Chapter 49 Gene Medicine
Director Zhong Beishan of the institute was waiting at the gate with his men, and soon two minibuses drove in.
A group of people got off the bus, most of them in military uniforms. The old man in front can often be seen in the news broadcast. He is the third person in the military.
"Chief, we are ready."
Zhong Beishan shook hands with the third chief and said.
"Mr. Zhong, thank you for your hard work."
The third chief held his hand tightly and said solemnly that Zhong Beishan is the leading expert in biological genetics in Xia country, a world-class scientist, and a national treasure of Xia country. Even if he is the third person in the military, he must give enough respect to Mr. Zhong and dare not be arrogant.
After greeting, everyone quickly came to the underground research institute. ♦
Tang Ming and ten of the best soldiers in Xia country were already in a large room. Everyone was lying on a bed, and everyone's hands and feet were fixed. There were many medical equipment around, and there were many medical staff in front of the bed. These medical equipment and medical staff were prepared to prevent accidents.
The situation in the ward can be seen through the glass window. After the No. 3 leader sat down, he spoke directly to Zhong Beishan.
"Mr. Zhong, it's time to start."
Zhong Beishan has not been through big things before, but with his eighty-year-old age, he rushed to the front line, working day and night. With the support of the country, less than 100,000 people in the entire Xia country of more than one billion were infected with the virus, and the death toll was far lower than that of the world's number one superpower, Meiyijian. It can be said that he has made it through such a dangerous situation.
Nearly half of the human race has been infected with the zombie virus, and it is irreversible, which means that once you become a zombie, you can't turn back into a human. You can only eliminate the zombies, but unless humans use a killer to wipe out the city, it is impossible for humans to defeat zombies in street fighting in the city, not to mention that zombies are constantly evolving, becoming faster, stronger and stronger.
The countries that still exist in the world have been communicating to see if they can solve the zombie virus through biologists all over the world. However, this is called the x virus. Biologists only know that it can promote the evolution of all organisms on the earth. Marine organisms evolve the fastest, followed by birds, then land organisms, and the worst are humans and plants. Scientists speculate that zombies are the product of human evolution failure. Zombies have become another kind of creature.
The surviving humans are all carriers of the x virus, but because humans' own immune system has not erupted, some people are bitten by zombies. The x virus enters the human blood vessels through the teeth of zombies and enters the body, causing the virus in the human body to exceed the standard, and then become zombies.
Scientists also found that as long as humans insist on exercising every day and keep up with nutrition, their physical fitness will improve faster than before the end of the world. This is also the evolution of humans, but not as fast as other organisms.
So scientists are trying to speed up the evolution of humans, otherwise humans will sooner or later be replaced by other organisms as the dominant position on the earth. How can humans endure it?
Brain cores, a product unique to zombies or mutants, have caught the attention of scientists. Zhong Beishan has been studying the role of brain cores since the end of the world, and has tried every means to extract the crystals of the x virus in the brain core and make them into genetic medicines to accelerate the direction of human evolution.
However, the x virus crystals extracted with great difficulty cannot be directly injected into the human body. There is only one consequence of doing so, which is to turn into zombies. The research institute has already conducted experiments on mice or monkeys, and without exception, neutralizers are needed.
When Western medicine was not feasible, Zhong Beishan took a different approach and thought of Xiaguo herbal medicine, a treasure passed down by ancestors for thousands of years. He used supercomputers to calculate the formula and dosage of herbal medicines, and even calculated various combination prescriptions. After repeated trial and error, and experiments, with the assistance of hundreds of biological experts drawn from all over the country, he finally matched the neutralizer, which was combined with the x virus crystals to become a genetic medicine.
This gene drug research institute has repeatedly tested mice and other animals, and even death row prisoners. The test results show that if it is a healthy young person without underlying diseases, the physical fitness will be doubled within one day after the injection, but after the second injection, all genes will collapse and die without exception. If it is an elderly person or a person with underlying diseases, the success rate of injecting gene drugs is less than 10%. This is also the reason why the dignitaries in Kyoto did not inject gene drugs. Only when the percentage success rate is guaranteed will they use it. It was still the elder who decided to transfer ten soldiers from all over the country to inject first, and then use it in a small range in various military regions.
The current gene drug product is too high. Ten thousand brain cores can produce one drug. It can only be promoted on a small scale. Moreover, the production means are still controlled by the central government and cannot be distributed to the local areas. Now it is produced in Kyoto and then distributed to the provincial military regions. This is also a means for the central government to restrict the local areas.
"Let's start."
"Okay."
Although it had been tested on death row prisoners and all kinds of unexpected situations had been recorded, Zhong Beishan still focused on watching the medical staff inject the gene drugs into the ten soldiers. It was just that he couldn't see it on his face. After all, there were so many people present, including those from the military and the research institute. How could he, as the head of the research institute, show nervousness?
It was an intravenous injection, and it was completed quickly. Everyone watched them quietly.
Tang Ming and others followed Han Mei to the underground research institute this morning, where they met the national treasure scientist Zhong Beishan. Then Zhong explained why they came here. Zhong said that it was to inject genetic drugs. Although it passed the clinical trial, there was still a possibility of accidents. If they wanted to withdraw, they could withdraw, but how could it be possible? Who are they? They are the best among the millions of soldiers in the army. Even if they were asked to go through fire and water, they would not hesitate at all. Their loyalty to the country is unquestionable.
Not long after Tang Ming was injected with the genetic drug, his entire body felt numb as if he had been bitten by ants. Then he began to feel pain in his bone marrow and internal organs. His entire body was numb and in pain. Even with his super soldier-level willpower, he could not bear it. No wonder they had to be tied up. If they were not tied up, they might have hurt themselves. You know, when he went to Southeast Asia to encircle and suppress drug lords, he could lie on the ground for two days and two nights without eating or drinking. You can imagine how strong his willpower is. Now, the injection of the genetic drug feels like it is more painful than a woman giving birth. He doesn't know that this genetic drug is recombining his genes, which will make him reborn, just like eating a treasure from heaven and earth in the martial arts novels.
