Chapter 1648: Unexpected Information
"I also know what you want to say, Mr. Ye."
"On the surface, countries and the scientific community do not allow this kind of research and application." Isabella blinked, "But privately, you know..."
"There are simply too many scientific lunatics and investors who see its terrifying potential."
"So, as long as they don't go too far, we usually turn a blind eye."
"After all, to some extent, our British Empire's Royal Secret Service Organization and even the royal family are its beneficiaries."
"..." Ye Feng was speechless again, "Why is it related to the royal family again?"
"You'll know if you think about it." Isabella said without hesitation, "This technology can transform some human genes into some animal's advantageous characteristics."
"So, in other words, can it also play some unexpected roles in the medical field?"
"For example, we could give the genes of a patient with a weak heart to transform him into an animal with extremely strong heart and lung functions. Another example is, we could give the genes of an elderly person who is weak but does not want to die to transform him into an animal with longevity properties..."
After hearing what she said, Ye Feng finally realized, "So, this thing is not only promoted by some crazy scientists and capital behind the scenes, but also supported by many powerful people in secret, right?"
"Although it sounds absurd, it is true." Isabella nodded. "There are too many powerful people who want to live long."
“Even though the clinical application of this technology in the medical field is still relatively rudimentary and cannot achieve the degree of transforming the human heart and lungs and changing the human life span that I mentioned earlier, the prospect and future alone are enough to drive many people crazy.”
"In the British Empire, there are at least ten biological research institutes that are secretly conducting similar scientific research. I know of them alone."
"Besides the British Empire, there are definitely more places with advanced biotechnology such as the United States, the island countries, and Korea..."
Ye Feng now finally understood why she said that genetically modified people were very common.
With so many biological research institutes secretly conducting related scientific research and experiments, it would be strange if the number of genetically modified people that are eventually born is small.
He immediately followed Isabella's question and asked, "At present, to what extent can this type of gene modification technology be used clinically in the medical field?"
Isabella seemed a little worried when she mentioned this.
Observed the surroundings.
After making sure there was nothing unusual around him, he lowered his voice and said, "The most advanced genetic modification technology I know of so far comes from the famous Life Science Institute of the British Empire."
"Not long ago, it was said that they used a new type of gene drug in clinical practice and successfully helped an elderly duke of the British Empire to delay aging."
"Although the delaying effect is only expected to last for one year, many royal family members and well-informed tycoons were still shocked and envious when they saw that the old duke, who was already unable to walk, was able to walk after the genetic modification."
"Is the news true?" Ye Feng confirmed.
This is a big deal.
If genetic modification can really delay aging, then the rich and powerful will surely flock to it.
As for the mysterious organization he was facing, the connections they could gather and the influence they could exert were extremely terrifying.
"Sure." Isabella was very confident. "My colleague was involved in the secret protection work of that transformation before." "Although the Duke strictly required everyone to keep it secret, people like us and a few powerful people who were particularly well-informed still got wind of it."
"As a result, many elderly celebrities have started to visit the Left Life Sciences Institute frequently recently."
Ye Feng immediately remembered the name of this research institute.
Then he asked, "I seem to have heard someone say that the success rate of genetic modification is very low?"
"This Lefort Life Science Institute actually dared to genetically modify the old duke. Aren't they afraid of problems?"
"Of course they are afraid." Isabella smiled. "So they first conducted repeated experiments in the laboratory and confirmed that the error rate was close to zero before they dared to use the most conservative plan to perform genetic modification on those powerful people."
"And you may not know that the Left Life Science Institute is the undisputed leader in the field of genetic modification within the British Empire."
"In their genetic research institute, they have transformed more than one super soldier close to the level of super soldiers in American science fiction movies. In addition, under extremely risky experimental conditions, they have successfully transformed the heart genes of more than one heart disease patient..."
"When doing some less complicated genetic modifications, or modifying some fighters like the Undertaker's Golden Fighters, as long as they are paid enough, their success rate can basically be kept at around 30%."
Ye Feng didn't know what the combat power of the super soldier-level super soldier in the American science fiction movies she mentioned was.
However, after hearing her description, I immediately wrote down this important information.
He continued to ask her some related questions. After he understood almost everything she wanted to know, he said, "Could you help me compile a list of scientific research institutions in the British Empire that are involved in genetic modification research?"
"It would be better if it was more detailed, marking when they started the research, when they started to produce results, and what strength the warriors they have successfully transformed can reach."
"Sure." Isabella agreed readily, "You are my sister's savior."
"And my sister just told me to try my best to help you."
"Let's leave each other our contact information. I'll send it to you when I'm done."
"Okay." Ye Feng immediately exchanged contact information with her.
After finishing all these, he said goodbye to Isabella.
He returned home with his Picasso painting and a bag full of treasures.
Just when he had completely finished his business here and walked out of the slums of the Horseshoe Brewery, the familiar system prompt sound finally appeared.
[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the treasure hunt navigation and received the reward of ten years of skill]
As the prompt sound appeared, a subtle feeling quickly swept through Ye Feng's whole body.
In just a moment, Ye Feng felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and even muscles, bones, eyes, nose, ears, every inch of skin seemed to be immersed in a warm sea.
Mysterious and wonderful, beyond words!
