Earth Era - v2 Chapter 421

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

In the past, such meetings have been held many times, and the topics of each meeting are probably similar. It is nothing more than exchange of progress and new discoveries between different groups during this period of time, or to discuss with each other whether there is new Possibility, but the end result is often fruitless. Therefore, for this meeting, people also did not report much expectations.

The meeting went on in a dull mood. People reported their work for this period of time step by step, and the discussion phase was simply omitted – because there was really nothing worth discussing right now. It was thought that the meeting would end here as before, but Wang Hao did not announce the end of the meeting.

“I have an idea that I would like to discuss with you.” Wang Hao said slowly, “Although our laboratory has not been established for a long time, it has been a while. During this time, we have tried various methods and achieved I have accumulated a lot of data and experience. Based on this data and experience, I speculate that the process by which this particular dark matter particle affects the human body may not be the same as the process that affects any other animal.”

The researchers looked at each other and couldn’t react for a while.

One researcher said: “No single effect is the same for different life forms. Humans are different from any other life, or any life from the rest, in terms of structure, genes, body size, environment, etc., The same influence cannot of course be the same.”

Wang Hao shook his head and said, “What I’m talking about is different, not the surface difference, but the essence.”

Although Wang Hao’s words were a bit twisted, people still understood it immediately, so there was a buzzing sound in the conference room.

“In essence, the human body is not different from the rest of life. If there is such a difference, what’s the point of our animal experiments?”

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

Medicine has been developed this way for thousands of years, and it has yielded fruitful victories over innumerable diseases. But now, Wang Hao has questioned the foundations of medicine.

“I wonder where you came to these conclusions?”

“I don’t think it’s necessary to discuss this concept. Do those dark matter particles also have their own consciousness, and will they treat different lives differently?”

The original dull atmosphere was immediately broken, and the discussion in the conference room lasted for a few minutes before it became quiet. Almost every participant expressed their views, and these views, without exception, were all against.

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

“We have confirmed that a total of about 10,000 genes will be affected by this dark matter particle. Among them, the affected unique genes account for more than 60% of the total unique genes, while non-unique genes only occupy About ten percent of the total number of non-unique genes. Are these data really just coincidences?”

These figures are the first time the researchers have seen them. It’s not because the data is so hard to come by, in fact, it’s just a simple division. The problem is that before this, no one thought the data would be useful at all.

Even if these data are true, what does this… mean?

“On the grounds that the affected genes account for a relatively large proportion of human-specific genes, it is not rigorous and even unscientific to think that the particle affects the existence process and mechanism of human beings and the rest of life. This is not for us as serious researchers. The attitude you should have.”

“If it’s a coincidence, then through these numbers games, I can find countless coincidences in the world.”

Wang Hao did not argue with people, but said lightly: “If there is only one data, then there is indeed a suspicion of coincidence. However, why are there such phenomena in other animals?”

Since the establishment of the biochemical laboratory, many animal experiments have been carried out, involving more than 30 species and more than 10,000 animals. This is the data after removing the microbiological test.

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

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

In pigs, up to 69 percent of the unique genes are affected.

Monkeys, cats, frogs, dogs…

A total of more than 30 species of animals, all of which have this phenomenon. This means that this must not be a coincidence, but that there is some undiscovered law behind it.

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

“The affected genes are different, and the mechanism of influence is very likely to be different. On the surface, whether humans or other animals are affected, the symptoms after being affected are similar, but different causes may also lead to similar symptoms, And that leads us to be misled by appearances and to keep focusing on animal testing.”

A researcher said in a deep voice: “Wang Hao, what you said is still only a possibility. We cannot say it is correct until it is verified.”

Wang Hao nodded: “Yes, we need to find a way to verify it.”

A question immediately popped into the minds of almost all the attendees: “How can I verify this?”

Those who have become ill, or who have died cannot be verified. Because Wang Hao’s inference is that different mechanisms of lesions lead to different processes, but the results may be the same. People who have been sick or died are the results, and here, the process cannot be reversed from the results.

Then there is only one way left, which is to send one or more human beings and let them enter the Bread Nebula to receive the influence of that special dark matter particle, so that researchers can actually observe its change process. .

But no matter who knows, this is impossible. Now that the news of the existence of deadly “radiation” in the Bread Nebula has been confirmed, who else would be willing to act as a specimen to withstand the influence of the Bread Nebula? For this experiment, in order to verify an idea, throwing their lives in space, would anyone really be willing to do it?

Wang Hao looked indifferent, glanced at the serious-looking researchers, and whispered: “It is actually very easy to confirm this problem. Just find a human being who is in the process of being affected, and actually observe the changes in his body. That’s it.”

A researcher said in a muffled voice: “No one wants to do this test at the cost of their own lives.”

Another researcher said: “Maybe this research need can be reported to the superior, and the superior will coordinate to find a death row prisoner to participate in the trial.”

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

But Wang Hao denied this proposal without hesitation: “Because of the existence of communication delay, it is impossible for the base to guide the operation of the trial party in real time. Participants must have rich medical knowledge and research experience to be competent. Actively cooperate with the collection of data to complete the requirements.”

People were silent again. The thresholds set by these requirements have excluded most people, not to mention the death row prisoners who are destined to be killed, even a normal person is incompetent.

All the people present undoubtedly met the requirements, but no one volunteered to participate in the trial. Wang Hao didn’t think that this meant that their moral level was not high or that they were greedy for life and fear of death, because Wang Hao himself was not willing to participate in an experiment that was very likely to lose his life.

After a long silence, a scientist said: “This is not something we can decide. I suggest that this matter be reported to the superior, who will openly recruit volunteers. I admit that I do not have the courage to participate in this experiment~www.mtlnovel.com~ but we In civilization, there must be heroes who are noble enough to give up their lives.”

Under the current circumstances, the scientist’s proposal was almost the only feasible way, but Wang Hao shook his head and rejected the proposal.

“Before coming up with this plan, I had already decided that I would carry out this mission.” Wang Hao smiled bitterly: “I am also afraid, and I also don’t want to lose my life like this, but I have to go.”

At this moment, everyone’s attention was instantly focused on Wang Hao.

“Wang Hao, someone will take your place. You are our chief scientist, and the entire project team needs you to lead. You don’t have to, you don’t have to…”

Wang Hao’s eyes became firm again: “Because I am the chief scientist of the biochemical research laboratory, I must stand up. I must let people understand that we medical experts who carry the hope of the entire civilization are still persevering, still In the struggle, still willing to pay any price for the ideal. Only in this way, people will not despair, and people will believe in us again.”

“And, performing this mission is not necessarily to die. My life is in your hands.”
