Chapter 595 Remembrance of the past
Even from today's perspective, the research on "Plan C" is quite outstanding.

The success of Plan C has also led to the maturity of another project, the Xiaohuandan project.

From 200 years ago to today, the structure of Huandanzyme has been continuously fine-tuned, but its effective process and synthetic route basically follow the results of that year.

As simple and reliable as Hudanzyme, Scheme C is as safe and economical as it is.

To this day, chivalrous men and asylum seekers are also using Hudanase to reshape the neural network of the brain and improve their internal strength.

To put it simply, Yawgmoth did not simply use "signaling factors", but chose to reinsert a protein.

This protein can be recognized by specific cell membrane receptors and enter the cell.

From the perspective of a computer, the "nucleus" is the "hard disk" of this chemical machine, and the "program" is recorded in the DNA inside. The process of "transcription" is "reading".

And its operating system is the endlessly running chemical reaction at the bottom of life—the enzyme system.

Numerous signal molecules and enzymes carry out complex reactions together, forming a dynamic balance that can be adjusted.

The final solution Yawgmoth gave was to "temporarily type a line of code into this enzyme system".

After the redanase enters the nerve cells, it will become a new catalytic node in a series of chemical reactions, "lighting up" one after another new reaction routes that have not been connected before.A series of signal factors are generated in a precise and orderly manner, and a series of instructions are input to the nerve cells to recall the past state.

And when the cells reversed to a certain extent, those redan enzymes would be exhausted, terminating the reversal process.

Hudanase cannot actively penetrate the cell membrane, but must be actively accepted by the cell membrane and enter it in the form of endocytosis.At the same time, the amount of redamase that can enter a single cell is limited.In addition, humans cannot synthesize redanase by themselves, and there is a decomposition pathway in neurons that can gradually remove redanase.

The earlier in the terminal differentiation of neurons, the more active the decomposition pathway is, and the easier it is to react off redanse.Since the neurons are not able to produce the supplemental redanase on their own, the signaling factors that "invoke the pubertal state" are no longer produced, and the response is terminated.

However, the absorption rate of redanse by neurons is actually very low, thus giving the drug enough time to diffuse.In this way, it can be ensured that the cells in a certain area will not be directly reversed into neural stem cells or even totipotent stem cells due to excessive drug concentration.

And the life cycle reversal medicine corresponding to the immune system—the 18:3 medicine also has the same characteristics.

Xiang Shan, Zhu Xinyu and other superman executives who completed the transformation later all used this plan.After all, everyone is very busy, and Plan C still has a huge advantage in the relaxed requirements for hospitalization time.

In addition to "pharmaceutical cost" and "waiting time", Plan C also has a relatively inconspicuous but real benefit-the immune system can directly adapt to the state of the baseline person after reactivation and development.

Although the next step for human beings is to use mechanical bodies, that step will not be achieved overnight.In Xiangshan's initial thinking, human beings will transition to "universal prosthetics" within one to two hundred years.At this stage, humans still need a little immunity.

——18:3 Potion... Speaking of which, I also chose the name... Shouldn't it?
Compared with naming, Xiang Shan has never been afraid of anyone (except Yingjia).Whether it is the benchmark or other products, Yawgmoth intends to choose a name at will. The two legal names of "Baseman" were translated by Xiang Shan himself with a Latin dictionary in his arms.

Unlike Hudanzyme, which specializes in neurons, the 18:3 drug is a "cocktail" composed of multiple drugs in proportion.

18:3 The name of the potion is taken from Matthew 18:3 in the Bible, "If you do not turn back and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

But obviously, there are also a small group of people who are not suitable for this road of "entering the kingdom of heaven".

In a sense, the 18:3 enzyme with the function of "immune memory cleaning agent" is even more dangerous than HIV.

While he was able to return the cellular function of the immune system to the embryonic state, the rest of the body was long gone.

The human body actually produces cancer cells constantly.The immune system will also continue to eliminate sporadic cancer cells in the body to maintain the health of the body.As long as cancer cells have not acquired immune evasion ability, it is almost impossible to experience terrifying exponential growth under the siege of the immune system.

Therefore, it often takes many years of accumulation of "practice" from "appearance of cancer cells" to "display of detectable early symptoms".

The incidence of cancer increases with age.Because if a cell wants to become a cancer cell, it must first have "proto-oncogene out of control" and "tumor suppressor gene out of control", and then successively point out "telomerase", "promoting angiogenesis", "immune evasion", and "infiltration". "Transfer" a series of skill trees - this is a complete combo, and any link missing is unlikely to kill people.

In the human embryonic stage, all the cells in the human body have just begun to divide, and it is too late for "mistakes" to accumulate with the division.

And when it comes to adults, it is entirely possible that there will be a very small amount of cancer cells, but their immune system can eliminate them in time in most cases, maintaining this terrible dynamic balance at a very low level.

Malignant tumors will appear in the late stage of AIDS, because these tumor cells have lost the suppression of the immune system.

After the immune system returns to the "Yuanying", these sporadic cancer cells may get out of control.From the return of the immune system to the embryonic period, until the transformation of human beings into baseline humans, cancer cells are prone to wanton expansion.

Therefore, those with a family history of cancer, especially lymphoma and leukemia, those with cancer-causing viruses lurking in their bodies, those who have suffered from cancer but have been cured... The above groups of people are not suitable for Yawgmoth's Plan C.

A small number of them will choose option B, which has the highest risk and cost. Essentially, option B is a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which has a significant curb effect on cancer cells.

For the remaining part, option A will be chosen.Although the magic modification of HIV in plan A will also lead to immune collapse and loss of suppression of cancer cells in the late stage, the operation will be completed before the disease progresses to that point.

Moreover, Option A does not need to touch the proto-oncogene.

Xiang Shan really felt it was a pity.If Yawgmoth's research on "accelerating the course of chronic diseases" can continue, plan A is indeed a perfect plan.

But human beings will inevitably do everything possible to cast the production tool "plough" into a "sword". "Turning swords into plows" may be just a beautiful fantasy in a specific historical situation.

Xiang Shan himself is a person who can transform all science and technology into "martial arts".

"I'm still happy at that time." Xiang Shan raised his head and sighed silently: "Talk about plan A...HIV. I remember..."

　After reading yesterday's comments, I found that my imagination for scientific research investment is still not enough, so I raised the R&D process from "[-] billion" to "hundreds of billions".
