Tick –

Du Dian swiped his card at the door, the metal spiral door of the laboratory opened, and the three people inside were startled by the sudden opening of the door, and they all turned their heads to see that it was an unfamiliar face, and they were all stunned.

"Who are you?" The quiet woman came back to her senses, frowned and said softly.

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "My name is Qin Mo, I just came to your company, and I came to see the experiments here, the three of you are studying these two walking corpses?" ”

"Qin Mo?" The blonde old man frowned and thought for a while, he didn't have this name in his impression, he noticed that Du Dian could open the door of the laboratory, and said in a deep voice: "You have first-level permission?" ”

Dudian smiled: "The consortium has given me the highest authority to participate in all the company's experiments. ”

"Supreme authority?" The three of them were shocked, they had been in the company for so many years, and they had made countless contributions, and they had only reached the top by obtaining first-level permissions, and in their understanding, it was basically impossible for the company's highest authority to grant them these employees.

"You were sent by the consortium?" Another gray-haired old man frowned.

Du Dian smiled and said, "I'm just here to study, and I want to forgive me for disturbing the experiments of the three of you." ”

The white-haired old man saw that he avoided his own questions, and it was not easy to continue to ask, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, the consortium actually promoted such a young junior to the highest authority of the company, what is the meaning of these people who have dedicated their lives to the company?

However, he has seen too much of this kind of thing that relies on his background to occupy a high position, and although he is dissatisfied in his heart, he does not show it, but only nods his head slightly to Du Di'an, and continues to look down at the experimental data in his hand.

"Qin Mo, is it? To be on the safe side, I'm going to verify your identity. The quiet and mature woman smiled and said, "My name is Chu Huiru, and I am an expert in bioinformatics. ”

"Hello." Dudian nodded, handing her his staff badge to scan.

Chu Huiru was stunned for a while when she saw the scanned results, sighed secretly in her heart, but her face was gentle as usual, and she returned the employee card to Du Di'an, "Mr. Qin Mo is really young and promising, and I hope to cooperate happily in the future." ”

"All three of them are my seniors, and I hope that my seniors will teach me." Dudian laughed.

Seeing that he had a humble attitude and a sincere tone, the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually faded, and his attitude eased a lot, and they each introduced themselves, the blonde old man was called Sovas, and the white-haired old man was Qian Yi.

"Master Qian Yi, do you want to research the medicine for the walking corpse?" After a few pleasantries, Dudian asked casually.

Qian Yi shook his head and smiled, and said: "Of course not, there has been no significant progress in the medicine for treating the walking corpse for so many years, and the company's research funding in this area has also decreased, and now no one is doing this kind of useless research." We are extracting the virus from the walking corpse, decomposing the virus, hoping to extract the cyclic splitting gene from the walking corpse virus. ”

"Cyclic splitting genes?" Dudian's face was full of curiosity.

Qian Yi said with a smile: "This is a conjecture put forward by an expert from the study of the walking corpse twenty years ago, but unfortunately he has passed away, in recent years, this cyclic split gene conjecture has been confirmed, it seems to do exist, and we have also found some clues in our research, if it can really be extracted, it will have a great effect, and it can make the life span of ordinary people grow indefinitely, and it is possible to achieve immortality!" ”

"Eternal life?" Dudian was surprised, "Is there life in this world that can live forever?" ”

"Not before, but it's hard to say in the future." Qian Yi smiled mysteriously.

Chu Huiru next to him looked serious, and said: "Even if you can't make people immortal, you can greatly increase your lifespan, it's not a problem to live for four or five hundred years, think about it, if everyone's life expectancy can be greatly improved, how powerful is the butterfly effect driven, a person who has lived for five hundred years, how profound his knowledge will be, coupled with the reproduction power of our human race, the territory will definitely expand more than ten times, and maybe he can regain the hegemony of the earth." ”

Du Dian nodded, even if the lifespan is doubled, the butterfly effect is unimaginably terrifying! It's just that there is such a thing in this walking corpse virus? He thought of the body structure of the Polar Ice Worm, the immortal and indestructible cells, which divided and metamorphosed infinitely, and the virus appeared after the Demon Worm invaded the Earth, and now it seems that it is very likely to be the virus that the Demon Worm put on the Earth.

"These walking corpses are infected, is there no way to restore them to humans?" Dudian asked the three.

Sovas shook his head and said: "Once it is completely infected into a walking corpse, it is basically useless, the cells and memory carriers in the brain are torn apart by the mutation caused by the virus, even if the body is restored to the appearance of a human, the brain cannot be restored, the human brain is the most complex machine, with the current technology, it is not possible to completely repair a completely damaged brain." ”

Du Di's peace of mind was cold, and it felt like a spike piercing his heart, but he still forced his face and asked, "Is there nothing to be done?" There are so many infected humans, if you can cure them back, this value is no more than making an immortal elixir or something, right? ”

Qian Yi chuckled lightly and said, "How can it be compared, if there is really an elixir of eternal life, the value will definitely be incomparable, what is more attractive in this world than eternal life?" Those who are infected are just ordinary people, and even if they can really develop a curative drug, who will buy it? Do their relatives have so much money to buy medicine? If anything, they would not have allowed their loved ones to leave the city and be infected by the virus. ”

Dudian was stunned.

He felt like his heart was being held tightly by the palm of a hand, kneading and contracting vigorously.

Qian Yi's words made his mind hot, and he even wanted to tear the three of them apart, but his reason made his body stand in place like a nail, perhaps, he should have seen through this a long time ago.

The big people want eternal life and continue to enjoy it, while the ordinary people only hope to save their lives and cure their diseases. However, the big guys have the vast majority of the resources in their hands, and these resources are destined to be tilted according to their wishes.

Even if a drug suitable for ordinary people is developed, it is only because the market demand is large and can fill their pockets.

"So, the company doesn't do this research anymore?" Du Dian was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

Chu Huiru keenly felt that this young man's aura fluctuated, and when she saw him speak, she immediately said: "It's not that the company doesn't conduct research in this area, but no one is willing to study these, not to mention the difficulty, the funding is still small, and if the research fails, it will be criticized. ”

Du Dian exhaled lightly and said, "I know, can you let me participate in this experiment, I will only observe, and it will not affect you." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, their faces were embarrassed, but thinking that Du Dian was the highest authority, they couldn't refuse, Qian Yi nodded and said, "Okay, you are still young, it is also good to take a look on the side." ”

"Thank you, Master Qian." Dudian thanked.

Qian Yi smiled, and the three of them began to get busy with the experiments in their hands.
