In Namibia, orders for various laser components that Chen Chen needs have been placed, but it will take a long time to receive the finished products. After all, what Chen Chen needs are high-precision laser lenses and other components.

Each of these components is priceless, and the production time is naturally extremely long.

Chen Chen sent bodyguards to accompany his parents on a tour around Namibia, while he entered the Minaret Experimental Base again.

In the month since Chen Chen was gone, Little X had already conducted a modified T-virus injection experiment.

Unfortunately, in that experiment, Chen Chen's clone did not withstand the modified T-virus at all, but directly turned into a zombie.

At this moment, Chen Chen looked at a rotting zombie in the isolation room, wandering aimlessly, and it was 90% similar to Chen Chen, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Excellency, Godfather, after this zombie fused with the T virus, we have checked his DNA and found three errors in total."

The voice of Little X came, "Now these three errors have been improved and transformed into a virus numbered T-002. Do you need to conduct a second experiment?"

"Go ahead."

Chen Chen nodded. T-002 is the name Xiao X gave to this improved version of the T-virus. The full name of the original T-virus was TYRANT-Virus, and the first version of the T-virus improved based on Chen Chen's genetics was named T-Virus. 001.

Then T-001 failed, and after being improved again, it became the current T-002.

At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly asked again, "By the way, how many clones do I have?"

"Are you saying that there are no clones injected with the T virus?"

Little X asked, "You made a total of five cloned fertilized eggs fused with T virus, and five cloned fertilized eggs that were not injected with T virus. Now there are still four clones fused with T virus, which have not been injected with T virus. There are only three normal clones left."

"Three?"

Chen Chen pondered, "Make ten more normal clones. After all, it takes half a year to cultivate normal clones. If you cultivate them earlier, you will avoid having no clones available."

"clear."

After Xiao X promised,

Immediately, several black knight assistants stepped forward, opened a life incubation chamber, and took out a clone of Chen Chen inside.

After the clone was tied to a stretcher and connected to various life support equipment, a black knight took out the modified T-virus that had been prepared and injected it directly into the clone.

"The blood pressure of the clone is normal..."

"Heartbeat is normal..."

"The brain wave is a delta wave in a normal sleep state, with a frequency of 1~3Hz and an amplitude of about 20~200μV..."

Little X kept reporting the readings of the clone's body, while Chen Chen watched silently with folded arms.

However, as time passed, the physical characteristics of the clones began to change.

"The body temperature of the clone is rising sharply, its immune system is working, and it is competing with the T virus for control of the body!"

"The blood pressure of the clone is rising rapidly, currently systolic blood pressure 180mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 140mmHg!"

"Heart rate accelerated to 120 beats per minute and still rising!"

In this way, two or three hours have passed.

"Oops, the clone's heartbeat has stopped, his immune system has collapsed, and he is transforming into a zombie!"

Obviously, the second experiment still failed.

Watching all this silently, Chen Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, have you tried immunosuppressants for the clone?"

"Immunosuppressant?" Little X asked in surprise.

"That's right."

Chen Chen nodded, "I've been thinking, besides genetic problems, the reason why our customized T-viruses can't fuse with the experimental body is whether there is a certain reason why the immune system is hindered?"

"It's like a newly implanted organ, which needs various immunosuppressants to reduce rejection and increase the survival rate of the implanted organ, but without the help of immunosuppressants, the newly implanted human organs will be rejected due to the attack of the immune system."

Chen Chen continued to explain, "The same is true for this T virus. After all, this virus is customized according to my genes. It stands to reason that such a violent reaction should not occur. Is it possible that the immune system is too resistant? Strong reason?"

"If immunosuppressants are used, can the fighting intensity between the immune system and the T virus be reduced, so that the human body can support it for a longer period of time?"

"You can try."

Little X replied, "So, should we directly start the third experiment now?"

"Let's turn it on, as for the choice of immunosuppressants..."

Chen Chen thought for a while, "Try rapamycin first, use it in conjunction with cyclosporine A and FK506."

"clear!"

The so-called rapamycin was actually a compound isolated from a bacterium unique to Easter Island at the earliest. With the emergence of antibiotics in those years, there was a wave of searching for new antibiotics in human society.

At that time, the act of searching for various bacterial drugs was called "scientific research". Many scientific research teams ran around the world in order to collect mud from all over the world and separate microorganisms and microbial secondary metabolites from it. in search of new antibiotics.

In 1964, such a scientific expedition team came to Easter Island.

After this group of scientific expedition personnel arrived on the island, they were keen and quickly discovered that the residents on the island were all barefoot, and they raised a lot of horses.

Since it is barefoot, the soles of the feet will definitely be injured for this reason, and horse manure contains a lot of bacteria and viruses. Raising horses will greatly increase the chance of tetanus infection. However, after investigation, this scientific expedition team found that the resurrection The residents of Festival Island did not have any signs of infection.

Could it be that there is really a new type of antibiotic on this island?

So, the scientific expedition team began to dig mud and collect soil samples.

However, when the group of people passed the stone statue on Easter Island, they found that there was a piece of land at the foot of the stone statue that was in shadow all the year round. He collected a handful of soil, took it back and inspected it, and found that the soil had antibacterial effect .

So far, rapamycin has been discovered.

Subsequently, rapamycin experienced several turmoil. First, as an antibiotic, it was found to have side effects of suppressing immunity, and then it was favored by surgeons, and finally its true role was located—a more excellent drug. , Immunosuppressants with fewer side effects.

However, since 2006, many scientists have discovered again that rapamycin has the ability to prolong life. A large number of laboratories have conducted related research and found that everything from nematodes to worms to fruit flies and even mammalian mice can be infected by rapamycin. Pamycin prolongs life!

The most notable of these is the study on mice. Experiments have found that taking rapamycin can also forcibly prolong the life of mice that are dying of old age. This is something that almost no drug can do.

The specific performance is that rapamycin can slow down the rate of hardening of tendons and the rate of degeneration of liver function, and these two signs are precisely the two major signs of aging.

And scientists have also discovered that restricting calorie intake can delay cell aging to a certain extent, and a series of reactions of the human body will switch the body to "low gear", so that more energy can be used for long-term survival, while rapamycin Suspension can also play a similar role...
