Chapter 146: A breakthrough in genetic engineering! (Please subscribe)

"Mr. Zhao, why are you so excited?"
Su Jiu stood up and looked at Zhao Yuan and asked curiously, but judging from the other person's excited look, it should be that the institute had another successful research and development.
"Boss, we have made certain breakthroughs in genetic engineering research and development."
Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh? Is there a breakthrough in genetic engineering?"
Su Jiu's eyes lit up. The genetic research started two months ago. To make Zhao Yuan so excited, there must have been a huge breakthrough.
Genetic research is an inevitable project in the future. If progress can be made in this area, bionic humans can even be created in the future.
Moreover, there are currently many genetic diseases in the world, some of which can even be said to be terminal. If a breakthrough can be made in this area, these genetic diseases will definitely be solved.
Of course, these are just incidental. The reason for studying this project is that Su Jiu intends to develop good things like genetic medicine.
Through genetic medicine, humans may even be able to break through their own upper limits and become true supermen.
Su Jiu immediately stood up without hesitation and followed Zhao Yuan outside.
Although Zhao Yuan is not an expert in genetic research, he is now considered the second-in-command of Research Institute No. 9. When Su Jiu is away, he is in charge of the entire research institute.
He and Zhao Yuan came to a laboratory. There were already thousands of people here. Genetic research was a big topic, and naturally a lot of talents were needed.
When he saw Su Jiu arriving, an old man also walked towards Su Jiu. This man was Qian Feng, the team leader in charge of the genetic research project.
"Mr. Qian, what happened?"
Su Jiu looked at Qian Feng and asked.
"Boss, after so many days of research, we have finally mastered the related technologies of gene editing."
As Qian Feng spoke, he also led Su Jiu to a screen, where pictures and data related to genes were circulating.
"Boss, it is currently known that there are more than 4,000 diseases in humans that are related to genes, of which more than 1,000 genes that cause various human diseases have been identified."
"Gene mutations can occur in somatic cells or germ cells. Mutations that occur in somatic cells generally cannot be passed on to future generations, but mutations that occur in germ cells can be passed directly to future generations."
"The vast majority of human genetic diseases are caused by gene mutations, and the most famous familial genetic disease is hemophilia."
"Hemophilia is a single-gene genetic disease caused by changes in base pairs in a single DNA sequence."
"In addition, typical single-gene genetic diseases include night blindness, albinism, red-green color blindness, etc."
"Compared with single-gene genetic diseases, polygenic genetic diseases are more advantageous, such as congenital heart disease, asthma, tuberculosis, etc."
"..."
Listening to Qian Feng's introduction, Su Jiu nodded secretly. Although human lifespan has increased a lot, the shadow of disease remains with him from birth until death.

In fact, except for conditions such as trauma and extreme nutritional deficiencies, most human diseases are caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors.
Genes are the most unique markers of individual life, and abnormalities in their structure and function are often important causes of disease. This is often referred to as genetic mutation.
"So, with our current research and development progress, can we treat genetic diseases caused by this type of gene mutation?"
Su Jiu looked at Qian Feng and asked curiously.
"Yes, our current research on genetic engineering is at least five hundred years ahead of the rest of the world. All known diseases can be cured."
Qian Feng nodded and said with excitement in his eyes. He was also an academician of the Academy of Science and Technology and had been engaged in genetic research.
But research in this area is not so easy to conquer. He came to Research Institute No. 9 to see if there were any opportunities for breakthroughs. He did not expect that there was such an opportunity, and it was hundreds of years ahead of the world.
"Can cancer be cured?"
Su Jiu continued to ask, although there are certain cancer treatment possibilities around the world, this disease is still a terminal illness.
"Of course, that's why I'm so excited. In the human body, mutations in one or more nodules can cause cancer. Certain environmental factors can also cause mutations, such as attraction."
"The main characteristic mechanism of cancer is to damage the DNA repair pathway, convert normal genes into oncogenes, and inhibit the dysfunction of oncogenes. With the technology we currently have, it can be completely repaired."
Qian Feng nodded and said.
At present, there are more than 10 million new cancer cases in the world every year, and there are about 10 million deaths every year. This is definitely a catastrophic disease, and no effective treatment has been found so far.
But now their No. 9 Research Institute has mastered it. Once this research is announced, it will definitely cause shock all over the world.
Although the previous research of No. 9 Research Institute shocked the world, most of the research could not be popularized around the world, and even within the Heavenly Court, these research and development were rarely used.
But it is different now. Once a cancer treatment method is released, not only everyone in heaven will benefit, but people all over the world will benefit from this research and development.
"Boss, we are currently able to extract theGene fragments can even be edited to create a new gene, and some of these genes have special powers. "
"If we can make good use of it, we might be able to extend human lifespan, or even undergo some kind of benign mutation and become so-called superpowers."
Qian Feng continued to say that this aspect is still just speculation and has not been verified, but he has seen hope.
"Now that you have a direction, go ahead and do research boldly, but there is no need for bottom-line research. Once discovered, you should understand the consequences."
Su Jiu looked at Qian Feng and said seriously.
These scientific researchers are talents, but they may also become crazy. Su Jiu still needs to control this aspect.
To avoid some non-humanitarian research, which he did not want to see.
"Don't worry, boss, I will supervise this aspect."
Zhao Yuan nodded beside him and said that he would personally supervise every project research in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
"Now that the research and development results have been obtained, I will also contact the senior management to announce this matter. This can be regarded as benefiting the whole world."
Su Jiu said a few more words before leaving, and went to look at other research projects.
In addition to genetic engineering research, there is also a weapons research and development team, especially those Lei Hao Stones that Su Jiu brought back, which have been put into research at this time.
There is also research on artificial intelligence. With the current capabilities of the No. 9 Research Institute, it is very simple to develop a robot.
But Su Jiu had no intention of doing this. If the robot was really developed and put into use, it would definitely have a huge impact on the market in various fields of Tianting, causing countless people to lose their jobs.
At present, Tianting does not need high-end technology such as robots. At most, a few can be manufactured in the research institute to help.
After looking around, Su Jiu was very satisfied. The research progress of the institute was faster than he imagined.
At the same time, Su Jiu also saw the news on the Internet, which was about him taking the mecha army to perform missions in other countries.
At this time, this matter was making a big fuss on the Internet, especially after the CEO of the Free State and others spoke to express their gratitude to heaven. For a moment, everyone was filled with a sense of national honor... and even started to float.
"It's not like you did it, and I don't know what happened."
Su Jiu shook his head helplessly. He could understand this sense of pride, but some people began to arrogantly provoke other countries. It really looked like they were pretending to be powerful.
After reading the news, Su Jiu ignored it. He believed that the higher authorities would handle these matters, so he didn't bother to care.
Then Su Jiu dialed Liu Minghai's phone number.
"Xiao Su, have you rested? Are you injured?"
As soon as the call was connected, Liu Minghai's caring words rang in Su Jiu's ears, making Su Jiu couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, Minister Liu. I'm fine. I just didn't expect this matter to become such a big deal." Su Jiu said.
"Hahaha, this was decided after discussion by our senior management. Since we have done this, it is naturally necessary to let the whole world know about it, and what we did is not a bad thing."
"You kid, you don't know. Just now, many countries have sent us requests, wanting us to help annihilate the gangs of criminals in their countries."
Liu Minghai laughed.
"They are treating us as mercenaries."
Su Jiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that these countries would have such thoughts.
"Don't worry, we haven't agreed yet. Even if we do, they 520 will have to pay the price."
"They have a good plan. In this way, they want to establish a friendly relationship with our heaven, and they also want to use our hands to help them get rid of the harm. On the contrary, they will not lose anything. How can there be such a good thing in the world."
If these criminal gangs were really easy to solve, they would have solved them by themselves. How could they still ask the Heavenly Court to make it clear that they value the power of the mecha and want to pull out these evils without losing a penny? .
Some countries even sent out news, saying that they were already communicating with Heaven and preparing to request the support of an army of mechas.
As soon as this news came out, some gangs in these countries began to become nervous, and some were already preparing to evacuate.
They may not believe the situation in the video, but after asking about it themselves, especially after seeing the photos of the scene, they don't think they can fight against such an invincible mecha army.
Su Jiu didn't say anything. Currently, the Heavenly Court Military already had an army of mechas. Even if the higher-ups really agreed to help, they wouldn't be able to use the mechas from their No. 9 Research Institute.
"By the way, Xiao Su, is there something wrong with you?"
Liu Minghai talked for a while, and when Su Jiu didn't speak, he asked curiously. Anyway, every time the other party called him, there would be good news.
"A genetic engineering project in our institute has produced some results. If this project is used in medicine, it can treat cancer."
Su Jiu nodded and said, remembering the main purpose of her call.
"What? Can it cure cancer?"
Hearing this, Liu Minghai was shocked. He really didn't expect that Su Jiu would tell him such news.
"Well, some volunteers have already tried it and succeeded, so I'm just telling you."
"Okay, I will report this matter to the senior management immediately and will get back to you soon."
Liu Minghai hung up the phone as he spoke, feeling excited again. He could imagine how much shock it would cause once word spread that cancer could be cured.
Su Jiu was not in a hurry and waited quietly. At the same time, she also opened her own system interface...
