Genetically modified bodies?

Zhuge Yun's face changed slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he read it silently in his heart, she really didn't let him know something.

But soon he forcibly returned to his former cold appearance, and his strong heart kept him silent and did not say anything.

Wang Chong didn't notice the instant change in his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhuge Yun pretended to be calm and replied: "Oh? I don't quite understand what mods you're talking about...... Can you tell me about it? ”。

"Actually, this matter was classified before, but ...... Now, in our current situation, I have nothing to hide from this ship far from our home planet. ”

"Well, I'd like to hear about it." Zhuge Yun said casually.

Wang Chong pushed his glasses with his hand, his eyes showed some sadness, and he fell into memories.

"Before I left Earth, I was involved in a research project of the Planetary Council. When I joined, the project had been running for almost 10 years, and I was probably as young as you, working as a research assistant under Dr. Sullivan Domino. ”

"At that time, Dr. Sullivan discovered something very valuable in an experiment conducted by the military of a certain 'Planetary Council', which was said to have been found from deep underground, and after his research, he made a major discovery." The corners of Wang Chong's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued: "So the military proposed a long-term research plan, which is the predecessor of the 'Titan Project'. ”

Zhuge Yun had obviously never heard of these things, so he asked, "So, this plan has been going on for many years until then?" What is the purpose of this project? ”

"The purpose of this project is not very clear, but as far as I know, in the early days, it was to do research to conquer some human cancerous cells."

"Later, because of the in-depth research on those things, more new things were discovered. Even a few other top minds in non-medical fields have joined the program. For example, high-energy physics, genetics, pharmacology, biology, and even mathematicians and anthropologists. ”

Wang Chong's head shook slightly, and his sequin-like glasses glowed white under the illumination of the wall lamp.

"Oh? So, this project involves a wide range of disciplines, right? ”

"That's right, not only is the scope of the research, but the depth of the research is also difficult to reproduce now - there are seven pharmacology research groups that I joined later, and it is said that almost all of them are famous botanists."

Wang Chong said this, smiling bitterly, as if he recalled something he didn't want to mention.

"If that's the case, then this research project is important?" Is the Planetary Council and the military...... Maybe they want to unravel something that has been bothering people for a long time? ”

"Yes, there is no doubt about it!" Project Titan' was an earth-shattering study by the scientific community at the time! It's huge, it's deep, it's like unlocking the code of creation of humanity itself! ”

Wang Chong became excited as he spoke, not noticing his gaffe at all. Zhuge Yun smiled slightly, just quietly listening to what he said.

"Our experiments started to show some initial results, and then I guess I learned what those things were."

"Oh? What have you learned? ”

Wang Chong seemed to ignore his question, and said to himself: "After those botanists and pharmacologists joined in, they got some extremely rare plants from the Himalayas, called Maha wood flower, and then extracted the essence of the plant from it, and only took less than 5 milliliters each time...... At first, the drugs were injected into some of the experimental animals, but soon the animals died, and the experiment failed. ”

Maha wood flower is a plant that grows in alpine regions, Zhuge Yun remembers seeing its introduction in a magazine, which is very rare and magical.

The Himalayas are its origins, where the world's highest mountain range, with more than 110 peaks reaching or exceeding 7,350 meters above sea level, are the natural boundary mountains of the East Asian continent and the South Asian subcontinent, and were born hundreds of millions of years earlier than humans.

The rhizome is thick with thick white petals and a trumpet-like hole in the middle, from which the stamen grows. The flowering period is very short, but the flowering interval is very long, and it is said that it takes 300-400 years for each flower to bloom once, and if you are lucky enough to see it, it will be a great joy in life.

According to ancient documents, local monks have a tradition of using ancient secret methods to make drinks that can enhance the body's immunity. In ancient times, there were many warrior monks who mastered its mysterious use, and after taking it for many years, they not only prolonged their life, but also became super warriors with the ability to ascend.

Of course, this is just a legend, Zhuge Yun laughed at it, and he didn't believe it at all.

Wang Chong continued: "They made certain medicines out of those extracts, and it was said that those medicines were mixed with many ingredients. But the drug is very violent, and it is strictly secret, and Dr. Domino and I are only responsible for studying the theoretical basis that has a direct relationship with the human body in the early stage, and only participate in those confidential experiments in the later stage. ”

"So, what kind of experiment is it?" Zhuge Yun asked.

"It's a clinical trial on the human body!"

"Clinical trials? So fast? ”

"Yes, there should be more experimental basic data to be deduced and tested, but the time required by the military is very short, and it does not give us more time to get complete data changes."

Wang Chong smiled bitterly again and shook his head.

"Hey—do you mean that when the theoretical data is not perfected, the experiment is carried out directly with humans?" Zhuge Yun gasped, this was too child's play.

"That's right, they're asking for data directly from the human body to speed things up. God knows why they are in such a hurry! ”

"Oh, what happened after that? What happened? ”

"After conducting human trials, we were of course very careful. The volunteer subjects were initially injected with only a small amount of medication and then pushed into a high-energy physics lab for observation. It's a first-class secret...... Hey! But you see, there are some things that can't be hidden from me and Dr. Domino. ”

"Well, you're experts...... What did you find? ”

"To put it simply, the cells of those subjects are mixed with some other genetic fragments. We had done in-depth cell analysis on those subjects, and Dr. Domino and I thought they had been implanted with some proliferating cells, but we couldn't analyze the origin of those strange cells. Just ......"

"Just what?" Zhuge Yun became interested and kept asking.

"Just, we're sure! Those cells are exposed to a lot of radiation. And in terms of short-term effects, those phage cells of unknown origin can well integrate with normal human cells, just like normal human cells are their natural carriers, constantly self-cultivating, proliferating, and generating new cells. ”

If, as he said, the phage cells proliferate so rapidly according to the law of conservation of energy, the result of rapid metabolism will inevitably shorten the life cycle of the cell.

"Well, in that case, their origin is the biggest problem. What about those who are cultured by proliferating cells? Is there any difference between them? ”

"Dr. Domino and I have clinically observed that although those subjects have had cells replaced, some changes in human physiology cannot be adapted in a short period of time...... After all, humans have evolved for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years, right? It's impossible to see a change in the short term! ”

I see, as he said, none of these test subjects know what will happen.

So what is the purpose of this experiment?

Zhuge Yun nodded and fell into deep thought: Yang Ruixue's body really has some secrets...... What's going on?
