The most effective way to change the habits of an organism is to directly adjust its genome. As long as the meaning of the genetic code corresponding to each base can be analyzed, the genomes that are needed or unnecessary can be easily added. Or delete, as simple as organizing computer files.

But this is undoubtedly based on the premise that the meaning of all base combinations is clear, which is obviously a difficult condition currently.

The Human Genome Project is indeed about to start. The revealing of 25,000 genes and 3 billion bases will not only allow people to fully understand the genetic makeup of the human body, but also be able to connect to other organisms by analogy. Even as the dominant species that dominates the world, the genetic difference between humans and mice does not exceed 20%, and after all, it is the most abundant species. When this plan is completed, a very important secret in the earth's nature will be completely mastered by mankind.

This time-consuming and laborious project was proposed in 1985 and officially launched in 1990. The early plan was to complete the compilation of the entire map in 2005. Obviously, it is impossible for Alice to wait that long. Although it is not a mission that must be completed to make Brudy a super soldier, there is no reason to delay the start again for fifteen years.

Fortunately, nature does not rely on artificial means to achieve species evolution, but on pure natural laws. The change in the type of virus parasitic cells is essentially a kind of mutation, but everyone with some biological knowledge knows that one of the reasons why viruses such as viruses are terrible is that they have a strong ability to mutate, that is, they are powerful. Survivability.

The current characteristics of the i virus are obviously benign. Its symbiotic behavior with lymphocytes objectively promotes the immunity of living organisms. This is a situation that any living creature likes to hear. But obviously, no matter how objectively it brings blessings to the parasitic life form, its essence remains the same.

That is, the virus infects the cell.

Delof’s observation is very clear that the symbiotic relationship between the i-virus and the lymphocytes of orangutans and mice is by no means the kind of crocodile and toothpick bird. They are like ordinary viruses, invading and occupying the body of lymphocytes, but they did not completely obliterate all the existence of those cells, and stagnated in the form of "half and half".

Therefore, the next research direction is very clear, and that is to make the current i-virus, which only infects lymphocytes, undergo a certain degree of mutation within a controllable range. The requirement is that the mutated i-virus has the ability to infect muscle cells or nerve cells, and produce benign side effects that enhance the performance of those two cells as it wishes.

"It's very dangerous."

In an empty conference room on the b-8 floor, with all the participants sitting opposite the long table, Ivan Delov said seriously: “Although we can use animals for testing first, we don’t really use humans for a day. It is impossible for us to really know its effect on the human body for a day. And this is obviously very different from ordinary drug testing. Alice, you are not planning to recruit volunteers from the public, are you?"

"Then waited for a series of mad patients to murder their relatives, and then a journalist with a sense of justice went to our wicked umbrella company all the way to find our evil umbrella company? Ivan, although I like to open this typical brain hole on weekdays, But in practice... still too exaggerated, right?"

At least Alice is right, her brain is really well-known in the circle. No, Delov, Monica, Brudy, including Spencer who is the CEO of the company, everyone can't help but smile.

There is not much time difference between Alice's arrival at the institute and the meeting. At this time, on the second floor above the ground, Little Ada was still asleep in the temporary icu, and her parents were even invited to accompany her. And at this moment, Spencer, who was urgently called from London by Alice, arrived here in about three hours. Although it should be time for dinner, obviously no one is interested.

"From animal experiments to humans, this is a very long process." Spencer said, as a senior industry senior who has worked for Pfizer Group for many years, his understanding of the relevant situation is even better than Delov.

"Unlike the research and development of ordinary medicines for diseases, we are now starting from scratch to study the basic capabilities of a virus. Therefore, we must start with the most basic mice and progress step by step to various larger organisms, especially monkeys. , It may even need to consider more unconventional organisms. Please believe me, everybody, all kinds of processes often take ten years. As for the human experiment you are worried about... Ah, what does that sentence say, There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain?"

Spencer's sentence of time is obviously exaggerated, but the real scientific research road is indeed like this. In fact, until now, regardless of the advertisements for new drugs, shooting has begun, and Delov is still wondering how he cultivated the kind of lipase. It's really luck, soda water + carbon dioxide = Coca-Cola rhythm, he can't even reproduce the scene at that time.

Fortunately, it is not a problem to reproduce based on the ready-made enzymes, otherwise Alice will not be able to launch her weight-loss drug products.

She nodded and agreed: "It makes sense, and Yiwen, although this project is very dangerous, after the project is really successful, our benefits are very obvious, isn't it? Of course, I know that I am saying this very vulgarly, but the facts are also true. That’s right, if we can really cultivate a virus that turns humans into superhumans, even if it’s not really stupid and publicly sold, but you want to..."

At this point, Alice couldn't really say anything, but she just shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly and provoked her high pitch.

No one responded immediately, including Delov, but also Brudy, who seemed to be at the core.

Monica was watching each expression and movement silently.

What is the so-called benefit? Even if there is no Alice who has a brainstorming boss, everyone in this room can use their own imagination to imagine countless feasible definitions.

You know, what does it mean to comprehensively enhance the function of muscle cells, even nerve cells, and even immune cells?

It was the birth of a small superman, without a doubt.

Then the most direct and basic benefit is naturally that shareholders, executives, and researchers who are senior members of the consortium can themselves become supermen.

Just like King Arthur ordered the Knights of the Round Table to seek the Holy Grail, as a human being, even if it can resist the temptation brought by wealth, how many can refuse eternal life? Even if some Christians really have the bizarre belief in rejecting eternal life, how many people can refuse to be alive...it's very simple, how about becoming a little superman?

There is no need to discuss business interests, such as how to position the market, how to determine sales, and how to set the price.

Do you want to be Superman?

As long as you put such a simple sentence to the extreme and directly ask anyone to listen to it, the support rate will be self-evident.

"Ugh…………"

There was a long silence, and finally Delov let out a long sigh.

Then there was Spencer, Brudy's face flushed even more, and Monica's eyebrows kept drifting towards Alice.

"I believe that everyone should have no doubts?"

"No, I have one."

However, Spencer suddenly raised his hand. As for his question, he won a silent smile from everyone present.

"Alice, no, respectable Miss Wang, I am really curious, why did you inform me of this project?"

Alice also smiled.

"Mr. Spencer, I believe this question can also be asked in another way." She said slowly: "Miss Wang, do you plan to tell your family this secret?"

Spencer's eyes rolled.

"As the saying goes, there are many people with mixed mouths, and the more people know about a secret, the higher the chance of being leaked. This rule is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive enough, because the root cause of the leaked secret is not the number of people, but it. The importance of the insider. Many secrets eventually led to the disclosure, because as the insider's index continues to expand, the elements that do not concern themselves have also increased."

"Then the question is, a drug, a drug that can make you immortal, a drug that can make yourself a superman, will you leak it out?"

Seeing everyone’s eyes turned up~lightnovelpub.net~ Alice went on to say: "The reason why many people leak secrets is actually the pain of holding one thing in their hearts, but if a secret is for multiple people As you know, this kind of pain no longer exists. All of you here are elites. I believe you don’t have the habit of easily telling your family about trade secrets and customer information, right? The project we are discussing today has nothing to do with it. difference."

"The money earned can be used to support the family. But if a person tells his wife and children the way to make money, then they stupidly talk to other people, and eventually it will be the result of robbing business... believe No one is that stupid, right?"

The most popular examples have dissipated a lot of the nervousness of everyone present. Isn’t that true? For example, in a pastry shop with a century-old heritage, the top-secret recipe for its unique pastries must be well-known to everyone in the family, but no one will stupidly disclose it. The retention of secrets does not lie in knowing the number of people, but in the degree of vested interests.

"So, Mr. Spencer, although you are a newcomer who just joined our group... Actually, from the perspective of time, Brudy and even Monica are also newcomers, but what we are concerned about is not the qualifications of time. One of you is the ceo who protects the umbrella, the other is my secretary, and the other is not only my bodyguard, but also a human guinea pig who is ranked. I can't hide it from you!"
