"I remember it was still in the 1940s... early 1940s. Is it like 41?" Xiangshan fell into deep thought.

This memory lacked details, but as "knowledge", he still remembered a general outline and could slightly speculate on the causes and consequences.

Around 1940 or 1941, Yawgmoth suddenly received a grant from the United Nations Program on AIDS, the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health of the Republic to conduct genetic research on HIV.

This incident was regarded as one of the political achievements of the year by the Ministry of Health and publicized in newspapers, portals and other places for several days.

At that time, Xiangshan felt a little puzzled by this, and even a little dissatisfied.

In his opinion, the focus of Superman Enterprises at that time should be on "the human version of genetic modification surgery." He himself can keep applying with ethics committees and other institutions, hoping to get permission to start clinical trials.

Before that, scientists from Superman Enterprise should conduct more genetic modification surgeries on primates, accumulate as much data as possible, prove the safety of this surgery, and lay a solid foundation for the next step of research.

The day this technology breaks through, many people will benefit from it.

This kind of thing requires all the efforts to be concentrated.

Moreover, it’s just AIDS. This infectious disease cannot infect baseline humans. At this point in time, even if Yawgmoth develops a treatment method, it will be of limited significance.

only……

Xiang Shan remembered Tao Enhai's story about "this little fish cares".

——Okay, okay, it’s never wrong to develop medical technology. Maybe there are some patients in the world who really are only a short time away from waiting for the transformation surgery of the benchmark person.

Mukayama could care less about the technology to cure acquired immunodeficiency because he knows full well that the disease will soon be a thing of the past and will no longer be able to infect anyone. But those who have been infected and are racing against death cannot care less.

Therefore, he did not immediately criticize Yawgmoth, but only came to ask Yawgmoth why he did what he did.

Xiangshan knew Yawgmoth. At least at the time, Yawgmoth's thoughts were probably the same as his own, believing that "human genetic modification surgery can overcome all infectious diseases." Xiangshan couldn't figure out why he would suddenly take on such a project.

Yawgmoth gave the answer simply.

“This is a deal in exchange for some bureaucratic support,” “I need funding,” and “I’m interested.”

The first reason is quite realistic, but it's not very Yawgmoth's usual style. Xiangshan was really surprised that Yawgmoth could have such awareness.

In his opinion, the third possible "I'm interested" component may be a little more.

However, Xiangshan still warned Yawgmoth, asking him to "use funds exclusively for his own use" and not to transfer funds from one project to another privately. Even if he wanted to transfer funds, he had to do so in a public-to-public manner.

Yawgmoth nodded well.

So, Xiangshan put the matter behind him.

A few months later, the project under Yawgmoth's name successfully produced the first batch of papers. Xiang Shan also read it and found it to be a satisfactory study.

After some time, during casual chat, he mentioned this matter to Niyaguti.

That night, Xiangshan received a call from Nia Guti. Nia Guti believes that Yawgmoth may have had ulterior motives in taking on those projects.

Yawgmoth's research project has the potential to "change HIV and turn it into another function."

In addition, he has put a lot of effort into "reducing toxicity."

Xiang Shan didn't take it seriously. If Yawgmoth can make a new generation of vaccines, it will be considered an answer to investors.

But Nia Guti spoke of another possibility.

Yawgmoth may have intended to use HIV on himself.

Because in some laboratories of Superman Enterprises, there is also a plan to "use HIV to destroy the primate immune system". Although this practice is rare, there have been sporadic cases in the past.

And "destroying the immune system" is the first step in the baseline human genetic modification surgery.

Xiang Shan was shocked at that time. He just thinks this is nonsense. At this stage, AIDS is still a disease that is difficult to cure and carries high risks.

but……

——As long as the operation is completed...

Niyaguti then asked: "How long has it been since Yog has not appeared in Peiping?"

This question frightened Xiang Shan.

Thinking about it carefully, since that conversation, Xiangshan has never seen Yawgmoth offline. He has had several online chats, and he can't tell what condition Yawgmoth is in.

But... if...

Xiang Shan immediately shook Zhu Xinyu awake and asked Zhu Xinyu to help check Yawgmoth's current location.

Then Zhu Xinyu was surprised to find that Yawgmoth actually used multiple springboards to disguise his position when communicating with company members.

Xiangshan immediately realized that something bad was going on.

By the time they found Yawgmoth, Yawgmoth had already injected himself with modified HIV and started the first stage of genetic modification.

This process has become difficult to reverse.

Yawgmoth was not doing well due to his own immune response. Xiangshan planned to send him to the hospital. But Yawgmoth said that he did not want a hospital, especially a private hospital, to share the most important results of his life. He would rather die.

In desperation, Xiangshan directly spent money to recruit a mature nursing team from the world's top hospitals.

When he originally planned to conduct human clinical trials, Xiangshan had already contacted the Mayo Hospital team and prepared for future experiments, but now he is still confirming his intentions, and only a few have entered the "bargaining" stage. .

But after this incident happened, Xiangshan didn't cut the price anymore, he went straight to a "super double" and hired a team out of hand.

But Yawgmoth's condition is still getting worse. He fell into a coma amid a persistent high fever.

Physicians used physical methods to cool Yawgmoth, but this was not enough.

The complexity of the human central nervous system exceeds that of all other primate species.

It is precisely because of this that the system appears more fragile.

Subsequent experiments have confirmed that the most common cause of death in primate genetic modification surgeries is "slow transformation of the nervous system."

Almost 100% of humans will encounter this problem.

The nervous system must first begin to transform.

But the nervous system is not divided, so its transformation speed is the slowest in the whole body.

Not to mention that it is not easy for viruses to enter the nervous system.

At this time, Comrade Chen Feng came up with an idea.

Use viruses that can quickly infect the nervous system to carry those gene fragments to speed up the transformation of the nervous system and enable it to withstand high temperatures.

That is...

Rabies.
