The two people behind the attending doctor took a few steps forward. One of them, a middle-aged man, came to Wang Mengkai. He pushed up his glasses and observed carefully.
He murmured to himself, and although he was speaking the language of his country, what Zhang and Lei heard was only the familiar language.
If you like, you can even adjust the translator to your native dialect. The middle-aged man said: "Mr. Wang Mengkai, I observed the distribution of your lymphocytes. It is very serious. If treatment is not carried out quickly, the tumor will spread to the entire body. It has become extremely uncontrollable, and ordinary treatment has no possibility of reversal..."
"If you are willing, I have a way to cure your disease, but the probability is not high."
Wang Mengkai nodded dullly, his eyes a little complicated, and he said softly: "Why are you looking for me?"
"Oh, that's it. Teacher, his technology requires human trials, and you are the best solution among all our patients." Hearing Wang Mengkai speak, the young man standing behind the middle-aged man quickly explained.
"Human experiment? What is it about?" Zhang Lei frowned. She was already suspicious of these two people. Now that she heard their words, she became even more worried.
"Sorry, this experiment is confidential..." Before the young man could finish, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man. He smiled and said: "It is an experiment about the transformation of cancer cells. We need experimental subjects with complete proliferation of cancer cells, and Mr. Wang Mengkai It fits this criteria very well.”
"So, I have to wait until the cancer cells have completely spread before I can undergo treatment? If it fails, will I just... die?" Wang Mengkai's eyes widened again when he heard that there was still hope to cure his lymphoma. Bright, but he still asked rationally.
"Yes..." The middle-aged man paused and wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
Wang Mengkai turned his head to Zhang Lei with difficulty: "Lei, I..." Her eyes were a little red, and she immediately smiled and said: "No need to say anything, no matter what you want to do, I will support you!"
Soon, the middle-aged man motioned to the student behind him to take out a contract. There were two types of contracts, one was a confidentiality agreement and the other was a death release.
"Why can't I go!" Zhang Lei roared like crazy. Of course she wanted to go with Wang Mengkai, so that even if the experiment failed in the future, they could spend their last days together.
It was clearly written in the contract that the experimental location was not Country Z, but Country R, and it was torn apart abruptly. How could Zhang Lei accept this?
The attending doctor ignored Zhang Lei and responded. He faced Wang Mengkai and said, "I'm really sorry, they didn't mention this just now, but this experiment is really important to them, and this is the only treatment you can do now." Please consider this method carefully!"
Zhang Lei glared at the doctor. She didn't have a good impression of this man to begin with, and now she wanted to persuade her? It’s really a big joke!
Looking at his beloved, Wang Mengkai just patted the back of her hand, and then chuckled: "I may not know other things, but I can guess that you took their money. ……am I right."
The attending doctor seemed to have eaten a fly, his face looked ugly, but he could not refute. He did receive a large amount of money, otherwise why would he bring these two people here to see Wang Mengkai in person?
"I will participate in this experiment, but Zhang Lei must go with me." Wang Mengkai was extremely determined, which made it difficult for the attending doctor.
The middle-aged man hesitated to speak, and simply nodded: "She can come with you, but she can't stay in the laboratory... I will let her live in my house temporarily on a personal basis, which is very close to the laboratory. , we can still meet anytime and anywhere, what do you think of this method?"
This method was satisfactory, and Wang Mengkai finally agreed. In order not to delay the treatment, the four of them took a flight the next day.
They are going to country R. As the world's number one country Z, this neighboring country's economy is naturally very prosperous.
Due to the special geographical location and the increasing population, Country R has the most maritime cities in the world. It has a total of 37 maritime cities and 6 undersea cities.
In addition, it has high-standard industrial manufacturing levels, which also means that its machinery industry is also at the forefront.
Therefore, Country R not only has intelligent robots that can be seen everywhere, but the ratio of humans to robots has reached a terrifying 1:4, which means that there will be at least 4 or more robots around a person.
Wang Mengkai and the others got off the plane, and an autonomous vehicle specially designed to pick up and drop off passengers came to them. When they got on the bus, a small transport vehicle followed them, with only their luggage inside.
After leaving the airport gate, within half a minute, you can see an endless sea of cars. They are moving in an orderly manner and are completely automatically operated by the cloud background.
Seeing the middle-aged man walking up to the mobile robot to buy a ticket, "By the way, what are your names? We still haven't gotten to know each other after such a long time." Wang Mengkai looked at the young man and asked softly. He saw that the young people were similar in age to them, so there shouldn't be much of a generation gap when communicating.
Zhang Lei and the others did not know their names from beginning to end. The young man among them smiled and shook his head: "My teacher is Ryotaro Ii who laid the foundation for genetic recombination. You should have heard of this name. As for me, My name is Ito Masayuki...you can just call me Ito."
After Ito Masayuki finished the introduction, he looked at the teacher in the distance again, and his back was engraved in Ito's eyes.
Although Wang Mengkai had never heard of Iryotaro, he knew very well about genetic recombination and thought that this technology saved Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei suffered from heart failure since she was a child. Originally, she was not so cheerful and did not dare to be so lively. No one dared to play with her.
As time went by, no one was willing to talk to her, and they would automatically forget about her in any outing activities or games, which made her childhood deeply clouded.
But her family ended up spending a lot of money to transplant a pig's heart into her body.
Many people may wonder, why a pig’s heart? Not a chimpanzee? Their genes are significantly closer to humans.
First of all, if you want a new internal organ or organ, cloning technology cannot be used. This is expressly prohibited.
At the same time, because of the ban, human cloning technology is very backward. It is simply impossible to clone an organ alone. The simplest way is to directly clone a person and then remove the organs needed by the patient, which means changing one life for another.
This method is very inhumane, and cloning takes time, and patients cannot afford to wait.
Secondly, neither 3D printing technology nor grafting technology is mature enough. Due to human physique, 3D printing technology does not have so many materials to choose from.
Grafting technology, simply put, is to place human organ cells on other organisms, let them grow in culture, and finally remove them when needed, just like grafted plants.
However, this technology is still in a bottleneck period. The grafted organ only has a shape, but does not have the function it should have. If all medical methods are eliminated, only biological transplantation is the simplest and most reliable method.
There is no doubt that orangutans are closest to human genes, but orangutans lose out in numbers. They can only give birth to 1-2 cubs at a time, which is pretty good.
As for pigs, it is absolutely fine for them to give birth to more than a dozen at a time. Secondly, pigs and humans share 84% of their genes. Having so many genes cannot be used casually.
For example, cats, dogs, dolphins and other creatures are genetically very close to humans, but their performance and organs are quite different from humans, so they cannot be the first consideration.
Therefore, scientists also eliminated all factors and finally chose pigs as a substitute for humans.
However, just by choosing the right biological organs, there will always be differences between them and human organs. Some animal diseases are not harmful to animals at all, but for humans, they are incurable diseases.
Take AIDS, for example. Before it could be cured, this disease had plagued humans for hundreds of years, but for chimpanzees, it was as if it didn't exist at all.
Dr. Edward also used gene fusion technology to compare 3 billion base pairs one by one to find out the differences between chimpanzees and humans, so as to fuse their genes to treat AIDS.
Organ transplantation also uses gene fusion technology to fuse the genes of other organisms into human-like genes without causing viruses from other organisms to achieve a comparable result.
Knowing that the person in front of him was indeed Ryotaro Ii, Wang Mengkai's heart gradually relaxed. Of course, Wang Mengkai would not just listen to Ito Masayuki's words. He also verified it himself. The Internet is very developed, and people who have made outstanding contributions can be identified at a glance.
Zhang Lei also searched and found that Iryotaro was indeed very similar to the middle-aged man. After the two looked at each other, they understood clearly.
If it was Ryotaro Ii who really came to participate in the experiment, then Wang Mengkai's chance of being cured would be much higher, and the two of them were delighted. Seeing hope, how could they not be happy?
…
Seeing Zhang Xu crash into the building, he turned slightly and passed by the building. The glass of the building lifted up and fell, causing a wave of green waves composed of countless debris.
Zhang Xu's eyes were like lightning. At the last moment, he unfolded his bone wings, and the wing membrane composed of blood suddenly expanded, driving his whole body to fly backwards, and finally he landed smoothly.
He looked up at the sky and shook his head with a chuckle. Gao Peng and Liu Qimeng were swaying in the air, and the tiny black spots gradually enlarged. Zhang Xu didn't think much about it, and exerted force on his calves, heading straight up the building.
"Where are you touching? Let me go!" Liu Qimeng frowned and glared at Gao Peng. There was nothing she could do. If she had the ability to fly, she wouldn't be taken advantage of by the man in front of her.
Liu Qimeng had no choice but to use ice to block Gao Peng's thieving hands, and by the way, she stabbed Gao Peng several times with sharp ice. Of course, this did not impress the evolver.
But Gao Peng grinned mischievously: "Hiss, you dare to stab me? Who are you looking down on? The number of women I have ever touched is eight hundred if not one thousand... If you do this, then I will really let you go." After that, he Suddenly letting go, Liu Qimeng felt weightless for a while, and the strong air flow whistled in her ears.
