Chapter 1648: Unexpected Information
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I also know what you want to say, Mr. Ye.”
“On the surface, countries and the scientific community are indeed not allowed to carry out such scientific research and applications.” Isabella blinked. “But in private, you know…”
“There are too many scientific lunatics and people who are interested in their terrifying potential.”
“So, as long as they don’t go too far, we usually turn a blind eye.”
“After all, to a certain extent, the Royal Secret Service Organization of the Sun Never Sets Empire, and even the members of the royal family, are all its benefactors.”
“…” Ye Feng was speechless again. “Why is it related to the royal family?”
“Just think about it and you’ll know,” Isabella answered without hesitation. “This technology can modify some human genes to have the advantages of some animals.”
“Then, in other words, can it also play an unimaginable role in the medical field?”
“For example, a patient with a weak heart could be genetically modified into an animal with extremely strong heart and lung functions. Another example would be an old man who was frail but did not want to die. His genes could be modified into an animal with longevity…”
Ye Feng only reacted after hearing her words. “So, this thing is not only pushed by some crazy scientists and capitalists, there are many powerful people who are secretly supporting it?”
“Although it sounds ridiculous, it’s the truth.” Isabella nodded. “There are too many nobles who want to live a long life.”
“Even if this technology is still relatively new in the clinical application of the medical field, and it is completely unable to achieve the transformation of the human heart and lung and the change of the human lifespan that I mentioned earlier, just this prospect and future is enough to make many people crazy.”
“In the Sun Never Sets Empire, there are more than ten biological research institutes that are conducting similar scientific research in private.”
“Besides the Sun Never Sets Empire, there are more advanced biological research institutes in America, Japan, and Korea…”
Ye Feng finally understood why she said that genetic modifications were very common.
With such a large number of biological research institutes conducting related scientific research and experiments in private, it would be strange if the number of genetically modified people born in the end was small.
He immediately followed Isabella’s words and asked, “At present, what is the clinical application of this genetic modification technology in the medical field?”
Isabella seemed to have some concerns when he mentioned this.
She observed her surroundings.
After making sure that there was nothing strange around, she lowered her voice and said, “As far as I know, the most advanced genetic modification technology comes from the famous Layford Life Science Research Institute in the Sun Never Sets Empire.”
“Not long ago, it was said that they successfully slowed down the aging of an old duke of the Sun Never Sets Empire with a new gene serum.”
“Although the delayed effect is only expected to last for a year, many members of the royal family 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 completing the genetic modification.”
“Is the news true?” Ye Feng confirmed.
This was a big deal.
If genetic modification could slow down aging, then those rich and powerful people would surely flock to it.
As for the mysterious organization he was facing, the connections and influence they could gather were extremely terrifying.
“I’m sure.” Isabella, on the other hand, was very confident. “My colleague was involved in the secret protection work of the modification before.”
“After that, although the duke strictly requested everyone to keep it a secret, we, as well as a few well-informed nobles, still received the news.”
“As a result, many old and important figures have begun to visit the Layford Life Sciences Research Institute frequently recently.”
Ye Feng immediately memorized the name of this research institute.
Then, he asked, “I seem to have heard from someone that the success rate of genetic modification is very low?”
“This Layford Life Science Research Institute actually dared to perform genetic modification on the old duke. Aren’t they afraid of problems?”
“Of course, they were afraid.” Isabella smiled. “That’s why they did the experiments in the laboratory many times before they dared to use the most conservative plan to perform genetic modification on the nobles.”
“And you might not know, but the Layford Life Sciences Research Institute is the undisputed leader in the field of genetic modification within the Sun Never Sets Empire.”
“In their genetic research institute, they have successfully modified more than one super soldier that is close to the super soldier level of American science fiction movies. In addition, under extremely risky experimental conditions, they have successfully modified the hearts of more than one heart disease patient…”
“When we do some genetic modification that is not too complicated, or when we modify some warriors who are on the same level as the members of the golden team of the Funeral Organization, as long as we give them enough money, their success rate can basically be stabilized at about 30%.”
Ye Feng did not know what kind of combat strength the super soldiers had in the American sci-fi movies she was talking about.
However, after hearing her description, he immediately made a note of this important information.
He continued to ask her some related questions. After getting to know most of what he wanted to know, he said, “Can I trouble you to help me sort out a list of scientific research institutions participating in genetic modification research in the Sun Never Sets Empire?”
“It would be best if they could be detailed, such as when they began their research, when they began to produce results, and what kind of strength the soldiers who have been successfully modified can reach.”
“Sure.” Isabella agreed readily. “You are my sister’s savior.”
“And my sister just told me to help you as much as possible.”
“Let’s exchange contact information. I’ll send it to you when I’m done.”
“Alright.” Ye Feng immediately exchanged contact information with her.
After he was done, he said goodbye to Isabella.
He left with his painting and a bag full of treasures.
Just as he was about to leave the Horseshoe Brewery ghetto, the familiar system notification finally rang out.
“Congratulations, Host. You have completed the treasure-hunting navigation. Reward: 10 years of cultivation.”
At the same time that the system announcement sounded, a strange feeling quickly swept through Ye Feng’s body.
In just an instant, Ye Feng felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, muscles, bones, eyes, nose, ears, every inch of his skin, and so on, seemed to be immersed in a warm ocean.
Mysterious beyond words, wonderful beyond words!
