126: Chapter 126: Head of the Yanhuang Project, are you interested?
Professor Ai Chongfeng's worldview was severely shaken.
Countless medical experts on Blue Star have followed one after another, researching cancer treatment, especially methods for a complete cure, for countless years, only to ultimately declare failure.
"You're saying you have a way to cure cancer?"
You have to understand, because of the three major characteristics of cancer cells—unlimited proliferation, transformability, and easy metastasis—cancer is known as the incurable disease of the modern era.
Normally, cancer cells frantically plunder nutrients in the body, proliferating infinitely and destroying normal cellular tissue, while the cancer cell genome is also constantly changing.
Even if the tumor is removed through surgery, if the patient's physical fitness and immunity are not strong, the probability of recurrence is extremely high!
And since they've already contracted cancer, how strong could you expect the patient's physical condition to be?
When cancer recurs, wherever the cancer cells metastasize, they form a brand-new type of cancer with a completely different genetic sequence, making targeted treatment fundamentally impossible.
No matter how much screening is done, it's useless; if you're going to get it, you'll get it. There's simply no way around it!
How could this possibly be cured? At the current speed of technological development, even in another ten or twenty years, it would be difficult to achieve a key breakthrough!
But... Professor Ai Chongfeng sensed his own body. He felt full of strength, and the pain was completely gone!
Based on how he felt, he had truly and completely recovered. He even felt more robust and powerful, as if he were a completely different person...
Everything, which defied all common sense, fully confirmed that Lin Mo was telling the truth.
"Little Mo, you said just now that the function of the Genetic Supplement is to stimulate genetic potential and improve physical fitness."
Recalling Lin Mo's words, Professor Ai Chongfeng asked the biggest question on his mind.
"But the cancer cells haven't actually been killed. In fact, during the process of strengthening the body, they might even proliferate wildly due to the massive intake of nutrients. How can this be called a cure?"
Lin Mo smiled. As expected of a high-level intellectual at the doctoral supervisor level; even when crossing disciplines, his questions hit the key point.
"Mentor, as I said just now," "In a strict sense, this Genetic Supplement cannot cure so-called cancer, because the cancer cells haven't been killed at all."
"Because the human body's physical fitness and immunity are enhanced to the maximum extent under the influence of potential stimulation and genetic supplementation," "thereby achieving a state of harmonious coexistence between the person and the cancer cells, without affecting normal life in any way."
Having said this, Lin Mo used a joking manner to provide an example.
"In other words, Mentor, you are still in the terminal stage of cancer, and it has even metastasized to every part of your body,"
"Not just stomach cancer, but liver cancer, intestinal cancer, brain cancer, bone cancer, blood cancer..." "If you were to undergo cancer cell screening now, I estimate all the values would go straight off the charts!"
"If you let all the tumor experts in the world diagnose you, they would all assert that you wouldn't live for more than three hours!"
"Those tumor experts would even be wishing for you to kick the bucket sooner so they could slice you up; every organ and tissue could produce hundreds of SCI papers!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Ai Chongfeng suddenly realized! He was a smart man and quickly understood Lin Mo's research approach.
As for so-called cancer treatment, why must one insist on 'curing' it? Lin Mo directly shifted the traditional research mindset, bypassing the proposition of treating cancer to explore the mysteries of the Chinese people's genes, achieving harmonious coexistence between humans and cancer by improving the physical fitness of the Chinese people!
No... it wasn't shifting the mindset, but inheriting a philosophy! Professor Ai Chongfeng quickly realized that Lin Mo's concept of humans coexisting with cancer was entirely inherited from the Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy passed down through the ages in China!
The Traditional Chinese Medicine system for treating illnesses and saving people has always adhered to the philosophy of using "root treatment" methods to achieve the result of "symptom relief." Its primary treatment methods involve regulating the body through decoctions, moxibustion, massage, etc., stimulating the human body's own potential, and improving its own immunity, thereby enabling people to resist the spread of cancer cells on their own, as well as resisting various other diseases. This is also the principle behind Traditional Chinese Medicine's body regulation.
Thinking of this, Professor Ai Chongfeng looked at Lin Mo with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
Just thinking about this path was enough to know it was not easy to walk; it could be said to be covered in thorns, and for anyone else, it would be an absolute dead end.
But that's the absurd part; this path of certain death was actually, damn it, successfully walked by Lin Mo...
Cancer, which countless researchers had spent countless hours failing to overcome, was just like that, taken down by you, Lin Mo?
And it wasn't just cancer... After human physical fitness was greatly improved, all rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, including AIDS, would be cured without treatment!
Diseases caused by all viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other external pathogenic factors would also become a thing of the past! It would be no exaggeration to say that one would be immune to a hundred diseases, and the average life expectancy would also increase significantly!
As the Genetic Supplement enters millions of households and covers all Chinese people, the entire Chinese society will also undergo earth-shaking changes!
"Little Mo, you creator of miracles, you really live up to your reputation!" Professor Ai Chongfeng shook his head and sighed.
Such an absurd scientific research achievement, which Lin Mo created all by himself in his spare time while promoting several major projects, just casually and easily like that—this, damn it, is just absurd!
Regarding this, Professor Ai Chongfeng didn't know what to say at all and could only repeat the word "absurd" in his heart!
Lin Mo leaned back against the back of the sofa and smiled calmly.
"Mentor, the Genetic Supplement is of great importance. The reason I haven't spoken about it publicly is mainly because there are too many things to consider."
"For forbidden engineering like human genetics, if an accident were to occur, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Moreover, the Genetic Supplement is a genetic engineering product specifically targeted at the Chinese people, so we must be even more cautious."
Upon hearing this, Professor Ai Chongfeng frowned. Lin Mo was right, and there were even some things he hadn't explicitly stated.
The Genetic Supplement would not only have conflicts at the level of ethics and morality, but there was also the most crucial matter: strict confidentiality! Absolute confidentiality!
Once the Genetic Supplement, created using the Chinese human gene bank, and its related supporting technologies were leaked, it would be equivalent to letting the enemy hold the life and death of the Chinese people in their hands!
They would only need to carry out targeted research projects to develop biochemical weapons specifically aimed at Chinese people, and at that point, the consequences would truly be unimaginable!
While Professor Ai Chongfeng was deep in thought, Lin Mo continued to speak.
"Therefore, I must find someone I can trust one hundred percent to be responsible for the research, development, and production of the Genetic Supplement."
"Mentor, Project Houyi has come to an end, and the follow-up work can be left to Academician Xiang and the others,"
"I wonder, are you interested in being the General Director of this 'Yanhuang Project'?"
