Chapter 247 Ivo Road Cell

This is what happened in a very short period of time.Even the dynamic eyesight of a chivalrous man cannot fully capture all of this.

Among the eight or nine knights present, only Xiang Shan, Tao Enhai himself and the knight named Baiman reacted.

No one expected that after Tao Enhai was provoked, his body moved involuntarily.He rushed to Xiangshan.

Judging from the starting gesture, he should want to clasp Xiang Shan's shoulder.

——Ah, according to this person's habits, reprimand and questioning should be followed... with the attitude of an elder?

Xiang Shan even thought of this.Although he didn't know who "Doctor Tao" was, he did extract them from his memory.

"Knowledge of this person's behavior pattern" is more important than "memory spent with this person" - Xiang Shan probably made such a choice more than 200 years ago.Experiences that were really spent with friends were transcribed and transferred to the hard disk rack.Today, those memories have long since disappeared with quantum hard drives.

What remains in Xiangshan's brain is only the "knowledge needed to distinguish ourselves from the enemy".

So, now Xiang Shan knew that this "Doctor Tao" was friendly.

To be honest, Xiang Shan quite understood Dr. Tao's reaction now.He himself doesn't like this technology called "personality masking"-whether it's real or fake.This technology should not be abused, at least until the bottom line of ethics and law is constrained.

And the modern age happens to be an era of lawlessness.

Then, Xiang Shan realized another thing.

This "Doctor Tao" may not be in a good state.

His first step was wrong.The cranial nerves gave wrong instructions to the prosthesis.Since strong emotions heighten the weight of the order, the mechanism by which the prosthesis self-corrects posture is completely overridden by the order.

This Tao doctor will fall at supersonic speed.

Xiang Shan quickly adjusted his posture, lowered his body, and wanted to reach out to catch this "old friend".

But he felt that his hands... no, his whole body seemed to be covered with a "membrane".He is moving against a tough "membrane".This "membrane" completely covered him.Every movement he made was against this invisible barrier.

This "membrane" is not a sound barrier.It's called "performance".

Xiang Shan's current prosthetic body can only go so fast, only so fast.

——I must have been much faster in the past than I am now.

Xiang Shan was thoughtful.

Then, amidst the violent sonic boom, Xiang Shan and Taue Enhai collided.Xiang Shan grabbed Taue Enhai's waist with one hand, and spun around on the ground several times, dispelling the terrifying force, and finally stopped in a half-kneeling position.

—feels terrible, have to replace the elbow and shoulder parts again...

Xiang Shan thought so.

In the cloud of smoke and dust, the dumbfounded group of heroes looked at the old knight who suddenly made trouble.

Tao Enhai threw Xiang Shan's hand away: "You actually reacted... yes. If it's similar to his way of thinking, it means that certain structures of the brain are very suitable for martial arts. Yes, you should have a very high reaction."

He clasped Xiang Shan's left shoulder with one hand: "You have a very high talent. If you are willing to practice hard, you don't need to follow these crooked ways, and you can become a generation of famous heroes. You should have a chance to surpass that person! But you What are you doing? Huh?"

The doctor was furious: "I beg you, let that old guy rest in peace!"

At this moment, everything in the entire cave was silent, only the howling wind outside the cave remained.

That subterranean Pixiu was the first to speak: "Old knight, what do you mean? This is..."

Ah Tan said: "Pixiu! Stop talking!"

His hands were also shaking slightly.

Only Tao Enhai's assistant, Lu Xiu, was shocked, and said, "Master! Calm down! Calm down! You must not have violent mood swings! Vigorous bioelectricity will speed up the course of Ivoro cells!"

Tao Enhai then let go of Xiangshan.But his prosthetic eye still locks on this person.

As for Xiang Shan, more memories were triggered: "Iwolu cells? Disease course? This thing... This thing has also become a weapon?"

Ivoro cells are the world's first tumor cells from Yawgmov Voigt's nerve sheath tissue.

Perhaps it was a defect of the first generation of gene therapy. At that time, the body of this genetic genius had many tumors, both benign and malignant.However, because Tao Enhai has already found a lot of detection methods for benchmark people from the data of animal experiments, and the best medical team in the world is monitoring his body in real time, so almost all lesions were eliminated immediately. Lost.Afterwards, with the follow-up gene therapy developed by Yawgmoth, the cancer no longer appeared.

In the process, Yawgmoth donated his tumor cells.This cell can divide indefinitely and will not die due to too many divisions.

This is an excellent experimental platform.

In early 1951, a poor African-American woman born in the United States developed cervical cancer.She was treated at a hospital—simply because it was one of the few institutions at the time that was willing to take care of African Americans.During the treatment, the doctor took away a piece of her lesion tissue and cultured it in vitro.

Then, the in vitro culture was a big success.The woman's cancer cells can divide rapidly and without limit under laboratory conditions.

It's just that the woman's own cancer treatment wasn't as successful.She passed away at the end of 51 years.

Perhaps it was because the woman was infected with several viruses.This resulted in her cancer cells not only being able to replicate, but replicating themselves a bit faster than normal cancer cells.

This is an intangible wealth.

These cells are called "HeLa" cells. "HeLa" is the abbreviation of the poor woman's name.

The discovery of HeLa cells enables human beings to use real living human cells instead of near-human organisms such as macaques as experimental subjects, without having to bear moral responsibility.They can use real people's cells to accept radiation, poison tests, or infect various viruses.And things like testing vaccines and making vaccines can also rely on this kind of human cells.

The doctor who successfully cultivated this line of cells in vitro generously shared the woman's cells with colleagues all over the world.It has appeared in petri dishes in biological laboratories around the world, and has become an important cornerstone of modern global pharmaceutical and chemical industries, creating a value of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

But unfortunately, the woman's husband, children and subsequent descendants did not get any benefit.Instead, the DNA privacy of part of their family is being studied over and over by biologists around the world—whether they like it or not.

Xiang Shan probably still remembers—is this a memory from the Demon Cult?Or did he remember it himself? ——Yawgmoth has always regarded this matter as "a major stain on the development of biology".

Therefore, he personally presided over a brand new donation procedure.He hired a huge legal team and signed a complicated donation agreement that works around the world.This agreement ensures that any of his descendants within five generations can terminate this donation if they feel that this incident has violated their privacy.But the agreement also ensures that his descendants will not be able to obtain excessive material compensation from the research institution no matter what they think.

Of course, Xiang Shan also knew another thing - the reason why Yawgmoth made this donation agreement was just to leave a positive donation agreement template for the biological community.In order to avoid real offspring interfering with the progress of human science, he will never leave behind his own children.If there was a genuine emotional need, he would go for adoption.

"Hehe...it was really noble at that time..." Xiang Shan felt his head hurt very much.Some kind of "something" boiled in the cranial cavity: "This thing is also a weapon? Is this thing also made into a weapon?"

Evolu Cell, Evolu Cell, is taken from "evolution", which means "evolution".His original owner hoped that this benchmark human cell, which could reproduce indefinitely, could become an ideal human cell experiment platform like HeLa cells.

"Didn't you make fun of it many years ago?" Tao Enhai, who used meditation to calm down, responded disdainfully: "'This thing absorbs electricity too efficiently. I'm afraid it can become a giant monster like Godzilla if thrown into a nuclear power plant. Right'—this kind of words..."

Tao Enhai realized something was wrong as soon as he spoke.The tone of this guy in front of him was too much like his old friend from the past - he couldn't help but mistook this guy for Xiang Shan!

Anger welled up in my heart again.But this time without asking his disciples to remind him, Tao Enhai began to meditate by himself to suppress his anger.

Xiang Shan even took a second or two to accept this shocking fact.

He patted the side of his head with his hand.

I have to admit that the world does change.

Soon, Tao Enhai returned to calm.He said: "Don't read some memories and think how noble our generation is. We are all human, the same. The third-generation transformation of Iwolu cells can produce fine spores. It only needs a little Air with a little moisture, as well as electricity, can reproduce itself. It can paralyze electrical mechanisms and electronic equipment. Of course, if it enters the human body, it can also corrode the brain and cause death."

Looking up and down the mountain, Tao Enhai said, "Your motor nerves have been severely eroded. You can move freely, all thanks to the posture correction algorithm of the prosthetic body?"

Tao Enhai snorted, as an admission.

"So, you need to do brain separation surgery, discarding the brainstem?"

"Well, the brainstem, the motor center in the cerebellum is not that important for prosthetics. The organs that depend on them for living are gone, and they don't need these nerves to command them. We don't have muscles anymore. As long as we don't use artificial muscle fibers then The expensive prosthetic body actually has no effect. Even part of the functions of the limbic cortex can be replaced by a computer." Tao Enhai hummed: "For humans, the neocortex is the core part. Let this part survive, just There is still hope."

　Note: About "Throwing Ivolu cells into the power plant, maybe it will become a big monster", it is actually a tribute to "Tiga Altman".The "Ablon cell" that appeared in this special photo work [a cell found in the universe that can co-exist with the earth's organisms], among which Ebolon is the Chinese transliteration of the Japanese pronunciation of Evolu.In fact, I did consider whether to let the six dragons teach this idea.However, considering that this is a world where human beings cannot become light, the appearance of such a big monster seems a bit nonsense, so I finally gave up (laughs)
