Chapter 574: That's How It Came From
More than 20 years ago, Li Yuanshu was still very young, and at that time he had just obtained a doctorate in bioengineering, and he was naturally the focus of cultivation in the Li family. The inheritance of the Li family is in medicine, and the foundation is also in medicine, and Li Yuanshu's development direction is naturally medicine, which naturally has more advantages than his eldest brother who concentrates on business, even if he can't be a trader, he will be the absolute core of technology.
But because of something, he was given up, he didn't elaborate, but I know that it was because of Li Manxin.
He left the Li family, although he turned against Li Yuanquan, but the old man Li still gave him a large sum of money as start-up capital, and asked him to set up a drug research center on his own, which was the last compensation given to Li Yuanshu after appeasing Li Yuanquan, on the condition that the research results must be transferred to Liming Pharmaceutical first, and Li Yuanshu also had no choice.
However, how difficult the research of new drugs is, it is the same in the field of the world, and it is also difficult to break through with such an outstanding talent as Rao Li Yuanshu. He began to visit friends in the circle and discover talents, and at this time, a person joined his team, which also gave him a new research direction, that is, the study of monsters.
When he first mentioned monsters, Li Yuanshu felt that this was a fantasy at all, because he had never been in contact with real monsters, and in his concept, monsters were the kind of characters who called the wind and rain to come and go without a trace. However, the man provided him with a real yokai and explained in detail the medicinal properties of the yokai.
Li Yuanshu was stunned, not so much that it was a monster, but that it was a brand new species that he had never known. The other party explained to him that youkai were originally a species, not an illusory existence as described by the literati, and that they may have been born far beyond humans, but they have a longer lifespan than humans, as well as various magical talents.
It is only with the emergence of human beings, the most perfect creatures in the world, that monsters have gradually faded out of the stage of history, and with the cleansing of human beings again and again, monsters are like those beasts that can threaten humans at any time, fewer and fewer, and they are almost endangered.
"I think you know a little bit better about yokai than I do, because you're working for them. ”
I nodded, and he went on to state that the monster did have a specific pharmacological value for a common disease, and this value, like some Chinese herbal medicines, was inexplicable, and it took a lot of research to find the pattern. Li Yuanshu's team put everything aside to study it, and finally they were able to find the cause, and use it to artificially synthesize the key factors to achieve the goal of mass production.
This incident greatly stimulated Li Yuanshu's interest in monsters, not only because he had a successful new drug exchange, but also made him return to the sight of Old Man Li, although he was not in Liming Pharmaceutical, his contribution was not to be underestimated by the Li family. I think what he wants is not any status, but so that his lover, his daughter, can have a better living environment in the Li family.
But he didn't confess to Old Man Li, but used that prescription in exchange for another funding, and he began to study new monsters in the hope of getting new research results. With the success of the institute again and again, his ambition gradually swelled, and he began to be dissatisfied with being obscure as a research institute behind the Li family, he needed to master more wealth, more resources, more contacts, and more voice.
So he began to assemble his own peripheral team, including the earliest youkai search team, a field that no one had ever set foot in, and his raw wealth quickly piled up. Then he targeted some incurable diseases, which would satisfy his career and sense of accomplishment, and the previous drug research institute had a new name: Yokai Research Institute, or Demon Research Institute for short.
He Shuzhi's team appeared in this process, he rescued He Shuzhi who threw himself into the river by chance, and was willing to let him drive for himself, and at the same time he was not stingy to give his subordinates enough returns, he knew that if you want to let the horse run, you will give the horse grass. As time passed, in order to make all his actions concealed and reasonable, he gradually had his own logistics base, pharmaceutical company, and even a resort village. It can be said that the wealth he has has gradually caught up with his eldest brother Li Yuanquan.
But he has a weakness, which is that his core research does not see the light of day. The first is that the monster talk is too alarmist, once someone knows about it, then someone will definitely come to snatch this cake, he just has some money, and in the face of absolute interests, he doesn't have enough strength to protect the food.
The second is that we, the first person to bring him the Youkai mentioned the Shemale Mutual Aid Alliance, which is a loose organization and hasn't been around for years, but we still exist and are connected to each other. If they let us know about the hunt for youkai and research, the result will be the same as now, and they will be pursued from all corners of the world.
But people are ambitious, and his team used monsters to study drugs at the beginning, and then actually stepped into a sinkhole. To say that the most greedy goal of human beings is not to live forever, Qin Shi Huang did this, which made people scolded like idiots, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also did it, and in his later years, he had to write an edict to say that he was blinded by lard.
But Li Yuanshu saw a glimmer of hope, that is, because of the appearance of monsters, combined with the rapid development of natural science, things that could not be explained before are now possible to get a glimpse of the truth. Monsters naturally have an incomparable lifespan of human beings, not to mention immortality, as long as they can crack this vitality, for him, it is an inexhaustible reward.
So his core team began to tackle this piece of content, and achieved some visible results, such as using some dead monsters to resurrect and cultivate them, such as the crossfish.
But it was precisely because they tried this that their team began to show their feet. After the resurrection, the fish was difficult to control, in a flammable and explosive state, in an inadvertent way, the fish actually knocked down the staff who studied it, as well as the guards who held it, and jumped into the mountain stream to escape from the mysterious organization.
In the end, the Henggong fish went to the vicinity of the Min family and was caught as a red carp by the children of the Min family. Although the Demon Research Institute has installed tracking equipment in its body, the limitations of this equipment are very large, and they have found the Min family, but they dare not act rashly because they are afraid of the Min family's identity as the five permanent members of the Shemale Society.
In the end, Henggong Yu was destroyed by me and Xi Fan with a pot of sour plum soup, which also started the struggle between our Shemale Society and the Demon Research Institute.
"Actually, when I first found out that you were involved, I didn't pay much attention to it. After so many years of accumulation, I am not just a businessman, I control more monsters than you have ever seen, and many of them are legendary powerhouses. And you, it is said that you are just descendants of the continuation of the union with humans, with the form of a human being, but without all the strengths of a monster, to put it bluntly, I am dealing with a group of humans, what am I afraid of?"
"But then I realized that I was wrong, and I was quite wrong, because all the youkai I could control had certain limitations. And you can invite the real strong to come out of the mountain, I heard that they are all monsters with great magical powers, although there are not many of them, but they are already a great threat to me. ”
I nodded, "Can you ask how you managed to control those youkai?"
Li Yuanshu smiled proudly, "I heard that the Henggong fish was killed by you, and the sac was also caught by you. In fact, this is the result of our research, the yokoshi is the earliest test subject, it is not so much a yokai as a man-made yokai, although it inherits the talent of the yokoyu, it becomes even more stupid and more violent than the real yokoyu. ”
"Then we used technology to subdue the sac. The reason why we say subdued is because the sac is a real monster, and all we did was remove its restrictions so that it would no longer be trapped in the place where bones were buried. I won't tell you about the advanced technology, and you won't understand it. After we caught the youkai, we did try to replicate them through techniques such as clone culture, but unfortunately, we failed. ”
"So we changed our strategy and started to move to the technology of controlling youkai, which was a lot easier. With the use of new technological equipment implanted in the body of the yokai, combined with the drug, we have indeed gained control of many yokai. It takes time for science and technology to break through, and before we break through the secret of immortality, of course, we must continue to strengthen ourselves, otherwise even if we master the latest technology one day, we will not be able to keep it. ”
"It's just that I never thought that the Henggong fish, which represents the first stage of research, escaped, originally we wanted to destroy it for a long time, because it was a failure, but it also represented the direction of our initial research, and it was a little difficult to destroy it like this, so it stumbled. ”
After we discovered the existence of the Demon Research Institute, Li Yuanshu thought about hibernation, but because it was the first time he dealt with us, as he said, we were just a group of humans who had lost their demon personality, so we didn't stop all actions.
But he didn't expect that once the leak appeared, the gap would get bigger and bigger. He Shuzhi's emotionality was also something he didn't expect, and the Henggongyu incident only made us notice that someone was catching and studying monsters, but He Shuzhi exposed the tip of the iceberg of this organization. From my point of view, if it weren't for the He Shuzhi incident, Lao Chang would not have been able to enter the Demon Research Institute so smoothly, and I wouldn't be here to listen to the story now.
There is no mistake
