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 parsed, it is easy to add or delete the genome that is needed or not, as simple as organizing computer files.

However, this is undoubtedly based on the premise that the meaning of all base combinations is clear, which is obviously a difficult condition to have at present.

The Human Genome Project is indeed about to start, and the unraveling 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 touch other organisms. Even as the dominant species that dominates the world, the genetic differences between humans and mice do not exceed 20 percent, and they are the most abundant of them. When this project is completed, one of the most important secrets of the earth's nature will be completely grasped by humans.

This time-consuming and laborious project was proposed in 1985 and officially launched in 1990, with the early plan to complete the entire atlas in 2005. Obviously, Alice couldn't wait that long, and although it wasn't a mission that had to be completed to turn Brudy into a super soldier, there was no reason to delay fifteen years before starting it.

It is thanks to nature that the evolution of species is not achieved by artificial means, but by pure natural laws. The change of the type of parasitic cells of the virus is essentially a mutation behavior, but anyone who has some biological knowledge knows that one of the reasons why viruses are terrible is that it has a strong mutation ability, that is, a strong survival ability.

The current characteristics of the I virus are obviously benign, and its symbiotic behavior with lymphocytes objectively promotes the immunity of living organisms, which is a situation that any living thing likes to see. But it is clear that no matter how objectively it brings well-being to parasitic organisms, its essence remains the same.

i.e. the virus infects the cells.

Delov's observations are very clear that the symbiotic relationship between the I virus and the lymphocytes of orangutans and mice is by no means the category of crocodiles and toothpick birds. Like ordinary viruses, they invade and occupy the shell of lymphocytes, but they do not completely erase all the existence of those cells, but stagnate in a form of "half and half".

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

"It's very dangerous. ”

In an empty conference room on the B-8 floor, with all the attendees sitting across from the long table, Evan Droff said solemnly: "Although we can test on animals first, we can't really know what it does to humans until we actually adopt them." And it's obviously very different in nature from a normal drug test, Alice, you're not going to recruit volunteers from the public, are you?"

"Then a series of crazy patients murdered their relatives, and then a reporter with a full sense of justice peeled back the cocoon, followed the vine, and found our evil umbrella company all the way...... Or is it too much?"

Alice is at least right, her brain hole is really famous in the circle. No, Delov, Monica, Brudy, including Spencer, as the company's CEO, everyone can't help but laugh.

From Alice's arrival at the institute to the meeting, the time difference was not much. At this time, on the second floor above ground, little Ida was still sleeping peacefully in the makeshift ICU, and her parents had even been invited to accompany her. At this time, downstairs, Spencer, who was urgently summoned from London by Alice's phone call, undoubtedly arrived here in about three hours. Although it was supposed to be dinner time, it was clear that no one was interested in it.

"It's a long process from animal testing to human beings. Spencer said that as an industry veteran who has worked for Pfizer for many years, his knowledge of the situation is even better than that of Delov.

"Instead of developing ordinary curative drugs, we now have to start from scratch and study the basic capabilities of a virus. So it must start with the most basic guinea pigs and progress to a variety of larger creatures, especially monkeys, and maybe even more unconventional creatures. Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, the process is often a decade long. As for the human experiments you're worried about...... Ah, how do you say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain?"

Spencer's time is obviously exaggerated, but that's true to the path of scientific research. In fact, until now, not to mention the commercials for the new drug, the filming has begun, and Delov still wonders how he cultivated that lipase. It's really lucky, completely soda + carbon dioxide = Coca-Cola rhythm, he can't even reproduce that scene at that time.

Fortunately, reproduction based on ready-made enzymes is not a problem, otherwise Alice would not have been able to launch her diet pill product.

She nodded in agreement: "Makes sense, and Evan, although this project is very dangerous, but after it really succeeds, our benefits are very obvious, isn't it?" Of course, I know that this sentence is very vulgar, but the truth is that if we can really cultivate a virus that turns humans into little supermen, even if it is not really stupid to sell it publicly, but you want to ......"

At this point, Alice really couldn't say anything, but just shrugged her shoulders very exaggeratedly and raised her high-pitched notes.

No one immediately responded, not including Delov and also Brudy, who seemed to be at the center.

Monica was silently observing every expression and movement.

What is the so-called benefit, even if there is no Alice, a boss who opens her mind every day, everyone here 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's the birth of a small superman, there's no doubt about it.

Then the most direct and basic interest is naturally that shareholders, executives, and researchers who are the top of the consortium can become little supermen themselves.

Just as King Arthur commanded the Knights of the Round Table to seek the Holy Grail, how many of us as human beings can resist the temptation of wealth, and even if some Christians really have a singular belief in rejecting eternal life, how many can refuse to do so while they are alive...... Quite simply, what about being Superman?

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

Do you want to be Superman?

As long as you take such a simple sentence to the extreme, ask anyone directly, and the approval rating will be self-evident.

"Alas............"

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

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

"I'm sure you don't have any doubts, right?"

"No, I have one. ”

However, Spencer suddenly raised his hand, and as for his question, it won a silent smile from everyone present.

"Alice, no, dear Miss Wang, I'm really curious, why did you tell me about this project?"

Alice smiled as well.

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

Spencer's eyes rolled.

"As the saying goes, there are many people, and the more people know about a secret, the higher the chance of being leaked. There is nothing wrong with this rule, but it is not comprehensive, because the root cause of a secret being leaked is not the number of people, but its importance to those in the know. The reason why many secrets eventually lead to leaks is simply because as the number of insiders continues to expand, the proportion of non-self-interested people is getting higher and higher. ”

"Then the question arises, a drug, a drug that can make you immortal, a drug that can make you superhuman, will you leak it?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were rolling, Alice continued: "The reason why many people leak secrets is actually because of the pain of holding one thing in their hearts, but if a secret is known to many people, this pain will no longer exist. Several of you here are elites, and I believe that you are not in the habit of easily telling your family members trade secrets and customer information, right? The project we are discussing today is not fundamentally different from it. ”

"The money earned can be used to support the family. But if a person tells his wife and children about the way to make money, and then they are stupid enough to tell others about it, and then it will eventually lead to the result of stealing business...... I'm sure no one is that stupid, right?"

The extremely popular example made the nervousness of everyone present suddenly dissipate a lot. Isn't that the case, for example, in a century-old pastry shop, whose top-secret recipe for a unique pastry must be known to everyone in the family, but no one is stupid enough to divulge it. The preservation of secrecy does not lie in the number of people who know, but only in the degree of vested interests.

"So, Mr. Spencer, though you are new to our group...... In fact, from the perspective of time, Brudy and even Monica are also newcomers, but what we focus on is not the qualifications of time. One of you is the CEO of the umbrella, the other is my secretary, and the other is not only my bodyguard, but also a ranked guinea pig, who I can't hide from you!"
