448. I want to choke the throat of fate

Does it matter?"

Gu Meng wondered.

"Of course, since the industrial age, human health has improved dramatically, and human life expectancy has increased a lot, do you think that's a good thing?"

Nemo asked with a sneer.

"Isn't it good?"

Gu Meng didn't understand.

Nemo said with a smile, "Darwin said, natural selection of the fittest, Naturalselectionthesurvivalofthefittest, the 'fittest' in this, can be interpreted as adaptation, or it can refer to appropriate fit, just right, and human beings live on the earth, want to live a long and healthy life, want to be comfortable, and meet various desires, are such human beings 'suitable' to live on the earth?"

"What does this have to do with the first chain you just mentioned?" asked Gu Meng.

Nemo said slowly, "The medical community often preaches that the second greatest contribution of modern medicine is the eradication of the Black Death and smallpox, but in fact."

"What are the facts?"

"The fact is that humans in the industrial age have received too many extracorporeal injections, and their genes have subtly changed, and they are not suitable for the reproduction of infectious diseases such as the Black Death and smallpox, and there is no breeding ground for reproduction, and they should be extinct"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Nemo shook his head, "We have done an experiment, modern people are more resistant to the Black Death and smallpox, but the resistance rate to modern diseases is very low, this is the new diseases brought by new humans, and humans have become a breeding ground for new diseases, such as AIDS, liver disease, influenza, and so on.

In the comparative analysis of this experiment, we found that if the new infectious disease DU was injected into the human body without genetic modification, the disease DU would not cause much disaster."

Gu Meng rubbed his forehead, he was exposed to too much information at once, and his mind was a mess.

"Through this comparative experiment, you have come to the conclusion that a human genetic mutation has occurred?"

"Yes!"

Nemo sighed through the information, "In the past, there were oceanic isolation between various regions, and people on various continents, due to their different living habits, there were significant genetic differences, and this difference had an advantage, for example, the Black Death that occurred in a large area in Europe rarely occurred in Asia and the Americas, and the diseases that were prevalent in Asia would only be a hotbed for micro-transmission of humans in Asia, and would not affect other continents."

The reason is that there are differences in human genes in different continents, there are different defects in genetic evolution, and there are differences in resistance to disease.

Now that the process of globalization is getting faster and faster, human beings are becoming more and more convergent in food, medical care, living habits, and exercise patterns, which has also led to the convergence of human genes on different continents, do you know what the results of this change are?"

Gu Meng thought for a moment, "All human beings have the same advantages in disease resistance, but also have the same defects?"

"Yes!"

Nemo nodded, "In the past, the hotbed of disease was limited to all continents, and the scope of transmission was limited to all continents, but the convergence of human genes in various states around the world will make the world a huge hotbed, can you imagine that in the future, people around the world will be infected with a disease?"

He shook his head palely, "It's going to be a great disaster"

Gu Meng doesn't know how to persuade him, scientists' thoughts are forward-looking, but sometimes they are also scared of themselves.

In the past, mankind suffered regional disasters and regional resistance, and in the future, all mankind will encounter disasters, and all mankind will unite and work together to overcome the difficulties.

Nemo knows more and won't be as optimistic as he is.

He sighed softly, "Future disasters will be like ocean waves, wave after wave, and all mankind can withstand the first, second, and third shocks, but can it withstand dozens of times?

"You're right, genetic research does make a lot of sense"

After the two talked for a while, Gu Meng said goodbye and left.

At his current level, staying in the lab didn't do anything at all, but only hindered him.

He didn't know what Professor Marshall's purpose was to recruit him, but he wished he didn't want to be a gorilla in the zoo.

Before leaving, he found Professor Marshall, who had just left the lab.

"Teacher, I have a personal question I would like to ask"

In the school's café, Gu Meng said slowly.

"Oh?"

Marshall smiled as he took his coffee cup, "About genetics?"

"Yes"

Gu Meng nodded and said, "Teacher, I heard Senior Nemo say that large gene companies such as Shuangji have started the human experiment stage, does the teacher know what stage of their research has reached now?"

"Is this a personal matter?" Marshall laughed.

Gu Meng nodded, groaned and said, "I have a friend who has suffered misfortune and is paralyzed in the lower limbs, teacher, can this situation be restored through genetic modification?"

Marshall shook his head, "Not for the time being, this is a medical problem, now the world's major laboratories are busy studying the first and second series, because now investors only focus on these two things, they want to make breakthroughs in research as soon as possible, they want to become superhuman earlier, they want to live forever earlier, and they have little investment in improving the body's resistance to diseases, which also determines that we are slowing down the progress here."

Gu Meng nodded, the existence of major laboratories requires the investment of large consortia, without financial support, the experiment cannot be carried out, and scientists all serve the consortium.

"But don't worry"

Marshall smiled slightly, "Yesterday I heard that the double-base laboratory did an experiment related to the human body."

"Oh?"

Gu Meng became interested.

"Famous mountaineer Edmund Knoll had an accident on the Rocky Mountains in August"

Aemond likes to climb mountains with his bare hands, and this time, when a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, he unfortunately fell on the mountain, his internal organs were ruptured, and his whole body was paralyzed, and there was no possibility of healing.

After hearing about the genetic experiment, Aemond signed a trial contract with Biji, hoping to accept genetic modification.

After all the formalities were completed, when Aemond was dying, the Twin Labs began experimenting on him.

He was injected with the newly developed gene potion 'Shuangji III' by Shuangji Technology.

The composition is similar to the 'Biji I.' injected into Adam's monkey, but the effect is better.

After the experiment, Aemond slept for a day, and when he woke up, he could not only get out of bed and move freely, but also jump and run, and he was in better condition than before his injury.

"So amazing?" Gu Meng said in surprise.

Marshall shook his head, "This only lasted for four hours, and after four hours, the subject suddenly went berserk and began to attack the people in the laboratory, and the experimenters quickly retreated and locked the subject in the laboratory to continue observation.

Less than ten minutes after the subject went berserk, he died in the laboratory.

It was a failed trial, so it was not published, but only passed on to investors and scientists to boost everyone's confidence."

"I see!"

After getting the answer from the teacher, Gu Meng left the school and came to New York again.
