Chapter 12 Prohibition of genetic research
Shen Junyi sighed, turned on the computer to query, and said, "It doesn't matter which hospital you are in." We, the Beichen Empire, have always strictly forbidden to conduct genetic research. Once discovered, it is a felony. There is no branch of genetic research in the National Academy of Sciences. You say, "How is this going to be cured?" ”
"There are so many genetic evolutionists, why do you strictly prohibit genetic research?" Xia Chujian's eyes widened and he didn't understand it very much.
Shen Junyi smiled faintly: "First time, do you often skip school?" ”
See you at the beginning of summer: "......"
Does this have anything to do with her problem?
Shen Junyi continued: "Because if you go to school well, you should have learned, our Beichen Empire believes in the natural evolution of genes, and no external interference is allowed. Once the genes are disturbed, they will leave behind the same bad consequences as those humanoid pariahs and slaves. ”
"Therefore, the Beichen Empire has legislated to strictly prohibit genetic research from the beginning of its founding, and once it is violated, it will be punished with a serious crime."
"Those who have evolved genes are all naturally realized positive mutations of genes, not interfered with by chemical drugs. - It's all taught in the classroom. ”
Xia Chujian twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked unwillingly: "But my aunt was obviously fine before, but she suddenly fainted and never woke up, is it really a genetic reason?" ”
"Well, I don't know the reason for fainting yet, but your aunt's body has actually had problems a long time ago, and she has endured it all these years without treatment. The fainting three years ago was just a trigger, not a direct cause. It's like a benchmark with a good exterior but a lot of holes on the inside, and when the wind blows, it falls to the ground. ”
Xia Hatsumi took a deep breath, his face full of disappointment and sadness.
She muttered, "Really...... It's true...... Is there no way? ”
She had just changed the money, and she thought her aunt was saved!
How so?
How so?
Xia Chujian, who has been full of confidence to save her aunt for three years and has never shed a tear, gradually turned red in her eyes.
The flower-like red birthmark at the end of the eye also became more and more red and dazzling.
Shen Junyi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he retracted his gaze and checked the medical network inside the hospital for a while, and suddenly sighed.
Xia Chu hurriedly raised his head and looked at him with hope: "Doctor Shen, have you found any way?!" ”
Shen Junyi said: "I just saw the news on the intranet, saying that Professor Tai Sinian has just been rated as an academician and is about to be transferred to the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences. Before leaving, he was going to give his last academic presentation within the entire Mulan City medical system, which was about genetic evolution. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chujian: "Maybe he has some other way to treat your aunt's illness." ”
"The Year of the Terraces? He's royalty? ”
Shen Junyi nodded: "It's a clan, but it's already a very remote branch, and he himself is not even a nobleman, just a citizen." ”
Xia Chujian looked at him with a puzzled face.
She only knew that "Shantai" was the surname of the royal family, and she did not understand the relationship between the clan, the nobles and the citizens very well.
Shen Junyi smiled and patiently explained: "The royal family is surnamed Shantai, but not all those with the surname Shantai are royal. Clans that did not ascend to the throne in the imperial family will be demoted to nobility after the new emperor ascends the throne. ”
"After three generations of aristocrats, they become citizens. In our Beichen Empire, only the four major nobles are hereditary, and the other nobles cannot be passed down for three generations, even if it is a clan. ”
"Oh......" Xia Chujian rolled his eyes, "but no matter how demoted they are, they are also citizens, and they will definitely not be reduced to civilians, right?" ”
Shen Junyi smiled, "Of course." In the Beichen Empire, the highest rank was the royal family, followed by the nobles, and then the citizens. Then there are the commoners, the untouchables and the slaves. ”
"No matter how poor these clans are, they are the same ancestors as the emperor, how can they be reduced to commoners? However, it is better to let them end up being ordinary citizens than if they were royalty or nobles for generations, right? ”
Xia Chu didn't understand politics and didn't pay attention to it, so she nodded as if she understood it.
Shen Junyi didn't say much about this, and continued: "This Professor Tai Sinian is the chief scientist of Ritchie Pharmaceutical, and in his capacity, he can do a little research on genes. ”
When Xia Chujian heard "Ritchie Pharmaceutical", a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
But she nodded anyway and said, "Can I go to his lecture?" You also said that it was a lecture inside the medical system, so can outsiders go there? ”
"No problem, it's a remote meeting, it's one o'clock in the afternoon, you come to my office, I have permission to let you observe."
Xia Chujian agreed to come down.
Now there is still some time before one o'clock in the afternoon, she first goes back to her aunt's ward, and together with the nurse, bathes Xia Yuanfang, who is still unconscious, and then massages.
After a set of exercises, it was already noon.
Her stomach rumbled again, but she couldn't bear it, because she had to save even a dime a tube of low-grade nutrient solution.
I went to my aunt's ward to drink water, cleaned up casually, and came to Shen Junyi's office at around 12:50.
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting started on time.
In the holographic three-dimensional projection conference room, Tai Sinian sat alone on the podium.
He was a well-groomed man, and although he was in his sixties, he looked like he was in his forties.
As a scientist of the Beichen Empire, this age is the time when he is in the prime of life and produces results.
He played the data and pictures and videos of the three-dimensional holographic projection on the podium, which was particularly unfathomable.
He smiled scholarly and began his speech: "We recognize that human genes are the most perfect, the most stable, and cannot be interfered with or disordered. ”
"Millions of years ago, human beings did not understand their own genes, and tried to act as the hand of creation, carrying out various gene editing and gene mixing, which eventually caused chaos to human beings and led to the emergence of humanoids."
"Millions of years later, there are still hundreds of millions of humanoids in our Beichen Empire, and they are still in the stage of chaotic alternation of human and beast types, and their genes are extremely unstable. That's a lesson from the past. ”
As he spoke, several holographic GIFs that looked very real appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There are creatures with a human upper body and a horse on the lower body, and there are also people with a pig's head and a human neck down.
There are also GIFs that switch between animals and humans.
These are the "humanoids" that Tantaisi Nian said.
Xia Chujian is no stranger to these humans, because the southern area of Mulan City is specially inhabited by the untouchables in humans.
She glanced at the holographic GIFs before looking away and continuing to concentrate on the lecture.
Tantai Sinian continued to talk eloquently: "...... Therefore, after the end of the chaotic era, the first emperor of the empire ordered a ban on the study of human genes, also to ensure the stability of human genes, but also to comply with scientific ethics and no longer let human genes be polluted by alien genes. ”
"However, the human gene is not static, it has always been in evolutionary development, and when it mutates naturally, we have our own genetic evolutionary."
"Three years ago, a rare creature appeared in Mulan City, known as the 'Relic Seed'. This thing is capable of contaminating human genes so quickly! ”
"Its emergence shows that we must accelerate the pace of natural evolution of human genes. Otherwise, we will be subjugated by other species and reduced to humanoid pariahs or slaves. ”
"After years of research, I have discovered that there are natural medicines that can promote the natural evolution of genes without interfering with natural genes. The results were published in the Imperial Journal of Natural Sciences in September this year. ”
The content of the year's speech, Xia Chujian seemed to understand it.
But Shen Junyi nodded frequently, looking like he had benefited a lot.
At the end of the speech and the beginning of the Q&A session, Shen Junyi finally seized the opportunity to ask a question: "May I ask Academician Tantai, is it possible for a patient with a genetic disease to become a genetic evolutionary?" ”
"When she becomes a genetic evolutionary, will her genetic disease be cured?"
Tan Tai Si Nian looked in the direction of Shen Junyi with great interest.
Because it was a remote network conference, under Shen Junyi's operation, he could only see Shen Junyi alone, and he didn't know that Shen Junyi also brought someone to observe the lecture.
In his eyes, he was talking to Shen Junyi alone.
Tan Tai Si Nian smiled at Shen Junyi and said approvingly: "This is a very good question. Truth be told, I'm doing research on this. ”
"Theoretically, a patient with a genetic disease may also have a genetic mutation. Of course, this odds can be negligible. But theoretically it is true. ”
"When a normal person achieves a genetic mutation, it will only be a positive mutation, which will make the person a genetic evolutionary."
"And if a person with a genetic problem has a mutation, there are two things."
"One is a positive mutation, which means that his genes have broken through the shackles of nature and reached a new level, and he will become a representative of the new human race like those who have evolved genes. His genetic disease was cured naturally. ”
"But it is also possible that it is a reverse mutation, which will cause further deterioration of his genes, not to mention curing the disease, and soon the entire gene chain will collapse, and his life will soon come to an end."
"According to our observations, patients with genetic diseases have never had a genetic mutation, not even a reverse mutation. Their genes are very stable. ”
In the remote conference system, there was a burst of laughter.
Xia Chujian's fists hardened.
Other people's pain is just a joke in the eyes of some people.
It's really a relative or a remnant of sorrow, and others have also sung.
The joys and sorrows of mankind have never passed through.
Tan Tai Si Nian didn't laugh, he said very cautiously: "So the situation you said, although it is theoretically true, has never appeared in reality. ”
"But ......" suddenly came to a big turn.
The first summer sight that made a heart fall to the bottom inexplicably rose a new hope.
"I found that there is a plant called 'Kongsang' that promotes natural positive mutations in genes. It's a pity that Kongsang is too rare. For millions of years, in the history of our country, it has only been recorded once that it was discovered. ”
"It's also because it's too rare, in the laws of the Empire, 'Kongsang' is not considered a chemical drug, and the positive mutation of the gene achieved with 'Kongsang' does not violate the laws of the Empire."
