In the biochemical laboratory, in the large conference room, all the staff, including Wang Hao, gathered together again.

In the past, there have been many such meetings, and each meeting has a similar topic, which is nothing more than the exchange of progress and new discoveries between different groups during this period, or the discussion of new possibilities with each other, but the end result is often fruitless. Therefore, people did not expect much from this meeting.

The meeting took place in a dreary mood. People report on their work for a while, and the discussion phase is simply omitted because there is really nothing worth discussing right now. It was thought that this meeting would end as before, but Wang Hao did not announce the adjournment of the meeting.

"I have an idea that I want to discuss with you." Wang Hao said slowly, "Although our laboratory has not been established for a long time, it has also been for a while. During this time, we have tried various methods and accumulated a lot of data and experience. It is based on this data and experience that I speculate that the process by which this particular dark matter particle affects the human body may be different from that of any other animal. ”

The researchers looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't react.

"No single effect is the same for different living organisms," one researcher said. Human beings are different from any other life, or any kind of life from the rest of life, in terms of structure, genes, body type, environment, etc., and the same kind of influence cannot be the same. ”

Wang Hao shook his head and said: "When I say different, I don't mean the difference on the surface, but the essence. ”

Although Wang Hao's words were a little tongue-twisting, people still understood them immediately, so there was a buzzing discussion in the conference room.

"The human body is essentially the same as the rest of life. If there really is a fundamental difference, is there any point in the animal experiments we conduct? ”

The proposal of a drug or a treatment method follows the following process, that is, theoretical research, animal testing, and finally human testing. Only when the corresponding results are observed on the animal's body will humans be involved in the final step of the experiment. The reason for this process is based on the similarity between animals and humans – if a drug is effective against animals, such as pigs, monkeys, mice, etc., it is likely to be effective against humans. If it doesn't work on animals, it's better to give up as soon as possible.

Medicine has evolved in this way for thousands of years, and has borne abundant fruit and defeated countless diseases. But now, Wang Hao is questioning the foundations of medicine.

"I wonder where you came to these conclusions?"

"I don't think there's any need to discuss this idea. Could it be that those dark matter particles also have their own consciousness and will treat different life forms differently? ”

The dull atmosphere was immediately shattered, and the discussion in the conference room continued for a few minutes before it fell silent. Almost every participant expressed their opinions, and without exception, all of them were against.

This situation seems to have been expected by Wang Hao for a long time. Wang Hao smiled slightly, and casually listed a few data on the virtual interface.

"We have confirmed that there are about 10,000 genes affected by this dark matter particle, of which the unique genes affected account for more than 60 percent of the total number of unique genes, and the non-unique genes account for only about 10 percent of the total number of non-exclusive genes. Is this really just a coincidence? ”

This is the first time researchers have seen these data. This is not because of how hard the data is to obtain, in fact, it can be derived with a simple division, and the problem is that until then, no one thought it would be useful.

Even if all this data is true, this ...... And what can it mean?

"It is very unrigorous and unscientific to think that this particle affects the difference between the existence process and mechanism of human beings and the rest of life on the grounds that the affected genes account for a relatively large proportion of human-specific genes. This is not the attitude we should have as serious researchers. ”

"If that's a coincidence, then I can find countless coincidences in this world through these numbers games."

Wang Hao didn't argue with people, but said lightly: "If it's just this one data, then there is indeed a suspicion of coincidence." But why is this also happening in other animals? ”

Since the establishment of the biochemical laboratory, animal tests have been carried out many times, involving a total of about 30 species and more than 10,000 animals. This is after the microbial test is removed.

Wang Hao turned around and kept sketching on the virtual interface. With Wang Hao's writing, lines of data appeared in the interface.

In mice, up to 73 percent of the total number of unique genes are affected.

Pigs, affected by unique genes up to 69 percent of the total.

Monkeys, cats, frogs, canines ......

In total, more than 30 species of animals have all appeared in this phenomenon. This means that this must not be a coincidence, but that there is some kind of law behind it that has not yet been discovered.

People looked at each other, and they all saw a touch of solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Depending on the affected genes, there is a high probability that the mechanism of influence will be different. On the surface, both humans and the rest of the animals experience similar symptoms after being affected, but different causes can cause similar symptoms, which leads us to be misled by appearances and focus on animal testing. ”

One researcher said in a deep voice: "Wang Hao, what you said is still just a possibility. We can't say it's correct until it's verified. ”

Wang Hao nodded: "That's right, we need to find a way to verify it." ”

The question immediately popped into the minds of almost all attendees: "How can I verify it?" ”

People who have fallen ill, or who have died, cannot be verified. Because Wang Hao's inference is that the mechanism of the lesion is different, but the result may be the same. People who have fallen ill or died are the result, and here, the process cannot be reversed from the outcome.

Then there is only one way left, and that is ...... Send one or more humans into the Bread Nebula to be affected by that particular dark matter particle in the field, so that researchers can actually observe how it changes.

But everyone knows that this is not possible. Now that the news of the deadly "radiation" in the Bread Nebula has been confirmed, who else would want to act as a specimen to bear the effects of the Bread Nebula? For the sake of this experiment, in order to test an idea, to throw one's life in space, would anyone really want to do it?

Wang Hao's expression was indifferent, he glanced at the researchers with serious expressions, and said in a low voice: "It's actually easy to confirm this question. All it takes is to find a human who is in the process of being affected and actually observe the changes that are taking place in his body. ”

One researcher muffled, "No one wants to do this at the cost of their own lives." ”

Another researcher said: "Maybe we can report the need for this research to the higher-ups, who will coordinate to find a death row inmate to participate in the trial." ”

Compared with the future and destiny of the entire civilization, the so-called humanism and the so-called human rights do not actually exist. If the research request is submitted, it is almost certain that death row inmates will be sent to participate in the trial.

However, Wang Hao did not hesitate to deny this proposal: "Because of the existence of communication delay, it is impossible for the base to guide the operation of the test party in real time, and the participants in the test must have rich medical knowledge and research experience to be competent." And you must actively cooperate with the collection of data to complete the requirements. ”

The people were silent again. The thresholds set by these requirements have excluded the vast majority of people, not to mention death row inmates who are destined to be killed, even a normal person is not up to the task.

There was no doubt that everyone in the room was in good hands, but none of them offered to participate in the trial. Wang Hao didn't think it meant that they didn't have a high moral level or were greedy for life and afraid of death, because Wang Hao himself was not willing to participate in an experiment that would most likely cost them their lives.

There was silence for a while, and one scientist said, "It's not for us to decide." I suggest that the matter be escalated to the superiors, who will openly call for volunteers. I admit that I did not have the courage to participate in this experiment, but there must be heroes in our civilization who are noble enough to give up their lives. ”

In the current situation, the scientist's proposal is almost the only feasible way, but Wang Hao shook his head and rejected it.

"Before I came up with this plan, I had already decided that I would carry out this mission." Wang Hao smiled a little bitterly: "I'm also afraid, and I don't want to lose my life like this, but I have to go." ”

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Wang Hao at this moment.

"Wang Hao, someone will go instead of you, you are our chief scientist, the entire project team needs you to lead, you don't have to, there is no need to ......"

Wang Hao's gaze became resolute again: "It is precisely because I am the chief scientist of the Biochemistry Laboratory that I have to stand up. I have to make people understand that we, the medical experts who carry the hope of the entire civilization, are still persevering, still fighting, and still willing to pay any price for the sake of our ideals. Only then will people not despair and people will believe in us again. ”

"And it's not inevitable that you'll die on this mission. My life is in your hands. ”
