Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1448 Virus Mutation
Michael is the only one who possesses perfect blood, and the probability of this happening is extremely low.

Perfect blood, this legendary miracle, not only contains powerful immune capabilities never seen before in human history, but also contains the key to unlocking the potential of life.

The roots of this uniqueness are deeply embedded in Michael's genetic code, the rare result of millions of years of natural selection intertwined with genetic mutations.

The rarity of Michael's perfect blood was largely due to the limitations of genetic technology at the time.

At that time, the exploration of genetics was still in its infancy, scientists had a shallow understanding of genes, and genetic manipulation relied on the natural reproduction process of the organism itself.

This means that the properties of Perfect Blood are almost impossible to replicate or pass on to the next generation except through direct bloodline.

Therefore, although Michael's family had countless descendants, none of them could inherit this God-given gift.

However, the wheel of history always rolls forward and scientific progress never stops.

With the rise of artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, the field of genetics has undergone a revolutionary breakthrough.

These technologies have not only greatly broadened the options for human reproduction, but also opened up new avenues for the treatment and prevention of genetic diseases.

Artificial insemination, through non-natural mating, injects selected sperm directly into the female body, achieving precise control of reproductive cells.

In vitro fertilization technology has taken this process to the extreme, allowing scientists to perform various operations on fertilized eggs in a laboratory environment, including but not limited to gene editing, screening and enhancement.

It is based on these advanced technical means that scientific researchers have begun to tackle the problem of perfect blood inheritance.

They first extracted high-quality reproductive cells from Michael, and used gene sequencing technology to conduct a detailed analysis of the DNA in them, accurately locating those gene sequences that were directly related to the characteristics of perfect blood.

This is an extremely complex and delicate task, because perfect blood is not determined by a single gene, but is the result of the interaction of multiple genes, and every subtle difference may affect the final phenotype.

Next, the researchers used gene editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 to accurately replicate and modify these key genes to ensure that they could be stably passed on to the next generation.

At the same time, in order to verify the feasibility of this process, they selected egg cells donated by healthy volunteers, and through in vitro fertilization, combined the gene-edited Michael's sperm with these egg cells to form a fertilized egg carrying the perfect blood gene.

After several days of careful cultivation in a culture dish that simulates the uterine environment, these fertilized eggs eventually developed into early embryos.

As the embryos grew, researchers used high-resolution imaging technology and gene expression analysis to rigorously screen them to ensure that they not only inherited Michael's perfect blood gene, but also maintained normal growth and development potential.

After layers of screening, several of the healthiest embryos were selected and prepared for the next step of transplantation.

However, this is only the first step in a long journey.

The next challenge is how to verify whether these gene-edited babies have indeed inherited all the characteristics of perfect blood and whether these characteristics will have any adverse effects on their health.

At the same time, Michael's blood samples were sent to Hydra's top virology laboratory for a series of unprecedented tests. The reason why perfect blood is special is not only its powerful immune ability, but also the strange effect it produces when interacting with certain viruses.

The plague virus from six centuries ago was completely suppressed and could not replicate after coming into contact with Michael's blood. This discovery made scientists very excited because it indicated that perfect blood might provide new ideas for treating various stubborn diseases.

The rabies virus carried by bats and wolves showed even more shocking results.

Under the influence of Michael's blood, the rabies virus mutated and not only lost its original pathogenicity, but also gave the host some extraordinary abilities.

Laboratory animals infected with bat rabies virus exhibited vampire-like characteristics, such as increased nocturnal activity, an abnormal desire for blood, and a certain degree of self-healing ability.

The wolf rabies virus gives rise to the werewolf phenomenon, in which the host undergoes drastic physiological changes on full-moon nights, with greatly increased strength, speed and sensory acuity, along with intense aggression and wildness.

Faced with such attractive scientific research prospects, researchers decided to adopt a more comprehensive and in-depth testing strategy.

They first reviewed all the viruses known in history that have caused major epidemics, including but not limited to ancient viruses such as smallpox, plague, cholera, as well as emerging viruses in recent years such as Ebola virus, Zika virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), influenza virus, etc.

These viruses were chosen not only based on their pathogenicity, but also on their impact on human society and the extent to which they are understood by the scientific community.

The Ebola virus, known for its extremely high mortality rate and hemorrhagic symptoms, was one of the team's top test subjects.

Researchers conducted experiments in a highly secure Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-) laboratory, bringing trace amounts of inactivated Ebola virus samples into contact with Michael's blood samples.

They observed cellular changes in blood samples using high-precision microscopes and used gene sequencing technology to monitor whether any viral gene fragments were degraded or modified by specific components in the blood.

Surprisingly, the experimental results showed that Michael's blood seemed to be able to quickly recognize and neutralize the protein shell of the Ebola virus, preventing it from entering the cells, thereby effectively inhibiting the replication and spread of the virus.

Meanwhile, Perfect Blood modified the Ebola sample far beyond the cellular level and subsequently absorbed the virus.

"The cells of Perfect Blood have grown stronger!"

The researchers exclaimed that it seemed that the effect of the Ebola virus on perfect blood was not the same kind of variability as that of vampires and werewolves.

However, after further research, it was discovered that the blood had still mutated, leading to the emergence of mutant organism 004.

001 is Alexander Corvinus, 002 is the vampire ancestor Marcus, and 003 is the werewolf ancestor William.

004 mutant organism, this organism not only has extraordinary resilience and absolute immunity to diseases, but can also spread the mutated form of the Ebola virus to other people through contact with body fluids.
