
However, Ditto doesn't have an egg, so perhaps the difference between it and Mew is the "egg-laying" gene.
The Ditto we just created skipped the egg stage and went straight to its final form.
This actually proves that the conjecture is correct: Ditto is a Mew gene that lacks the egg gene!
Natsuno's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
When a hypothesis can fully explain the corresponding phenomenon, it should be proven!
[Ding! New quest triggered!]
[Mew and Ditto: Mew Gene - Egg-laying Gene = Ditto Gene? Why do Mew and Ditto share such highly similar characteristics? Let's delve deeper!]
[Hint: Why not try comparing Mew's complete genome sequence with Ditto's complete genome sequence?]
Seeing that the system had triggered a task, Xia Ye nodded seriously, knowing that there was great potential in it.
Dr. Fuji, focused on the Ditto before him, remarked, "I never imagined Ditto would be born this way."
"The Ditto has existed since the beginning of recorded history."
Natsuno also began to recall the documents and records he had read.
"After entering the League era, people began to explore the mysteries of various Pokémon in depth."
"The mysteries surrounding Ditto have indeed attracted a lot of people to study it."
"The number of Ditto in the wild is gradually increasing."
"But putting two Ditto together will not create a new Ditto."
Fuji looked at Natsuno with burning eyes: "Natsuno, we've witnessed the answer to a thousand-year-old mystery!"
Natsuno was filled with mixed emotions, both joy and sorrow.
The good news is that fossil gene breeding did not directly produce a Mew Egg, so we don't need to help Team Rocket.
The worry is that they still need to piece together the complete dream gene sequence, and the system's tasks have increased.
With a sense of despair, Natsuno spoke weakly.
"Dr. Fuji, please make arrangements for this little guy. I'm going to go find Sakaki."
Natsuno ignored everything else and went to Sakaki's office.
He knocked on the door and strode in: "Boss, I have some bad news for you."
Sakaki appeared to have just finished instructing the dojo students, as he hadn't even taken off his training clothes.
"What's wrong, Natsuno?"
Natsuno told Sakaki everything that had happened in the lab.
The latter's usually placid face widened slightly in surprise: "Is that really true?"
Natsuno waved his hand, opened the door and walked out: "Why don't you just take a look and you'll know? Ditto is still there."
Sakaki and Natsuno returned to the lab, staring at the Ditto without saying a word.
"So, we have to piece together the complete genes, or you, boss, need to step up your game."
"Obtain the fur dropped by Dream and acquire Dream's complete genetic sequence."
"Only then can we proceed to the next step and make the desired genetic modifications."
Sakaki didn't speak, he just nodded slightly.
"In addition, Devon is already developing gene-editing equipment."
"If we want to reach our goal sooner, we all need to speed things up."
Sakaki nodded and left the room: "I understand, you can continue."
Natsuno was filled with excitement as he recalled that he had also arranged for the Dream Fossil Gene to be stored in Devon's possession.
He quickly pulled out his phone to call Apollo and sped off to the Devon Building.
As they drew closer, Natsuno noticed a traffic jam ahead.
Apollo frowned: "Wasn't the press conference over? Why is there still traffic?"
Xia Ye shook his head repeatedly as he watched that the team had advanced less than 10 meters in ten minutes.
"Apollo, I'm just walking in. You can do whatever you want with me."
With practiced ease, Xia Ye put on sunglasses and a mask, and then tucked Xiao Cai and Xiao Yuan into the ball.
In fact, the pedestrian walkway was also crowded at this time, with staff members maintaining order every few meters.
An hour later, Xia Ye struggled to enter the territory of the Devon Group, covered in sweat.
Most people were heading to yesterday's press conference venue. Xia Ye wanted to join in the fun, but he found himself surrounded by a sea of people.
Shaking his head helplessly, he decided to go upstairs to take a look and see what was going on.
He arrived at Daigo's office with practiced ease, but was suddenly drawn to a slight noise outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Daigo looked in the same direction as Natsuno and saw that several nearby hills were under construction.
"Ah, that mountain over there has been booked; the fossil Pokémon breeding area project has been officially approved."
Natsuno gave a thumbs up, then asked about the situation downstairs.
Daigo looked somewhat helpless and gave a wry smile.
"The fact that PhDs are flocking here can't be kept secret; there are people camping out at the entrance of the research institute."
"When everyone saw the PhDs coming, they assumed there was going to be a big event, so they flocked over again."
Upon closer inspection, Xia Ye noticed that the area where the booth was located yesterday had been expanded several times over.
There were even several excavators working on the edges, trying to expand the area they occupied.
Looking at the huge stands, Natsuno seemed to have thought of something, but he wasn't quite sure.
"Daigo, was it the professors who requested this expansion?"
"They decided to show everyone the hatching of the fossil egg on-site?"
Daigo's expression was a mix of laughter and tears: "You're so clever, you guessed right, this is exactly their decision."
"Did you know that even the top-floor flight bay is completely jammed right now?"
Daigo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and pointed towards the mountain next to him.
Natsuno looked closely and wow, a huge number of flying Pokémon were landing there, and people were densely packed together as well.
The thought of the spectacular scene of more than a dozen eggs hatching one after another in the laboratory made Xia Ye restless.
"Let's go, we have to make sure this grand occasion is properly arranged!"
