Technological Supremacy Chapter 440: Immunity crisis!
On July 24, 2019, the well-known financial media in North America, Business Insider, published an interesting survey about China, the United States and the United Kingdom.
They randomly selected 1,000 children aged 8 to 12 in three countries to investigate the occupation they most hope to engage in when they become adults. This is an ordinary social science questionnaire, but the results of the investigation are surprising. .
Fifty-six percent of Huaxia children choose astronauts as their first career, and more than 50 percent want to become scientists. It is worth noting that due to the tense relationship between doctors and patients in Huaxia in recent years, I hope The proportion of children who become doctors or nurses has dropped significantly, falling into single digits.
In North America and the United Kingdom, 49% and 47% of children respectively hope to become Internet celebrities, well-known UP hosts, or actors when they grow up...
Alex is a well-known fitness internet celebrity. His sculptural eight-pack abs are his trademark. More than 1.75 million people subscribe to his YouTube channel. If it wasn't for his lifestyle, he would have contracted AIDS , Alex's life is perfect.
On March 1, Alex, like all other selected people, walked into major hospitals. These five million lucky ones will be the first to use immune activation gene drugs to treat disease on the body.
Everything seemed to be going well, Alex took the brown glass bottle containing 100ml of liquid from the nurse, then gritted his teeth, drank it in one gulp, it tasted like passion fruit juice with honey, Alek Smash it, smash it, and return the bottle to the nurse.
After a whole day of observation, the first batch of people who took the gene drug did not have any abnormalities. Considering the limited medical resources, they were allowed to return home.
"Let me tell you, genetic medicine is really cool!"
"This is the greatest invention of the twenty-first century, each of you should try it!"
"Star technology? How could those yellow-skinned monkeys master such high-end atmospheric technology!"
"You ask me how I feel? Honestly, I've never been happier in my life!"
While still on the road, Alex couldn't wait to start the live broadcast, talking nonsense to his fans. In fact, if it wasn't for the hospital's regulations, he would have wanted to live broadcast the whole process of taking the genetic medicine.
From the evening until the early morning, Alex drank champagne and beer, ordered fried chicken and burgers, plus a full kilogram of buttered mashed potatoes, and celebrated wildly with junk food.
And his fans are also immersed in joy. Bodybuilders usually eat like rabbits. It is rare to see Alex indulge once. Looking at the chicken bones on the plate like a hill, the fans have a kind of watching food and broadcasting Sense of sight.
"Let me tell you, people must be happy in this life." Alex said to the camera while chewing on chicken wings: "With genetic medicine, you and women will not get sick no matter what. , eat as much fried chicken as you like and you won’t gain weight, believe me, the future belongs to…”
Alex was talking, when suddenly he covered his heart with one hand and frowned.
"Alex, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk?"
"Could it be a heart problem?"
"Impossible, he is a bodybuilder with a heart as strong as a cow!"
"I'm going! Look, why is Alex's face green!?"
"He's still foaming at the mouth!"
"Call an ambulance! Oh my God, it's terrible, call an ambulance any of you!"
As Alex fell to the ground and twitched in pain, the fans were completely shocked. Thanks to him being broadcast live at the time, fans immediately called an ambulance after being discovered, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
…
Shanghai, the headquarters of Xingchen Technology.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wen Chengfeng stepped onto the podium, holding a Huawei tablet issued by the company.
After sorting out the words in his mind, Wen Chengfeng looked up at everyone, and said: "As we all know, the crisis of immune activation broke out in North America, and it has entered the seventh day. The whole world has fallen into different degrees of panic. According to the data provided by the General Administration, the current number of cases is about 0.5%, or about 25,000 people.”
"On the second day after the incident, the North American authorities sent samples to China overnight. After receiving them, our Life Science Department did a careful study. Now, we can conclude that the major medical accidents that occurred in North America were caused by It lies in the backlash effect brought about by the overpowering of the immune system.”
Wen Chengfeng began to introduce to the brainstorming group the reasons for the outbreak of this major medical crisis in North America.
To put it simply, the immune system is activated and out of control. The reason why the immune system exists is to fight against viruses that are ubiquitous in nature and protect the human body from viruses.
However, after the immune system is activated by genetic agents, it becomes overactive, not only forcibly killing virus cells, but also mistaking the heart, kidneys, and other necessary organs for the human body as the same kind of virus, and strangling them vigorously. It is called immune backlash, or immune out of control.
Although Xingchen Technology has always been a thorn in the side of the West, human life is not a joke. After the outbreak of out-of-control immunity in North America, they sent samples to China as soon as possible. I hope Xingchen Technology can help me, and Xingchen Technology also let go of prejudice , accepted this batch of samples and handed them over to the Wen family brothers for research.
After listening to Wen Chengfeng's words, Luo Jia asked, "Can you estimate the number of casualties?"
Wen Chengfeng nodded, then retrieved the mathematical model he had prepared on the tablet, and said with a serious expression: "The current death toll has exceeded 1,600 people. Based on the speed and energy of the out-of-control immune outbreak, we calculate that In the end, close to 1% of the people will die, and 3% of the people will suffer life-long sequelae even if they are cured.”
50,000 people died and 150,000 were seriously injured!
Everyone gasped. Such a huge number of casualties in peacetime is absolutely shocking. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory obviously made a huge mess.
"How could this happen? Didn't they conduct safety tests?" Dr. Ling Feng said angrily, "It's a reckless disregard for human life to rush unqualified genetic medicine to the market!"
Wen Chengfeng shrugged, "Cold Spring Harbor is the world's No. Nation-states, the genes of all races in the world, can be found in North America.”
"In the final analysis, they were too anxious. After a few small-scale tests were successful, they felt that they were done and promoted rashly. That's why such a serious crisis broke out."
Everyone showed an expression of sudden realization. The complexity of the North American race structure is by no means comparable to that of China. Almost all races and genes on the earth can find samples in North America.
"Based on humanitarian considerations, we cannot just watch tens of thousands of people die and hundreds of thousands of people become permanently disabled."
"Agreed, competition belongs to competition, life belongs to life, there is no equal sign between the two."
"Although I don't like North America at all, those white-skinned pigs are too hypocritical, but we must also admit that ordinary people are innocent."
The Tough Guys group had a lot of discussions. On the issue of whether to rescue North America, everyone had the same idea.
"Last question, can we help North America solve this trouble?" Luo Jia thought for a while and asked again.
"Of course, we have biological blockers, which can reduce the overactive immune function, and then apply gene repair therapy. The only problem is that our genetic medicine also has a death probability of 2 out of 10,000. And a four percent chance of chromosomal mutation."
After hearing this, Luo Jia stood up, "It's better to lose fertility than to die. The Life Science Department will prepare and send our blocker as a remedial measure within 24 hours at the latest. North America."
"At the same time, we also need to ensure that our compatriots in Huaxia receive timely treatment, so as not to be considered by our compatriots in our hometown as favoritism."
Wen Chengfeng nodded and said: "Please don't worry about this. We have always guaranteed the medication of critically ill patients in major hospitals. For patients who can be delayed, we will try our best to delay it for a while. But for patients who really can't wait, the doctor will give them direct treatment. Medication is only for reasons of confidentiality, we have never publicized it with great fanfare, in fact, our clinical trials have reached the level of large-scale national testing.”
If you have a cold and want to use genetic medicine, it is absolutely impossible, and if you are a dying patient in the advanced stage of severe disease, even if you don't say anything, the doctor will take the initiative to take the medicine. This is called a national comprehensive clinical trial.
The national comprehensive clinical trial is huge, and it is the last step before the drug is officially launched. Star Technology has actually gone farther than anyone else in the gene drug journey, and it has reached the point where it is just a step away.
In the evening of that day, a full one million blockers boarded the flight to North America.
At the same time, Luo Jia also received a special call.
"The general's phone number?" Luo Jia frowned and asked the colleague from the administration department who suddenly broke into his office.
Luo Jia has the habit of studying every night. After all, more and more knowledge and data of the Golden Dome have accumulated in his head. Otherwise, the administrative department will not bother him.
"No, it's a call from the White House." The beauty from the administration department said nervously.
Oh~
Luo Jia nodded lightly, waved her hand to signal that she could go out, then thought quickly for a few seconds, picked up the landline on the desk, and dialed the number one line.
On the other end of the phone was a woman who spoke fluent Mandarin. She introduced herself as the President's diplomatic liaison officer and translator. She had a very rare surname, Mei.
"It's like this~IndoMTL.com~Luo Jia said lightly: "Mr. President may have misunderstood. We did airlift a batch of medicines, which will arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow morning China time, but those medicines are blockers. It can forcibly interrupt the large-scale activation of immune function caused by genetic agents. "
"Yes, blockers can save your life. If you are really cured, you need to receive gene repair treatment."
"There is no timetable for the issue of gene therapy. When will we spread the domestic gene therapy team to the township first-level health centers before considering the admission of overseas patients."
"Of course, as a Chinese company, we should give priority to serving the Chinese people."
The communication went smoothly. Luo Jia didn't care who the person on the other end of the phone was, and told her plan in a down-to-earth manner.
Overemphasizing nationalism and watching patients outside of China die without doing anything is definitely not possible, but there must be an order in everything. According to the practice of Star Technology, China has always been prioritized, and overseas countries have been left behind.
"What are you thinking? We are not the conscience of the US emperor." After hanging up the phone at the White House, Luo Jia muttered in a teasing tone.
