Marvel: God of Spear Technical Advisor
Chapter 65 Why did you go to Alcatraz Island to do things?
"Close the conference room, turn on optical shielding, and turn on electronic shielding."
Following Zheng Xian's instructions, the electronic lock of the conference room door was locked instantly, and the originally bright floor-to-ceiling windows turned into darkness. At the same time, metal gates fell from above, blocking the windows from the inside.
The conference room suddenly became dark, with only the electronic imaging device on a metal table in front of it emitting a faint blue light.
Zheng Xian stood in front of the metal stage. As the director of the Spear Bureau, as the host of the meeting, he first briefly explained the process and results of the operations related to Alcatraz, as well as the secret placement of the mutant boy Jimmy. Soon, he gave up the stage to
This is the reporter.
"Dear leaders, I will now give the mission summary report. First, I will briefly explain the background of this mission. This mission should be said to be a relatively risky operation..." Qiang Xiang followed the manuscript in front of the metal table.
Read the opening remarks.
Under the lectern, Zheng Xian had just sat down when a shadow that completely melted into the darkness beside him asked in a low voice: "Why is this little monkey so honest today, not glib or blasphemous?"
Zheng Xian poked his lips in a corner at the back and signaled to his immediate superior in the darkness: "Look over there."
In the dark shadows, one could barely make out a woman sitting in the corner, standing as tall as a gun.
"You called Xiang Tian back?" The person who melted into the shadow was surprised and a little embarrassed.
Zheng Xian smiled proudly: "If you want to control that bully, you have to find someone who can recite the tightening curse."
The two black figures chuckled maliciously in a low voice.
In front of the metal stage, a faint blue projection light illuminated the forward face, and the report gradually turned to the main topic.
"In order to explain the necessity of this mission, we first need to explain the concept of target genes." He glanced forward at the audience. Some of them were evaluation experts, but most of them were department affairs officials, not everyone.
All have corresponding knowledge reserves.
"To put it simply, target genes were first proposed during the development of gene therapy technology. During the treatment process, drugs or genetic modification technology are used to targetedly change the characteristics of certain specific gene segments of the patient, thereby achieving
treatment effect.
"Those specific gene segments that are targeted are the target genes."
"Since the emergence of mutants in large numbers, countries around the world have conducted a series of studies on genetic mutations of mutants. It has been confirmed that what causes mutants to mutate is a small fixed gene segment, which the world calls the X gene."
"In order to solve the problem of mutants, all countries are developing genetic drugs that target the x gene. It should be said that the results are gratifying."
"However, as the research progresses, we also discovered a serious problem. Genetic drugs only work on the X gene that has not yet mutated, and are completely ineffective on those who have mutated, that is, who have become mutants."
There were only voices talking forward in the conference room, and there was silence in the audience.
"Our research on mutant genes shows that the X gene in different individuals is completely the same before it is activated - this is also the main reason why genetic drugs are effective - and it does not differ due to different races.
"
"It can be inferred that all mutant genes in humans should come from the same source - of course this has nothing to do with what we are going to talk about today."
During the explanation, Xiang Xiang opened the projection light curtain on the metal platform, which displayed the double helix structure of human genes; his fingers were beating rapidly, manipulating a small section of the double helix structure to explode.
"We regard the x gene before mutation as a recessive gene. This gene does not produce any external phenotype before mutation; but after it is stimulated to mutate, it will change part of the genome and produce obvious phenotypes.
The phenotypes of sex genes are the various abilities of mutants - including, of course, mutations in appearance and body."
"But for genetic research, the problem with mutant gene mutation is that it changes too much."
With the forward operation, the gene spiral on the light curtain differentiates into countless mutation patterns, each pattern represents a mutation.
"As far as we know so far, the X gene has a strange characteristic. After a gene mutation, the recessive X gene fragment is still retained; but at the same time, the dominant X gene produced in each person is different.
"We have tested at least tens of thousands of mutants, and we simply cannot find even the smallest unit of genome that can cover all mutants."
"All experimental data shows that the mutation results of mutant genes are completely disordered. Even two mutants with similar superpowers are likely to have different dominant mutant genes."
"This means that we cannot find a target gene that can target all mutated mutants. Therefore, the development of genetic medicines for mutants in various countries around the world has basically come to a standstill."
As the operation moved forward, a photo of the mutant boy Jimmy appeared on the projection light screen of the metal stage.
"This is why governments around the world show extraordinary concern for the little mutant boy in the hands of Worthington Company."
Moving forward, he once again cast his gaze on the young man wearing a hospital gown and with a bare head on the light screen.
"We made inferences in advance from the information leaked by Worthington Company and confirmed that the endocrine substances in this boy's body have an inhibitory effect on all mutant abilities - all mutant abilities are suppressed without any distinction."
"This shows that outside the scope of existing research, mutant genes do have some commonality that has not been discovered by the world; and the key to finding this commonality lies in this young man. He is the one who breaks the current research bottleneck and completely opens up the door.
The key to mutant gene research.”
"That's why we have to get hold of this little boy."
The forward report came to an end and someone started asking questions.
"Can you be more specific about the value of this Jimmy?"
Grinding his teeth forward, the tirade just now had consumed a lot of his patience, but looking at the blurry yet clear figure in the corner, he decided to renew his patience.
"So far, the endocrine extract in Jimmy's body is the only substance that has been found that can inhibit the ability of all mutants indiscriminately - he is the only one."
"There is no other way to prepare drugs. Is it always the only way to extract drugs from this child?" someone else asked.
"The endocrine substances in Jimmy's body are very potent. Even the endocrine molecules that evaporate automatically from the pores will maintain a certain level of activity, causing mutants who come within five meters of him to become incapacitated."
Xiang Xiang considered the words: "We have tried to artificially synthesize similar substances. In fact, in terms of usage, the related genetic drugs do not need to be too powerful, nor are they required to be effective through airborne transmission; as long as intramuscular injection can be effective
In five hours, it will be worthy of mass production."
"Because from previous clinical trials, the main function of the endocrine substances in Jimmy's body is to inhibit the activity of the mutated X gene, but the effect is not permanent, but only kills the dominant
We already have proven drugs."
Most of the participants nodded silently. This drug is either used on low-level mutants who actively request treatment, or used as a weapon to deal with out-of-control mutant criminals; as long as it can take effect for three to five hours, it can be combined with drugs targeting recessive genes.
It is enough to meet most needs.
