Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Man Is Also a Man of Temperament
"There was a time when I put a lot of energy into the topic of 'human organ transplantation'. Of course, this is already a hot topic in the field of modern medicine. As long as the problem of allogeneic organ rejection can be solved, this technology can save the lives of thousands of people..."
"After all, human beings have a limited lifespan, and the body will naturally age and die. So, I had a new idea born in my research. Research has proven that the vast majority of human biological memories are kept in the brain. If... If we replace the aging body, can we avoid it, or delay the coming of death? That's where 'head replacement surgery' comes in. ”
"Even scientific research needs to have its own bottom line. So, I never intended to study with living people, even slaves or death row prisoners. However, I am also well aware that this kind of research topic involves something ethical after all. Therefore, all research is carried out in secret in the laboratory..."
"After many failed attempts, in the end, I did a successful experiment on two ironback apes. Although the monster didn't live long after the head change, most of the technical problems have been solved..."
Illubeck recounted the events of those years.
This old man, using extraordinary strength and modern medicine, really completed this incredible operation.
.......
Later, for unknown reasons, Emperor Omar's cousin, Prince Fawkes, heard about the experiment.
Unwilling to give up the last hope of survival, this high-ranking royal family who was about to die and had some slaves captured and ordered Ilubeck to conduct human experiments immediately.
Once the technique is successfully tested on humans, he will be able to obtain a young and healthy body.
In fact, it was not only him, but the top aristocratic circles of Omar at that time were paying attention to this incident, and even Emperor Doppler acquiesced.
wealth, the aristocracy is not lacking; There are countless healthy slaves and civilians who can be selected to replace the body.
If Prince Fox succeeds, then... These aristocratic lords at the top of the power no longer fear death.
However, Ilubeck decisively rejected such experiments.
He knew that as long as he agreed, this human civilization would fall into hell completely, and science would become a nightmare for mankind.
If it succeeds, there will be a few people who will succeed in continuing their lives, but there will be countless innocent people who will die.
If it fails, those aristocratic lords will definitely not give up... And keep trying.
Instead, he destroyed all the scientific research materials on this technology and never planned to continue research.
However, the Prince of Fox had already seen death beckoning to him.
Death is ahead, and he has no scruples.
Then this prince even threatened the lives of Ilubeck's family and forced him to conduct the experiment as soon as possible!
Threatens the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the president of the Omar Potions Guild, and the world's leading medical man...
It's just crazy to do.
But at that time, Omar's top class rarely maintained a collective tacit understanding, and no one stood up to speak, allowing Prince Fox to do whatever he wanted.
......
"Luckily... It's a skill that only I can master. ”
When Ilubeck said this, he had a very sad look on his face.
At that time, in addition to himself, there was also an assistant who knew about this experimental project... His proudest disciple, Fino Wendelban.
How Prince Fox knew, it goes without saying.
"Even if they threatened my family, I would never agree to this or that surgery. But I know that the root of the matter is in Prince Fox, and also in the aristocracy. So, I decided to completely break the minds of those nobles..."
Illubeck finally talked about the "Prince Fox's violent death" that was not known to outsiders.
This old man is also short-tempered, and you threaten me with your family?
Okay very!
Although those who engage in scientific research are rookies in combat effectiveness, they have long been mentally prepared to dedicate themselves to science.
He was not ambiguous at all, and under the pretext that he needed to check the prince's body, he directly poisoned the prince, and burned down the medical room carefully built by the prince's mansion for surgery.
That fire also completely made the aristocracy see the old man's determination to burn jade, and no one dared to pay attention to the operation...
.......
Hearing this, Wren finally understood why the Omar royal family wanted to cover up the truth of this matter.
If this thing gets out, it will definitely cause a "huge scandal" of social unrest, especially for the low-level civilians!
The low-level commoners of this world are already living a very hard life, and they cannot choose their own birth, but if even their bodies become the "flesh farms" of the nobles, this will inevitably cause panic and riots.
At that time, Dr. Ilubeck was also a top figure in the medical and potions worlds, and he made countless friends with powerful people and powerhouses.
If he dies suddenly, the secret will definitely not be hidden, and it will also bring great trouble to the Omar Empire.
Therefore, even if a prince died, the royal family of Omar did not dare to send him to the gallows according to the law, and even did not dare to put him in the royal prison.
This is why Ilubeck was rewarded for defecting and coming to settle in this glorious city.
It was the ideal solution at the time.
In exchange, Ilubeck did not divulge the truth of the matter. He also doesn't want his skills to be known to the world, which will cause endless trouble.
......
Wren listened silently, and Ilubeck seemed to want to make everything clear.
"Do you know why I didn't want to take you as an apprentice before?"
"Because of that Fino?"
"Not bad."
The old man's eyes flashed with a complicated glow, and he sighed: "I asked my disciple Fino why he leaked the experiment, and he said that he accidentally leaked his mouth..."
The old man was stabbed in the back by his lover and was deeply injured.
Even now that I think about it, it's extremely painful.
"At first, I naturally believed in my disciple absolutely, and I didn't blame him... It wasn't until I saw that Her Majesty the Queen's face became more and more radiant that I came to my senses. For the sake of power, Fino has long since moved closer to the royal family. It was he who betrayed the secrets in the laboratory on his own initiative..."
Wren didn't interject when he listened, which was also expected.
But he didn't expect that in addition to involving the Prince of Fox, this matter would actually be involved with the queen?
"In that operation, in addition to the technical difficulties, there was a very important secret recipe. That's the elixir I named 'Youth'. This is the most important agent used to maintain the viability of organs after transplantation. ”
Ilubeck continued: "Unfortunately, that potion cannot be extracted from any other substance for the time being. Only in the blood of a girl who is in the developing stage is present in trace amounts. This medicine also has a special effect, that is, it can make people's skin grow backwards, and can slow down the aging of the body to a certain extent..."
"Maiden's blood?"
When Wren heard this, he suddenly understood.
He immediately thought of the legend in the classics that some witches who were good at black magic would use the blood of maidens to keep their faces from aging.
It turns out that the old man has used scientific methods to refine that ingredient?
"That's right, this one was inspired by 'black magic.'"
Ilubeck guessed what he was thinking, and after a moment's notice, he added, "But... If you want to achieve the level of 'anti-aging' that makes your skin 'reverse aging', you need a lot of 'youthful hormones'. That's a amount that is impossible to achieve with normal extraction, so it takes a lot of fresh blood every day to extract... Although Her Majesty the Queen hid it from everyone, why did she return to her youth, how can I not understand? ”
When Wren heard it, this Queen Omar was afraid that she had killed a lot of people.
Speaking of this, the old man blamed himself very much.
The technology he developed to save people has killed countless innocent girls, "Since then, I have never had any expectations for the aristocratic privileged class. The medicine in their eyes is different from the medicine I pursue. ”
Wren heard the words "disheartened".
finally understood that this old man was so reluctant to accept him as an apprentice, and he was really stabbed in the back by his apprentice, and he was disheartened.
Without Fino's whistleblowing, the empress would not have been able to master the means of maintaining the "reverse aging".
Just for the sake of beauty, you can be so mad.
What about "head replacement surgery"? I'm afraid I'm going to go completely crazy...
......
Wren heard the meaning of Ilubeck's words today,
Saying so much, it feels like I'm explaining something.
He asked, "Teacher, do you notice something?" ”
After all, the Winster family is one of the five major families in the city, and the actual rulers of the fifth district of the Shining City.
The old man was so unkind when he left just now, and he didn't have any respect for a big man in the medical field, which forced the palace, which was a bit intriguing.
